MSI 845G Max-L power problem?

My system is about a month old as follows:
MSI 845G Max-L (MSI-6580)
P4 2.26 Northwood 533bus w/stock Intel fan
512meg Corsair XMS 2700
MSI Geforce4 4400Ti
SB Live 5.1
Maxtor 40Gb ATA 133 7200rpm
56X Aopen CD-rom
16X10X40 Lite-on CD-rw
420watt PS
It was bought and assembled from Ibuypower.com with the harddrive formatted only... no OS installed. I installed WinXP Pro and installed all necessary drivers . Everything was running GREAT until about a week ago, something strange began to happen. When using the shut down option in WinXP, and using "turn off" my computer will power down and sometimes spontaneously reboot instead of the power shutting off completely. Sometimes it will delay 3-4 seconds with all power off, including the case fans, lights, cpu fan, then powers back up. Last night, I powered down before bed and it stayed off...at least that's what I thought... when I woke up this morning, it was back on again. I can't figure for the life of me what is going on.. any help would be appreciated. ?(

make sure all wake on options are of in bios

There diff x4 agp and x8 agp.......... nothing!!!!!!!
Check you have INTEL application accelerator installed!!!!!!!
845GE-Max is very fast mainboard, only the single channel mem make's it slower than 865/875 chipset........ fact
Check ALL drivers are COMPAT with system NOT the latest............. Try older drivers

And everything tested alright according to the techs I don't know how good the techs are that did the testing but I am at my wits end I don't think it is software but I am lost.Anybody got any idea's it would be greatly apreciated.

MSI 6800GT-T2D256E and power problem?

I've got ASUS A8N-Deluxe mobo, Nexus 400W PU and new, bright and shiny MSI 6800GT-T2D256E
And I get the damned:
"The NVIDIA system sentinel is reporting that the nvidia powered graphics card is not receiving sufficient power. To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations."
message...
Tried diffrent lines from PU, different drivers, nothing. I get the message right after login.
One funny little thing: there's a sticker on the power cable that came with the card (close to the 2x3 connector) that says:
For use with RADEON X800 series graphics card only.
Could this be the problem or are the pwr cables the same for 6800's and X800's? Card works the same with or without pwr cable.
Looking from the left side of an open case (w cable attced to the card) there are two wires going into the leftmost holes of the 2x3 connector - yellow (top) and black (bottom).
Here're the PSU specs

I have 20pin and 4 pin pwr connectors connected to the mobo.
Any ideas?

Update:
Tried HEC 475W psu - didn't help. Went back to the store, they tested the card and it seemed to run just fine.
So it's not the card nor the power cord problem. Guys at the strore said - get better psu. But I've tried better psu?!
So I threw out everything exept HDD - no luck.
This brings me to another question. I keep noticing peaple talking not just about watts but amps. My Nexus and that
HEC I tested produce 14 and 15 amps respectively.
Sadly in a small country stores don't keep expensive psu's on they shells. So I should order one. I want to be sure before that.
Any comments on the amperage issue?

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 K7N2 Delta-ILSR Power problem?!

So I worked all last night trying to fix the damn thing. It wants to keep powering off on its own. So I unplugged all the devices from the board and powersupply except the only needed items, the board, power switch, and memory (cpu fan of course left on). Still turns off. Reset bios, still. Put system into safe mode by the jumper. Still.
Okay so I gave up, and took the board, memory and processor into a local place that sells these boards. They have seen a few problems with them. 4 hrs later, $55 short they tell me the heat sink wasn't on the chip right so it caused the board to think it was hot and shut itself down right away! He said he ran it for most of the day. So I am like whatever! He left it on there how he had it. I took it home, hooked it back up, and there it goes again!
The 1st night it ran fine, no hd, but I ran it the whole evening. The 2nd night I powered it up, it started to do this. Nothing changed. So now I am getting ticked off. I am about to take my whole case, and system back to those guys and tell them see....
Anyone who has used this board have any ideas? I have built many systems and this is the first one that is being a pain in the butt.

Powersupply was brand new and came with the case. :(

But if I try again a few times in a row, maybe .5-1 sec it cuts off. I have already reseated the heatsink on the processor again.
Powersupply is rated at:
+12v - 25amps
+3.3v - 28a
+5vsb - 2.0a
Power supplies can go bad at anytime.Take the whole thing up there.Case and all and let them check it out.BTW all power supplies aren't equal. IMHO buy an Antec TruePower 430 or 480 watt

Msi MPower MAX AC Power Saver Question

In the msi bios how do you enable the power saving feature so when the pc is idle or under light load it throttles down to 1.6 ghz.I am using offset now 4.7 with +35 offset for 1.264volts.Any help appreciated.

i think he wanted freq. to drop when the CPU is in idle
if this is correct you need to enable "EIST" and "C-State" states
also you can try switching within windows power profile to "Balanced"
[in some machines when its set to high performance this prevent CPU freq. throttling at idle]

MSi K8N Neo2 platinum: Power problem?

