Msi kt4v and tv-cards, a no-go ?

Hello ,
I just wanted to share my experience with this board and tv-cards . It seems not one tv card seems to work as it should on this board !??!
This is the conclusion i must come too after having tested several cards off different manufacturers.
radio on these cards does work without a flaw , but whenever tv function is used , screen output is garbled, just impossible to watch.
I wonder where the problem lies :
having had those cards in an kt7a (kt133a chipset) from abit without a problem and also on an msi intel bx mobo without probs,
i can only conclude its the freaking mobo witch does something wrong, might it be the VIA kt400 ???
it is not os related since all pc have same os = Win XP.
APIC doesnt make a difference and it shouldn't as apic is a part of pci 2.1 standard (so is acpi). after trying every possible permutation of pci card / slot configuration nothing helps.
Can someone research this further ?
whenever cpu usage goes up to full i even had some more garbled pics where something was vissible : this is very strange, de cpu seems to send out high frequencies that mess up the system somewhere.
sys specs :
MSI KT4V version 1
bios 1.8
XP 2500+
512Meg 333 DDR 1 stick
enermax 460Watt PSU (430 true watts)
GeForce 3 Ti200 hercules
SB audigy
RTL 8139 nic (el cheapo)
2 * seagate barracuda IV 40 gig
cdrw plextor
dvd pioneer
tested cards : hauppauge wintv series and aver tvphone series
greetings

hi maesus,
all those options have already been tried and nothing really does any affect accept when i ennabled cpu halt detection: it got even worse, i never used that option to start with
changing pci latency did nothing and i keep it at lowest possible therefore.
delay transaction enabled did nothing and i keep it dissabled since i have no problem with the audigy installed, the sound is perfect. also tried combinations of these settings.
i also can't seem to get 256Meg AGP aperture size to be recognized when set in bios to 256 all possible programs return a size of 128 ?
i also tried diferent winxp kernels : acpi uniproccesor (with apic) , advanced configuratio..... kernel, standard pc kernel. no differences whatsoever. everything works as it should witch is in fact great , except the darned tv-cards, that is to say, their picture is messed up.
i wish i could try it on an nforce2 board
greetings

  • MSI KT4V and radeon card compatibility.

    hi guys...first of all, sorry about bad english, i'm from germany.
    well, the point is, i actually have a MSI KT4V mother board installed in mi pc, and i planed to buy a Radeon 9800 pro graphic card, i have 2 options...buy the BBA (build by ati)..or the sapphire one, i want to know if i will have any trouble of compatibility with both of this cards. Just that, please i'm waiting for your's answers guys

    Codegen don't perform as well as you might think. The info I ask for should be on a sticker on the PSU, inside the case. But I'll help you, since I've been there before.
    As you see below, there is not much room for a Radeon9800:
    "Codegen 400W Pentium 4 ATX Switching Dual Fan Power Supply, Retail Package
    Output:400W
    +3.3V -> 14A Orange
    +5.0V -> 30A Red
    +12V -> 12A Yellow
    +5VSB -> 2A Purple
    -5V -> 0.5A White
    -12V -> 0.8A Blue "

  • MSI KT4V and Barton 3000+ crash problem

    Hi all!
    I recently upgraded my PC (MSI KT4V) with an AMD Barton 3000+ CPU. Before I had a 2600+ Throughbred.
    With my old 2600+ I could run my system stable with a FSB set at 166. It couldn't go much higher that 175 before the system became unstable.
    With my new Barton I have a problem :
    With my FSB set at 166 games like Far Cry and COD crashes. Explorer crashed at sites with Flash content (flash.ocx error report) otherwise no problems. My Pinnacle studio 7 program couldn't render playable movies.
    After I underclocked my CPU, setting the FSB at 154 giving me a total speed of 2GHz, all problems are gone now  
    My system reports a CPU temp at 48 degrees celsius at a 166 FSB setting but could it be a cooling problem anyway?
    I have used Artic Silver as thermal paste on the CPU die.
    I have reset my memory timings to CAS 2,5 even though the Corsair RAM supports CAS 2 to get the most stable system.
    Is the KT 400 chipset up for the job with the increased speed?
    I would like to get the most performance out of my new Barton so I hope that some of you guys can help me out here.
    My system spec is :
    Win XP SP1 and SP2
    CPU : AMD Barton XP 3000+
    Motherboard : MSI KT4V (Bios 1C0)
    Soundcard : SB Audigy 2
    Graphics card : Radeon 9800pro 256
    Memory : 1GB Corsair XMS (CAS 2)
    Power suply : Antec 480W
    All latest drivers installed
    Best Regards
    Basse

    Hi Osnavi!
    48 degrees is an idle temp and about 51 stressed.
    The processor is an Athlon 3000+ 333MHz
    The cooler is a Thermaltake Silent Boost
    I have 2 modules 512 MB Corsair XMS PC 2700 333MHz placed in slot 1 and 3
    I forgot to tell that I ran memtest386 with the fsb set at 166 and I had error reports on the 128Kb L1 cache right away. Lowering the fsb to 154, the memtest came out alright.
    Should I remove the heatsink and reaply cooling paste - silver-free maybe?
    Strange  
    Any ideas are welcome
    Best regards
    Basse

  • MSI KT4V and Radeon X800 Pro...

