Problems with my msi 845pe max2 bfir

right 2 problems first which is quiet annoying,
one of the reasons i bought the bfir model over the others was because of the bluetooth now i go to set it up install programs etc and shut down pc get bluetooth card go to put it in and..... um where does it conect to i look in the manual and it says use usb lead to connect it to blue usb bort on motherboard or somethink along thouse lines fine i think i will just get the lead and um ??? where is the lead read the supplied installation booklet and cable is optional !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how the f*** can msi say that the board comes with bluetooth when u cant use it unless u have the cable that is just silly, where am i sposed to gget the cable from ???? please help.
on to second problem
overclocking
now my cpu is a p4 2.4b 533 and my ram is some OCZ PC 3500 512mb now i set the fsb to 166x18 and that gives me 2987mhz fine u say, and i set the memory to 333 but the memmory is seriously lagging its running at 165mhz but on a friends abit motherboard cant remember the model number with the same settings im running the memory fsb is well over 250fsb, ive been told this is cos my memory isnt running in async and on the abit board to sort this they have a feature called hardware strapping why doesnt the msi board run the same they are bothe the same chipsets, would the latest bios cure this ????
if so why didnt msi just do it that way in the first place ???????
MaLicE
please help me answer my questions

yes i have the blue extra box but to actually connect the bluetooth card to the motherboard but if you were to look at yours the way u connect the blutooth card to the motherboard requires a cable which has the same connectors on as the extra usb ports you get i need a cable with 1 of them connectors on each end cos the bluetooth card plugs in to 1 of the spare usb slots on the motherboard.
as for overclocking i want the best out of my system i dont want to settle for standard the option msi have left out is a big option and i need to know why or if it is there where is it and if not is it in the new bios ???

Msi 845PE max2 bluetooth problem

i have a msi 845PE max2 BFIR, intel 2,4/533 , 512 DDR 2700 and im running w2k pro.
on the other system i also have w2k pro running.
my problem i have bought an extra msi bluetooth usb key so i could connect wireless to my p4 system.
after installing the software (ver:1.2.2.15) i can do : receive business cards,make a serial port connection do file transfers.
the problem that i have is making a network access connection.
when i try it i get a dail-in screen, i enter admin + password , the bluetooth is then telling me
"bezig met het registreren van deze computer in het netwerk"
(busy with registration of this computer in the network)
after a couple of seconds there is an error.
(busy with checking of the networkprotocolconnection)
"TCP/IP heeft fout 718 gerapporteerd : er is een time-out opgetreden van de verbinding tijdens het wachten op een geldig antwoord van de externe computer"
(TCP/IP has reported error 718 : there has been a time-out for the connection during the waiting on a approved answer of the external computer)
does anybody know how i can fix this ?
thanks in forward

Hi,
You're using the "Network access" service of the desktop box I guess? That gives you access to the Bluetooth LAN adapter being installed with the Widcomm software. If you want to make some connections out you have to configure Internet connection sharing on the desktop box as well - and ofcourse make sure that the two devices are correctly paired with sufficient permissions in the security config. I have been running about the same setup on a slightly older 845E Max2-BLR MB using XP with virtually zero issues...

MSI 845PE Max2 (MS-6580 v2.0) Help Please!

OK... I'm confused ?(
Well... I got the MSI 845PE Max2 - L (MS-6580 v2.0) on
order. Now I'm reading that alot of peeps having so
many problems with it! 8o
I just read a reply from Assaf saying that the board was SUED?
First off, what does this mean?
Should I return this board when it arrives or keep it?
Also, Im a little unclear of the difference between the
845PE Max2 (MS-6704) & the 845PE Max2 (MS-6580 v2.0)
Why are there 2 Different models that both say 845PE Max2?
NOTE:
I plan on using my Crucial DDR 333 (2 x 256MB) & a PIV 2.40 (533MHz FSB).
My other Specs are below.....
Any help will be appreciated.
I rather not even open the box if this board has MAJOR problems.[/color]

