K7N2 and msi gforce 4mx 440 problem

Well, I have an MSI K7N2 Motherboard (with Nforce 2 chipset), Athon XP 2400+, and
MSI StarForce GForce 4 MX 440 64mb DDR, it works ok, but there is something that keeps
my attention, when the machine starts, no Legend about the VGA CARD is shown, like
GeForce 4 MX 400 Card, or something like that, all the cards I know do that, but this not,
I`ve changed my card (other =), but I still have the same problem, can anybody help me?????

In my evperience, the ATI cards do not seem to show a bios flash screen, I've been told by a system builder that it has something to do with the delay sending a signal to the monitor???, anyways, my old system running a Radeon 8500 never showed a vga bios screen, and the same card did not show one on my K7N2-Delta board either.  But 3 different nVidia cards all show a VGA bios upon boot (gf4 Ti4200, gf2 mx400, and gf2 ultra).  Either way, as long as your card is working, don't wory about it.

  • Linux and MSI KT4 Ultra : DVD problems

    Hi, I own an MSI KT4 Ultra Pure mobo.  The vt8235 Southbridge is supported in the lastest version of the Linux Kernel, 2.4.20 . After upgrading the kernel all seems to work fine, but when the system try to initialize my hdc (Secondary master of IDE, a DVD reader DV-5800A from NEC) it locks up with the message :
    hdc: device {Busy}
    hdc: drive not ready for command
    ide1: reset success!!
    and start looping with this message.
    What can I do to get work my DVD Reader? With my precedent MoBo it works perfectly
    Thanks
    Bye

    Hmmm that error used to happen with an older kernel and an ALI chipset. If you leave it long enough does it give up trying and continue to boot? The ALI did this eventualy.

  • ATI TV Wonder LE and MSi K7T Mobo - major problems

    Has anyone got this combination to work properly or got any tips? My machine crashes all the time (hangs up) when I am using the ATI tuner card.
    System spec:
    MSi K7T mobo KT133 chipset
    ATI 128 Rage pro 32MB graphics card
    AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz (200 FSB)
    384 MB SDRAM PC133

    I doubt it's something that's too slow but rather a conflict of sorts.
    I heared befor of problems with the ATI AIW but have no experiance with the cards myself so I don't have any specific suggestions regarding the card.

  • MSI K7n2 and K7n2 Delta Probelms!!!

    I work at a computer store in the central Texas Area. We have been selling and Building computers with msi boards pretty much exclusiveley. When MSI made the change to the Delta K7n2 We recieved 5 bad boards in a row. SOme would not Post at ll. Others would post 1 time and thats it, and others would crash in any 3d ap. I purchased the Original K7n2 And And Currentley running it with a BFG Asylm 5900 Standard and 512 Of PC 2700 Crucial mem. and an XP 2600. I have had no problems until i tried to play command and Conquer Zero Hour. Now after about 20 Minutes the game will crash to the desktop with an unknown error. I switched back to my TI4600 and the same has not happened. I notice that there was a bios flash to fix 5900 Compatability problems. Anyone Still haveing issues. After what i have seen first hand At my store. I will think twice before getting another msi board. We have now begun to cary Gigabyte and Have had no problems.

  • MSI geforce4 MX 440 install problems

    This seems to be the most appropriate forum to
    post this in - but if i'm wrong, please point me to the right place.
    I recently got a MSI GeForce4 MX 440 board,
    and installed it in a new system i built.
    However, i'm having problems getting it working.
    The machine is an AMD 2000+ processor with
    a gigabyte motherboard, with AGP x 4 capability,
    a gig of ram, a HD, CDR, floppy, and one PCI card - a soundcard, which i haven't installed yet.  I have a Philips 107T Monitor, which worked fine with an old system. I'm running Win98 (not SE).
    Basically, the system works aside from the videocard.
    I try to install the video card, it installs the driver.
    Then i try to change the video mode to something more than 16 color 640x480, it asks me to restart.  I do,
    and it either gives me a windows protection fault, or it just restarts automatically, and won't boot fine
    unless i go to safe mode.  Unless i switch to a standard vga adapter for the display, it will do the same thing every time i restart.
    First, i tried running all the windows98 updates.
    Then i downloaded the newest nvidia driver 30.00.
    Restarted, and it does the same exact thing.  I tried
    to re-seat the video card, same thing happens.
    It definitely displays - i'm using it right now in 16 color mode, but it won't actually run in any other mode,
    or really even let you install it.
    Anybody have ideas?
    My thoughts are:
    - try a newer OS (although the box says it works with win95/98 and more)
    - try to swap it with another video card and see how my machine handles it - which is a problem since i don't have any others sitting around
    email me if you have a good solution - [email protected]  
    thanks very much!

