Ms-6547

I,am having a serious problems with my ms-6547 motherboard,the problems during startup when you first switch the machine on it does not detect my harddrive and fails to boot,once you have reset the machine it then reads the drive ok and everything is fine.this happens every time you first switch on ;( anyone had the same problem or a cure,i have the latest Bios and am running p4 1.7 512 ddr msi 440mmx video card

sounds like a marginal psu to me not enough juice from cold,drives need over 2x juice to spin up they ever draw once running,try disabling fast boot,gives them more time to spin up while pc counts ram

Freeze during installation of XP with ms-6547

I bought a ms-6547 (MSI 645 Ultra-C) last year and tried to make it run at least once in vain!!!! The problem is that the computer freezes when loading the drivers during the installation of Win XP Pro and I still don't understand why... I gave up after one month work on it but last week I decided to try again. Here is my config:
-CPU: P4 1.6a fsb 400
-Bios: 3.3
-ram: 256 DDR 2100 Dane Elec (I have 3 modules so I tried them all they have hynix, samsung and the last one is winbond chips) tested with memtest during 48h (ok)
-HDD: IBM 20Go 7200rpm
-Graphic card: Geforce 2 Ti (leadteck) or Geforce 4 MX 440 (leadteck) (I tested both)
-CD-Rom: I tried all those I had (about 5-6 different cd-roms) but it doesn't change anything
-PCI: none but i would like to add a network adapter in the far future when this jklfghnglhbndflhbn machine will work!!!!
I tried to desactivate the onboard usb and audio but still the same!
Can anyone tell me what to do or give me a bios setup that can make it run?
Please help i am turning mad. I wanted to build a cheap machine and now it is a financial desaster

Ok, I'm having similar problems here. Let me start off with my story.
Got an 865PE Neo2-PFISR. Hooked it up with an SATA HDD, 160GB. I set the Integraged Peripherals to S-ATA mode and When I ran the XP CD, it would load the drivers and at the "Setup is starting Windows" screen, I would get a Blue error screen.
Turns out I needed to set the Integrated Peripherals to "Native Mode" rather than "Legacy mode" and also "S-ATA".
When I loaded windows, it set up just fine. Got into windows and voila, no prob, was running pretty good.
then, DUN, DUN, DUN, the 400W PSU went on me, I had to diagnose it and I want with a 500W Antec unit.
So I wasn't too happy with the way windows was running, I decided to do a fresh install before I got back to normal. I tried the XP CD with the correct bios settings, Loaded the drivers, got to the "Setup is starting Windows" screen and FROZE. I jus can't get past that screen, even flashed my bios and nothing, tore the entire system down and rebuilt it, tried one stick of ram, nothing.
Gave up with the fresh XP install, went back into the previously installed windows, and it ran fairly good. But now, it keeps freezing in windows. It will run fine under normal load, but as soon as I put some strain on the system (say I'm photoshoping and listening to MP3s or I'm watching a DVD, everything will freeze up and I have to restart.
One funny thing I noticed when I restart from this freezing. The reset button will not do. If I reset from the freeze, It'll restart, but then I'll get stuck on the initial MSI screen. So, everytime I freeze, I have to power down fully and restart.
I highly doubt I have bad ram or processor or VGA, It's either the Mobo or some settings. I contacted newegg and requested an RMA, So I'm going to start with a new board with an exchange. I jus hate to pay for shipping now.
Anyway, I'm using Geil Platinum DDR500 (PC4000) Dual channel Ram (1GB), this was on MSI's compatible memory List, so I don't think I'll have a problem with the ram. I haven't attempted to overclock yet.
Should I try other stuff (I'll have to rebuild the system again) or should I wait to receive a new board?

645 Ultra (MS-6547) Really Strange Bios Problem

I have just upgraded my pc with a 645 Ultra (MS-6547) mainboard with 128Ram and a Celeron at 1,7GHz. I have a hdd with a Windows 98 on it. The first time I booted after the change, windows starts up, it starts to detect the devices and is asking me to restart. At restart I see the video Bios and after that the mainboard starts beeping from the speaker and the display is showing lots of pages with special caracters and it freezes after a minute or so!!!!
I tried to upgrade the bios but al i got is this message:
"Phoenix Bios
D686
Award Boot Block MS-6547
Chipset/Flash port isn't available. The function will be invalid."
The really freakiest thing is that with another mainboard (same model) the problem is the same.
At first I thinked that is a boot virus, but I scanned the hdd on another system using f-prot with the latest definitions available(30.01.2003) and is clean.
Any ideas what could be?
thanks.

