PVR capability using MSI mobos

I'm currently running an 875p fis2r with a 2.4c.
I'm interested in getting some pvr capability on this and was wondering how anyone out there was getting it done.
Someone using a tuner card with software encoding?
Someone using a capture card?
Basically, I'm looking for recommendations for cards, remotes, etc... Anyone with good experiences in this department?

How to use K7N2G mobo

After 9 days of patient troubleshooting I have compilied the comprehensive troubleshooting guide.
1. Check your power supply. We can't tell you what it you require, but what you have is not enough.
2. Buy MSI approved ram, this ups your chances of success to 50-50.
3. Trade in approved ram for anything else. Odds now better than 60-40.
4. Do not install OS with more than 1 of anything installed to system. By second machine & network to support additional drives.
5. Buy an ASUS mobo.
6. Use MSI mobo as door stop / wheel chock / patch for the hole punced in wall.
I think I'll submit this mobo and it's swiss army knife complete options cureall claims to the Museum of Medical Quackery.

There are WAY too many iffy parameters to consider with this mobo. Perhaps it's only the nforce chipset. I have been assembling for a few years without ever having trouble with ram quality, dual drives per ide channel (I only buy WD), or power requirements. As I move into selling systems, MSI mobo will not be in my configurations.
Thanks for your help Wonka. At least I learned about memtest86 from you and can use that in the future.

Problem with 6700 6.1 in counter strike source with msi mobo

hi,
i've just baught a 6700 6.1 set and they work fine in windows, dvds and the msi speaker set up test. but in counter strike sources speaker test and in game only the centre and sub work. i've changed the speaker settings in windows and source with no luck.
my msi mobo (k8n neo2) has 7.1 built in but only offers 2channel 4channel 5.1 or 7.1 options so i am using my speakers in 5.1 when i run the speaker set up test provided with my mobo the right speaker is highlighted and then plays a sound but in the source speeker test only the centre and sub actually make a sound when they are iluminated i have tryed all combinations off the msi set up and source set up and the problem does not change.
i was wondering what i could do or if this problem has been heard of before.
if i have missed any information out that u need 2 know just ask and il let u know
thanks a lot

If I dun remember wrongly, there's a switch at the woofer. Try changing that to direct mode.

My New MSI Mobo Will Not Speak Up!

I just replaced the motherboard in my computer with a new MSI P4M900M2-L motherboard (VIA Chipset). I did a "repair" install of Windows, re-activated it, and everything in the system is now working fine except...the integrated sound function on the mobo does not work. I've downloaded and successfully installed all recommended drivers from MSI website using "Live Update Online" feature. Also downloaded and ran MSI InfoView XP utility. All looks good on this utility except the SOUND tab which says "Sound Card Not Detected!". The Windows Device Manager shows an "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" but its properties sheet says "No Drivers are installed for this device". If you click on the "Update Driver..." button on the Properties "Driver" tab, nothing at all happens. All the Driver info on this tab shows either "Not Available" or "Unknown".
I connected the motherboard on a non-conducting surface outside the case. Same result; MSI InfoView utility reports "Sound Card Not Detected". I have also verified that the MB mounting holes line up correctly with the case mounting standoffs - no shorts.
On advice from MSI support, I RMA returned the board to the vendor and they sent me a new one - same model, P4M900M2. I installed the new one and...same problem! Everything else works perfectly. I went through the process again of updating drivers using MSI's Live Update Online. It scanned my system and said all drivers were up-to-date. I loaded the CD-ROM that came with the mobo and clicked on the RealTek Driver button, but nothing at all happened. I browsed the CD and in the "Sound" folder found two setups - one for VIA HD and one for RealTek. Tried running the RealTek setup; it went partway through and then said "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure!!". (Thanks for all the useful info!) Then tried the VIA HD setup. It ran a bit & then said "ERROR - We can't find HD audio device". So nothing worked.
It seems quite unlikely that I received two defective motherboards in a row, each with the exact same defect !!?? Seems like there must be some driver or setting or jumper or something that's preventing the sound function from being recognized. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Joy! My problem is solved. I received the following from MSI Technical Support (it took them two tries, unfortunately; first they concluded that the motherboard was bad and told me to RMA it, which I did; only to have exact same problem with 2nd board.) Anyway, this solution worked like a charm. The key, apparently, is deleting that Microsoft UAA HD Audio driver under System Devices.
Hope this info may help some other poor soul out there fighting the same problem.
Thanks to Bosskiller and Del UK for all the suggestions.
Here's what tech support sent:
Be sure the Microsoft HD UAA patch has been applied: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111/en-us ** The Microsoft HD UAA device drivers interfere with the Realtek drivers and prevent them from loading. The cure is to 1) Open the control panel and launch System 2) Click on the Hardware tab and then launch the Device manager. 3) Go to the bottom and click on System Devices 4) Look for Microsoft UAA HD Audio driver. 5) Right mouse click on it and first disable the driver, and then unload it. 6) Reboot the machine. 7) There should be no problem now with loading the HD audio drivers. Please check and be sure the bios setup has the on board audio setting been set to enable or Auto. Please have all on board audio header removed from any case front audio or other adapter connections and only connect the speaker/headset to the rear audio output port (green) and retest. Please test out the mb and components outside the case with mb box to support the board. This can prevent any short or grounding problem to the mb which can cause audio to stop working as well.

