SiS 648 Max and Memory, still having pb

OK, I still can't use 3x512Mo of Corsair DDR 400 Mhz! I've tried all kind of settings in the bios, all kind os speed of ratio, it's always the same, it works perfectly with only one memory chip !
So my question is: what memory should I use to be sure that 2 or 3 chips will be OK ?
What if I use 3 x 512 Mo of SEC K4H560838C-TCB3 PC2700 DDR Ram ? They say it has been tested ... am I guarantee that will work normally ??
Did some of you have 1 Go or 1.5 Go of DDR something with this mother board, without any problem for configuration ??
Please, tell me !!
Thanks

By the way, I didn't try to change the settings in the bios (speed, voltage, ...) because I'm not really familiar with that, and because I assumed that if it works fine with one, it should work fine with 2 or 3 ...
What kind of bios setting would you guys suggest ??
I've found that with this board, if you change the memory you may have to change the BIOS settings. Try setting the Timings to Normal. After that, try manually setting the CAS# Latency. Try it at 2 and 2.5. At each CAS# setting, also try changing the MA Select setting. The easiest way is to get memtest86 and run it after changing each setting. If you change a setting and it won't post, reset the cmos. If you get it working, then try setting the timings faster.
Edited:BTW I guess I should ask. On your first post, when you say it wont boot. Can you still get into the BIOS?

9700 Pro / SIS 648 MAX /Games Issues

Hi Everybody!
Everything seem to be find with my PC, but everytime I play a game, I'm sent back to the desktop eventuelly. I have a fresh Install PC with XP SP1, latest driver from ATI (Catalyst version 3.0) directx 9 install, BY the way my mobo is a SIS 648 MAX from MSI with the lastest AGP and IDE Drivers installed (for this motherboard of course) and I have the latest version of the bios. here the description of my Machine.
Intel 2.4 P4 533 northwood
1024 gig of DDR 333
Ati 9700 pro AGP 8X
SB Audigy
120 Gig HD Seagate
With Windows XP SP1 Installed
Any suggestion!??? all my game do this

Try stepping down (underclocking) your RAM tp run @ 266.. There is a huge issue that hasnt been addressed by MSI or ATI at this point. Its a latency issue.
It could be solved by ATI with a new driver that decreases the AGP latency or MSI could update a BIOS that could be flashed that allowed to reduce AGP slot latency manually.
Let me know if it helps you!

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

My ipod jumps from one screen / app to another on it's own. Sometimes I can't unlock or even shut off. I've tried the reset, I've tried back up, even tried restoring to factory settings and is still having problem. Any ideas of what I can do.

When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

SIS 648 max w/ATI AIW 9800 pro issue

Hey all... I am trying to install a new Ati AIW 9800 pro in to my PC. The Motherboard is a MSI 648 Max-L....... Every time I install the old or new Driver set for the Ati card it kills my network connection I cannot connect to the internet or other PC in my network... I cant even ping my router. I have to restore my PC back to the time before the install and all is fine even with the card still in the PC with no drivers loaded. Hers the kicker I can install just the ati display drivers an all is fine but as soon as I install the Multimedia drivers I lose all network connection and have to do a restore to get it back. Even if I delete the drivers and reboot the PC my network connection is gone, have to do a restore to get it back.
Any ideas on this issue????

Here is a copy of my Conflicts and sharing...... it doesent list the multimedia devices that ATI installed as a IRQ conflict. Tehe Multimedia drivers get installed in the sound/video and game controllers..... the sound still works fine.... Hope this may give you some idea of the problem

SiS 648 MAX problem!

Hello!
I have a very annoying problem with my MSI 648 MAX board.
The computer freezes and reboots when i put in another DIMM in it.
I have two identical TwinMos 256mb PC3200 DDR modules.
They both work fine when they arent used together.
When i put in the other one, the sympthoms i described above happen.
I have formatted c: and tryed with both WinXP and Win2000.
I'm using the latest SiS AGP & IDE drivers.
Nothing in the system is overclocked.
I have upgraded with the latest bios.
Other system speccs:
P4 2.0 (400mhz).
ASUS GF4 Ti4200.
80gb Seagate.
350W "Noname" Powersupply.
Is this a known problem and will I just have to face the fact that this won't work? :(

It's a JNC Power Supply 350W.
The amps are:
+3.3V = 24A
+5V = 35A
+12V = 12A
-12V = 0.8A
-5V = 0.5A
It has worked fine with this board before and with another board (Abit th7 II raid).
The problem itself is getting worse, windows freezes with just 1 memory-stick now :(
Formatted once again and tried WinXP and Win2k without any success..
The Memory / GFX works fine in another computer.

