  • Help requested with 645 Ultra-C with a PCI ATA/133 card fitted

    I'm new here, so please bear with me if this plea for help is short of info :-
    I built my PC 5 years ago, using a 645 Ultra-C board ( MS-6547 2.00 ) and have had no problems since - till now.
    I recently installed a PCI ATA/133 card, mainly to be able to add 2 additional hard drives.  It installed ok and the 2 extra drives are recognised correctly on the card's primary channel as is a DVD device on the secondary channel. 
    However, on initial booting, the card is interrogated to determine what devices are connected to it and then there is a delay of up to 2 minutes ( it feels like forever ) while BootMagic is being searched for/loaded.
    It makes no difference if I swap the 2 drives and the dvd over or remove the dvd drive.
    The bios ( AMI 07.00T 12/20/01 )  is correctly setup to boot from floppy first, then HDD1 ( connected to the mainboard's primary channel) and 'try other boot devices' is disabled.
    I have no wish to boot from the extra drives, so is there any way of avoiding the boot system from looking there first ?   Is there any other bios settings to consider ?
    I'd be grateful for any hints/help.
    Thanks.

    Yes,
    Go into bios and set boot sequence
    Also go into pci controller bios, and set no boot
    It's usually CRTL+A or CRTL+M keys on keyboard............
    Controller cards will be main boot target, unless told
    I have got the boot sequence set correctly - but I can see no sign of a pci controller bios option.  Cntrl A  or Cntrl M  have no effect.  Maybe the 645 bios doesnt offer those options.
    I have never updated the bios - being of the 'if it aint broke dont change it' school of thought, so I may need to look at this area, now.
    I'll be posting a question here about live update very soon - basically 'is it the best way to update the bios ?'
    Thanks for your help so far

  • P4 533 with 645 ultra-c

    just got p4 2.4 533 also msi 645 ultra-c.  I read on the msi website that the mother board only supports up to 400 fsb.  So I rang the shop up and they said that they always supply that combination and it will be fine.  So my question is will it be fine and if not, what problems will I encounter.  As far as I can see its very fast but Ive been used to a Pentium 200 for 3 years so anything is fast compared to that.  Also Ive used Sisoft Sandra 2002 and that shows that it is a flying machine but it also says that I need to reduce my fsb.  So any suggestions,  should I upgrade my motherboard or downgraded to a p4 2.4 400.  Please help, Im getting worried ?(  

    645 Chipset is not officialy validated for 133MHz FSB only for 100MHz FSB. This is the main difference between 645 and 645DX chipset. At 133MHz PCI is 33MHz and AGP 66MHz. They are not overclocked. I use 645 Ultra with a P4 2,80GHz (133MHz FSB) for two months now with no problem at all. If PCI and AGP were overclocked almost all Hard disks and somae gfx cards should die after one week usage.

  • Help with 645 Ultra-C

    ok i decided to update my system so i got the 645 ultra-c with a P4 2.2.  i hooked everything up and its been working ok but i get the error stating (XXXXX) referenced memory at (XXXXXX) could not be read. now i get that error whenever i play games. i have the geforce 4 mx 420 and all the updated drivers for it. i never had any problems with it before so i dont think its the graphics card.  the only other new item i added to my system was a stick of ddr 256 pc 2100 ram that i got cheap of the net. so im thinking i got bad memory because ive flashed my bios updating everything and thats the only solution i have left. any ideas???
    thanks

    ok ran the test for about 2 hours had like 5000 errors so im assuming i got bad memory thanks for the help. tip for others dont buy cheap ram off the net lol.

