MEGA 865 RAM SUPPORT

Does my mega 865 supports 2 gb of kingston ddr? Exactly i have ordered 2 X 1 GB 400 DDR (model: KVR400X64C3A/1G)!! Please answer me because i am afraid that it doesn't       

Have you checked your XP Eventlog, I had a problem like this also and it turned out BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) gave the problem.  (and booted my PC)
I had to upgrade to BITS 2.0 and now I'm running like a charm.

Also, before I assembled my PC I had a look at
http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ to calculate the wattage needed.
I'm assuming the configuration in your .sig and I'm getting to 265 watts for your configuration with 3.2 prescott . (Hardly any difference with mine)

  • Anyone want a Mega 865?

    I've got a Mega 865 that has (again) died.  Can't remember the actual CPU in the machine and have been too fed up with it to remove it to see.  I know it's some sort of P4 - I think around 1.6ghz.  MSI has consistently failed to support this product in my case, and I've been unable to get support from MSI yet again.  The original unit was DOA 2 years ago.  This unit was somewhat flaky all this time (repeatedly had to unplug and replug unit for front panel to work.  It has 512mb Corsair DDR memory in it.
    Anyone interested in buying it for pennies on the dollar with or without CPU and RAM?  I'm not going to waste any more time on it.  I want to keep the drives.  The unit doesn't have a single, solitary scratch or blemish.  I do have the original remote (though I never used it).

    Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.

  • Media Center DVD 'Stutters' on MEGA 865

    Hi
    I am an IT professional, but I am a newcomer to the MEGA series PCs.  I bought a MEGA 865 Delux for a 'computer newbie' friend as payment for a favour, and I am in the process of configuring it all now.  
    Spec is
    MEGA 865 flashed to bios 1.2
    MSI DVD Player DR8-A2 BIOS 1.6
    NO TV CARD (yet)
    Win XP PRO SP2
    512MB RAM
    Celeron 2.0GHz (yes I know, but I had a new one going spare, it'll do for now)
    I have applied ALL latest drivers
    I have applied ALL latest BIOS patches
    Windows XP is fully patched up to SP2
    I am currently running in 1024x764 Truecolour 70Hz mode.
    Everything works great, my friend should be really pleased with it  ... except  
    MEDIA CENTER III !!!  
    Now that was kind of the idea of buying the MEGA PC, my friend could use it with the remote control for DVD, Radio etc etc, but when I play a DVD using the media center it 'stutters', the video and sound are interrupted and it really is unwatchable.
    Looking at the CPU resource is see that it is strained to 100% utilisation.
    If I run the same DVD Movie with PowerDVD (came with the MSI DVD Drive), or even with Windows Media Player, it plays beautifully and the CPU is comfortably down at 40% utilisation.   Unfortunately the remote seems to do nothing for PowerDVD.
    Is anybody finding that the Media Center works great on their system? (if so, what's the secret?)
    Has anybody else encountered similar problems to mine?
    Does anybody know how I could fix the problem so that when I present this great new system to my friend as an expression of my gratitude, it is not 'flawed'?
    Please help if you can, I would like to deliver the system in the next couple of days.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks for the advice everyone.
    After much searching I found the elusive registry changes and applied them to my system.  Unfortunately these changes made no discernable difference to the DVD playback.
    While I appreciate that there are a number of Open Source projects in development (dependant on 'Girder', pay software that still does not appear to FULLY replace the advertised functionality of the Remote/LCD/Radio etc), and also alternative products that I could purchase, I do not feel that I should have to buy these to make my MEGA media center PC play DVDs.  
    It's not as if the inability to play DVDs is a minor issue in a Media Center.  It's fundamental!!
    If it will not work as a media center PC 'as supplied' then it seems to me that I should return it to the retailer and buy a 'Shuttle PC' for much less money.  I could spend the savings (I reckon on about £70) on a better CPU or just pocket the difference.  Features and software that do not work are of little use to anybody.
    With all due respect to you all, if everybody who bought the system and had these problems returned it to the store as 'not fit for purpose' then I suspect MSI would have resolved the issue long ago.  It seems to me that end user tolerance has resulted in MSI's indifference.
    If I have no fix by Thursday then it's back to the store.
    I have mailed MSI Tech Support, hopefully they will come up with something as the system looks great otherwise.
    Still open to suggestions that do not include 'break up the CD' or 'buy this other software'.
    Thanks
    Steve

  • Prospective Mega 865 buyer with a few questions...

