MSI Media Live: can't install Windows 7

Hello,
I'm not able to install win 7 :(
Installation always crash during "unpacking windows files" I try install from DVD, from USB, with monitor connected via HDMI or D-SUB (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127670.0)
with bios version 1.5 or 1.63... it is still the same. What the heck can be the problem???
Anybody any idea?
Thanks!

Topic split. What hardware have you installed in your Media Live?

MSI B85M-G43 can't install Windows 7. Hard disk not detected.

Hi,
I just built a new computer for the first time. I followed the instructions and did everything correctly. but am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Hard disk isn't always detected during the installation.
But when it appeared in the "Where do you want to install Windows" list along with system, I tried to format the hard disk and got a message "Failed to format the select partition. [Error 0x80070057]."
Then I restarted the computer, the hard disk no longer displayed in the list, so I put motherboard driver disc and clicked on Load Driver and opened Storage\Intel\PCH_12.0\f6flpy-x64. It loaded, then I got a message saying "To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable Windows installation."
I restarted again and disabled Driver Signature Enforcement, but it didn't help. I still got the same message.
In the computer case I have these devices:
- MSI B85M-G43, Socket-1150
- Intel Core i5-4430 Processor
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
- MSI GeForce GTX 650Ti BOOST 1GB
- Cooler Master GX 550W PSU
- WD Desktop Green 1TB
- SuperMulti 16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA drive
Everything is plugged in correctly. Hard disk connector plugged in SATA 1 and DVD -> SATA 2.
The installation is pretty slow, regardless if i install it via USB or x16 DVD. All except DVD and hard disk are disabled. It's also worth to mention that even DVD and USB aren't always detected in the click BIOS.
So I'm wondering if anyone here can help me? Thanks

Hi and
1: What BIOS version you have? .. Have you tryed to downgrade/upgrade it already?
2: Have you tryed it in those SATA 2 ports? ...is it same strory?
- On SATA there aint any master or Slave like on IDE so if you are under same controller it dosent mutter what port you use on what device.
Note: SATA 3 Ports are faster then SATA2 ports, but even SATA 1 can handel your DVD or HDD. So no lose if you need to use SATA 2 ports.
Hope this get you foward! Cheers Mummy

MSI K8N Neo2, can't install Windows

My Windows got bad after SP2 was installed so I went to reinstall Windows...
When I try to install Windows XP Pro I get Blue Screen/system freeze/black screen.
This happens soon as the cd starts to read the files/installing files after format.
I haven't been able at all to install Windows successfully (I don't even get to windows).
My system is listed above and as you can see I have tried with 2 different graphic cards, 2 different rams and with/without the booster, with/without the soundcard, 3 different dvdplayers and 3 different Windows XP Pro.
Och and yes I have tried the hardware (except mb & cpu, don't have another Amd 64 mb or cpu) in an another computer and they work fine.
Nothing works.
Could it be that the mb that is bad or?

MSI Z77A-G45 can't install window 7 by raid 0

I have a rig which:
CPU: Core i7 3770k
HDD: Two Western Digital 1 TB 7200
Main: MSI Z77A-G45
Power supply: 700W
Ram: 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz
*** VGA card: MSI Geforce nVidia GTX 660 Ti 3GBDDR5 TF
After configuring BIOS to setup RAID 0, I was trying to install Window 7 on my 1.8TB ( which was summed of two HDD )
But I got a problem about couldn't install the O.S on.
***And about the VGA, whenever I plug it in my mobo, my monitor shows black screen as it doesn't recognize the VGA card. What happen if I install window then add the VGA card later? Will it affect on my system later?
And what should I do to install RAID 0 with my stuff? I appreciate all supports.
Thank for read and answer my topic!

The 660ti will require a bios update to use most likely.
Is the system stable enough to flash? The forum flash tool included memtest, run this an so long as no errors or crashes, go ahead a flash to the most recent bios.

Make sure in you next post to include more detail on the raid set up error. What error? When did it fail?

MSI MEDIA LIVE (ATI HD 3200) - Flickering/unstable in Windows 7 (x64?)

