_IDE problems_ with MSI 845PE Max + Win2k

Hi!
I hope somebody have an idea, because I'm out of tip.
I've been using XP, and I had no problem with IDE drivers. But now I decided to install Win2k instead of XP. I installed it, configured everything (VGA + Tuner + Audio ...), and everything looked fine.
But I noticed I have some problem with the Win2k's default IDE drivers, because if I listen to an MP3 and meanwhile I start to copy a big file from CD to HDD, the mp3 playing flickers audibly!!! :( So the mp3 slows down, and sometimes it pauses. And this is not the only symptom of the problem: my HDD is a bit slower than it was under XP (booting is too slow). However it's a quite fast HDD (WD 800BB). And another problem: during CD-writing the writing buffer always decreases to 10-20%, and then increases back to 95%, and again back to 10-20%. So it oscialltes. But under XP it was constantly 95%...
And then I remembered when I installed Intel Applicatin Accelerator under XP, the booting became much faster, and maybe it got faster after booting too.
So I installed IAA 2.2.2 which comes with the mainboard's CD. After install it asks for restart. I click Ok, it starts, and says need another restart, because Win finished installing new drivers. It's ok, restart. Now booting is much faster, everything looks ok, but before I could log in I got a sudden blue death because of "ntoskrnl.exe", and it complained about some memory problem. And next time Win didn't started. Hanged up at booting. :(
Ok, next install of Win2k. And everything is the same: Win2k is ok until I install IAA (I tried it with version 2.3 too, but the same...). So it always does blue death, and sais about memory things. (But memory must be ok, because I had XP before and I had no problem with memory, and I tested it with memtest86 too).
Please, if somebody have the same issue, or knows about any sollution, please tell me a tip what to do! Some kind of another IDE driver for me, or should I configure something else???
I hope somebody helps!
Thx,
Dexx

[
Don't install the IAA, install the intel inf and in the IDE controller's properties enable "DMA if available".
Man! THX! I cannot believe I didn't noticed it wasn't set automatically to DMA if available... But why doesn't windows automatically sets it to DMA ? Argh...
And the IAA? Why doesn't it work on Win2k if it worked on XP correctly? I don't understand.
By the way now the only thing that is missing: my fast booting
But I don't care, now everything looks fine afterall...
Thx,
Dexx

Does MSI 845PE Max supports LBA

In fact all is in the title... Does MSI 845PE MAX (6580) supports for LBA drive?

Yes, as you need to have the patch incorporated in order to recognize the total drive to start with. There is some info here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305098

MSI 845PE MAX-L mobo no power whatsoever

Hi,
Just upgraded my mobo, RAM & processor to the following:
MSI 845PE MAX-L mainboard
Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
DDR-DIMM PC2700 512MB
Put everything together and worked a treat from Monday. Reinstalled all my software including XP and had everting running smoothly for over 24 hours with the tower boxed up (so no possibility of accidentally touching any componentry).
This morning I tried to switch on the machine and NOTHING. No response from the mobo no fans no lights no beep - nothing.
Checked all leads in place.
Then tried power supply (Eagle ATX 350W Switching Power Supply Pentium 4 compatible) on my old ABIT mobo together with my old 256 Mb SRAM & Hercules 3D Prophet 32MB graphics card. It worked!
So put same setup back on the new MSI mobo, i.e. just graphics card, 512Mb DRAM, power supply & Intel 2.4 processor. Still nothing. Pretty sure got all my leads from the tower in all the right places on Mobo as they matched the previous configuration and that wouldn't have worked before, right?
Whats going on, why does my pc work one day and then can't be arsed the next?
Lloydich