    I'm looking into upgrading my Home PC, and I really like the small form factor of the Mega 865. My main goal is to have a very quite computer (my current PC has a noisy Maxtor hard drive), and the small form factor is a real plus. Here are a few questions:
    1) How quiet is the Mega 865? Is the power supply fan very quiet?
    2) If I use a Northwood 3.0 GHz CPU, do I need to buy a standard cooling fan or does the Mega 865 have it's own CPU cooling fan system? If so, how quiet is this fan?
    3) What's the highest screen resolution that the Integrated 865G Video can output in True Color?
    4) Can I fill one of the two memory slots with a single 512 MB module, or do I need to fill both slots with a module?
    If anyone can help answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Any other comments would also be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    ppcinfo

    i don't have a mega 865 personally, but i'll try and answer what i can.
    1) the mega 651 was very quiet under normal loads, you'd only hear the cpu fan whirr faster when the cpu was getting hot. i imagine its the same on other megas.
    2) all the megas come with their own custom designed heatsink and fan, i doubt you'd get anything else to fit. BTW the northwood is probably a better bet than the prescott, as they don't run as hot
    3) i don't know about the mega 865, but i recently built a PC for my mom, based on the Aopen XCCube EY65, which uses the same intel 865g chipset as in the mega 865 (only doesn't support any prescott cpus  ). it runs on her 18.1" tft in 1280x1024 in truecolour mode, but only allows for a max of 16mb shared VGA memory. as she don't play games (she's an architectural glazing designer, using AutoCAD) thats fine for her.
    4) you can just use one stick of RAM if you want, but stick to some good stuff, cheaper generic RAM usually causes problems on MSI mobos
    thats my tuppence worth, can any mega 865 users clarify anything for us?

  • New Mega 865 Problems

    Really need some help here, something is going horribly wrong.
    Right heres the spec:
    Brand new Mega 865 Deluxe version
    a 512MB module of Geil PC3500 Golden Dragon Ram
    P4 3Ghz Northwood 800FSB
    Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti4600
    Western Digital IDE 8MB Cache 160Gig Hard Drive: set to Master
    Nec 8x DVD Double Layer Dual R/RW IDE BLACK Burner OEM: set to Master
    I'm trying to install Windows XP Home onto it, I have two legit versions, one with SP1 and one with SP2 and neither of which are working correctly.
    The version with only SP1 on it says the partition on the harddrive isn't XP compatible please delete and create a new one (so I do) when I do this I get same message over and over again, never ending cycyle.
    The version with SP2 installs only to hard drive fine after a full NTFS format but it gets to the stage where it restarts your PC at the end of the installation where it stays in dos. What it should do is load up into the GUI final part of the installation, it doesn't get this far. Instead i get the message "Disk bot failure, insert system disk and press enter."
    As for updating the bios, the whole process seemed really complecated when you can't get into windows to do it through MSI's utility and don't have a floppy disk drive because you have the deluxe version. Also I'm not even sure I can update the bios without windows even installed, I made an emulated boot cd with the dos flashing utility and new beta bios on but that isn't working either.
    I have tried changing around jumper settings and bios settings including boot device prioritys etc but it's not getting me anywhere. I had heard good things about this shuttle and don't really want to have to return it but this forum is pretty much my last resort.
    Any help apprechiated, thanks.

    I guess rkoppen is right (although I've never dealt with XP home edit, and in my "vanilla" XP pro setup the card reader did not interfere)
    On previous OS-es supporting NTFS there always was a chance to select additional 'stroage" devices where to install the system into.
    Other thought - when setup proposes to delete/reformat existing partitions, it usually shows the available size (at least that is/was so with NT4 and Win2k, and XP Pro) Is the indicated size anywhere in the neighborhood of the HDD capacity you have? (probably not, if you try to "reformat" an empty card reader )

  • Mega 180 or mega 865??

    ok
    planning to get a mega but which one should i get? intel or amd chipset?
    this is wat i would get but i can only chose one
    Mega 180
    AMD XP 3000+ barton 333fsb
    Samsung 2x512 ddr400
    120-160 hd (either Maxtor or Seagate)
    and fx5200, 9600xt, or gf6200 or any card that support dual monitor and can handle games from time to time
    OR
    Mega 865
    P4 2.8ghz (prescott) 533fsb
    Samsung 2x512 ddr400
    120-160 hd (either Maxtor or Seagate)
    and fx5200, 9600xt, or gf6200 or any card that support dual monitor and can handle games from time to time
    so which one should i get? amd or intel? i'll be using it mostly for listening to mucis, watch movies, internet, and some gaming from time to time
    i'm leaning on amd cuz it's gonna be cheaper but then intel's gonna be better @ multitasking which i like
    and as for the ram, it can run dual channel right?? or it cant??
    anyways give me some suggestions guys
    thanks

    closing as requested, as the topic starter has gone for the 180
    the 865 only has problems installing SP2 with a Prescott core CPU and BIOS not updated to latest version. if upgrading from SP1a, there is a hotfix from Microsoft to fix the problem too.

