K8MM-ILSR

I have a boot problem ..I just built this machine and ( MSI K8mm-ILSR system)
Sometimes it will not boot.
It hangs up on the Floppy A drive and keeps trying it .
Boot order set as :
Floppy A
CD Rom
Hard drive.
If I disable Floppy seek in the BIOS it still does the same thing.
I tried a different cable and then a different Floppy.
Same Problem
Any Ideas?
The machine is an Athlon 64  3000+
768 DDR 400 Memory  =256 Kingston value ram and 512  Rosewill 
Floppy A (NEC)
Sony Combo drive
AOPEN DVD writer.
I have never encountered this problem before.
This is the First Athlon 64 system I have built and the first time I have chosen MSI motherboard.
any Ideas?
Thanks in advance

  • K8MM ILSR + Athlon 64 3000 : wong temperature after restart

    Hello,
    I have just installed a K8MM ILSR.
    Starting with a cold system, CPU temperature is around 40°C after one hour of normal use.
    If I restart the computer, the temperature is immediately at  50°C and stay stable.
        1 - which temp is the right one (40 or 50°C) ?
         2 - the BIOS release is 3.4, is this problem solved in the new release 3.7?
    Thanks for your help

    Are you using any USB devices? Might sound strange, but on some systems USB devices affect the temp sensors in some strange way. When I power on my USB HDD, my temp shoots up a few degrees Celsius. Switching off the drive doesn't help, temps go back to normal after a reboot. Same thing on three different systems (all MSI boards)...

  • K8MM-ILSR Bios 3.7 not work with Sempron64, Only show 512/1mb

    Ok I have K8MM-ILSR, The processor shows Unknown type but it seems to run ok.
    I am running Sempron64 2800, 2x 512mb Patriot cas2.
    The Mobo only recognizes 512 mb of ram on the board, If somone has a solution to fix the problem I would be gratefull for the help.

    3.7 is the latest publis release Bios.
    I have tested both brand new memory sticks, in both ram slots and they both work perfectly.

  • K8MM-ILSR: Unknown CPU & Audio

    Hello,
    I have an K8MM-ILSR motherbord. I installed a Sempron 2600+. The BIOS reports Unknown CPU. Why is that?
    Also I have installed the front audio headers from my case. When I plug in a headset in the front ports, the rear speakers are still active. With the same case and a different motherbord when I plug in the front ports the rear speakers turn off.
    How can I get the rear speakers to turn off when I'm using front audio?
    Thanks

    Hi!
    I bought a K8MM-ILSR mainboard and a AMD Semperon 64 2800+ E6-Stepping CPU.
    After Installation the BIOS as well as Windows XP tells me, that I am running an unknown AMD CPU. Having browsed through the global MSI-webpages, I had to find out that the latest E6-stepping of the Semperon 64 processor is not supported by the BIOS. This is a major hassle as I am unable to use the Cool 'n Quiet feature among other things thus giving me fans at full speed and a system which is always on full power.
    I have already installed the latest AMD K8 Driver and the latest C'nQ-Software, nonetheless these software parts are not helping. 
    Can you please release a BIOS update for this particular mainboard as I would like to keep my CPU and have it fully supported. Thanks you very much in advance.

  • K8MM-ILSR 1920x1200 supported?

    I upgraded the PC of my father in law with a Dell U2410 1920x1200 monitor.
    The system uses onboard video of the MSI mainboard K8MM-ILSR with VIA® K8M800 Chipset.
    http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=601
    The videopart is called VIA Unichrome Pro IGP.
    Max what I get now is 4:3 1600x1200. No wide resolutions at all.
    Before I flash the board with latest BIOS, does the board support 1920x1200 or any wide resolution?

    Sorry that board is too old, if it doesn't with the latest drivers it will never do it with the onboard.
    VIA stopped making chipsets a long time ago, so don't expect them to fix it.
    Put a ATI 9550 AGP or so in it and it will work just fine.