  • Interesting Problems/Solutions with 645 Ultra V1.0

    Hi All, I just wanted to share some of my experiences with the older 6457 Ultra V1.0 MB.
    I've had one of these since last Sepetember, and I've been trying to get it stable ever since and only just succeded.  Oh, as a side note, everything is being clocked as it should be, no OC'ing here, I'm after stability. Okay, system spec:
    MSI 6457 Ultra V1.0 bios 1.3, 1.6,1.7, 1.8 but mostly and currently 1.9
    Intel P4 2.0Ghz 400 FSB Stock HS and fan
    1 X 256 333 DDR Ram (Generic 2.5 CAS)
    2X Maxtor hard disks 20 and 30 Gig ATA 100 (Primary master and slave)
    Liteon DVD CDRW dirve (secondary master)
    Netgear FA311 NIC
    Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum
    Creative Geforce 3 Ti200
    Chieftec 350W PSU v+3.3=28 v+5=30 (may be other way round, I'm at work right now and can't check)
    XP Pro
    Problems I've had :
    Nvidia drivers (Creative or Nvidia any version since September 2002) result in the system booting very slowly (3- 5 mins instead of 50 secs) and quite often just rebooting once the windows UI appears, just after log on. Kept getting the infamous "nv_disp.dll" error report from XP.
    The solution to this was to run the memory at 266 rather than the rated 333.
    A side effect of this problem was that sometimes (not always) the system would drop to 10% of its usual speed. Once this had happened there was no speeding it up again. Sandra clocks the MEM bandwidth when this happens at 220MB instead of the usual 2200MB. A symptom that this has happened is that when the XP logo first appears at boot up it fades in very slowly instead of it's usual snappy fade in.
    The solution to this was to jumper the CMOS clear and reset up the BIOS.
    Alternately you can format the system and rebuild it, but nothing else seems to return the system to full speed. Only a CMOS reset or a rebuild of the OS.
    These solutions are only tested on the current 1.9 Bios. I have no idea if they'll work on earlier or hacked versions.
    In order to find these solutions, it's taken a lot of blood sweat and tears, not to mention reading all 1600 posts about problems with Ultra's.
    I hope the solutions presented here can save someone else the frustration I've had just trying to get this thing stable enough to play games on.
    I must also add that these solutions may not work for you, I went through hundreds of Bios settings tweaks and fiddles trying to remedy these problems and none worked bar the ones mentioned.
    I suspect that the RAM in this system may be the cause of all the problems, but I am unable to get hold of any other 333 Ram to try.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get this to run its memory at 333 (which is what it physically is and should run at) without buying more RAM (been unemployed for six months and only have 2 weeks work now!) and be stable with Nvidia drivers, I'd be delighted to hear them. I'd also like to hear from others who've suffered similar problems, as I could do with the moral boost of knowing I'm not alone :-)
    As a side note, this setup does run very nicely with the Ram at 266 and Bios 1.9. It now seems very stable which is a breath of fresh air.
    Sorry for the long post, but it's alot of information to impart. Hopefully, it'll save someone else from tearing all their hair out.

    had sim prog fix them... :P
    what to do...
    bios v1.9 (update)
    [support new chips etc
    update agp drives (SiS AGP Drivers v7.2.0.1130 )
    [fix some usb /video card problems ]
    set agp apeture (in bios) to 128mb
    set ram (assuming 333ddr) 2.5 / normal / normal
    most generic ram (my is first modual is 2.5 -3-3)
    set irq settings to auto(non auto setting will cause random (equal to or less than blue screen of death)
    (move sound card (if not using on board disable games port and sound) to pci slot (3) [3rd from the bottom of moatherboard]
    - this provides no conflict with video card.
    -set irq for vga = on
    use xp pro
    user service pack 1
    run 3dmark2001se for 3 hours (should not crash)
    if you think it your ram download a ram tester software(free) (and put on on a floppy disk) this will test you ram.
    if useing a network card put it in slot 5 (fifth from the bottom)
    p.s. also check (in bios health ) power supply problems
    eg rails 3.3v should be no lower than 3.2xx
    5v should be no lower than 4.87x
    12v should no be lower than 11.70v
    because i had a bad power supply (3.3v was 3.02v and 12v wat 11.2v (from time to time hard disk drive would power on/off then on....)
    3.3v is for vide cards /pci slots /ram voltage etc..
    12v for hard disk drive/cdroms etc...
    5v for logic board on harddiskdrives etc...