MSI mobo case badge

Just curious if anybody has ever received a case badge for an MSI mobo. I think some of the MSI video cards included MSI stickers in the past. Also, does anyone know if there's a way to request a sticker from MSI?
Last weekend I caved in and stuck all the various case badges I had onto the inside of my P180B front door. I didn't want the stickers to ruin the exterior style, but this way I can shut the door to hide em away. Sadly, my 975X didn't come with an MSI sticker though it's one of my favorite things in the build :D Oh well... tia for any suggestions.

Maybe we could get permission from MSI to use their logo.

MSI KT8 Neo2 F board, upgraded cpu and used MSIs Live Update, now unstable BSODs

I've had this mobo for almost 2 yrs now with an AMD 3500+ cpu and recently upgraded that to the FX-55. To do that, it required using MSIs Live Update and needed newer chipset drivers. It has the latest bios according to Live Update.
It took a few attempts but finally booted w/o BSODs and has been running for over 1 week BUT is still not right. It's sometimes unstable and will crash (BSOD) just by starting up a browser. I had the bios settings at "optimized" and have tryed a few other changes but so far, I'm not gaining. Last night I couldn't keep it running more than a few minutes w/o it crashing.
I have the MSI manual for my board and plan to spend some more time playing with it tonight but might anyone here have any ideas? It's not running hot (reads 50C) and was stable before with the 3500+. I've tryed "Fail Safe" bios settings too but nothing's better that way either.
I'm hoping that someone here has a few ideas?
Perhaps related?
After initially running this with the new cpu, I'd see the "searching for MAC address" message and it'd hang there on boot. Someone told me that was because it was trying to do a network boot, selected in the boot sequence SO I've unselected that and that's when things got worse (oddly as it shouldn't IMO). One can select the 3+ boot devices (floppy, USB, CD-DVD rom, HDD) and it use to see the HDDs (2) before but now I'm not (only floppy and CD-DVD rom) and if I unselect the ethernet option (boot other devices), it fails to boot at all and says "insert floppy" as if I was installing Win98 way back when (running XP Pro btw). Something's definately not right with my bios selections.