Uhmm i think you are mixing boards
There is no such board (at least not yet) as a 845pe-max2 version 2.0 there is a 845pe-max version 2. There is some difference between the max and the max2 board. The max version only has room for two dimms, no bluetooth/raid and gigabit support. So you are talking about two completely different boards but with very similar names I'm not a motherboard expert but i have tried the max2 version (6704) and i wasn't completely satisfied, cpu temp is way off, bios upgrade caused wierd problems, when using my adaptec 2940uw controller raid bios disappers. I think this is a result of the companies releasing their products to soon, as far as i can tell (and i have been reading a bit ) all 845pe based motherboards have their problems. When you ask what to buy everyone is saying asus p4pe, i for one think that asus is overpriced and i really don't wanna waste money on a serial ata solution which has no future. Their onboard audio isn't suported by freebsd. I have not decided quite yet, i was actually rather satisfied with my msi 845pe max2, it has a lot of nice features and i like msi liveupdate, the board runs perfectly with other os's than windows, but i will see some response from msi regarding those problems there is,
and currently i'm awating to see if msi will release a bios that perhaps will fix those problems i (and alot others) had with this board.

WinXP and MSI 845PE MAX2

Got the following problem.
I've just purchased an MSI 845PE MAX2 (MS-6704) with a PIV 2,4ghz 533 processor and 512mb DDR PC2700.
Onboard USB/FIREWIRE/LAN and ATA133raid are enabled. My graphics card is a Matrox G400 which is using IRQ10.
I have 3 HDD's installed together with 1 DVD-ROM and 1 3,5" diskdrive.
I have WinXP proffesional installed without any servicepack.
When I boot my system, everythings goes fine. I see the XP bootscreen and so. After the bootscreen, the pc normally goes to the sign-in screen. Well not for me.
After the bootscreen my monitor goes black, not standby just black and the system doesn't do anything.
Booting in save mode is no problem.
I have also disabled all the onboard stuff and booted the system with only my graphicscard in it. There is no IRQ that is used twice.
Can somebody help me?
thx

Yeah, strange isn't?!
I've installed the RAID drivers during installation (HIT F6 if you want to install a third party driver)
Finished installation, restarted the pc and it gave this problem.
So for short:
Builded a new pc.
Everything worked.
Installed WinXP on a new HDD (80gb WD)
Made 1 partition of 8gb NTFS, the rest is unallocated.
Installed WinXP without any service packs
XP installed the drivers for:
USB/FIREWIRE/LAN/RAID/SOUND and also for some PCIcards: SCSIcard without bios, SB Live.
I had also a Pinnacle TVcard placed in the system but XP doesn't have any drivers included for it.
After finishing installation, rebooted.
XP wouldn't start.
Removed all pci cards.
same problem
disabled USB/FIREWIRE/LAN/SOUND
still the same problem.
Maybe a driver problem of a pci card which I removed but still is 'installed' in XP?

MSI 845PE MAX2 FSB 800???

I've got the MSI 845pe max2, and have been trying to find out if it's possible to get FSB 800 of this board like the MSI 845PE MAX3?

Problems with a MSI K8N

So yeah I just bought alot of computer parts including this motherboard. I have my computer area downstairs in my house but I have a spare monitor in my room. After I finished installing everything I pluged the case into the wall and hooked it up. I proceeded to turn the power on and noticed the "NEO PLATNIUM" on the screen I figured everything was working so I turned the power off not thinking it would mess the bios up and took it downstairs and pluged it in again with my real monitor and computer set up. I tried to power it on again and it shut off in like 5-10 seconds I proceeded doing this about 4 times everytime it shut off so I took it back up stairs to see if something became unplugged. From then on I couldnt even get it to turn back on. My case showed a green light but when I pushed power It didnt work. I tried clearing the cmos with no success. I'm hoping somehow you guys will know what to do.
Thanks for you time.

