MSI 845 Ultra - Ram probs

I have just recently purchased a MSI 845 Ultra with RAID...it seems my 3rd memory slot does not want to accept ram. I have tryed 2 different models of working ram and each time i try to boot up my system will not post, it powers up but the hard drive light stays light and it does not post. i dont know if this 3rd slot is defective or what. just wondering if any else has had the same problem or maybe i got a faulty board.  ?(

  • Help with motherboard MSI 845 Ultra-C

    Hello, I have a problem with this motherboard:
    When I connect something in the PCi slot, Windows recognize there are something there, but i can´t install it because it can't recognize the drivers. I tried to change the slot, I have installed the last drivers of the motherboard and there is no way to use the PCIs slot. All the things I have tried, works perfectly in another computer, i have the original drivers and they have work time ago. If anyone can help i'll very very pleased. Thank you!
    edit: I have made a clear CMOS and it doesn't work
    Forgive muy English, but i`m spanish.
    In Spanish:
    Buenas tengo un problema con mis puertos PCIs de una placa MSI 845 Ultra-C.
    Cuando conecto algo a un puerto PCI (en concreto una tarjeta avermedia con sus drivers de casa, una tarjeta de red Realtek con sus drivers y otra tarjeta de red conceptronic c100i probadas en otros ordenadores y va perfecto) windows me dice q se a detectado un dispositivo pero nunca puede llegar a localizarlos, y ya creo q no es de los drivers. Sabeis de que puede ser?
    Ya he probado a quitarlo y ponerlo en todos los puertos cada cosa por separado, han funcionado en este pc alguna vez tambien y ahora no van. Muchas gracias por su ayuda
    Edito: Tambien he actualizado la placa base con los ultimos drivers q existian

  • MSI 845 Ultra - Fasttrack Error in w2k Events

    Hello!
    I have a little prob with my MSI 845 Ultra under Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
    I installed W2K without problems, service packed, patched it, etc...
    But I alway see an error in the System Event Log :
    "The device, \Device\Scsi\Fasttrak1, did not respond
    within the timeout period. "
    That's a bit annoying  :(
    Does anyone already seen that ? What can I do to resolve that ?
    Thank you in advance !

  • 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?

  • P4 Northwood 533FSB on an MSI 845 Ultra ARU

    Just got a simple question here.  Have not been able to find an answer anywhere, so thought I would ask.  Does the MSI 845 Ultra-ARU support the P4 Socket 478 533 FSB proc?  I was running a 478 1.6 @ 2.1 on it, and wanted to get the pops a 2.4 to run on it, so he would not have to overclock.  Game him the board, and Alpha, vid., and memory, and wanted to polish it off with this proc to get him off of the old 700 Athlon (just isn't right  to keep yo dad @ 700 when you have 2 @ 2.1  :D ).
    TIA for the input.
    Darrell

    Doesn't support 533mhz FSB cpus. Only 400 but up to 2.6ghz. You can get your Pops a 2.4ghz 400mhz fsb cpu.

  • MSI 645 Ultra-C vs MSI 845 Ultra-C

    Can somebody tell me widh mobo from this 2 is better.
    For the moment I use MSI 845 Ultra-C but I'm not satisfy by it.
    Its recommend to change it with MSI 645 Ultra-C (MSI 645 Ultra) or not?
    Thanks.

    I don't think that MSI 845 Ultra-C its a good mobo, I had problems with it from the 1st day I have it. I change it once. I don't know what to say I don't see some performances from my P4, and I think the mobo its the problem here. Or maybe its because I have just an GForce 2 MX400 and 128 DDRAM?
    Now I just install WIN .NET Webserver Edition and it seems to work fine, but with WIN XP Pro its not working at all. Maybe you give some advices because I really don't know what to do.
    Another ideea that cross my mind it was to chenge it with MSI K7N420 PRO + Athlon XP 1600+. Is this a better ideea?
    Thanks

  • MSI 845 Ultra-C and Western Digital WD1600BB

    Hi!
    I've got a problem with a MSI 845 Ultra-C based computer.
    It worked before but there were problems with it's HDD and I wanted to install a new and bought a Western Digital WD1600BB. I connected the IDE drives like this:
    IDE1: Western Digital WD1600BB (Master)
    IDE2: Samsung Combo drive (Master) and the Other 80GB HDD (Slave)
    The problem is that it doesn't detect the combo drive. When I push the button on it tha tray opens and everything looks nice except the bios. Before that the 80GB HDD and the combo worked well.
    What should I do ? I would like to know if this motherboard can handle 160GB HDDs.
    By the way this is my neighbours PC so please answer quickly if you can.

  • MSI 845 Ultra C with sound card???

    I recently bought a P4 2 Ghz with MSI 845 Ultra C, Geforce 4 Ti4200 128.
    A few weeks later i bought a simple sound card with surround support. Now when i try to install this software (Xp compatible) i get the error that the sound card is not installed and that the data is incorrect. I use the latest drivers from the internet. I believe this problem had to do with the onboard sound card of the motherboard. Is there anyway i can disable that???

    it is an XP bug, you might try windows update to see if MS fixed it.
    Here is for example ATI's doumentation of the error.
    I assume the bug won't be fixed by the update, so in that case you need to reinstall XP with the card already insalled in the slot.

  • Msi 845 Ultra C, Ddram Pc333

    My P4 2.4GHz on MSI 845 ULTRA C has DDRAM with 333 MGHz.  The FSB is set to 133 MGHz. However the multiplier is set to 18, and locked in BIOS setup. I want to set FSB from 133 to 166.5 without overclocking the CPU to enable the memmory overcklocking from 266 to 333. How to do it? Or is there another possibility to use 333MGhz with the memmory to utilise its speed?

    Presuming I understood your comment  I should rise FSB to maximum. This could mean the CPU overclock from 2.4GHz up to app. 2.8GHz. Isn't it too dangerous just for speeding up the memmory?
    PS: my mobo is 845-c ultra not i845d
    PS2: [QUOTE:you are actually overclocking your Memory-
       DOES this mean I oveclock the memmory not the CPU? Please explain
    Thanks

However, if you are using 533MHz CPU on i845D without official support of 533MHz, you are actually overclocking your Memory. Default detting of i845D is 400MHz FSB/266MHz DDRAM clock. If FSB overclcoked to 533MHz, your memory will work on 33% more, so on 333 MHz

  • MSI 745 Ultra RAM Problem!!!

    Hello,
    I currently have a MSI 745 Ultra Motherboard with the latest installed firmware.
    Ok here is my problem.
    I bought 2 sticks of ram from http://www.crucial.com/uk, the memory was 512MB 333Mhz.  I instantly started getting errors within windows, something like "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA", the error occurred totally at random, the computer can be running for 5 mins or 5 hours before the error occurs and I can be doing anything from playing a game or browsing the internet.
    First thing I did was run memtest to see if there was a fault with the memory, It found no errors at all.
    Second thing I tried was to reinstall windows, This didnt solve the error ethier.
    Third thing I tried was to only use one memory module, This is the odd thing, Both memory modules work fine on there own with no errors at all.
    Can you please help?

    I am having problems with my new MSI 745 Ultra. It finishes post, but fails to load Win XP. It gives me 5 options: boot into safe mode, safe mode with network connections, safe mode with command prompt, last know good config, continue loading windows.