I had an Eagle 350watt PSU come supplied in my new case but i didnt trust the PSU so i took it out without even trying it.
What is your complete system build setup?
Those el-cheapo PSU's are not really upto running the most intense of systems despite what the manufacturers say.
Unplug a few components from off the PSU and try to boot up again... its not impossible the PSU is dead... honestly if you spend alot of money on a new system it seems criminal not to get a decent PSU, im not criticisng here im just surprised how many people dont consider getting a 'good' PSU to power their new state of the art PC's.
Try the unplugging of a few components that connect to the PSU if this dont work for you then if possible try a better PSU (350 watt does not neccesarily mean its good, some cheap 350 watt PSU's are less powerful than a good 300 watt PSU)

MSI 845PE Max-L

Is there a compability problem between Radeon 9200 Atlantis,P4 2.66 Gig prosessor and MSI 845PE Max-L ??
Memory module is DDR 400 512 Ram,HD is Maxtor 120 Gig ATA 100
Every single component works fine with my other Motherboard ( MSI 845E Max )
but when I try to start these in 845PE Max-L only thing that happens is prosessor cooler spins 2 seconds...then totally silence....I got a motherboard replaced once
already....
I cleared CMOS
tried another graphic card ( Geforce3 Ti 500 )
Nothing happens even with default settings...
Highly unlikely that two broken motherboards has been given to me !?!?!?!
Please someone tell me what to do..
E-Mail,MSN or here at the Boards...
- THX -

"Lower you DRAM Freq to 333MHz and increase you DDR Voltage to 2.7v, thereafter incrasing your AGP Voltge to 1.6v."
Why ? and how ?
cannot go to BIOS..
and I just asked if there is a compability problem...
Danny : no other cooler movement :(
just prosessorcooler spins few times,
there are no shorts between board and case through the standoffs.
I took motherboard out of case ( in case of that )
Whole F****n thing is starting to me off...
Never had this much problems with MSI-boards :(
So,once again ; every component works in 845E max ,same case,same powersupply etc.
Only sure thing seems to be : 2 broken motherboards ! ( god damn )

MSI 845PE Max Lan - MS-6580 Ver.2.0 boot failure

I recently purchased this mainboard and components. All's working fine except for 1 strange issue:
On each 1st boot-up (after I powered down) the harddisk (UDMA 100, 80GB Western Digital) is not detected. This results in a boot failure.
After this 1st failure I reset and from then on booting is OK, harrdisk is succesfully detected (although it always takes about 10-15 seconds before detecting).
Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
This is my config:
- MSI 845PE Max Lan
- 2,4GHz P4
- Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm (set as master, only device on its cable)
- ATI Radeon 9700
- 512 MB DDR (pc2700)
Hope anyone can help out.

Note: FSB533 CPU is required in order to choose DDR333 selection in the BIOS setup
thats what is says here

Problems with MSI 648 Max

I have problems with my sons MSI 648 Max Mainboard, everything seems to be alhright, but when I upgraded the BIOS version to the lastest. the computer starts to hang. I have also but a new harddisk in to the computer an some more RAM. I think the problem begin in the powersupply, its just a 250 W powersupply to the computer, and we have av 1.8 GHz Celeron. Have anything had this problem, or is it something I should think about after the upgrade of the BIOS?.

I know that 250 watt is to small, but the computer have function great in 2 months. But after i have taking out the old harddisk and but in a new bigger one, and placed some more RAM (256). After that I installed Windows XP on the new harddisk, but after that I upgraded my BIOS version to 1.4. After the upgrade of the BIOS the computer starts to freeze after a while. I tried to reinstall XP but the computer freeze under the installation. I have tried to switch back to older BIOS version, but I cant make it work. I have really hard to believe that the powersupply is the reason why the compter freeze.

Have the MSI-845Pe MAX(pure version) PCIlock and AGPlock???

I have a question.
I want to buy this motherboard and I don´t know if this motherboard have PCIlock and AGPlock for a little overclocking.
thanks for all.

I'm sure. It's in the bios under "frequency/voltage control".
You have the choice of AUTO (unlocked), and several locked frequencies. Currently have mine set at 66.67/33.3.