Hey man, I feel your pain, and I feel obligated to post this because of the way everybody else is treating the problem.
Let me point this out to everybody:
This guy knows what he's doing, he isn't doing anything stupid. This IS a problem with this MSI board. How do I know? Because my computer setup is doing the exact same thing. I've been through 2 boards and 3 CPU's now. My setup worked fine for 2 weeks, then one day it just stopped working. It turns on for 5 seconds, then just turns itself off. It does not post. D-Bracket claims it is a bad or badly seated CPU. It lies. I just put in a brand new working CPU today, and i'm getting the same issue. It IS the motherboard. Now I just have to get it fixed from MSI somehow. I feel comforted knowing i'm not the only one with this problem. I just replied to some other guys post about having this issue.
I just posted my issue on another motherboard, but I will post it here as well for you all to read so that you know this issue is more widespread than it may seem.
Boy, what a ride this has been so far.
Let me briefly explain the issue. Got a the motherboard and a XP64 3200+ from newegg.com, etc. Plug it all together - nothing. I've built plenty of systems, and i've built several using thet MSI K8N board, also. I discover that the RAM is bad and the motherboard is also bad. Repeat as necessary several times.
Long story short, I'm on CPU #3 and Mobo #2, soon to be #3.
The 1st CPU was returned because a friend was working on the system and pulled the heatsink off and the CPU stuck to the bottom of the heatsink and some of the pins got bent/broke. (This is due to the poor design of the heatsink holder on the MSI board. There is WAY too much surface area between the heatsink and the CPU for the heatsink to be enclosed how it is on this board.. trying to pull them apart like that is just impossible. It can't be done. It has to be at an angle. . Only way).
Now, after we got the motherboard RMA'd and bought a new CPU, everything worked fine and dandy.
Two weeks later, one day the system just won't boot. There is no video signal at all. The problem is that when the system turns on, it runs for about 7 seconds.. all the fans turn on, etc. and then it just turns itself off.
I've tried different power supplies, i've tried only with the CPU, Mobo, and RAM, and hell, i've even tried it without the RAM. I've tried it out of the case, to check for shorts. Nothing. I've checked the power switch to be sure it isn't being stuck on, it's not. There is no reason, whatsoever for the computer to do this. The Diagnosis LED Lights show all 4 red which means badly seated or damaged CPU. Ok. So I RMA the CPU. I just get it back today, and we're on the 3rd CPU now. Plugged it all together.. brand new CPU. The old one obviously didn't work or else they wouldn't have RMA'd this one to us. They should have tested this one first too, I think.
SAME PROBLEM.
The computer turns on, lights fans etc. come on, and 7 seconds later the computer shuts down. There are no BIOS beep codes, no video signals, NOTHING.
This really only leaves me with one conclusion - the motherboard is bad. There are only 2 choices, CPU or Motherboard, and the CPU is brand new.. and the problem was the same with the last one ... common denomonator is the motherboard. Now its been so long waiting for the RMA on the CPU and everything ... plus the 2 weeks that this motherboard worked, that newegg probably won't take back the motherboard. My only real options is to send it to MSI for repair or something.
This is a very sad day. The only thing I can think would have happened is that the motherboard had some kind of voltage issue to the CPU.. maybe some kind of electric jolt that damaged the CPU socket and the CPU itself so that now nothing works. I'm most afraid that the motherboard is damaging the CPU's.. and that this new one we just put in could be damaged from the motherboard also.
These things are expensive... I can't afford for all this to keep going. I've easily spent $150 - $200 doing RMA's for all this ****. It's just ****ing rediculous. I should win an award for most computer problems.
Before I start freaking out about this even more, let me get to the point of this post.
Has anybody else experienced something like this? Specifically with this board? With something else? What the hell can I do about this, or is my only option the motherboard.. as far as I can tell.. it can't be anything else.

MSI 845PE Max2 RAM Problems

I have some problems with putting in the 2nd RAM stick.
I m running on a
P4 2,4 GHz
1x 256MB DDR333 RAM pc2700 (from nanya or whatever)
BIOS 1.2 AMI
When i put the 2nd RAM stick in, (also 1x256 MB DDR 333 RAM pc2700 but from Twinmos) it boots up but shuts down in 3 seconds, and sometimes it just boots up but the screen stays undetected.
I have tried a Dane-Elec (256 MB DDR 333 RAM pc2700) and the problem kept occuring.
I have tried several slot combinations and the Twinmos ram stick doesnt work ny itself (?...so didnt the Dane Elec stick)
What could be my problem?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Ron

If you have a module that won't work by itself, I would (suspect) a bad module. May not be seated all the way?
Another thing with this board.....Slot one supports two banks and slots two and three share two banks.