I am having a new virgin install problem (after upgrading the processor) the problem may be x64.
Story: Well, this is a MSI Media Diva motherboard MS-7411 and I had to install Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) in order to be able to update the BIOS to 1.3 to accept the new AMD quad processor (Phenon II X4 905e) that I was contemplating for the build.
Windows 7 x86 showed cleanly and stable with no video flicker. The BIOS update went smoothly, and then I did a clean install of Windows 7 but installed x64 (64 bit) his time instead of x86 (32-bit).
At first the boot screen seemed stable, but on the desktop it flickered constantly (with black lines). I did some updates and installed the ATI driver software and the correct monitor profile and it seems to flicker less, but it still seems like an unstable image at a minute level (that is the screen is not solid, there are little jaggy flickers throughout like radio interference).
When there were black bar flickers swore it flickered in response to some interference from another device - or at least that's what it seems like to me.
Set-Up:
MSI Media Live DIVA MS-7411 motherboard
. North Bridge: AMD® 780M
. South Bridge: AMD® SB700
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200
Phenom II X4 905e Processor
G.Skill F2-640-CL4D-4GBPK PC2-6400 (2 x 2GB DDR2-800) Dual Channel Memory
BIOS AMI 1.34 (most recent) - Optomized Defaults
Intel 40GB SSD is the main HD with the OS (SATA), + 1TB WD Green HDD (for media) (SATA) + LG DVD Multi-drive (SATA)
Monitor Samsung SyncMaster 215TW (same flicker whether I use VGA or Component Out)
ATI Catalyst 10.1 for Windows 7 (x64) Suite installed.
There was a point where it seemed more stable and was giving me a dialogue saying that the Catalyst Control Panel was not for my version video driver (and that may have been with the Windows 7 default driver install.
I would prefer to run x64 for personal reasons and to take advantage of more RAM.
I may try doing a fresh install of Win7 x86 32 bit and see if the problem goes away again
- but I hate having to do this experimentaiton on my SSD.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Thank you in advance.

64bit Windows not some logical step to follow if you don't have 64bit software that you need to run.
64bit CPU's have been around for a long time, yet Microsoft never bothered to do anything with it, with as result it's just starting where Linux/Unix started 20 years ago.
That is why they are stable with it and Windows is not, also they maintain a completely different OS model and they have 99.99% of the source-code of all programs.
And it's still not a priority for Microsoft, as they maintain 32bit versions just the same, but no software in 64bit versions that is worth switching for.
32bit has trouble free drivers and software, no wonder, they had decades to perfect 2000, XP, (Vista)W7...however, 64bit Windows is a wormhole, best left to be untouched until you explicitly need it.
As for running 64bit Windows with 32bit software it's NOT faster, NOT as stable and NOT as compatible.
Looks enough reason for me....

MSI Media Live problems out of the box! :(

Hi everybody!
I have recently bought an MSI Media Live from ebuyer with the hope if replacing and improving on my old MegaPC.
Out of the box all looked well and started to fill the barebones box with all my bits and pieces. Bought an AMD AM2 chip for it and put in some memory from another PC DDR2.
The machine on switch on started the obligatory BIOS checks and off we went. Or so I thought.
First of all I placed my Media Centre 2005 cd in the drive and the machine point blank refused to boot from the CD drive. After a while I thought I would stick XP Home in and do an upgrade from within. The XP Home disk came up with the line about checking system configuration and then hung. This happened repeatedly.
Next plan was install Media Centre on the HDD using another PC. So swapped the RAM back out and the HDD and went for the install. This went without a hitch on the other PC so after the install swapped the RAM and HDD back into the media live.
The Windows startup screen then came up but would get stuck in a reboot loop before windows started. If I asked to boot into safe mode the machine would start. This leads me to believe it is a software issue. While in safe mode with networking, managed to get all the updates I could find for both windows and MSI. However still can't get the machine to start in anything but safe mode which is driving me nuts because I can see what the machine is capable of but just can't get into it!
If anyone has any ideas they will be much appreciated. Have run RAM checks and swapped all parts out to make sure they work in other machines which they do and obviously there is nothing wrong with the install CD.
Just seemed to have reached a dead end!#
Thanks in advance.

You can't install Windows on one PC and then transfer the drive into another PC, it won't work unless the other PC is identical, due to differences in hardware abstraction layer and core system drivers.
Have you anyway of trying another optical drive? If you can't, you may want to return the unit to Ebuyer for replacement

MSI Media Live -- Mega 180 all over again???

