MSI motherboard problems
« on: 17 November 2004, 06:34:44 am »
I just recently built a computer.
When I turn the computer on it stops at the MSI Platinum screen.
When I hit the reset button the computer reboots into windows. (Most of the times)
I am not over clocking.
I have loaded the defaults in the BIOS.
I have flashed the BIOS, updated all motherboard drivers, and video drivers.
I have run memtest 23 passes and no errors.
I have a thermaltake power supply 400 watts.
There are no beeps codes at post. The case didn't come with a speaker.
I have installed windows xp media center twice.
Could this just be an unresolved Bios issue or a bad board?
The computer runs great except for the startup problem.
Any suggestion would be helpful.
12 volt rail = 12.14
3.3 volt = 3.26
5 volt = 5
vcore 1.5 = 1.48 - 1.52
Temps:
cpu = 38 - 41c
case =21c
All the rails are within the limits.
CPU fan spinning at 3258
Here is a complete rundown of system specs

Try stripping down your system to bare minimum. Disconnect all CD drives, Floppy and HDD from your mainboard. Remove all un-needed cards. So you should have only the mainboard, CPU and RAM and a graphics card. Connect PSU to mainboard and power up. Now your PSU should be more than enough to power just that. Does it still lock???
If it does'nt then it something to do with one of the drives or optional cards you are fitting.
If it does still lock then it something to do with the main components.
I once saw a similar issue to this which maybe unrelated but thats why i asked you to disconnect drives. The issue i saw was down to the HDD not being detected on cold boot. Thus hanging the system, if you left it long enough it carried on and then failed to boot. But press the reset button and it would detect the HDD and load windows, until you switched the PC off again and the cycle would repeat. Now that was fixed by getting a BIOS update. This may not having anything to do with your issue but might be worth a look trying what i said above.

MOVED: MSI 975X PROBLEM WITH INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS VISTA

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101708.0

Beta 2 or RC1 candidate???? RC1 should support..........
Beta 2 is real, slow and you have alot of updates to DL, but both are pre-release products and will not work 100%.
Even when Vista is released, they will still be alot of hardware that will not work 100% and this is purely because software is always playing catch up to hardware.
It was only September, when Nvidia released some Beta2/RC1 drivers that worked properly........

MSI GX60 problem sata3 HDD

I have a problem with with the 500 GB hdd Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 HTS725050A7E630 in one of the slots in the laptop GX60 (slot DVD drive). The Russian Support Center could not help and advised to contact with support center - "for the objective diagnosis of faults." Do you have any information about such kind of problems with Laptop GX60 especially SATA 3? Or maybe, there is any solution to update the BIOS? This slot at the time of purchase worked WD5000BPVT sata 2.Also that slot been tested with SATA 3 ssd ADATA XPG SX900 128GB. And operates smoothly.
Hitachi 500GB Travelstar Z7K500 HTS725050A7E630 status -OK. And it works in the slot below the touchpad mode sata 3. But it is in that slot is reversed. What is extremely may affect its long performance.
Why in the slot under the DVD drive is a conflict with a 500GB hdd Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 HTS725050A7E630?

Hi ya,
Why did you feel you needed to change drive defaults?
Normally, hard drives are factory set to maximum compatibility. Sata I / II
You could also have defective cable........

Wireless Router MSI RG60SE - Problem With Firmware

Hi, I have firmware 3.5.3 on my router MSI RG60SE. I updated this firmware to other version from here:
h t t p://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG60SE/
Problem is, that I dont know, what kind of firmware is it. When I finish updatig firmware, I dont connet to admin mode, I dont see wifi network of router. Router is maybe broken.
I am affraid, that the firmware is some special kind of firmware. Because in one of .rar files, which are including of the firmware web (h t t p://faenl.msi.com/index.php?dir=Networking/RG60SE/firmware/), contain picture. On the picture is depicted print screen from admin mode of the router RG60SE and there is available option ENABLE BRIDGES. In old firmware this option I never seen. Here is a picture with these option:
h t t p://img268.imageshack.us/img268/8885/nlw.bmp
Please, advise me, what am I doing with it. Because, none of my devices cant connect. And I dont know connect to admin mode of router. Thanks

No idea why it blocks it.
Silly is that it does work upto the last trace.
Have you tried a ping with a larger byte size?
You do know that ping is working with extreme small blocks by default.
I just noticed Google refuses to accept large packets!
Have you tried other routes except Google?

