HELP! My new Mega 865 Problem

Hi, It would be great if anyone can help me with this:
I am using MEGA 865 + P4 Prescott 3.2E + XP SP2. When I browse internet or browse my computer, the windows always close down. And I found some infomation in the XP Event viewer with event ID 1002. (The shell was stopped and then restarted. By default, the shell is explorer.exe).
It seems like explorer.exe restarted.
Thank you for your help!

And sometimes the pc reboot
aah, now you tell us
right-click on My Computer, then navigate through Properties > Advanced > System Startup & Recovery, Settings > System Failure, untick Automatically restart. now next time your PC "reboot", it will show the STOP screen instead (also Known as the BSOD - "Blue Screen Of Death")
post any error message it shows, any device driver failures, and any STOP error codes it displays
as for your P4 3.2 prescott, i have seen a couple of users with 3.2s, maybe if SilenTYL drops through he might be able to confirm, as he also is running a 3.2ghz, but maybe not a prescott
though if the CPU is detected at startup by BIOS correctly, then that may not be the issue, but the issue of overheating could be, or even bad memory...

  • New Mega 865 Problems

    Really need some help here, something is going horribly wrong.
    Right heres the spec:
    Brand new Mega 865 Deluxe version
    a 512MB module of Geil PC3500 Golden Dragon Ram
    P4 3Ghz Northwood 800FSB
    Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti4600
    Western Digital IDE 8MB Cache 160Gig Hard Drive: set to Master
    Nec 8x DVD Double Layer Dual R/RW IDE BLACK Burner OEM: set to Master
    I'm trying to install Windows XP Home onto it, I have two legit versions, one with SP1 and one with SP2 and neither of which are working correctly.
    The version with only SP1 on it says the partition on the harddrive isn't XP compatible please delete and create a new one (so I do) when I do this I get same message over and over again, never ending cycyle.
    The version with SP2 installs only to hard drive fine after a full NTFS format but it gets to the stage where it restarts your PC at the end of the installation where it stays in dos. What it should do is load up into the GUI final part of the installation, it doesn't get this far. Instead i get the message "Disk bot failure, insert system disk and press enter."
    As for updating the bios, the whole process seemed really complecated when you can't get into windows to do it through MSI's utility and don't have a floppy disk drive because you have the deluxe version. Also I'm not even sure I can update the bios without windows even installed, I made an emulated boot cd with the dos flashing utility and new beta bios on but that isn't working either.
    I have tried changing around jumper settings and bios settings including boot device prioritys etc but it's not getting me anywhere. I had heard good things about this shuttle and don't really want to have to return it but this forum is pretty much my last resort.
    Any help apprechiated, thanks.

    I guess rkoppen is right (although I've never dealt with XP home edit, and in my "vanilla" XP pro setup the card reader did not interfere)
    On previous OS-es supporting NTFS there always was a chance to select additional 'stroage" devices where to install the system into.
    Other thought - when setup proposes to delete/reformat existing partitions, it usually shows the available size (at least that is/was so with NT4 and Win2k, and XP Pro) Is the indicated size anywhere in the neighborhood of the HDD capacity you have? (probably not, if you try to "reformat" an empty card reader )

  • Help! Mega 865 problems

    Hi, maybe someone here can help me with a problem that's developed on my Mega 865 with P4 3.0Ghz (Northwood).
    Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago.
    I had WinXP pro installed and it was okay except for a minor (but weird) problem. I would try to shut off the computer but it would never completely shutdown. It would shut down then immeduately restart. It wasn't a problem since the computer was on most of the time anyway.
    The bigger problem comes after installing the utilities on the Mega 865 drivers disk (Mega theater, pc-alert, etc). The entire computer started to slow down, so I restarted the computer and it powers up again, but all I get is one long beep. Nothing else. Nothing on screen, just a beep that goes on until I hold the power button to shut it off again.
    Any ideas? TIA

    Thanks for the advice. I agree with you, everything seemed to be working fine until I decided to install the PC-Alert and MSI theater from the install disk (DUMB IDEA!!!!!). My problem now though is that I can't even get my computer to boot to uninstall the programs or ever reformat and reinstall Windows :(
    Anyway ideas? Is there a jumber for resetting the bios? I'm trying to get a new P4 chip or another motherboard to see if the Mega 865 + PC-Alert combination fried my chip, after that I can only think of getting an RMA as a solution.