    hi
     i suggest you also ask here in the gigabyte forum

  • Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

    I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
                  MSI Geforce 4 - 420
                  Celeron 1.7 gig
                  Soundblaster Live
                  2 Network Cards
                  and the usual stuff.
    I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen.  Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

    My system sometime freezes. Why ???

  • IRQ problems with 865PE Neo2V and MSI NX6600-VTD256 VGA

    Hi All,
    I thought I would try a posting here first for help before filling out the cumbersome service request form. I recently purchased the 865PE Neo2V motherboard with an intel 3.2Ghz processor, 1 Twinmos 1024MB DDr400 memory, 2 Maxtor Diamond 250GB S-ATA HDD's and the MSI NX6600 VTD 256  AGP VGA card. I am also running a Plextor 716a dvd burner and a Toshiba DVD Rom on the secondary IDE slot nothing on the primary for 2 S-ATA drives and 2 P-ATA for a total of 4.  I have always had a very good experience with MSI products in the past, easy to install and for the most part problem free. That is until now. I am having a rough time with the VGA card and IRQ conflicts. In the past with all my MSI motherboards I was able to choose ( Reserve IRQ for VGA) Not so with the 865PE NEO 2V.( Unless I am missing something and doing it wrong) To make a long story short the MSI NX 6600 (NVIDIA GeForce 6600) VGA card is sharing IRQ 16 with Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - 24D2 and Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - 24DE. For the most part the system runs OK except every so often during startup the system loses the VGA Card and tries to reinstall the card and software. After reinstalling the software the first time it happened I subsequently tried choosing Cancel on the prompt to install and simply reboot the computer. To my surprise the system always seems to see the VGA card on the second boot! and works fine. I have been running the system for two days now with the USB disabled in the bios which gives the VGA card IRQ 16 by itself,  so far the system has seen the VGA card each and every startup without problems. Since the USB and AGP are fixed I am unable to move anything. Unfortunately I need the USB for my printer and scanner. I would also like to add that I have the latest BIOS upgrade for the Motherboard and the latest MSI Drivers for the VGA card.
    Any suggestions on how to get the VGA card on its own IRQ?
    Thanks for any input
    Mike
    Edited to add that For an OS I have WinXP Pro service pack2

    or rather, the poorly installed drivers.

    I take umbrage with your statement. I installed the latest drivers from MSI correctly! I also chose not to install the very latest as they are a Beta version with the warning they may be unstable!  Perhaps I was under the misguided impression that I would be better off with the latest drivers offered by MSI for the particular VGA card I paid my good money for! ( this is the main reason I thought the problem was not driver related!) It is not my fault that MSI dropped the ball in its offerings to its valued customers!
    Just because I was being polite to Hans who offered so much good advice and showed such a genuine concern for my troubles doesn't mean I had not read the advice from Nvidia on how to uninstall and reinstall "their" drivers! I will admit though that from my read on Nvidias suggestions they did not go as far as to recommend uninstalling the norton works completely, only disabling it!
    On another note My computer seems to be starting so far without the problem!  On yet another note after installing Nvidias driver package Version: 91.31 You get a warning every time you start up that the SLI is disabled. (unless your sli equipped) I found a fix for it and have it stored on my web space if anyone wants it. It is a zip file and I guarantee that I've scanned it with Norton and it is virus free. After unzipping it and clicking on it it makes an entry into the system registry removing the warning.
    It is here:  http://home.casema.nl/mdybus/FixSLIBug.zip

    I just checked my email and have a reply from the service department. Here is what they said:

    Dear customer,
    The latest BIOS can be installed using Live Update:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php?kind
    =1
    The latest driver for the VGA can be found on www.nvidia.com. We (and
    other VGA vendors) do not make our own drivers, nVidia (and ATI) make
    the drivers. So at the website from nVidia the latest drivers can be
    found.