  • No Sound with KT4 Ultra - FISR -- HELP!

    hey
    I got a KT4 Ultra - FISR along with and XP 2400 and other goodies for christmas. I put the machine together and installed 98se, and all of the included drivers the came on the MSI Utilities disk. Everything was working perfectly with it (got 11752 on 3dmark 2001, is that a decent score?) anyways everything was cool except the on-board c-media sound was not working at all.  ?(  I have 2 speakers w/ sub and i have them plugged into the line out spot in the mobo. I have turned the sound on in my BIOS and messed with all the sound settings in windows and still i get no sound at all. I even unplugged the bracket that came with it for surround because i saw it could possibly cause some problems. I then checked all my connections and still no sound.  X( I was woundering if there are any other settings or jumpers that i need to set for my sound to work. Any additional information on how to get my sound to work would be greately appreciated. My system specs are below. Thankz

  • Help with the MSI 645 Ultra!

     I've got a very frusturating problem. I just bought the MSI 645 ultra mobo to upgrade my system, along with a brand new P4 2.0 GHZ processor and 512 mb DDR ram to go onto the board. My problem is as follows: The computer is not booting up. No OS, no BIOS, no nothing. When I turn the power on and hit the switch, all the hardware in the case starts up and sounds fine... but the screen remains blank. All four lights on the little diagnostic tool/usb port thingy that came with the board stay red, which, according to the manual, indicates a problem with the processor.
    The processor is either bad (highly unlikely with it being an Intel chip) or for some reason its not working with the mobo. So, heres my question: Does an Intel P4 2.0 GHZ Northwood processor work with the MSI 645 Ultra?
    Under the list of supported speeds, 2.0 ghz is not listed ?( . Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

  • 645 Ultra not booting with new GeforceFX5200

    Thanks ahead of time for all the help.. I'm really just a newbie computer guy with a frustrating problem.  Before last week I was running my system with a Geforce2MX with no problems.  At one point I had to flash the motherboard because it didn't recognize my hard drives, but the video card was fine.  I bought Deus Ex Invisible war, and found out I had to update my video card.  So I purchased an Albatron Gigi GeforceFX5200E.  After removing my old video card and inserting the new one, my computer would not boot.  The power would turn on, but the Monitor does not.  The D-Bracket says it is hanging on "Initializing Video Interface", so I had my friend test out the video card, with the results being it works perfect.  So I am at my wits end... I have the new AGP drivers... the motherboard is updated... I know the card works.  I have read about messing with the voltage or somthing, but I don't know how or what to set things at. Please help!!!
    My specs:
    MSI 645 Ultra Motherboard (flashed to latest version)
    Celeron 2.4ghz processor
    512mb RAM
    CWT 350w Power Supply:
         3.3v - 20a
         5v - 35a
         12v - 15a
    Soundblaster Live! Value
    Memorex CDR/W drive
    56k Modem
    2 WD Hard Drives (80/30gigs)
    Fan Control Unit w/ 4 Fans
    I hope thats enough info.  I'm very close to just ditching the motherboard for somthing else, its been giving me so many problems.  Thanks again.....

    What would you all recommend for a new power supply?  What should I look for?  Somthing relatively inexpensive (starving musician here) that gets the job done would be great.  
    Also, I flashed the motherboard before buying the new troublesome videocard, because my motherboard wasn't recognizing my two WD hard drives I purchased, but it was working fine with these small older hard drives.   Weird stuff... other then that though the motherboard has been good... especially if this video card stuff is simply a power issue.  Thanks again guys.

