MSI 645 ultra xp / 2000 problem please help.

I've got 3 MSI 645 ultra mobos. I've tried every thing i can think off to get xp installed and working. I don't get as far as formating the hard disk in the setup. I relpaced the power supply with a qtec 550 watt power supply (the gold one). i've flashed the bios to 1.9, i've used different hardisks and cables. I've checked the memory PC2100 and 2700. It's a pentium 4 1.5, I've tried a 2g in it as well. I'm using an ATI radeon 7500 but have tried a s3 agp card. All the other components work fine in another machine but not on my 3 MSI boards.
Please help some one out there must have had the same problem. I'll buy the first person who fixes it cakes!!!

Hi,
I ran memtest 3.0 and there were no errors. it ran for 9 hours.
I am only using one hard disk at a time. it's set as a master on IDE1 and the CDrom is on IDE2 as a master. should I use cable select?? I also tried the hard disk and CD on ide2 and that did not work either.

  • MSI 645 Ultra - Bios Toasted! Need help

    Greetings,
    A year ago I attempted to flash my bios on my 645 ultra, but really screwed it up (I flashed from windows). Don't ask why I did that, apparently at the time I had a brain fart! hehe. So anyways, how do I revert to the original bios? Anyway to recover? When I power up the board, it doesnt even POST...
    Am I screwed?  ;(
    Thanks for the assistance guys  8)

    Best thing would be to have someone with an EEPROM programmer to burn it, or get a replacement from MSI.
    A very risky trick, dont do this, if you do and screw EEPROM or a perfecly well working MOBO up dont blame me.
    But sometimes someone has and old dont care MOBO and well your EEPROM is pretty useless so someone might try the BIOS swap trick (I warned everybody):
    1. Get BIOS and programingsoftware
    2. Find a PC working, turn it on boot on the DOS disc
    3. Take the BIOS out - DO NOT shut down the power
        (this is the dangerous part)
    4. Put the wrongly programmed BIOS in the empty socket
        (this is the extremely dangerous part
    5. Program the BIOS
    6. Turn of and put bios back in their right MOBO

  • MSI-645 Ultra C USB problem

    I have an MS-6457(v2.X) ATX mainboard with a D bracket but the two USB ports on the bracket do not work I have tried plugging in my usb mouse but nothing happens. I have plugged the lead in to both jusb1 and jusb2 but no go, is there some way that these ports need to be turned on? thanks for any help. Ron

    looked in the bios they are already enabled are the ports in this "intergrated peripherals" the ones mounted on the motherboard? The ones I am having problems with are on the D bracket connected to the board with a fly lead. I have looked at the motherboard settings with Si Soft Sandra and at the end of the report there is a warning" W2533 disabled host controllers are present check bios" but I can not find any other settings to try apart from the one you mentioned  which is already enabled any other ideas? Thanks Ron.  

  • MSI 645-Ultra problem

    Hi, I have some problems with my computer.
    Here is my configuration:
    CPU: P4 1.6 ghz
    Motherboard: MSI-6547 645 Ultra
    Memory: 512 Mo DDR 266 mhz
    video: MSI 8836 GeForces II GTSTi64
    I build up this machine in January 2002 by myself and it work fine.  But, this week my computer start to turn off automatically and reboot, after it reboot i can work on it for about 20 min. and then the same thing append.  It even append to me when i was in the BIOS, so for sure its not a windows problem.
    I have try another video card and i still have the same problem.
    Any help would my appreciate, thanks.

    I can install a cheap vid card and I have NO Problem! ATI sent me a replacement card and it does the same thing, "Black Screen Lock-up" or just reboots. If both ATI cards are doing the same thing, there must be some kind of incompatability between XP and the 7500 AIW (no problems with ATI card and Win 98SE).
    ATI has washed their hands of any future responsibility, so I am apparently stuck with a $200 vid card that doesn't work with my system.
    Tell more about your system, bertz.

    In my computer I had a Network-adapter which coused a problem of self-reboot when i tried to shut-down.
    I replaced it with an older one - problems gone !!!

  • Help with the MSI 645 Ultra!

     I've got a very frusturating problem. I just bought the MSI 645 ultra mobo to upgrade my system, along with a brand new P4 2.0 GHZ processor and 512 mb DDR ram to go onto the board. My problem is as follows: The computer is not booting up. No OS, no BIOS, no nothing. When I turn the power on and hit the switch, all the hardware in the case starts up and sounds fine... but the screen remains blank. All four lights on the little diagnostic tool/usb port thingy that came with the board stay red, which, according to the manual, indicates a problem with the processor.
    The processor is either bad (highly unlikely with it being an Intel chip) or for some reason its not working with the mobo. So, heres my question: Does an Intel P4 2.0 GHZ Northwood processor work with the MSI 645 Ultra?
    Under the list of supported speeds, 2.0 ghz is not listed ?( . Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

    Hi,
    Read the manual that came with your motherboard, it tells you were to connect the power button. Or, if that doesn't help you, I think you're better out turning your computer in at a service shop and let a trained technician do the work for you. 8)

  • Power supply for MSI 645 Ultra mother board

    I need to replace the power supply for a MSI 645 Ultra mother board. I've available a switching power supply Allied model DR-B500E, that doesn't have the -5V output (infact its 20 pin ATX power supply connector has no wire in pin 18).
    Can I use this power supply with the MSI 645 Ultra?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi, here I am. Sorry for delay but I had some problems with the PC (as NTLDR missing).
    However now is ok and I can confirm that it runs ok also with power supply without -5V output.
    Thanks a lot for the support and best wishes for Christmas and new year.