First of all: every one of the two mainboards started fine at the first boot, it loaded windows, started to detect new hardware then it asked me to reboot. After that it was hell! The graphics bios apeared and after that is starting to show something like this " %#^@&$(!#^ " all over the screen, is filling pages with this caracthers and beeping from the speaker. the d-bracket is with the 3 and 4 leds on red and i can't do a thing. the bios flasher (from your site) is telling me:
"Award Boot Block MS-6547
Chipset/Flash port isn't available. The function will be invalid."
the next thing i did was to try the old components on another pc based on an old i810 board. every one of them worked fine (individually and together). then I use the third board to remake my sistem from scratch with only new components (the old ones I was afraid to use), i instaled win98 on another hdd with drivers for the mobo. Everything was fine. The other hdd i scanned it on another system (winXP) with NAV2003 using the 05/feb/2003 updates and is clean. Then i saved the docs on it, formated it and copied (using pqmagic8 ) the partition from the new hdd with the working win98 on it. Installed the hdd and is ok. The the floppy and is ok. And now I am afraid to put the video card on it!!! I have talked with the service support and they told me to wait until they e-mail me an update program, new bios and instructions to recover my two boards. but that was 2 days ago... and i still got 2 freaked mobos!!!!
I will try tomorrow to recover the bios using the instructions on your site, hope it will work.
I still don't have a clue what the hell happend and what is the cause of this!!!

Does PXI-6547 support WDT file format

Please correct as needed....
The Waveform Data Type (WDT) is the only file format within the HWS that supports the extended logic states of digital signals.
Can this file format be used on the PXIe-6547 digital i/o module ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fonzi,
Good, then we are talking about the same thing when it comes to states. The following defines all the digital logic states our hardware supports:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370520K-01/hsdio/flogic_states/
A note in that document states the hardware modules that can support all the digital states. The 6541 can still accept the WDT data type, since in your code it did let you. It just doesn't support some of the digital states that it contains. Since it doesn't have hardware compares, it can't handle the compare states. If the WDT only had
You are correct, you must use the WDT when using the extended digital states. Its documented here:

MS-6547 + MS 8900 = Problems ?

Hi. Ivé been trying to help my friend with a problem he has. that is the following. He gets black "flashes" over the screen after installing the correct drivers...it flashes with about 1-5 sec intervall...
Anyone ever heard of this.. please reply..

Ok..here is the full spec.
P4 2.0 ghz
MSI MS-6547 motherboard.
MSI GF4 TI 4800.
TRUST 514DX 5.1 SOUND EXPERT OPTICAL
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
512 mb ddr (its not my machine so i dont know what type of mem,hd it is.)
He has and old gf2 that works perfectly, the problem with the gf4 occur as soon as he install the proper driver, "the driver causes a hardware failure" And he gets black flashes over the screen. (the flashing starts directly when he has installed the driver, before reboot)
His running XP. When he starts the computor the system dosent recognize the gfx and dont ask for drivers.
This dosent happend with the old gf2.
He took the gf4 back to the store to test it, it works fine on their comp there.
He tryed both msi drivers and nvidia drivers.
I hope that this might be too any help.
And i hope that anyone can be to help. :D

How to VCore mod my 645 ultra (MS-6547)

HI..
i got 645 ultra (MS-6547) and P4 1,80 @ 2,3GHz.. The problem is, that i can set VCore to max 1,6V, witch gives me.. 1,55V to 1,58V. I would like to set it higher..
HOW

Unless you really don’t care about frying your components, that procedure sounds like an impressively bad idea. I’ve also heard a rumor that there’s a “wire-wrap” way to unlock the multiplier on the P4s, but the same applies.

645 MS-6547 bus problems

lucky for me I got a report for ya here.
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft Windows XP
DirectX Version 9
Mobo Manufacturer MSI
Mobo Model MS-6547
FSB 133 MHz
AGP Rates (Current/Available) 4x / 1x, 2x, 4x
CPU Intel Pentium 4 2810 MHz 533 FSB
Memory 1024 MB
As you can see, my bus speed is 133 mhz, on the box of the mobo it says 533. I cant figure out how to change it. Help please.

