MS6398 AGP problem

Trying to install new 845 Ultra board in existing system. Have old Viper V770U AGP video card. Board will not boot. Tried newer GeForce 440 AGP card. Same thing. Currently have old PCI card and at least it boots. Not sure which voltage the AGP cards are. (How can you tell?). Board's BIOS is at v 3.0 out of the box. Haven't run LiveUpdate yet. Are there any reports of AGP problems with these cards?

Thank you very much for your help. I have already tried everything that you write. I have reinstalled windows many times and put my computer completely apart and put it togheter again pice by piece but with no luck.
The guide that the error meassage refer to did not follow with the card but I have read ATI`s guides on theyre homepage. http://www.ati.com/support/manualpdf/Getting_Startedx800.pdf
I have read the manuals many times and done everything. It was only one thing that was written that was new to me and that was a little pin/or jumper or so on the back of the card. It was for changing between pal and ntsc. I have tried every combinations but with no luck.
Now I am using a completly clean windows installation, but all the software based issues are not related to the fact that the PC will just not boot with the card installed. I have even cleaned all the new cables and taken away dust and so on. I am 23 years old now and have had computers  since  I was 10 years old(I guess 10 or 15 differnt) but never had any trouble that I could not solve. This hover I find strange. I will ship the card back to the reseller in one day or to.
I am lucky that a norwegian law grants me all the money back (about 400 US dollars) in 2 weeks after buy no matter what the reason is. I only have to pay for shipping.

    [Athlon64] AGP problem with my new MSI K8N NEO4-F

    Yes I managed exactly that. I've been out of the computer building business for a while so I didn't know the graphics ports had changed.
    I will invest in a graphic card as well, thanks for putting me on track 
    (The manual sais something about the port supporting 8x agp though? )

  • 7600GS AGP problem

    I just bought a Gainward 7600GS AGP  with mainboard  nForce2 MSI  Delta2 LSR.
    after that  my  monitor gets compleatly black from 2 to 2 minutes without any reason ! I  tried to reinstall windows,  install latest nVidia drivers,  nothing. It could be from Bios ? Do I need a Bios  update? But  I checked on msi  web site and latest Bios  available is 5, the same as mine  ???

    hi there,
    read Moan Guide 1st, and provide full PC specification including PSU brand with details(can be found on the PSU sticker) to get better picture about the problem.
    "after that  my  monitor gets compleatly black from 2 to 2 minutes without any reason !"
    where this happend? under OS? in games only or in normal browsing for example? what VGA drivers are installed?
    also paste BIOS Cell Menu settings.
    Yes  under Windows XP. If I am not able  even to  browse the internet, you realised that I cant play any game.
    The drivers are  from CD of MSI (mainboard) and CD from  Gainward ( videocard). I set in BIOS  AGP Fat write to disable/enabled  but  nothing happend.
    I reinstalled  Windows  XP with sp2 again because I belived it's a drivers  problem, but the problem  didn't dissapear even with latest  nVidia   video drivers (93.17).  That  problem dont occured on Bios boot steps , only after Windows XP is running...

  • MSI GeForce 6600GT AGP problems

    Hi all,
    A couple of days ago i bought the 6600GT 128MB AGP graphics card and i have the following problems.
    I have a gigabyte motherboard with a 370 socket, a 4X AGP, and a 350W PSU. I tried 3 games and i got major problems in the graphics in two of them. Doom 3 seems ok, but in painkiller and half-life 2 the polygons dont look right to me (the polygons are corrupted).
    Also in the "MSI information" tab in the display properties i got the wrong information about my graphics card. The memory type is wrong (it displays SDRAM) and the AGP 4X in the "AGP/PCI information" is not ticked. I checked my BIOS option and is set to 4X so i dont know whats wrong. I also tried both the 66.93 NVIDIA drivers and the 71.22 drivers from MSI but nothing happened. The polygon coprruption in the aformentioned games remains.
    Could please someone help me? Does the 6600GT work on AGP 4X?
    Thanks in advance,
    Yannis

    I tried "dxdiag" to perform some diagnostics on DirectX and while testing the Direct3D capabilities of the card the test fails when using hardware-accelarated Direct3D 8 & 9 interfaces, while passes the test with Direct3D 7. I cannot figure out the problem. I tried everything i could so far but still nothing. Can someone help me? The AGP slot of my motherboard supports 4X (AGP 2.0 compliant). Can this problem be from a damaged graphics card?

