MSI-6712 Processor and stability

I just upgraded my processor from a AMD Athlon 1.2ghz to a Sempron 2800+ I also Bought a new power supply it is 430w.
My system isnt clocking right still says im running at 1.2ghz I attempted to change the bios to 166mhz as other posts suggest but my computer wont start up when i do so. the processor is straight out of the package. computer runs fine till i attempt to change the bios settings or try and play games. it will just shut off.
Specs are MSI-6712 Motherboard (Bios Version 1.10),Amd Sempron 2800+, ATI 9200 128mb agp.

Did you check and make certain that nothing was covering the thermal pad before you instadded the cpu? Some have plastic covering over the pad to protect it that has to be removed before installation? It need to be cooler before you can reach 166.
Ok Figured out the problem. thanks alot id have never thought it was the heat causing my issues. apreciate the help im up and running good now. Had to make some Heatsink adjustments. it didnt come out of the box exactly like it was suoposed to be installed.
Much apreciated.

MSI-6712 several reboots and unstable 12V

Hi,
After a cold boot my system usually reboots 2/3 times after I login in Windows XP (Clean install). I think it could be the power supply because after these reboots both hdd's have to spin-up again (hdd detection is a few secs longer). So my thought was that my system reboots because my power supply resets because it gets 'overloaded'. (could this be?) but It's again rather strange that it only happens after I login in WinXP
But the strange thing is that after these 2/3 reboots my system boots normal and I can work all day without reboot problems (also 'heavy' game playing). The second thing that PC Alert often shows a very unstable 12V (drops to 10 and then up to 13 according pc alert).
I think I need a bigger power supply but I'd first wanted to be sure if these problems I'm having are typical for a too small power supply. Could anybody give me advice on this matter?
Regards,
Peter

I would say your power supply is on the weak side, especially your 3.3V and 12V lines. Those should be much higher (read the trouble guide for the recommended values). You have a pretty hefty processor in that machine, not to mention a very large hard drive that will take more juice to get and stay spinning. I would say your power supply would be a safe bet on the source of your problems. Be sure to take a look at the rest of the trouble guide while you are at it; it couldn't hurt to do so.

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 915GM4 Motherboard and a P4 s775 2.66/1M/533 Processor - Dont Work

Hello Everyone,
I bought an MSI 915GM4 Motherboard and a P4 s775 2.66/1M/533 Processor yesterday and
assembled it by myself.But when I power it on, it won't display anything nor you can any hear beeping sounds.
So I tried to pull it out from the case to test only the Processor, Motherboard, PowerSupply, Memory and Monitor, but still It won't display nor you can hear beeping sounds that would indicate the cause of the problem.
Later then, I contacted a friend of mine who has a Celeron D s775 Processor and tried it on my MSI Motherboard. Its only the processor that was swapped and nothing else. Guess what? It displays and even loads to windows. So I was started thinking that my own processor might be the problem. But I did not conclude right away that the
processor is the problem and so what I did is I borrowed an Asrock Motherboard (s775)
from the same friend. Now, if this will not work then its confirm that my processor
might be the problem. But I was surprised when it work and still boot up to windows.
Confusion wraps my mind, the next time I started thinking about compatibility issues
and so I visited MSI site looking for CPU Support of my Motherboard and found out that
it should support. Well, to try to resolve this issues I tried flashing the bios for
the motherboard of its latest version updates, but sitll no luck..
Hmmmm.... what could be it? Did I miss something?
Well guys if you could help me on this I really appreciate it.. I don't really know now what move to take.
If anyone has an idea please email me at [email protected]
Thanks in advance...

