MSI 845 Pro no OS boot

I was working on a computer for my friend and after finding out the problem was the pwer supply we replaced it, only to have the motherboard boot, but only to the state where it will boot from the drives. Then it locks and hangs and does nothing. I Checked everything and I don't know whats wrong with it. Anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong?
MSI 845 Pro with P4 1.7 gig
450 Watt Power Supply
1.5 gig of ram
8500LE ATI video card
Sound Blaster Audigy sound card
DVD Rom
CD RW Rom
40 Gig Western Digital Hard Drive
40 Gig Segate Hard Drive
Like I said it locks up when it should be booting from the hard drive or CDrom drive.

The Video card was failing. It would only boot in VGA mode. The power supply he had was only a 320 watt and knowing that he had a Sound Blaster in it I knew it most likly was the power supply. The new one's specs are
Win 400 PS P4 (450 Peak Watts)
Ac input 115/230 V~,7.5A/4.5A,50-60 Hz
+3.3A +5V +12V -5V -12V +5VSB
15.0A 30A 15A .6A .6A 2.0A
And I removed everything and started from just the chip and worked my way from there adding devices and I didn't find any problems with regards to the beeps. The computer boots to the post fine. It just locks up after the post right before it should boot from the CDrom or floppy or Hard drive. I alos put the other devices in another computer to see if they work and they do, so I am really at a lose as to what is wrong with the board.

MSI 845 Pro - Memory Problems

I have an MSI 845 Pro(FC-PGA2) mainboard.
So far I have tried PNY PC133 129MB DIMMS and Windows keeps resetting itself at random intervals or the logo screen pops up and it will reset.
I then tried an unbranded make of 256MB and it kept freezing during installation.
The only memory that does work is Kingston 65MB PC133.
I have now very PO`ed if this mainboard will not accept any other brand of memory.
Please if you have suggestions then post them or PM me.
If you have had the same problem also please contact me. X(

Run memtest86 on each stick

If they show errors test them in another board as well

My Msi 6163 Pro doesn't boot !

I change the motherboard Msi 6163 Pro of my old PC but it doesn't boot !!
The diagnostic leds are 1010 (Green Red Green Red) : Testing Base and extended memory ... (from 240k to 640k and above 1Mb)
I test 4 different memory modules on this motherboard : they can't all be out of order ....
- I test PC 100-128 SDRAM 16*8
- and PC 100-128M 8*16
Do you have an idea for this problem ? The mainboard, the memory module, the pentium (pentium III 500)
No overclocking, default configuration, bios has been initialised ...
Thanks a lot.

Hi dude !
I have Msi6163 bx master.... This motherboard support copermine.
Yes..it is a big chance that the problem is related to sdram type memory. I personaly have 512MB of sdram (all 4 slots full) I have mixed sdrams... some are 133mhz, some of them are 100mhz. The bus is overclocked to 133mhz from 100mhz so my p3 650 mhz works on 866 since 2001 year without any problem. I have difficulties to find working sdram on this motherboard when i upgraded it with more memory. Some sdram modules didnt work, some of them has been recognized as half of it, boot problems and so go on... I know that in mynual is written whic sdram must be.
I check now on site http://www.crucial.com/ for the answer for your problem. I found this:

MSI 845 Ultra-ARU cannot boot up!!!

i had bought the board for a year.. everything works well... but recently, whenever i on the pc, the D-Led wii show #1, #2, #4 all red, #3 green.... then i flip through the manual book. there stated that it is "initializing keyboard controller"... what does that means??? it there going do to with the bios or the keyboard, or the MB????('?(')
P4 1.5 GHz
MSI 845 Ultra-ARU
Kingston 256 MB PC2100
IBM 40GB HD
Elsa Gladiac 511
Logitech Keyboard & Mouse

Pull out the power cable from the wall (AC 220/110v)
Move the clear CMOS jumper to position 2-3 for a few seconds, then back to position 1-2 and plug the power back.
It's explaind in the manual.

Do MSI 845 Pro mainboard only work with Kingston memory ? Plz Help.

The reason I am asking is because I have a P4 1.4ghz with 65MB Kingston value ram.
I tried upgrading to PNY 128MB PC133 Mhz and the PC kept resetting before Windows ME would even load or it would get into Windows and reset at random intervals.
I then tried and unbraned 256 MB and the same problem occurs.
My PC will only load Windows ME and be 100% stable with the Kingston 65MB PC133 memory.

Hi there...
I have just checked your motherboard on Crucials website becasue they have their own specific memory selector which tells you in advance if their brand of memory will work on your motherboard.
All you do is use the drop down catergaories to select your exact motherboard and Crucial will tell you if their memory is 100% compatible or not (i tested for you and it was fine... but you can test for yourself for piece of mind)
Crucial memory is an excellent brand and i highly recommend them, they have free next day delivery and no quibble money back guarentee and they are not that expensive either... check the link below out and select your motherboard.

I hope this helps resolve your problem.

