KT400 Ultra & ATI 9500Pro

Does anybody know why you can't use the via agp 3.0 drivers with the radeon catalyst 3.0a drivers on this mobo. This causes crashes in d3d apps and games. I know of several people on the Rage3d forums who have the same setup with the same result. We have to use the stock XP via drivers in order for our systems to work properly.
I have tried both the via 4.42's and 4.45 drivers with the same result. Since other kt400 mobos can run this combo without issue, I am thinking this may be a bios issue for MSI to look into.
Any comments would be nice.
:D

i got two winxp installs, on my kt4 ultra and ati 9500np 128mb
on one of them the ati works great
on the other winxp the 4.45 didn't work, but when i installed 4.43 it started to work normally.

Kt400 ultra fisr power problems

I'm having a lot of problems getting my system running. I will first explain everything i have...then explain the problem...hopefully someone knows whats wrong or what i'm doing wrong if anything.
chieftec case w/ 450w power supply
athlon xp 2400+
kt400 ultra fisr mobo
samsung 512mb ddr 400
western digital 40 gig hd
maxtor 60 gig hd
lg cdrw
creative dvd rom
ati radeon 9700 atlantis pro
2 80mm fans
creative sound blaster audigy mp3+
this is my system
now the problem is when i first started only the fans on the computer would run.(cpu fan, 80mm fans and radeon fans...all ran) but nothing would boot...hard drive or cd roms would not start...no power at all to them. now nothing will run at all...the d-led indicator has one red light on lower right constantly. there are no sound beeps/flashing lights anywhere. Is this a mobo problem or power supply. I'm getting no video out of my radeon either, so even entering my bios is not an option. No power at all is going through the system anymore..only to the d-bracket. Which is very odd since i didn't really change anything at all...only rearranged the power cords inside. All parts are brand new... Any help on determining what is wrong with this is much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Wonka means, check if the JBAT jumper is set to position 1-2
If that's the case, read the trouble guide on top of the forum...

Thanks for all your help.
I tried that driver already...same result, but no matter.
I got this sorted today...went and bought 20 mts of ethernet cable, works a treat.
I've come to the conclusion that the USB WiFi Dongle is Kaput.
It looked like it worked in my laptop but this is already WiFi so I guess the new software was just using
the existing connection.
Dongle was never recognised in the desktop PC I wanted to use it in and in my other desktop was recognised as
Wireless USB Device but after trying to install it got to the same scenario where Windows could never find better drivers.
Just hope Ebuyer will take it back or the £8.50 it cost might bankrupt me!
Cheers

KT400 ULTRA 1.4 BIOS temp issue!

I have the MSI KT400 ULTRA board with AXP 1700+ JIUHB 0310 1.5V
with 1.4 i made oc from AXP 1700+ to 2083mhz and its on 26c only
With the 1.3 bios it tells me 37-38c
So wich bios is the right?
which bios tells me the right temp?
1.3 or 1.4 ?
Please help
Thanks A lot
Roman
Hwforce.com

Same thing here...
related post
I've switched back to 1.2 Overclockers out there take care
and don't be fooled. Best is to note the exact diference in degrees before and after ver 1.4. And if u have now 20* degrees and before you had 30* that means if you ever get past 40* is bad - you're running at 50*C )
Until now the temperature readings of MSI mainboards were very precised.

KT4 Ultra & ATI 9700 & Black screen HELP

Hi guys,
After first uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and then powering down and removing the Geforce 4 card, I installed a brand new ATI 9700 that I got from Mwave.com for $199.00. When I turn on the power all I get is a black screen - I can't see anything on the screen but I can see my computer trying to post by watching the lights on the drives and observing the D-Bracket.
The D-Bracket is indicating a system hang on "Testing base memory from 240k to 640k and extending memory above 1MB using various patterns". Led's 1&3 red and 2&4 green.
I did hook up the 12 volt adapter that came with the the board at two different locations just to make sure there was not a problem with power. I also checked for the presence of voltage at the adapter right at the card with a volt meter (12.3 volts). I also swapped the power connector from the floppy to the video card. The cooling fan on the card is coming on. I made sure the power connector was connected prior to powering up my system. I also tried clearing NVRAM. What is wrong??? Any ideas out there? Do I have a bad card right out of the box ???
For now I had put my Geforce4 Ti 4200 back in so I can use my computer again.
My current system & settings:
Antec case, 400w P/S +3.3/28amps +5/40amps +12/18amps
WinXP Home Sp2. Dx9.0a
MSI KT4 Ultra biosv1.4 (boot) 4x AGP (there is no 8x option in bios)/ Fast Write disabled & enabled/ AGP Aperture size 64&128mb, AGP voltage set to AUTO. NOTHING IS OVERCLOCKED fsb 166, cas 2.5

