MSI 845E Max2-BLR problems

There seems to be a problem with this board and USB 2.0. It seems that a USB controller shares an IRQ with my VGA (GF4Ti4400). Playing any video files in Windows Media Player would cause a crash once the USB 2.0 drivers are installed.
I've updated the BIOS and used the USB 2.0 drivers available from LiveUpdate(since there was no alternative way of getting them). After a fresh format and reinstall of windowsXP the problem would still persist. I've disabled DirectDraw to prevent the crashes but is there any way to fix this without disabling DirectDraw Acceleration?

hi
do you use usb2?
 i have an abit nforce board with raid
 i have a simple choice usb 2 or fast write speeds with the raid so usb2 is of,its the only via driver on the board
 see if normal usb still works and disable it if you dont use it

  • MSI 845E Max2 - Wierd Problems....

    Hi
    Recently, i made a "little" upgrade in my computer and i decided to buy this:
    MSI 845E Max2 MS-6566E
    512MB DDR 266
    P4 2,4 MHz 400
    ATI Radeon 9700 Pro128 64
    HDD 40GB Seagate Barracuda 7200
    DVD 16/40 Panasonic
    ... and a cheap SB LIve 5.1 ( not enought money  :D )
    Well.. my nightmare begins when i started put all together except ATI, cause it will arrive at next friday, so, i put my old Riva TNT64 32..
    Result... nothing!
    No boot, signal or else.
    I thought was graphic card and i put an older ATI All in wonder pro pci .. nothing again..
    I contact my dealer and he replaced my msi by an Asus P4S333  ;(  until the new msi come and replace again ).
    This problem was a msi defected board or maybe an anoying conflict?
    Will be my new ATI radeon 9700 pro accepted by MSI 845E Max2 MS-6566E?
    I really need help ?(
    Best regards

    whilst i understand your frustration but this is a user to user support forum and the only people you will get dirrect answers from in here are other users who have both your board and the 9700 video card,they appear to be thin on the ground at the momment
    i do hope you saved some of your money for a descent psu as that will be a power hungry system you have their
    you could try here see if any test revues were done with the 9700,the boards i know have problems are 400 via chipsets and early 9700 pcb models below 1.3link

  • MSI 845E Max2-BLR raid controller...

    I've got the upper named motherboard and a big problem with the onboard raid controller. I have 2 HDDs on raid 0. I can't install linux on it. The first thing I made, was that I mailed Promise. They told me, the fault is that on the boards is only a LITE Version. Is there a way, that I can flash it to a normal controller, or am I hopeless lost???
    Cya mike

    you mean on an ide each for raid 0,not the same ide
    lite raid purley means its got less features than full blown version on seperate card,so their comment makes no sense
    ask if its a linux thing here

  • Help! Problem with Microstar 845E Max2-BLR (MS-6398e) and HDD

    Hello ,
    My system configuration :
    P4 1.8 Ghz, Master HDD Samsung 80 GB sw8004h, Slave HDD Samsung 40 GB 7200 obr, Microstar 845E Max2-BLR (MS-6398e) ,Gf 4 TI 4200 DVI 64 DDR , 512 DDR
    Sytstem Win XP pro,
    and i have problem , maybe You can answer me where is the root of this situation.
    I connect harddisks to Ata 133 raid controler (IDE 3 and IDE 4) one disc to one IDE port, when i copy files for example 700 mb from one disc to another one , copy process goes very fast, but when i copy the same file from one partition to another partition on the same disc, this process takes me about 5 minutes!!!! where is the problem??? I installed all software for raid, for ata133, intel aplication accelerator, and nothing changed  :( , my buddy have the same mainboard , hard disks connected identical like me , on his computer copy process of the same file takes about 2 minutes.!!!.   Big thanks for any response for my question. Regards. G@@my

    I would try this ...  leave your ram at 200...
    there is a memory setting .. tha comes set at 8 .. I forgot the name . Doh .. drop it down to 4  
    then set your FSB to 144 ... see what happens ...
    leave the voltage core at defualt. I am doing this with cheap generic 512 ddr 266... .and it works like a charm..
    no cold boot issues or glitchy lock ups .
    I doubt our boards are much different ...  
    I have eard Alot of problems with Kingmax =(! ...
    Samsung seems to be the best bet !