Unable to boot with MSI X58 PRO-E and OCZ3P1333LV6GK

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum.
I've had this system for about 6 months, and from time to time I kept having instant reboots and once the PC would never start, I think I've sorted that by first flashing an old MB BIOS and then the most recent.
Tree days ago I've had another instant reboot, but now the system stops/reboots when the coloured animation starts to appear above the "Loading windows" message. This happens with both Win7 32 & 64 bits and even with the windows 7 installation DVD !!!
I think I've tried all combinations of the other posts where the MB+memory was the same as mine.
Another strange issue is: the memory PN shown inside the BIOS (OCZ3G1333LV2G) is different from the label on the memory (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)!!
I've already tested with only one memory chip at a time, the result is still the same.
I've only got connected the following: Video board, 1 RAM chip, USB Keyboard & one SATA HD. No over clocking whatsoever !
What else do I need to do to finally boot to windows ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Paulo
My System:
Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E, model MS-7522, version 3.1
BIOS: 8.B
CPU: Intel i7 920
RAM: OCZ3G1333LV6GK (6GB)
Video: Sapphire Vapor-X ATI RAdeon HD 4870 2GB
PSU: Combat Power CP 750W
OS: Windows 7 32 & 64 bits

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the help.
"What are your RAM timings? Screenshot of CPU-Z Memory tab and SPD tab."
I've added a few screenshots of the memory, the SPD & CPU-Z tab, plus a MEM86 test with only on memory stick installed. It appears that the memory is OK... or not ?
"Do you have another video card you can try? Those Sapphire Vapor-X cards have been a problem for others in the past."
I wasn't aware of any problems with this video card, I use it mainly to send movies to my big LCD TV through the HDMI port. I don't have access to another video card, sorry...
I don't know what else to do, do you think it's the PSU ?
Regards,
Paulo

845 Pro(MS-6529) won`t boot

845 Pro(MS-6529) Won`t boot, D-led diagnostic is "Ëarly chipset initialization". What is mean? ?(

Hiya fellas; I know you guys are probably getting frustrated with not being able to POST your systems, But it would be a big help to all of us if you gave us more info (specs.) on your PC's ..It would be a great help if you guys would create singnatures with your profile editor, As we need to know first and most importantly, the specs. of your Powesupply in amps on the Rails..ie+12V=?A, +3.3V=?A, +5.0V=?Amps...This info can be found on the side of the PSU(you will have to remove the PC's side cover)...But until you can create a signature here are a few thing that you can try .....Upon Power up, Enter the BIOS, if you have the option set the Memory timings to SPD (Serial Presence Detect)...Also if you have the option to adjust DRAM (V-DIMM) Voltage, try to set it to 2.7 Volts......Sean REILLY875

Rebooting after it boot up once..[MSI 694T pro]

spec : PIII 1GHhz..
I busted my mainboard a week ago so I ordered MSI 694T pro to replace
well..it seems like working well
but after I leave the computer off for long time,
if I turn on the computer, the computer reboot itself automatically after it goes into Windows..
I thought it was ACPI problem. so I tried to flash the BIOS. I tried all version of BIOS, but none of those BIOS can't fix the problem.
Rebooting occurs only once when I turn on the computer.
After I can use without any problem.
Because of automatic reboot during booting up, Windows gets massed up...
is the board inferior? or is there any way to fix this problem?

I found the problem..
it was one of the memories..
One of those were broken. I tried switching network cards to find out the problems, but I couldn't find anything.
Finally, I parted everything and put those one by one..
oh my gosh...it was the stupid memory...
but still I have a problem
After I reinstalled win2k, one other blue screen msg came out.
Actually, it also came out when I used the broken memory, but I didn't mention about it b/c I thought every problem was from mainboard, which wasn't..
anyway, after I reinstalled w2k, it says this mainboard doesn't support ACPI, but it is supposed to be...
but this msg also comes out only once. After all, it never comes out again..but I just wonder why this happens
thx

Win XP Pro does NOT boot/install on MS-6570 K7N2G-L Bios v.3.4

MSI K7N2G-L (MS-6570) Bios v.3.4 (Approved on AMD's site)
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton Core 333 Mhz
3 x 1 Gig Infineon DDR 2700 333 Mhz run at 2100 266 Mhz
on-board VGA and/or TNT RIVA 64 AGP
Maxtor 120 Gig 8 MB Cache
D-LED Bracket
2 x Antec 80 mm Tri-Color LED system fans
600 Watt CompUSA PSU:
+3.3V = 17A
+5V = 50A
+12V = 23A
-5V = .6A
-12V = .6A
+5Vsb = 2A
I am fairly confident in all of the components and installation...had to trouble shoot for a while just to get to POST--it was a problem w/running 3 x 1 Gig DDR 22700 at 333 Mhz.
Win XP Pro will NOT boot properly--when I start it, I sometimes see the boot screen, and it will hang; or see it very briefly followed by the "Sorry for the inconvenience. Windows did not start properly" bluescreen and a system reboot...
I've tried reinstalling the OS which hangs between the installation and checking your components processes.
Possible causes:
* The RAM is bad, if so, PLEASE advise.
* The PSU is deficient on several power rails, if so, recommend figures PLEASE.
* Any other ideas, PLEASE advise.
Assuming that the RAM, PSU and all the other components are not an issue, PLEASE advise as to what else could be the problem.
I've had a similar problem happen in the past when installing Win XP Home on another Mobo, but worked fine when I installed Win 98 2nd Ed.
Maybe God or a MSI Tech will reply--they're tech support seems to have ignored me...my RMA window has passed w/the reseller. Thank you in advance to those who post.

