Mega PC 180 Bios problems
well i have updated my bios with live uptdae 3 and it was not a brilliant idea ..now all my fan are working at max power (nice noise ) ... so if someone can save the origianl bios of mega pc 180 (using flashwin) and send it to me ...it could be very coool... so i hope somebody can help me
Take a look: bios 3.30 has been released.
I've it and my fan works without problem.
Be warned: if you have an old cpu maybe it's without thermal sensor and if it's so the fan will work at max speed.

Hi,
I recently reinstalled windows Xp on my PC180. During backing up data of the old xp instal the audio quitted on me. I ignored it while i was going to reinstal everthing.
Now I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 and I can't find the right driver to enable the sound again :S. I believe I have the soundstorm audiochipset onboard. Has worked fine fore 2 years, but now i don't have sound anymore... :(.
Can someone give me the correct driver for my pc, I lost my driver cd during time i guess....http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_audio_4.62_win2kxp.html

Mega PC 180 Problems when turned off...

The problem consists of that when I turn off the computer for more than a day when I then turn on the computer doesnt find my the inbuilt soundcard. Sometimes I have to re install it and sometime I just have to turn off the computer pull out the powercoord put it back and reboot.
This only happends then the computer is turned of for a longer period of time (More than a day)
Anyone with a solution och with the same problem ?i remember someone suggesting disabling the built-in modem in BIOS if it is not being used

Note that the intake of the cpucooler gets blocked by the Radeon, so the reason is obvious
A pretty common trick used on Biostar SFFs (which are even smaller than the 180) is to add two Zalman 80 x 15 OP1 fans to the side panels. Left panel toward the front and right panel toward the rear. This gives a good cross ventilation flow and when you run the fans on the low voltage setting-----it is totally silent---so you haven't added any noise to the overall setup.
Drops CPU temps 4-5 C. Might work on the 180. You can see an example of the side panel fans----as well as another possible solution, watercooling, here:----just scroll through all the pics to find the fan solution...SFF Fans and Watercooling

GTX 660M black screen with Nvidia driver, maybe a BIOS problem
Hello Svet,
I need help with this please, if it is indeed a BIOS problem:

My laptop uses the Aptio Setup Utility Version 2.10.1208

Ok, from you're answer I understand that flashing the GPU with a compatible vBIOS is either not a solution for the problem,
yes don't think that can help for this case
and also will be high risky to brick your card
and even if its not bricked[survive flashing] don't think that can change anything
eventually you can try flashing your system notebook BIOS to the latest version for your notebook,
to check if that can helps by chance.
For it you have to ask your notebook vendor [power notebooks]
to provide you with the latest BIOS for your NB
rather than this don't think any modded stuffs can help with this. -
I see video on TV with MEGA PC 180

First of all: Download the latest Nvidia drivers from http://www.nvidia.com

[Mega PC 180 Deluxe] Media Center III shows widescreen AVI in stretched fullscreen
Hey Guys,
I need some advice. I have Media Center Deluxe III running on my Mega PC 180 Deluxe and it works just fine... except for one titty bitty thingy:
All my DiVX widescreen films are stretched into fullscreen mode. Ergo, all of the film is stretched (long heads and stuff...)
How can this be prevented or solved, because it really is annoying.
Plz Help me with this!Quote

