MSI K9AGM2-FIH Freeze.

I have a friend without internet connection with the following setup:
MSI K9AGM2-FIH
XFX Geforce 8500GT 450M 256MB DDR2
Athlon 64 X2 4400+
400w PSU
Corsair Value PC5300 DDR2 2048 MB
Vista 32 Home SP1.
The Bios has not been updated since purchase in may 07.
The problem occures whenever he starts a movie in Mediaplayer or VLC, or runs Photoshop or any other graphic application.
The entire machine just freezes, he cannot even do a CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
Can this be fixed sith BIOS update, or cpuld it be something else?
Sincerely
D

The link you provided doesn't specify any details about the power supply. Bad sign. May I be the third in line to advice you to gat another one?
BIOS: sudden problems with a system are never caused by the bios. Only if you swap hardware, it can be a bios problem. Also, changing settings can cause trouble. But when you used a system for years and it starts acting up, it can't be the bios, not in this case.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH HD audio

Hi.
I built MSI K9AGM2-FIH - motherboard - micro ATX - AMD 690G with an AMD 4000x2CPU 2GB ram and 256mb 7600 pci-e card
The problem that I am having it is the Realteck High Definition.
When I try to install it, it finds the software and tries to run it but the it says
"error occurred during installation of the device. The device's co-installer is invalid"
Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it.?
I have the latest drivers from msi
Thanks

I have now tried the reference driverQuote from: Hans on 28-August-07, 03:10:13
Did you try Realtek's reference driver? You can find it on their site: Realtek Guide by Backwoodz
but no joy, I did put the motherboard software in first.
Going to uninstall everything and try again.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH power connections

I know this is a noob question but this my first time build for a board with 24 pin, I am used to building system with only 20 pins. Here it goes I have this msi board k9agm2-fih do still need to connect all the 24 pins power to the board? or it will do fine with only 20 pins?

yep need to catch up with newer technologies... oh i forgot to mention that i have new power supply with 24pins, so do i still need to connect the 24pins to the board? what is the "JPW1" power connector to the board? I found out that this board has a JPW1 connector that says "This 12V power connector JPW1 is used to provide power to the CPU." do i still need to connect power to the JPW1 connector? or connect the 20pins to the board then detach the 4 pins and connect to the JPW1 connector?

MSI K9AGM2-FIH & SPDIF sound problems

I have installed the SPDIF connector onto my motherboard. Booting into Vista I then install the drivers (I have tried both from MSI and Realtek direct, v1.73) both give me the option of setting Digital Output as my default audio - I do that. However, I get no sound from my amp even though I have a very good coaxial cable connecting the SPDIF card on the PC to my amp. I know the amp is working on the connection as I have used it for my DVD player.
What else do I have to do to get the SPDIF outputting sound? Thanks

I don't use Vista nor Realtek onboard sound. IMHO they both suck
Anyways, mine wasn't plugged in through SPDIF, I had it connected through VIDEO1 coaxial converted to minijack, plugged into my audigy 2 through the 3 ports in the back. (Front 2 Speakers Channel into 1 MiniJack, 2 Rear Speakers into 1, and Center/Sub into another.) I had mad issues with 5.1 though, it worked about half the time, but even when it worked it was not that great.
In looking at the volume settings in WinXP, if you double click volume icon on the taskbar, you get the play control box with all the volume settings, go to Options and click Properties make sure S/PDIF-out is checked, and click Ok, then make sure it's not muted and not all the way down on the volume bar. Also check to make sure you have it plugged into the Out and not the In (I've done it before! )
Check your amp for all settings related to coaxial/digital/analog, etc make sure the output through that cable is being recieved from another device, then switch it to your computer.
If nothing works, try turning off digital output only, check to see if there are any settings in the volume/sound configuration that pertain to S/PDIF output. I don't know the Realtek drivers too well, so I'm not sure where to begin but the sound properties in the control panel seem like the best place to start.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH: PCIe x1 card in PCIe x16 slot

Am trying to get a PCIe x1 2-Port Sil3132 SATA Controller to work in a x16 slot
system boots without any problems, the card is found, and it shows up when booting
but here is the problem, windows wont boot, when i remove the card from the x16 slot it boots fine
windows is run via the onboard sb600
x1, x4, x8 cards should work in a x16 slot just fine, after with i have heard

Question, why do you want to use that card?
Also, it might be possible that drive-letters change in Windows, so it can't boot anymore.
Try booting with the Windows Boot-cdrom, load the Sil driver and see what letters you get.
You might need to change the boot.ini

K9AGM2-FIH 1080p via HDMI

Hello,
I have baught the K9AGM2-FIH (MS-7237 Version 1.0) to connect it via HDMI to my Samsug LE37M86BD Both are supporting 1080p.
When I choose at catalyst controlcenter 1920x1080p (progressive mode) the resulition is only 1920x1080i (interlaced mode). I recognize it at the onscreen display of the TV and the flickering when I'm scrolling and on menue soft appearance.
How do I get the progressive mode enabled!
Thanks
Oliver
PS: 760p is working at progressive mode.
PS2: I have tried the CCC from the deliverd CD, from the MSI Hompage and the most recent (31.5.07) from ATI. Every time the same result interlaced mode only.