Let's go back to basics here for a bit. Start by posting your complete specs in your signature like we do. Make sure that your PSU values are also in there.
Let's also look at some tests to help determine where the issue is. I would recommend Memtest86+, OCCT, Prime95, and 3DMarks as a great first series. Also get CPUz and lets see what it shows for CPU and Memory.
If we can get an idea where things begin to fall apart then maybe we can determine if this is driver, hardware or some other issue without having to make the flash happen first. The reason why I am avoiding the flash at this point is that if things are mostly working maybe there is some other cause than Bios. We know that some FX's work with 3.x and some that don't. So I would like to try a bit of checking before we dive into a flash that could cause more issues than it solves if we get this wrong. As things are mostly working now we can assume at least for the moment that maybe the flash is not needed. If we don't see anything during testing that sheds some light then maybe we go ahead with the flash.
That is if your willing to take some time to try and sort this out and maybe learn some stuff in the process. It is of course your call and we will respect whichever decission you make here.

Thinking of an MSI Mobo

Hi,
I am considering an MSI mobo to replace the current one in my PC die to a few stability issues that have been narrowed down to a faulty board. My current system is:
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
Motherboard Asus M4A87TD/USB3
Memory Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Memory Kit CL9 1.65V
Graphics Card PowerColor HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
Monitor(s) Displays LG
Keyboard Microsoft Wireless 3000 V2.0
Mouse Microsoft Wireless 5000
PSU Antec TruePower New 750W Modular PSU
Case Antec 300
Hard Drives OCZ Vertex 3 SATA 3 SSD (OS and software) + Seagate ST3500418ASATA 500Gb (user profiles etc)
The 2 boards I am considering are MSI 990XA-GD55 or MSI MSI 990FXA-GD65. I appreciate the cost difference, but what would be best?
I use the USB 3 ports and while I don't currently use the PC for gaming, it was spec'd to allow me to use one of the motor racing games as a track learning tool.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am just wanting reliability and multi tasking performance. I had considered going down the Intel route but can't really justify the additional cost of a CPU when the one I have is more than adequate.
Thanks
Steve

I use the MSI 990FXA-GD65 myself, and it is a great board, gets my recommendation!

MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
Any ideas , someone?
Tekrar!

Thanks for all replies!
I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
"Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
"Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
"Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!
Tekrar!

MSI mobo?

Ok I got a compaq (changed every part except the mobo and cpu )
But on the mobo it say "Micro-Star MS-6541" isnt that a MSI mobo then??
And could I use a MSI bios on that?

MSI make boards for companies like Compaq referred to as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) boards. The companies that buy them may add additional components and they supply their own bios. You should go to the Compaq site and find a bios, or as Blazer said you will probably end up dealing with

Auto updates for VSTO addin not working that was installed using MSI

I am not a .NET guy so this might be naïve question.
We have developed an MS Excel VSTO add-in using Click-Once (VB .NET). Due to some business requirements, We packaged that add-in as MSI.
DEVENV excel-addin.sln /Project AddinSetUp\AddinSetUp.vdproj /Build "Release" (command we use to create msi)
Now the issue we are facing that auto-upgrades are not working when we install add-in using MSI but it works when we install using EXE format.
Are we missing something during build?
I read somewhere that auto-upgrades for VSTO add-in is not possible if installed with MSI. is it the case?

Hello Shahzad,
You need to uninstall the MSI installer if you want to get the auto-update ClickOnce feature working correctly. You can read more about MSI and ClickOnce installers in the following articles in MSDN:

CS2 install using msi

Anyone have any experience installing Adobe's Creative Suite2 using msi via
NAL and eDir? The solutions I have found are to use an xml file but then
the various componenets of CS2 need to be updated and registured. I have
considered using snappshot but thought an msi install would be best. But
adobe uses setup.exe in the install. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I ran the setup exe and ran through the install but when I searched the
drive for *.msi I couldn't find any. I know that there are mis's on the cds
(there are 4 of them plus dreamweaver and an update disc). Do I just use
the msi for each of the different programs from each different CD? Or do I
do an install to the network share and then create the app obj using the
different msi's?
Thank you for your help

May I use MSI FX5900XT with Adobe Premier 1.5 to capture analogic video?

