Help. 648 Max-L, AGP, Memory, and instability

Everyone -
I just built my first computer and I need help here.  This is what I got:
MSI 648 Max-L MB
Corsair 1x512 MB DDR333 (slot 1)
SapphireTech ATI 9500 Pro 128 MB (64MB AAP)
P4 2.4 ghz
This all started when I installed the OS then tried to play battlefield 1942.  the game would load fine and 5 minutes in the game would crash to the desktop without any errors.  I realized I never installed the MB Sis AGP drivers.  I did so and updated the drivers from ATI (when the card is from Sapphire), and errors galore started to surfaces.
I re-installed the OS and the MB drivers.  I then installed the AGP drivers from the SapphireCD.  I installed the Sis AGP Driver from MSI.  I am getting constant errors trying to open windows on the desktop.  Everything from folders, msie, notepad, etc.  My Event viewer shows errors like "a thread could not be created for this service".
I also noticed dxdiag showed Texture Acceleration as "Not Available".  How is that?
I am at a lost here guys.  Is my video card bad? is it my memory?

Everything is working.
THe fix was to turn OFF fast writes AND uninstall the AGP MB drivers.  No idea why this is...
I have the ATI card drivers, I just do not have the MoBo AGP drivers.  I also put in Directx 9.
you gotta check this out...

  • 648 max pci/agp optinn

    Dear Sir,
    My system is:
    Msi 648 MAX  ver1.1 HT ready
    Intel P4 2.4Ghz 512KB bus 100 Mhz
    Msi MX440SE-T AGP 64MB DDR
    WD 80GB 7200 HDD
    Samsung 52-24-52 CD-RW
    Creative modem blaster v.90 di5655
    P.S. Logic 300W
    Win 98SE & WinXp
    My problem is :
    The bios has an option in the frequency/voltage control menu called
    AGP/PCI Frequency (MHz)
    which gives me the ability to adjust the pci/agp bus clock frequency.
    This option doesn't work, and my clue is
    1-  When I adjust my CPU FSB more than 110 MHz (PCI > 36.66 MHZ) and this option to 66/33 the computer boots normally until it starts loading the O.S. and errors saying that the OS cannot start due to lost system files, or Read Write error to Aux device, or it hangs.
    2- When I adjust this option to 80/40 and the CPU FSB to Auto (100 MHz), the computer boots normally and load the O.S. normally and everything goes just fine. and Sandra software reports the PCI clock frequency as 33 MHz.
    Thats to say that the PCI/CPU FSB ratio is fixed at 1/3 regardless to any value selected in this option.
    2nd problem is
    The DMI of this board which report wrong information either by your included DMI program or by any other software like Sandra Software for the following items:
    1- Supported memory types: Standard, Fast Page, Edo, Parity, ECC, SiMM         ( supports 184-pin unbuffered DDR DIMM without ECC, manual page 1-2)
    2- Supported memory voltage: 3.3V         (2.5v manual page. 2-5)
    3- Number of memory slots: 4 slots         ( There are only 3 slots)
    4- PCI slots: 5                                       ( There are 6 slots)
    5- ISA slots: 2                                       (There is no ISA slots on this Board)
                                                            Faithfully,
                                                                    Mar.
     

    You need the SiS USB2.0 driver

  • MSI 648 Max with AGP X8 - BIOS update

    I have replaced my old AGP card with Radeon 9550 256MB for use with my new Dell 20" WS monitor.
    Every time, after starting or during 3DMark03, it crashed back to desktop and sometimes retarting my pc.  I try ram settings, aperature etc with no luck.  My pc has TrueBlue 480 watt PSU and the voltage reading is good.
    In the end, I searched this forum and found out it was the problem with AGP X8 so I changed it to AGP X4 via ATI control panel, my pc went through 3Dmark03 with no problems at all.  AGP X4 works flawless.
    Regarding BIOS - my motherboard is SIS 648 MAX-L HT ready (Hyper-threading) and its latest BIOS version is v3.1.  I'm just wondering that is my board exactly the same as non-HT 648 MAX board physically?  Since they use same chipset with same layout and also because I noticed the BIOS update for non-HT version is different with v1.5 and has the fix for Radeon 9700 problem which could be related to my problem.  Since I'm using Pentium 4 2.53Ghz, Hyper-threading is a useless feature, could I flash my board with this BIOS?
    Thanks in advance

  • What items can I stop running and or uninstall so my Mac runs faster. It tends to max out the memory and then I do a reboot. This is my first Mac and upset that I can't install more memory, wish the sales person had told me that when I bought it.

