Problem with Mega PC 651

Hi to all.
First of all I'm sorry for my English. I don't speak it very well cause I'm Italian.
I've purchased a MSI Mega PC 651 and I want to install my P4 2.8Ghz Northwood. The PC start correctly, but the bios post screen show that this processor is a P4 1.86Ghz and the multiplier is set to 14x. If I try to change it to 21x after I'm exiting from bios saving the settings, the multiplier is always 14x! Why!?
Microsoft windows XP SP2 and CPUz shows the correctly 2.8Ghz, but now I'm not sure that I'm using the full performances of 2.8Ghz or not...
Another question. I've downloaded the MSI Media Center Deluxe III but during the install it request a serial number. Where I can find/request it?
Thanks for all and sorry again for my English.
Angelo

  • Problems with Mega PC 651

    Hi!!
    I recently bought a MSI Mega PC 651 and equipped it with
    CPU: Intel P IV 2.8 GHZ
    RAM: 512 MB Kingston DDR 400
    HD: 120 GB Maxtor 6Y120P0
    DVD-RW: LG DVDRW 4040B
    TV-Card: TV@nywhere Master especially for Mega PC
    BIOS v1.1, radio firmware v66 (after flash newest available)
    I have several problems:
    1. When I press the eject button on the Mega PC the DVD-RW (LG DVDRW 4040B) ejects, but when I press it again, it won’t close – it immediately ejects.
    2. At the first start after booting in windows the TV-Software (msipvs v2.0.34.198) crashes to desktop without a error code when I press the time shift button. After a second start it works without crashing…
    3. I updatet bios to v1.1 and radio firmware to v66 (the newest ones). When flashing the radio firmware I was prompted to enter a new welcome message with 7 characters. I only was able to enter 3 characters which ended up with a unwanted welcome message. When starting the flash utility a second time I wasn’t prompted to enter a message. Is there a little utility or another possibility to re-enter a welcome message?
    Has anybody similar problems??
    Please help me!!

    After flashing the radio receiver's firmware to latest I also stumbled into same problem. Now when I turn it on it says only "W     -" instead of "Welcome".
    I'm trying as hard as possible to fix this problem, but Radio WebUpdate won't let me flash the firmware anymore because it has already been flashed to latest.
    Now I'm downloading the latest radio receiver program and am hoping that I also get this Greeting program which can be used to change the normal greeting text!
    Last version of radio receiver program didn't have Greeting program so if anyone of you guys have it I'd be more then happy to receive it!
    You can send it directly to: [email protected]
    It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Now I think I might even find a solution to the problem.

  • Problem with Mega Stick 1 Menus

    I am facing a strange problem with Mega Stick 1.
    I press the 'Jog Dial'  menu button to access the menus. I do see all the sub menus but when I press the jog Dial again to go into the sub menu my Mega Stick takes me back to the mail menu. So basically I cannot go into any sub menu.  
    I upgraded the firmware of Mega Stick and the sub menus worked only once after the upgradation and after that the sub menues stopped working again.
    Anyone has any clue what is wrong and how can I fix it???/

    Come on guys please help me ... I am in trouble

  • Cd rom boot problems with MEGA 180

    I recently recieved my MEGA 180 and have been unable to successfully install an OS because when I boot from CD, the computer freezes at various stages of installation. The point at which it freezes varies between the point at which the CD is initialized to anywhere in the windows xp setup process up untill the drive format. Occassionally the lockup coincides with an error copying a file, but this is not consistent. I have tried two different cd-rom drives as well as three different xp installation cds. Further I have run with 5 different sticks of ram (kingston and corsair). None of these changes have had any obvious effect.
    Having read the warning labes regarding non MSI optical devices, I am tempted to think that may be the problem as I am not running on an MSI drive. However, the warning souned like it was about mechanical parts and thus I assume the ability of a drive to fit in the MEGA 180 case while opening and closing correctly.
    I would appreciate any input you might have on this matter as I am finding this experience rather frustrating.

