MSI K9VGM-V Skt AM2 & No boot

Hello people
I purchased an MSI K9VGM-V Skt AM2 motherboard and a AMD Athlon 64 3200 Socket AM2.I installed all the appropriate parts by following the manuals and by wearing anti-static wristband to avoid Electrostatic discharge. When everything were in place, i powered on the pc and booted without any problems.For the First 5 minutes or so,i was in BIOS monitoring the CPU temperature, it was between 30-35 C. After that i formated my Hard drive and i installed Windows XP Prof. When i finished i switch off the pc. The next morning problems started, when i power on the pc doesnt boot, the screen is black, the hard drive doesnt sound to spin at all, and there is no BIOS Beep noise at all. The only thing that indicates that the PC is on is the CPU fan that works.
I tested PSU, Ram sticks, Graphics card,hard drives,in my other Desktop and all are in working conditions.
My PC specifications are
PSU: ATX-400TD 400W AC input 230Vac 50Hz 5A
DC output +3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5Vsb
30A 28A 17A 1A 1A 2A
512MB RAM DDR2-533MHz 4200
Radeon X600 PCI-Express 256MB
AMD CPU AM2 Athlon 64 3200
HD Western Digital 80GB
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciate
thanx for your time

It is very hard to kill a mobo, more often you buy them dead. Tedious, I know, but perhaps you should redo the installation? Making sure there are no spacers left unused between the motherboard and case, that all power cables are fastened, and such.
The processor fan spinning is really a good sign, because that means power flows through the motherboard. Long line of thinking here, but it suggests the processor is alive too.
The price normally reflects the quality and power of a PSU. Top brands are perhaps Enermax, Seasonic, PCPower&Cooling, Antec, and maybe Silverstone (but I think the latter is over-priced).
the esiest way to *KILL* a motherboard is by installing cpu wrong, i killed a 754 board around 2 years ago
it fried!

MSI K9VGM-V Boot Issues

Well I am scratching my head on this one....
So I recently replaced Gigabyte K8 S754 board with an MSI K9VGM-V, A64 X2 4000+, and 2x1GB AData Dual channel memory kit. Both boards are based on Via chipset (MSI = VIA K8M890 and VT8237A; Gigabyte = VIA K8M800 and VT8237) so I assumed that there would be no issues with the OS.
Basically, it will boot, POST, and I can navigate thru and change BIOS settings all day long, but when the WinXP splash screen comes up it immediately reboots ...no errors messages just POST, Splash, Reboot never any farther. System is pretty basic as consists of following components:
Generic mATX case
TTGI 350W ATX PSU (P4/Athlon Ready, for whatever its worth...worked fine with A64 Clamhammer 3000+)
MSI MS-7235 v. 1.1 mainboard (BIOS dated 10/23/07)
A64 X2 Brisbane 4000+ Dual core 65W retail CPU
2 x 1GB ADATA dual channel PC26400 RAM kit
1 x 80GB Hitachi SATA HDD (first boot drive)
1 x 120GB WD1200JB ATA100 HDD
1 x floppy drive
1 x Liteon DVD/CDR-W
I consider myself a rather saavy technician and have tried to isolate by disconnecting everything but single SATA and nada. I suspect it is SATA driver related, but not sure how it could be given the old and new motherboard are based on practically same Via chipset. Any tips/tricks would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've found normally a repair of WinXP would do the trick. It's a bug in XP I think.
Vista doesn't have that problem!
Its not a bug XP was never designed to cope with such a different hardware changes, Vista has been designed to allow for this situation.

Msi k9vgm-v bad ram?

I have msi k9vgm-v motherboard,and when i press start is makes short continuing beeps and it shows black screen
,i took everything apart cleaned it up cause it was full of dust,but still it has continuing beeps and again it doesn't start,i took the ram off started it with out the ram and it makes the same beeps and doesn't show anything on screen,is it a bad ram???Thank you very much

vickgeo1981..
Please give more information as asked by flobelix.
That said... install one stick of memory. Clear your CMOS. Make sure your BIOS settings are correct, and retry to boot up. If that basic test does not work.. read the posting guide, and give us all your PC equipment specs.
Thanks

HELP NOW, PLEASE... MSI KM2M Combo-L Won't boot...!!!