  • MSI-6741 v1 (K8MM-ILSR) with Athlon Mobile 64 3000+

    I just bought a new motherboard and cpu for my HTPC project this week, and started to make some test.
    I found out that the new via K8M800 was a good choice for Athlon 64, so I jumped on the new  K8MM-ILSR board.  Like all of us wanting to build a noise less HTPC, I decided to take the mobile version of the Athlon.  According to the specs of AMD, it shouldn't be different (except core voltage and heat) compare to the "normal" version.
    Well, that s the theory!  When I assembled the motherboard and the CPU, I was supprised to see the MB doesn't recognised correctly the CPU.  Well at start-up , it sees the CPU Model as an Athlon 64 Mobile 3000+ , but that 's it.
    In the BiOs (upgraded to the latest version 3.6), the DDR speed isn't well detected -> DDR200 instead of DDR400 (Corsair DDR400), and the CPU speed is "blocked" to 800Mhz with a multiplier of 4x when I check with CPUID in windows XP.
    I forgot to mention, to be able to boot the system, I had to reduce the Hypertransport speed to 600Mhz , instead of 800Mhz in the BIOS.
    At the end, in Windows XP, I see that non of the specs are the right one:
    -> VCore is 1.088v (!) -> Yes great undervolting, if the CPU speed was correct
    -> CPU Speed is 800Mhz ( with or without Cool'n'Quiet activated in the BIOS)
    -> HT speed is 600Mhz
    So, I was surprise to not be able to change anything in the BioS (!?!?), I cannot change the Vcore , CPU speed, multiplier in this BioS ... only the FSB is allowed.   Well, that s a little bit disapointing for a MB which is supposed to support overclocking.
    Sooooo, anyone got tip to make this MB detecting correctly the Athlon Mobile?  Is there anyone of MSI who can give a status about the support for this kind of CPU?  What's wrong with the detection?
    Thanks.

    As far as your ram is concerned, it could be that your motherboard posts reading show Frequency reading of your ram and not its rating. PC 3200 or DDR400 is
    200mhz X 2. So if its showing 200mhz that may not be wrong. use Otherwise change the speed in the Bios to DDR400.
    To check to see if its reading correctly even at 200mhz. Use Everest or CPU-Z to detect what speed it is running at. If it reads as PC3200 then your fine.
    CPU-Z is also another good tool to see whats up with your processor.
    I do not know much about DTR Athlon Processors. Wish I could help you more here. My friends Notebook 3000+ runs at 700mhz when battery life is low! That is all I know! Could yet be another bios config.
    You will never be able to directly overclock a processor or change a CPU clock speed. Only indirectly by upping the FSB.
    Quote
    only the FSB is allowed. Well, that s a little bit disapointing for a MB which is supposed to support overclocking.
    Actually the FSB is how you overclock, or the multi. Changing your FSB will overclock your CPU. That is how you typically overclocl, unless you are changing multipliers as well.
    Multi * FSB = Clockspeed
    Regular athlon 64's have a FSB of 200.
    I hope this is a start to help ya out. At least untill someone more knowledgable shows up!  

  • MSI MS-6741 v1.0 Mobo - K8MM-ILSR

    I am finding it difficult to identify this board from the K8TM-ILSR.
    First, both of the untested boards I have in my possession detail on the
    rear side if the board, K8MM-ILSR concatentated to a long number.
    However, as I suspect these boards are dead, I visited the MSI website with
    a view to obtaining drivers, BIOS, manuals and the like.
    First, the MSI pic of the K8MM-ILSR has a decal on the mobo topside in white as with MS 6741 VER:1
    This is consistent with the boards I possess.
    Second, the MSI pic of the the K8TM-ILST has the same decal but is amiss the CNR slot present on the K8MM.
    Third, searching for BIOS updates, the board selector specifies K8MM-ILSR (MS-6741-030)
    Fourth, the board selector specifies for K8TM-ILSR (MS-6741).
    Is there such as board as a ver 3 MS-6741?
    Yours confused...?....

    look here how to ID your board:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107777.msg798546#msg798546
    look between PCI slots, and look for current BIOS version installed.

  • K8MM-ILSR PROBLEM with ATI Radeon 9550 of 256MB AGP port 8X...