That may not be it----it may just be a TV setting----but it's the only thing I can think if.
Good Luck,
John
I believe that function is only for viewing the videos from the preview window to fullscreen. I don't think it enables/disables "stretch mode" but i'll try that tonight.
if it works i'll post it here. if not ... well .... same thing i guess -
Mega TV Tuner for Mega PC 180 giving a clicking sound
Can anyone help me, I bought the Mega TV tuner for the Mega PC 180 and all I get is picture, but no sound except a clicking sound? I have tried downloading the latest drivers, which make no difference.
I am Totally annoyed
PC : Mega PC 180
OS: XP Pro SP1
Processer: AMD XP 2800+
Ram: 512 DDR333
HDD: 120Gb
DVDwriter: Pioneer A07Few things to check.
If the sound software is the same as the 865 , make sure you haven't configured your sound card to 4 way sound (if you have then the line in will become your second set of speakers) If you need 4 speckers then plug the cable from your TV card into your mic. Again I am unsure of the TV card so if it has an internal sound cable connection then this would be the best to use and plug it in to the TV sound socket on board.
Next you need to make sure what source you have pluged it into is not muted. Normally when the software mutes the card it mute the line that the card is meant to come in on. So start up the software then check this input.
Last how have you set up the software as this need to know the import. Normally it is line in but this is not always the case. -
I would like to purchase a Mega PC 180 with a TV tuner.
Is TV@nywhere Master card the only tv tuner compatible or other cards such as Personal Cinema FX5200 are also compatible ?
A last question : What kind of fan do you install on such machine ?
Thanksthe recommended TV tuner is the Mega TV Tuner (MS8606-40) as it is a more compact size and comes without the FM tuner
as i couldn't find one anywhere in the UK, I went for the TV@nywhere Master (MS8606), which is virtually the same card, only a different size and with an FM tuner (which isn't used anyway)
it fits, but you'll find its a bit of a tight squeeze to get in
as for your question about the fan, there is no need, the mega pc comes with everything you need - except the cpu, memory, hard drive and optical (CD/DVD) drive... -
Mega 865 - HiFi Button problems !
Mega 865 - HiFi Button problems.
Hi,
I recently had some problems with the LCD display on the 865 and after
following the very technical (wiggle the power cable) instructions, i got
the LCD display working again, but now my HiFi button doesn't work
has anyone experienced this before ??
The radio/lcd display works fine in media centre
cheers.I refer to this post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=66148
I did this and the LCD display came back on again but now the hifi button doen't work -
MSI GT70 (0NE-452) Refuses to Boot/random shut downs - BIOS problem?
Hello,
I recently purchased a MSI GT70 0NE-452 laptop from Xotic PC. It came with Windows 8, but since Windows 8 broke most of Adobe Premiere, Vegas, and After Effects, I wiped the RAID0 SSDs and installed Windows 7. I've reinstalled all the drivers and have been comfortably setup for about a week or 2. Unfortunately now, the laptop has been behaving strangely.
1) Random shutdowns, regardless of whether I'm connected to power or not. And I know it isn't because the battery died. (This might be fixed now since I downloaded another driver for the CPU Thermal Control)
2) Laptop won't turn on first-try. I press the power button and the power button flashes orange but nothing happens. It will only turn on once I've removed the battery and put it back in.
I have a feeling this could be a BIOS problem, and possibly attributable to the Windows 7 reformat, but I'm not sure. My BIOS is currently: American Megatrends Inc E1762MS.50U, 11/23/12.
The MSI website for my model has a Bios update:
Release Date: 2012-12-14
Description: Fix HDMI/DP hot plug no function after S3 resume
Non-Win8
E1762IMS.30R
Can someone please advise? Should I try my hand at flashing the BIOS with this update and hope it solves the problem, or should I just call MSI and get it fixed by them?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much!I'll take your advice but can you clarify a bit? Is it something beyond a BIOS repair?

bios problem on msi k8t neo via chipset..
my pc was perfectly working , but this morning after when i booted if findid i surprise..
my pc didn't started: "boot failure..."
from the bios is disappeard the first hd....
the bios recognize the slave hard drive and the one set on the 3° ide raid channel.
the firs hard disk and the two dvd device set into the second ide channel are not recognize and into the standard cmos features are set "not installed"
clear the bios wwith the jumper on the mainboard didn't solved the problem...
if you kou what is happend...
(i don't think that it's an hard disk problem...)Disk was a Win2K NTFS Dynamic disk, so I extracted all the data onto the other disk in another computer, vaped the partition and turned it back to "Basic" style disk (I think this removes MS's extensions to the partition table) before unplugging. Then put it in the AMD64 box, created partition & formatted to Ext3 with Linux tools, so I think there's nothing wrong there.
The jumpers & cable are as you recommend - originally the master was in the middle of the cable, but I'd already swapped it last night in an effort to see if the cable connector was at fault. It's just the intermittant failure (about every other cold boot or so) which pisses me off (reminds me of all those random memory failures, before I limited to DDR333). As I said above, I'll replace the cable when I turn off tonight & see what that does.

MS-7235 Virtualization BIOS problem
I'm running Ubuntu Linux and am unable to run virtual XP because of a BIOS problem. Currently, I have the original BIOS which was Phoenix 1.1. Does anyone know if I update the BIOS if they resolved this issue?
Thanks for the reply.
I think it is a BIOS problem because installing a virtual XP machine within Ubuntu results in an error stating that the BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant. I thought that since I have the original BIOS installed that updating it to the current one might resolve the error. This computer should support virtualization.
Also, it is a little tough to determine the exact BIOS to update with at MSI. A number of motherboards come up when I search for MS-725. None of them have Phoenix BIOS

G580 (20150) Running slow, Bios problem
Hello
I got a little problem with my lenovo g580.
Not a long time ago i downloaded the bios update from the site and I did everything right but after my laptop restarted I got the message that said that I have to put in the disk of some sort so I checked on the internet if there is something I could do about that. I went to bios and changed the boot option to Legacy BIOS boot mode but after that everything worked fine but after that I noticed performance decrease on the laptop (Longer boot and longer wait time to open programs for about 1st few minutes after the boot).
I would like to use Lenovo recovery program to recover system setting to the factory setting but IM scared to do that cause of the bios problem I had.
I would really like someone to help me with this problem.
Best RegardsHi SloAki,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the computer is not performing as expected, I suggest you to perform the below steps provided to increase the performance of the computer then perform OKR (One Key Recovery) if required if the issue persists even after performing the troubleshooting steps.
Optimize Windows for better performance
Click here to download User Guide and perform OSRI (Operating System Re-Install) using OKR (One Key Recovery) by clicking on NOVO button provided in the computer, to perform OSRI and refer page no. 2 to locate the NOVO button and page no. 34 for the steps to perform OKR.
NOTE: Please backup the data in the computer before performing OSRI, as the data will be completely erased.
Hope this helps!!!