  • KT3V AGP Problem

    Hi people. New here. So I have a computer with the KT3V board that i've been using for about 2 years now. My friend recently upgraded his computer and gave me his video card. It's a PNY GeforceMX 440SE. I tried to put this card into the KT3V but it just won't power on with this card in it. I currently have a Winfast Geforce2 pro in it and it's running fine but for the life in me I can't figure out why the system won't power on with the MX440SE. As soon as I take the card out the power will come on. I've tested the card on an older Abit KT7 and it powers on just fine. It's like the KT3V just can't provide enough power but I've tried unplugging everything except the video card and I've tried switching power supply. I've use a 500watt and a 420watt and neither work. I know it's not a power supply issue or that I'm not feeding it enough. I've also upgraded to the lasted bios. So any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.

    " XX watt means nothing." There are good brand 300 W. better than some 500 Watters. P.S.  You should pay attention to the AMPS. the P.S. gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. rails ( printed on a P.S. side) Can you tell us that numbers ?"
    i know it's not the p.s. cause like i said the vid card works on an old abit motherboard which i have tried with both p.s. and it powers up no problem. i'll try to find the amps and post it as soon as possible.
    "What you say, points to power problem ( If you are sure the G.Card is well seated ). Does new G.Card have a power connector ? is AGP 8x ? 4x ? Does the Mobo supports it? Did you try your old V.Card after Bios upgrade ? Did it work OK ?"
    i'm no noob when it comes to computers so yes the card is seated well and no there is no power connector on the card. it's a 4x card and i'm not sure how to find out if the mobo supports it other then to look at the specs for the vid card and mobo. in that case yes it does support it. yes i did try the old vid card after bios upgrade. actually that is the card i'm using now.
    any other suggestions?

  • G4MX440 AGP Problem

    Hi!
    I just got an MSI G4MX440 which needs "AGP 4x" but my AGP bus vs 2.00 only supports up to "AGP 2x".  Will any one tell me please what problems will this cause and if there is any way to solve it.
    my pc is an:
    Compaq Presario 5460
    475 mhz(will this be a problem at all since it needs 600mhz?)
    88 MB RAM
    (yeah i know it a little old but thank god I at least got one)
    Please tell me if any one needs more info about my system specs if needed and thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    The GFMX 440 will abolutely not make your PC slow.
    In fact it your preformance with games will increase.
    The only thing I am trying to say is that your videocard will be able to handle the newest games (ut 2003, battlefield 1942, no one lives forever 2, mafia and so on), but the rest of your computer can't because it is only 475 Mhz, and only has 88 Mb's of RAM.
    For example if you then start a game like battlefield 1942 the chances are that the game will not run smoothly.
    But on second thoughts, I heard from a guy that plays battlefield 1942 on a Pentuim 3 500 Mhz, with 256 Mb's of RAM and a GF 2 MX 400 32 Mb videocard.
    On this system he can also play mafia and ut2003.
    So if you have your GF4 MX440 installed, why not give it a go sometime and see if one of these games is playable on your system.
    And if you decide to keep this board and processor, but still want to upgrade, I'd advise you to buy a bit more RAM. I think 256 Mb's of RAM would do the trick. But then again it's always uncertain if your PC can handle the newest games with good Fps.

  • Savage AGP problems: no textures?

    Recently I read about people playing Savage, and it seems like a very fun game from the website. Thus, I downloaded and installed the demo, but textures are not working. After starting the game it complains about not being able to write to AGP memory and something about agpgart.
    Now Tuxracer, Trackball and Half Life through Wine are already working fine and I have a dynamic link to /dev/misc/agpgart as /dev/agpgart. For my laptop intel card I needed to load the agpgart, intel_agp and i830 modules.
    Savage is unplayable because all the textures except for the fonts are grey. Did anybody else have this problem, or would anybody have a clue on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi,  had no problems with the Demo install and the updater worked easily.  Running on a MP AMD system with a Nvidia Ti4400 and it runs fine at 1280x1024 with high graphics detail and extras.  The Demo apparently is quite lame compared to the actual game and my girlfriend got pissed when she foundout you have to kill animals to obtain money for weapons upgrades.  She was in a huff all last night over it 
    Both UT2004 and Savage run very well for me on Linux.  Now about that joystick config for Point2Play and Il2 FB?  I do like the tactical nature of it compared to UT2004 sorta reminds me of Giants but without the comedy.