  • SiS AGP drivers with 648 MAX-F and TI-4600 GS

    A few days ago I bought a new computer. Here are the specs:
    Compucas 6A21B 300W SuperLowNoise
    Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2,4GHz
    MSI 648 MAX-F
    Kingston 512Mb 333Mhz DDR
    Seagate Barracuda ATA V 80Gt 7200rpm
    Gainward Geforce4 Ti4600 ultra/750 XP golden sample
    windows 2000
    I have tried everything to get the SiS AGP drivers work. Every time I start with them I get a white screen with colourful horizontal lines. There is also gray at the bottom of my screen. This picture comes after the windows screen, when it should say preparing network connections and everything. I have service pack 3 and DirectX 9. I have tried many different versions of the drivers from both MSI and Gainward/NVidia. I even upgraded my BIOS. From bios I have tried all the DRAM timing things. Now I have a nice set of drivers on my computer. Is there anything else to do than wait for new drivers? It works fine after I uninstall the AGP drivers. Does the operating system matter?

    Did you try the newest drivers from Nvidia's website?
    Did you try video card in another system when you had it in the shop, and another video card in your system? I take it you did a clean install of Windows XP. Mine has had no problems in WindowsXP, It's a Chaintech Ti4600. While I do have Windows 2000, I haven't used it on this system so I'm no help there. Also did you try setting BIOS to default settings? Come to think of it, I think it defaults to graphics card in PCI slot, maybe I'm thinking of another board. Don't know if that would make a difference anyway. Can you go into safemode and update or remove the agp drivers and start over? Is this fun or what? Did the AGP drivers you installed, create a Sis agp utility folder in the start menu? That might give you some information about any possible problems. What are the agp voltage readings in the BIOS?
    Oops! Checked my BIOS, there is no setting for graphics card in PCI slot. Way too many motherboards.  I'd try re-installing XP from scratch, install all sis drivers, install Nvidia drivers, install XP service pack. If that doesn't work, get mad, scream and run out the front door with arms flailing!

  • 648 max , testing base and extended memory

    I dont see the thread i answered to one time that someone spoke of using ddr400 with 648 max or max-L board and they were getting testing base and extended memory error from the LED's.  Well i just got the same error today and my system would not boot i cut the power to the PS. and turned it back on it would start to boot and hang i could barely get to the windows logo sometimes the vid card wouldnt even boot the logo to the screen. This is with an updated mobo that msi sent me that i had just put in , it seemed to run fine at first then this problem started occuring.  The only difference i had in the setup from the previous outdated board was i had the mem in DIMM 3 and not DIMM 1, so i moved the memory back over to DIMM 3 and now the problem is gone. Just something for those of you with the same problem to try.
    Oh and i forgot one more issue, i cannot set the dram speed in the bios manually i have ddr 333 it should be 167 mhz so i set it to 4/5  and the system will not boot at all  i end up having to reset cmos.  I called MSI about that and they told me to just have it set to SPD , I said i know that and im fine with leaving it that way but it should let me set it manually if i wanted to and that i wondered if that had anything to do with the random " testing base and extended memory " problem.

    It was probably myt thread...
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=6204&boardid=10&styleid=1
    Have done some testing with both DDR333 and DDR400 and my results are in the thread.
    Right no I'm using my DDR400 as DDR333, manually set to 167MHz, using DIMM1, and havn't seen any problems. I'll try the DIMM3 to see if I get any changes.
    And by the way.. I tried setting my DDR400 manually to 200MHz and it wouldn't boot at all. After a lot of ugly language I finally got it back to the BIOS....after a reset of the CMOS.
    Seams like you should use SPD if you want to use the correct freq for your RAM.
    Have you tested the new 1.3 BIOS?