    Hi all!
    I have a question regarding my MSI KT4V MoBo. Does anybody have any experience installing a Radeon X800 card in such a MoBo?
    I have read earlier that there was a size problem with the 9800 pro series.
    Apparently it is so big that it touches the ram slots!?
    The X800 is smaller though so it may not be a problem.
    Any help will be appreciated  
    Best Regards
    Basse

    I don't see how it would touch the RAM slots, it might just be a problem when you need to remove RAM that you need to remove the card first so you can pull back the RAM clips.

  • My MSI Board and ATI Cards

    I have been looking into upgrading my Video Card and I am very much looking at one of the higher-end ATI Radeaon cards. But I also hear some complaints concerning my board and the ATI cards, with respect to the AGP slot and the whole 4x/8x issue. Can somone tell me what ATI board, if any, will work with my board with no issues?
    Or am I being forced t ostay ith GeForce Boards?
    I currently have the 1.80 BIOS for my board.
    Thanks

    Quote
    Official statement from MSI :
    KT4 Ultra was tested OK with ATI Radeon 9700 in MSI lab.
    Some applications incorrectly detected the card as AGP2x. (refer to [1] knowing that this board only supports AGP4x and AGP8x). ATI addresses this issue here. Other tools like PowerStrip correctly shown AGP8x.
    Detail discussions were taken place here. The current workaround is :
    * do not install or uninstall any VIA AGP drivers, including those in VIA 4-in-1 drivers.
    Thanks to everyone contributed to the KT4 vs Radeon 9700 thread.
    We assume Radeon 9700 Pro, 9700, 9500 Pro and 9500 should work flawlessly with KT4 Ultra as virtually no complain report against these products at the moment.
    I saw this in the Forum Troubleshooting FAQ. I was Planning on getting a 9700 PRO or later card. Has anynone had any issues with that card?

    You could either:

    3. lower down your (unlocked) multiplier and run at FSB 166Mhz so all PCI and AGP are still in default speed.
    Any other speed than 100Mhz, 133Mhz and 166Mhz FSB is NOT recommended!
    Please don't quote me further as overclocking is at your own risk and may spoil your hardware.
    And you think that i dind not try those 3 points  X(
    ofcourse i did but my board does not boot @ a multiplyr difrend than 13,5 ( and yes the cpu is unlocked ).
    and about overclocking:
    that i destroy my hardware i dont care its cheap stuff and i have plenty of cooling so i am not really worryd about that.
    Any one else has som info for me ?

  • MSI Ti4800SE and MSI KT4V motherboard incompatible?

    Yesterday I bought an MSI Ti4800SE to replace a GeForce2. It booted up fine and Windows detected it and installed the drivers. However, on rebooting, the monitor went blank and there was a series of beeps.
    The computer would not start. I tried taking out all the other cards and tried the video card in 2 other computers but all I got was the beeps. I took the card back and got a refund as they had no more in stock.
    Is the video card incompatible with the motherboard for some reason? Did I somehow cause the card to die? Should I buy another or will the same thing happen again?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    My system is
    MSI KT4V motherboard
    Athlon 2500
    512Mb Kingston RAM
    SB Live
    Network card
    56k Modem
    2 hard drives
    DVD ROM
    Mitsumi CD writer
    350W PSU
    Windows 98SE
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks very much for your advice - looks like I need to spend yet more money then!
    But do you think I damaged the card by not supplying enough current, bearing in mind that it booted OK the first time? Or was it not damaged at all?

  • MSI board and card but.....

     I can only run the card in 1x,2x mode. When I put it on 4x it frezes most times right after launch        have a K7 Master (6341) and an MSI G3 Ti200

    ......the funny thing is, I just bought a new MB. I got the msi kt4v. I Thought I had fried my other one so in haste I bought the new one. I have since got my old one working even better then before ( floppy was screwed up, just started working after all the other stuff I did...heh)save for the agp thing. Thats same as it was.
    But, now I dont really wanna mess with takin my cpu out again. I lost 4 degrees on my cpu this last week when I reseated the HS. (I spent a lot of time making sure it was done right). And it already runs REALLY HOT> *68 to 73C*. So I really wanna figure this out.
    I didnt have any games that really required more of my system but that has changed and its a bit hard to accept that I cant run an MSI GPU with an MSI MB.
    They were both decent gear around the same time I purchased them, so it seems they should be compatable.
    The local pro shop states *we have never heard of an MSI card not working with an MSI board*   but I didnt bother to have them check it out when it was under warranty so they would rape me if I took it to them.  NAd this post is so wordy cause Im at work and bored to death....
    shall I go on?

  • Msi nx6800gt and MSI kt4v

    My MSI nx6800 gt will not work in my MSI KT4V motherboard.
    I install it and when i boot up all i see is a jumbled mess of colors when it`s trying to post.
    Are they not compatible?
    The MSI KT4V is supposed to have an 8x AGP slot.
    Is it maybe the VIA drivers. I`m running 4-in-1 ver 451v
    What`s up?
    Why won`t it work?