  • VIA KM4M-V motherboard CPU speed and AGP problem

    Hello. Please be patient I am not technical I would say I'm intermediate, so please if anyone is kind enough to help, please don't blind me with jargon! I have 2 problems I believe are motherboard related, I shall go thru them both. Any solutions/suggestions will be very gratefully received! Operating system is Win XP Pro SP 2 running 512 MB RAM (64 used at moment for onboard graphics)
    I purchased this mother board: VIA KM4M-V. I also purchased an AMD Sempron PR2600+ which should be showing a speed of 1833 Mhz, but is coming up as 1466 MHz. Does anybody have any info please? I have downloaded and installed all the latest deivers and BIOS for the motherboard, and the MSI live monitor says there are no new updates now. Is there something in BIOS I need to change? Or is this a mistake on the manufactuers part? If so, which one? LOL
    2nd problem: The onboards graphics weren't good enough for some games I had - it required an AGP card. So I have purchased an ATI Radeon 9550 256 MB AGP card. OK I installed this card. All OK starting up. installed drivers, restarted computer. Was OK then changed to 32 bit colour and change the resolution of screen. When I clicked apply went into energy saving mode. Rebooted. As soon as it went to boot into windows, the monitor went into energy saving mode. Once it didn't straight away and windows started then the screen went distorted then it went into energy saving mode. I went into safe mode uninstalled the graphics hardware booted into windows again and reinstalled looked OK then I rebooted and it did it again grrrrrrrrr I went and disabled onboard graphics (ATI said might be issue on their site) still won't boot. Something I am doing wrong? Is it the motherboard?
    I'm thinking that it is both botherboard ::koff:: I mean motherboard It's OK I mean it's better than what I had, but I know it's not what it should be! I am grateful to you guys for your help. Thanks very much
    Rachie

    Quote from: psywhizz on 16-February-05, 10:01:00
    More on this! I am running win xp pro sp 2 BTW. I have been swapping between the onboard graphics and the ATI radeon 9550 AGP card I just got. I have been disabling onboard graphics, then installing from scratch (all virus and programs off). As to power supply/amperes? I have no idea all I know is it's a 450 watt rating and has ummmm 230 on back (volts?) it's pretty new I got it like 5 months ago
    OK I can get it sort of working when I go into the BIOS and set it from 8x to 4x. The graphics advanced setting was showing 4x. The motherboard is SUPPOSED to support 8x but it just won't work at all in that mode. It works for awhile in 4x mode. No specific amount of time I have current drivers on everything! Then the same old thing happens! Monitor goes to energy saving mode or computer restarts. On restart can use it again for a limited time again, and then the mouse pointer kinda goes funny and it freezes. It goes pixalated and if I move it this 'block' goes up and down in a line only. Most of the time has been trying to start AOL (my ISP)  it goes off then. Have tried different rates (went down to 16 bit) and desktop sizes (went down to the one above 800x600) no go. I took the refresh rates to 60, tried everything. I have taken it out again.
    I don't know if it a motherboard problem, the graphics card or a combo! I just paid £54.99 for the graphics card, and don't want to waste it! What should I do. It's really frustrating!

  • [Athlon64] AGP problem with my new MSI K8N NEO4-F

    Hey!
    Just bought a MSI K8N NEO4-F and got a serious problem with the AGP port, the graphics card wont work!
    When I install my radeon 9700 pro I can't get a picture, everything else works including a pci graphics card.
    I don't have a diskette drive so I haven't upgraded the bios yet, but I find it hard to belive that you have to upgrade to get a picture.

    Yes I managed exactly that. I've been out of the computer building business for a while so I didn't know the graphics ports had changed.