  • AGP 8X and Fastwrite with MX440 8X on 648 Max L

    Hi,
    I own the 648 Max L and I have just bought a MSI Geforce4 MX440 8X. I have SiS Agp drivers 1.15 installed and:
    1. AGP 8X does not work although I can "enable" it
    2. It says that the board does not support AGP Fastwrite but the graphic card does.
    Can I please have some feedback on these issues thank you.
    Razvan

    I take it you're seeing this with the AGPUtil?  I have found the same results with my mobo, but (and this is a but) I think it's just reading the info wrong.  ATI SmartGart lists AGP 8x and Fastwrites working, while agputil does not.  
    Also, if you read the info file that came with those drivers (if you got them from MSI), certain motherboards are not compatible with the newer AGP drivers, and thus use v1.12.  I've been looking for the AGPUtil that came with that version to double check, but haven't been able to find it.
    [Edited] Maybe someone who has either of the two boards with the newest AGP drivers can offer their results as well...

  • 648 Max L and 8x AGP

    Can anyone tell me to enable 8x agp setting with a

    I can't seem to find anything in the bios to change the setting. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

  • Help for SIS 648 MAX-L Startup Problem

    I just bought an MSI-648MAX-L, a 2.4GHz cpu and a Jaton GeForce4 TI4200 card. Installed all of the above + PC2700 512 MB RAM and a WD 80GB hard drive, floppy and CD. Turn on the power and my screen flickers all four of the diagnostic leds light up green and then nothing. I hear the hard drive spinning and the CPU fan and video card fan but nothing else. Tried one other AGP video card and a PCI video card but nothing on the screen. Seems like the BIOS is not loading. So I turn the computer off and set the BIOS reset jumper. Turn it back on again and still nothing. Checked all the connections, the seating of the CPU and tried again, still nothing. Any idea what might be wrong?? I hope I don't have to buy another MotherBoard and also I hate the idea of removing my CPU once installed. ;(
    Thanks for your help..
    Kumar.

    What kind of video card is it?
    If it's a radeon 9700 pro, look in one of the other threads  on this site to figure out what revision you have, rev 1.1 or 1.2 9700 pros will not work on some 648 max boards ( well for me it was 648 max L im not sure about the 648 max but im assuming it has the same problem.
    What happens with radeon is since the mobo sets the agp automatically, and there is the 8x bug the system doesnt boot. But the card will work fine on machines that have 4x, In this case RMA the card to radeon and make sure to specifiy that you get a 1.3 rev.
    Otherwise you stated you have tried other processors and memory that were "known" to be good.
    DDR 400 or DDR 333 memory?

  • MSI-6585 (648 MAX) instant restart issues questions pls help......

    Hi, i figured after months of specualation i would try to figure out what the hell is wrong with my pc.  12months ago a bought a MS-6585 648 MAX mobo and a P4 2.53ghz with 2x Samsung DDR 333 (PC2700) ram.  I play many games on my pc it seems when playing Counter-Strike + PlanetSide results in random instant restarts.  Occasionaly it will just hang the system but mainly instant reset of the system.  My cpu temp ranges from 35 48 max approx.  
    I've tried switching my ram to different slots and so on refit everything but with no luck.  I just have a very unreliable computer atm.  I've reformated plenty of times but with no joy, the odd thing is its random somtimes my pc will not crash or reset it self so this makes it very difficult to figure out what the hell is going on :S
    If you have more questions perhaps i can answer them - and give you more info that i have forgotten.
    Here are somethings that might be useful:
    MS-6585 648 MAX mobo
    Pentium 4 (northwood) 2,53ghz 533
    Samsung DDR 333 (PC2700)
    Gigabyte Maya II Radeon 9700Pro (running in agp 8x)
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum
    Bios settings: (things ive changed)
    Turned onboard sound off than auto
    AGP Apeture size  128
    I have 32bit transfer mode running for hdds
    I have S.M.A.R.T. enabled
    (next week end i will have another 512 ram stick to try just incase its my ram but i have done the intel ram checker and it didn't find any problems)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated pls ask any things ive missed and anything else u would need to know.  I really want to sort this out as you can imagine its not very nice having a pc that can randomly crash when u do not expect it.

