MSI 845PE MAX-L mobo no power whatsoever

Hi,
Just upgraded my mobo, RAM & processor to the following:
MSI 845PE MAX-L mainboard
Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
DDR-DIMM PC2700 512MB
Put everything together and worked a treat from Monday. Reinstalled all my software including XP and had everting running smoothly for over 24 hours with the tower boxed up (so no possibility of accidentally touching any componentry).
This morning I tried to switch on the machine and NOTHING. No response from the mobo no fans no lights no beep - nothing.
Checked all leads in place.
Then tried power supply (Eagle ATX 350W Switching Power Supply Pentium 4 compatible) on my old ABIT mobo together with my old 256 Mb SRAM & Hercules 3D Prophet 32MB graphics card. It worked!
So put same setup back on the new MSI mobo, i.e. just graphics card, 512Mb DRAM, power supply & Intel 2.4 processor. Still nothing. Pretty sure got all my leads from the tower in all the right places on Mobo as they matched the previous configuration and that wouldn't have worked before, right?
Whats going on, why does my pc work one day and then can't be arsed the next?

I had an Eagle 350watt PSU come supplied in my new case but i didnt trust the PSU so i took it out without even trying it.
What is your complete system build setup?
Those el-cheapo PSU's are not really upto running the most intense of systems despite what the manufacturers say.
Unplug a few components from off the PSU and try to boot up again... its not impossible the PSU is dead... honestly if you spend alot of money on a new system it seems criminal not to get a decent PSU, im not criticisng here im just surprised how many people dont consider getting a 'good' PSU to power their new state of the art PC's.
Try the unplugging of a few components that connect to the PSU if this dont work for you then if possible try a better PSU (350 watt does not neccesarily mean its good, some cheap 350 watt PSU's are less powerful than a good 300 watt PSU)

can anyone tell me?

hello, nope its support maximum AGP 4x. but good news is that you can use any AGP 8x VGA on it without almost any limitation. differents is quite little. only few visual increament. nothink performance related.

Does MSI 845PE Max supports LBA

In fact all is in the title... Does MSI 845PE MAX (6580) supports for LBA drive?

Yes, as you need to have the patch incorporated in order to recognize the total drive to start with. There is some info here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305098

MSI 845PE Max Lan - MS-6580 Ver.2.0 boot failure

I recently purchased this mainboard and components. All's working fine except for 1 strange issue:
On each 1st boot-up (after I powered down) the harddisk (UDMA 100, 80GB Western Digital) is not detected. This results in a boot failure.
After this 1st failure I reset and from then on booting is OK, harrdisk is succesfully detected (although it always takes about 10-15 seconds before detecting).
Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
This is my config:
- MSI 845PE Max Lan
- 2,4GHz P4
- Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm (set as master, only device on its cable)
- ATI Radeon 9700
- 512 MB DDR (pc2700)
Hope anyone can help out.

Note: FSB533 CPU is required in order to choose DDR333 selection in the BIOS setup
thats what is says here

MSI 845PE Max-L

Is there a compability problem between Radeon 9200 Atlantis,P4 2.66 Gig prosessor and MSI 845PE Max-L ??
Memory module is DDR 400 512 Ram,HD is Maxtor 120 Gig ATA 100
Every single component works fine with my other Motherboard ( MSI 845E Max )
but when I try to start these in 845PE Max-L only thing that happens is prosessor cooler spins 2 seconds...then totally silence....I got a motherboard replaced once
already....
I cleared CMOS
tried another graphic card ( Geforce3 Ti 500 )
Nothing happens even with default settings...
Highly unlikely that two broken motherboards has been given to me !?!?!?!
Please someone tell me what to do..
E-Mail,MSN or here at the Boards...
- THX -

"Lower you DRAM Freq to 333MHz and increase you DDR Voltage to 2.7v, thereafter incrasing your AGP Voltge to 1.6v."
Why ? and how ?
cannot go to BIOS..
and I just asked if there is a compability problem...
Danny : no other cooler movement :(
just prosessorcooler spins few times,
there are no shorts between board and case through the standoffs.
I took motherboard out of case ( in case of that )
Whole F****n thing is starting to me off...
Never had this much problems with MSI-boards :(
So,once again ; every component works in 845E max ,same case,same powersupply etc.
Only sure thing seems to be : 2 broken motherboards ! ( god damn )

