MSI 6590 K4-Ultra CMOS Problem.

Hello,
I have a problem with the MSI 6590 Motherboard, There is a problem with the CMOS Jumper. If it is set to 1-2 the board will now power on. There isno power going to the board. If the CMOS Jumper is set to 2-3 the board will get power. Has anyone had this problem, and if so how did you fix this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance...

I see.
My board also says 1-2 to keep and 2-3 to reset.
When its on 2-3, and you change a setting in the BIOS, does it remain?
To test this you must turn the PC off and back on.
If it does then you could have made a mistake with the pin numbers.
It is possible
Is something shorting?, try taking the board out and put in back in.

Msi 6570 delta ilsr/msi 6590 kt4 ultra

Hi could anyone here tell me if it is worth upgrading from a MSI 6590 KT4 ULTRA to a MSI 6570 Delta Ilsr Mainboard . Thanks in advance.

the good thing with nforce is the locked agp and pci
so as that cpu uses 13 as a multiplier you might be able to o/c it ok but not much more that the 180 or so you should get now on the old board
the main benefit with the board is with pc 3200 and an xp 2500 now as new cpu are locked
as most of them will get up around 200 fsb x11
best of all you would get soundstorm
but read as boards fussy on ram and you did not post details as asked

MSI KT4V-L Ultra Power Problems

Hi,
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I need an answer quickly and this seemed the best place to ask...
I have just built a system with the following specs:
MSI KT4V-L Ultra
Athlon XP 2100
256 DDR 2700
350 W PS (came with a fairly exspensive case)
32MB TNT 2
Built it - fired up no problem with case open. Installed Windows 98 no problem. Installed a few more items of software - no problem. Everything running - no crashes/stability issues.
I then re-attatched the sides and front of the case, and turn the PC on. Nothing happens. I turn off the switch at the back of the power supply and then turn it on again. Upon pressing the power button on the case the Diagnostic LEDs + case power LED flash very briefly and then nothing. The Power supply fan does not turn.
Does this problem sound like the mobo or the PSU? I know the next stage is to test the PSU on its own but unfortunatley I can't do that from work!
Has anyone come across a problem like this before? My instinct tells me it is the PSU as I have changed nothing on the mobo - Any help/advice really appreciated!

Thanks - I'm really hoping it's not the mobo.
Would that explain why there is power for a fleeting moment before it dies?
If I try the power switch at the front again after one failure nothing at all happens - until I turn the Power supply switch off and then on again...
What is the easiest way to test the switch - would shorting the two Power Switch pins on the motherboard do it?
(Is this a common problem?!?)

MSI FX 5700 Ultra problem with linux

Hi,
I know that linux are not officially suported by MSI VGA cards, but NVIDIA based VGA cards use to work under linux. I've got a problem with a recent purchase and until now I didn't found any answer.
Here is my problem, if anyone here have an idea :
I recently upgraded my video card Geforce 2 MX to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra from MSI (FX 5700 Ultra TD128).
I've an Athlon XP 2000,
motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, 512 Mb,
distrib Mandrake 9.2
latest nvidia driver 5328
At startup after installation, Mandrake detected a new hardware, but it was not the right card name. The video test failed and X (graphic mode) didn't start.
Back to console mode, I discovered that even the console mode doesn't work properly : I have no cursor and the screen lines don't scroll up when the screen gets full (very hard to type commands or edit files).
I checked the XF86Config-4 : for me it seems ok. Actually, it didn't change from the previous card.
I've no errors in the XFree log (no lines with (EE)).
I went to the MSI site to look for a newer bios version, but there is'nt.
I tried both DVI and VGA connection with my LCD monitor, same thing.
I also tried running Knoppix (liveCD distrib), same prob.
I pasted below the message i've got on screen when I try to start X manually (this doesn't help much either) :
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
It seems to me that this graphic card simply doesn't work under linux.
Thanks a lot for any help.

To get X to work with your LCD during the installation process append nofb as one of the installation options.
I have a 17" LCD so you might like to compare the relevant sections in your XF86Config with these:
Section "Module"
   Load "dbe"
   Load "extmod"
   Load "fbdevhw"
   Load "glx"
Load "dri"
   Load "record"
   Load "freetype"
   Load "type1"
EndSection
(The Load "dri" gets removed prior to installing nvidia's Forceware drivers.)
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Monitor0"
   VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
   ModelName "CML174SX"
   DisplaySize 340   270
   HorizSync 24.0 - 80.0
   VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
   Option    "dpms"

Problems MSI GeForceFX 5950 Ultra

PC specifications:
Satellite PSU 500W (422) this one is really cheap...
PC ATX CASE with 3 exaust fans (1 pci / 1 lateral / 1 back)
MOBO ABIT NF7-S
Atlhon XP Barton 2.5 ghz (thermaltake vulano 9)