  • SATA Hard Drive no longer recognized by Mega 865

    I recently put together an MSI Mega 865 barebone system with the following specifications:  
    Processor: Intel 3.2c Ghz (Northwood core)
    Hard Drive:  Western Digital SATA 10kRPM Raptor
    Memory: 1 GB (2 x 512MB) Kingston 3200 (400Mhz)
    DVD Player: Plextor 8X DVD RW
    Video Card:  HIS Excalibure 9800Pro 128 MB
    OS:  WinXP
    Finally got everything up and running, and then I went to boot up, and the system can no longer find the SATA harddrive.  In fact, it's not even an option in the BIOS now.  
    My question is the following:  
    Would the SATA be available all of the time, or only if a SATA enabled harddrive was recognized?
    When the system is first powered on by plugging the power cord into the wall, the hard drive makes a small amount of noise, as if it's spinning a bit.  When the computer starts up, there is no noise at all, although the hard drive does get warm (which makes me think there is power to the unit).  
    I tried the 2nd power supply (old IDE) for the hard drive, but that provided that same results as the SATA power supply.
    There were some inconsistencies with my mega 865 prior to this.  First, the HIFI would randomly lock up, and the only way to get it back was to unplug the computer from the wall.  2nd, it had lost communication on the serial port (why, I don't know).  3rd, and final, it doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive (or my hard drive is ruined).
    Can someone help me out here, I'm not sure whether to return my HardDrive, my MSI Mega 865, or both.

    The system worked for 4 days or so.  One day, I started it up, and it couldn't boot because it couldn't detect the SATA drive.  When this happened I decided to flash it to the the latest BIOS, but even this did not help.
    The unit had problems before, it would lock up on initial power up, the HIFI/CD/DVD would not respond (when the computer was not on of course).  I would have to plug and unplug the unit 3 or 4 times before it would power on and not lock up.
    I contacted MSI support, and explained my problems.  They told me to return the unit to the reseller.  I'm not sure if the problem was the unit, the hard drive, or both, so I went ahead and returned the HD and the MSI unit.  It'll be another 2 weeks or so now before I get my computer up and running.  :(

  • Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865

    As I am seeing a lot of the same questions regarding the Mega 865 I created this document,
    29-Oct-2004 Added Northwood benefits
    29-Oct-2004 Emphasized NOT to use live update for bios update
    Processors in general
    Start with the processor, I would say get something around 3 gighz (give or take) which is quite affordeble. If you are going for a prescott, make sure you upgrade your bios to 1.3 (see below).It will run a bit hot (understatement) otherwise.
    If going for northwood any version is ok I believe. When I chose mine I let $$$ descide, and the prescott was on sale. (If I would buy a CPU for the Mega again, I would most likely go for a Northwood this time). Before buying your processor make sure your processor is supported, you can find the supported processors here;
    http://cweb.msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
    Harddisk
    As for Harddisk, I would suggest anything goes but take a serial ata since that is becoming the new standard nowadays.
    When buying a HD larger than 130 Gig, make sure you install from a Windows XP SP1 CD (or higher) or divide your HD in smaller pieces. Otherwise you will not get a bigger partition than 130 Gigs.
    DVD/CDROM
    As for DVD/CD player, there is a special thread (see below) where everyone states if their DVD/CD player is working with the mega (there are some issues with some drives in HiFi mode, EVEN if they are MSI)
    Mega PC barebones optical drive compatibility list
    Memory
    As for memory, get at least 512 Mb or 1024 Mb if you want to sit cosy. two sticks of DDR400 (a.k.a 3200) will do. Get a a-brand like Kingston, Samsung or look around on the forums what will work.
    Installing Windows XP
    Before installing Windows disable your USB devices, if you fail to do this you run the chance of not installing Windows XP on your C: drive (harddisk) and this will cause you trouble later on. After installation is complete you may enable them again.
    Prescott processors & full size AGP cards
    As for the GPU (Graphics card), this depends on what you are going to do with it. If you wanna try out at showshifting, and viewing get one with integrated TV tuner. Or use the on-board (some people are quite happy with it) and add a separate PCI tv tuner. If you wanna do hefty gaming (Doom3, Far Cry ... etc) you may want to get an better one. I'm quite happy with my Radeon 9800.
    Please note; According to MSI, Prescott processors in combination with full-size AGP (add-in) cards are not supported. This is most likely a power issue since the full-size cards use a lot of power to run. Some forum members, stuborn as they are, are running with a full-size card.
    Also note that you are installing a full-size card on your own risk in combination with a Prescott processor.
    To calculate your estimated power supply take a look here;
    http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
    The following graphics cards seem to be working (please add to this thread if you have tested a full-size card with a Prescott processor so I can add it to this document)
    Club3D Radeon AIW 9800 PRO
    ATI Radeon ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT
    ATI Radeon 9800 SE
    AOPEN Aeolus 5900XT 128 Mb
    Wise words from Stu:
    If you do not want to take chances, go with a Northwood processor. Apperantly there is little perfomance difference between a Northwood and a Prescott processor, and the Northwood runs slightly cooler too.
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 & Bios Update
    When installing Windows XP with SP2 make sure you have the latest Bios version loaded (1.3) or install a Microsoft work-around fix. SP2 will not install without it, and you will have a hard time getting your system to work.
    The Microsoft work-around fix can be found here;
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885626
    The latest bios version can be downloaded here;
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
    To install the latest bios, I would advise against using live-update. Use one of the following options instead;
    1) Burn a bootable CD-Rom also containing the bios and flash software, (note some of the original Win98 CD's are bootable to MS-DOS prompt)
    2) Create a bootable USB-memory key
    --- Download the HP util to create one
    --- http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20306.html
    --- Then create a bootable floppy on an other system or download from
    --- http://www.allbootdisks.com/
    --- (I used the Win98SE No ramdrive )
    --- Then use the HP tool (on an system with an floppy drive) and enter a: as the source for booting,
    --- and use the above created floppy.
    --- Then copy the rest of the files from the a:\ drive (like autoexec.bat, config.sys etc) to the memory key.
    --- ... and ... voila one bootable USB
    --- make sure in the bios that the boot order of the USB key is before the Harddisk and your set to go.
    3) Attach a floppy drive to the Mega 865
    Bios update failure
    Some people still manage to goof-up their bios, by doing the bios update from windows (winflash, live-update). I think there is only one road to travel when this happens, you have to attach a floppy drive to your mega. Then follow the following instructions (Award bios)
    http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/boot.htm
    Good luck !
    PC-Alert
    Do not use the PC-Alert version from the MSI website as this does not work together with your Mega 865, instead only use the one on the CD-Rom that was supplied. In general even the supplied PC-Alert has caused a lot of grief (Taking up resources, reboot problems ... etc). If you choose to install PC-Alert, at least remove it from your start-up folder where it is installed. You can always start it manually from the MSI menu in your Start menu.
    A good alternative to Pc-Alert is Speedfan, this program should be able to spot your 2 temeperature sensored CPU fans. You can then connect these fans to the CPU temperature sensor and be able to tweak the RPM's according to your need. Speedfan 4.17 can be found here;
    http://www.almico.com/speedfan417.exe
    Temperatures
    As these tiny PC's have very little space, it is quite normal for them to run a bit hot. Do not be alarmed to see CPU temperatures around 60-65 degrees when running on load (depending on your processor of course).
    Wireless Network adapter
    As for wireless internet, the mega865 has a built-in mini-pci nic (network card). which supports only the 11 Mbps data rate. I think you have to try it out and see how it goes, you can always upgrade to 54 Mbps. I would suggest to get a 54Mbps access point, so you can always upgrade if needed (54Mbps will also work with 11 Mbps) Some forum members have succesfully replaced their Wireless Network adapters with a 54Mbps one. The following network adapters seem to be working;(please add to this thread if you have tested a wireless 54Mbps network adapter so I will add it to this document)
    Intel PRO/Wireless BG Network Adapter
    6 Channel sound
    I recently bought a 5.1 set from Soundblaster. You can connect the 3 connectors to the back of your Mega, then in the Sound util set it up for 5.1 surround sound and you are ready to go. Definately worth it !
    Reboot problems
    When you run into problems when the Mega reboots suddenly, watch out for a couple of things.
    Always check your event/log viewer. It is in your configuration management, but the easiest way to start it is to enter the following in your Run or Command line entry
    eventvwr /s
    Check if you see red-dots in your application section or system section. Google the problems before dropping them on the forum ! (As most problems are not Mega related IMHO)
    One problem I had was caused by BITS 1.5, I had to upgrade to BITS 2.0. (I think it was recently released by Microsoft-Update but I mention it anyway). Bits 1.5 caused my Mega to reboot.
    LCD Display / Sound problems
    If you have any problems where your front LCD display is not working or your on-board sound is 'missing' first try unplugging your mega from the power outlet (so completely powering down) for 2 minutes. If you still have problems, drop them on this forum.
    LCD API ?
    Alas, no external programs are available to 'drive' your LCD display. Nor will MSI release an API/Blue print on how to control it.
    If you find anything missing here or have additional tips, please add them to this thread and I will update this document.
    Good luck with your Mega !
    Raymond

