Help with 645 Ultra-C

ok i decided to update my system so i got the 645 ultra-c with a P4 2.2. i hooked everything up and its been working ok but i get the error stating (XXXXX) referenced memory at (XXXXXX) could not be read. now i get that error whenever i play games. i have the geforce 4 mx 420 and all the updated drivers for it. i never had any problems with it before so i dont think its the graphics card. the only other new item i added to my system was a stick of ddr 256 pc 2100 ram that i got cheap of the net. so im thinking i got bad memory because ive flashed my bios updating everything and thats the only solution i have left. any ideas???
thanks

ok ran the test for about 2 hours had like 5000 errors so im assuming i got bad memory thanks for the help. tip for others dont buy cheap ram off the net lol.

Help requested with 645 Ultra-C with a PCI ATA/133 card fitted

I'm new here, so please bear with me if this plea for help is short of info :-
I built my PC 5 years ago, using a 645 Ultra-C board ( MS-6547 2.00 ) and have had no problems since - till now.
I recently installed a PCI ATA/133 card, mainly to be able to add 2 additional hard drives. It installed ok and the 2 extra drives are recognised correctly on the card's primary channel as is a DVD device on the secondary channel.
However, on initial booting, the card is interrogated to determine what devices are connected to it and then there is a delay of up to 2 minutes ( it feels like forever ) while BootMagic is being searched for/loaded.
It makes no difference if I swap the 2 drives and the dvd over or remove the dvd drive.
The bios ( AMI 07.00T 12/20/01 ) is correctly setup to boot from floppy first, then HDD1 ( connected to the mainboard's primary channel) and 'try other boot devices' is disabled.
I have no wish to boot from the extra drives, so is there any way of avoiding the boot system from looking there first ? Is there any other bios settings to consider ?
I'd be grateful for any hints/help.
Thanks.

Yes,
Go into bios and set boot sequence
Also go into pci controller bios, and set no boot
It's usually CRTL+A or CRTL+M keys on keyboard............
Controller cards will be main boot target, unless told
I have got the boot sequence set correctly - but I can see no sign of a pci controller bios option. Cntrl A or Cntrl M have no effect. Maybe the 645 bios doesnt offer those options.
I have never updated the bios - being of the 'if it aint broke dont change it' school of thought, so I may need to look at this area, now.
I'll be posting a question here about live update very soon - basically 'is it the best way to update the bios ?'
Thanks for your help so far

P4 533 with 645 ultra-c

just got p4 2.4 533 also msi 645 ultra-c. I read on the msi website that the mother board only supports up to 400 fsb. So I rang the shop up and they said that they always supply that combination and it will be fine. So my question is will it be fine and if not, what problems will I encounter. As far as I can see its very fast but Ive been used to a Pentium 200 for 3 years so anything is fast compared to that. Also Ive used Sisoft Sandra 2002 and that shows that it is a flying machine but it also says that I need to reduce my fsb. So any suggestions, should I upgrade my motherboard or downgraded to a p4 2.4 400. Please help, Im getting worried ?(

645 Chipset is not officialy validated for 133MHz FSB only for 100MHz FSB. This is the main difference between 645 and 645DX chipset. At 133MHz PCI is 33MHz and AGP 66MHz. They are not overclocked. I use 645 Ultra with a P4 2,80GHz (133MHz FSB) for two months now with no problem at all. If PCI and AGP were overclocked almost all Hard disks and somae gfx cards should die after one week usage.

Help with KT4 Ultra and 5.1 surround

Hi there
Ok I am new to this PC building game and have to be honest I don't know all the technical jargon so if anyone can help, please speak in good old common English, I is a bit slow on the uptake.
The problem:
I have built a PC for the old man using the KT4 Ultra MS-6590 motherboard. It came with a two additional brackets, a blue tooth USB thingy, a 5.1 bracket and MSIDVD5.1ch DVD. Both brackets take up a PCI space but plug direct into the motherboard not the pci slot (you probably already know this).
Now i haven't installed these as I was unsure how to use them. The 5.1 adapter/bracket only has a two speaker jacks, and these run two types of speakers (which ones I can't remember right now). So if I was to pug it in, where do all the other speakers plug in to the system and am I supposed to buy a set of 5.1 speakers that are especially designed to use this type of jack configuration? Any recommendations on speaker packages are very welcome. I also take it that the DVD that came with it will help me set everything up yeh? I haven't tried it as I didn't install the bracket.
Ok next up, this Bluetooth bracket thing? So what's that all about? If I plug it in, will it give me bluetooth support or do I need to buy something else to make that work? Personally I would be surprised if I plugged it in and it worked.
Now if you are wondering what brackets I am talking about, you can see them here on the MSI site under the Socket A motherboard section, there are images right at the bottom.
Cheers for any help you can give, like I say, I am new to all this and I guess we all have to learn somewhere right? So please go easy on me.
Cheers Jordy