HD Maxtor ATA133 80GB 7200rpm

PS2 PC clone gamepad
Keyboard and flopydisk
Problem - Some freaking FPS slowdown on any game with any video quality settings (battlefield, farcry, doom3, Wining Eleven 7, Need for Speed Underground, Unreal 2004, Jedi Academy and others).
What I already have checked - I just got my new video card, msi geforcefx 5950 ultra, and i got some minor stability problems. First of all I would like to say that I'm no newbie and I already checked:
1. I got all lastest bios and drivers: from my MOBO chipset (nforce2) and video card (from the MSI site, not from the nvidia site).
2. I think it couldn't be any compability problems with my MOBO chipset (it is nvidia too) and video card.
3. Any thermal problems (I'm very paranoic about that), got 3 fan\exaust on the pc case, and i only use thermaltake coolers/exaust.
4. My ram memory clock it is set to 333mhz just like my fsb for more stability.
5. The video card IRQ it is fine.
6. Bios configuration. I've test my AGP settings with and without AGP Fastwrites and PCI enchant (other bios options u guys have told me to leave as default like agp voltage and clock settings).
7. My PSU is 500w (422) and the I didn't connect anything on the power line that goes to the card.
8. I used driver cleaner 3.2 to clean my last msi fx 5200 drivers.
so here we go...
Question one - I've read all the posts just like mine, and seems that my problem it is with the PC PSU, but my PSU it is 500W, it was pretty cheap but it is 500W and u guys and the video card manual have told me that the minimum required it is 350w, well the specs of the PSU it is +3.3v 28A, +5V 50A (230W), +12V 18A (216W). I saw in some post that my card would need a 24A on the 12V line, and a 32A would be the real deal for overclocking, is that true? Will I have to buy another one???
Question two - By the way I used to have a msi geforcefx 5200 tdr-128, and when I changed the Video cards I just unistaled the video card drivers, is it enought? Or there is some freaking windows registration of my 5200 driver corrupting my 5950 performance. Will I have to Format my PC???
Question tree - Why when I try to an output video resolution below 640x480 to ANY TV (already tested on 5 TV) with S-video or RCA cables, the video files (divx/xvid...) get all overlapped???
Question fuor - If I change my drivers from de MSI nVidia to the original nvidia, will I get more stability???
So can u guys help me... thanks

1.) You should be ok with 18 amps on the 12v rail, but that is bare minimum!
If you have poor airflow in your case, the power supply's efficiency will drop considerably due to excess heat. The voltages/amps can drop below acceptable levels and cause instability.
2.) It is possible that leftover registry entries and bad keys are crapping up your registry. If it's been a while since you've reformatted and you've installed/uninstalled lots of software since then, it might be something to consider.
However, I reccomend that you dump MSI drivers for the time being, and try the latest Forceware, go here for the latest nVidia Drivers you can also visit the archive if you'd like an earlier version here http://ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/
Consider this procedure and use at your own risk.
Make sure to have the latest drivers downloaded.
I.) Disable System Restore and then procede to Control Panel and remove the VGA drivers. DO NOT REBOOT
II.)Run driver cleaner (I click the clean button at least twice) NOW REBOOT
III.) Ignore the hardware wizard and go directly to where you have the latest drivers and run the setup.
You may want to consider fresh chipset drivers.
3.) Not a clue
4.) Possible, but the overall condition of your OS, the process in wich you install drivers, and proper cooling, can have either an isolated or accumulative effect on overall stability of your system.
And Just to let you know, MSI employees don't visit this sight, a simple bump would eventually get someones attention (that's willing and able to answer your questions)

MSI-6712 KT400 Ultra, AMD Processor Problems

HI!
I recently bought an MSI-6712 KT400 Ultra motherboard for an AMD 2400+ XP processor. I loaded up the PC and in the BIOS its pickup its a 1500+ and the same in windows XP Pro.
Is there some sort of BIOS update or something.
Thanks For Reading.

just set fsb to 133 in the bios

Msi S939 nf4 ultra sli pci-e live2 and windows SP2 ??? need help

Ok so i just bought Msi S939 nf4 ultra sli pci-e live2 and after i have installed the motherboard and everything went fine untill i installed Servise Pack 2. Does this motherboard even work with sp2? the problem is that when i boot my Pc it reboots before i can even get to windows, and giving an error that i can't read becose of that reboot, i have allso tryed to log in with safe mode but it does the same thing, what can i do? updating bios helps? i dont know what version i have, its the one that comes with the mb cd... PLEASE HELP ME !!!