    rkoppen i salute you  
    a truly glorious summing up of the main points asked about the Mega 865 in particular, although many points will invariably refer also to the other Mega series
    if i can add my tuppence worth, anyone considering going for a powerful graphics card can always shy away from the prescott
    i was reading an article just when the prescott core cpus came out and the review basically said that there wasn't really much performance wise between the new prescott and the older Northwood cores.
    obviously newer prescotts have higher clock speeds now (3.2? 3.4??), but surely a 2.8ghz CPU is still going to be powerful enough to play the latest games!! (in conjunction with a top graphics card obviously)
    is the extra temp increase surely worth the extra couple of hundred mhz?

  • 1 ghz G4 powerbook with 768 megs of ram, Leopard?

    Hi, should I update my 1 ghz G4 powerbook with 768 megs of ram with leopard? will it run faster or slower than the current OS which is 10.4.10.
    Thanks

    Good Afternoon,
    I'm afraid that is a question only you can answer based on your need for the new features in OS X 10.5 versus 10.4.10.
    Statistically, yes, you can upgrade to Leopard however with that limited amount of memory you may experience a less than ideal user experience from Leopard. If you do consider upgrading to 10.5 you will want to also budget in a RAM upgrade to the maximum supported amount by your Powerbook.
    Personally if I was going to spend that much money on an upgrade to 10.5, I'd consider saving my money a bit longer and just replace the equipment with something a bit newer such as one of the new Santa-Rosa MacBooks.
    Just my thoughts! 

  • Tvanywhere and Mega 865, install MSIPVS fails ..

    Was unable to find  a local source for the add in tv card for my MSI MEGA 865 and decided to use the TV anywhere card.  I was also interested in the NTSC and PAL support.   Everything went well until i tried to install the MSIPVS Software.  The drivers installed properly in step one, but in step 2 installing the MSIPVS software i received a "Setup failed to run installation: The remote procedure call failed".  I uninstalled the MEDIA Center Deluxe III program and removed all software except INCD.  I am running windows XP, 512 mb memory, 3ghz intel processor.  I removed the software and hardware and tried to reinstall several times, it made no difference and it failed in the same place.

    see threads in the Mega PC forum
    Windows XP has installed itself to the E: or F: drive because the card reader has taken C: and D: and in this case Intervideo software won't install correctly
    you're gonna have to disable the built in card reader (either unplug from inside, or disable USB controller in BIOS) format your hdd and reinstall windows to C: partition - not sure if Repair would fix it
    this happened to me the first time i built my mega 651 and it was SO frustrating, especially as everything else worked fine

    WD 160GB SATA
    WinXP (SP1) and Media Center Deluxe III
    everything working properly, but:
    if I got change TV chanel in Media Center - freeze whole system,
    and
    I have disabled background music, but radio playing everytime

  • MEGA 865 CPU heatsink FAN FAILURE.

    Got my Mega 865 less than six months ago, and the CPU heatsink fan is making annoying loud grinding noises.  
    Anyone know where I can get an adequate replacement FAST online in the USA? (I need it in
    The fan is the 60mm x 60mm x 13mm near the AGP slot, Delta Electronics model AFB0612VHC and the specs are DC12V 0.36A 28cfm 3pin motherboard connector.
    Is it worth contacting MSI Support? Can they FedEx me a fast replacement overnight? (If it's under warranty, great, if not, fine I'll pay for it.)
    Otherwise, the MEGA865 is great, I liked it a lot.  
    Config:
    ATI Radeon 9600 (fanless)
    Hauppauge PVR250MCE
    3.2 ghz Northwood
    250 GB Maxtor
    OEM NEC 2500A DVD RW black.
    and
    Windows Media Center 2005 (rocks)
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I got the MEGA from newegg.
    I'd rather MSI just mailed me a fan, not a whole heatsink. Bubble wrap one and drop it in a FedEx overnight envelop.
    Even if it's under warranty, I'd totally pay for a new one if I could get it fast.
    We're talking about a $15 item (+whatever FedEx overnight costs). I don't really care if I have to buy one myself. Unfortunately I looked on the web, and no one seems to sell this exact fan anywhere.
    Wow I'm impressed. I phoned MSI USA support, was on hold for
    Great job MSI support. I'm astonished it was this easy.
