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.

MOVED: Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

AFAIK, you shouldn't need a pinmod for a Mobile Athlon XP CPU to work in a nforce2 mobo
did you have any other CPU installed prior to this one? if so, refer here to clear the CMOS: Clear CMOS Guide
next, refer to your manual, or download from MSI, for location of the FSB jumpers; ensure J8 is shorted across pins 1-2, and J7 is shorted
finally, enter your BIOS setup menu, and under Advanced Chipset Features, set CPU FSB to 133mhz (or even 166mhz if you have DDR333 memory). the only thing i can't see in the Mega 180 manual is where you set the multiplier...
which is where the BIOS has limited overclocking features, and you might have a problem here
i think i'll pass this over to the Overclockers forum, where someone may be able to give a better answer....

MSI MegaPC 865 PRO Troubles...

Hello All from Oztralia!
I am having some troubles with a MSI MegaPC 865 PRO, that I'm setting up for our showroom. Essentially, what I assume to be the InstantOn Fancy LED stuff isn't happening. I press the A/V Button on the front, the MegaPC beeps once, the MEGA logo comes up, and then it beeps again. From there, nothing happens. The Volume bar on the LED panel scrolls from side to side, but that's it. Putting an Audio CD or DVD yeilds nothing either.
Other than that, the system seems to go like a train in PC mode.
It's Specs are:
Intel P4 3.0 GHz
1x Amicroe 512MB DDR 400Mhz RAM
The MSI TV Tuner Card (Philips Decoder(?), Conexant Chipset)
Onboard Video, Sound, Network, Modem, Etc.
If anyone can help us out with this Fancy LED thingo, I would be in your debt. Because, it kinda bites when something billed as being this fantastic thing doesn't work properly, customers kinda lose interest. Thanks in advance!

I followed the destructions straight from the MSI Software Guide. I installed the InstantOn software on a fresh 200 Gig SATA, then installed XP Home SP2.
As for installing MCE, I would, but my boss would like to see the MSI box working like it's meant to, as in the A/V button working and everything. I think I'll use MCE for the next one though.
Cheers fellas, for the replies that is.
MODIFICATION: Oh, and the TV card came with the MSI as an option. Surely it would work, otherwise why ship it as an option? Where can I find out if it's compatible?

MSI Mega 180 USB 2.0 Problems?!?

I have the MSI Mega 180, I have enabled USB 1.1+2.0 in the bios and also have installed Windows XP SP1. In device manager, I see 'enhanced PCI to USB host'.
With all that being said my External HD refuses to be recognized as a Hi Speed Device. On another machine, the same external HD works with no problems at 2.0 speeds.
Does anyone have any clues as to what I need to do to get USB 2.0 speeds? I get Hi-speed device plugged into non-hi speed hub?!?!
any help would be schweet.

I believe the "Enhanced" indicates the USB 2.0 because that's what I have on other boards with USB 2.0 as well. Prior to XP SP1 and on Windows 2k SP3? my boards didn't have the "Enhanced" addition. Also, as I don't think I mentioned, prior to playing with the bios I had problems with the USB->Serial adapter. If I removed the USB-to-serial adapter, the system booted fine and I would replug it. After playing with the bios, this is no longer a problem and I leave it connected. The stall happened when I had the adapter in front or rear USB ports, so not a speed issue (hey, it's serial) but more a recognition issue I believe (my mouse is fine, and as mentioned above an external HDD was found fine...). Try the bios settings I mentioned as well as checking each line of each subcategory and check that all is well. Let us know if that solves it.

Logitech USB30 Headphones and Logitech WebCam Pro 4000 vs MSI Mega 180 Deluxe

Hi!
I just found some problems related to the radio software/driver on my MSI Mega 180 Deluxe. I have installed all the latest software / drivers from MSI (including the bios) and i am using Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 installed.
The problem is that when i connect my Logitech USB30 headphones to this computer, and try starting the Radio application from MSI, i get an error mesasage saying there is no audio driver installed. And there is no sound at all. The USB headset is working 100% in all softwares like Windows Media Player and other sound applications (not related to MSI). I sent a support request to MSI, and they told me that this problem was related to my headphones. I did not accept that answere, because it does not make sense.. my headphones works perfect with any other computer and with any other software.
Then i connected my Logitech WebCam Pro 4000 to this computer (incl. the drivers) and the very same thing happened..The radio application told me there is no sound driver availible and the Listen Music application crashed by it self. The control panel now shows that there is no driver installed.. but when disconnecting the WebCam and reboot, the driver is ok again.. and the same thing happens when connecting the WebCam again.
Does anyone else got this problem, and did you solve it? How?

I don't have MSI radio installed, never have. However, does MSI Radio provide tuner capabilities? The ability to get radio stations? If so, then perhaps whatever is providing the tuner capability is maintaining an IRQ that conflicts with the USB Headset and WebCam?
That's just a hypothesis. Typically, when you have a IRQ conflict, you won't lose the driver in your Device Manager. However, since everything in the Megas are USB driven, then there's a possibility that you would.