MSI-6712 BIOS update issues

I have a PC, running XP Pro SP3, which was built for me nigh on 9 years ago.
Motherboard: MSI-6712 (KT4V-L) Version 1.0 (North Bridge KT400A Rev 80, South Bridge VT8235 Rev 00)
CPU: AMD XP2800+ CPU (Socket A 462, 3000 MHz)
Memory: 1.0GB DDR
GPU: nVidia GeForce FX-5200 (128 MB)
About 4 years back I considered updating the BIOS, but the MS LiveUpdate utility (v 3.5 I think it was) no longer worked (wrong URL). Tried updating it, but the update (can’t remember the version) shut down my system whenever I tried to use it. So I rolled back and left it.
Recently, a program I was evaluating (running on .Net 4 Client Profile) caused my PC to freeze up and after uninstalling I discovered all manner of problems with USB peripherals (recognition and auto-play issues).
Tried to restore a backup (Retrospect Express HD) from a Maxtor One Touch III external drive but it wasn’t having it, presumably because of the drive recognition issues, and a straight System Restore wouldn’t complete (because XP would freeze at log off).
I feared there had been hardware damage, but decided to try a clean re-install of XP Pro. The person who built the PC had left a folder of system set up files (VIA chipset 4in1, LAN, RealTek AC97, nVidia drivers, utilities etc) on the hard drive (which I backed up) but when it came to installing XP, I couldn’t figure out which chipset drivers to install, as there were multiple versions (presumably for his purposes). So I let XP install the default windows drivers and then replaced them with the latest VIA 4in1 set for the KT4V-L from the MSI download page (can’t post link) – driver version 5.11a, release 20.4.2007
Seemed to go well, but it was suggested to me that it might be a good time to update the BIOS. So I installed MSI Live Update 5 and ran a scan. Strange thing is that an automatic scan (which pulls up just the nVidia driver and utilities) reports that none are installed and a manual scan reports that the BIOS, Drivers and Utilities are the latest version and no there is need to update. How can that be? I’ve never updated the BIOS and the only other utility I re-installed is PC Alert 5.
Yet when I run a SIW (System Information for Windows) scan and it reports the following:

How is it that Live Update 5 doesn’t pick this up?
So, apologies for the convoluted post (thought it best to explain the events leading to this), but what to do?
1.   Do I need to update the BIOS, given that it has never been done and I now have the latest VIA 4in1 drivers installed?
2.   Why is Live Update 5 not reporting the status correctly and is there anything I can do to correct this.
3.   Otherwise, if a BIOS update, is warranted, should I go ahead and download directly from the Global MSI webpage and then which version? (can’t post link). I note from the version descriptions that it was v1.7 (26/12/2002) that added support for AMD XP 2800. Strange then that the guy who put together my PC, would not have updated the BIOS from v1.0 to 1.7 at that time!!
4.   Should I also update the nVidia driver, and if so, when? Before or after a BIOS update or is that irrelevant?

Edit: Actually, looking at the original SIW scan report I see that there are some errors relating to DirectX. Not sure if I need to update DirectX (surely MS Update does that automatically) and/or the nVidia driver.
5.   One other thing that concerns me is that the SIW scan reports that the BIOS is reporting wrong values for the DDR memory. What’s that about?