  • Msi 845PE max2 bluetooth problem

    i have a msi 845PE max2 BFIR, intel 2,4/533 , 512 DDR 2700 and im running w2k pro.
    on the other system i also have w2k pro running.
    my problem i have bought an extra msi bluetooth usb key so i could connect wireless to my p4 system.
    after installing the software (ver:1.2.2.15) i can do : receive business cards,make a serial port connection do file transfers.
    the problem that i have is making a network access connection.
    when i try it i get a dail-in screen, i enter admin + password , the bluetooth is then telling me
    "bezig met het registreren van deze computer in het netwerk"
    (busy with registration of this computer in the network)
    after a couple of seconds there is an error.
    (busy with checking of the networkprotocolconnection)
    "TCP/IP heeft fout 718 gerapporteerd : er is een time-out opgetreden van de verbinding tijdens het wachten op een geldig antwoord van de externe computer"
    (TCP/IP has reported error 718 : there has been a time-out for the connection during the waiting on a approved answer of the external computer)
    does anybody know how i can fix this ?
    thanks in forward

    Hi,
    You're using the "Network access" service of the desktop box I guess? That gives you access to the Bluetooth LAN adapter being installed with the Widcomm software. If you want to make some connections out you have to configure Internet connection sharing on the desktop box as well - and ofcourse make sure that the two devices are correctly paired with sufficient permissions in the security config. I have been running about the same setup on a slightly older 845E Max2-BLR MB using XP with virtually zero issues...

  • 845E Max2-BLR (MS-6398) - Suspend problem

    Hello.
    I'm running Windows 2000 Prof and Service Pack 3 on a MS-6398 Mobo. In W2k no Suspend options are available, neither standby nor suspend. If any devices will block this I might have the options but an error message like "system cannot go into standby / suspend because any device ...".
    Does anyone knows a solution that might be work (except changing OS of course )?
    Thanks.
    Martin

    Hello.
    First, thanks for your response.
    Hm, seems like any standard type.
    ACPI-Uniprocessor-PC
    Which type do you prefer for functioning and where is the decvice driver which I need?

  • Slow bootup for MSI 845E Max2

    Hi,
    Recently I installed a MSI Max2 Motherboard/P4 1.8Ghz with Maxtor 7200rpm ATA133 harddisk and Windows98.
    The bootup to Windows98 is very slow. The Windows98 startup screen will stay for at least 30s before going to the desktop. What could be the reason?
    Also how come the ratio settings on the bios is displayed as "Locked" and I could not change the ratio settings.
    Pls help. Thanks.

    Your problem is probobly that you need to assign a manual IP to the NIC in order to prevent the IP being negoshiated each time.
    control panel->network
    find the component TCP/IP->intel Pro 10/100 (or whatever the NIC is showing up as).
    Choose in the proporties to assign a manual IP such as 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 (for example).
    Thanks! I did what you advise to add in a dummy IP address. It does improve the bootup time but still slower compare to my previous system. By the way it took 1min 15sec from bootup to Windows Desktop. Slow right?
    Could it be the IDE cable, I mean is there such a cable call ATA133 or ATA133 uses the same standard IDE cable?  :O

  • MSI 845PE Max2 RAM Problems

    I have some problems with putting in the 2nd RAM stick.
    I m running on a
    P4 2,4 GHz
    1x 256MB DDR333 RAM pc2700 (from nanya or whatever)
    BIOS 1.2 AMI
    When i put the 2nd RAM stick in, (also 1x256 MB DDR 333 RAM pc2700 but from Twinmos) it boots up but shuts down in 3 seconds, and sometimes it just boots up but the screen stays undetected.
    I have tried a Dane-Elec (256 MB DDR 333 RAM pc2700) and the problem kept occuring.
    I have tried several slot combinations and the Twinmos ram stick doesnt work ny itself (?...so didnt the Dane Elec stick)
    What could be my problem?
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Ron

    If you have a module that won't work by itself, I would (suspect) a bad module. May not be seated all the way?
    Another thing with this board.....Slot one supports two banks and slots two and three share two banks.

  • [845 Series] 845E MAx2: CPU cooler and power supply stop when power cable plugged in to HDD

    Board: MSI 845E Max2
    BIOS: 6398E V.1
    UPDATED BIOS: 6398IMS V.5.7 040203
    CPU: Intel Celeron 1,7GHz
    RAM: 512GB Infineon
    Power: ATX 300W
    Hard Disks: WD and Maxtor 10GB-30GB
    Hi all,
    whenever I plug in the power cable to the hard disk computer shuts down after 2-5 seconds. If I try to start it again nothing happens. So I need to plug off and on the ATX-connector again so that the power supply works and the CPU-fan spins. However, as long as a hard drive is attached (it does not even need to be connected to any of the IDE-controller; having connected to the power supply is sufficient) it shuts down.
    Following tests were done:
    1- other hard disks were used
    2- other power supply resources were used
    3- computer was started with short connecting the power switch through the respective pins
    Still the same result. If no hard disk is plugged in, system starts fine.
    So I flashed the bios to A6398ims.570 without connecting the hard disks (since no hard disk drives were available the win98 start diskette created a c drive in the physical memory - afaiu - and I flashed the bios via this generated c drive). But nothing is changed!
    Does anyone have an idea?