Problem with my MSI P35 Neo MotherBoard [Cannot find harddrive]

Hi guys.
So, I've been trying to install Archlinux for a while now, and I've been trying to figure out what problem Is by myself, and I've been asking a bunch of people, but it seems that it's going to a dead end.
What we figured out, and what we "think" it is, is that the controller on my motherboard does not support the system, and my SATA disk that I am trying to install on.
What i have tried is that.. I've followed the "beginners guide" to install arch linux, and when i noticed that i got a big problem with my harddrive i asked some people for help, tough we cannot figure out what the problem is..
Firstly i boot up with my ArchLinux CD.. Then i write km, to change the keyboard layout. Then /arch/setup ofcourse . After that when i try to partitionate and set mountpoints for filsystem it does not show any kind of hardware at all. So i tried to partitionate with gparted and then boot up with Archlinux again to install all my packages etc etc. But it seems like it does not write the information to anything.
This is a big problem for me cause i really want my Arch distribution to work, so please guys.. Help me!
EDIT
Just in case you wanted to know.. My motherboard is a MSI P35 Neo

Problems with my msi ge70 2Pe-042BE

Hello guys, i have some problems with my 1 year old msi laptop
Problem 1: First of all the ventilator ( i think it's the ventilator) makes a constant buzzing/zooming sound. It is not that noticeable but this is not the biggest problem.
Problem 2 : The biggest problem i have is that my google chrome keeps freezing. I tried to search it to google how to fix it but not any tutorial worked out for me . I have got this problem for around 2-3 months ( before everything was working out). Mozilla firefox + internet explorer works fine for me but i hate these internet browsers by heart.
PRoblem 3 : if i look to my estimated usage of wifi it seems like i am using alot of mb althought i am not downloading,utorrent is not open , my skype is not open so i don't understand what is going on .
Problem 4 : since some days my internet is randomly disconnecting for 2 seconds while my brother has no problems ( yes he sometimes has ping spikes just like me at the same time but he does not disconnect) ( our chambers are next to eachother). I tried to search it on google but again almost no results ( some people said to update drivers or something , i am not the best in laptops/computers so i don't know what to do)
Thanks for reading and i hope someone can help me . ( also is there a way to 'boost' your perfomances from your msi because it seems like it doesn't have the best perfomances for the price i paid and i don't have alot of programs/movies installed. Neither do i have a virus
Sorry for my bad English

Just a guess of mine and could be a shot in the dark.
There could be numerous suspects but I found this web. Good luck!

for the wifi issue, try to disable the power saving feature of your wifi card. Go device manager and click on the card. find the power management tab.

Problem with 8800GT + MSI G31TM-P21

For a while now, I've been using an 8800GT + MSI G31TM-P21 as a secondary gaming system. This has been working admirably for a few months. Lately though, I've moved the board to a new case+PSU, have changed out the RAM and added a new hard drive. Now, I'm starting to have problems. The system will boot with the 8800GT + WinXP, but is sluggish and crashes (usually a crash to desktop instead of a complete lockup) within 5 minutes of launching a 3d game. The 8800GT works fine in another system - it stood up fine to an extended gaming session on a different P35 board. I loaded Win8 just for testing purposes, and the display driver crashed just doing desktop operations. I also ran Memtest86+ for about 12 hours on the RAM with no failures. The head scratcher is that an even more ancient Radeon X1800 GTO seems to work fine with the MSI board. System config is below:
MSI G31TM-P21 (not sure about BIOS rev)
Intel Pentium Dual-core E5500 @ 2.8GHz
2x2GB Kingston Value RAM 800MHz DDR2 (dual channel)
LG DVD+RW
2x7200RPM drives and one 5000+ RPM "Green" drive
Windows XP SP3 32-bit
Arrow "500w MAX" PSU
A bit more about the PSU - it's a cheap, older model with a 20-pin power connector. As I understand it (and I could be wrong) the extra 4 pins just power the PCIe video card, which are unnecessary since the video card has a power cable all its own. This setup worked fine in my old case, with an even older PSU. I guess my next step would be to resurrect my old 300w PSU and see if it works properly, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas before I tear my case apart. BTW, there is no overclocking going on anywhere in this setup...
UPDATE: Took a closer look at the old PSU, and it was an Allied/Apex 300 watt with (get this) 10 amps on the +12v rail. Nonetheless the 8800GT seemed to work fine on it. The "new" PSU has 17 amps on the +12v rail.