Wirruna,
It will be jumpy because the resolution is too high. Your using integrated VGA don't forget.
this is cleary a driver issue
did the default windows driver work at 1920x1080?
what about posting a support request at http://ati.com/support
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBList.asp?folderID=10578
AMD 690G series clearly says "Supports a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 @ 32bpp"
meybe try PowerStrip, get that to 1920x1080 @ 50hz

K9AGM2-FIH Display Driver Problems

I'm trying to update the video drivers on my new K9AGM2-FIH motherboard. Everytime I try (with either the ones from ati or the ones from msi), the screen goes black right as it finishes. Then when it reboots, I have to go to previous best settings. My only display is a tv through s-video. I assume it's just setting the main display as something else. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Read Moan Guide
get a Driver Sweeper: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1672
then boot into safe mode, and remove currently VGA drivers.
Reboot PC and boot into normal mode, then re-install the newest VGA drivers.

K9AGM2-FIH: Wake-on-LAN ?

I love my K9AGM2-FIH but one thing that bugs me is I can't find a way to get WOL to work with the onboard NIC, my old motherboard (don't even remember model/brand right now) does this fine, which is great as I can SSH my linux box behind my router, and WOL the windows box up and RDP it. If I could WOL the new system that would be great. I am thinking of throwing an old 3com NIC into the PCI slot and see if it'll wake from PCI event, assuming the 3com will send one. I know it has a cable for WOL to connect to WOL connector equipped motherboards.. could also try a few other NICs..
But really I want a way to WOL it from the onboard :( shouldn't have to run extra NICs and such just to do this :(

Well I am inquiring with MSI and so far they indicate it should work as long as you have the PCI PME# wake up enabled in power management. Thing is I already tried enabling all the wake up events, so now we're playing the "What version is your board" and "What wake on lan software are you using" game trying to narrow down the problem. I hope they're right in that it's supposed to work, if we find a solution I'll update the thread here

K9AGM2-FIH - HDMI out video problem

Morning all,
Just finished building the new HTPC for the theatre. Have the K9AGM2-FIH board in an antec fusion case, and it was initally hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-AX4AsiS. Found that even though the amp was telling the PC (running Vista Home Premium) that it was capable of taking 1080p at 60 and the video card said it was outputing at that, there was a large black border shown when projected through the DLA-HD1 (which said it was receiving a 1080p signal from amp).
Connecting the PC directly to the projector rectified that problem but in the processing of swapping over I came across the REAL problem. Everytime the projector is powered off or swaps inputs the PC seems to switch off HDMI and wont try turning it on again. Plugged it back into the AMP and exactly the same thing (after having to reboot because I swapped the cables over and PC wasnt outputting via HDMI anymore). Everytime I swapped inputs on the AMP and came back to the 'HDMI in' assigned to the PC there was no signal. Same thing when turning the projector off whilst powering up the PC, if the PC cant talk to its HDMI output device during bootup it never seems to try talking to it again. Changing nothing and touching no cables but simply rebooting with the output device switched on will instantly give the boot screen and then off into Vista it goes...
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and even better would be a fix that they have come across
Thanks muchly,
Sam

I feel your pain with msi boards. Or in that they offer NO tech support. Its like msi is ran by a little 90 year old lady working from her basement, and she cant hobble down the stairs anymore to get to her basement. I have emailed tech suppost often, and other than the auto generated reply, no human ever got back to me.
As for hdmi, hdmi is tricky. Sometimes audio is not even supported thru the hdmi. Depends. But it should be digital if it is.
I dont have that MB , I have the msi K9AGM-FID for two months, but I am also already looking into moving to another mb with better support. The "abit AN M2 nview" has one model, AN M2HD nview that does have hdmi plus vga (dual outs). It looks to be a very nice board. Then they have AN M2 nview that does not have hdmi, but has DVI out and vga (again, dual outs). And both boards have optical digital out. Monoprice.com has a 75-foot digital optical cable for under $20. So for me, I plan on using the DVI to my plasma tv and getting the 75' optical cable to run audio to my home theater receiver. I already have a 50' dvi cable going from this MB to the tv, plus just L+R audio line. You might want to look into the abit AN M2HD nview. Just no reason msi has to be so poorly ran of a company. Its like they are not only poorly ran, its like they go out of their way to irritate customers.