    I had the exact same problem when upgrading from a 2100+ Palamino processor to a 2800+ Thoroghbred one. The screen had already dissappeared due to powering up with no monitor plugged in, so I tried a reinstall of Windows XP. It kept falling over randomly during the install process. I then swapper the CPU back and had no problems at all. I have since lapped the heatsink and reduced the FSB to 157MHz in the BIOS, and have not had a problem with the 2800+ CPU. I have not tried installing windows again, but feel this will be OK too.
    My test is to run FujiFilm Snapshot Slideshow, which sends the CPU temp rocketting. I have found that when it goes above 70 C it starts getting unstable. I throttled the FSB back to 157MHz and it does not get to 70 C any more. In normal operation it never gets above 60 C, so I don't know why the slideshow takes so much CPU power  

  • Problem with Mega View 561

    I've just got a Mega View 561, but I had a problem with it.
    Now it don't start anymore.
    In the manual I read that there should be a restore CD-ROM in the package supplied with the Mega View, but i didn't find it.
    I also didn't find a mail address able to connect directly the support in MSI, also in the Internet site.
    Could someone help me in some way?
    Thanks a lot

  • Problems with Mega 865 Pro

    Hi,
     I have a problem with the product Mega PC 865 For. Not risco to install the radio, when the asset tells me no mesa partition found '. what must I do?. Thanks.
     Fabio63

    Hi !!
    To be on the safe side i changed my ram to one piece of corsair ram 512Mb and tested it. Everything works fine.
    Managed to install Win 2003 server last night once... It ran for about 30 mins then the machine hang. It didn't restart.
    When i try to install both xp or 2003 the machine reboots at the same place every single time. Installing devices. When it
    switches from 35 to 34 mins it reboots.
    Are there any newer bios than the one i have ver 1.0 !!?? I haven't found it anywhere. I have tested all peripherals inside
    the machine in other comps and they work fine.
    The thing i have noticed is that it runs very hot !! 58 degrees Celsius just idling in bios !! BTW when the machine is idling
    either on a boot floppy in dos or in bios it runs for hours. My conclusion is either the machine overheats in install mode or
    some device in the machine (mobo) is faulty. But that seems far fetched too due to one succesful install of win 2003 server.
    I use the heatsink that came with the 865 Pro what heatsink do you guys use !!??

  • Which is the best graphics card i can buy that is compatible with Mega PC 651?

    I have had my Mega PC for 2 and half years, I had a MSI FX 5600, but unfortunately blew it 18 months ago by flashing the BIOS, I would now like to buy a new card but am unsure as to which one's are compatible with my motherboard, could anyone please help me with this, the graphics card will be used for gaming...SiS M650 i think this is my motherboard...

    Quote
    I was advised to upgrade graphics card. Will the 6600GT work for me too? Or are there any new cards in the market? I'm mainly using my pc to watch football over the internet or watching some you-tube clips which become hazy/blurred when expanded to full screen view.
    Sorry, but in your case, a new graphics card won't make a blind bit of difference here. The clips become hazy/blurred (or blocky) because they are low resolution video files, which will naturally look awful when blown up to your full-screen resolution.

  • Driver Installation problems with mega 180

    Can anyone help me out?
    I am re-installing a Mega180 that I built 6 months ago, unfortunately, the original driver disk is damaged and I have downloaded the drivers from the MSI website.
    for some reason both the PCI modem and wireless network card are now not recognised at all by windows XP. the wireless network drivers that I downloaded do not work either.
    how can I reinstall these drivers and where can I get an original install disk from as my retailer says that they cannot get me one?
    thx
    Jon

    How to contact MSI. they should be able to send you a new CD if you ask nicely
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=546&kind=4
    did you download the wireless driver from here?
    are you actually using the modem if you use the wireless network feature? if not you may as well just disable it in BIOS and save some system resources