  • MX440 problem and MSI support

    I am experiencing problems with a new MX440 and cannot resolve it.   I attempted to submit a request via the MSI website, but it never returns a response once the information is submitted.  I sent an email to the support account - no response.  I posted in another thread where other people experienced a similar problem (MSI Clock).  The only resolution (in that thread) was to install Win98.  
    What do I do?  I think my only option is to return the card and NEVER buy another MSI product for myself or a customer.   Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Problems:
    1. Most games will not play properly, or will only play for a few minutes.  Including the games provided with the card.  "No One Lives Forever" flickers really bad and locks up (or blue screens).  Similar behavior with Giants, Diablo II, et al.
    2. The "MS Information" and "MSI Clock" Display Properties crash the control panel application with the following error:  "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel File c:\winnt\system32\desk.cpl".  I am not able to view or modify these settings.
    3. Live Update Fails with a VBIOS.DLL failure.
    4. 3D Turbo crashes the IE 5.5 window when started.
    I upgraded the bios on both the MB and video card. I installed the latest drivers for the video card.  I've tried every combination of scan rate, screen resolution and 16/32 bit.  I prayed.
    It's only the 3d apps or apps that are video intensive that have a problem.   All other applications work great.  
    My Configuration:
    ASUS P4S333 Motherboard Rev 1.xx (Award Medallion V6.0 BIOS - revision 1006C - 4/19/2002)

    DirectX 8.1

    Hi ,
    It seems I have the same problem than you; in addition I also have a ASUS P4S333 motherboard; running XP Pro.
    Well my problem is really with 3D games, all of them, even those distributed with the graphic card. I am trying to get help from MSI and ASUS on that problem; before going back to the shop for getting a replacement card to test it will change something or getting a new card.
    what I have tried is NOT installing MSI drivers since it adds some option in the display menu and constantly crash it when they are selected (MSI info and MSI clock)., got driver directly from MSI from 27.xx to 30.xx, try them all with "no one lives forever" and Medal of Honor with always the same results....freezing screen after 5-30 minutes of games.
    I was wondering of a fan problem, that the GPU will get too hot , and you will get the typical freezing bug; however, if the image remains frozen (almost, because it is still working, but it is really slowwwwwwwwwww.), the sound is still playing properly, so the CPU is OK; it seems to be hardware GPU problem....
    Did you solve your problem??
    if yes what was the solution
    Thanks in advance for your answer

  • P35 Platinum and MSI 8600 GT problem

    I have a problem with the computer locking up. It will do it on certain web sites, clicking around in Media player and other programs. I tried everything I could think of. Finally I Got an 8400 video card locally and everything is fine. My question is, since the 8600 GT gets all of it's power from the PCIE slot could it be a voltage problem? If so, I see no way of increasing the PCIE voltage in the bios for this MB.
    Any ideas before I send this card back?
    Thanks,
    Bill
    Msi P35 Platinum Motherboard
    Core2Duo 6850
    2 gig Corsair XMS2 6400C4D Dominator Memory
    OCZ Stealth X Stream 600 Watt Powersupply

    It locked up with default bios settings and no overclocking. I didn't overclock the video card at all. I tried everything. Since I put in a temporary 8400GTS I have the processor overclocked to 3.3gig and everything is fine. Could the 8400 need less power than the 8600GT and if so is there a way to increase the voltage on the 16X PCIE slot? This is a MSI MB and MSI Video card so I would expect them to work together.

  • Are MSI GF4 MX 440 or460 working properly?

    Dear All,
    Since I am not the only one having problem with MSI graphic card based on GF4 MX440 or 460 :O , especially when playing 3D games (for example No one lives forever or Aquanox), I would like to know if someone is the happy owner of a MSI GF4 MX 440 or 460, having no problem of screen freezing when playing 3D games? If so, then could you describe your configuration (motherboard, OS, Processor, PowerSupply and driver)
    thanks for your help and your time
    Eric
    PS: you can email me directly to [email protected]  :P

    Thanks for your answer,
    here more information and more "?"
    I have found out that MSI GF4 MX 4x0 are NOT certified by microsoft for compatibility with XP . Well, I am running XP, investment regarding XP software makes graphic card incompatibility minor, considering the price, so I better buy a new graphic card...
    In addition it has been reported that GF4MX are not fully functional with DirectX and 3D, in other words they might not work properly from one game to another....
    well here are the info, I have updated my bios on my ASUS P4S333, as well as the different driver of the SIS chipset, AGP slot.... no change, I have also tried detonator 28.32, no improvement,
    my psu is 300W so it should not be the source of the problem
     so I guess this GF4MX440 is a faulty card, and I have to get it replaced....
    Now seing problems with other MSI card on this forum (i.e. 4200 Ti ) I would maybe change and go for a ASUS graphic card, or any other brand, any suggestion???