As for the manual and RAM...screw that...Quote
also do you mean 3 gigs of ram total when you say 3x1gig if so your board only supports 2 gig of ram when it is pc2700...
Yes, I mean 3 Gigs total. I read on Soyo\\\\\\\'s website that it\\\\\\\'s MoBo\\\\\\\'s do that and will only support 3 Gigs at 2100, hence me underclocking my RAM at 266 Mhz. It would have been really useful if MSI\\\\\\\'s documentation would have said the same thing. 3 Gigs at 2700 is the reason my system would NOT even POST. Where did you see that it only supports 2 Gigs at 2700?[/COLOR]
That's not unusual that you would have to do a fresh install of your OS to get it running properly. As far as RAM these boards are very sensitive to types of RAM so You may have trouble with your sticks. As far as 3 1 Gig sticks, unless you are doing some very heavy graphics it is probably overkill and you will find better performance with two sticks running in dual mode. Try it and see which way it runs better for you!

MSI X58 Pro - Latest Chipset Driver

Hi,
Off and on I get an ATAPI error on Windows 7 x64. I'm running a i7 920 on my MSI X58 Pro (NOT the Pro E version).
The symptoms are simple, booting into Windows load screen I get my hard drive light lit up non stop and nothing loads. I'm not sure if its trashing as I'm using an SSD. I've run HD Tune to test all my drives are they have reported them to be fine.
I'll like to update the chipset drivers as a step to solve my problem
The one on the official page shows:
Intel 3/4/5 Chipset Drivers Ver: 9.1.2.1008
Release Date: 2010-07-30
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
This is the one I am using now.
I went to Intel's website and found an more updated one:
Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) Ver: 9.3.0.1019
Release Date: 2011-11-27
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3061&DwnldID=20775&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Desktop+Chipsets&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+X58+Express+Chipset&lang=eng
My question is simple: Should I update my drivers to the one on the Intel site or stick with MSI's one?
Also note that the MSI Pro has been discontinued and I'm not sure if the Pro x58 product page is updated.

If the updates didn't help, to further assist with troubleshooting, a list of all your systems components will be needed. Don't forget to give details of the RAM & the PSU, especially the amps on the +12V rail(s).

Help needed pls!!! GF4 Ti4800 SE 8X on MSI 845 Ultra?

Hi folks,
I just purchased a GF4 Ti4800 SE 128mb 8X.
I own a MSI 845 Ultra ARU (6398), I understand this board only supports up to 4X AGP, but the GF4 card should be able to "downgrade" to work with a 4x motherboard, I hope.
Booting up is ok, but graphics start to tear on the window start-up screen. At the desktop, once i click the mouse, the desktop will hang like for 1 sec, then the monitor switch to Black screen, and then back desktop, this repeats when i click the mouse. There are also some weird colors here and there.
Can anyone pls advise?

Upgrading the BIOS on an MSI x58 Pro

My Mum's Cyberpower i7-920 machine with MSI x58 Pro motherboard periodically fails to boot with the error that there is no boot device.
I figured out a few hacks/workarounds for this, but as it is my Mum's machine, and I'm not always around to help out, I need a better solution.
I posted on the Cyberpower forums and they said: 'Upgrading to the latest BIOS can sometime cure niggly problems lke this on MSI boards.'
As I have never needed to mess around much with the BIOS before, I would like to get some input here as to what people think of this suggestion. Also what is the latest version of the BIOS for the MSI x58 Pro? Any recommendations on the easiest way to do this?
Thanks very much.

Okay, in that case a BIOS Update is probably worth a shot. As said before, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and take the latest BIOS Version from this site: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1744 [v8.D].

MSI K7N420 Pro continous reboots while starting up

I have a computer with the following specs:
MSI-K7N420 Pro
AMD Athalon 1800
Crucial 256MB Ram PC2100
ON board Video
Quantum 40GB HD
Windows XP Pro
Codegen Power Supply 400 W
+5V - 40 Amps = 200W
+3.3V - 20 Amps = 66 W
+12 V - 12 Amps = 144 W
When the system is started up it will show the Windows XP Pro Screen loading, it will then flash a Blue Screen with some error text ~ 200ms and then the computer monitor will show a No Signal Message. The computer will reboot like it is in a loop. Randomly it will make it through the boot and go to safe mode, sometimes it will say the windows had a serious error and when it reports it to microsoft, the response from Microsoft is that the VGA Driver was hung up in a infinite thread. Please check video drivers. After it makes it through the boot sequence, it will run normally sometimes for days before it starts this routine over again. I have the latest bios, drivers and windows updates currently installed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, it seemed to start having most of the problems when Windows XP Service Pack 2 was installed. Six months ago, I had to reformat my harddrive due to missing system files (i.e. ntldr.dll, and others). No problems where found on the Hard drive.
Thanks in advance,
David Thomas