  • MEGA 865 Problems with XP install....HELP!!

    Hi guys, i just bought a MEGA 865 Deluxe and I can't install Windows XP (Sp1)...i have reached the point where i am seriously considering throwing it out of the window (after 4 hours of troubleshooting!!!).
    Specs are: P4 3.0
    Crucial 1gb DDR400
    Maxtor DiamondPlus 9 SATA 160Gb
    Sony DW-G120A Dvd-rw
    Bios v1.3
    Ok what happens is that during startup it will identify both HD and DVD...it will start reading the Windows CD, but then stop and try to boot from other sources. The DVD-rw works fine in Hi-Fi mode. I tried using another old CD-ROM i have with no luck. I took out the Maxtor and used my IDE seagate from my other PC...again nothing (btw the XP CD works...tried it in another pc). I have toyed around with all possible combinations in the BIOS...manually resetted to defaults...tried all different combinations for the DVD settings (SL,MA etc)...even moved the DVD to the Primary IDE cable...and still nothing. Searched in this forum, and tried some tips...like Disabling USBs, Changing the SATA to Legacy and so on...and still...guessed right... NOTHING!!
    I am pretty desperate for some advice. Any tips to try are welcome, before i start sending stuff back for refund.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yeap...i guess you were right kane81. The CD wasn't bootable...since then i obtained a newer XP version that is bootable but guess what my luck had in store. I fired up the pc as usual, and i got a message on the monitor 'no signal'...?? Tried with another monitor...played with the cable in case it wasnt put in good. Nothing. black screen. It seems like the hard disc is working, but i get nothing on the screen. Also in order to turn it off, it doesn't respond anymore to the 'PC' button....need to pull off the plug. It's like the BIOS has been erased or something. Any ideas? Faulty M/board? Should i send it back and get replacement?
    From all machines i ever had, the 865 is the best looking one. I am dissapointed all i could do since i bought it is listening to radio

  • Help! new Mega 180 suddenly died!

    Can anyone out there help?
    brand new mega 180 working perfectly - set up to stream music to hifi system working perfectly, then moved to another room hangs on bios!
    couldn't access bios
    cleared Cmos  - got message "checksum error" & was able to access bios - loaded default setting, rebooted all I can get now is MSI post screen can't access bios at all
    I have re-cleared Cmos, changed ram - no difference
    can anyone offer any advice?
    Cheers
    Daveh

    if it was all working perfectly before you moved it, then something must have somehow come loose when you moved it
    try removing all added components (CPU, memory, etc) and disconnecting all cables, then refitting and reseat cables, see if it will come back to life

  • Help! New 5th gen problem with Software version 1.2.3!

    Just when you thought you havn't heard about enough problems with the new ipod software here comes a weird one. My Ipod still plays songs and the usual stuff. But the timer at the bottom of the screen that tells you how far you are into the song gets off track, slows down, and eventually starts ticking 3 seconds per 1 real second. And ill start hereing glitches and pauses in the music. And its every song it happens. Thanks for the help!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem. I upgraded my 30G to 1.2.2, and everything looked fine. However, when I disconnected my iPod there were no music or video files showing. But the hard drive space showing as Available under Settings>About>Available indicates that the hard rive space for my muic and videos is still being used. I read a lot of posts about 1.2.2 problems and 7.5 upgrade for iTunes being the fix. I would go to the Help tab in iTunes and tell it to check for upgrade, and it would tell me that 7.5 was avialable. I would click yes to download but nothing happened. I tried this many times, with my iPod connected, not connected, rebooting, etc, it was enough to go insane.
    Here is how I solved it. I went to: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    and downloaded the entire iTunes 7.5 instead of the upgrade. After it installed itself, I rebooted, opened iTunes, and connected my iPod, it synced and now it is back to normal. Beware, if you try resetting your iPod, it warns that it will erase the contents of your iPod hard drive.
    I have windows XP, hp laptop, and a 5th gen 30G.
    Hope that helps solve your problem.