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use MSI FX5900XT with Adobe Premier 1.5 capturing video ?
I am trying to use this software to capture video and I see that Premier does not recognize it. I can normally capture with Virtual VCR or VirtualDub.
Is there any plug in or driver to permit Premiere recognize the MSI FX5900XT ?
Regards,
Mario Rodrigues

In the Adobe site there is no mention about Nvidia Cards.
I think it is stranger because the capture with Nvidia Cards are becoming very common nowadays.
I would like to know if someone has tried to capture with Adobe Premier using MSI FX5900XT.

An OC Newbie Try to Break the World Record by Using MSI X99S XPOWER AC

Saw an article on MSI forum and thought it’s quite interested, so here I translate it. Don’t really have the time to translate it word by word, so go check here for the original article if you are interested (but you need to speak Chinese, lol…..).
link: forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113081.0
Long story short, a newbie got inspired by MSI MOA 2014
and started to dig in the OC world. After checking all the rules, he decided to try it on his own. Here’s the gear he used:
CPU: Intel i7-5960X 3.0G (8C16T)
RAM: HyperX Predator DDR4-3000 16GB Kit (4x4GB) CL15
MB: MSI X99S XPOWER AC
VGA: MSI GTX980 GAMING 4G x4
SSD: Plextor M6 Pro 256GB
Power: Cooler Master M2 1500W x2
CPU Cooler: SilverStone TD03
OS: Win 7 64bit SP1
MB
Easy button design and 3 sets of v-check point made it more user friendly for Ocer
Special extreme OC kit (contain with thumb drive, OC fan stand, Delid Die Guard and OC Backplate. Personally think it’s 4 handy tools especially for Ocer)
VGA
Here’s the pic. after assembling all the gear together
This newbie is using air cooling VGA & RAM + water cooling CPU to run 4 way SLI, below is the static under normal usage without OC.
3DMARK - FIRE STRIKE Extreme
3DMARK - FIRE STRIKE ULTRA
Then, he try to use OC Genie buttom push the CPU to Gear 2, CPU 3.7G, RAM 2400, below is the static under this circumstances.
3DMARK - FIRE STRIKE ULTRA
He did mention that overheating would be a major problem of 4 way SLI, water cooling should be a better solution instead of air cooling.
Anyways, after few times of trial, here comes the best combination he can get.
CPU
CPU Frequency: 4.6GHz
DRAM Frequency: 3,200MHz
VGA
GPU Frequency: 1,390MHz
DRAM Frequency: 1,803MHz
3DMARK - FIRE STRIKE Extreme
3DMARK - FIRE STRIKE ULTRA
He upload this onto the HWBOT and found that he ranks 29th place on Fire Strike Extreme and 6th place on Fire Strike Ultra. Looks good!
Link: hwbot.org/submission/2690492_ocbot_3dmark___fire_strike_extreme_4x_geforce_gtx_980_19149_marks
link: hwbot.org/submission/2690575_ocbot_3dmark___fire_strike_ultra_4x_geforce_gtx_980_11338_marks
To better show you the effect of using 4 VGA instead of 1, he used Assassin’s Creed Unity and did some comparison as below.
Single MSI GTX980 GAMING 4G: FPS will between 3X-4X, 50 at some points.
If using MSI GTX980 GAMING 4G * 4 without OC, FPS will between 50 – 70, same as what we heard, the improvement is not as much as we thought.
But when it’s under the loading process, it shows 7XX FPS
All in all, here’s his conclusion:
Under OC mode, MSI XPOWER AC’s stability does meet his expectation, and he’s satisfied with the extreme OC kit. “Memory Try It!” function in BIOS make it easier to adjust.
Oh well, it seems like it’s a good product to be expect!

Quote from: WSGRT on 23-January-15, 13:22:33
this newbie start with the most powerful rig!!! Btw, thanks for translation
Personally think it's quite impressive for a newbie to get such a great score.
And sure he choose a great product to start with!