Hello everybody, I'm from vietnam
I have bought a K8N Neo2 Platinum with AMD3000+ (venice, E6) + PSU Acbel 300W (I thibk that it' enough, because I just use this machine for everyday co). But I have a bug:
I shutdown my PC, but I don't disconnect it from the electricity, then, i can start it again.
I shutdown my PC, but I disconnect it from the electricity, then, i cannot start it again- the system starts, the fans move, but just that. i have to clear CMOS, then, the PC can run normal.
I have flash BIOS to the newest (V1.B), but it can;t help!
Thanks a lot for your aid!

i think you need a new PSU.

845G Max problem

My system is running fine at default speed. When it's overclocked to 133MHz FSB, it will always crash at the same spot when booting into Windows. That's when I use the Intel built-in graphics card.
When I use the TNT2, it will only boot into Windows in safe mode at 133MHz. And I see a lot of conflicts in the display card properties, i845G something, can't remember.
There's no option to properly disable the built in AGP. And why is it not working at 133MHz, I thought at 133MHz, everything is running at default speed, right?
Here's my system specs:
P4 1.8A
MSI i845G Max
Corsair PC2700 RAM
Creative TNT2 (when I test)
DLink NIC
BTW, the same processor works fine when it's overclocked to 145MHz FSB using MSI 645DX.

My RAM is a PC2700, even if I change the ratio, it is still within the RAM spec.
Intel Extreme is extremely stable at 100MHz FSB as stated earlier. It will crash at the same spot when booting into Windows at 133MHz FSB.
I tested using a TNT2. It won't even boot into Windows at 100MHz FSB. But using safe mode, TNT2 works fine at 133MHz FSB. But when I checked the display properties, there's a lot of conflicts in between the Intel Extreme and TNT2.
Now my question is, why I can't use my TNT2 even at 100MHz? It was working fine using another MSI 845G Max before I sent for RMA.
Why Intel Extreme doesn't work at 133MHz FSB? I've tried all the memory timings, ratio FYI. It has nothing to do with RAM timings I'm afraid. I tested the same RAM on my KT3. 166MHz at agressive timings run perfectly well.

845G max , VGA drivers slowdown the system

hi, my new machine: C4 1.7G , MSI 845G max, Kingston DDR 256M , Seagate U6 40G. Win2000 Server
Problems:
1. The boot time of win2000 server is too long as more than 1 minute, it is longer than my Celeron 300A system !!! I think it's abnormal.
2. When I have installed win2000 server, then I install the Intel VGA drivers, but after I have finished the VGA drivers installation, the system comes into slow. For example I click right button of the mouse on the desktop, the menu poped out slowly, and when I open a window also slowly.
I have try to upgrade the bios and Intel INF , Intel VGA drivers to last version, but there are no effects.

Did you update win2000 to SP2 or SP3 and update directX8.1?
Preferably the process will be:
-clean install
-SP2/3
-intel inf
-directx8.1b
-VGA drivers

NEED AN EXPERT MSI 648 Max

Need advice. Present computer specs: P4 2.4GHZ 533 FB, Samsung 2700DDR 512, Radeon 9700 Pro, MSI 648 Max Board . Problem Im having is after booting up puter, after about 3 min. cursor arrow changes into a 1 " square. Then screen goes black and puter freezes up. Ive checked out the processor, video card, in another computer. No problems incountered. Do I have a Bad board???

There is a compatibility issue between 648 Max and Radeon 9X00. There are many threads about this issue in this forum. Have you tried updating your BIOS because it should solve some issues?

845G max problems at 133FSB

I've tried several memory modules (Samsung, Micron, etc.) and my PC2100 modules set to run at 266mhz (133fsb in bios 200mhz memory speed) and my system always freezes after about 1/2 hour of gameplay. I know it's not the processor (1.6a running at 133FSB) because it runs stable on my epox board. I finally swapped out the board and replaced it with an epox which works great but I would like to use the MSI 845G. I can have the computer on all day with the MSI but as soon as I play UT2003 or Q3 for about 1/2 hour I get a hard lock. I have no problems whatsoever running at 100mhz (400 quad pumped) FSB. Could it be memory incompatibilities? I've yet to hear from MSI and I have tried all of the BIOS updates. It occurs whether I use 1 module of 512, 2 modules of 256, or one module of 256 DDR (although this is the most stable and last longer before crashing). All the memory settings were set to the slowest.

I'm using a Geforce 2 GTS (Visiontek) and an Enermax P4 400Watt Power Supply. There's a soundblaster live value and a generic video casd. 2 Maxtor hardrives (20gb and 40gb both 5400RPM) a Panasonic 16X DVD and a Mitsumi 24X CDRW. The system is housed ain a chieftec server case with 3 80mm Panaflos. As far as overclocking it is only the processor. I am running the ram at and peripherals at default speed when the FSB is set to 133. I've tested the processor on 4 different other P4 boards (two Epox 845 based, on Via Based, and one SIS based 645) and it works perfectly at 133 FSB at default voltage and runs games for hours without incident. I want to know if there are some settings that I need to change, whether the board is really picky with ram or that the board is not stable when the FSB is set to 133 manually.
