MSI 648 Max -- AGP setting in BIOS

I had tried to install the driver for the GeForce4 MX440.
After finished the install, I reboot the computer.
When loading into WindowsXP[the black screen with a WindowsXP logo in middle], the monitor suddently turns black and changed to "power saving mode", but the computer power LED still on.
I think there are something wrong in the BIOS.
Can you tell me whether the BIOS setting is correct?
Thank you!
My computer:
Pentium 4 2.53GHz
MSI 648 Max (MS-6585) BIOS v1.1
Inno3D Tornado GeForce4 MX440 DVI TV 64MB AGP [AGP2X/4X]
Kingston 256MB DDR400
Maxtor 6Y080L0 7200rpm 80G ATA133
SONY Trinitron Multiscan 15sf II
BIOS seting:
Advanced Chipset Features:
AGP Aperture size = 128M
DRAM CAS# Latency = By SPD
Timing Setting Mose = Fast
MA 1T/2T select = MA 1T
PNP/PCI configurations:
Primary graphics Adapter = AGP
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA = Yes
PCI IDE Bus Master = Enable
Frequency/Voltage Control:
CPU/DRAM Frequency Ratio = By SPD
DRAM Frequency = 200MHz
Auto Detect CPU FSB = Enable
CPU Frequency = 133MHz
AGP/PCI Frequency(MHz) = 66/33
Clock Spread Spectrum Enable = Disable

Oh~~!
I haven't changed the psu........
Any other method to solve the problem?
My computer can successfully reboot and load into WindowsXP for once, when I set the refresh rate to 85Hz, it hangs. I have to reboot it to safe mode and disable the card. Then it can boot into WindowsXP.
When I reinstall the driver, the problem happen again.

MSI 648 Max - Display Problems

I recently bought the MSI 648 Max motherboard, as my system needed an upgrade quite badly. To cut the costs down a bit, I’ve used some parts from my previous system (eg the video card which is an 2x AGP, 64 Mb, Kyro based card) but got new RAM, CPU and psu.
I put together the system (described below), loaded Windows ME, updated all drivers with latest releases, and the thing works but the quality of the display is really bad ;( . That is, I get lots of video artefacts (shadows, fading text, vertical lines, distorted colours, etc). The video card was working fine on my other machine. Also, Sisoft Sandra says that the card is operating at 2x AGP, as it should.
I am not overclocking; some of the BIOS parameters I used are as follows (based on the OPTIMAL DEFAULTS):
AGP Aperture Size    128 Mb
DRAM CAS Latency    by SPD
Timing Setting Mode    NORMAL
MA 1T/2T Select    AUTO
Primary Graphics Adapter    AGP
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA    NO
CPU/DRAM Frequency Ratio    by SPD
DRAM Frequency    167 MHz (for now)
CPU Frequency    133 MHz
AGP/PCI Frequency    66/33
DRAM Vcore        2.6 V
CPU Vcore       AUTO
The system temperature showed in the Health Status is less than 40 C (104 F).
I have tried the latest AMI BIOS (version 1.3), and then reverted to version 1.0, but I still have the same display problem.
I would really appreciate some help.

Msi 648 max working with ati 9700

Hi,
I got it working (100% no crashes) today on windows 2k adv server:
msi 648 max (6585 early version), ati 9700 (1st version), and mostly the latest drivers/software, e.g. msi mb bios v1.2, sisagp47.exe, siside47.exe, ms directx9 (dx90_redist.exe), wxp-w2k-radeon-7-83-030120a1-007447c-efg.exe, control-panel-7-83-030120a1-007447c-efg.exe.
Before you get happy, now I want to replace the 648 motherboard with something better. It is a total waste of money to try running an ati 9700 on an msi 648 max.
Summary: I had to set my DRAM memory clock to 2.5, fast write off, and agp to 4x. There are a bunch of other bios settings and ATI control panel setting to keep it from crashing. If anyone is pathetic enought (like me) to want more information, then post your questions.
The only reason I'm posting my results is because I got all my help from people on this board. BTW I'm running Corsiar CMX512-3200C2 (at 2.5 sucks), and Antec Truepower 550w power supply (which is not p.o.s).
Good luck and save your money....
Thanks all.

