I just built a new PC for my sister based on the MSI K8NGM2-L mobo. We chose it for the small size and never really planned to use the onboard VGA. After the system was built I borrowed a HIS Radeon 1650XT iSilence2 VGA http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=269&view=yes and tested the system with this. It took 2 times 8 hours (2 nights) simultaneous Prime95 and 3DMark 2001 looped testing without a problem, but since I did not want to loose the PCI slots to the HIS card's passive cooler, I decided to buy an MSI RX1650XT-T2D256EZ instead which is passive too, but has the fins on the top side.
Upon starting up the system for the first time with the MSI VGA, there was no video signal on either of the card's 2 DVI outputs. The card also did not function in another PC so I took it back to the store and they exchanged it.
The second RX1650XT did the same thing, except it appeared to be "working". I heard the correct BIOS POST-beep, the hdd led flashed and the computer appeared to boot into XP. Upon allowing the onboard VGA to function simultaneously and connecting the monitor to the Geforce 6100's output, it became clear, that the PC does get to Windows, which even recognizes the 1650XT as new hardware - still no video signal on that card.
Things I've tested:
- changed the case's PSU (350W generic Bestec with 2x 18A 12V) to an Enermax Liberty 400W
- disconnected internal USB card reader I bought and installed at the same time as the first MSi 1650XT
- disabled all USB in the bios
- reseted BIOS
- loaded Failsafe BIOS settings
- updated the MB BIOS
- tried 3 different monitors - 1 CRT and 2 LCDs, all analogue, with the DVI-I to VGA adapter(s) supplied
I also took the whole system to the store I bought the MSI VGA at. They tested it for about 40 minutes with the following results (with the original Bestec PSU, mind you!!!)
- The MSI K8NGM2-L motherboard worked with every PCIe VGA they through at it, except for my MSI RX1650XT-T2D256EZ.
- The MSI RX1650XT-T2D256EZ VGA worked in every MB they used except for my MSI K8NGM2-L.
Any ideas?

Dual Core Center- MSI 8800 GTS and MSI P6N SLI Platinum.

I have both the MSI 650i MOBO and the MSI 8800 GTS vidcard. When using an Asus P5B Dlx MOBO and this vidcard, Dual Core Center was installed and displayed the information for the videocard and allowed a mild OC. Now with both MSI products in the case, Dual Core Center only displays the information on the MOBO-- no 8800 GTS information. The tab at the top for the VGA does not bring up anything. ??? I have tried installing the version on each one of the disks that came with each piece of equipment again and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it doesn't work. I downloaded the most recent version of the utility from the MSI site and still get only the MOBO information. How do I get the display for the video card?
Or since the MSI utilities typically are listed on the forums as not being the greatest, what else can I/should I be using instead?
{I put this in the MOBO forum too as it hits both areas...}

Found that AtiTool (latest beta) works on the 8800's. The "find max core" and "find max memory" don't work perfectly though, as they start the overclock and then are supposed to check for errors; they are supposed to stop the adjustment upward when they encounter erros and come back down...... AtiTool just kept cranking it up, although you could visibly see the little 3D screen artifact all over the place. But It gave a good starting place to do the OC manually and then go run the scan for artifacts and errors manually. AtiTool listed the stock core at 513 and stock memory at 792. I was able to take the core up to ~644 and the memory up to ~877. I backed these off some (as you can't run both at max!) and it looked stable at 630 core, 860 memory. Ran through both 3DMark 05 and 3DMark06 without a hitch. Need to check it out with some extended gameplay now.

MSI KT6V-LSR and MSI 6600gt

Hi Guys Im new to the forums here being pretty much a noob I could really use your help. Ive serched through the forums here but never really could get any answers. I just got my MSI nx6600gt after i installed the card the comp freezes in bios just before it should list the drives. Ive put in my old fx 5200 and it boots up just fine? Ive turned off and fast writing and such. The leds in the back show red in number 1. My users guide says "boot attempt - thi will set low stack and boot via INT 19h"????? Im at a total loss.

Is there a big difference between MSI K8N SLI and MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboa

i am a bit tight on budget, so I was wondering if I should get the MSI K8N SLI motherboard instead of the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard (my previous choice),.......what do u guys say ?