MSI 845GE MAX and temperature of power spully

Hello !
I have one problem. I have MSI 845 GE MAX mainboard, Creative Geforce Ti 4600 graphic card, 512 DDR 333 memory and power supply from max power 400 W. When I look in Sisoft Sandra 2003 Professional on mainboard information - temperature sensors I see that power/aux temp. is 53-59 celzius. I changed to new power supply and problem isnt gone. What is wrong does enyone now ? Please help me. THANKS ! ! !
Fila

There is no power supply temp sensor installed, the program is just getting random readings from a non used sensor.

Have the MSI-845Pe MAX(pure version) PCIlock and AGPlock???

I have a question.
I want to buy this motherboard and I don´t know if this motherboard have PCIlock and AGPlock for a little overclocking.
thanks for all.

I'm sure. It's in the bios under "frequency/voltage control".
You have the choice of AUTO (unlocked), and several locked frequencies. Currently have mine set at 66.67/33.3.

845pe max-l mobo, what should dram setting be?

i have ddr333 ram installed, should the dram frequency setting be set to auto or 333 ? does it make any difference?

It (shouldn't) make any difference.

_IDE problems_ with MSI 845PE Max + Win2k

Hi!
I hope somebody have an idea, because I'm out of tip.
I've been using XP, and I had no problem with IDE drivers. But now I decided to install Win2k instead of XP. I installed it, configured everything (VGA + Tuner + Audio ...), and everything looked fine.
But I noticed I have some problem with the Win2k's default IDE drivers, because if I listen to an MP3 and meanwhile I start to copy a big file from CD to HDD, the mp3 playing flickers audibly!!! :( So the mp3 slows down, and sometimes it pauses. And this is not the only symptom of the problem: my HDD is a bit slower than it was under XP (booting is too slow). However it's a quite fast HDD (WD 800BB). And another problem: during CD-writing the writing buffer always decreases to 10-20%, and then increases back to 95%, and again back to 10-20%. So it oscialltes. But under XP it was constantly 95%...
And then I remembered when I installed Intel Applicatin Accelerator under XP, the booting became much faster, and maybe it got faster after booting too.
So I installed IAA 2.2.2 which comes with the mainboard's CD. After install it asks for restart. I click Ok, it starts, and says need another restart, because Win finished installing new drivers. It's ok, restart. Now booting is much faster, everything looks ok, but before I could log in I got a sudden blue death because of "ntoskrnl.exe", and it complained about some memory problem. And next time Win didn't started. Hanged up at booting. :(
Ok, next install of Win2k. And everything is the same: Win2k is ok until I install IAA (I tried it with version 2.3 too, but the same...). So it always does blue death, and sais about memory things. (But memory must be ok, because I had XP before and I had no problem with memory, and I tested it with memtest86 too).
Please, if somebody have the same issue, or knows about any sollution, please tell me a tip what to do! Some kind of another IDE driver for me, or should I configure something else???
I hope somebody helps!
Thx,
Dexx

[
Don't install the IAA, install the intel inf and in the IDE controller's properties enable "DMA if available".
Man! THX! I cannot believe I didn't noticed it wasn't set automatically to DMA if available... But why doesn't windows automatically sets it to DMA ? Argh...
And the IAA? Why doesn't it work on Win2k if it worked on XP correctly? I don't understand.
By the way now the only thing that is missing: my fast booting
But I don't care, now everything looks fine afterall...
Thx,
Dexx

845PE MAX and MSI TI 4800SE Problem! Please Help!

I'm tring to upgrade to a TI 4800SE on the MSI 845PE MAX Motherboard. But windows XP won't boot. I can't get in the BIOS setup. Just the MSI logo at startup, and it retarts every 8 seconds. Please help! Tried uninstalled ATI driver first.
System:
P4 2.4Ghz
MSI 846PE MAX
ATI All-IN-Radeon
Windows XP

Is that video card 4x or 8x AGP. Not sure but I think that mobo only supports 4x agp.