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?

New MSI Mega 180: Some problems...

I've just bought a new MSI Mega 180... and I've come up with some problems:
I can't get the radio to be detected in windows... not sure why. When I load, radio webupdate, it comes up with: Cannot find radio module.
I can't get into the Wireless configuration monitor. If you select Gateway or AP mode, and then hit configure, it comes up with a pw prompt, and I can't find what to put in there... that's driving me nuts...
When I'm running windows, the front panel is compleatly black, should it be showing anything?

The clock should be on or if you installed PC Alert it would show the CPU temp. and stuff like that. I think media centre 3 shows something on the display (I can't get it installed)
Can't answer your other questions.

MSI Mega 180 Deluxe: "No Audio Device" problem

MSI PC 180
AMD Athlon XP 2600
2 x 256 Mb DDR 333 Kingston
MSI TV Card
1 HD Maxtor
1 LG DVDRW
Windows XP SP2
Norton Antivirus 2004
The computer workest fine until today: now there is no sound.
The device manager show
- NVIDIA NForce Audio Codec Interface
- NVIDIA Nforce MCP Audio Processing Unit
Correctly without yellow o red marks
However in Control Panel , Audio Devices appear: "No Audio Device"
When click in Nvidia Mixer say that there are no audio device
I upgrade to the latest Nvidia unified drivers with the same result
What happen? How i can have sound again?
Regards,

Thank to everybody for the answers
I have reset the clock and the problem continue
I have uninstall the newest drivers (downloaded from nvidia web) using Add/remove programs, and reinstall using original CD from MSI, and the problem continue
The problem is not temperature. The sound is disabled after hours of computer is off.
I unplug the power and the problem continue
Now i have the following audio drivers:
- Nvidia Audio Codec 6.14.348.2
- Nvidia MCP Audio Processing 6.14.348.2
The problem is: The Windows XP detect the integrated NVIDIA sound card and install the drivers but in Control Panel show: No AUDIO DEVICE. And the sound is off...
My conclusion is MSI PC 180 is very weak: the integrated components are very unstable.
I'm computer assembler and i discontinue to sell this MSI equipment.
I'm very annoyed with MSI quality.

MSI Mega 180 - Install of HomeTheatre software

I've finally got the MSI Mega 180 kit up and working here. However, when I go to install the Home Theatre it prompts me for a serial #. I've went through the entire box for this serial #; and have yet to find it. Any one know a way to get this serial #? The kit kind'a sux without it.

Thanks for your help.
Brent92663's suggestion about the memory got me thinking. I didn't have any other 100mhz memory (PC2100) so I kept my 133mhz (PC2700) memory in, but changed the settings in the BIOS so it operated at 100mhz, and it now works fine!
(If anybody wants to know how todo this, let me know).
Very strange....
I have yet to try it with the normal settigns, but it is something todo tomorrow!
Thanks a lot,
Nick.

MSI MEGA 180 - Installing WinXP Pro

I have been reading the various posts on the MSI MEGA 180 and it seems evehas had a lot of eperience with them!
I have bought one, and have tried installing Windows XP Pro on it, and this is where it all goes wrong.
I start the installatiuon process, go through the text-only bit, and get to the graphicy bit. Then, the process either just freezes, or comes up with the blue screen of death with a STOP error, usually IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I have tried the MS Knowedgebase KB314063 which suggests changing the power settings, but have had no luck with that.
Here is my spec:
-MSI MEGA 180
- W6796MS V3.3 121003 18.25.07
-AMD Athlon XP 1800+
- 1 x 512mb RAM PC2700
Many thanks in advance,
Nick.

MSI Mega 180 Suddenly died

Hi!
Last night I was using my MSI Mega 180 as normal, and shut it down after use, and got to bed.
The next day, the machine refused to boot. When I pressed the power-on-button the pc the fan went round once then stopped and it didnt boot.
The HIFI-mode and clock still works, but dosen't start the PC at all. I tried to connect a normal ATX power supply to the machine, and everything was working again (except hifi-mode of course)
Can anybody explain this ? Is the quality of the PSU THAT bad ?
I am VERY dissappointed. I guess i have no warranty, as I have reversed the CPU fans (and some other modifications, like removing the unused HDD-tray).
Where can I get a replacement PSU ? Is it worth it, or should I stay with my "external" ATX 350W (And much cooler and less noise than the orginal MSI MEGA 180 PSU)
The only downsides with the external PSU is :
1. I have no Linux webserver no more (Took the PSU from there)
2. No Hifi-mode or clock
3. Dosen't look as good as the original.