Hi,
Note that he is not talking about the Neo4 versions, looks like in the US MSI has different products:
Here is the K8N SLI:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=681
And here is the K8N NEO4 SLI:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4/SLI&class=mb
One has Sound blaster, the other does not.
Besides, K8N SLI Platinum has only one LAN.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=641
While the Neo4 Platinum has two.
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
A bit confusing right !? Remember that this forum is accessed by people all over the world.
The thing is that the Neo4 and the related non-Neo are using the same BIOS AFAIK.

I am getting a error for some reason when i open MSI control center that tells me to Please Replace the ME version, i'm not sure why i'm getting this error out of the blue, is very strange, only thing i did was uninstall intel HD 4000 driver and reinstall it as i was getting a crash, i was using it as a extra monitor. but i don't think that had anything to do with this. I have not used control, center in a while thought i would open it up and now i get this Please replace ME version, i have uninstalled intel management engine and re d-loaded it and reinstalled it from my msi driver page, nothing works please help.

in your signature you have listed BIOS 2.5

basically yes, unless your ME version is somehow corrupted,
or when bios was flashed your ME wasn't updated
if issue persist reflash the bios to the one that i linked you,
its still newest than 2.12 and will include proper ME update,
so you will know that issue isn't there after reflashing

other things that you can try before flashing:
install reinstall ME drivers from MSI web for your board:
http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me81_win78_xp.zip
you said that you already done this..
you can also try with those ME drivers instead: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip
and are you using control center 2.5.060

MSI G33M-FI and MSI 9600GT OC cold boot problem

So I just recently put together my new computer (MSI G33M-FI motherboard) and whenever I shut it down and turn it on the computer will turn off in about 3 seconds (you won't see the bios screen) and then it just turns on and off endlessly/ in a loop.
Fix is to clear CMOS and it will boot ok but whenever I turn it off (no restart..) the problem is back!, only clear CMOS helps...
Good thing I found the problem, the videocard (MSI 9600GT OC). When I switch it with my poorly ATI 1950pro I have no problem with a cold boot.
Using the latest bios version with the motherboard (on the MSI site). Havent flashed my 9600GT 512mb (red double slot cooler version) with a another bios yet though.. (if there is 1, just checked- no new bios).
Anyone got an idea how to fix this? I don't think so but maybe they should make a new bios to fix this?
Other parts from computer: Patriot extreme 4 gig (2x2) ddr2 performance (4-4-4-12, 2.2 volt) and an intel e8400 cpu.
Anyone else having this problem? Thanks...

I had cold-boot problems with my G33M-FI. Tried E2140 and Q6600 CPUs at stock voltages/clocks, tried two different sets of DDR2-800 RAM (4x1GB and 4x2GB), tried different CMOS batteries and tried two different power supplies (Thermaltake and Coolermaster 500W supplies). Regardless of combination of components, system would frequently fail to POST. Problems were experienced with integrated video (no add-on cards installed) and with/without any drives connected. Problems were also experienced with a single good stick of RAM in slot 1 vs. all four slots populated. Once booted, the system performed flawlessly passing memtest86+ and other reliability/stability tests. Once the system failed to boot, it would almost never boot again until I cleared the BIOS (sometimes requiring me to remove and reinsert the CMOS battery, since the jumper alone didn't cure the problem). Trial and error of different hardware combinations in an attempt to isolate the problem with a CMOS clear/recovery between attempts proved to be a very painful and tedious process. After speaking with MSI tech support, solution was to RMA the board.

MSI K9VGM-V and MSI N9800GT-T2D512-OC will it fit?

Hello everyone i am back again this time with another K9VBM-V question, i have finally decided to move off the on board video and i am looking at the MSI N9800GT-T2D512-OC
Reviews all agree its a good card for the midrange level user (no plans to overclock to squeeze out a few extra frames per second) but the one complaint i have noticed is the claim that its a bit long and won't fit in all cases or all mobos, while the case i have is not a SFF it is mini ATX tower and the K9BGM-V is a Mini ATX mobo.
So anyone with experience do you know if it will fit before i decide to purchase.I haven't found anything that indicates how long the card actually is just customer reviews that warn that its a bit of a long card.