Hi,
I agree. My Bios is at version 1.2 because I flashed it a couple months/weeks ago and that was the current version at the time. Now they have up to 1.4 but I did not need it.
Bye.

Wanna OC msi 648 max

I wanna try and oc this damn thing and see how it goes but my bios is retarded. if i change anything in it it will not start. no post no screen no nothing sits there and i think hdd light goes on but nothing is actually going. for me to go back i have to clear cmos and i have tried diff bios versions and all the same. so what the heck can i do? i plan on buyin new board and drives soon as seeing all msi crap sux. dont know y i bought em all there a bunch of liars. so if anyone got a way other than buying new board cuz thats on way just wanna see what this one got.

Don't bather yourself I have the same problem.
:O MSI FAKED US ALL A BIG ONE. The problem is in the option AGP/PCI Frequency (MHz)
It doen't work and my clue is:
1- When I adjust my CPU FSB more than 110 MHz (PCI > 36.66 MHZ) and set this option to 66/33 the computer boots normally until it starts loading the O.S. and errors saying that the OS cannot start due to lost system files, or Read
Write error to Aux device, or it hangs.
2- When I set this option to 80/40 and the CPU FSB to Auto (100 MHz), the computer boots normally and load the O.S. normally and everything goes just fine. and Sandra software reports the PCI clock frequency as 33 MHz.
Thats to say that the PCI/CPU FSB ratio is fixed at 1/3 regardless to any value selected in this option.

MSI 648 Max (Ms-6585) overclockability... Anyone?

Just bought a Ms-6585 which is also known as 648max. I wonder anyone else can share your overclocking experience on this board, and how is this board's overclockability.
I plan to get a P4 2.0A (tight budget) and overclock to 2660mhz which is running on 133x20. Do you guys think it can work?
By right P4 2.0A (not OEM version) overclock well through increase CPU voltage. I hope i can reach 2660mhz, pls point me out if anyone concerns. :]
thanks

Give me a chance to show mine here. I'm really fedup for this moment. ;(

Ok now, my problem is can't get stable when overclock to 2610mhz (145x18') in WinXP. 2610mhz won't be the bottle neck for this C1 sweety and i don't think my ram giving me problem because i've down clocked it. What do u guys think what is wrong with my system can't clock higher. X(
i have one question here: the PCI/AGP bus for this board are - 33/66, 34/68, 35/70... Is it fixed by setting or it will raising follow by system bus increment. ?(
Appreciate IF someone willing to help. thanks ;(

Intel 3.06GHz on MSI 648 Max L

Hi,
I have a question; if I were to purchase in the future a P4 3.06Ghz processor which supports HT, will it work on my MSI 648 Max without hyperthreading just as a normal processor? I understand that hyperthreading does not work on this board (the one without the udated chip). I'm just curious if the processor itself is supported. I don't see why not, it should just work as a single 3.06 processor. Thanks in advance.
Razvan Scutaru

I have the 3.06 running in mine , and the board is the one that does not have HT.. and it works just fine..
The only thing that I have found is that you cannot run 400 mghz ram in it with spd setting.. you will have to go and set up the setting manual and then it will work.. don't ask me why I can't find it out..lol..
But other than that it is one fast computer..
also if you set the ram setting to anything other than the fast setting it will default back to 2.5 on the cas setting..
But after running bench marks I can't see any improvement by running at a cas of 2..
Also if you have a black screen when you are working with the bios you will have to clear them and reboot .
I had one that gave me problems but it was the PSU that was causeing it.. 400 wat but in real load it was only putting out 328 wats.. and that will not work with a 9700 pro in this board.. at least it would not on mine.

