I've performed the same problem.... and i'm trying to solve it definitively.
The TV out sometime gives color and sometime not.
I've checked the bios setting. I'll try now with "wrong" setting.
As i'll find a solution i'll post it.

  • MSI Mega 180 problems

    Hello all, i'm quite stuck on something and need some help.
    I have recently purchased an MSI Mega 180 deluxe and installed an pioneer a07 dvd writer in there, for some reason it won't let me burn cd's in audio cd format from wav files, which i need for my music studio.
    Also i constructed an external case to put an internet pioneer a03 dvd writer and did the same process and believe it or not i was able to burn a audio cd, so not sure what the problem is, could the msi mega 180 dislike my newer model of pioneer, or is the pioneer on it's way out, which i find strange as it's newer and quite new.
    I use nero to burn most of my cd's or dvd's which had no problem with when the dvd writer was on another desktop, it seems to get up to 26% and just freezes there, which the buffer level not moving at all.
    Hope someone can help, thanks

    Sounds like all of your drivers are not up to date....
    Here's what M$ has to say about it (shamelessly copied and pasted from another different website/board post).
    Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.
    Interpreting the Message
    This Stop message has four parameters:
    Memory referenced.
    IRQL at time of reference.
    Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
    Address that referenced memory.
    Resolving the Problem
    For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.
    Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
    For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.  
    Update Drivers
    Updated and comaptiable drivers are very important when running XP. Check your hardware with the HCL http://www.microsoft.com/hcl  If you hardware is not on the list it does not mean it won't work it just means it hasn't been tested by Microsoft and they won't Guarantee it to be compatible. If it not on the list check the manufacturer's website fo an up to date XP driver, if they don't have one you may be out of luck. This goes for motherboards and the bios too.

  • Mega 180 AGP and dead...

    Hi all,
    just checking to see if someone has any clues what's up with my machine. I bought an ATI x800 PRO last night, and put it in my Mega 180. All of last night I was playing far cry  just fine with "high" settings. The temperature went up to around 75, but seemed to be ok, no problems. I went happily to bed.
    This afternoon I decided to play at "very high" settings. After a while I got system message saying that the CPU was too hot and the machine was going to shut down. Getting this message stopped far cry and moved me back to the desktop. I saw that the temperature was already falling, so I didn't bother shutting down, just let it cool off for a while. I then tried running far cry on high  settings - like I did the night before - and again I got the heat warning. I searched the web for reasons, somewhere someone suggested updating the bios. I did using live update, no difference.
    So now I went to the BIOS and checked if I could somehow set the fan to always be on max, if nothing else this should make the system heat up slower. Didn't find anything like it. I found a setting for USB-keyboard though, activated this.
    At this point I realized I wouldn't be able to use my Mega180 with the card, so I took it out.
    From then on I have been unable to get even to POST. When I turn the machine on the fans start going, the harddrive and cd-rom makes some spin-up noises but nothing happens on the screen. The screen doesn't even realize that it's on.
    I have tried removing everything except the processor. I have tried reinserting the AGP card. I have tried with and without memory, harddrive, cdrom ... all with the same result, that is, nothing happens.
    Tried resetting the CMOS both through the JBAT1 jumper and removing the battery.
    Any ideas? I suspect something got messed up with the BIOS when I changed it, but if so, shouldn't resetting the CMOS fix it?
    Most of all, does anyone have any ideas for more things I could try? Has  anyone else seen anything like this? Could it have anything to do with the "hot" warnings? (Although I would guess not, those message should show up a while before it gets too hot... )
    Thanks,
    Mattis

    do you get display with the agp card in?
    when you removed the agp card, did you unplug the power cord?
    i don't know how much of this is true, but this is from a supposed PC technician. when the power cord is connected, standby power is going through the motherboard (true). apparently if you remove an agp card while standby power is present, it sort of screws up the agp port (including onboard, as it is shared).
    if you leave the pc unpowered (remove power lead) for about 12 hours, it should work again.
    please let me know if this works or not, so I can tell my pc technician buddy he is full of (or not, as the case may be)

  • Mega 180 CPU and memory

    Hi,
    I am just beginning to assemble a MEGA 180, and I'd need some help regarding the components.
    1) I will NOT use on-board video, so using 400 MHz RAM modules will be fine. Am I right? Do I have to change any jumper settings or the default BIOS settings because of that?
    2) Can I use a 3200+ CPU with 333 MHz without any problems? The official MSI info is that 3000+ is the maximum, but there were some references that 3200+ also can be used, if it is the 333 MHz version. Is it right? Did MSI "officially" admit this?
    3) Unfortunately, 333 MHz version of 3200+ is very difficult to find, most retailers have only the 400 MHz version. What should I do to make my system work with this CPU? Need some jumper setting change, and some BISO  mods? What to do exactly? I'm not an experienced modder by far, so a detailed guide would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Coix

    as far as i'm aware, the nforce2 chipset used in the mega 180 mobo only supports up to 333mhz FSB
    yes, an XP3200+ would work but only if it was the FSB333 version, if you can't get hold of one then an XP3000+ would be just as good, there's only a couple of hundred mhz difference in speed anyway, which you wouldn't notice
    and i would suggest sticking with DDR333 (PC2700) memory too, there's no point having faster memory if it unstables things, again the speed difference isn't visibly noticeable, make sure you buy two sticks of the same type and brand and run as dual channel for best performance - i recommend crucial, samsung or kingston, all have worked fine in msi boards i have used before

  • Mega 180, meedio and MCE compliant remote

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new to this forum.
    I own a Mega 180, Windows XP Pro, Home Theater III installed. I'd like to use Meedio as a front end instead of Home Threater III. I also own a MCE RC6 remote.
    The problem is that none of the remotes (MSI remote and MCE remote) cannot be used with the Meedio front end, simply do not work. Is there any way to put it all together to work? I've tried WinLirc with the Mega 180 configuration profile - no success, neither with the MSI remote not MCE remote. The goal is to use MCE remote only with Meedio front end on Mega 180. What software should I use and how to configure it? Any ideas?
    Kiero

    OK, I got my Mega 180 remote working with Girder. Now, how to make it work with Meedio? There is a Meedio program definition "Meedio Essentials.xml" file. I load it into Girder, but nothing happens. The Meedio plugin is not loaded into Girder memory in the settings tab (it is not present). Meedio Essentials.xml is only a configuration file, not a plugin...  Any help?

  • Mega 180 problems - definitive list.

    Folks - I thought it might be worth starting a single thread for capturing all the problems being experienced with the Mega 180.
    At the moment, I'm experiencing the following:
    The remote control isn't working for anything other than volume in PC mode.
    In Hi-Fi mode, CD audio is distorted.
    My TV card has stopped picking up TV channels (it worked initially but has since stopped).
    Media Center crashes whenever I select the music item.
    Media Center crashes whenever I attempt to do a picture slide show.
    I get no sound output from Media Center applications (Windows Media Player is working fine).
    I'm not able to get any FM reception from the radio (AM seems OK, frequencies are set correctly for my region - Europe).
    From reading through various postings, it seem other people are having the following additional problems:
    CD / DVD eject isn't working.
    USB keyboard and mouse aren't working (I'm using a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse through USB without problems).
    If anyone's had other problems or has any resolutions to these, post away.
    Regards,
    Grum.

    Following up yesterday's discussions,
    I tried re-installing WinPVR last night. The version I got on the InterVideo CD bundled with the TV card just doesn't install. So I then downloaded the 15-day trial of the latest version from Intervideo's website. This at least installedl. However whilst trying to tune in TV channels (with very little success), it repeatedly came up with a message informing me the trial period had expired and chucked me out. I wasn't prepared to pay for something I've supposedly already bought and doesn't appear to work.
    I've now given up on WinPVR.
    I then downloaded and installed ShowShifter. It seems to be pretty good. I've got TV tuned in and my music and picture libraries set up. I've had some issues with sound -  on TV channels I get a couple of minutes of sound then it dissapears. I suspect this is down to different applications modifying the sound settings. I'll investigate further - there's a couple of postings on the ShowShifter message board about this.
    Otherwise it seems pretty good - I should be able to get the remote working with it, possibly through girder. And the EPG support is good. If you've software development skills its pretty expandable and the message board is full of postings from the development team. Most importantly, it HASN'T CRASHED yet. I've un-installed Media Center for just now.
    Some of the problems I reported yesterday, I managed to resolve last night.
    I couldn't pick up TV channels because I had changed my input from 'Cable' to 'Antenna'. Although I am using an antenna, the card is only picking up signals on the 'Cable' setting.
    My sound output problems were down to the relevant channels being muted. A quick play about in Soundstorm sorted everything out - doh!
    I'll post further experiences with ShowShifter if anyone's interested.
    Cheers,
    Grum.

  • Mega 180: problems with startup

    Hello everyones, im not good at english, but im trying.
    well, here is the point:
    I just had bought an msi mega 180, and put some things inside in it:
    amd athlon xp 2400+
    2 x 256 DDR dimm pc2700 333mhz
    maxtor 120 gb
    msi cd-r/rw cr52-a2
    the promblem is:
    when i connect the power cord, the "pc" turn it self off after 2 seconds. the "standby-modus" with the clock and stuff is up and going, and the hifi stereo desplay is working  (i havent check the sound).

    My apologies of this has been covered already, and sorry to jump on back of this thread!
    Recently bought a Mega 180 and connected all components and went to start her up for the first time and was immediately hit with a screen displaying thick vertical gray bars with thin balck bars separating them.
    If I hit the reset or the power button the screen just changes to vertical colour bars but not uniform colour - sporadic pixels.
    I did the obligatory checks to make sure it wasn't one of my components:
    1) Checked with alternative RAM and CPU
    2) Checked each RAM and CPU configuration in different system
    3) Cleared CMOS and repeated checks
    and I still get the same error (on either of the display outputs).
    Is there any way I can sort this out or am I going to have to send it back and get another one (I can't figure out anyway of avoiding this yet). Will supply any info if needed.
    Thanks!