Big Problems w/ 845PE Max-L

Installed today,
P4 2.2
M/B MSI 845PE Max-L
G/F ti4600
512. samsung PC2700
Upon startup,
I get power it seems to everything but, I have a blank screen and i hear 1 beep followed by 8 beeps. It wont go into bios or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Ok...
Unplug all the IDE cables and re-attach JUST the HD cable from the MB to the HD making sure the connectors are on securely and are lined up with the connectors at the back of the hard drive fully.
If that boots to bios screen ok then shutdown again and re-attach JUST the floppy connector (again making sure it securely fitted to both MB and to the back of the floppy) then boot back to the bios screen again to check that its ok with the 2nd cable fitted, then shut down and re-attach the CD-ROM cable... again making 100% sure that all the IDE cables are attached correctly and securely both to the MB and to all components.
Bootup again to BIOS and see if everything is as it should be... (HD, floppy and CDROM all detected properly now?)
Now in the BIOS use auto-detect wherever needed to detect the size of the HD etc (im unfamiliar with your BIOS so the auto detect may not be required but try it anyway) save and exit the BIOS.
Spend a little time attaching the cables to make sure they are ALL attached perfectly... it is very easy to miss align them if you are keen to get the PC up and running.

845pe max - no signal on monitor

Hello. I have problem with booting my pc. There's no any picture on the monitor, though the button lights green without flashing. The signal's are like this: 1, then after pause of about minute 2 beeps, and then 1. The d-bracket stays at position "Initializing floppy drive controller". The floppy isn't connected (though if to connect all the same). Clearing cmos didn't help.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, yes, it worked everything allright before.
I've changed the video for a new one, tried different ram in different slots, changed the battery, cleared cmos with jumper...checked the cables... The monitor is working on another computer.

Problems installing windows2k pro on a 845PE max

hi..
i've recently bought 2 sets of msi 845pe max motherboards and started installing one of them. it was okie... then i started installing the other one but i can't seem to complete copying the files from the cd to the comp and will prompt me telling me that a file cannot be copied over. so windows cannot start up. i swopped components and it didn't work. so finally i tried swopping IDE cables and it worked perfectly..... so i've got a few spare IDE cables and used them and now my working system cannot work! is there a benchmark for IDE cables or wat seems to be the problem?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks bob,
I have read elsewhere on the Internet that windows 8 is supported on bootcamp and that it works.
Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

Msi 655 max fisr ht ready: does it have fsb800 support?

i own msi 655 max fisr mobo, that supports ddr333 and fsb 533 as msi says. but it can handle also ddr 400 through overclocking and the bios has an option for fsb selection up to 250 mhz. according to me, this meens that one can use a cpu at fsb 800 by overclocking the mobo from the bios, even if it doesn't support the microcode of the cpu. does anyone have tested this statement, as at the time it is onlu speculation by me, as it is too expensive for my to buy new cpu and try it.
moreover, my revision of the mobo is stepping b0, thus it supports ht cpus and if it proves to support fsb 800 by overclocking, then i can keep it for a while, upgrading my system only with new cpu. i'll be thankful if anyone can provide me with some information on this topick.

What I am trying to explain is the downclocking of a DDR 400 RAM 1st to 333 Mhz then try to o/c to get DDR 400 or above, not saying that you are wrong.
Any board can support o/c'ing but it is all up to whether the hardwares that you have and their capability to do so as no one can actually determined whether or not the hardwares that you have will definately let you ends up the way it's really meant to be as there's always important facts being left out so it's always trial and error...
I have 2 of these systems running on the same mobo, but the highest I can reached with DDR 400 RAMs are just near DDR 400 not exactly 400 MHz and FSB are at near 170 quad = 170 x 4 = 680FSB... from a FSB 533 CPU. Both have different results as 1 is with DDR 333 RAMs o/c'ed to 380MHz on 2.8 B CPU and another with DDR 400MHz down to 333MHz then o/c'ed up to near 400Mhz on 2.8B CPU also...