  • Live BIOS Update method with a 645 Ultra-C board

    I have a 645 Ultra-C motherboard which has been running fine since installation some years ago.
    The bios has never been updated but I may now need to (see my other request for help here in respect of fitting a pci ata controller card) my questions about Live BIOS are :-
    Is Live BIOS the best way to update the bios on this board ?
    Is there any way of preserving the existing BIOS in case things go wrong ?
    Any help, advice, guidance would be much appreciated.

If both ATI cards are doing the same thing, there must be some kind of incompatability between XP and the 7500 AIW (no problems with ATI card and Win 98SE).
    ATI has washed their hands of any future responsibility, so I am apparently stuck with a $200 vid card that doesn't work with my system.
    Tell more about your system, bertz.

  • Higher Vcore? 645 ultra

    Is it possible for MSI to release a BIOS with a higher vcore? I have read on this forum that intel stated the northwoods can handle more than 1.7v. If so why hasnt MSI raised their Vcore from 1.6? I have seen a vast amount of posts from MSI customers asking for a higher Vcore. The only reasons I can think of are that the 645 Ultra cannot handle a higher voltage or MSI isnt getting our requests. To clarify which board I own it is the MSI 6547 Ver. 1 AKA MSI 645 Ultra 333. Thank you for reading and please reply if you have any feedback.

    Well you may be at the limit of your cpu, I personally wouldnt go higher than 1.75 volts ( which is really 1.7v because this board undervolts by .05v).  I also think that the chipset can't handle much past  150 mhz not too mention how out of spec the pci and agp bus is (if anyone has taken this chipset significantly higher I'd like to see it).  Also I had a Asus P3V4X (coppermine slot 1 mobo) and it was often suggested to put a heatsink on the clock generator chip (right by the ram slots, stick your finger on it and you'll see what I mean) to get higher fsb overclocking which indeed worked.  Now I havent tried it on this motherboard because I ripped it off said motherboard and put it on my Diamond MX300 sound card (Aureal chip) because it was sputtering at high fsb overclocking (which solved that problem as well).

  • Ms-645 ultra (MS-6547) CPU:RAM

    Hullo,
    I Just Finished building my new system. I am in the process of clocking it out. I used Fuzzy Logic 4 to find out at what speed my system crashes at. Fuzzy crashes any where between 139MHz & 143MHz system clock with CPU core voltage only slightly juiced to 1.5 volts.
    This is probably not a good program for the actual overclocking from what I've read, but does serve as a good burn in utility. So I've decided on a 133MHz system clock in bios. Don't want to get too greedy right now as I am using stock H/S and fan. Next did a 5X burn in with Sandra and couldn't crash my system 49c idle 62c load. I must say this is a very nice mobo, extremely stable.
    What I am having problems deciding on are my memory timings. This is my first MSI mother board and I'm not really familiar with the normal fast ultra and turbo settings.
    Initially I set at the normal selection with CPU - RAM ratio at highest setting of 4:5 and CPU-Z gives me these memory numbers 166MHz & 2.5-3-3-7-11.    
    Next I tried the ultra setting and the highest ratio of 1:1 any other ratio causes system to lock up. CPU-z gives me these memory numbers 133MHz 2.5-2-2-6-9
    It dosen't Appear that the Ultra timing mode offers any advantages over default memory timing settings. Are these words "Ultra" and "turbo" just marketing schemes meant to entice the common PC user, or are there some additional speed settings that go along with with the ultra and turbo modes that I am unaware of. Also after setting system clock to 133MHz My PCI & AGP are left untouched at 33MHz & 66MHz. I was expecting higher speeds. How are these independant? Where can I adjust these to clock along with the system clock. With those AGP & PCI numbers it behaves like a true 533MHz FSB system. I'm a little baffled with this new system. Any explainations would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not displeased, only a little puzzled. in fact i was counting on having to reduce the core & memory speed of my card just a little bit. to allow for a higher oc. Is this a 400/533 mobo manual says 400. Hmmm. I wonder what would happen if I put an 800 FSB cpu in here. bios system clock goes to 200. I happen to have one. this mat be interesting.  

