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

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

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.

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.

Which 845G Max-L bios version are you running?

Before I flash my 845G Max-L bios from v1.1 to v1.4, I
thought I'd post a message asking what bios version are the owners of the 845G Max-L board are currently running.
I noticed that v1.4 fixes 'CPU microcode', but I don't believe that Intel would leave it to MSI to update the CPU (P4) microcode! What does v1.4 really fix?

I've never flashed an AMI bios (only a Phoenix bios on another computer) but I have two questions .....
I'm currently running WinXP Home with 4 partitions
primary, 2nd, 3rd partitions ( C: D: E: ) are formatted as NTFS, but the 4th partition ( F: ) is FAT.
Should I just copy the amifl827.exe and A6580IMS.140
to the FAT formatted F: partition, reboot using Win98 floppy and flash from the F: partition OR should I just copy them to the ramdisk and run from the ramdisk?
Will amifl827 try to access my C: partition and flake out because it is formatted as NTFS or does it just do it's thing from the partition I'm flashing from and ignore all the other partitions?
Copy the bios files onto a floppy disk and flash from there

845G Max L (MS-6580G) Bios 1.40 Issue

I ran MSI's Live Update 2 and downloaded bios 1.40 for my 845G Max L (MS-6580G).
When I went to run it I got a strange warning and it tried to locate some sort of DOS files.. what is up with this? Is this a beta bios? Is this a mistake?
If not, what is it trying to do? I chose to ignore the error and it did flash my machine, but I am unsure of what it might have missed.
Please Help!
Thanks

845G MAX L

MSI MOTHERBOARD 845G MAX etc
BIOS 1.4
Keyboard microsoft internet PS2 or/also in USB
With PS2 keyboard and direct pressing sleep button
PC reset itself.
With USB keyboard I get a warning that there is something wrong with the keyboard driver.
This happens only with this MOBO.
Never press the sleep button is an option, but not the right one.
Is it depending from BIOS settings . I tries different one but no solution.
Anyone ideas?

Suspend issues are mostly caused by drivers (chipset drivers and VGA drivers mostly).
Install the intel inf and try changing VGA drivers.

845G Max-L Memory Compatibility

Could anyone tell me if Corsair 2700XMS / 3200XMS memory is compatible with 845G Max? ?(

LSU What BIOS Ver u using?....
I have just purchased 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS2700 running at 166Mhz. With one stick works fine (I have checked boths sticks individually). However when I place the 2nd stick into DIMM 3 (as per DIMM config diagram) the machine either fails to boot or hangs... I must admit I haven't tested the second DIMM into DIMM2, but I'm not holding my breath... I have checked the video card too... Placed in my Radeon 9700 locks and also placed in my GF4 Ti4600 and locks too... With one stick (either of them) is fine... One more note I have tried running at 133Mhz too and I still get the same problem...
is it with MSI, can't they release a board that actually works reliably...

Will ddr400 work on 845G Max

I'm thinking of buying a secondhand pc from a mate 4 cheap to do some serious OC'ing.
But i've got a bit of a prob....the mobo only supports upto ddr333 and i can't set
the memory frequency lower on his mobo meaning i can only clock as far as the memory will alow it. So im thinking if i can stick some ddr400 i'll be safe not to fry the memory.
So is it possible to put ddr400 in a board that only supports upto 333?
Its a 845G Max mobo with a 1.8b P4 cpu

Hi Sean
Have tried........NO GO!!! No2 led Green than grass on a fresh cut lawn or
field!!!
Had quick look on MSI tw site......and it's a NO support of DDR400 on 845GE Max.............
As I said.........if mem is cheap and WORKS grab it.....coz you can always upgrade to a faster MB later......Lo54d3L......????

845G Max 2GB RAM... How?

Under the specs for the 845G Max board, it states that it can hold up to 2GB RAM. The board also states that the most it can have in each slot is 512MB... There are only three slots on this board. Where am I going to put another 512 stick at? Or is it incorrectly labled and can hold up 1GB in each slot?

http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=489&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=
Link to 845G Max
States only 3 slots and max module per slot is 512Mb.
The 845GE Max can support 2Gb and is a great mainboard, especially with IAA software..........
So which do you have?

845G Max-L(MS-6580) & G4Ti4200-TD(MS-8870)

Hi,
I'm having trouble with booting up using 845G Max-L(MS-6580) and G4Ti4200-TD(MS-8870).
When the system normally boots up, it first displays the Video card information on the screen then MSI full screen image is displayed, after that Windows starts loading.
However, when I boot the system, it very often does not even show videocard information but the screen just simlpy becomes white (sometimes very light blue or vertical stripes with several colors), then single beep and screen size adjustment seems to happen but it just doesn't go any farther.
So in order to get the system up and running, I just simply repeat rebooting the system. Quite often I have to repeat rebooting around 10 times.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
System:
- 845G Max-L (MS-6580)
- G4Ti4200-TD (MS8870) 128MB
- Intel Celron 2.0GHz
- DDR 128MB PC2100
- Windows XP Home Edition

Okay, I think I finally got it work. It was because of the PCI card that I had on Slot 6. I used Slot 3 instead, then it seems to work fine (shared INT problem?). Even using 250W power supply it works well. (Would it still be better to use 480W?)
Even though the problem seems gone, I'm not still clear about the problem, 'cause using ASUS V6800(old) with PCI card on Slot 6 did not cause the problem.
Do you have clear explanation? I guess I have a lot more stuff to learn.