Well, since there isn't a forum dedicated to the MSI Media Live barebones, I figured I post it here. Let me just start off by saying that I was very hesitant to buy another MSI barebones after the last overheating fiasco with the Mega 180 that I previously purchased. So, I bought the Media Live, along with 2GB of RAM and an AMD 5200+ X2 CPU and a 320GB SATA drive.
I tried installing Windows Media Center 2005. It installed but getting it to boot reliably each and every time without a blue screen proved to be an impossible task. I switched the CPU, the memory and the HD with no change. One thing that did strike me is the VGA BIOS on the system that states that it's not for production use. So, I went and purchased Vista Ultimate. That installed fine and it boots up with no blue screens which is a good thing. Of course, vista is very buggy and annoying and I would love to put MCE 2005 back on this thing. There are absolutely no driver/bios updates on the MSI Media Live barebones. I understang that it's new, but a pre-production VGA bios is unacceptable. Oh yeah, I forgot the most annoying thing about it. The front slot to feed a CD/DVD does not align properly with the actual optical drive, so when you eject cd/DVD it gets stuck. That of course is a workmanship issue. I would love to get a new front that actually works for this.

Well, the link doesn't work. It takes me to the MSI global site. Why should I contact the reseller? It's not their fault MSI has a QA problem! It's not like the flip door on the Mega 180 ever worked right anyways, did it? It's not like the Mega 180 didn't get hot as hell, but MSI continued to sell it, didn't they? Any other manufacturer would have recalled all the units instead of having posts on their forums on how to cool down your mega 180 and by the way, by following these instructions you invalidate your warranty, blah blah blah!. I mean seriously, who does that?
There is nothing to adjust on the drive cage as far as I can tell. I think it's a poorly designed front. I'm sure I'm going to end up being yet another beta tester for MSI with this unit just like I was with the Mega 180. I just wish the media live doesn't end up being the same crap that the mega 180 was.
I'm sure this topic will be censored by MSI. I hope not, because it will be re-posted on anandtech as well as hardocp and any other forums that I see fit. All I want is a properly working unit without me having to do any freaking adjustments to it. I don't think it's too much to ask from a manufacturer. I'm simply not going to take it in the rear from MSI on this one!!! Once was enough. This time I will make a big stink about it.

MSI Media Live - HDMI Problems

Hi all
Hope somebody can help?
Got a little problem with this system when connected via HDMI cable.
On boot up it displays the Windows Start up info (not sure the correct term) and the logo saying Windows XP loading, but then get a blank screen. If I change over to scart all is OK I can see the desktop.
Possibly something daft, but it has beat me.
Many thanks

MSI Media Live: TV-Out Probs in HDMI-MCE-Fullscreen-Mode

Hello Folks,
maybe anybody has a hint: my MSI Media Live @ Toshiba Regza 42X3030D loses video-output after switching to full screen mode.
The screen supports acc. to manual via HDMI following modes: 1080p, 1080i and 720p
In Windows mode everything working fine in 1920x1080 interlaced and non-interlaced - but after pressing the green button i got a no-signal-blue-screen (not a BSOD). Hitting Windows-Key i can go back and kill the wmc-task.
Does anybody know in what resolution at which frequency runs mce-fullscreen interface?
Is there any possiblity to edit a config-file to set a resolution/frequency-mode to avoid auto-testing/ajustment?
I would be grateful about every hint.
Thanx

Sorry but your are doing something wrong with your ML.
I just installed the Screensaver ver 3.0beta on my ML and it performs without any hickups or troubles at all.
I'm using the following:
Athlon X2 4200+
2x 1GB DDR800 cheapest I could find
Onboard video 1680*1050*32
XP SP3
Standard MSI supplied drivers.
I did notice you are using 4x memory sticks at DDR800, you should know that the AMD CPU you use doesn't official support 4 (dualsided) sticks at DDR800.
Have you tried running with 2 sticks or reduced speed to DDR667 and 2T commandrate?
Or tried with Vista32 bit?
It's strange you have to put another card in there.
Also, I have altered my CPU-fan direction as the box gets way hot, my CPU fan is now blowing out instead of sucking air in and fill the box with hot CPU-air.
That way the box stays very cold.
It's very easy to change the direction, simply take the top of the cooler off (put a screwdriver in the 4 holes and it comes off) then slide the fan out and turn it around.
Maybe it helps you too.