Sorry for cross-posting to another forum, but this has got me in a twizzle
http://www.windowsbbs.com/pc-hardware/89688-need-ram-recommendations-msi-kt4v-l-2.html#post493343
According to the poster (Post #30), the KT4V-L can support 3gB DDR400.
I looked at the MB in my PC and it is in fact stamped MS-6712 KT4AV v10A (assumed 1.0A ). Both CPU-Z and SIW report it as a MS-6712 v1.0 (BIOS 07.00T 04/02/01, Firmware 101.114)
According to the MSI product webpage, the only difference between the KT4AV and KT4AV_L is that the latter includes an (optional) on-board 10/100 LAN.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=Detail
The ethernet port on my PC is (as described in Device Manager) is a Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter, whereas in the listed MSI specifications, the optional 10/100 LAN is stated to be a VIA VT6103 LAN controller. So possibly then I was mistaken in assuming that my MB is a KT4AV-L.
Even so, if the statement about the KT4AV-L supporting 3gB DDR400 is true, surely this also applies to the KT4AV ?
Looking at the available BIOS updates on the MSI page, I can see no mention of an upgrade in DDR400 capacity:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=BIOS
Edit: Ah, the guy in the post specifically refers to a KT4V-L v1.1 not KT4AV-L and I see that it is different product:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V---KT4V-L--v1-0-.html#/?div=Detail
What's confusing is that they all designated as MS-6712. So if anyone, like me, does a look up under MS-6712 they could pull up either version, and since the KT4AV/L and KT4V/L have different BIOS update series, I can see how someone could easily flash the wrong BIOS.
That aside, the memory specifications for the KT4V/L are essentially the same as those in the User Guide that came with my KT4AV:
Supports up to 3GB PC1600/2100/2700/3200* DDR SDRAMs
*See Glossary for recommended DDR400 modules - with the largest listed module capacity being 2 x 512MB
So where does this "up to 3GB DDR400 capacity" notion come from. I'd really want to believe it. And if the guy in the PC shop is to be believed, I'd settle for just 2GB.
Edit 2: Oh, boy, so there is a separate product listing for the KT4V-L v1.1:
http://us.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V-L--v1-1-.html#/?div=Detail
Yet, the memory specifications appear to be the same as those for the other MS-6712 versions and BIOS updates are the same as those for the KT4AV-L (very confusing). In fact the downloadable User Guide is the same - 'KT4AV MS-6712 (v1.X) ATX Motherboard'.
Am I missing something here?

MSI x58 ProE and Corsair 12GB (3x4GB) RAM Issues

Greetings!
New poster here with a question that I cannot seem to find an answer to anywhere. I've looked over the forums but have had no luck figuring it out. My goal is to identify the culprit and replace the appropriate parts.
I built this computer in 2009 with the intention of doing OpenCL/CUDA computing and handle all my multimedia. At the time, 6GB DDR3 RAM (3x2GB) was about all I could afford. The machine works great, but lately, attempting to do some video and image processing has been hitting limits on my available RAM. I also want to run a linux VM or two. I thought I would order the Corsair 3x4GB DDR3 kit from NewEgg and not have any problems upgrading. I didn't have any plans of running the 6 and 12 GB sets simultaneously because I thought there would be some sort of memory density/timing issues.
New RAM desired: Corsair Dominator with DHX Pro Connector and Airflow II Fan - DDR3 Memory Kit (CMP12GX3M3A1600C9)
Old RAM in system: Corsair Dominator with DHX Pro Connector - 6GB Triple Channel (CMP6GX3M3A1600C8)
Request 1: Can I mix the 6 and 12 GB sets (for a total of 18GB) if I keep the density the same across each set of slots? There are 3 black (primary) and 3 blue (secondary). I was thinking of putting the 12GB in black, and 6GB in Blue.
I placed the order, received it, and went to install it yesterday. Took the existing 6GB out and dropped the 12GB in, saw that BIOS recogized it with the right timings, and proceeded to boot Windows up. Blue-screen at the very first Windows logo. I thought "well that stinks, let's check to see if the RAM is defective through MemTest." Downloaded an ISO of 4.2, fired it up, and it hung right away. Hung in the "Address Test, Own Address" test. Big fat A note: BIOS and MemTest both recognized the full capacity of the sticks.
My next thought was "Well, one of them might be bad, let's try to find out which one." I individually put each one in the first slot on the board, ran MemTest, and showed 0 problems on any tests with each of them.
Summary thus far: Individually, each 4GB stick works perfectly. In combination, they fail. The full 3x2GB set works perfectly.
My next theory was that my board might be bad (even though the 3x2GB set in the same slots has no issues). Knowing that the first slot was good with every bit of memory I put in there, I left a 4GB stick in slot 1, and dropped a 4GB stick in slot 2. MemTest hung again. Thinking it might have been that one stick, I put the other one in there, and it hung also. So, slot 2 looks suspect. Move the sticks to 1&3, and they look fine, but that still leaves me missing 4GB of RAM.
I've followed advice and re-seated the CPU, looked for bent pins (none found), and tried manually setting the timings to the 9-9-9-24 that is printed on the sticks. No luck with any of that.
Request 2: So, my question to you is what am I missing? I feel like the board is the problem, due to the slot 2 problem with the 4GB sticks. However, my 2GB sticks don't have any problems at all in the same slots. Could the 4GB sticks require a little more power that my board might not be pushing out (the board is labeled at 1.5V, the sticks are labeled 9-9-9-24, 1.65V)? Would a bent pin be causing this that my eyes just cannot see? I read somewhere that a guy had a pin that was 0.25mm off that was causing his problems.
Or should I be looking at the memory? The 3x2GB set works fine, but the 3x4GB does not.
I'm not sure what my next step should be other than replace the RAM first, motherboard second. The RAM I just got, so I could RMA it if I knew exactly what the problem was. The motherboard is approaching 3 years old and presumably is out of warranty. I wouldn't mind replacing it, but I don't want to spend money right now if I don't have to.
I don't have a second machine to test on, although I'm trying to locate one (most of my friends don't build custom PCs). I have also tried putting the 6GB in the black slots and 12GB in the blue, but the machine doesn't work with that configuration either.
Request 3: Could someone explain how I could aim for 1066MHz on my RAM? I read that on the X58 Pro-E that this resolves most problems with random bluescreens. When I try to do this, I get lost in the numbers/options within the BIOS.
Anything else I might be missing? I'm out of ideas
Thank you all so much for the help!

