your cpu is jumping from 35c - 55c while your in the bios?
if that is true something isnt right... under stress it probably would go up to 55c but from what i have read and others correct me if i am wrong that sure doesnt sound right from reading it from the bios.
I also think as long as you have a 300 watt ps that shouldnt be the problem unles it is defective. you arent running a 9700 and a 4200 should be ok with 300 watts. although not all PS are equal even at same wattage.

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.

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.
Bios are updated and nothing is overclocked. Win XP is fully updated.

Technical Difficulties
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?????

What show 2nd termo-controller on a MSI 648 MAX?

Hi from Russia.
I have 43 motherboards MSI 648 MAX (HT-ready).
My computers spontaneously freezes. I think, that this problem because of overheating motherboard chipset. Motherboard Monitor showing t80 Celsius on a 2nd termo controller. This is error, or really big temperature of a SiS chipset (t80 on all motherboards)?
And i have other problem in a Counter-Strike.I press ESC when i play in OpenGL mode and i have black screen with freeze (video GF4 Ti4200 AGPx8 )
Maybe anybody know how solve this problems?
Please sorry for my english.

Did you ever resolve this? I have a similar problem
Machine has been running with a 512 Mb/333 MHz module in slot 1 for 2 years with no problems. I want to increase the memory size. Tried adding all sorts of combinations of other modules, but won't boot. I went out and purchased a compatible Kingston 1 Gb/333 MHz CAS 2.5, compatible according to Kingston site. The memory counts to 1 Gb, and everything POST seems to work. I get a beep, and then nothing. Trying different slots, the same problem. The 512 Mb works in all slots, but not the 1 Gb.
What is the fix for this MSI memory upgrade issue?

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.
My system is:

Hi,
Can you pls. provide more details of the issue?

It would be great if you can provide the MSI logs for repair from the %temp% directory.

MSI installer not working MSI 5.0 Windows 7

Hello I am trying to get MSI installer to work and when I go to install anything that has the Windows Installer Package it opens Notepad in a scrambled message. I have tried numerous avenues to no avail (regedit,copy paste regedit, troubleshooters, sfc/scannow,
command prompt etc.) I tried to choose the file association of MSIexec in System32 and it just opens this
I have tried what is suggested in this forum
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/f699e632-54ba-443b-85df-269a7fd6cf1a/windows-installer-not-working?forum=w7itprogeneral and regedit says:
I have tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso1 and didn't work
I have tried changing C :\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V in regedit and that didn't work
I have searched event viewer and all that's in there is a warning and information of successful installs and uninstalls.
I have tried %windir%\system32\msi.dll version in Command prompt and it says that the system cannot execute the specified program
I am thinking it is just a matter of finding the correct file association that the windows installer can use to install that program but I am unable to find that!
I did a system restore but the only good restore was from earlier today and it still just opens notepad. before I did the restore I went into services and the computer couldn't find the file (windows installer) so I did a restore and now it at least sees
the file and I can start the service.
Can I please get some help fixing this? would uninstalling MSI and re-installing it work? I have been searching forum after forum and nothing has yet worked.
I did a clean install of windows a couple of weeks ago
Microsoft answers gives me thee worst answers a person could come up with.

Hi ingenuities,
Try importing these reg file under Safe mode.
If you really need this work, I am supposing the only way is to try importing them manually, if any value key is using by process, use process monitor to filter out these processes and shut them down.I monitored values under MSI.package seems like no
value was using by system.
I exported msi.package and patch to text, it is from a clean Windows 7 intallation。

ICal quits on startup - nothing works

hello, all -
iCal is crashing on startup, and I can't get it to work. I've tried everything I can find on the posts here - including everything commented on in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1011601&start=0&tstart=0 - and nothing works.
Any suggestions?
thanks.

Can't update my AGP driver MSI 648 Max-L

Hello, I have the MSI 648 Max-L (SiS 648 motherboard).

Overclocking on an MSI 648-E Max

Heres are my pc specs:
P4 2.4Ghz B Processor (533Mhz FSB)
80GB Seagate Baracuda
MSI 648E Max ( Bios 1.5 - No HT)
512MB DDR333 CL 2.5 Ram
300 Watt PSU
Geforce 3 Ti200
Heres the prob :
My FSB is @ 133Mhz, but as soon as i increase it above 140, the system becomes very unstable. Anything above 145 and the system does not boot.
I have my Ram set @ Cas 3 , Normal Timing, MA1, 2.6V and @ 167Mhz. I have even tried increasing the CPU VCore to 1.575 and the DDR to 2.8 - alas it does not work.
I want to atleast get the CPU to about 2.6 Ghz stable.
However, im not sure where the problem lies - ive tried just about all the options in the bios.
Is there perhaps something i can do to fix this?
MY PSU Says the following:
+3.3V - 15.0A
+5V - 25.0A
+12V - 12.0A

Oh and my Ram is Apacer with Infineon chips on it. Please help - thanks

Don't bather yourself I have the same problem.
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.
My system is:

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.
Ciao

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.

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.

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.

problem is when i play any game (and a few times during windows sessions), the monitor turns black after some time but the fans, etc. are still running. need to reset the system each time.
other than that, everything seems okay. i tried disabling write combining, video acceleration, change video drivers, tried a selective boot without the startup item, test the memory memtest86, disabled onboard sound, peripherals, got the latest drivers/BIOS for everything BUT i still get the same problem!
don't know if it's the mobo, video card, or what.
can anyone help?

Same problem:
http://www.pclabs.gen.tr/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2431

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.