First steps:
When opening a mobo from it box and before mounting it in your PC , clear cmos w/jumper (you never know whats stored on it in cmos from testing etc)
Next boot directly to bios when having it powered and load optimized defaults ( this sets ACPI/MPS/DMA etc. in usable values)
(some options are even not shown anymore , so make sure to load "Optimized Defaults" before continuing.
Restart it a few times until update DMI pool is no longer dispalyed in post screen.
Then proceed wit install of xp.
Installing windows xp .
To be "absolutely sure use F5 key when xp setup displays press F6 to load raid drivers .
Then you can select the correct HAL for your system .
With single core cpu select "ACPI Uniprocessor" and
with dual core select "ACPI Multiprocessor" .
This will ensure you have a xp installation and bios match for your system , and a troublefree win install.

MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
What ive done to come to this conclusion:
- Reinstalled Windows twice,
- Replaced CMOS Battery,
- Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
- Moved CMOS jumper,
- Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
- Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
- Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
- Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
- Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
P.S.
A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.

Add this to your modprobe.conf :

It will add a headphones switch to your alsa control which if you disable will mute the onboard speakers.

MSI 6967 or PC2PC license problems!!

I have 2 MSI 6967, also known as PC2PC. The drivers on CD are erratic, but I previously managed to get it to work fine with a upgrade to a newer 1.3.x driver. Now with 1.4.x the damn thing is asking for a license key on install (I was unable to retain the compressed driver file that worked, regrettably).
So I went to the slightly rubbish web form to get these, and I entered the correct BD address for each of my devices (I know this to be true, as I when I try to re-register these the web service gives a 'rogue registration' response, so it must store the registered BD's), and obtained a 32-digit key for each.
When it asks for one of these keys on install, I give it, and it seems ok. That is, until it has finished, whereupon the bluetooth system tray icon remains red (inactive, or problem), and only the option to 'Start using Bluetooth' is given on right-click. Naturally I tried this, but it says:
"Your bluetooth software license does not include use with this Bluetooth device. [6]"
When I click OK, it then tries to get me to point it to a new, valid license file. The only one I can see is in the unpacked files that came with the driver download.
I entered the BD correctly on registration, and it must have been valid as I got a 'valid' response i.e. the web form authorised it as an MSI bluetooth device with that address (presumably the whole purpose of the form, apart from spamming you to high heaven). I can't do anything else now as it won't let me re-register these BD's anyway. I can't find the mysterious older driver that worked now, as you can only download the latest (i.e. ) one. I can't even verify the BD's now, as it doesn't give me the option to go to configuration of the device (although surely they are fixed identifiers anyway, like MAC addresses?).
Come on MSI, this is POOR service!! I own these devices, I paid for them, you let me use them for a while and now you have told me to shove it... If there is no way around this insanely crap rigmarole, please make a driver history available.
I recently ordered a new-build pc, and I specifically avoided MSI motherboards and other components because of this specific problem I am having with my 'legacy' MSI bluetooth omponents.
Can someone please let me know how I can get my stuff working again?

hi
i bought the adapter today and it was shipped with the old 1.3.1 drivers that didnt work on my w2k pc *EDIT*(bttray say no device, but w2k devicemanager say device is ok and drivers are running)*/EDIT*. so i tried to get the update and ran into the same stupid problems (wrong license file message) :(. the only positive think is that by reading in this forum i find out that:
1. im not alone with my problems.
2. if msi was thinking when the talk about 'link to the future', that i have to read lots of rather old postings, that only states that msi didnt care about the problems, or simply can't fix them. and the only solution ist to go to the darkest corners of the internet to get a crack for something that i already payed for. i think its better for me to stay in the past and never again buy parts from msi, not for me nor for any of my customers (i'm nearly 15 year's in the pc/network troubleshooting bussines).
3. tomorrow i have to go back to the schop where i bought this useless pice of hardware and give it back. then i wait that the acer adapters are available again. (i use already one on my notebook and was fully satisfied with it, and had mostly no problems at all, at least not such stupid ones).

Msi fx 5600 ultra not on msi website

I just ordered a msi fx 5600 ultra, and I kinda worried now because there is no mention of the fx 5600 ultra on offical MSI Site. I see the regular fx 5600, but the the ultra. anyone know what the deal is here? Also after reading some reviews on the ultra vs ati 9500 pro, i might just get an ati card since the ultra falls way short of ati. whats your opinion?

kal,
I think you should wait till the card arrives and you test it and see what you think. I am sure the card will give you more than enough eye candy.
Take Care,
Richard

how did you correct this problem

MOVED: MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did. When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life. Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine. Start with CPU and memory?
Good luck.