    Hello, I have a  motherboard MSI-K8MM-ILSR, when use the onboard video card works correctly, but the problem begins when I install a ATI Radeon 9550 of 256MB, is AGP port 8X and has its dissipator, in other machines it works well and your temperature is ok. My monitor is Samsung Sync Master 793s at 75 Hz. The Problem is the following: the machine crash and the video is distorted and it is congealed, this happens after playing a little, the video card drivers are updated (Catalyst 5,6), I'm use Windows XP Service Pack 1, Thanks... and excuse me my English...

    Some other options you can try:
    - uninstall the previous vid-drivers and use driver cleaner software to uninstall everything
    - disable onboard video in the BIOS;
    - set fastwrite to disabled/no (if it's there)
    - set AGP Aperture Size to 128 (if it doesn't do anything, go to 64);
    - set AGP port to 4x.
    - Start hoping  .... good luck! 
    (BTW, the last two options may cause your system to operate slightly slower, but it's hardly worth mentioning ... )

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8MM-ILSR

    Hi!
    Im new to the msi forums..and i have some questions about the mobos
    I am installing an amd 64 2800+ and i wanna use the k8mm-ilsr mobo (cuz it has an onboard vid card)
    The reason why I need an onboard vid card is because i plan to get the 6600gt in the summer (i am saving up at the moment so i need something to get me through the 2-3 months). The other option i have is to get a mobo and a low end vid card (radeon 9250) and use it untill i get the 6600gt but it seems like a waste of money.
    I was wondering if the k8mm-ilsr is a good mobo for the 64 and if there are some problems i should be aware of. This is my first time builidng a comp.

    Hi and welcome.
    There are surprisingly little problems with those.
    It basicly has components which have been around 4 a while, so I gues that took the sharp edges of things, I am sure u won't regret it.
    Good choice 4 a vid card btw. Even an ATI adept like me has to admit the 6600GT is the best value 4 money at the moment.

  • K8MM-ILSR & ATI 9550 driver problem

    I ahve a K8MM-ILSR & ATI 9550.  The internal video card is disabled and driver is not installed.  When the ATI 9550 driver is installed the system will have random crashes.  As soon as the ATI 9550 driver is deleted, everything is stable. No crashes.
    K8MM-ILSR
    ATI 9550 video card
    512 meg ram
    80 gig ata HD

    Thanks, I've tried two different versions of the drivers and no luck.  Could the monitor have something to do with this?  My 17' Sony monitor is 8 years old. (It is in perfect shape for being that old.)

  • Problems with Audio Drivers on K8MM-ILSR

    Newbie alert.
    I think I'm posting this in the right area, but forgive me if I've messed up. 
    I have this Gateway refurb computer I've just bought, and I've had no luck getting it running with Gateway's bundled software (and neither has Gateway support... what a waste), so I've decided to go it alone (glad I did... it's much faster now).
    Anyhow, I have the latest MSI bios loaded, and everything seems to be working ok except for my on board audio.  I have made sure the audio is enabled in the BIOS.  When I try to load the latest driver from the MSI website, or the Realtek website, I get the message that the "Data is invalid" and that the drivers could not be installed.  Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling them in and out of safe mode.  I've also tried copying over the driver.cab file from the XP installation disk (read about this on the MS support site) to no avail.  I'm not terribly experienced in building computers apart from adding memory/replacing broken parts, and stuff like that.  I searched this site, and Googled all around, but I still can't seem to solve this.  Any help would be appreicated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    Thank you foxxww. 
    I gave it a little more thought and realized that nothing had changed since my fresh install of XP EXCEPT I flashed my BIOS.  Duh!  I since re-loaded XP and on-board sound is up and running.  Incidentally it also resolved a previous complication I had with my on-board video driver.  Now If I could just get the spontaneous re-boot issue figured out... Ah but that's for another post I suppose. Thanks to all that offered suggestions.

    I had a problem installing the audio driver for my K8MM-V when the mainboard was changed. The problem was solved by re-installing the XP Pro OS.