Intel made the P4's bus quad pumped (4 operations per clock).
As with DDR (2 operations per clock), where DDR266 actually runs at 133MHz your CPU has an FSB running at 1/4 of what you are looking to see, but preforming 4 operations per clock.
What's important is the bandwidth is 4.2GB/S.
You can get WCPUID and see it reports the system clock at 133MHz and the system BUS at 533MHz.
Or get intel CPU ID , it does the math for you and reports the effective clock speed.

6547, which CPU?

I have an MSI 645 Ultra (MS-6547 v1.x). The manual describes the best support for the CPU as being "2Ghz and up". Presumably this was written before the various speed permutations above 2Ghz were made available.
I'm just wondering how far "up" that goes - i.e. where the speed "ceiling" is (without overclocking that is).
- for instance can it support a 2.4Ghz P4 Northwood? What about the latest 2.8Ghz (although if I could afford one of those right now...)?
Thanks
Jason.

Excellent, thank you.
The implication (looking at the Intel site for what is available right now) is that at the present time one could potentially put a 2.6Ghz P4 400Mhz in without fsb overclocking, or a 2.8Ghz 533Mhz with fsb overclocking.

Hi all i new @ this (645 Ultra333 (MS-6547)) v1

hi i have a 645 Ultra333 (MS-6547) mb can any1 let me know wat the Core Voltage is on them.
as a frend of mine said it maters wat voltage is on the cpu ?

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=43&kind=1
This is the compatible cpu list. The core voltage will depend on the cpu type used.

AGP 8X VGA on (old) MS-6547

Hi, i'm thinking about upgrading my VGA to a 6600-based. However, all the new boards are AGP 8X and my motherboard (MS-6547 / 645E Max-U) is only AGP 4X. I have read that AGP 8X is retrocompatible with AGP 4X. However, i have also read on some sites, that the signaling voltage is not (or it may not be), as AGP 8X use 0.8V and AGP 4X 1.5V.
So, what do you think it will happen in my case? Will the GPU work, or will i end up with a burned GPU and MB?
Thanks.

Really? Great, going to buy mine now!
But how do you find that out? I tried searching the web about those family of cards and didn't see any of that on the specs. The tech details rarely say anything about the supported voltage. For example, Gigabyte's 6600 versions only say the board is 8X AGP 3.0, which is not very helpful...
I wish the specifications were more... specific.

Ms-645 ultra (MS-6547) CPU:RAM

Hullo,
I Just Finished building my new system. I am in the process of clocking it out. I used Fuzzy Logic 4 to find out at what speed my system crashes at. Fuzzy crashes any where between 139MHz & 143MHz system clock with CPU core voltage only slightly juiced to 1.5 volts.
This is probably not a good program for the actual overclocking from what I've read, but does serve as a good burn in utility. So I've decided on a 133MHz system clock in bios. Don't want to get too greedy right now as I am using stock H/S and fan. Next did a 5X burn in with Sandra and couldn't crash my system 49c idle 62c load. I must say this is a very nice mobo, extremely stable.
What I am having problems deciding on are my memory timings. This is my first MSI mother board and I'm not really familiar with the normal fast ultra and turbo settings.
Initially I set at the normal selection with CPU - RAM ratio at highest setting of 4:5 and CPU-Z gives me these memory numbers 166MHz & 2.5-3-3-7-11.
Next I tried the ultra setting and the highest ratio of 1:1 any other ratio causes system to lock up. CPU-z gives me these memory numbers 133MHz 2.5-2-2-6-9
It dosen't Appear that the Ultra timing mode offers any advantages over default memory timing settings. Are these words "Ultra" and "turbo" just marketing schemes meant to entice the common PC user, or are there some additional speed settings that go along with with the ultra and turbo modes that I am unaware of. Also after setting system clock to 133MHz My PCI & AGP are left untouched at 33MHz & 66MHz. I was expecting higher speeds. How are these independant? Where can I adjust these to clock along with the system clock. With those AGP & PCI numbers it behaves like a true 533MHz FSB system. I'm a little baffled with this new system. Any explainations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not displeased, only a little puzzled. in fact i was counting on having to reduce the core & memory speed of my card just a little bit. to allow for a higher oc. Is this a 400/533 mobo manual says 400. Hmmm. I wonder what would happen if I put an 800 FSB cpu in here. bios system clock goes to 200. I happen to have one. this mat be interesting.