HELP NOW, PLEASE... MSI KM2M Combo-L Won't boot...!!!
1) System was running fine...
2) Plugged in Split Mini-Jack from daughter card slot, to Line-In Minijack (where it was before)...
3) Sound from speakers blurted out loud...
4) Screen Froze up... no Ctl-Alt-Delete...
5) Power button... No response...
6) Reset Button... No Response...
7) Unplugged...
8) Try to power on...
RES:: No signal to monitor... LED Light on case turns on for about 10 seconds... CD-rom LED turns on as if BIOS... Then computer turns off... Fans Still working...
THOUGHTS:: Since the speakers are powered through the sound card (and were on at time), then when the Split Mini-Jack Dongle from daughter card, was plugged back into the Line-In Mini-jack port (where it was origionally)... Something shorted out... Any Ideas on what, exactly...?? Anyone heard of this before...?? I've never seen something like this before, and PC's have changed SOOO much over the last few years, that I'm kinda in the dark... But this is my girlfriend's computer, and she has a Mid-Term paper due on Monday (today being Saturday), and I'm in serious trouble right now... PLEASE HELP...!!!
The company that built the computer, doesn't seem to be in business anymore...!!!
(But the waranty sticker is still intact on the case, she doesn't want me to cut it unless the builder is definitely out of business...)
Basically... I'm Screwed...!!! I need your help...!!! SOON...!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE...!!!

MSI K9VGM-V QUESTION

Hi guys,
I'm a new user here and I have an MSI K9VGM-V motherboard and I would like to know if a graphics card can work for this board. I want to buy an NVIDIA 9500GT video card and would like to know if this can work for the current board. I've heard that via chipsets doesn't work at all with PCI Express 2.0 cards and since this board has a 1.0a PCI Express specification, I would like to know if this card will work.
Thanks in advance.

VIA P4M900 and K8M890 are substantially similar, basically just Intel and AMD versions of the same chipset. AFAIK, there should not be any difference between them insofar as PCI-E graphics card compatibility. I've tested the following PCI Express x16 cards on two different motherboards using P4M900 + VT8237A chipset:
- GeForce 8400GS (PCI-E 1.0)
- GeForce 9400GT (PCI-E 2.0)
- Radeon HD 3650 (PCI-E 2.0)
Motherboards were Foxconn P4M9007MB and PC CHIPS P53G V1.0, each using the latest BIOS. While all cards were stable and completed benchmarks without error, the Radeon HD 3650 appears to be under-performing by at least 20% on both P4M900 boards, using Catalyst 8.10 and 8.11 drivers. I haven't tested Catalyst 8.12 or any Hotfix versions, yet.
The 9400GT came with VGA BIOS v62.94.29.00.40 and was an EVGA #512-P3-N944-LR. I would recommend you get your 9500GT from EVGA. Even if the card doesn't ship with a compatible VGA BIOS, which is highly unlikely for any GF 9xxx series, EVGA is one of the few vendors who will supply users with a modified VGA BIOS to work on VIA chipsets.
I have a K8M890 motherboard but its an ASUS A8V-VM SE. I plan to test the same cards on the K8M890 in a few days.

MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7253)

Hello all and i`m glad to be here :D.If you can see the topics name that is my mother board.these are my specs:
CPU AMD Sempron 3400+ 1.98Ghz (oc from 1.8Ghz)
Mobo MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7253)
Memory 2x1 Gb Corsair Corsair Value Select 667 mhz
GPU EVGA nVIDIA 8600GT Superclocked
The thing is that i want to overclock more my CPU at least to pass over 2Ghz barrier.In the bios if i set the FSB at 223 my computer wont start now i have it at 220 and it works fine.I think there are some settings that i have to change that will allow me to pass the 2Ghz barrier
Thank you all that will answer

sorry for my late reply.so i change the memory index to 400mhz and the with memtest i changed the timing to 4-5-5-15 i dont know why i can`t change it to 5-5-5-15.
now what should i do?i hope it wont crash my os again.
thank you
"so i change the memory index to 400mhz "
and..? does that helps?
"and the with memtest i changed the timing to 4-5-5-15 i dont know why i can`t change it to 5-5-5-15."

MSI KM4M-V SKT problems

Right its my birthday today and my other half is building me a computer
we are having problems it seems with the mother board
MSI KM4M-V SKT
we get no screen ouput whatsoever the board has a extra connecter a 4 pin thing this is plugged in any ideas?

Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 24-September-05, 05:40:27
What a birthday, huh? I hope you and the better half is taking it alright!
What comes alive? No beeps?
If all fans start spinning, but nothing on screen, I recommend you take the mobo out of the case - after pulling power cable out - and put it on a non-static surface.
Reseat the memory in a new slot. Before powering on again check for visible damage.
Slightly edited, as Wannakanoby beat me to it.
after staying up till 5 am so itd be ready for me to play the sims the poor loves tearing his hair out but will try that now
any other suggestions are thankfully recieved!

Msi MSI K9VGM-V & amd x2 5000 black

I have a MSI MSI K9VGM-V mother board with an AMD athlon x2 5000 black CPU. Is it possible to overclock this chip with this board? I know the multiplier is unlocked on this chip, but can not find anything in bios to change the multiplier.
Thanks,
jimmyboy1

If the board doesn't support Core Center, you can try another app like Clock Gen, or Set FSB. You will need to OC in Windows with those, but it is better than nothing if they work. And you can try raising the HTT to 232, which should be easy enough for that chip. Most will do 3G easy. Just be sure your RAM can take it...You'll be running 464Mhz, so you made need to drop to the 667 divider. Good Luck.

MSI K9VGM-V Help!

Hi, i just got myselfe a new computer.
AMD 64 X2 6000+
2 gb RAM
500 gb HDD
Geforce 8600 GT
Tagan i-Xeye 420W
MSI K9VGM-V
This works really good except that it gets really hot, so i've got myselfe a 120 mm chassifan. This is were my problem starts, when i plug the fan into the 3 pin sys_fan thing, the networks card shuts down...
I've got the newest drivers for everything except BIOS, the file from MSI Live update is corrupt. But i have a rather new bios version, like 1.6 instead of 1.8. I've reinstalled my system manny times now but nothing helps :S
Anny suggestions?

There 2 X2 6000+ CPUs, 89W & 125W, since the 89W has not been available lately you most likely have the 125W version and it is not supported for use on that MB, 125W CPU will overload and fry the MOSFET voltage regulators for the CPU.
>> MSI CPU support page << for your MB.
Edit: ADX6000IAA6CZ - 125W
ADA6000IAA6CZ - 89W

MSI K9VGM-V, BIOS changelogs?

Would someone be so kind and please explain where i could find the changelogs for the MSI K9VGM-V BIOS, also where i can download them.
most important is to find the changelogs to further track down a possible solution.
the url: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=260 doesnt really help me at all.
"Live Update" and "Live Update 3" is not an option.

Hello and welcome!
Solution to what problem? BIOS updating should not be the first option. Also please supply a list of your hardware, including the PSU.
From googling a little I find the latest update to be 1.7. Doubt there are new updates. What do you currently have?

Hi,
You say:

Well i will hope for the best and if it doesn't work what will happen?
If you mean what I think you mean - can I damage anything by using the wrong memory etc.? The answer is generally no. However, If you take care when purchasing these items you'll get no grief later.
Previous posters are correct about underpowered PSU's and incompatible memory.
Read through the "Sticky" threads using the link that Raven supplied, and you won't go far wrong.
Good luck in your future endeavour - any probs you know where we are!

Speed Problems with MSI KM4M-L SKT A

I have recently purchased an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (333MHz FSB) Processor, and an MSI KM4M-L SKT A motherboard which states that it has an FSB of 333MHz. On the motherboard I set the jumpers for the CPU speed to 166MHz because I assume that because of DDR it makes it technically 333MHz?? However when I try to install an operating system I get random file errors, eg File NTLDLL.DLL not found, even though the file is there. If I change the CPU Speed to 100MHz or 133MHz then everything works fine. Any ideas on how I can get the computer to run at full speed without any errors??

Please give complete PC. specs. includding P.Su. brand and how many Amps. it gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v.

MSI Wind Nettop 100 Refuses to Boot

My MSI Wind Nettop 100 will not boot.
No video signal.
No bios screen.
No boot screen.
Just a blank screen on my monitor that says...No Video Signal.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis

BIOS doesn't go 'corrupt' over time, I doubt that is the problem. Besides, if the unit won't even POST, then there's no chance of flashing the BIOS anyway.