Help for SIS 648 MAX-L Startup Problem

I just bought an MSI-648MAX-L, a 2.4GHz cpu and a Jaton GeForce4 TI4200 card. Installed all of the above + PC2700 512 MB RAM and a WD 80GB hard drive, floppy and CD. Turn on the power and my screen flickers all four of the diagnostic leds light up green and then nothing. I hear the hard drive spinning and the CPU fan and video card fan but nothing else. Tried one other AGP video card and a PCI video card but nothing on the screen. Seems like the BIOS is not loading. So I turn the computer off and set the BIOS reset jumper. Turn it back on again and still nothing. Checked all the connections, the seating of the CPU and tried again, still nothing. Any idea what might be wrong?? I hope I don't have to buy another MotherBoard and also I hate the idea of removing my CPU once installed. ;(
Thanks for your help..
Kumar.

What kind of video card is it?
If it's a radeon 9700 pro, look in one of the other threads on this site to figure out what revision you have, rev 1.1 or 1.2 9700 pros will not work on some 648 max boards ( well for me it was 648 max L im not sure about the 648 max but im assuming it has the same problem.
What happens with radeon is since the mobo sets the agp automatically, and there is the 8x bug the system doesnt boot. But the card will work fine on machines that have 4x, In this case RMA the card to radeon and make sure to specifiy that you get a 1.3 rev.
Otherwise you stated you have tried other processors and memory that were "known" to be good.
DDR 400 or DDR 333 memory?

MSI 648 MAX + 3Gb Memory

Hi,
I have put three GB of RAM in a PC containing a MSI 648 Max motherboard.
The memory is 3 * PC2100 1GB of Samsung 266 DDR RAM. I've ran memtest
(http://www.memtest86.com) to test the chips to test the chips individually
and in blocks of two. The machine runs fine with up to 2GB, but fails
when all three are in.
I have two identical machines (and two sets of 3GB RAM), which exhibit the
same problem, memtest failing at the same time.
The machines run P4 2.4Ghz processors.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance
Ewan

Hello
Goto the following link and see if this can give you some insight. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and it will give you configurations for that board. Good luck

648 max and HT

alrighty guys, im building my own computer and decided to go with 648-max because my friend has one with radeon9700 pro and 0 problems, so i thoguht id follow his line. anyways, im going to get a P4 3.06 ghz processor with hyper-threading (HT) enabled on it. now i see on MSI's mainboard page there is 2 diff 648-max's, basically one with HT support and one without. now my question is, is the HT support on that board just part of a BIOS upgrade or part of the hardware? i found 648-max's for like 80$ at places liek newegg but i cant find 0 places that specifically state it enables HT in the specs. is this new 648-max, the one with HT, replacing the older? or is it a completely separate board? if it is a different board, could someone please link me to a site selling one, i would like to check it out, thanks you much

I have just purchased a 845PE Max with Hyper-Threading ready written all over it. It even has the label stating " Intel 845PE Hyper-Threading Technology" Well guess what? Even though my CPU (P4 2.4Ghz B), and my motherboard 845PE MAX both support Hyper-Threading you still need the BIOS that supports the Hyper-Threading. The BIOS does not come with the option to enable Hyper-Threading.The board comes with the latest BIOS update. I have written to MSI requesting the correct BIOS. I guess it's the luck of the draw? Good luck with your board!

MSI 648 Max and ipods? Prob's connecting.

Please can anyone help?
I have a MSI 648 Max board with on-board usb2 and have problems connecting to my 4G 20Gb iPod. I'm pretty sure it’s the USB connection that is the problem. Has anyone else had this? Can anyone suggest anything to help? This is my last port of call before I’ll have to folk out for a Firewire card which I really don’t want to do.
Thanks.

Thanks for replying .
I have used USB for a number of devices (Printed/Mouse/DigiCam) and have never had any noticeable problems. I’ve tried the disconnecting thing and it didn’t seem to have any effect.
I thought it might be something to do with iPod’s not liking on-board USB and decided to post a topic here to see if anyone else has had a similar problem. Doesn’t seem to be much talk of iPod’s though. I wondered if MSI knew of any problems.
I have been around a few iPod forums but not many people seem to be using on-board USB.
Keep the suggestions coming though. Thanks.