MajorDan

for one try removing one of your memory sticks,,try that first,,,make sure your fsb of the cpu and the memory are 166,,,,it will auto detect the 8x agp if the card suports it,,,,,,do you have the card setted all the wat,,,,,,,,,,double check memory settings,,this card i have found does not like fsb messed with or the memory fsb messed with.....set memory to spd,,,,good luck

KT4 Ultra & ATI 8500DV

I just built a new system (first time) using a KT4 Ultra motherboard. It was suggested by a friend who builts alot of computers. I want to do video capture and burn DVDs so he also suggested the ATI 8500DV. I read about it and like all the features.
System will not POST with ATI 8500DV. I bought a cheaper card (Pine 32MB 3D Phantom XP-2800) to get the system up and running while I try to debug the 8500DV. I have updated the AMI BIOS to 1.3. I also reduced the AGP to 2x. My FSB is set at 100.
Any suggestions on
HOW TO GET THE 8500DV WORKING?
I took the 8500DV card to a shop in town where I bought the Pine AGP card. He checked it on another motherboard with no problems.

I'm having problems as well with my aiw Radeon 8500dv on the KT4 ultra. I have everything updated except the bios Currently running v1.2. I can't seem to make a bootdisk that'll give me access to the C: drive so I can't update to 1.3 (got 1.2 through live update, and it created the bootdisk for me, don't understand why 1.3 doesn't showup there).
Originally I had problems with graphics not rendering properly in Dark Age of Camelot, other characters warping around or ghosting and world objects not loading, I've fixed that for the most part by getting help on with what everything in my bios should be set to. However, I'm also having trouble with DVD playback not working properly, I get constant artifacting on anything that moves.

ATI RX600 vs ATI 9500Pro

Hi.
Is the new rx600 chip from ati better than the old 9500pro chip?
and does it fit on old mobo's?
when will mobo's with PCI Express be released?

The X600 is basically a slightly improved 9600XT, so it is not a big step above your current 9500pro. Wait for the price of 9800pro to drop a bit, or wait even longer for X800pro to get affordable. Motherboards with PCI-Express are coming out within the next months. But don't rush out to get one, because PCI-Express is a development for the long haul with no real advantage this early on. Wait until you really need a new motherboard for other reasons.

KT400 Ultra + Radeon9500pro + Via agp 3.0 = no go

I hope some MSI people can shed some light on why the latest via agp 3.0 driver causes d3d apps and games to hard lock my system. I've spoken to several people over at Rage3d with the same basic setup and the problem seems pretty universal. The current workaround is to run the WinXp agp driver.
This is however, a slightly less than ideal setup. Doing so means I am not using my AGP bus to full potential and it disables AGP texture acceleration in DirectX.
Does anyone know if MSI is aware of this issue? I know that it works with Nvidia drivers cause my buddy has that setup (MSI mobo + GF4).
Hope to get some comments from MSI gurus, I really like my board, and this is the only issue I have with it.
Thanx

Kt400 ultra hanging when running wireless pci card with XP

I've tried installing two different wireless pci (802.11b) cards on my system. Windows usually hangs within 1 to 3 minutes. I've tried different pci slots, updating drivers, etc. No go. Can't find much on google, only thing I found was a possible conflict between wireless card and USB controllers.
Anybody have any ideas.
Thanks

Hi,
I've got the same issue with KT3 Ultra2 + XP2000, wireless NIC Netgear WG311.
Tried a lot of tuning, from Bios setting to driver options, but nothing worked.
I'm sure this is not related to PCI revision ( 2.1 or 2.2 ) because this is running
pretty fine on the same computer under Linux Mandrake 9.1
I tried every possible combination of PCI slot / driver / Bios setting ...!!!!
The problem now is that, in addition to having found not workaround, I still do not
know where the problem come from : VIA chipset, Netgear driver, AMi Bios, ....
Don't know if I should change the motherboard or the NIC, or just wait for ....???
Any suggestion will be welcome !!!!

If you want to use Raid, you must install drivers for that.
