MSI MEGA PC parts

Hello, I just got a MSI mega pc and I was wondering what i needed to buy to make it work. I heard you can only buy msi made optical drives to work in the multimedia mode, is that true? I bought a MSI D16 16x dvd drive, would that work? I can't seem to find the cdrw-dvd combo drive anywhere yet, do you have a link for that? I can't find a good tv tuner card either, I saw a msi mega tv tuner card and also 2 tv anywhere cards from msi, which one should I get? And which video card should I get? I'm looking at the msi vtdr-5600 because it is cool and quiet, which is good for the mini pc, but I don't really need a tv in if I'm going to get a tv tuner, do I? Thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply, so i should be able to use any cd drive to work the cd player and mp3 right? Since i don't need the video in if i'm getting the tv card, what video card should i get? I want something that I can play games on but also quiet and not too hot, any suggestions? I also bought corsair 512 pc3200 memory, the MEGA only uses 2700 i think, will the pc3200 work with it? Can i also put a 2.4 800mhz bus hypertreaded cpu and use it at 2.4? The MEGA only has a 533 bus, which hyperthreaded cpu's can be used? Thanks

  • PSU MSI Mega PC 651

    Hi,
    I have been having for a few years the MSI Mega PC 651, from a few days it works only in way HIFI but in way PC doesn't work anymore.
    I have read on this forum that the problem is the PSU, but it seems that cannot be found.
    I have contacted both MSI Italy and MSI global, nobody has responded me.
    What must I do?
    Do I throw the Mega PC away?

    Quote
    This PSU is also climbed on on other barebone as the Scaleo C of Fujitsu-Siemens, part number FSP:350000145.
    That is correct, as I recall MSI made this barebones for Fujitsu-Siemens based on the Mega 651.

  • MSI Mega series girder plugin version 2.0 available

    Hallo
    EDIT:
    There is a new version out: check here for details of the version 2.
    I'm proud to release the first version of my MSI Mega series plugin for girder 3.2. Thank for all the reported bugs :-). I implemented a new feature to set the time resolution of the remote control. People with the new firmware will enjoy the gained flexibility. Current version is 1.0.0.70.
    Where to get the plugin?
    The plugin can be downloaded from my webpage. Check out http://n.ethz.ch/student/nschmid/MSIStuff for details :-) - [See note below]
    Which hardware is supported?
    MSI MEGA series front IR controller. It has been tested with MSI MEGA 180/865/651.
    What software do I have to install to use the plugin?
    Girder version 3.2. Buy it at http://www.girder.nl ~20$
    DLLs: MSIDrvIF.dll, ForMpc.dll. They come with MSI MediaCenter III Deluxe. Search for it.
    How do I install it?
    Copy "MSIGirderPlugin.dll" from the "bin" directory into your girder plugin folder.
    Copy "MSIDrvIF.dll", "ForMpc.dll" from your MSI Media Center III directory into the girder folder.
    What does it cost?
    Of course nothing.
    How to report bugs?
    Check out the webpage for details.
    I hope you enjoy it. Developing will go on :-)
    Best regards
      Nathan
    EDIT by Stu: The plugin is now attached to this post and can be downloaded from here now. :hat tip:
    [ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]

    Sure.  
    You have to install MSI Media Center because it installs the driver for the plugin. The required DLLs are not sufficient because ForMpc.dll need mpcsys.sys and assosciated files. I couldn't figure out all the dependencies but with the installation you got all you need.
    1.) Now you can launch setup.exe and it should install everything automatically.
    If that don't work: Copy MsiDrvIF.dll and ForMpc.dll form your Media Center installation into the girder directory (normally C:\Program Files\girder) and MSIGirderPlugin.dll from my release into the girder plugin directory (C:\Program Files\girder\plugins). That's the system part.
    2.) Now launch Girder and open settings. In the plugins tab search for the "MSI Mega series" entry in the list. If it's not listed you did something wrong into step 1. If it is listed check the checkbox left of the plugin. Then also check "Auto Enable Input device". Restart girder.
    Create a new command (CTRL+ALT+A) click on it and on the right side of the window select the Plugins tab and click there on MSI mega series. Then click on Settings. As Time resolution enter 250 (a quarter second - depends on firmware of Bluebird VL+). As model select your model. Press on OK.
    Restart girder - your settings will apply.
    3.) Now when girder is opened again you can press the remote and check if the LED on the right side of the status bar changes color. If that is so everything is ok. If not: Check all steps again.
    4.) If you want to launch my sample configuration: Go to girder website and download the Popup OSD plugin by Mark Fiechtner and install it as written in the readme file of Popup OSD. Launch girder and go to the plugins tab in the settings. Check AlarmTimer and Popup OSD there. The sample file should work now. Unfortunatly you have to rerecord some of the makros because the version of winamp or PowerDVD are perhaps not the same as in my computer.
    For this stuff please post in girder forum. I don't support the sample file.
    Hope that helps
    Regards

  • Poblem with software to msi mega 180

    hi, I have bought a Msi mega 180 with amd.
    i have installed the software. mega deluxe 3.
    Everything is working fine,but when i try to listen to music via, multimedia part, the program crash. when i press ctrl+alt+del i got the error program not respondinging.
    I have reinstalled the program 3 times but i still have this problem.