I have a MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD MS-8851 geforce 3 graphics card and a MSI 845PE Max 2 MS 6704 Mainboard. There is a sticker over the AGP port on the board which says I can only use AGP 1.5v 4x cards in the slot and If I dont I can seriously damage the mainboard. Will my card be compatible with the board?. Thanks

it will be fine
any modern gf cards fine,older tnt2 can be gpx4 but not all are

845PE Max-L problem with pci cards

Got a weird issue with the 845PE Max-L and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I work in the RMA dept of a nationwide computer wholesaler and recently we've come across atleast 4 of these boards with the same problem. under windows xp it will not detect any pci cards. tried various sticks of ram, video cards, network cards, modems, usb cards, hard drives, pretty much anything we can think of to check for incompatiblities. did the latest bios flash, installed the newest updates in windows xp, but still cant get these boards to detect any pci cards whatsoever. yes we tried different power supplies and yes we tested the pci cards in other systems to make sure none of it was defective, all passed with flying colors. now here's the kicker, under windows 2000 it DID detect the pci cards, however i was unable to successfully load any drivers to any of the devices. We've made a call to our MSI rep to find out if anyone else has run into this or are we just dealing with a bad batch. unfortunatly noone from MSI has contacted us back yet so i decided to try and post here to see if anyone else has come across this odd situation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Weaksauce;
Two replies two separate motherboards. In reference to the 865 / 875 motherboards not recognizing PCI cards I think your link has something to offer. :biggthumbsup:I'm not going to go back and test it but the reason the PCI cards were not recognized may very well be that the old bios did not properly inspire the intel inf utility to install the correct drivers. The force method you suggest may well overcome that particular problem. I would still suggest that merely doing the BIOS upgrade first is the more elegant approach.
Regarding the usb problem with MS update, the inf chipset article would appear to have little to offer. The 845 MB uses the Intel 845 chipset which is ICH4 by the way. The updated inf utility was installed in as early in the process as possible.

845PE MAX and MSI TI 4800SE Problem! Please Help!

I'm tring to upgrade to a TI 4800SE on the MSI 845PE MAX Motherboard. But windows XP won't boot. I can't get in the BIOS setup. Just the MSI logo at startup, and it retarts every 8 seconds. Please help! Tried uninstalled ATI driver first.
System:
P4 2.4Ghz
MSI 846PE MAX
ATI All-IN-Radeon
Windows XP

Is that video card 4x or 8x AGP. Not sure but I think that mobo only supports 4x agp.

Thanks bob,
I have read elsewhere on the Internet that windows 8 is supported on bootcamp and that it works.
Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

Big Problems w/ 845PE Max-L

Installed today,
P4 2.2
M/B MSI 845PE Max-L
G/F ti4600
512. samsung PC2700
Upon startup,
I get power it seems to everything but, I have a blank screen and i hear 1 beep followed by 8 beeps. It wont go into bios or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Ok...
Unplug all the IDE cables and re-attach JUST the HD cable from the MB to the HD making sure the connectors are on securely and are lined up with the connectors at the back of the hard drive fully.
If that boots to bios screen ok then shutdown again and re-attach JUST the floppy connector (again making sure it securely fitted to both MB and to the back of the floppy) then boot back to the bios screen again to check that its ok with the 2nd cable fitted, then shut down and re-attach the CD-ROM cable... again making 100% sure that all the IDE cables are attached correctly and securely both to the MB and to all components.
Bootup again to BIOS and see if everything is as it should be... (HD, floppy and CDROM all detected properly now?)
Now in the BIOS use auto-detect wherever needed to detect the size of the HD etc (im unfamiliar with your BIOS so the auto detect may not be required but try it anyway) save and exit the BIOS.
Spend a little time attaching the cables to make sure they are ALL attached perfectly... it is very easy to miss align them if you are keen to get the PC up and running.