MSI Media LIVE no HDMI picture after standby

Hi!
I have media live barebone with XP Pro SP2 and everything is working fine except there is no signal from HDMI after standby. I have Philips 26PF4310 connected via HDMI-DVI cable. I have installed drivers from MSI site (Updated 2007-03-08). Computer must be restarted so that picture comes visible again. Does anyone got solution to this problem?

Temperature Concern MSI Media Live.

The temperatures of my MSi Media Live is worrying me.
Putting my hand over CPU cooling vent was very hot and in the past the PC has switched off on it's own.
I was running at around 60 degrees C on idle after Windows XP loaded.
I used to have a AMD x2 5600+ processor (65W) but recently changed it for an AMD x2 4850e processor (45W) hoping my temperatures would drop.
Unfortunately they have not.
Things that I have tried are:
Reseating the stock HSF, repasting TIM (Arctic Silver 5)
Turning the stock fan around to face upwards (as described elsewhere on this forum, to blow hot air out)
Swapping the stock cooler for a Scythe Shuriken Rev.b - Seemingly hardly any difference in temps, maybe 4-5 degrees lower?
Removing the riser card (to allow more air movement inside the case)
Changing processors (x2 5600+ to a x2 4850e)
Reflashed the BIOS to the most current version (thinking there was a sensor problem)
Speedfan is obviously reading from my Winbond sensor, HWInfo shows me the temperatures of each core (a lot higher than Speedfan)
The T-Max of my CPU is 78 degrees C so I've set the BIOS to shutdown at 80 degrees C, I have disabled Smart Fan and cool and quiet in the BIOS.
I've setup Speedfan to alert me of high temperatures once the CPU (Winbond) gets to 65 degrees C
One other thing I've noticed is that the nVidia MCP was ridiculously hot and would often heat up the steel case support bar (directly above) when I was reseating the CPU I also reseated and repasted this heatsink too.
I've attached a screenshot I've just taken doing a few Windows updates, as you can see the maximum core temps are rather high.
Before putting the case lid back on I had my hand over the CPU Fan and it seem only warm?
I've read that it is possible that the temperature sensors are effected by the Brisbane bug but I want to be 100% sure that this is the problem?
Please advise thoughts or suggestions. Thank-you in advance,

Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.
Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra2 Review
Newegg - HP StorageWorks X310 Windows Home Server
I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

Can i install windows 8.1 as a virtual machine without an existing windows os

can i install windows 8.1 as a virtual machine without an existing windows os? I only have the download of 8.1, no cd.

You have to download and run the setup.exe on a Windows system.
That will then download Windows and you can choose at the end to create install media, then choose to save as an iso.
It has to be done on a Windows machine and if you want to download 64 bit Windows it must be run on a 64 bit Windows machine.

Can't install Windows on my iMac with 16 Go !

Hello !
I bought an iMac i7 3.4 GHz SSD + 1TB drive and 4GB of ram. I replaced the 4 GB of RAM with 16 GB purchased from Crucial (4 strips 4GB with a priori the same features as the apple strips which are Samsung ...).
Everything is fine when I use Mac OS 10.6.8. No memory problem.
By cons, can not install Windows 7 32 bit or 64. An error occurs during the installation process : 0x80070570. After a little research on the forums, it is an error that may be due to a corrupted media - for example broken record - but this is not the case : my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
The experience of other users evokes an error caused by memory. So I reinstalled my original bars of 2 GB. And there, no problem of installation. Windows is working properly. After reinstalling Windows, I replaced my memory with my 4 bars crucial,"and there is the drama." Windows becomes unstable : crashes, errors of registration,software installation... useless... I run a diagnostic memory test that went smoothly ! Obviously, the memory does not seem corrupted, especially since it works well on Mac OS 10.6.8.
So I decided to link the two strips origins (2 GB each) with two crucial strips (4 GBeach), a total of 12 GB of ram. And it works.
Do you have an explanation for this problem? Do you know how I can install Windows with my 16 GB crucial?
Thank you.

You make no mention of how your are attempting to install MS Windows so it's a little tough to help you. If you are using Boot Camp please use Boot Camp Assistant and if you still have problems please post in the Boot Camp forum. If you are using virtualization software (Fusion, Parallels etc.) then use the instructions that came with their software and if you still have difficulty please post in their forums.