    Overclocking is typically limited by one of 3 factors, assuming you have sufficient power:
    1. Memory won't operate past a certain speed, so you run at a different ratio or buy faster memory.
    2. Temperature, so you need to add non-stock cooling or better case ventilation or water cooling, depending on how far you want to go
    3. CPU - At some point the CPU won't run any faster.
    Leave the CPU voltage at Auto. You should only need to raise it if you get into extreme overclocking.
    As for the size of the power supply, if you stay with Intel Northwood with an ATX board on your next upgrade, an Enermax 465, Antec 480, or something similar (should cost around $80-100US) would get good choices. If you plan on going with a Prescott on an ATX board, I would look at going to a 550W supply.
    Personally, I thing the next 12 months is shaping up to be a real headache in making upgrade decisions in the Intel world. Intel have indicated their next generation of boards will be BTX without AGP support. This looks like an upgrade could mean new case, possibly power supply, video card and possibly ram. I am hoping that companies like MSI will produce a transitional product that allows new processors and chip sets on an atx board. If that doesn't happen I see a lot of people switching to AMD.

    Sorry a serious error occured
    Thanks in advance

    Well my roomate cancelled the memory test after 12 hours, so I dont know those results.
    I do know that after removing 1 of the DIMMS, the machine seemed to be stable playing games.
    I sure wish MSI would have stated it only accepted 1 double sided DIMM.. especially when the reccomend Kingston ram, which is double sided......
    Me and my roomate BOTH bought this motherboard, while my roomate only bought 2 DIMMS of 512, I bought 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So now it looks like we need to return these motherboards and get new ones... I HAVENT EVEN GOT MINE OUT THE BOX!!!!!!!!
    Any reccomendations on an MSI motherboard (or any) that support  double sided DIMMS? I am looking for 3 slots...
    thanks...
    Any other advise on how to get this motherboard to work with all this ram would help too, so we dont have to RMA through newegg....
    Anyone from MSI read this board?????

  • MSI FX5900 Ultra 256 MB and MSI 648 MAX

    I have just installed my new FX5900 Ultra graphics card and when ever the card runs any 3D application for more than a couple of minutes, my PC will instantly shut down. The only way I can get it back up, is to remove my power cable from the PSU and wait about 20 seconds and then the PC will boot again.
    I have checked the temperature of the card before and after the shutdown; and the latest Nvidia reference drivers show a GPU core temperature of 37 C. In addition, if I put my original GeForce 3 back into my computer, I experience no problems.
    Looking on the internet, I have come across other people who have had a similar problem and this was resolved by changing the AGP slot to run at 4x rather than 8x. I have gone through the 648 Max BIOS and am unable to find anywhere where I can step down to 4x AGP.
    Any Help Will Be Greatly Received.

    Thanks for your help guys. Whilst I have not been able to pick up my new powersupply, I have removed the Q-Tec 400W and put my old 300W PSU back, and guess what?? My PC has not shutdown since.
    This power supply lark is totally new to me, and it does seem that a good quality 300W PSU can be better than a average 400W. I have never looked at the 3.3, +5 and +12 before, just the total wattage. Well, you do live and learn. Though it would have been nice if MSI put information like this in the manual of the card, or the WEB FAQ's.
    I shall pick up my new 520W PSU on Saturday. Then I can put this new 5900 Ultra through its paces!!
    Thanks
    Macross.

  • MSI 648 MAX + 3Gb Memory

    Hi,
    I have put three GB of RAM in a PC containing a MSI 648 Max motherboard.
    The memory is 3 * PC2100 1GB of Samsung 266 DDR RAM.  I've ran memtest
    (http://www.memtest86.com) to test the chips to test the chips individually
    and in blocks of two.  The machine runs fine with up to 2GB, but fails
    when all three are in.
    I have two identical machines (and two sets of 3GB RAM), which exhibit the
    same problem, memtest failing at the same time.
    The machines run P4 2.4Ghz processors.
    Can you help?
    Thanks in advance

  • MSI 648 Max - Memory question

    Hello everyone,
    I have an old MSI 648 MAX MB for which I would like to do a RAM upgrade.
    I can get DDR400 RAM quite easily, but they are Apacer 512MB DDR400 modules, which do not appear under the list of supported RAM modules.
    Does anyone know if this RAM is supported, and if not at DDR400, can the BIOS settings be changed to allow it to run at DDR333?
    TIA

    Good day,
    Here is the specs of the PC:
    Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Northwood 2.40GHz
    Mainboard : MSI 648 Max (MSI MS-6585)

    Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter
    Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2