K9AGM2-FIH Code 10 Problem

Hey all,
I was forced to upgrade my video card and sound card with my K9AGM2-FIH MB. The video card in the PCI-E works fine, but my Sound Blaster X-FI device is getting "This Device cannot start (code 10)" in Windows XP Pro and Vista x64. I tried both slots, but say result. I know the sound card works, because I swapped it out with a known good spare. Anyone having issues with the PCI bus or know any tricks would help.
Thanks,
Josh

Do a cmos clear. It appears that the sound card is not being properly recognized either by the bios or operating system.
You can also uninstall the sound card in device manager and then reboot the computer to let the bios and operating system find it and install the drivers.

MSI P6NGM-FIH overclocking?

Hi - I'm looking to buy an MSI P6NGM-FIH for my dad. He has no need for a graphics card. I already bought an Intel E2160 CPU and I would like to overclock it to 2.4 to 2.8 ghz on stock air.
This board seems limited for voltage to the RAM. Anyone have any experience overclocking with this board? My dad just can't swing a more expensive board (w/o on-board video) and then a video card too.
Any suggestions on RAM would be nice too. Or is this just the wrong board for his needs and my demand to overclock all CPUs at least a little.
Thanks for your help!
Mike

Hi and welcome to the forum.
For oc questions, I'll move your thread to overclockers section for more discussions.

MSI K9A2CF-F freezes with MSI NX8400GT and NX8500GT

Hi, all
I've a brand new mainboard K9A2CF-F with an AMD Phenom 9500 and a NX8400GR video card. Windows is running fine but when using 3D the machine freezes, sometimes it also freezes with 2D activities. Today I changed the card for a NX8500GT-TD512Eh but I've got the same problem. When I put a Ge-force 6200 in my computer the machine runs fine but this card is pretty slow.
Things I did, reinstalled windows, latest updates, latest nvidia driver, bios upgrade to v1.2, vga bios was allready the latest, changes psu with a heavier one.
Now i've got the vga card in the second pcie slot and strange enough the computer is running now for almost 30 minutes. Maybe is it something with running at 16x. But what could this be that the machine crashes at 16x?

Can it be the PSU? It's now running the whole evening in the PCIe 8x slot without any crash. Is it consuming more power when running at 16x speed bus?
First tested PSU is an Mtek 350Watt.
3V = 14A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
The other one is an SumVision 400W
3.3V = 26A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
They indeed have the same 12V current of 15A.
At the moment in the machine
1x MSI K9A2CF with Pehnom 9500 (bios in fail safe settings)
1x MSI NX8500GT
1x DDR PC6400 2GB
1x SATA2 harddrive
1x DVD player
1x casefan
at last i'm running dual screens but it also freezes when running a single monitor

K9AGM2-FIH: "PS/2 mouse not found" - BIOS setting?

Greeting,
Every time I boot my system, the BIOS on my K9AGM2-FID board complains about not finding a PS/2 mouse and asking me to hit F1 to continue. I'm using a USB mouse and keyboard.
I can't find any setting in the BIOS where I can deactivate the PS/2 ports. Do I need a new BIOS that has this setting, or is it already there and I have missed it? I've looked through every single screen...
thanks
/politby

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 14-June-07, 18:19:33
have a ask MSI about that:
http://support.msi.com.tw/
Will do. A BIOS update (to the latest 1.4 version) didn't help. Wondering if it could have to do with the fact that I have a media center keyboard with built in mouse...

XP SP1 on MSI 266 constantly freezing.....

I run XP SP1 on an MSI 266pro with a p3 1ghz and 1 gb of ram, WD 80, cdrw and antec 300w.
Can someone help me determine why it's constantly freezing after a certain amount of time the system is up?
I've updated window to the latest patch and drivers successfully and I've run the live update utility from the mb and updated bios, via chipset and audio drivers as well.
i've also tried an gforce 5200 and a ati 128 pro both with latest driver and it still crashing no matter what video card/drivers conbinations i use.
The XP install is fresh so no spyware or any other program for that matters are running concurently.
Checked bios, hardware manager and didn't find no confict or other errors.
I'm clearly at lost with regard to what could be cause those freezing.
I was previously using this system for over a year with a different video card (radeon 64mb) without problem so don't understand why it's acting up sudenly.

It doesnot need even a minute to get hot. And yes, check the caps.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH Freeze.