    Hi again,
    after reading the PSU guide I used a HDD which was 20GB (an older one of app. 4 years) and system booted normally. It seems that the PSU of 300W was having a difficulty of serving the relative newer HDD with power. I will test it with a min. 400W PSU and let you know if the problem is completely solved.
    Thanks for your helpful comments.

  • MSI 845PE MAX2 FSB 800???

    I've got the MSI 845pe max2, and have been trying to find out if it's possible to get FSB 800 of this board like the MSI 845PE MAX3?

  • Can 845E MAX2 use PC2700-3200

    My system is:
    Win XP Pro
    P4 2.4G
    MSI 845E MAX2
    MSI TI4600
    365w enermax ps
    512M stick of PC2100
    The manual says the motherboard supports pc2100 ddr.
    Was that the best ddr at time of printing? I really want to pull out the pc2100 & drop in 2x 512M sticks of Corsair PC3200 400Mhz DDR.  But does the board support this? How about PC2700?  
    If so, would I have to tweak anything to get it to work right?

    Sounds like I'd be better off going for an extra 512MB stick (3 total) instead of higher Mhz specs.  I've seen a few posts about using PC2700 DDR333 on 845E max2.  
    I basically want to be using the highest spec ram the board can safely take (rather not oc if I dont have to).
    I dont want to buy 2-3 sticks of pc2100 now & later
    upgrade to pc2700; an incredible waste of money when I can get Corsair PC2700 for same price as various brands of PC2100.  I just need to know which type is the max/I should use.  I've seriously looked & cant find the answer.

  • MSI H87i and bluetooth problem

    Hello. I just bought this motherboard. I am using Windows 7 64bit version and I have downloaded and installed all drivers and updates via  Live update. Everything works ok but no Bluetooth. In device list there is no bluetooth device. When try to install bluetooth drivers from motherboard drivers dvd (which came with the mobo), there is grayed option "install bluetooth". Is this Wireless-N 2230 broken? Wifi works normally. When I tried to install bluetooth drivers manually, installer finished it ok but still no bluetooth device!

  • Dual Video Cards with 845e max2

    I cant seem to get dual video cards working with my new MSI 845e max2 board.
    i have one AGP TNT2 64  this card works fine  i have tried two PCI video cards.
    i have also flashed the bios to the Latest release.
    XP with SP1 finds the second video card but says device will not start, i have also tryed different PCI slots, still the same error.
    I would love to get this working due to doing mostly a lot of Video Editing can some one please shed some light on this.
    Many thanks
    MAV

    I have only setup dual Video on 845 Max but
    use nvidia chipset on all cards PCI tnt2 m64s and any AGP that is nvidia
    Use a new driver detonator 30+ and you may have to shuffle the PCI cards around if you have a'hardware conflict
    Works under 9x, W2k and XP
    Make sure all the cards are using the same driver version... you may have to manually udate each driver in some cases

  • MS-6398E 845E Max2

    I need a redhat linux 8 driver for the onboard Promise Fasttrack133 on my MS-6398E 845E Max2 MSI does not have one and Promise does not have one. Other versions dont work. Any help?

    I just found a thread on the OLD Forum with the exact same problem on a different motherboard.  There is still no solution, however.
    Here's the link: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/old_forum/index.php?target=article&tid=22586

    Subject: 845 Ultra CPU or Memory Problems??
    This is our first experience with the MS-6398, 845 Ultra.
    We installed a 2.0 processor and smelled a foul smell, assume the CPU was burnt and returned it for another. We installed another brand new processor and then the D bracket showed 4 LED, indicating CPU problem.
    We then removed the CPU, it appears to still be okay and then for the heck of it, installed another stick of memory. Then the LED's changed to LED2 being green, indicating memory problem.
    Now we're still there, no stick of memory will work, we're using PC2100.
    Are we missing something? Is there a jumper or setting or something that we aren't seeing or reading about.
    Thanks!