  • 645 Ultra OR 645EMax?

    I have purchased and installed a motherboard from MSI.
    Unfortunately it has a problem - it intermittently will not pass beyond the 3rd stage of the LED warnings ( Memory Detection Test ).  I have changed the RAM and it is fine.
    I am confused as to its identity, since on the mother board it has various markings:
    645 Ultra
    MS- 645EMax  ( however the 645EMax is stuck onto the motherboard.
    N 1996
    D33008
    Bar code on right hand side says - 2620023509
    The BIOs rom has the following marks:  AMI BIOS - 686 - 1999 - BK26 - 4537
    It also has an orange MSI-DDR chip near the processor and a SiS 961 chip to the south ( PM01014 - 0214IA )
    CAN YOU TELL FROM THIS WHAT MY BOARD IS PLEASE.
    The only place I can find a reference to a problem with booting is in BIOS Ver. 1.5 of the 545Ultra - where there is a fix for "Fixed after resume from S3, power button cannot work."
    I have applied this but it still has problems.  Can you help please??

    Sounds like my board:
    ms-6547 v1.0... 645dx max c
    333 mhz DDR
    133 ATA
    I know from previous posts that there is alot of
    confusion about the difference between thr
    Ultra and MaxC...the MaxC is a souped-up
    ultra and has the same markings except the
    sticker that says Max.

    Following great advice from initial poster to this thread  , I've finally managed an overclock my 645 ULTRA, it's only taken me a year
    Full system virus scan, and clean out.
    Clean Boot,
    Re-Set Ram CPU ratio down to give 266Mhz.

    Al of which I was backing off, but rightn now seems to hold up
    I was able to wind the FSB up to 118Mhz, clocking me at a mear 2.85 Gig  (which for some reason is higher than 118*24)
    the good thing here, is when the system did crash at 120, the bias did not re-set! which was happening in the past.
    At 120 I got quite a lot of graphical artifacting, but my gcard was running hot since the air temp here is at about 25/26C with sumer approaching (don't help does it!)
    Anyway, I'll be ticking off a few more tweaks tonight.
    I did notice that this did NOT improve Aquamark, but added 1000 points to 3dMark2001, from taking it from 11500 to 12500. Benchmarks moving more from CPU/GPU to GPU only dependant. Codecreatures is a good bench also

  • 645 Ultra Memory Limitation?

    I've had the 645 Ultra board for about 3 years now and I've had no problems running with 756MB of memory, one 512MB double-sided module and one 256MB double-sided module.  I received another 512MB single-sided module for Christmas (from Crucial, using their selector) and I've been unable to use it in my system.  It either reboots spontaneoously or else I receiver an error that says "can't write data 0xXXXXXXXX to location 0xXXXXXXXX can't 'write' the location"  or else it says the same thing except it can't read instead of write.  The memory location changes each time.  I got another 512MB module that is double-sided but I still encounter the same problem but it seems more stable.  I've set the BIOS to manual 100MHz FSB with 3:4 Memory ratio at 266MHz.  I set CAS at 2.5T.  The AGP size is 128MB.  It seems that any amount of memory over 756MB does not work.  Anyone else have a similar problem?  I've read many of the forum issues but none seem like mine.

    Also if you have different memory manufactures mixed in the slots, that's even worse, and you may not get the system to boot even after relaxing the timings
    maybe lower speed 2100's and relaxd timing would be OK, but not much use with todays games
    Or set memory timings to safe in bios...
    So i bought another 512 3200XLPT stick and am selling the TwinX 2x256 LLPT's.
    Well, I'm at 1gig at present 2 x 512 PC3200 XLPT (little over kill but fast).
    With mem ratio set correctly and with my overclock this is running at about 380 Mhz (not the rated 400Mhz).
    So upshot is, you'll need to get better ram, get a mached pair, and if your not bothered abour raw memory speed get something mid range cas 2.5 say....