Hi and welcome,
You have 2 "bottlenecks": the processor and the mainboard.

Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) : 24 GB
Memory Types : DDR3-800/1066
Memory Channels : 3

• Supports six unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333*/1600* (OC) DRAM, 24GB Max
As you can see, above 1066MHz you need to overclock both the processor and the mainboard.
I think for your config the best shot is 3 x 4GB DDR3-1333 (9-9-9-24 at 1.55-1.60V)

MSI 785GM-E51 and memory modules problems

Could anyone help me with one problem. I have motherboard MSI 785GM-E51 and 4 memory modules GOODRAM GR 1333D364L9/2G. But when I'm inserting ALL modules my system not starting (even POST procedure). So working variants - when I'm inserting:
- one module in first (boot) slot
or
- they inserted in first and third memory slots
Any ideas?

It is not motherboard problem, but processor itself - I have AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3,4 Ghz Core Revision C2 and this revision (according to the article: http://www.fcenter.ru/online.shtml?articles/hardware/processors/27650#02) has problems with support memory modules DDR3-1333 Mhz more than 2 modules. Conclusion - either adjust BIOS settings concerning memory timings and memory controller voltage or replace this kind of processor with the same type but with core revision C3

umm have you connected the power cable for CPU? sounds rare question for me, sorry .. All I know is CPU is seated into socket where get power. Power ATX 24 pin power connector to mainboard is properly connected. or are you talking about ATX 8 Pin power connector JPWR2? is it that?
. Also I tried and clear CMOS just using 1 stick RAM the slot close to CPU. nothing got it. Debug LED FF . no signs of CPU no debug Led Must see CPU LEDs On . as for me trouble is on CPU or motherboard. when you install CPU did you push hard down and closing lever? I installed CPU like manual say completely embedded into socket and closing lever I didn't pushed . Have To push hard it? what you think about? I 'll Try tomorrow removing motherboard and reinstall Properly as I did and everything back again.