    Thanks for posting the link AtHoSsIcO. I still have the same problem, even with the new software. I have downloaded the lastest drivers
    Audio driver version 4.31 (WHQL)
    Audio utility version 4.31
    Ethernet driver 3.39 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu
    GART driver 3.43 (WHQL)
    MemCtl driver 3.38 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu
    SMBus driver 3.43
    WinXP IDE 2.5 driver version 4.12 (WHQL) + updated nvuide.exe and txtsetup.oem
    Installer version 4.31
    I have installed the latest version (45.3), but I still get the same thing, I click on music and 'loading' in green writing appears in the left hand top corner, then nothing loads and the program crashes and I have to press ctrl alt delete to get out of it. The green writing that appears is very similar to when I use special funtions on my logitech cordless keyboard, not sure if the 2 are related. Any idea what could be causing the crash?

  • MSI Mega Sky Aerial

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows if the MSI Mega Sky Aerial is weather proof.....
    please reply.

    Yes, i have coverage. I wrote, that with default aerial i have around 65/15 signal. I am few km (maybe 5km) from broadcaster (i found thiw word in dictionary, hope is ok) and i can see it (no obstacles in way).
    As i wrote, if i use default antenna, i have bad signal, so sometimes i have drop-outs and "colored squares".
    If i use any other antenna, signal is worst than bad, can't tune anything.
    Of course i tryed moving with aerial, every place when aerial can stand.. I am trying this around 3 months!
    I asked in some local forum, if anyone tested dvbt here. They answered to me something like this: yes, works perfectly.
    But noone have MegaSky 580 (some internal pci cards, pcmcia cards, some usb keys from pinnacle or hauppage or technisat or other), but few of them using same aerials, that i bought (smaller passive Technisat or bigger Technisat with ampfilier)!
    So, from my eyes looks like MegaSky 580 is "not very successful product".
    If you have any hint what other i can do, so say it. But i think i tryed anything.
    And i'm not saying about horrible software called PrestoPVR - "Blue screen of death" is every day when i trying to use it..
    I have one more thing. I found, that is two different models of MegaSky 580 (different producer or technology, different drivers, different sign).
    First is "DTV USB MINI" and second is "PC-DTV Receiver". I have "DTV USB MINI".
    If you don't trust me, look here (driver download): http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6
    Maybe is "DTV USB MINI" model crap and MSI started to produce new version with differend technology..
    Anyway, my MegaSky 580 is really unusable.
    (p.s. sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native english speaker)

  • MSI Mega 865 DVDRW Drive

    Hello. Can you please tell me which DVD writer I need to buy for my MSI Mega 865. I want to add a DVD writer behind the panel and my third party Sony doesnt open the front panel. Do the MSI drives work OK. Thanks.

    Hi williac10,
    Though you are right in asking for a better alternate optical drive here but I think it'll be better if you ask the Mega PCs users in our Mega PCs, SFF PCs Forum .

    4- i tryd the camtasia movie converter to make a movie to play on the MSI PLAYER put i only saw a BLACK SCREEN flashing and closed again !! why ? 
    and thats the MOVIE PROPERTIES :
    Video Codec:   MJPG_MainConcept Video V3.2.4

    i wish u can help me... i just want an easy way to PLAY VIDEOS on my player 536...
    thnx...
    waiting replyz... 
     