Is your case less than 17-18 inches/40-60mm front to back? If so the card probably will be too long to fit. Drive bay will interfere with fitting of the card. My advice would be to get a larger mid tower ATX case someting like the Cooler Master Elite 330, they don't cost much, and then put everyting in it. Of course that's assuming you have room for the larger case.
The case my 9600 GT is in is just barely deep enough for a card that long. In fact I had to move the HDD to get it to fit. I even had to do the same thing in my CM Elite 330 to fit the ATI 1950 in it.

MSI Command Center and MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC overclocking

Hi all
First off, I'd like to say that the MSI Command Centre is a great piece of Software for overclocking, especially for guys like me who don't like messing around with the BIOS too much.
Upping the Vcore to 1.39 V gets me to 4.5 GHz on my i7 5960X.
I would like to up it to 4.6 GHz and beyond without increasing Vcore beyond 1.39 V, which is already too much I think, but it keeps crashing.
I looked around the Web, but couldn't find any good Tutorials (for this particular Motherboard) about how to overclock without increasing Vcore too much.
No idea how much to tweak the other Voltage Settings and the like.
Could someone please help ?
Thank You

There is another board especially for OC.
Check it out! >>Overclocking, Undervolting<<

MSI graphics cards and MSI motherboards

Do MSI "tend" to match their graphics cards with their motherboards? .... would I benefit from matching an MSI graphics card with my K8T Neo2 motherboard?
JLP

Noooooooo, not at all.
I have some K8N neo2 platinum combined with an msi nx6800gt and although
i'm very happy with game performance, there are times i would expect more.
My GT has lots of problems when not running at stock.
Even at 365/1050 there is some stuttering (rarely, and for about 2 seconds) but
still, there is.
It could as well have been any other brand.
And i bet it could have been a better o/cer.
The only thing i HIGHLY recommend msi gards, is their EXCELLENT bundle.
Mine came with 15 cds(!!!) : DOOM 3, XIII, URU, Prince of Persia and many more.

Msi bluetooth headset and msi bluetooth dongle

have both, dongle installed and working, but it cant ever find the headset... any idea?

From my understanding the dock for the bluetooth headset was made for the original iPhone. The dimensions of the iPhone 3g are different, so the dock would not be the right size for the phone. You can still charge the bluetooth headset either in the dock that came with it, or with the cable that also was included in the box. Hope this helps

Incompatibility between Plextor cdrw and MSI motherboards

1.My plextor 2410a works only at PIO,dispite the fact that Windows XP recognizes it as ULTRADMA 2.With my previes configuration(QDI Kinetiz 7b was working just fine).After several e-mails with the USA support of MSI, they answered me that MSI motherboards are not tested with the Plextor cdrw models X( X( This means that all MSI motherboards might have problem working with Plextor cdrw models.So if you have a plextor,DON'T BUY MSI MOTHERBOARD,WON'T WORK!!!!

2.With my previous mobo coulb connect my nokia 3510 through my com1 with a mbus cable.Now with this mobpo, I can't do.Resolution from MSI...NONE !!!!! X( X( ;( ;(
So think twice beforing buying.For sure I will never ever buy again a MSI motherboard!!!Better Asus or anything else

SPDIF Bracket for MSI K8NGM2-FID

Hello,
I have been searching on the Internet for a place where I can purchase the SPDIF 3-pin bracket for the MSI K8NGM2-FID. I have probably checked every search result on google, but NOWHERE can I find this item! Does ANYBODY have an idea where I can buy the optional 3-pin SPDIF bracket for this board?
Thanks in advance,
RA

those are available from several places. i see the quetion often on various forum s. It would not be msi unique . it is just a matter of knowing the output and number of pins available on your board.

Are the nVidia 6150 based motherboards like the MSI K8NGM2-FID an Ok choice?

I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, but there are many reasons why I would be interested in swapping for the nVidia 6150 motherboard. It is smaller, has no chipset fan and has built-in video with DVI output. I don't play many games, but the video on the MSI K8NGM2-FID is probably at least as good or much better than my AGP Geforce2 GTS (hehehe). Also, I have a feeling that the audio on the MSI K8NGM2-FID may be better and the motherboard overall may run a little cooler. I don't plan to install any PCI cards except perhaps a capture card.
Does anybody have any experience with the MSI K8NGM2-FID for example? Or with the gigabyte or Asus 6150 based board? Is it at least comparable to the K8N Neo2 Platinum in terms of performance?
thanx,

I have no hands on experience with the board, but i do think that if you are looking to upgrade from an AGP platform to a PCI-e platform without the intentions of playing games seriously, any board from MSI with onboard video would be a good choice...