KT4V (MSI-6712) USB Slowness

Hi,
As u can already see from the subject i have the MSI-6712. Im running Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1. I recently purchased the Archos Multimedia Hard Disk which has USB2.0 and firewire. I knew i didnt install the patch, so i did install the patch (VIAEHCX1.INF) and the 4in1 patch. I restarted my PC and it detected the hardware fine as the "JUKEBOX" but it took 4 minutes to transfer a 180MB file, i know this is wrong because i have transfered 500MB in 4 minutes on another PC using USB2.0. In the Device Manager, the USB bit does have 'VIA USB 2.0 Enhanced Host COntroller' but it doesnt seem to be running USB2.0. Can anyone help me,
PM5K

I've had no error message about the device being used in a USB2.0 port but i have been able to open the Hard Disk destination, just has a slow transfer rate. Im thinking that it could be the setup in the Device Manager, Do they seem right to you?

MSI B85-G43 and i5-4460

Hello
I'm planing to buy a new computer set with that motherboard MSI B85-G43 and i5-4460. On official MSI site I read Haswell-Refresh processors
are supported from Bios v3.7. There is my question here. Will the i5-4460 boot with a MSI B85-G43? I mean can I able to enter to BIOS and update it with a new version?
I don't have an older processor which work and supported on 100% on this motherboard.

Thanks for answer and I think I will take standard Haswell instead Haswell Refresh. I don't want to have any problems. i5-4570 should be fine.
Anyway or btw. Is RAM memory Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB (BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU) supported on this motherboard? I didn't see them on list (maybe is out of date) so I want to ask before buy.
edit// I found Crucial Ballistix is supported https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/memory/?compatible_with=msi-motherboard-b85mg43

ESCD error in Kt4V400 (MSI 6712)

I bought a new computer last month with MSI 6712 and AMD XP2000+, and this 3 last days when I start my computer a message error appears saying "ESCD error, press F1 to resume", I don't kwow what can cause the error, but I have not installed anything since I bought it and it has always run without any problem. Can you help me?
Thanks

Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) Its basically how the Bios and the OS connect to each other.
Configuration of hardware and drivers are determined here. If your hardware isn't compatible or not plug in play to your bios then it could cause error. I would check for any missing drivers. Also you can try removing some of your PCI cards to see if it would pass the ESCD.

KT4AV MSI-6712 Dead after BIOS Flash to support XP3000 CPU (Photos)

Hello, I'm a 15-year veteran system administrator and hardware hacker and this is the first time I have ever had what appears to be a truly DEAD mobo killed after a BIOS flash!
Of course I read all the stickies and spent 2 hours research & homework first, before posting here. I tried everything to revive this mobo.
Here's what happened:
MSI-6712 KT4AV system with onboard Audio and Ethernet, Athlon 2800+ CPU, 1GB (2 x 512MB PC2700 DDR) RAM. 300W PSU. It's been running great for years with never an issue. I just got a Athlon 3000+ CPU I wanted to upgrade, but before I did I decided I had better upgrade the BIOS to support this newer CPU, since the BIOS Version History says the later revisions handle the 3000 CPU.
I upgraded the BIOS from DOS Boot via a Bootable USB and it Verified successfully. Then I rebooted and it said something like Invalid CMOS settings, so I entered BIOS Setup to view my new BIOS. I noticed new features like Network Boot ability, so the new BIOS seemed to be a success. (Note this was a soft-reboot, not a hard power-off reboot). I set my normal settings and saved to reboot and the system was DEAD from that point on! No beeps, monitor stays black. CPU fan does run but that's it.
Here is what I have:
(This image is larger if you view it directly)
Things I have tried:
Removing all RAM and vacuuming dust, reseating 1 stick nearest the CPU. (This shouldnt be necessary since I have not removed the ram or disturbed it, but I tried anyway since D-Bracket LED indicates a Memory error.)
Trying a different brand PC2700 DDR RAM stick.
Removing CMOS battery for 10 minutes.
Jumpering Clear CMOS a dozen times. Leaving Clear CMOS jumper overnight (desperate!).
Disconnected all devices from mobo, all HDs, even the AGP video card.
Unfortunately, since the mobo fails so early, it never beeps or initializes the keyboard, so safe-mode INS or CTRL-HOME don't work... so I can't reload my old BIOS backup I carefully saved before I flashed the new one.
As you can see the BIOS chip is soldered directly to the mobo.... so am I 100% dead here? Is there anything I can do?
I am 100% positive I did this BIOS update correctly and there is no reason it should have killed the mobo!