    seems that the card reader wouldn't read SD cards, but was ok with MMC. i have replaced her combo drive with another Mitsumi one, and now both SD and MMC cards work fine. gonna try the faulty combo drive in my computer later, but i suspect it is a faulty card reader
    EDIT: looks like i jumped the gun a bit - mum says the new drive is now doing the same thing  trying her old one in this computer and so far all looks ok.
    BTW her XC Cube is the EY65, which - like the Mega 865 - uses the Intel 865g chipset
    does anyone have any suggestions for us? it cannot be a conflict between the OEI-USB card reader devices and the intel 865g chipset, otherwise every mega user would have seen this....

  • MEGA 865 Big Display problem

    Hi,
    i get my new MEGA 865 last Week, but i have a big Problem with it, every time i unplug and plug the Power Cable, the Display on the front is off.
    The only way to bring the Display back to live is to unplug and plug the Display Cable inside the Barebone from the mainboard. This cant be right, does everyone have the same Problem ??????
    Please write, if you have the same problem or not.
    Thanks

    The information came from MSI Tech support.
    I also cannot believe that they sell a Multimedia PC with the MSI Media Suite package that just doesn't work. Any updates? No. Nothing. The MSI Media Suite is meant to be one of the reasons for it costing more than the other MEGA's.
    Generally as a rule, I hardly ever install anything from the manufacturers CD supplied with a system. Half the time they are just rubbish apps/utils that I hardly use. I don't really care what speed my Processor/FSB is running at - it's running and it is not below its spec, that's fine by me. My first stop is always the web site for the most current drivers and utils that are necessary.
    Obviously PC Alert4 is proving the exception here. It seems to me (I have no confirmation) that PC Alert as supplied on the CD, has API's / DLL's added to take care of the LCD display, and these have not been checked/thought of in a subsequent "standard" version.
    I am also interested in seeing how I could control / program the LCD display. I seem to remember someone saying that WinXP Media Center can also change the LCD Display, this hints at either a special driver or an API in XP to get to its settings. I'll try dig a little deeper when I have a spare moment unless anyone already knows the answer.

  • Building mega 865 pro pc...

    hey..
    i've just bought my brand new mega 865 pro and havn't got a clue what to put inside it..
    i think i'll go for the pentium 4 3.0ghz.. but after that, i'm not sure what is compatible with it..
    need 512mb ram.. basic stuff (what's compatible??)
    don't need a gfx card or sound card..
    would need about a 200gig hd.. (should i get SATA?.. what's the difference?)
    my biggest worry is the dvd-rw and tv card as i heard many are not compatible...
    i would like a basic tv card that can take advantage of all of the built in msi features.. can anybody recommend one?
    thanks,
    all help appreciated,
    scrappy.

    you can't use high density ram in the 865 PRO - it wont boot.
    SATA is the way of the future, might as well go for it. the only real difference at this stage is that the SATA cable is smaller, thinner and better for air flow. (I removed my extra IDE cable as I'm using SATA)
    You shouldnt have any problems with DVD-RW.
    As for the TV card, go digital. forget the MSI TV card that works with the 865  it only does analog. Forget about instant on too. its crap, just use hibernate or S3 standby, it will turn your pc on just as fast.   