645-Ultra Timing Settings (MS-6547)

I just finished building my new PC. I've been exploring and found in the bios timing setting modes. My mode is currently set to normal. When trying to advance the settings to fast, turbo, or ultra the PC won't boot or post until I clear CMOS.
Any idea why the faster settings won't work?
Also I have installed Fuzzy Logic 4. When trying to manipulate any of the overclock
settings, the system locks and I can't reboot until I unplug the system. Any idea why Fuzzy Logic freezes the sysem?
The system is stable and runs good wiyh no other known issues.

MS-6547 BIOS 1.8

Hi all,
just found that MSI had released a new Bios 1.8 for 645 Ultra.
Before I flashed i thought that they didn't solve the IOQD-Issue (low RAM-Bandwith).
But SURPRISE:
this new one seems good for me!!!
Whats your expierience ???

1.) get a tool to save the CMOS. There is one in my old Patch called VCORE6547, or search for "CMOSSAVE & CMOSREST" or "MBC" or any tool that can save and restore the CMOS will do fine. These programs dosn't work corect under Win NT/2K/XP; - only Win98 or pure DOS !
2.) Make a File after setting Bios to 1.475V
3.) Make a File after setting Bios to 1.5V
4.) Make a File after setting Bios to 1.525V
5.) Make a File after setting Bios to 1.55V
6.) Make a File after setting Bios to 1.575V
7.) Make a File after setting Bios to 1.6V
8.) Compare the Files with a hexeditor
(Do not get confused by the first 16 Bytes, its only the Time)
9.) If there is a Byte which is incremented by one for every saved File, check which Bits of that Byte are used by VCORE-Settings.
10.) Try formerly not used combinations of these Bits, store the patched File to CMOS, make a reboot, and jump straight to Bios "PC-HEALTH-Page" to look what u have done.
11.) Keep in mind that another Bios-Version, "could use" these Bits for other things, so make a test with all Bios-Versions before calling "It WORKS"
good luck

OK ! Done What you've said
(Except for steps 10 & 11 from which im a little afraid :D )
I have WinXP so ive created a bootup disk (which gave me Win ME DOS) for the CMOS saving.
I have found out that except for the time bytes,
the CMOS's differ only in places 3E, 3F and 54.
Here are the exact differences (values in decimal - I like it better than HEX :P ).
The files are Here in case u want to check them out (or if you don't believe me :D).
It would be my guess that 1.625V would be
3E = 243 ||| 3F = 002 ||| 54 = 230
And that 1.65V would be
3E = 243 ||| 3F = 003 ||| 54 = 231
The only thing stopping me from trying it is that I fear that I'd set the Voltage to 1.9V or something and burn my CPU... so how do I prevent that from happening ?
Also, I have never actually flashed the BIOS and if something goes wrong, Is it certain that the Ctrl-Home Flashing combination will work?
Is there anything else that can go wrong? if so, how do I prevent it from happening and how do I fix it if it does happen?
Basically, is there anything that could do seruois damage, something of which I should really be afraid in the flashing process ?
Last question - How could it be that the CMOS files the CMOSSAVE program gave me are 128 bytes each, while the original A6567SMS.100 MSI BIOS file is 256 Kbytes? Was i supposed to enable BIOS caching in the BIOS before saving it ?(
Thanks In advance 8)

MSI-6547 & MSI Geforce 4-Ti4200

I am trying to get a custom built PC working for a mate but I am having problems with the above.
I can install Windows XP ok but as soon as I install video drivers the operating system refuses to boot up it just freezes on a blank screen.
I have looked and before I install the video drivers it say there are conflicts with the SIS Advanced Graphics Port. Only I have no idea what to do about I have looked in the bios and there doesn't seem to be anything in there that can help and I have tried installing the latest SIS AGP drivers but this doesn't help either.
If anyone can help me sort this out I'd be forever gratefull
Thanks Gavin

the card is firmly in the AGP slot and isn't catching on the Dimm's.
As I've said I can install windows OK but when I try to install the drivers it messes the whole thing up I can only think it is something to do with the conflict between the graphics card and the agp slot only I have no idea how to go about resolving it.