Can't get SATA drive to boot - MSI K8NGM2-FID

Mobo is MSI K8NGM2-FID. I've had two IDE drives w/ XP and added a SATA II (WD7500AAKS) recently as a storage drive. Now I'd like to make the SATA the boot drive, but after cloning it from the IDE boot drive it hasn't yet got far in the start up process (cloning with WD Tools, then again with Acronis). I can't tell whether the problem is BIOS or Windows (XP) or ? MSI Update says the BIOS is current and I set the SATA drive as the first HD in the boot order in Advanced BIOS features.
On start up, the computer runs through the BIOS sequence onscreen and then stops somewhere between the end of that and the Windows blue screen coming up, leaving a blank screen except a flashing cursor on the left. When I disconnect the two IDE drives as a test, the same thing happens. Then, with them still disconnected, I try booting from the XP CD and it gets to the point of checking the computer's current configuration and then the screen goes blank indefinitely. I would think it would either show the XP setup menu or give a message that's something is missing.
Does this sound like BIOS or Windows or ? Is there anything else in BIOS that needs changing? I've been told that IDE drive jumpers have no effect on SATA drives. Is that true? Thanks.

Good timing. I'd like to add partitions to my new (cloned) SATA boot drive (C:), but wanted to back up first. A problem and a question come up. First, when I remount the old IDE drive as a second drive D:, even wiped clean, problems ensue. Comodo wants to look for my firewall installation on D: and Acronis won't allow me to clone back, i.e., clone from the new drive to the old.
It's not really clear what you had before or what you have now in terms of HDDs: you had two IDE drives, C: & D: and one SATA as E:??; now you have a SATA boot drive. Do you still have the 40GB IDE drive? Did the clone over to the SATA automatically extend the old 160GB C: partition to 750GB? Sorry but I've no idea how Acronis works. "Wiped clean" is kinda vague - it could mean using the HDD mfr's utility to write zeroes to the entire surface... or just creating a new Extended partition containing a formatted(?) logical volume. If that old IDE drive has a Primary partition it could still be marked as bootable, which you can check with BootitNG... and it's not a good idea to have a Primary partition on a 2nd drive.
Quote
Second, I assume that files are spread over the boot drive, not just grouped in the first 150GB, even if defragged. In reducing the partition size - now 698GB - how does BootitNG know to make sure everything ends up in the first partition? I read about this somewhere but don't see any mention in BootITNG.
Again, I don't know how you got to the situation of a 698GB partition on the SATA boot drive - it would have been better to clone to the same sized C: partition as the old 160GB drive and then use a tool like BootitNG to extend it to whatever size you want... then add new partitions.
No partition management software can guarantee a partition shrink will work - they can only shrink out unallocated space. In that respect Windows XP Defrag is unreliable at both leaving unallocated space at the end of a partition AND at accurately reporting what is used and what is not. In such a situation, without a better, more accurate, defragger I generally run defrag several times, with reboots in between until it "looks" like it's safe to shrink and do the shrink in steps, with checks and defrags again, in between. Yes, it's a PITA.

K7T Pro2 and MSI TI4200: Please HELP!!!

Hi
I have an MSI K7T Pro2 motherboard. I got few weeks ago a new video card: MSI TI4200.
After the installation in the case and power on of the PC I can't see any image. The monitor remain black without signal. I can hear one long beep and 2 shot ones.
I tried the following workaround:
- Reset CMOS
- Set AGP to 2x
- Disconnet all peripherals (audio card, nic card, cpu fan, usb peripherals)
Looking on the forum someone suggested could be the PSU so I have replaced it with a new one with the following specifications:
DC Output: 350W
+3.3V: 20A
+5V: 35A
+12V: 16A
3.3V & 5V: 175W
But still does not work! ;(
Bios on the motherboard is updated at the latest release.
Please help me. Do you have any idea?
The funny stuff is that I decided to get an MSI video card to avoid incompatibility with my MSI motherboard so please MSI don't betray me!
Thanks
Mario

Diabllo
I forgot to write that I tested the video card on my brother's pc and it works fine. The nice stuff is that my brother has a 350w PSU with 165w combined 3.3v+12v.
The difference is that he has a newer motherboard not MSI.
Thanks