  • "that domain isn't allowed to be relayed thru this MTA " : Problem and fix

    I am using Java mail to send emails out at work through my web email account.
    Sometimes it works fine, but after a while, it gives me the following error :
    javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
    nested exception is:
    com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 553 sorry, that domain isn't allowed to be relayed thru this MTA (#5.7.1)
    at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.rcptTo(SMTPTransport.java:1196)
    at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:584)
    I waited for a few days, and tried one more time, it worked again for a few emails, then it failed again. I went into my Thunderbird where I had this web account set up so I can both send and receive emails, I tried to send out an email, it worked, then I used my Java email program to send email from work through this web account, it works again. It seems Thunderbird can fix the problem for me. Does any one know how I can fix it in Java so I don't have to start Thunderbird and send an email to fix the error ?
    Frank

    You're confusing things here by using your ISP's mail server at work instead
    of your work mail server.
    Still, your ISP's mail server is probably imposing similar restrictions as your
    work mail server. It doesn't want to allow just anyone to connect and send
    mail to anywhere. That's how spam is sent. Most people control this by requiring
    you to login to the SMTP server before it will let you send mail. Some people use
    the hack of requiring you to login to the POP3 server first, and then it will allow
    you to connect to the SMTP server without logging in and will allow you to send
    mail.
    You seem to be missing some basic understanding of JavaMail and what it
    means to "connect to a mail server". Maybe you don't understand the difference
    between a Store and a Transport. POP3 is a Store protocol. SMTP is a Transport
    protocol.
    The JavaMail demo directory is full of programs that should how to connect to
    a mail server (Store) to read messages, the most useful of which is the msgshow.java
    demo program. JavaMail doesn't require you to wire in knowledge of the Store
    protocol. You can write a program that can connect to any type of Store, and then
    tell it at runtime to use the "pop3" protocol. Looking at msgshow.java, if you pass
    "pop3" as the protocol argument ("-T pop3"), it will connect to a POP3 mail server.

  • Mega 180 reboot and freezing...PSU failure??

    I was browsing the internet,when my screen went black and the onboard speeker started beeping.
    I couldn't restart the system without a BIOS reset.All my temps are normal.
    After 5 minutes the screen went black again,but no beeping this time.
    BIOS reset again,and then I've checked my voltages.By the BIOS my 3.3v is only 3.23v.
    Under Windows the system monitor shows only 3.15-3.18 v.
    When I turn on or turn off the computer theres is a ticking sound from the PSU(from the bottom of it),which wasn't there before.
    If I start a game,the system just freezes.
    Is my PSU gone???
    ps:I'm using the onboard graphics and sound etc.

    to determine if the PSU is at fault, you can connect up a regular desktop ATX PSU. make sure the specs are the same or better.
    disconnect all the power connectors from the Mega PSU, then connect the ATX PSU while it is still outside the case. note that while testing with another PSU that the LCD display won't work and you won't get any sound either.
    you can run some tests for a while; if you don't get any freezing or restarts, then you know the PSU is at fault
    HOWEVER, the mostly likely cause of problems in all the Megas is OVERHEATING. when PSUs get too hot, their power output can drop, causing instabilities. use a program such as Speedfan to monitor your CPU and system temps

  • Menu Bar Time Machine icon displays a Question mark - Problem and Fix

    My MacBook over the weekend upon awakening from sleep showed that the Menu Bar Time Machine icon displays a Question mark. The external drive showed as mounted in the finder but repeated tries to Back up Now ended in Latest Backup Failed. Hmmm. Never saw that before. Did a restart and ran Disk Utility Verify Disk on the start up disk and it came out OK. So I then ran Disk Utility on the external FW backup drive and as soon as it reported that the FW disk was fine, Time Machine started up on it's own and did a back up and all is back to normal after leaving the TM drive attached the remainder of the weekend. All backups are back to working fine with no repeat of the problem.

    If for some reason the computer has trouble communicating with the drive it will report a failure when TM tries to back up, and will display that question mark. It's good you were able to fix it and get TM running again.

  • Mega 180 Wireless And Xp Sp2!!! Help!!

    Whenever I INSTALL a clean install of xp with SP2 integrated. Wireless drivers wont work. Not even when I try to add them manually!!
    Please HELP!
    [email protected]

    I'm having the same problem with newly installed Mega and internal wireless. Wireless USB adapter works fine... Although I found using USB devices raises the temp. about 3-4 degrees. So I really want the internal one to work.
    The problem I get is it cannot find my access point. I am using a netgear WGT624 set in 11b mode. Besides this computer I connect to this access point with a linksys pcmcia card and a lucent pcmcia card. Plus of course the Netgear wireless USB.
    The driver I am using is dated M2400.sys dated 12/05/03 although the date that shows up under xp driver props is version 1.12 dated 10/8/03.  I can't find a newer driver. The download page for the Mega180 has an older dated version although the contents are the same. I've installed and removed the driver several times. I've tried with and without  MS wireless service running.  Nothing changes. When I scan for access points it finds an extremely weak unshielded linksys that must be coming from a neighbor. But it is too weak (also varies in and out) to maintain a signal. So I believe the antenna is working...
    I suspect some imcompatibilty between the mini PCI wireless and my router.
    Any ideas ?