That $25 Arrow 500W with +12V~17A is a joke. Any decent 500W PSU should have at least +12V~30A. I wouldn't trust that thing any further that I could throw it and at my age that's not very far. Even a Corsair 3 year old VX450W that I have has +12V~33A. You need minimum of +12V~26A for system with that graphics card to begin with, see the chart here: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards. You're lucky that PSU you had before worked at all in your system.
Get a Corsair PSU, a CX430W V2 +12V~28A would do but better would be the CX500 V2 +12V~34A. Even more power would be needed if you intend to upgrade to later and greater more power hungry VGA card any time soon.. See the Corsairs here:

Having problems with my MSI 770 Card

Here is my specs: GTX 770 I believe it is the.. N770 TF 2GD5/OC
CPU: AMD FX-8350
PSU: 550 Watt Gold
SSD
I'm getting between 48-90 FPS on leagues... I have downloaded the NVidia Drivers.. and can not figure this problem out. Any help?

The specs are quite useless to be honest. Follow >>Posting Guide<< exactly.
And the problem with the FPS reported is? It doesn't look bad.

Problem with a MSI-6163 PRO

Anyone got an idea what kinda problem i have? I have an MSI 6163 PRO motherboard (with latest BIOS update 3.5), a PIII 700 Cuppermine, 3x256 SDRam, i run Win XP Pro, have a 40 gb harddrive and have been running like this for at least 9 months, without any problem. Suddenly it starts to reboot all the time and now i cant even start it not even in fail safe mode, it reboots before i get in.
Its not a Virus, i have virus checked the hardrive, i tryed with a smaller harddrive (6 gb and win 95) and that worked, i bought a new harddrivce (120 gb) Started to format and install Win XP pro and it starts to reboot again, i have tryed chagne memmorys, graphic adapter, net adapter, soundcard everything, i am going nuts! anyone had probs like this??
I would be more than greatfull if anyone has an answer to this.

Thanks a lot Wonkanoby for the help. It didnt help my error but it sure cleared it up. There were several capacitor that leaked, just as the pics on the site you sent http://www.overclockers.com/tips00140/, it shows clearly on thoose. Cant beleive how that problem can be so big and seems like they are doing nothing about it either.
Well thanks for a great Forum here, and thanks to you Wonkanoby.
The motherboard is dumped... thinking of going back to good old ASUS
Then its Rock´n Roll agian
Have a great day.

intel 3770k cpu
16gb ram 1866 Corsair
2x ssd 256 gb OCZ
MSI 290x gaming
win7 64bit ultimate.
When i came home with my card i removed my old 7970 and replaced it with my new card.
Put some programs up like gpu-z cpu-z realtemp ext.
Then run Unigine-valley Benchmark with OC tool MSI at 1040 option.
My cpu at 4.2ghz OC
Score Unigine valley v1.0: 61.1 fps-score2558-min fps 30.3/max fps 112.8
Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
Seems ok result.
Now to problem i have.
So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?
3dmark firestrike gave first time score of 9655 and after my disaster with cpu failed attemp 9200.
My card is stuck at 60fps max it won't get any higher?
The GPU-Z also show PCI-E 3.0 X16@ X1 1.1and when i activate render i see it only change to x16 1.1 i never see gen 3.0.
CPU-Z info motherboard also only pci-express link with x1 and x16
My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?
Also posible that something with the OC attemp CPU broke something?
I also try change from AUTO to GEN3 in bios but then i get a blackscreen when i boot up it stays backscreen, have to change it switch videocards so i can see my boot again and go into BIOS.
Im at a lost here, hope one of you know a solution or whats my problem?
Hope ive supply enough info im bit of a newbie at this sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

Problem with starting msi z77 Mpower

Hello
i 've just bought a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W
and a mobo msi z77 mpower(today)
i have this problem
i have tested the psu with 2 different mobo (the msi stated before and a asus p8z77 v pro) and in both cases the psu fan runs for few seconds and the it stops.i have tried it with and without cpu , with and without case fans , i have the same problem it turns the fans for few seconds and then it stops as if dose not have enough power.
tested the psu with the paper clip test and it works , but when i put the 24 pin connectors and the 8 pin connectors on the motherboard it dosen't. Maybe i do something wrong ?
I've speak with tech support from cooler master and it seems it's not the psu
honestly i don't know what eles to try /do
can you help me?
thank you in advance

To go a step farther, when the board is outside of the case, you should have a monitor connected to the onboard graphics or a discrete card, 1 stick of RAM in the primary DIMM slot, and CPU with it's cooler for initial startup. Be sure to test on a non conductive surface of unprinted plain cardboard or an untreated wood surface.