SIS 648 MAX Sound

I have a 648 MAX motherboard with onboard sound. I also have an S-Bracket fitted and use this to connect to a TEAC PowerMax 950 Digital 5.1 sound system using digital coax.
I am using the latest version of the AC97 sound driver under windows XP Pro. (5.10.0.5320)
When pressing the test button on the sound system, all 6 speakers are heard and work OK. When I use the AC97 Sound Effect Manager from within control panel, this fails to test anything other than the front left and front right speakers.
Any ideas please?

Do you have any real problems when it comes to gaming, watching DVDs/VCDs or listening to MP3s and CDs?
If you are not encountering problems with the daily usage, then you can don't bother about the 2nd party software for the testings.
I personnally don't use any programs to tests my Altec XA3051 5.1 DDS speakers as long as they work normally with all the correct programs and apps.
You can also try updating your WinXP to SP1.

[SIS Series] SIS 648 Max-L MS-6585 mobo probs. please help.

I have been having tons of issues with this mobo. First off when playing a simple game such as starcraft, it will either restart randomly, or perform an illegal operation. It has massive probs playing any games more complex than that, which is sad. I also had alot of problems with installation of win xp pro. some files failed to copy. Install finally worked but after many tries. some help would be great. thanks.
it had a 2.0ghz 400mhz fsb intel celeron processor but was changed out with a 2.26ghz p4 proc
so heres the specs on this computer
power supply
tigerpro 350 watts
vid card
Abit siluro gf4mx-se
hard drive
80gb western digital wd800
Hitachi 8x dvd rom drive
generic firewire card
s-braket installed
d-braket installed
2.26ghz 533fsb 512k l2 pentium 4 proc w/ stock heatsink+fan
memory
spectek select 512mb which worked in 2 other systems flawlessly
OS
presently a dual boot system with win xp pro and suse linux
oringinally had just winxp pro and had same issues as stated before

see i dont kno. its a 350w psu, and it seems almost as if the ram bank is bad, ie the slot where the ddr mem goes. i change it to a diff bank and it works. starts up fine. but the next restart, will not run. see this is what happens.
1 turn on the computer. it will just sit there with no cmos/post beep and no bios for the mobo or vid card appears on screen. hdd and dvd rom get power as well as the fans
2 the d-bracket 4 leds read all green, signifying that the cpu or heatsink is bad or not installed properly.
sometimes ill release the tension on the heatsink and move it around(the heatsink) then turn it on with the tension loose, and seems to do better like that. plus it will boot. also, another time and pretty much every time since my first post, it seems to start up all the devices, but no boot. I initially thought it was the cpu so i changed that out with another that was known good. then it worked marvelously, but after another restart, refused to start at all. Then after reading the other moderators post i realized it could be the ram. I had the same issue with this board before, before it was RMAed mind you, where it wouldnt work, so i moved the ram to a diff slot and it worked. same case with this new mobo. it started up fine. then same prob arose, but this time, no matter what would not start until i put the new kingston ram in. then i ran that memtest prog. finished, got to 100%, and kept counting, but couldnt stop it or reboot from the menu, so i hit the reset button, prolly not the best idea, but i didnt have a choice. im not quite sure if the ram passed or not, but immediatly after gave me tons of probs. boots runs Suse linux, but wont run windows. As soon as it loads it instantly restarts. this happend even in safe mode. this mobo was originally in the computer i have now, and i think its the same wattage and amperage as the one in the msi mobo case. the reason y i dont see it being the psu is bc im currently runnin a 3.0ghz p4 1 sata 2 eide ok vid card a dvdburner and a cdrw. alot more than this system, but never gave me any probs. but who knows i could be wrong. I appologize for the long post. but i am totally stumped on this one. but it just seems to me like this mobo series (648max-l) is just way buggy. i have had issues with this mobo from day one. as well as the one(exact model) before it. If i have to put anymore money into this mobo, it jsut isnt worth it to me anymore. i will prolly just buy a diff mobo all together. as always any help or suggestions are very much appreciated. once again i appologize for the lengthyness, but i hope this will aid you in your diagnostic. thanks again!