Why msi 648 max HT ready cannot be OC

?( The problem is :
The bios has an option in the frequency/voltage control menu called
AGP/PCI Frequency (MHz)
which gives me the ability to adjust the pci/agp bus clock frequency.
This option doesn't work, and my clue is
1- When I adjust my CPU FSB more than 110 MHz (PCI > 36.66 MHZ) and this
option to 66/33 the computer boots normally until it starts loading the O.S.
and errors saying that the OS cannot start due to lost system files, or Read
Write error to Aux device, or it hangs.
2- When I adjust this option to 80/40 and the CPU FSB to Auto (100 MHz), the
computer boots normally and load the O.S. normally and everything goes just
fine. and Sandra software reports the PCI clock frequency as 33 MHz.

MSI 648 max problems, please help

Just put a new machine together and I am having some problems, hopefully someone can help.
My machine seems to run pretty stable in OS, but dies when any game is played. It will crash anywhere from 2 minutes - 45 minutes in the game. Ive tried several games: C&C generals, unreal2, etc with the same results.

Sorry a serious error occured
Thanks in advance

Well my roomate cancelled the memory test after 12 hours, so I dont know those results.
I do know that after removing 1 of the DIMMS, the machine seemed to be stable playing games.
I sure wish MSI would have stated it only accepted 1 double sided DIMM.. especially when the reccomend Kingston ram, which is double sided......
Me and my roomate BOTH bought this motherboard, while my roomate only bought 2 DIMMS of 512, I bought 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now it looks like we need to return these motherboards and get new ones... I HAVENT EVEN GOT MINE OUT THE BOX!!!!!!!!
Any reccomendations on an MSI motherboard (or any) that support double sided DIMMS? I am looking for 3 slots...
thanks...
Any other advise on how to get this motherboard to work with all this ram would help too, so we dont have to RMA through newegg....
Anyone from MSI read this board?????

Windows XP and MSI 648 Max

Can anybody give me a good tips, whats wrong when Windows XP installation (BSOD) failed on a computer with MSI 648 Max, I can see that is many in the some siuation as me. But no one of the solutions looks like i good one. Is it somebode that have find out the problem, or?

Its a good idea, but the RAM that I use is the same thats worked fine in the computer earlier. Its DDR DIMM 3100 TwinMOS, and thats a good stuff if I know it right?.
I have tried to take out the harddisk and placed it in another computer, and installed Windows XP. After that I placed the harddisk in the computer with the MSI motherboard, and I get I/O error and it couldnt red from the harddrive. I think that its the 250 watts powersupply, as the problem. I have looked i BIOS and under PC Healt, and there I could see that the +12 V and -12 V will only give +/- 11-11,5 V. Now I have purchase I new bigger powersupply, and hope that gonna fix the problem.

MSI 648 MAX + 3Gb Memory

Hi,
I have put three GB of RAM in a PC containing a MSI 648 Max motherboard.
The memory is 3 * PC2100 1GB of Samsung 266 DDR RAM. I've ran memtest
(http://www.memtest86.com) to test the chips to test the chips individually
and in blocks of two. The machine runs fine with up to 2GB, but fails
when all three are in.
I have two identical machines (and two sets of 3GB RAM), which exhibit the
same problem, memtest failing at the same time.
The machines run P4 2.4Ghz processors.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance

Problems with MSI 648 Max

I have problems with my sons MSI 648 Max Mainboard, everything seems to be alhright, but when I upgraded the BIOS version to the lastest. the computer starts to hang. I have also but a new harddisk in to the computer an some more RAM. I think the problem begin in the powersupply, its just a 250 W powersupply to the computer, and we have av 1.8 GHz Celeron. Have anything had this problem, or is it something I should think about after the upgrade of the BIOS?.

I know that 250 watt is to small, but the computer have function great in 2 months. But after i have taking out the old harddisk and but in a new bigger one, and placed some more RAM (256). After that I installed Windows XP on the new harddisk, but after that I upgraded my BIOS version to 1.4. After the upgrade of the BIOS the computer starts to freeze after a while. I tried to reinstall XP but the computer freeze under the installation. I have tried to switch back to older BIOS version, but I cant make it work. I have really hard to believe that the powersupply is the reason why the compter freeze.

Make sure you get the HT Ready version. Utilizes the 648bo chipset and also has a sticker on the box. Im not exactly sure how to distinguish the 2 different types because the model numbers are EXACTLY the same.
Support Hyper Threading..