Cheers for that,
I read the KT4 unofficial Fact and got a little confused with what it was saying about bluetooth. I take it that it is in fact not bluetooth and just two extra USB ports? I could be wrong, like I say I get confused with all this techno babble.
Ok so when I installed the drivers and everything else for the motherboard, was c-media mixer installed with it, or is it on the MSIDVD5.1ch DVD?
That seem's easy enough to follow though cheers.
do you recommend any particualar speaker systems to make connection simple and easy? If you think I am dim, you should see the old man navigate the net (crap he is bound to read this).
Cheers for your help and anymore light you can shed on the bluetooth bracket.
Cheers again Jordy 8)

Interesting Problems/Solutions with 645 Ultra V1.0

Hi All, I just wanted to share some of my experiences with the older 6457 Ultra V1.0 MB.
I've had one of these since last Sepetember, and I've been trying to get it stable ever since and only just succeded. Oh, as a side note, everything is being clocked as it should be, no OC'ing here, I'm after stability. Okay, system spec:
MSI 6457 Ultra V1.0 bios 1.3, 1.6,1.7, 1.8 but mostly and currently 1.9
Intel P4 2.0Ghz 400 FSB Stock HS and fan
1 X 256 333 DDR Ram (Generic 2.5 CAS)
2X Maxtor hard disks 20 and 30 Gig ATA 100 (Primary master and slave)
Liteon DVD CDRW dirve (secondary master)
Netgear FA311 NIC
Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum
Creative Geforce 3 Ti200
Chieftec 350W PSU v+3.3=28 v+5=30 (may be other way round, I'm at work right now and can't check)
XP Pro
Problems I've had :
Nvidia drivers (Creative or Nvidia any version since September 2002) result in the system booting very slowly (3- 5 mins instead of 50 secs) and quite often just rebooting once the windows UI appears, just after log on. Kept getting the infamous "nv_disp.dll" error report from XP.
The solution to this was to run the memory at 266 rather than the rated 333.
A side effect of this problem was that sometimes (not always) the system would drop to 10% of its usual speed. Once this had happened there was no speeding it up again. Sandra clocks the MEM bandwidth when this happens at 220MB instead of the usual 2200MB. A symptom that this has happened is that when the XP logo first appears at boot up it fades in very slowly instead of it's usual snappy fade in.
The solution to this was to jumper the CMOS clear and reset up the BIOS.
Alternately you can format the system and rebuild it, but nothing else seems to return the system to full speed. Only a CMOS reset or a rebuild of the OS.
These solutions are only tested on the current 1.9 Bios. I have no idea if they'll work on earlier or hacked versions.
In order to find these solutions, it's taken a lot of blood sweat and tears, not to mention reading all 1600 posts about problems with Ultra's.
I hope the solutions presented here can save someone else the frustration I've had just trying to get this thing stable enough to play games on.
I must also add that these solutions may not work for you, I went through hundreds of Bios settings tweaks and fiddles trying to remedy these problems and none worked bar the ones mentioned.
I suspect that the RAM in this system may be the cause of all the problems, but I am unable to get hold of any other 333 Ram to try.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get this to run its memory at 333 (which is what it physically is and should run at) without buying more RAM (been unemployed for six months and only have 2 weeks work now!) and be stable with Nvidia drivers, I'd be delighted to hear them. I'd also like to hear from others who've suffered similar problems, as I could do with the moral boost of knowing I'm not alone :-)
As a side note, this setup does run very nicely with the Ram at 266 and Bios 1.9. It now seems very stable which is a breath of fresh air.
Sorry for the long post, but it's alot of information to impart. Hopefully, it'll save someone else from tearing all their hair out.

had sim prog fix them... :P
what to do...
bios v1.9 (update)
[support new chips etc
update agp drives (SiS AGP Drivers v7.2.0.1130 )
[fix some usb /video card problems ]
set agp apeture (in bios) to 128mb
set ram (assuming 333ddr) 2.5 / normal / normal
most generic ram (my is first modual is 2.5 -3-3)
set irq settings to auto(non auto setting will cause random (equal to or less than blue screen of death)
(move sound card (if not using on board disable games port and sound) to pci slot (3) [3rd from the bottom of moatherboard]
- this provides no conflict with video card.
-set irq for vga = on
use xp pro
user service pack 1
run 3dmark2001se for 3 hours (should not crash)
if you think it your ram download a ram tester software(free) (and put on on a floppy disk) this will test you ram.
if useing a network card put it in slot 5 (fifth from the bottom)
p.s. also check (in bios health ) power supply problems
eg rails 3.3v should be no lower than 3.2xx
5v should be no lower than 4.87x
12v should no be lower than 11.70v
because i had a bad power supply (3.3v was 3.02v and 12v wat 11.2v (from time to time hard disk drive would power on/off then on....)
3.3v is for vide cards /pci slots /ram voltage etc..
12v for hard disk drive/cdroms etc...
5v for logic board on harddiskdrives etc...

Help with the MSI 645 Ultra!