  • Mega 865 probs with 3.3v ...

    uhm well ive got a brand new mega 865 and i thought kewl :P i mean it looks sweet and i like the hifi stuff etc etc
    well so i started it up and the first day was fine.. second day it suddenly shutdown and stuff.. wel after taking out the power cable and leaving the pc for a while, it worked again and when i looked @ pcalert4 it said that my 3.3v was getting up to 3.9v etc.. and thats the reason why it was crashing..
    now my question is obviously how do i stop ik crashing..
    - is it because the power supply is 2 weak? (i dont think so seeing that msi delivers the power supply with the mega barebone)
    - is it the psu ? coz i read about some1 having the same problem with the 3.3v and a mega barebone...
    anyway my pc specs are:
    p4 3.2ghz
    2x 512ddr corsair
    6800 LE
    winxp sp1
    thats the most important i think

    If your system is hanging while you are running, turn off PC Alert.  
     PC Alert Abuse:stop:
    In fact, disable PC Alert so it dosen't launch when your system boots.  It causes a momentary pause while it is refreshing the system information.  It's fairly noticable, especially if you are gaming, or writing a document.

  • Mega 865 No Boot!

    Brand new Mega 865, BIOS 1.1, SATA HDD, 1GB RAM, booted fine, installed Win XP Pro, tried to update the bios, it wouldn't work. It kept saying that it couldn't verify the image or veryify the file or something (sorry...a bit vague I know).
    So I quit out of that process (Latest version of Live Upadate) and tried to restart the machine to see if anything in the BIOS was causing it to fail (write protect or anything).
    When I boot now, I don't get anything on the screen and I get a series of beeps.
    First of all I get a long beep followed by two short beeps in sucession.
    Then there is a break of about ten seconds and there are two beeps back to back in a much lower tone.
    Nothing I press seems to do anything, and I've tried resetting the CMOS on the mother board.
    Any help would be apprecaited.
    Thanks
    Warren

    I suppose there have been enough accounts about dead mobos due to Live Update failures, for MSI to take a notice of that...
    On my other "big" system (which has Gigabyte mobo) there is some sort of "dual BIOS" thing, meaning that system has a chance to recover if the "live update" goes wrong...

  • Help with MEGA 865 PC

    Hi, this is my problem:
    I have a Msi Mega 865 Deluxe barebone pc , i also have a Tv tuner card for mega pc ( TV @nyware ) . I have lost the cable that connects the front panel LCD remote control to the Tv tuner card remote input.  I need to build a new cable but i don't know the correct position of the pin. I see on the front panel LCD that the first o three pin is numebered PIN1 and the last PIN3 . Also, on the Tv tuner card the pin ( of the remote control input connector ) is numbered from PIN1 to PIN3. The Pin1 on the LCD correspond on the Pin1 on the TV card ? Pin2 -> Pin2 and Pin3 -> Pin3? or the configuration is different?
    Please help me!!!
    Thancks !!

  • Help with mega 865 pro and maxtor sata 6L300S0

    i have a mega 865 pro i just install a new HDD model maxtor sata 6L300S0 300 GB and it is very slow on the mega i contact maxtor and they say i have to verify if i have correct SATA driver installed. but everything looks ok on the system. where i can download that driver again? any one can help me?
    What im doing wrong?

    I'm having the same problem with my Mega 865 pro and my Maxtor 6l200mo (200gb).
    Seems to boot up fine, dosn't take any longer to load up startup items than my old system. Though using pretty much any program results in the system pausing and stuttering for a few seconds. I have noticed it most recenltly when watching video files (mpeg/divx). While i'm watching a video, it will keep pausing at random times.....sometimes every 5 seconds....sometimes every 5 mintues. It does the same when i'm not connected to the internet too, and does the same if I am simply playing mp3s or just on the internet! When it seems to do it most is like now! I have an mpeg playing (300mb) in a window, and while I am browsing the internet and even typing this post, it is pausing for a few seconds which is really frustrating! My old system was pretty similar spec to my current Msi system, though it wasn't a barebones system and was slighty lower spec. That worked flawlessly doing the same tasks so my guess is it must be an Ata problem. Another Mega865 gripe that is bugging me!
    Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers!
    P.s My hd Tach results were pretty much the same as centarlrocks