  • AGP Problem

    Hello,
    I have the MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Mobo, along with it I have a Geforce FX 5950 Ultra and an AMD 64 FX53.
    The initial installation seemed to go ok, I installed the chipset drivers as soon as windows XP was on there and then made sure the rest of the hardware was installed and functioning correctly.
    I Ran 3Dmark 2003 to compare the hardware change with that of my old Mobo and Processor and the score came out lower than before.
    When i checked the detailed information I noticed that on my old system the AGP rate was 8 x /4x8x.
    The new motherboard had 0x under its AGP rate.
    I was told that I didn't install the chipset drivers correctly. So I formatted my computer and loaded windows XP back on. I installed the chipset drivers straight away and then every subsequent driver after that.
    Still no good.
    So I loaded the default bios settings. That didn't help.
    I have reverted my graphics drivers back to older versions and too be honest have spent so much time on this now that I am at the end of my tether.
    If someone has some knowledge of AGP speeds and how I can check the speed the AGP is currently running or if they know of a problem like mine, I would grately appreciate your advice.
    hanging on for a reply

I have the most recent version of the NForce3 chipset drivers installed, this was the first thing I did after I did a clean install.
    you didnt say 1T or 2T , makes quite a difference with this chipset it seems
    What kind of score were you expecting to see?
    How does your score compare to other people with similar setup?
    I must admit if you wanted a high 3dmark03 score, I would have bought a 3800 or 3500+ and put the saved money towards a  6800GT/Ultra or X800 Pro/XT...
    if you want to do lots of number crunching , you've bought the right system.
    if you look at my specs, im seeing a score of 12,500 without CPU OC and mild GFX OC.
    The drivers make quite a difference too.. not sure if 68.xx makes a huge difference on 3dmark03 or not though, but definitely on 3dmark05.

  • MSI 875P NEO FIS2R AGP problems

    I have just purchased an MSI 875P NEO FIS2R motherboard and there is a sticker covering the AGP slot which says "Please use only 1.5V AGP cards to avoid pernament damage to this mainboard". However, on the website it says here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=434
    "One AGP slot supports 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V
      (3.3V is not supported)." I want to use 8x agp @ 0.8v and the website says this ok but the sticker on the AGP slot on the motherboard says only 1.5V. Is this a mistake on the website or on the Motherboard and is it possible for me to use 8x AGP @ 0.8V without damaging the motherboard?
    I want to use an ATI radeon 9800pro.
    Anybody using 8x agp @ 0.8V and have they have any problems?

    Assaf IS THE MAN!! His answers are NEVER WRONG.. WORRY NO MORE about the voltage...

  • MSI 6385 AGP problems

    I have an MS 6385 motherboard running Windows 98 with 256MB RDRAM and a Geforce 4 MX440 Graphics Card. The problem is that the card should run in AGP 4X, but for some reason, in Windows it says it's running in PCI mode. Someone mentioned to get some VIA chipset drivers, but this motherboard doesn't support that chipset. Despite numerous attempts fiddling around in the BIOS, looking on this site for drivers which evidently don't exist, I cannot get the card to run in AGP 4X mode. Please help as this is one hell of annoying problem. Thankyou for your help.

    Since the board has an intel chipset the VIA 4in1 is not for you.
    You need the intel inf, then reinstall DirectX and the VGA drivers.
    You should be running in AGP mode after this.

  • MicroStar NX6800GT-TD256 256MB AGP - problems when playing movies

    Movies are VERY overbrightened, and there are some color issues too.
    I have tried installing various codecs, nothing helped. {I did a fresh installation of windows XP, and I installed win media 9 codec, indeo codec, and Allin1 codec ver. 60.27 }
    i have also tried to play movies in different movie playes {BSplayer, win media player, MSI intervideo}, still same problem.
    I never had such a problem with my old FX card.
    In PC games, there is no problem at all, all runs perfectly.
    Can anyone help me pls?

  • Does 1.4 fix agp problems on the 865 NEO2 FIS2R "aka that crap MSI boa

    Before i even attempt the flash, has anyone who has had the problem of no power up with some types of agp cards had success with this bios update?