  • K8MM-ILSR Spontaneous Re-boot Issue

    Ok.. after having resolved my on-board driver issues, I'm now left with one final problem.  Every now and then, for no appearant reason, the computer will just re-boot itself.  It usually happens when you're right in the middle of something (i.e. calling up an application) as opposed to the system sitting idle.  The machine is a Gateway 614GE but seems to be made with no proprietary parts.  It just arrived back from Gateway support after supposedly having the MB, PSU, HD, and processor replaced to address previous issues (of which none were actually cured).  I have since then flashed the BIOS, uploaded the appropriate drivers from MSI's website, and installed XP-pro in place of Gateway's bundled mess of software.  Things are good (and much faster) except I get this occasional re-boot.. very disconcerting.
    The machine had this issue before, and Gateway support (as usual) offered no useful support or explanation.  There is never a warning... it just shuts down and re-starts.  Any suggestions on where to begin my search?  I'm thinking maybe PSU?  Of course this was supposed to have been replaced just recently, but I don't trust that they actually did anything... should have marked the components before I sent it in.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    It could well be the Bios from MSI as well. Many Gateway owners have complained with issues at using an MSI Bios on their machines even though it may have an MSI board. The reason is that companies like Gateway buy boards from companies like MSI but have them custom configured for a specific reason. When that happens then only Gateway Bios';s should be used on those particular boards. Even using an MSI bios may void your warrenty.
    My recommend is to only use a Gateway Bios when your MSI BMB is sold as part of one of their machines. If you have questions with your gatewaty or other OEM machines that use what you would think are standard board means you should use their support channels no matter what.

  • Problems with MSI K8MM-ILSR mATX after BIOS flash...

    I flashed it with the latest AMI bios dated 12/21/2004 and i used the LiveUpdate Windows-Based flashing. Everything was perfect and ran fine, comp rebooted and everything is still running great, EXCEPT....
    Now my memory wont run at DDR400, There is a DDR Setting, if anyone wants to DLOAD the manual and look with me....Its either set to 'Limit' or 'Auto'. Auto on the old bios loaded at DDR400, but now its DDR333. When i choose limit, my DDR Options come up, DDR100, 200, 266, 333, 400. When i set it to 400, DDR333 STILL comes up. Aside from that i dont know where the dividers are. CPU said my ram is at 333 aswell. Its stating that the mobo is using CPU/12, which i dont like.
    Any help or ideas? I dont really wanna use the old bios.
    EDIT: I tried removing CMOS battery, resetting CMOS, and using the second to last BIOS, still no DDR400.

    rakstr,
    Since I now have two boards with memory setup restrictions (see stats) from MSI, I decided to work the problem with my own fix.  That's Danno's "don't get mad, get even-better-results policy".  I had a choice of hacking the Bios or something more entertaining...... 
    Last night, I wrote a PCR File for the AMD Athlon 64 memory controller, i.e. the Hypertransport bridge.  I googled to find one, but apparently no one's bothered to write one.  I'm doing alpha testing now with the PCR, and the results have been good.   Are you familiar with H. Oda's WPCREDIT/WPCRSET utilities?  I see some of the folks in this Forum have been using it to toggle 1T/2T Command Rate.  Since Memtest86+ can provide alterations to settings on the fly to establish best memory tweaks with stability, I'm now able to recreate any of those settings with WPCREDIT from within Windows.  I had fun last night tweaking a setting with WPCREDIT running on screen side-by-side with the memory window from CPU-Z.  As I'd tweaked a setting, CPU-Z would almost immediately update (on it's own) to the altered setting....fun fun.    It was good verification of the PCR.  I do have more testing and documentation to do.
    I need a beta tester/volunteer in a day or so.  Are you interested?  Are you familiar with those utilities?

  • [ solved] K8MM-ILSR Bios 3.8 how to force AGP 4X Mode ?

    Hi all,
    like a lot of people, I've some problems with my 9600 radeon and my mainboard.
    Using games usually end with a freezing black screen.
    I've updated my system (ATI drivers, VIA drivers et.c), checked for PSU, temperatures and disabled fastwrite without success.
    My brand new mainboard was shipped with a bios version 3.8 wich is not availlable on the MSI site.
    I would love to try to set the AGP mode to 4X except that when plugging my 9600, The only setting is AUTO, when plugging my old 7500 the setting goes to 4X.
    Does anyone know if there is a vay to overide the AUTO setting or if an older version of BIOS support it ( 3.7 ?).
    Thanks for your feedback.
    Edit : I've forced AGP 4X in Catalyst Control Center and now it works fine even if this option is not availlable in the BIOS.
