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

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.

Problems with Mega 865 Pro

Hi,
I have a problem with the product Mega PC 865 For. Not risco to install the radio, when the asset tells me no mesa partition found '. what must I do?. Thanks.

Hi !!
To be on the safe side i changed my ram to one piece of corsair ram 512Mb and tested it. Everything works fine.
Managed to install Win 2003 server last night once... It ran for about 30 mins then the machine hang. It didn't restart.
When i try to install both xp or 2003 the machine reboots at the same place every single time. Installing devices. When it
switches from 35 to 34 mins it reboots.
Are there any newer bios than the one i have ver 1.0 !!?? I haven't found it anywhere. I have tested all peripherals inside
the machine in other comps and they work fine.
The thing i have noticed is that it runs very hot !! 58 degrees Celsius just idling in bios !! BTW when the machine is idling
either on a boot floppy in dos or in bios it runs for hours. My conclusion is either the machine overheats in install mode or
some device in the machine (mobo) is faulty. But that seems far fetched too due to one succesful install of win 2003 server.
I use the heatsink that came with the 865 Pro what heatsink do you guys use !!??

Help with Mega PC build

This is my first time to build a PC and its been SUCH a headache.
I purchased the MEGA barebones pc with the P4 socket. I bought everything new (except the TV Card) and put it together. So far... really easy. The CD I received didn't work, so I just found this website and used the auto-updaters for everything. I installed MCE 2005 but I get the same error as some people on here (video card not supported) when I launch Media Center, and then a display error when I try to launch live TV....
Now, I'm not sure which Mega PC I purchased... its the orange one so I'm assuming the 651. Now, I don't know a whole lot about this. Is the VGA card SiS? I've read in two places to use NVidea drivers... and that it could be because the card isn't DirectX9... and that its because SiS doesn't make MCE compatible drivers... and... and... and...
Does it ACTUALLY mean the video card isn't supported? Or is it talking about the tuner card? My other Media Center PC (HP) said the same thing when I installed the new tuner card and all I had to do was update the drivers for it.
Because of the problems, I uninstalled everything and downloaded the drivers for the video card, sound, and ethernet directly from the manufacturer's sites... but MCE still doesn't work.
In the CMOS I changed the video to 64MB (as referenced in yet another thread) and that didn't seem to make any difference. When I run the Media Center Diagnostics Tool the only place where I'm told my system doesn't pass is Adapter DXVA Deinterlacing. Where can I get this? I downloaded DirectX 9.0 from the Microsoft website and the Diagnostic Tool says that is the version I have, but if the VGA card doesn't support it, would the tool still tell me I have it?
help :-(
Mega PC 651
512 DDR RAM
80 GB HD
P4 1600

you have a Mega 651. the onboard SiS VGA is NOT MCE2005 compatible, so you will need to buy a new AGP VGA card that is. nvidia drivers only work on nvidia graphics chipsets. i had the same problem before when i had a Mega 651, in fact i mentioned this in my "Things to know about Mega 651 sticky", so i fitted a FX5200 with integrated TV-out and it worked a treat.
you don't say what TV card you have but if it is the Mega TV Tuner or TV@nywhere Master, then I'm afraid neither of those is MCE compatible either.
you will need either a analogue tv card with hardware MPEG2 encoder (such as Hauppage PVR series) or a digital DVB-T card which doesn't need a hardware MPEG encoder, as the stream is already in MPEG2 format.
i noticed that MSI have launched two new TV cards (see the sticky in the TV@nywhere forum), but i'm afraid i don't know much else about them.
hope this helps you!

Mega 865 and NAthans Girder Plugin

Anyone got Nathan's Girder Plugin to work with the Mega 865?
Nathans plugin crashes girder and even his msiKeys program. they just do 99% all the time.
I suspect it might be a dll version problem, maybe even a c++ runtime library.
if you have girder working with mega 865 please post and let me know what versions of MSIDrvIF.dll & ForMpc.dll you have

yeah, I did drop him an email and he said he was too busy.... the source is avaliable, but I ran into problems attempting to compile.
I didnt realise there was different versions of Mega 865.
I've actually got a feeling the problem might be with a C++ dll version. when I look in system manager control folder, it has the MSIDrvIF.dll & ForMpc.dll file as well as a C++ dll. (cant remeber the name and Im at work so will have to wait till im home.)
the C++ dll in windows System32 folder is different from the one in the SMC folder. I tried to replace the C++ dll with the once from the SMC folder, but it is in use by windows.
I will have to try and boot into command promot and overwrite it sometime. will keep people posted.

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

Prospective Mega 865 buyer with a few questions...