I think all mega 180 units comes with 2 years manufacturers guarantee...
even if it's over 2 years, i have seen someone in this forum said that the psu from msi is only 35 quids?
I think you should try resetting your bios by jumper to see if that works

TV-Out in MEGAPC-180

Hello,
I am writing you from Zaragoza (Spain). I've bought a MEGA PC Series (Model 180) trhee weeks ago.
I've installed WXP with SP1 and SP2 and all the utilities and drivers stored in your MEGAPC-CD. I have no problem with any driver: DDR-RAM, DVD, HD and processor (AMD 2800+), but I have missed days trying obtain signal from S-Video TV-Out's matherboard, and i have no image yet. (Nvidia's Software is installed too and I have no dubts with it, because I have experience with this drivers and software)
I've read the user's manual, and I've marked the TV-Out like PAL in the motherboard's configuration, but I have not image yet.
I didn't find anything about it in your webpage, and I bought your MEGAPC for connecting it to the TV, for using it like multimedia center. That's ver important for me, could you help me to activate the TV-Out's matherboard? where's the problem?
Thank you and I wait for your answer,
--Translation-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hola,
os escribo desde Zaragoza (España). Compré hace 3 semanas un MEGA PC Series (Model 180). He instalado el modo PC, con WXP+SP1 y SP2 y todas las utilidades y controladores disponibles en vuestro MEGAPC-CD. No he tenido ningún problema con ningún controlador: Memoria DDR, Disco Duro ni procesador, pero llevo unos cuantos días intentando obtener señal de imagen desde la salida de S-Video de la Placa Base, y todavía no tengo imagen (El software de Nvidia también está instalado, y no tengo dudas con él, pues tengo experiencia con este software y estos controladores).
He leido el manual de usuario, y marqué la salida de TV como tipo PAL en la configuración de la placa Base, pero todavía no tengo imagen.
No he encontardo nada sobre esto en vuestra página Web, y compre el MEGAPC para conectarlo a la TV y usarlo como centro multimedia en el salón.
Esto es muy importante para mi, ¿podríais ayudarme a activar la salida de TV de la placa base? ¿donde está el problema?
Gracias y espero vuestra respuesta.

Hi!!
For Spain, you have to select PAL B/G. There're some resolutions allowed; since 640x480 upto 1024x768. I usually choose 800x600 and, for games, 1024x768.
Consider what Stu said; does your TV accept s-video input?
Are you connecting it to the right connector or scart? Does your TV work fine with any other PC TV-out?
In addition, can you see anything at the boot sequence? (MSI logo, POST messages, Windows logo etc.)
If you cannot see anything during the booting up, maybe your TV doesn't accept s-video, or the cable isn't good enough, or your motherboard is not properly configured (you must only select PAL B/G, any other settings are unrelated with TV-out), or ) your tv-out is faulty (improbable, IMHO)
Let us know the answer to these questions.
Good luck and regards!!

MEGAPC 180 and regular PAL RGB TV

Hi, I was wondering if I can make the desktop in winXP readable on an ordinary RGB TV? Yet no monitor is installed, just a RGB TV. It is connected via the SVHS TV-Out connector to a SCART and at least all colours are shown, but it wont let me go lower than a 800x600 resolution.
I am aware this is not a typical megapc180 issue, but I am sure other people are interested in this too so they won't need a monitor.
My goal is to make at least the desktop readable so I can properly read the contents of MSI's MegaCenter III on my TVscreen. I do not use the megapc for games, for me it is especially for recording and viewing dvd's (divx, etc.).

Hi,
800x600 is generally the highest resolution that can be used for TV out.
A TV set doesn't have enough horizontal resolution for more than about 800 pixels across, and even then under best conditions. The vertical resoultion depends on the TV standard, and is around 600 lines for PAL and 500 for NTSC.
If you find you can't read icon labels, etc. at 800x600, try increasing the font sizes - If using Windoze, right click on the desktop, select Properties -> Appearance and either look in the Schemes list and select one of the Large schemes, or work through the Item list, and increase font sizes where you can.
Incidentally, "RGB" implies separate connections of the Red, Green and Blue signals from the PC to the TV - which is fairly rare. A computer monitor has an RGB connection, but a TV usually doesn't. You are using "SVHS", aka "S-Video", or more technically "Y/C" to connect to your TV. This involves two signals, a "Y", or luminance, or black-and-white signal (roughly 33% Red + 50% Green + 17% Blue), and the "C" or Chrominance (Colour) signal, which is actually made up of two components, R-Y and B-Y. The TV has to separate the C signal back to the R-Y and B-Y, then matrix them with the Y signal to get back to the R, G and B signals. There will inevitably be some losses and errors in the encoding, decoding process; also the badwidth (relates to resolution) of the R-Y and B-Y signals needs to be limited before encoding, so you tend to lose fine colour detail. Still, at least it's not as bad as Composite video, where the Y and C components are combined into one signal, which have to be separated by the TV set back into Y and C before further processing. And it's even worse if your TV doesn't have an A/V input, and you have to use a VCR to modulate it onto a TV channel (RF Out), which must then be demodulated by the TV back to composite video before further processing! (I've left out discussion of synchronising pulses for simplicity).
Just a bit of background information for you, the test is on Thursday
Cheers