UPDATE: Oh boy, it looks like I may have flashed the WRONG BIOS???!?!
Too possible, that's why i ask

I'm not sure what my old bios version was, I couldn't find any way to tell? The BIOS flash utility did not display my old version anywhere either.
Well you told that you have created BIOS backup before update the BIOS, ==> "so I can't reload my old BIOS backup I carefully saved before I flashed the new one."
Can you upload it somewhere to check it?

I now see that I should have instead flashed BIOS v5.4 for KT4AV: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=552
I am shocked at this mistake... Can such a small discrepency (KT4V-L vs KT4AV) really kill my motherboard? I saw the KT4V-L and thought it was right because my mobo has Onboard LAN...
I'm doomed!

Sure yes, will be no wonder

I have the following system and want to run Elements12 or 13 efficiently; Vista Home Premium 32bit, Intel core 2duo [email protected], 3 GB RAM DDR2, Mobo MSI MS-7267 and on-board graphics chipset. I tried to run Elements9 and was rather slow so you can imagine Elements12 or 13..... Do I have to change the whole system or just buy a suitable VGA card? Which card would be OK for this system? Thanx..

I think that the key here is going from a 32 bit to 64 bit computer operating system where Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 can become 64 bit application in a Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. The increased computer resources implication of that should increase the frequency of getting the larger project taken to a successful complete more than before. A lot of this has to do with multitasking potential.
Premiere Elements does not support CUDA as seen in high end video cards/graphics cards. Since Premiere Elements 9, Premiere Elements has no GPU accelerated effects. But, I would decide on the best card for you based on overall computer rather than just for use in Premiere Elements. If you are interested in computer games, that will impact your card decision.
The use of a non super NVIDIA or ATI card should work for you. But, I have used neither.
I would consider more installed RAM, depending on your computer motherboard slots.
You might want to discuss the choice of the card with NVIDIA.

I suspect that
My desktop and laptop computer both use the integrated Intel HD Graphics where my strengths included installed RAM, free hard drive space, and computer processor.
Please consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

MSI 6712 (KT4V) : list of ATI AGP HD4* cards compatible (no VIA chipset problems

I still have an MSI-6712 MB with an AGP ATI 9600XT but need to get a more powerfull card (no money for new MB and all that comes with this). I had started looking at some AGP ATI HD4* cards but the first one I saw mentioned possible problems with VIA chipsets (dont recall which card). So this made me wonder. I already have a problem where I cannot go higher the ATI Drivers 8.4 (problems with VIA chipsets) but maybe with a new card, I could pass over that problem.
There is no point in looking for AGP Nvidia cards as the strongest I could find was about the same as my ATI 9600XT. SO I am stuck with going for ATI. Also, having Linux partitions, the ATI drivers no longer support less then an HD* card (so does XP).
I want to know which AGP ATI HD* cards have NO problems AT ALL with an MSI-6712 and all its VIA chipsets.
I am just tring to get better graphics with my games (some stopped working) at the lowest cost possible until I have a better salary (probably next year).

X1950 is a powerful AGP card. Still stands ground well. A little power hungry though, and mind you get one with a quiet fan - they can be a bit noisy. Don't know quite, but around 20 Amps on the PSU:s 12 volt line might do, perhaps a little more. Please have a look at the side of your PSU, especially if you are on a budget. - I'm always on a budget, but I'm a clerk sort of.
Haven't heard about the VIA comp. problems. Usually there are ways around every obstacle, or climb it for fun.