    What chipset drivers are you running ?
    I`ve tried different versions of Via 4-1 and still card won`t work.
    I`m running Enermax 460 watt PS so power is not an issue.
    I`ve read in some of the forums about bad cards.
    I`m wondering if i got one ?
    You would think support would have more info if this was a
    common problem

  • Radeon 9500-9700 and KT400 (MSI KT4V)

    hey,
    I currently use a Radeon 8500 with an MSI KT4V (KT400 chipset) mobo. Can I safely upgrade to a Radeon 9500/9700 video card -- I understand that these cards are quite power hungry and to be safe I'll also be upgrading my 350W PSU (3.3+5V=216W) to an Antec 400W+ PSU.
    Are there any other issues with regards compatibility (I know that there are some issues with Linux and KT400's AGP 3.0/8X support, but I only plan on using WinXP Pro). Would I need the AGP8X/AGP 3.0 to AGP4X/AGP 2.0 hardware hack in order to use my video card (as the current motherboard BIOS doesn't allow me to set the AGP mode)?
    Also I've read many posts on Usenet and the MSI forums regarding problems with the earlier versions of the Radeon 9500/9700 cards -- have these issues been addressed in the later revisions of these cards (or the Radeon 9600/9800 series??)
    Any other issues with regards BIOS revisions, VIA 4-in-1 drivers, etc that I need to be aware about?
    best,
    vin

    bogeyman,
    i'm not pointing fingers at msi or via or ati. all i want to know is whether i can safely use an ati dx9 series video card with my msi/via kt400 mobo. i've read several posts with varied workarounds and am confused as hell. considering that a 9500 would cost around $200, i just want to be safe than sorry. here are some of the workarounds i've read about:
    1. 8x to 4x hardware hack
    2. increasing agp voltage to 1.7-1.8 (still don't know how this is possible as an agp3.0/8x card uses 0.8volts if i remember correctly)
    3. uninstalling the via hyperion agp drivers (does this degrade performance considerably? i know the default winxp drivers don't have fast write capability)
    4. setting agp speed to 4x using powerstrip (provided i can boot )
    5. changing the psu
    6. avoid sharing of IRQs with the radeon video card
    so all i'm looking for is a "sure, go ahead and spend $200, but also remember to do this..."
    best,
    vin
    ps: i've been running an ati radeon 8500 card for 18 months now and i love it, but sadly it's become a bottleneck in newer games.

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • MSI KT4V (6712) and type of clock generator

    Hi!
    I try to use SpeedFan for dynamic change of CPU/FSB/PCI/AGP speed. But to do it, I must know one thing: what model of clock generator (clockgen?) in used on my MB, MSI KT4V (6712). Someone know it or have ability to check it (mainboard in my PC is unacessable)? Probably (?) it is ICS 94xxx or ICS 95xxxx, small chip near AGP slot. I've try to use diagnostic aplications like AIDA32, SciSoftSandra and analyze MB images, but without success. If anyone could help me, I'll be really very gratefully
    Thanks in advance-
    Greetings
    Artur ([email protected])

    Hi!
    Well, I think it is not so danger. First - MSI FuzzyLogic can change FSB/Vcore/Vagp on-line, so it is possible and secure, second - I've try to find clock generator using random types of it. Results - MB hang up, but after PowerOF/PowerOn starts and works fine :-) I've always says that KT4V is a really powerfull model :-)
    I see that you have the same MB as mine - could you do me a favour and check clock generator type on our KT4V board?
    It will be really helpfull for me ...
    Greetings

  • AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT4V MS-6712 MB

    Can somebody help me pls? I do have a MSI KT4V MS-6712 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor. According the CPU RATIO settings table I should put the ratio 16 and the FSB on 133, but I don't have a 16. I only have a 15 and if I use the 15 instead of the 16 I do get a performance of 733 Mhz. When I use the 12.5/13 the system says it's a XP-2000+, but I'm still missing some Mhz. I did already upgrade the BIOS to version 1.8 but no results.
    Pls help me, I'm getting crazy! ;(

    I changed it into 166 Mhz and now it's acting as a XP 2600+.
    Rob, thanks for your suggestion and help in this matter.

  • Msi 651 and tv@nywhere card with CRAPPY sound

    I have a msi 651 and tv@nywhere card.  I have the sound running from the tv card to the mic. in card on the motherboard.  The sound is very tinny and hollow and sounds like garbage.  Also whenever I start the program I have to manually open my volume control and turn up the volume of the wave.  any suggestions?

    In front of the CDAudioIn connector there is another "aux" connector called CN16 (or was it CN13?) This "aux" audio connector is a TVAudio connector. If your TVCard has an internal AudioOutput connector, you only have to connect the TVCard with the TVAudioInput (CN16) using a standard CDAudio cable. Else, you have to build a cable with a CDAudio connector on one side and a 3.5 stereo connector on the other side.
    See the 651 MoBo scheme in the 651 manual to get more information about how to locate this CN16(TVAudioInput) connector