    5536 and 5540 can playback avi and .mov video files, but these files codec must be M-JPEG format!!
    Please attention: 5536 didn’t playback MP4 or WMV video formats, and also couldn’t reveal these files!!
    “Quick Time7 Pro” and ““Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” converting software can support 5536/5540 video format (M-JPEG) to playback, but “QuickTime7 Pro” isn’t free, you have to purchase it, and “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” is free, but only can use 30 days. Please go to below website to download it and you have to register and login!!
    (http://www.canopus.com/products/demos/index.php)
    When you download “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25”, please modify file name to “ProCoderDemo_1_25.exe”, then this file just can become execution file, after installation you have to check video and audio codec, have a little trouble, I will explain how do set M-JPEG codec!!
    When you perform “Canopus ProCoder” software, you will find out “Source”, “Target” and “Convert” selection, please go to “Source” and add which video you want to convert, next please go to “Target” and choose “Add” selection, then choose “QuickTime file” in the basic, after that, you will detect “Target Parameters” on the right, please according to below codec format to set, finally, please go to “Convert” selection to begin converting!!
    Video setting:
    Width: 320
    Height: 240
    Frame Rate(fps): 10.000
    Interlacing: Non-Interlaced
    Aspect Ratio: Video: [4:3], Pixel: [1:1]
    Encoder: Apple Photo JPEG or Apple Motion JPEG A
    Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
    Audio setting:
    Channels: Stereo
    Sample Rate(kHz): 11.025
    Bits / Sample: 16
    Encoder: 16-bit Big Endian
    Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
    By the way, You can select another sample rate parameter on the audio setting, but you can only choose 10.000 frame rate (fps) on the video setting, this value will influence whether can playback after converting video, so this setting is very importantly!!
    Please try again!!

  • How to install BDA-drivers correctly to MSI Mega Sky 580 dvb-receiver

    Hi,
    I tried to use MSI Mega sky 580 dvb-receiver with DVBViewer program. It should work because both have bda-driver support. But DVBViewer says "No hardware found". I think the problem is that the bda-drivers of the MSI stick are not installed correctly. I have downloaded the newest drivers and installed them. I read in a forum that the bda-drivers must be installed separatelly in device manager. I tried but it didn't work. I have Windows XP pro, AMD athlon XP 2600+ and Asus A7N8X-E motherboard. Presto-player works well.

    I’m not sure what do you mean.
    The product I have is this: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/multimedia/mut/pro_mut_detail.php?UID=615
    And the drivers I used can be found here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6
    Actually I’m not sure which driver is the right one. Please ask if any relevant information is missing.

  • MSI Mega 180 problems

    Hello all, i'm quite stuck on something and need some help.
    I have recently purchased an MSI Mega 180 deluxe and installed an pioneer a07 dvd writer in there, for some reason it won't let me burn cd's in audio cd format from wav files, which i need for my music studio.
    Also i constructed an external case to put an internet pioneer a03 dvd writer and did the same process and believe it or not i was able to burn a audio cd, so not sure what the problem is, could the msi mega 180 dislike my newer model of pioneer, or is the pioneer on it's way out, which i find strange as it's newer and quite new.
    I use nero to burn most of my cd's or dvd's which had no problem with when the dvd writer was on another desktop, it seems to get up to 26% and just freezes there, which the buffer level not moving at all.
    Hope someone can help, thanks

    Sounds like all of your drivers are not up to date....
    Here's what M$ has to say about it (shamelessly copied and pasted from another different website/board post).
    Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.
    Interpreting the Message
    This Stop message has four parameters:
    Memory referenced.
    IRQL at time of reference.
    Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
    Address that referenced memory.
    Resolving the Problem
    For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.
    Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
    For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.  
    Update Drivers
    Updated and comaptiable drivers are very important when running XP. Check your hardware with the HCL http://www.microsoft.com/hcl  If you hardware is not on the list it does not mean it won't work it just means it hasn't been tested by Microsoft and they won't Guarantee it to be compatible. If it not on the list check the manufacturer's website fo an up to date XP driver, if they don't have one you may be out of luck. This goes for motherboards and the bios too.

  • MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio won't connect on USB! Brand new from a box !!!

    hello,
    i'm having trouble connecting MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio, on usb port on my computer.
    I've tried to connect it on USB 2.0 port on laptop and desktop computer, with MS Windows XP SP2 installed, nothing happens. When I start player it works like a charm, i can listen to radio stations, record radio station, and record voice, but when i try to connect it to USB via cable from a box nothing happens.
    I've tried to downgrade it to firmware version from cd, with a standard procedure, hold play button, start download software, connect via usb cable, and the player is not detected by computer.
    PLEASE if there is a way you can help post your reply as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    Hi gagac
    Try uninstalling the current driver on your computer and download the following driver.
    http://rapidshare.de/files/20262928/MS5533.zip.html
    This driver is a backup copy that I uploaded on rapidshare from my Original CD Rom that came with my player & I know that it works with firmware v1.00.06. 
    What I find is unusual is that you got firmware v1.00.06 on your player straight out of the box as it usually comes with v1.00.01 or v1.00.02. 
    If the above driver doesn't work, and since that you have Windows XP, you may want to try upgrading to firmware v2.00.02. NOTE: You will need to also download driver v1.672 from the MSI Website as this is the only driver that works with v2.00.02.   
    CARE: You may want to read the below topic first before upgrading to v2.00.02 as there have been some issues concerning driver v1.672 & v2.00.02.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=96066.0
    Good Luck.