  • G4 MX 440 problem: "CODE 10" (was working OK before)

    Hi,
    My PC has been running stable for months, I haven't installed anything special.
    My problem: this morning I was playing "No One Lives Forever" and all of a sudden my image got distorted and the computer locked up.
    I had to reboot (cold), but the problem stays: a lot of vertical lines in the image.
    When I look at the hardware configuration, there's a "!" besides the video card stating an error "code 10".
    How could this have happened ??
    What can I do about this ??
    My config:
    AMD XP 2000
    MSI KT333 ULTRA2-R
    MSI Geforce4 MX 440
    256 MB RAM
    SB Live 5.1
    OS = XP
    Help me please !  ;(

    UpD8,
    One thing. Have you tried pulling the GF4 out and putting it back in the AGP Slot?
    Good Luck,
    Richard

  • G4MMX 440 Problems

    Having problems with certain game graphics being messed up (looks like a broken mirror). Lately it is only with "No one lives forever" (which came with the VC Package). Also it will start up fine then once you get to the game screens certain parts of the graphics will flash in and out, making it impossible to play.
    When I first installed the Video Card I was running Windows 98, and the game ran fine. I upgraded to Win 2k and it ran fine.  The only problem I had at this time was that I couldnt make any changes to the MSI Inofrmation or MSI Clock in the Properties Menu. When I upgraded the driver to Detonator 3, I was able to view and change settings in the Properties menus and everything was running smoothly.
    I later tried upgrading to Win XP. Everything ran fine except all games would quit and boot me back to the desktop after about 30 seconds of playing.  I figured it was Win XP that was causing the problem so I switched back to Win 2k(and also reformatted to clear the clutter).  A few days later I found out that the GPU Fan had died and was causing all games to kick me back to Desk top after a few minutes of playing.  Called the Techs the sent me a replacement fan, installed and that problem is fixed.  
    After the reformatt and installation of Win 2k no matter what drivers I use, when I try to view the MSI Info, or MSI Clock settings in the properties menu I get the following message. " Error occured while windows was working with the Control Panel File C:\winnit\System32.desk.cpl.
    I have used a registry cleaner, there are no double registries. I have tried all nVidia drivers available and I get the same problem.
    I am using 40.72 at the moment and I can only the vew the information in those menu's by going throught the advanced settings to look through the N-View, close it then I can open those two menu's.  I am able to view MSI Information but cant change anything, and MSI Clock shows my Mem Clock at a max of 7 mhz, and the Core clock can only be changed from 7 to 10 mhz. If I hit the Default tabs I get the C:\winnit\system32.desk.cpl error, or if I close them and try to reopen I get the same errors.
    I also ran the Benchmark 2001SE program to se where I rate, My score was 5446.
    Any suggestions will help, I've tried everything I can think of but going back to Win 98.  My Card ran for at least 3 days with out the fan cooling it due to the fan crashing un-noticed(now I have it plugged into the MB wich will trigger an alarm when it dies or goes under like 3k rpms), so I'm not sure if something on my card fried or not.
    Again any help will help.
    My system:
    Intel P4 1.8a
    512 DDR333 ram
    GeForce4 MMX 440-T
    Asus PS333 MB
    Onboard Audio
    Creative 52k CD
    Win 2k Pro

    If you had that problem with the heatsink, maybe it is a good idea to return your card to the vendor and ask them to replace it as well.
    About the MSI clock, I guess that error could happen if you are using a non-MSI driver. As I saw in another thread it is not that easy to get rid of that clock. Here is what Stone says about it:
    "do a search for those and then delet it!!!!!!
    msicpl.dll
    stone"
    So, delete msicpl.dll.