I'm looking into upgrading my Home PC, and I really like the small form factor of the Mega 865. My main goal is to have a very quite computer (my current PC has a noisy Maxtor hard drive), and the small form factor is a real plus. Here are a few questions:
1) How quiet is the Mega 865? Is the power supply fan very quiet?
2) If I use a Northwood 3.0 GHz CPU, do I need to buy a standard cooling fan or does the Mega 865 have it's own CPU cooling fan system? If so, how quiet is this fan?
3) What's the highest screen resolution that the Integrated 865G Video can output in True Color?
4) Can I fill one of the two memory slots with a single 512 MB module, or do I need to fill both slots with a module?
If anyone can help answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Any other comments would also be appreciated!
Thanks,
ppcinfo

i don't have a mega 865 personally, but i'll try and answer what i can.
1) the mega 651 was very quiet under normal loads, you'd only hear the cpu fan whirr faster when the cpu was getting hot. i imagine its the same on other megas.
2) all the megas come with their own custom designed heatsink and fan, i doubt you'd get anything else to fit. BTW the northwood is probably a better bet than the prescott, as they don't run as hot
3) i don't know about the mega 865, but i recently built a PC for my mom, based on the Aopen XCCube EY65, which uses the same intel 865g chipset as in the mega 865 (only doesn't support any prescott cpus ). it runs on her 18.1" tft in 1280x1024 in truecolour mode, but only allows for a max of 16mb shared VGA memory. as she don't play games (she's an architectural glazing designer, using AutoCAD) thats fine for her.
4) you can just use one stick of RAM if you want, but stick to some good stuff, cheaper generic RAM usually causes problems on MSI mobos
thats my tuppence worth, can any mega 865 users clarify anything for us?

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...

MOVED: Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

AFAIK, you shouldn't need a pinmod for a Mobile Athlon XP CPU to work in a nforce2 mobo
did you have any other CPU installed prior to this one? if so, refer here to clear the CMOS: Clear CMOS Guide
next, refer to your manual, or download from MSI, for location of the FSB jumpers; ensure J8 is shorted across pins 1-2, and J7 is shorted
finally, enter your BIOS setup menu, and under Advanced Chipset Features, set CPU FSB to 133mhz (or even 166mhz if you have DDR333 memory). the only thing i can't see in the Mega 180 manual is where you set the multiplier...
which is where the BIOS has limited overclocking features, and you might have a problem here
i think i'll pass this over to the Overclockers forum, where someone may be able to give a better answer....

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 Deluxe with MSI DR8-A 8x8 DVD±R/±RW Writer

Hi everyone,
I am just about to put this box together, please advice..
Heard any compatibility issue on this one? IE, ejecting problems or loosing functionality in PC or HIFI mode? or any issues at all....
MEGA 865 Deluxe with MSI DR8-A 8x8 DVD±R/±RW Writer
It will be a bummer if I go put this together and it doesnt work properly. That will be money down the tube.
Thanx.

I have the same box and optical device. I have yet to get an audio CD to play completely through in HiFi mode. It will play for 3 to five minutes and then quits, LCD reads No Disk. I can get it to start up again with no problems but it only plays a few minutes at a time. It works fine in PC mode both in playing Audio CD's and DVDs so I am guessing that my problem lies in Hi Fi circuitry/or wires. I believe you should be able to use the 865 in Hi Fi mode without O/S, Memory, or even a CPU. Good luck.

I need help Mega 865 pro still restart by itself

I bought Mega 865 pro last month. I already have install XP pro (very hard to install). In during install It's restart many time and then Mega865 pro do reinstall and complete by itself. I'm wordering because I think It can install so I shut down it. However, in the morning of the next day I try to re-open windows XP, so It can startup. However, I didn't install Instanton program, just driver install. Also, Windows still restart by itself. I'm no idea what the exactly I must do or I need to flash Bios for P4/3.0 GHz 800M LGA775/2M FSB 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 EM64T please!!! Help me...How must I do? .... see below my stuff.
PS. How do the flash Bios? please explain me .
Mega PC 865 Pro P4 Home
CPU: P4/3.0 GHz 800M LGA775/2M FSB 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 EM64T
HD 160GB Seagate SATA
NEC 16X DVD-RW
RAM : Corsair VS1GB DDR400 PC 3200
VGA card: MSI RX9600Pro-TD 128 Radeon AGP 8X
Monitor: Fujiplus 19"

flashing BIOS is only dangerous if you go blundering in without knowing what you are doing. you know you need to update the BIOS, as long as you read all relevant advices first, then you should have no problems!
basically you need to copy the BIOS image fie from your CD to a RAMdrive created in memory by a Windows 98SE bootdisk. that avoids the risk of bad floppy or CD read errors. you can find bootdisk images here: www.bootdisk.com