I've got a very frusturating problem. I just bought the MSI 645 ultra mobo to upgrade my system, along with a brand new P4 2.0 GHZ processor and 512 mb DDR ram to go onto the board. My problem is as follows: The computer is not booting up. No OS, no BIOS, no nothing. When I turn the power on and hit the switch, all the hardware in the case starts up and sounds fine... but the screen remains blank. All four lights on the little diagnostic tool/usb port thingy that came with the board stay red, which, according to the manual, indicates a problem with the processor.
The processor is either bad (highly unlikely with it being an Intel chip) or for some reason its not working with the mobo. So, heres my question: Does an Intel P4 2.0 GHZ Northwood processor work with the MSI 645 Ultra?
Under the list of supported speeds, 2.0 ghz is not listed ?( . Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

645 Ultra not booting with new GeforceFX5200

Thanks ahead of time for all the help.. I'm really just a newbie computer guy with a frustrating problem. Before last week I was running my system with a Geforce2MX with no problems. At one point I had to flash the motherboard because it didn't recognize my hard drives, but the video card was fine. I bought Deus Ex Invisible war, and found out I had to update my video card. So I purchased an Albatron Gigi GeforceFX5200E. After removing my old video card and inserting the new one, my computer would not boot. The power would turn on, but the Monitor does not. The D-Bracket says it is hanging on "Initializing Video Interface", so I had my friend test out the video card, with the results being it works perfect. So I am at my wits end... I have the new AGP drivers... the motherboard is updated... I know the card works. I have read about messing with the voltage or somthing, but I don't know how or what to set things at. Please help!!!
My specs:
MSI 645 Ultra Motherboard (flashed to latest version)
Celeron 2.4ghz processor
512mb RAM
CWT 350w Power Supply:
3.3v - 20a
5v - 35a
12v - 15a
Soundblaster Live! Value
Memorex CDR/W drive
56k Modem
2 WD Hard Drives (80/30gigs)
Fan Control Unit w/ 4 Fans
I hope thats enough info. I'm very close to just ditching the motherboard for somthing else, its been giving me so many problems. Thanks again.....

What would you all recommend for a new power supply? What should I look for? Somthing relatively inexpensive (starving musician here) that gets the job done would be great.
Also, I flashed the motherboard before buying the new troublesome videocard, because my motherboard wasn't recognizing my two WD hard drives I purchased, but it was working fine with these small older hard drives. Weird stuff... other then that though the motherboard has been good... especially if this video card stuff is simply a power issue. Thanks again guys.

MSI 645 ultra xp / 2000 problem please help.

I've got 3 MSI 645 ultra mobos. I've tried every thing i can think off to get xp installed and working. I don't get as far as formating the hard disk in the setup. I relpaced the power supply with a qtec 550 watt power supply (the gold one). i've flashed the bios to 1.9, i've used different hardisks and cables. I've checked the memory PC2100 and 2700. It's a pentium 4 1.5, I've tried a 2g in it as well. I'm using an ATI radeon 7500 but have tried a s3 agp card. All the other components work fine in another machine but not on my 3 MSI boards.
Please help some one out there must have had the same problem. I'll buy the first person who fixes it cakes!!!

Hi,
I ran memtest 3.0 and there were no errors. it ran for 9 hours.
I am only using one hard disk at a time. it's set as a master on IDE1 and the CDrom is on IDE2 as a master. should I use cable select?? I also tried the hard disk and CD on ide2 and that did not work either.

MSI 645 Ultra - Bios Toasted! Need help

Greetings,
A year ago I attempted to flash my bios on my 645 ultra, but really screwed it up (I flashed from windows). Don't ask why I did that, apparently at the time I had a brain fart! hehe. So anyways, how do I revert to the original bios? Anyway to recover? When I power up the board, it doesnt even POST...
Am I screwed? ;(
Thanks for the assistance guys 8)

Best thing would be to have someone with an EEPROM programmer to burn it, or get a replacement from MSI.
A very risky trick, dont do this, if you do and screw EEPROM or a perfecly well working MOBO up dont blame me.
But sometimes someone has and old dont care MOBO and well your EEPROM is pretty useless so someone might try the BIOS swap trick (I warned everybody):
1. Get BIOS and programingsoftware
2. Find a PC working, turn it on boot on the DOS disc
3. Take the BIOS out - DO NOT shut down the power
(this is the dangerous part)
4. Put the wrongly programmed BIOS in the empty socket
(this is the extremely dangerous part
5. Program the BIOS
6. Turn of and put bios back in their right MOBO

Live BIOS Update method with a 645 Ultra-C board

I have a 645 Ultra-C motherboard which has been running fine since installation some years ago.
The bios has never been updated but I may now need to (see my other request for help here in respect of fitting a pci ata controller card) my questions about Live BIOS are :-
Is Live BIOS the best way to update the bios on this board ?
Is there any way of preserving the existing BIOS in case things go wrong ?
Any help, advice, guidance would be much appreciated.
John