    Hello,
    Obzelite,
    I have not personally tried the 1.4 bios, but from reading the post on this forum we can conclude that MSI still hasn't resolved this issue.
    In fact, the bios 1.4 turned out to be a big dissapointment for most users.
    Like I have told you before, my board was a faulty one.
    I send it to MSI branch office in Miami, FL. together with all my stuff (memory, processor, videocard and the board) because they asked me to.
    They tried it out over there, and couldn't get it to work.
    Then they tried a different board, and that one did work.
    So they sent everything back to me, tested and all.
    I fired it up and it worked. I've even started to overclock it and it still works OK.
    So it was just a faulty board, badluck for me.
    I think this is an issue, because I've seen more of this problems on the forum.
    The thing is, MSI aknowledged that the board failed, but they didn't tell me why.
    They only told me it was an "AGP slot" problem.
    But hey, as long as it works it's OK with me.
    However, I would like to have more information on this so I could help out others here.
    Perhaps later on some bios update will help you guys out.
    Good luck,
    Arthur.

  • AGP Problem on K7 Ultra MB (MS-6590)

    Howdy,
    (Before I start I will list system specs)
    Windows 2000 Pro SP4
    AMD 1800+ CPU
    Enermax 400W PSU
    KT4 Ultra MB (MS-6590) (Has 8x AGP Support)
    Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
    DirectX 9.0c
    1Gig of Ram (333)
    I went and installed Max Payne 2 today, found it in a bargin bin for like 10 dollars so figured why not.
    Anyways...
    When it finished installing it told me I did not have graphics acceleration turned on ... which seemed odd to me so I booted up DirectX Diag and decided to check it out.
    I just got a brand new Western Digital HDD and reloaded my system, so I figured perhaps I hadn't updated something yet.
    Now something that has always bothered me, Win2k has always detected my video card has:
    Radeon 9800 Pro
    Radeon 9800 Pro - Secondary (not sure why this one is there?)
    Anyways, I am using the newest Catalyst Drivers. I have never had a problem with them, so I just always update to that version over the omega.
    But to get back to the Dxdiag results...
    So I run Dxdiag, all the tests check out as usual, DDraw acc is enabled, D3D acc is enabled, however sure enough AGP Acceleration is greyed out and disabled ... telling me that it's "Not Available"
    This should not be the case.
    So I goto my bios (which I even flashed and updated the bios recently to the newest amibios v1.4) and check out the AGP settings ... the AGPMode is locked to "AUTO" not even giving me the options between what SHOULD BE:
    2x / 4x / 8x / Auto
    So my questions are thus:
    1. How do I enable my AGP Graphics Acceleration in Dxdiag
    2. How do I get my options to show up in my bios for AGPMode
    Now the video card is brand spanking new. My old one the fan gave up on me and ATI replaced the entire card for free (within 1 day I might add!) so it's not the card.
    The spec's on the card SAYS it supports 8x AGP here:
    http://www.hothardware.com/viewarti...eid=328&catid=2
    The Specs on my MB:
    http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/H...t400/index.html
    So I assume there is either:
    A. A driver issue
    B. Some setting I have not turned on / turned on that is giving me a problem.
    Please help,
    Thanks in advance,
    Magister.
    P.s. I have also just updated my MB with the newest VIA chipset 4in1 drivers from thier main site ... didnt help.
    However, I am wondering if the order in which I installed my drivers on this new hdd has something to do with my issue?. Ie: I THINK I might have installed the video card drivers before the chipset drivers. Not sure if that will make a difference, just thought I would mention it.

    Thanks, got it working! (cheers)
    This is what I did just in case someone else comes along and needs a step by step
    1. Get yourself a program called: Driver Cleaner @
    http://www.drivercleaner.net/dc.htm
    2. Go into your device manager and remove your display adapters
    3. Uninstall ATI software from add/remove programs
    4. Reboot into safe mode (hit F8 loading up)
    5. Once in safe mode, try and cancel windows driver updates, if you can't don't worry about it.
    6. Run Driver Cleaner
    7. Select wizard : and then select the ATI option that fits you best (or heck run all of them won't hurt)
    8. Check add/remove programs again, make sure no ati things are there
    9. Empty recycle bin
    10. Reboot
    Once your system is booted again follow these steps:
    1. Cancel the adapter installs
    2. Get out your AGP chipset drivers (get info from your MB site)
    3. Install Chipset drivers
    4. Reboot
    Once your system is booted again follow these steps:
    1. Install your display drivers (I used: 5-9_xp-2k_dd_cp_wdm_26409.exe)
    2. Reboot
    3. Correct display settings if needed
    4. Run Dxdiag and viola AGP Graphics Acceleration should be enabled!
    Run your tests again if you wish and thats that!.
    Thanks again,
