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

Hi,

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 & ATI 9x00 Radeons - AGP 3.0 no go

I know that MSI says they tested out the kt400 Ultra with the ATI radeon 9700 and had no problems, but I can tell you that I and several others that I have spoken with over at Rage3d cannot run the Via 4 in 1 drivers that have the new AGP 3.0 driver without hard locks in any d3d apps and games.
I have tested this out on both 3dmark 2001 and UT2003
with fast writes on and off and various other bios settings as well as various catalyst drivers. The current workaround is to run the WinXP agp driver. This is a less than perfect solution as I lose AGP texture acceleration as well as fast write ability, plus I doubt the AGP bus is running at full capability.
Is MSI aware of this issue? If so, can we expect a fix for it relatively soon. I really like my board and this is the only issue I have had with it.
Any input from MSI gurus would be appreciated!
Thank you

fact of life its via write the 4 in 1 drivers and them that will provide a fix if one comes,same as nvidia do the chipset drivers for board im using
basically what you said is whats in faq thread above

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?

Please help
Thanks A lot

Same thing here...

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.

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!

Will this card work? - Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card

I posted a question about getting the maximum resolution from an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display and another card, which didn't work.
The replies were fast here in the forum and quite correct.
My next question is regarding the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card.
I have an AGP card with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro card that can't power the 30 inch because it's only 64MB and no DVI output.
I'm wondering whether this card will give me the maximum resolution?
Thanks again.

Hi Japamac-
Thanks for the quick reply.
My System Profiler indicates a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, but it doesn't have the Dual Link since this is an older G5 with only 64MB of VRAM.
The GeForce 6800 is a refurb, but is Mac compatible.
I'm hoping that it will work, but since it won't be returnable, I don't want to spend the money needlessly.
I did order another card that the Apple support suggested should be compatible, but turned out that they sent me the PC version.
I've spoken to Apple as well and get conflicting info.
It boils down to the fact that this is a G5 with a late 2004 date.
It is fast enough for me and my only hang up is that I'm only getting 12980X800 resolution.
I'm not using it for gaming or graphics processing.
HTH.

MSI-6712 KT400 Ultra, AMD Processor Problems

HI!
I recently bought an MSI-6712 KT400 Ultra motherboard for an AMD 2400+ XP processor. I loaded up the PC and in the BIOS its pickup its a 1500+ and the same in windows XP Pro.
Is there some sort of BIOS update or something.

KT4 ULTRA : CPU fan & AGP mode

Hello,
I have 2 problems :
1)Each first starting of my computer, there is 6 or 8 rings and it's written :
CPU fan isn't running? Y/N
In reality, the fan is running correctly, but it is thermoregulated.
This fan is connected to CFAN1 and I have another fan system in NBFAN1
Do you have a solution for this problem?
2)In my KT4 MS-6590 V1.0, I have the last VIA Chipset Drivers 4.51 and I have a new graghic card Hercules 3D Prophet 9600SE.
In the Bios, AGP MODE is in AUTO (grey), I can't change.
In reality, I saw it's AGP*2 or AGP*4, but not *8.
The informations in the Bios AGP Timing Control are :
AGP MODE : Auto
AGP Fast write : Enabled
AGP Aoerture Size : 256MB
AGP Master 1 W/SWrite : Disabled
AGP Master 1 W/SRead : Disabled
AGP Read Synchronization: Disabled
Can you tell me the reason why I can't affect 8 for AGP MODE
Thanks for your answer
Giro
WIN2K PRO SP4
KT4 ULTRA - MS-6590 V1.0
Hercules 3D Prophet 9600SE 128Mo (Driver Catalyst 4.1)

Thanks for your answers.
Richard_2003, you are right, in the control panel, it's running at 8x.
OK for the mode "AUTO" in the Bios.
For the fan, it's good like this

KT4 Ultra-sr and AGP 8X

Here's the issue:
I can't get my board to recognize that I have an 8X aGP video card.
I have KT4 with AMI BIOS 1.0 (have tried 1.1)
VIA 4in1 drivers with AGP 3.0 support
Radeon 2.4 catalyst drivers
Tech support says to set AGP timing option in BIOS to "AUTO" ...... HOWEVER! this option does not exist in my BIOS regardless of version!
Powercolor video card tech support denies any AGP timing limitation on their card and insist it should be recognized as 8X
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!
[size=11]I have the following setup:
MSI KT4 ultra-sr
Athlon XP 2200+ (thouroughbred core)
512 mb pc2400 Samsung ram
350 watt tgi silent power supply
IBM 60 GXP deskstar 7200 rpm HD
16x pioneer dvd
24x philips cd-rw
powercolor evil commando radeon 9000 pro 128 mb
golden version (supposed to be 8X agp)
liquid cooled server case w/ xtra stealth case fans. [/SIZE]

i admire your determination, but believe me its going to be a lot easier (and cheaper) to just buy another board. its not as easy as "finding the correct controller chip" and getting the soldering iron out. i certainly don't think you can just "buy" a single IEEE1394 controller IC off the shelf anywhere, and there's some VERY precise soldering in place, possibly through several layers too.
as an alternative suggestion, you could always change your PCI network adapter to a USB type, then you could use a IEEE1394 PCI card