MSI RG54GS2 - problem with print server

Hi,
I have router MSI RG54GS2. Everything works correctly. If I connect printer to USB on router then my router works only 10 hours and then it freezes. If printer is not connected, router works fine without freezing.
I tried to use new firmware, but it doesn't solve my problem.
What should I do, please?

So, I tried it. Router works correctly without freezing but only via cable :( . If I try to connect via WiFi to my NETWORK, then my notebook and PDA find SSID and that's all. Widows show formular that everithing is connected correctly, but internet and lan network doesn't work. If I disconnected PRITER from router, then noteebok and PDA could connect to internet and local network.
:( I have only trouble with this router :> .

Basically, cutting out Windows Update as a possible source for a new driver forced it to use the local MSI install files.
Anyone else care to give this a try?
Now I just need to sort out the new hardware serial number nonsense key thing!

TS3212 bonjour64.msi - Big problems - Can anyone help?

Hi everyone!
I have a huge problem with upgrading my iTunes to the new one. Have been struggling with this for months with still no joy have tried everything suggested , the latest being to install a trial of the WinRAR archiver which seemed sucessful until just near the end - the upgrade could take place as it could not delete the old version of Bonjour64.msi. From my searches I cannot find it exists so I cannot delete it!
PLease can someone out there advise me cos I'm getting close to throwing out my computer!!!
Thank you Judes x

the upgrade could take place as it could not delete the old version of Bonjour64.msi.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

MSI FX5600XT problems with agp 4x and other stuff

Well
I just bought myself a MSI FX5600XT-TD128
I had a Hercules (guillemot) GEFORCE2 PRO (clock higher than GTS and slower than Ultra).
I'm not sure if my previous videocard (the gf2pro) would run stable @ 4x or run @ 4x at all.. I know my motherboard is capable of agp 4x, the old videocard I am not sure it was..
WEll, I bought the msi, plugged in and no post.
so I take the card out, put it back in, posted... 5mins later, crash..
No post..
So I put the old videocard in (gf2pro) and disable agp4x in the bios, plug the msi back in and running so far stable...
My motherboard is an IWILL KK266 (via kt133a).. very nice motherboard running on a not-so-compatible-with-it athlon xp 1600+ (1.4ghz)
The mobo problems with the cpu (processor) are limited to having to press 'reset' switch to boot (or else pc will power up but no boot).
Well my question is, is the agp 4x problem related to this msi video card in general, or to a faulty video card I *might* have (so I can exchange this one) or is it related to the motherboard???
Also, can someone explain to me the diferences between FX5600, FX5600XT AND FX5600 ULTRA?
Also, explain to me please the 'V,T,D,R' models differences too?
And Last but not least, what is the best driver for the fx5600xt and winxp??
I'm running msi latest (53.03, I installed it just to test em), I had nvidia's 52.16 prior to that.
Thanks for all ur help

This can also be from a weak PSU, which would be even further taxed by adding the power hungry FX card.
Might need a stronger PSU.

Nasty MOTU MSI / Modulation problem - please help!!