  • MSI 645 Ultra - AmiBIOS 3.31a

    Hi,
    I did not plug in the connector for the CPU stock fan as my stock fan uses those white, red, yellow cable for power. Hence my motherboard will keep beeping that it's High Temperature since it "did not" detect my stock fan running.
    My question is, how do I turn that alarm off? I remember doing it before but I forgot.

    Maybe you should just remove the chassis speaker connectors from the mobo . This is the simplest way to 100% solve the sound problems... but many implications to it also .
    Woah .. there should be a way around this ......
    anyone can help ?

  • P6N Lots of problems please help

    P6N Lots of problems please help
    The setup is the following:
    P4 D935 3.2gHz
    P6N Diamond MS-7320 Bios 1.3V
    Corsair XMS2-6400C4DHX
    NX8600GT-TD512EZ/D2
    Seagate Barracuda 7200 250Gb SataII 16Mb
    Akasa 460W Dual Rail
    Please help I have lots and lots of problems with lockups that can happen any time post , bios , loading vista and sometimes during OS. Some times will work ok play games etc. Already tried different combinations fitting the mem modules even tried and some pc4200 modules same problems. Spent lots of hours clocking the mems with different settings but non is stable. I am not interested in overcloking just to make it stable to start with. When is actually running is fine is more than enough for me. Already looked to lots of posts on the msi forum but… Since the cpu is old can I go back on an older bios version???? The Corsair modules have to run at 2.1V or is it possible to use them with slower setting. So confused so lost ….. please HELLPPPPP
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    please, don't buy any more unneded parts.  first find the problem then buy if no solutions available.
    One thing I find with BIOS issues is to do a full clear.
    1. disconnect the power cord from the power supply(turn switch to off if there is one.
    2. hit the power switch to clear the power out of the system.
    3. set the cmos jumper to clear and leave there if one is available.
    4. Pull the battery.
    5. carefully short out the battery connector on the motherboard to drain any power left.
    6. press the clear cmos button and hold for 30sec minimum, if you didn't have a jumper to set. 
    7. replace battery, move jumper back, plug in power cord, turn on power sipply switch.
    Now it should hopefully power up.  go into BIOS and load optimized results. hit save and exit and when it gets back to the post screen, go back into bios and set your normal MB settings(ie. set boot devices, boot order, disable sound if using sound card, etc...)
    go into your H/W Monitor section and list the CPU Vcore settings to make sure it is getting the power it needs.  I just looked it up and it's suppose to run from 1.225v - 1.325v.
    also, try your most generic ram you have with auto settings.  the faster the ram usually the more volts they need and default volts are 1.8v for ram and sometimes faster chips have issues with lower volts.
    Let me know how this works for you.
    -=Mark=-
    ps. make sure everything is unplugged from the computer you don't need.  just cpu, 1 stick of ram, and video. and of course keyboad and mouse.  Please make a signature with all your systems specs including make and model numbers.  I hate guessing at solutions and I'd hate to see you buy any more unneccessary parts because of lack of information.

    So at this stage all my data is on the 750 hdd and the disk is stored away. my problem started with me buyng 2 mx100 256 ssds . If my bios is set to ide or ahci they work fine i had my windows instaled on 1 of them all woks fine. Once i switch my bios to raid ( before i set up my raid 0) boot up win 7 instalation i do not see any drives ( i know is normal) load the drivers for the raid controler (sb950 for w7 as it says in themanual) and only my 256 hdd shows up but not the ssds . Than i set them up in ld raid 0 same problem . Tryed on another 2 mbs ... 1 same and a gygabite same problem. So i was sure there is a problem with ssds. I got rid of them got 2 new 850 evo 250 gb same problem. please help me i am so desparate i am willing to pay woth body organs for help

    I..have a few questions...
    1. You set BIOS to the RAID mode, and under that option there's a Board SATA RAID ROM, do you set it as Legacy ROM?
    2. Did you enter Ctrl+F to initialize the drives/Delete Array(If they're used SSDs) and create RAID0?
    3. Is your Win7 64 bit or 32 bit?
    4. I assume it's 64 bit, did you copy the W764 folder for driver loading?
    And make sure you get the driver from here:
