MSI FX5900 Ultra Installation

Hi,
I'm having difficulty installing the drivers for a MSI FX 5900 Ultra. The following explains:-
1. Upgraded to Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard with 3.2 MHx P4, 1 GByte DDR 3200 RAM and MSI GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, using same hard drive without re-installing the operating system initially. PSU is a 430W Enermax.
2. Had trouble (as described below) installing FX 5900 Ultra drivers but eventually after a few attempts it appeared to work but there were problems with a flight simulator (Falcon 4) locking up frequently so decided to do a complete re-install.
3. Re-installed Win98SE, with the FX 5900 Ultra being the only card fitted and it worked correctly on the Standard VGA drivers.
4. Installed nVIDIA 44.03 drivers by running Setup on the MSI CD.
5. Restarted when prompted, reached Windows Logo screen, then reached C:\ prompt but would not go any further.
6. Restarted and it went to Safe Mode on the Startup Menu. Continued the restart in Safe Mode and Device Manager showed MSI MS-Starforce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra installed, hardware version 161, on IRQ 5 with "This device is working properly".
7. Restarted and went to startup menu again then selected Normal and continued the restart. This gave "Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer."
8. I've tried installing the drivers by using "Update Driver" in the Device Manager and browsing to the CD but the same thing happens.
9. I've tried installing DirectX 9.0 before installing the FX 5900 drivers and the same thing happens.
10 I've tried the nVidia 4.03 drivers and the Detonator 45.23 drivers and the same thing happens.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

The motherboard chipset drivers (excluding those for the onboard LAN and audio) were installed before the nVidia drivers.
I re-installed the operating system (item 3 in my first post).
P.S.
Just used Driver Cleaner and tried again but still no joy.

PSU sutiable for a MSI FX5900 Ultra 256MB?

Guys,
Is this PSU sutiable for a MSI FX5900 Ultra 256MB?
It's a 520W HiperPower PSU Quiet Triple Fan (Active Fan Control) Active PFC.
Sorry Wonkanoby and Deathstalker I just cant afford a Antec or Enermax at the moment, but this PSU does not look so bad?
Click this link to see PSU power details

You just have to dig a bit further into that link...(albeit for a 350)
From the numbers and the reviews, looks half decent. Only thing that catches the eye is the rather low max amps on the +3.3 in light of the overall TCO. (Should be a problem only if you have gobs of memory and things powered via the USB.)

MSI FX5900 Ultra 256 MB and MSI 648 MAX

I have just installed my new FX5900 Ultra graphics card and when ever the card runs any 3D application for more than a couple of minutes, my PC will instantly shut down. The only way I can get it back up, is to remove my power cable from the PSU and wait about 20 seconds and then the PC will boot again.
I have checked the temperature of the card before and after the shutdown; and the latest Nvidia reference drivers show a GPU core temperature of 37 C. In addition, if I put my original GeForce 3 back into my computer, I experience no problems.
Looking on the internet, I have come across other people who have had a similar problem and this was resolved by changing the AGP slot to run at 4x rather than 8x. I have gone through the 648 Max BIOS and am unable to find anywhere where I can step down to 4x AGP.
Any Help Will Be Greatly Received.
Regards,
Macross

Thanks for your help guys. Whilst I have not been able to pick up my new powersupply, I have removed the Q-Tec 400W and put my old 300W PSU back, and guess what?? My PC has not shutdown since.
This power supply lark is totally new to me, and it does seem that a good quality 300W PSU can be better than a average 400W. I have never looked at the 3.3, +5 and +12 before, just the total wattage. Well, you do live and learn. Though it would have been nice if MSI put information like this in the manual of the card, or the WEB FAQ's.
I shall pick up my new 520W PSU on Saturday. Then I can put this new 5900 Ultra through its paces!!
Thanks
Macross.

MSI FX5900 Ultra VTD256

After using the Radeon 9700 Pro for the last year I have decided to upgrade to the above.
It arrived today and all I've had is problems.
I updated al my drivers for my Chipset (Intel 860series), I uninstalled all drivers for the ATI Product.
I removed the old card and inserted the new card. On booting it found the new VGA Controller and started to install the software as per the manual.
After installation it rebooted and it was unable to boot, just came up with a blue screen for a millisecond, th all i could do to boot was use last know configuration (which does not include the Fx Drivers).
I have removed all devices from the PC just Keyboard and Mouse and installed again and still the same problem.
Help: ;(

First Answer: yes Powered up no problems there,
PC: Compaq Evo w6ooo Workstation
Power Supply: PFC 450watt Dual Voltage
Windows XP, SP1
2 x INTEL XEON 2.4GHZ PROCESSOR WITH 512KB L2 CACHE
INTEL 860 CHIPSET WITH 400MHZ FSB
2Gb ECC PC800 RDRAM
40GB ULTRA160 10K RPM HARD DRIVE

40x/12x/40x CD-RW
INTEGRATED ULTRA160 SCSI AND ULTRA ATA/100 CONTROLLERS
INTEGRATED INTEL PRO/100+ MANAGEMENT ADAPTER WITH WOL AND AOL
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1
Basically I should have no problems with this card, I think it must be the drivers.
Like I said I can install them but as soon as I power down or rebbot I loose them

Thanks for any help!

The 256 MB version will allow you to load heavier 3D scenes in its memory with great performance, but the 128 MB version will have more bandwidth and it will generally be faster, although when the time come that a 128 MB video card will run out of memory, then the card will start to swap memory between its memory and AGP memory, thus it will be much slower that having a 256 MB version a bit slower.
Confused?
I´d go for the 256 MB version. although it has 2.8 Ns memory and you could reach just 714 MHz memory clock speed, but the other card will have less memory.
It´s just an opinion, but I would choose 256 MB version if I were you, and if I had the money

I didn\'t think that I needed an MSI motherboard to install Media Center - just the MSI video card? What I do wonder as well is that, since all of the first FX5900 Ultra cards are actually manufactured by Nvidia for companies such as MSI, is this why the software doesn\'t recognise the card as an \"MSI\" one? If so, I guess I\'m sunk...
Thanks,
Karen
I wouldn't know on that as I have a MSI board and vid card.I do have a media center from nVidia.If you update the drivers from nVidia, you should get theirs.Unless I am thinking of a different media center.
EDIT I was thinking of a different media center,my apologies.MSI's looks neat, I want one as well.

Trying to clock MSI FX5900 TD128

First of all: HI! (This is my first post here ) )
I recently got muself a MSI FX5900 TD128. I installed the msi drivers and I saw it is possible to adjust the clock there. It is one (2D) that says 300mhz and one (3D) that says 400mhz. I've tried to adjust the 3D-clock to 450mhz (ultra settings) but when I reboot the pc it is back at 400mhz.
I don't know if I am doing this right and what the difference on 2d and 3d-clock is. Does anybody know?

Hi Metaman,
You are having the same problem that I had with my FX5200 that the settings were not being saved. I do not know why this is.
I downloaded the Geforce tweak utility from http://download.guru3d.com/gtu/ this allows you to change clock settings.
P.S the 300Mhz is memory speed
the 400Mhz is the GPU speed
kind regards

MSI FX5900 128mb or 256mb

Hi all
I have decided to buy a MSI FX5900 has anyone got the specs for the

I have found some info on the forum.

VIVO, 400MHz core, 700MHz RAM
The MSI FX5900-TD 128mb

VIVO, 400MHz core, 850MHz RAM
My question is how much difference will 128mb of memory compared to 256mb be using the FX5900. for games?
Thanks

Thanks. I've done my homework on just about everything. I know 2gb of ram will be in it. I'll be getting the 160GB drive because of the speed limitations of the larger disk.
Mostly, I'm having trouble finding any real numbers showing differences between 128 and 256 vid memory with motion. It's good to know it wont make much of a difference with FCE by itself.
Does anyone have a link to any benchmarks pitting the two 15" models? Specifically, with motion.
Also, kind of on a similar note, but not related to final cut, does having the 256mb version place a significant impact on battery life?
Thanks.

Complete Hardware Installation Overview
- written by: Mr Steveo
Before I begin: Many experienced users have their own methods and tricks of the trade. This Guide is not intended to say other methods are not as good. Some experienced users may have better methods or find some steps unnecessary. This guide is simply based on a method that has worked many times for me.
If at any point you get errors or encounter a problem. Stop what you¡¦re dong, call your vendor or come into the forum and ask for help.
This guide also assumes you have done some preliminary research. Please be sure you have verified your hardware is compatible with the operating system you intend to install. Also be sure that ONE of the following exists:
A. Your Power Supply is approved for your CPU by AMD. Your vendor certifies your RAM will work with the motherboard. If uncertain, visit http://www.amd.com and contact your vendor
B. Your vendor certifies your Power Supply and RAM will work with your CPU and motherboard
C. An experienced forum user can tell you from personal experience that he has a stable system using the exact brand and model number of your power supply and RAM

==============================================
INSTALLING THE VIDEO CARD, FLOPPY AND POWERING UP
==============================================
31. Now its time to install your AGP or PCI video card. If you’re using an AGP card be sure the grey retention pin that sits at the end of the AGP slot is in the bent down position where it almost touches the motherboard. When moving this retention clip, be careful not to bump that capacitor right near the clip. Ya don’t want to damage it
32. Firmly insert the AGP card into the slot until it’s fully inserted and the retention clip has popped up. If using a PCI video card be sure to install it in the “top” PCI slot (PCI slot1) Be sure the card is standing straight up in the case and then screw the card firmly into the case
33. Stand the case up vertically and using a plastic twist tie or rubber bands be sure the remaining PSU power connectors are not going to fall into the case and dangle against the motherboard
34. Attach your monitor, mouse (PS/2 preferably), and keyboard. Then plug in the power to your monitor and the power cord to the computer.
35. Cross your fingers and press the power button to start it up
36. As soon as the computer powers up, immediately start pressing the delete key to enter the BIOS set up
37. Now that you’re in the BIOS set up, go to hardware monitor and watch the CPU temp. While sitting at the BIOS screen the temp should never exceed the mid 40 degrees worst case with an Athlon XP. Your temps probably will be lower.
38. Now as frustrating as this step is just let the computer sit there for 20 minutes and do nothing. Many users feel this step is unnecessary but it’s a personal preference of mine. The idea is to let the CPU get sufficiently warm and make a firm bond and seal with the thermal compound or grease. Plus since it's the first time these components have been exposed to an electrical current, 20 minutes of settling in isn’t a bad idea before shutting down or rebooting. Go grab a cup of coffee, look inside the case and be sure your CPU fan is spinning etc Whatever floats your boat.
39. If at any point in that 20 minutes your CPU temps exceed say 50 degrees for an Athlon XP or 60 degrees for a regular Athlon, shut down immediately and inspect your HSF and thermal compound installation. If unsure take the board in to your vendor for testing
40. If after 20 minutes everything is ok, you now have a few choices to make. Now is an excellent time to flash your BIOS before you get all your components installed. Also if you plan on using a CPU fan that does not attach to the motherboard this is the best time to flash to the latest BIOS. If you’re not familiar with how to flash your BIOS – don’t. Either wait until you get help from people in the forum, or take the board to your vendor and they should be happy to flash it for you. I can tell you firmly that the BIOS v3.2, while not perfect, is quite stable and adequate for most set ups
41. Now regardless of how you proceed now is a good time to make some settings in the BIOS. Go to the main page and load the letup defaults. Then go in and set your date and time. Also be sure that BIOS Flash protection is set to “Disabled” Also be sure “Clear NVRAM is set to Yes” Finally if you have an Athlon XP or any other processor that supports a 266 FSB, then you also want to go into Hardware monitor and set CPU/FSB to 133 BE SURE THIS IS SET PROPERLY PRIOR TO ANY BIOS FLASH
42. Now choose to Exit saving changes
43. The computer will reboot and stop at a prompt telling you to insert a floppy disk
44. You can now power down wait 60 seconds and pop in the BIOS flash disk. Or if you’re not flashing, proceed to the next step
=================
ATTATCHING DRIVES
=================
Assuming everything has gone smoothly so far, you¡¦re ready to attach your hardware
If you¡¦re planning on setting up RAID this will be covered in a later setup guide in a few days. If you need to set it up now, look for me or any experienced user in the forum and ask for help in setting up your jumpers drives, cables and the RAID BIOS If you're not setting up RAID, proceed with this guide
45. Using either a regular IDE cable or one of the ATA/100 IDE cables that came with your motherboard, locate the end of the cable with the black connector. Plug this into your DVD or CDROM drive. On the back of your CDROM or DVD drive be sure the jumper is in the Master position.
46. If you also have a CDRW drive or another CDROM drive attach this to the middle grey connector on the IDE cable. Be sure this drive has its jumper set as Slave. NOTE: if in your configuration you are planning on having a ZIP Drive. You will want to attach the zip drive to this connector, not the CDRW drive. Because ZIP drives are slowly being phased out and because ZIP drives are known to have problems with some operating systems and with some VIA chipsets, I try to avoid using these types of drives. CDRW drives work just fine. However if you must have a ZIP drive place it on this grey connector and jumper the ZIP drive as slave
47. ONLY AFTER the ribbons are attached to the drives should you attach the cable to the motherboard. Take the remaining blue connector on the IDE cable and attach it to the White (Secondary IDE) connector on the motherboard. Be sure to use the method you used with your fingers and thumbs when installing the floppy cable to the motherboard to avoid bending the board
48. Find the other ATA/100 cable that came with your motherboard and locate the black connector on that cable. Attach the black connector to your main hard drive. Set the jumper on the hard drive as Master if you¡¦re going to install a second slave hard drive. Jumper it as Master or Cable Select if it¡¦s a stand alone drive. The only exception is if you have a Western Digital Hard Drive. If you have a WD and its going to be a stand alone drive, the proper jumper setting is Single Refer to the drives owners manual for how to jumper the drive as Single for a Western Digital
49. If you have a slave hard drive, jumper it as slave and attach the middle grey IDE connector. If because of a Zip drive you also have a CDRW drive still to install you can put it as the slave drive on this cable. But be warned that having the hard drive share the cable with an optical or ZIP drive will drastically reduce your hard drives performance (another reason to avoid ZIP drives in a standard configuration)
50. Attach the remaining blue connector to the motherboards blue, non RAID IDE connector (Primary IDE) Remember to use your fingers and thumbs to avoid bending the board
51. ONLY AFTER all the IDE cables are attached should you attach the power cables from the power supply. Now that all the drives are attached go ahead and pop in those power cables.
=======================
INSTALLING THE PCI CARDS
=======================
52. For your very first full boot up and first attempt installing the operating system, it¡¦s recommended to start with the least PCI cards necessary to avoid any errors. There is an exception to this. Because of how the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems heavily depend on networking components, you might want to install any Ethernet (NIC) card you have now.
53. Network cards work best and will install fine in either PCI Slot 2, Slot3 or Slot 4 on this particular motherboard. For many reasons here¡¦s what I suggest for now. If you have a Sound Blaster series sound card then install the NIC in Slot 2 or Slot 4. If you have no sound card or a non Sound Blaster card, install your NIC in Slot 3
54. For now do not install any other PCI cards.
55. Now its time to close up the case, power up and install your operating system
NOTE: Assuming you have no problems installing your operating system you can then add in the remaining PCI cards one at a time. Please refer to my Guide on PCI SLOTs which is after my GUIDE on BIOS settings
Also note that many people have been asking for help on the proper way to install their operating systems, critical updates, VIA drivers, and video and sound card drivers. For now if you need help ask in the forum. I will try to have a guide for Win 9X/ME and another for Windows 2000 and a third for Windows XP available in the forum soon.
CONRATULATIONS!!!!!

MSI 645 Ultra Dead Mobo

First a little background...
Bought a new MSI 645 Ultra (version 1.0) about 4 months ago. Installation of the new mobo, new memory, new video card, and new CPU went just fine.
It's been running very stable for the past 4 months, but two days ago I rebooted (warm) and the machine wouldn't even POST! Hard drive and CD-ROM power up but I don't even get to the BIOS...
I didn't change anything. CPU is not overclocked. I haven't added any hardware since the day I put it together. I haven't tried flashing the BIOS. I just rebooted and I get an Early Chipset Initialization error on the D-Bracket.
Things checked so far...
I have verified that the memory is still good.
I have verified that the hard drive is still good.
I have verified that the video card is still good.
Things NOT checked so far...
I have NOT verified that the CPU is still good.
Things attempted to fix the problem so far:
I have pulled the memory and booted without it... no change
I have cleared the CMOS, no change: procedure follows:
Unplugged power cable,
Pressed power switch several times,
Set jumper to "clear" position
Removed CMOS battery for 2 hours,
Re-installed CMOS battery,
Put jumper back to original position,
Plugged power cable back into computer.
I have reseated the memory... no change
I have reseated the video card... no change
I have unplugged hard drive, cdrom, and floopy from the mobo... no change
I have taken out the modem... no change
System configuration:
Intel P4 1.7GHz CPU
MSI 645 Ultra version 1.0 mobo
512MB DDR333 (1 stick)
nVidia GeForce3 128MB video card
3.5 floopy drive
Western Digital 40GB IDE hard drive
32 speed CDROM
56K modem
Is there something that you guys can recommend to fix this problem!?
Did my bios somehow fry itself when I rebooted? Remember: I'm not getting to the bios at all... no POST... no nothing...! ?(
Thanks

Hey dude, try this first. I had 2 648 Max's today. Neither of them would boot. Cpu's good, memory good. PSUs good. Dude, I was pulling my hair out, argh......
Then what I did was removed all the pin connectors for the Power Switch, Hard Drive LED, Reset SW. I left the speaker connected. I cleared the CMOS. Took a small screw driver and jumped the two power pins. And walla! The thing started up and was able to get into the BIOS.
Man, I ate a scooby snack and did a little more investigating and low and behold it was a bad Reset Switch that prevented it from booting.
This is almost the exact sme sysmptoms your talking about. A similar one I had about two months ago was a bad power switch. It was just arely making contact not allowing the board to start, but all the fans etc... would work.
So add this to your trouble shooting and maybe this will work.

MSi 745 ultra usb boot

Hi!
I have a MSI 745 ultra mb with the latest bios installed. I set usb legacy and the bios detected my usb drive in the boot sequency, but when i rebooted it did not started installing the operating system, instead i got same message, its not proper media(it worked perfectly in an other machine). Could you help me what the problem could be?
Thankyou.

I tried to install windows 7 which i was able to install via dvd. The bios recognizes the pendrive, i can switch it to the first boot device. The problem is, that after i reboot it boots from it, but instead of starting the installation wizard it says can't read data.
In windows it also recognizes the usb and every piece of data in it, that's why i'm a bit confused.

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU video lock-ups

Hello,
I have a 3 month old MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. I am running Windows XP Professional and I am having a periodic lock-up where the screen will show blinking colored blocks and the system will freeze. Sometimes just hitting reset will cure the problem. Other times, hitting reset will create two vertical stripes of colored blocks scrolling down the screen. I have used the board on two entirely separate systems (One with AMD Athlon 2000+, Gainward GeForce 4200, 512 MB Samsung 2700 DDR, Western Digital Expert HD (tried both IDE #1 and RAID controller) (Other System, Athlon 1800+, a different Gainward Geforce 4200, 256 Crucial 2700 DDR, an older Maxtor hard drive). In either system, every once in a while, the system will freeze as described above (it has happened in Netscape 7.0, Microsoft Word 2000, America's Army game).
I have played around with the bios settings, reformatted hard drives, tried various revisions of the nvidia display drivers, swapped out video cards, etc. Any ideas? Do I have a bad board? Do I need to flash the BIOS? If the board is bad, what do I need to do to return it?
Thanks,
Matt Gumaer

The second system has a 330 watt enermax power supply. With the new system I put together, I put virtually the same board (MSI KT3 Ultra 2 with bluetooth and RAID), everything is the same as my first system (except the KT3 Ultra-ARU) and the stability is fine. So, I'm reasonably confident its not the power supply.

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!