OK, I've searched high and low for a solution to this, but no joy, so here goes...
For weeks now, I've had an issue with MOTU's Symphonic Instrument.
Parts recorded with it play back distorted if the active track in Logic's arrange window is not the one the plug-in is on.
The 'distortion' is in actual fact the MSI playing back as if the modwheel is full on. It sounds like a very fast square-wave gate. Whipping the wheel back and forth back to zero while the MSI track is active will temporarily cure the problem, but as soon as you change tracks, it's back. It doesn't make any difference whether the plug-in is configured in single-channel or multitimbral mode.
I've also had the same thing happen with Absynth, which suggests it might be more something to do with the way Logic handles CC#1 data from the Korg Kontrol 49. There are a number of reports about the buggy implementation of CC#1 on this controller, but they mainly concern it being used in Native Mode, which I don't use, as I need a working modwheel. Swapping the Korg out for a Roland PC300 keyboard controller had no effect in any case.
It may have been caused by CC#1 events lurking around in the MIDI parts... some of them were originally recorded with Garritan Personal Orchestra, which uses the modwheel as a volume control. However, I couldn't find any such events, and although I might have got nearer to figuring out what's causing the problem, I can't get it to stop doing it.
Inserting "CC#1 = 0" messages into the part's event list doesn't help.
Recording modwheel resets on the same track doesn't help.
Turning on the "Chase Controllers" preference doesn't help.
Using a different controller keyboard doesn't help.
Setting fire to the computer doesn't help.
I am unable to perform the 1.1.1 update for MSI, so that doesn't help. The plug-in crashes Logic's validation with a "Fatal Error." This results in it being greyed out in the AU Manager list, and I am therefore unable to enable it manually. I'm currently swapping emails with MOTU tech support about this.
If anyone can help resolve this while I still have some hair left to tear out, there's at least 3 pints of strong beer in it for them....
G5 2GHz, 8GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.5) Logic Pro 7.1.0, MSI 1.0.0, MOTU 828mkII, Korg Kontrol 49, bad headache...

I would say do figure out how to make the upgrade first and foremost. A lot was done in that upgrade, and one may have been to fix this bug.
As for cc data, have you checked the track automation for the track with MSI? I know it's an obvious question, but if there's ghost data it will show up there.

BFG 7800GS OC and MSI 6702E problem, no video signal after post

Okay this problem has me stumped and the techs at BFG are thinking there is a conflict problem with my mobo and this card.
Heres the case:
I got 1 - BFG 7800GS/OC and I installed it in my MSI 6702E (K8T Neo2 F/FIR). The system runs its POST fine and it gets to the OS selection screen. Right after that (where it should load windows) the screen goes black and the screen acts like its looking for a signal on its digital or analog feeds (a small window appears on my screen indicating signal on which port and for me its on the digital).
This is what I've tried so far:
1) I unistalled NVIDA drivers
2) Tried booting to safe mode
3) I bought an Antec SmartPower 2.0 PSU 500W (see http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=26500 for specs)
4) repeated steps 1 and 2 with new PSU
5) Updated to 9.3 BIOS
6) Confirmed VIA drivers version is latest (5.10a)
7) Got another BFG7800GS OC and repeated steps 1 and 2
8) Bought another PSU its a BFG 650W (see http://www.bfgtech.com/power_supply_650W.html for specs)
9) repeated steps 1 and 2 with 1st and 2nd 7800GS
I have tested the cards in another AGP system and the cards work perfectly. I've talked to the BFG tech support and they feel their could be a conflict with the mobo, but I'm at a loss to find any info on that in these foums.
Note that both PSUs have 12v rails that are rated combined >20 Amps
My system Specs:
Athalong 64 3200+
K8T Neo2 F/FIR
2 - 512 MB Kingston DDR 400
2 - 256 MB DDR 400
1 - Seagate 200GB HDD
1 - WD 80 GB HDD
1 - TDK DVD +/- RW
SB Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
PNY 6800 - soft modded to GT with extra Vertex Shader enbled

I can't boot into safe mode, normal mode, vga mode. The computer only POSTs and then gives me the OS selection, which I then choose and thats it.... black screen. No sound, no video then eventually my screen goes into power saving mode. I don't even get the windows logo screen.
My previous system worked great minus the declineing game performances. I'm simply replacing the softmodded PNY 6800 to this new BFG 7800 GS. I know the video card working is not the issue since I had it working perfectly in another PC. So no this is not a new build.
Yeah so the deal on those 2- 256 MB DDR 400 ram sticks is that there is no visable brand name. There is a sticker on it indicating its stats and a little logo of some company I don't recognize. The RAM sticks themselves have a silver colored heat spreader, but I don't think that has anything to do with the situation. The RAM in this computer is top notch and its been stable for over a year.
I'm really at a loss here on what the problem might be, but I have to imagine there is some issue going on with the AGP bus. I've tried messing with the BIOS settings and setting fast writes to off, AGP to 4x, aperature to 256 mb then back down to 32 mb. All those settings result in the same symptoms.
Man this is really perplexing since it seems others have this same board wih this card running fine. Since I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue.