  • Problems With MSI Mega PC 651

    Hi everyone!
    I have a problem with a barebone MSI Mega 651 rev 1 (MS 6251).
    It works as a computer system only and don't work as hi-fi system.
    I wrote a message about this problem to mr Kuchinsky (He is a moderator of Russian MSI site) and he told me to read
    this topics - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=74625.0
    As he said to me I had read this topic and as I understood, the problem is in a damaged firmware aka "bluebird"
    but I'd found only the way to restore this function on Mega 180 or Mega 865, but I didn't found a link to a firmware for 651 series..
    Can anybody help me?
    Best regards!!!
    P.S.
    Sorry about my english )
       

    Thanx a lot
    I found bluebird )))

  • MEGA PC 651 BOOTING/BIOS/HEATSINK PROBLEM

    From this thread topic it seems really general but heres the deal...
    I was recording some music with it and video editing the other night and the monitor went blank but the PC was still on.I rebooted and the PC started beeping with one long continuous beep.
    From what i've found looking on here it seems to mean the RAM is faulty but i have managed to reboot for a while before experiencing the same problem which i'm guessing wouldnt be possible without any RAM
    I opened up the case to inspect and noticed the heatsink clamps are broken which obviously isn't good because it means the CPU isn't being cooled as well as it could be but i have managed to sit the heatsink on the CPU with the thermal compound keeping it in place.I have emailed MSI to get some spare clamps but i'm not sure this will solve the problem.
    As i have said tho i have managed to reboot the machine and work on it and then it shuts off again
    The HDD light stays on when everything is powered up.Sometimes i get the continuous beep, sometimes i don't and sometimes it boots up like nothing is wrong.
    Is it because the CPU is getting too hot? Or is it something else like the BIOS, the CPU or the mainboard itself?
    Also...some segments are missing from the LCD display causing characters to not display properly - do i need to get a new LCD screen or can i rectify it with software or something?
    Please help me
    Thanks

    I found someone had posted about getting spare clamps on here and they were successful in getting some from MSI
    I just copied and pasted the email this user had sent to MSI to get them and they sent me some
    The machine has been working again but is a really troublesome system
    I still have trouble with the MEGA PC 651 - even getting it to boot even tho i had installed a new HDD and installed a fresh copy of XP
    It's just problem after problem

  • SPDIF Problem on MEGA 651

    Hi Guys, I'm having a problem with the SPDIF output on my Mega 651.
    It's going into a Philips LX700 5.1 Amp.
    I have used this successfully with a number of other SPDIF products (Shutle SN45G, Soundblaster Card)
    With the MRGA 651 you loose the first 1 second or do of the sound. i.e. when you adjust the volume in XP with the volume slider on the taskbar you normally hear a beep. I can't hear anything. When you play a mp3 or video etc it cuts the first second or so off and then plays fine.
    It's like it's not syncing or something. When you swap the feed from the Mega to the Shuttle, it's fine......
    Have updated to the laters drivers from MSI...
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    If it is straight out of the box then run your processor up and get it warm. The standard thermal paste (pre on heatsink stuff) is more of a wax and it melts, warming up a processor can help taking the heatsink off in some cases, as long as you have undone the screws and clips

  • MSI MEGA PC 651 - LCD SCREEN PROBLEM

    Hi to anyone reading this!!!
    My MEGA PC 651 has now started to show a malfunction on the LCD screen.  Only parts of the LCD is showing and the back light flickers.  I am desperate to fix the machine as everything else works fine apart from the screen!  I've had the machine a while now and really don't want to have to get a new system for the sake of the LCD screen malfunctioning on an otherwise perfectly working system!
    Also, I am happy with everything it does and it is perfect for my needs!
    I've contacted MSI directly, although understandably, they no longer have parts for this machine - (
    Can anyone tell me where I could get a replacement screen/board from or if just the screen can be replaced.  I've had a look and can see the lcd screen fixed to the board and isn't removable - well, it is, but you would have to know what you're doing?!?!?
    IF ANYONE CAN HELP, I WILL BE MOST GREATFUL!!!
