System instability with 3000+ and Mega 180

My systems keep restarting in Windows when I change the FSB clock speed to 166 in the BIOS... I have an Athlon XP Barton 3000+ 333 FSB and a Mega 180 computer with 512 MB ram.  I suspect the CPU is not getting enough voltage supplied to it, necessitated by the increased clock speed; however, there is no option in the BIOS to adjust the CPU voltage.  I know some other users are using the 3000+ but does anyone know how to solve this issue?  In the meantime I've had to bump the clock speed down to 100 Mhz, leaving me with an underclocked 3000+ running at a mere 1.3 ghz :( No bueno, amigo!
This shouldn't even be an issue because the motherboard states support for the 3000+ but it is causing my frustration to no end... any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone...
P.S.  I have Windows XP Pro, SP1, latest nForce drivers, temperature is running around 55º C, and I even closed the MSI hardware monitor to make sure it wasn't giving false diagnostics, but the system still restarts .. I've reinstalled windows multiple times, still happening.. it has to be a hardware issue.

He didn't say directly; however, he did allude to the fact that a lot of instability issues were caused by the ram settings in the bios.  I would venture to guess the auto detect function for the ram in the bios works with the supported ram manufacturers, but my ram is made by SpecTek... had to go on their site and get the values from a pdf... and then the values are in nanoseconds instead of clock cycles like the bios requires so I'll have to convert those values somehow... what I did do was play around with the values and bump the delay from 2.5 to 3 and that seemed to fix the stability issue...  this helps in the meantime before I figure out the exact value for each ram setting in the bios.. at least it doesn't restart anymore!

    b,
    The install was from my original Dell XP Pro-SP1 'Reinstallation' CD along with the complete MS XP-SP2 download that I burned to another CD. I also had all the latest Dell drivers from their website burned to a CD. Install went as follows:
    - Format HD
    - Install XP Pro SP1
    - Install SP2
    - Install Dell Drivers
    - Obtain any MS patches from their site
    - Install Office
    - Update Office from the MS website
    - Install iTunes
    - Tweak MS settings
    - Install many software programs
    - Make an interim Image of system and store to ExHD
    - Install other software programs (mostly security programs)
    - Make another 'complete' Image to ExHD
    - Restore backup data and music
    After additional testing last night, I determined that it is not iTunes at all (or to blame). I get intermittent hangs/freezes/pauses in other media players (WMP, etc.).
    Seems that something is causing the 'System' process to periodically jump up in CPU %age (though not more than 30-50%). Even this relatively small amount is enough to pause the playback of music or video, hang the mouse movement for a brief moment, or delay a menu opening. All very subtle - you have to be looking for it to notice (except with real-time audio-video, which is quite noticeable whenever this happens).
    I had this problem a year ago, which is why I reimaged then and stayed with SP1 on the advice of Dell and Webroot. I'm stumped as to where to look for the culprit. Every time I go back to the original HD with SP1, everything runs smoothly. Some sort of system call is generating this complete pause....
    I'll be limited in my Internet ability for the next several days, so I may be out of touch until Friday. I'll keep testing and playing with the limited equipment I take along....
    Any thought you or others want to toss out, I'll attempt when possible.
    Thanks!

  • Four digit numbering system starting with 0001 and not just 1.

    How can I re name and renumber  a file of photos and include a four digit numbering system starting with 0001 and not just 1. I need this so another computer program can keep the images in numerical order
    Now I number a wedding say... Smith_Jones 1 ect up to 659 but a program I use to create albumes scrambles all my photos becasue they say the numerical system has to have 4 digits so Number 1 is really 0001 thus staying in order.  I d ont see how to assign 3 zeros to the front of numbers --- so # 344 would be 0344  LR wants to keep it 344.

  • System corruption with SL and Capture NX

    Five days ago, I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, and I was very pleased with the results. Then on Monday evening I installed the latest version of Nikon's Capture NX, which is now SL-compatible, and went to bed after checking that it could open photos OK, leaving NX open.
    Next morning, as soon as I tried using any app, I got the spinning wheel, so I force-quit a couple of apps, but then I couldn't shut down or get anywhere, so I had to power off, and on repowering, the system refused to start. Disc Utility reported that it was unable to verify or repair the disc, failing while trying to rebuild the Catalog B-tree, but I couldn't even erase the disc as it wouldn't mount.
    Fortunately, my local Apple Repair Centre is just up the road, and they managed to erase the disc and reload Snow Leopard. I then restored from my latest Time Machine backup, but then the system wouldn't start (grey screen), so this time I restored from immediately before the installation of SL, and now everything is fine - except that I'm frightened to install SL or the new NX again.
    How does something like this happen with a fundamentally secure OS? Fingers point to Capture NX as the guilty party, but can an app cause this damage, or is it more likely to be a problem in SL - or something else?

    Hello.
    I have also SL 10.6.2 and Capture NX2.2.4. iMac 24", 3.06 Mhz, 8Go.
    NX2 crashes very often or blocks with spinning wheel, when working on a picture while there is no other opened application.
    I have no problem during the development step of NEF files, the problem happens when applying multiple steps of corrections on the file.
    Sometimes, NX2 quits during the work, sometimes, it refuses the saving of the modified file and is blocked. The file is lost.
    Waiting for an answer from Nikon support.

  • System Update with T440s and Windows 8.1

    I installed clean install windows 8.1 (iso directly from Microsoft) and I was thinking, that Lenovo System Update will install all necessary drivers and tools for me.
    Sadly, this was not happening at all. Majority of drivers was missing. Even newest bios wasn't offered for install. However, on lenovo's website all drivers was available.
    Is this only problem with my laptop or it is general behavior?
    Thanks,
    Solved!

    We are way behind in posting Win8.1 drivers/software to TVSU.  All I can say is to get the things you need from the website, or else wait another month or so.  Sorry for this inconvenience.

  • System control with java, and networking in jave

    Hi, just a couple of questions.
    Ill start witht the networking query. Ive been making a basic network chat program using sockets. The text is transfered through the sockets as strings read in from text field on the interface
    eg
    kkSocket = new Socket("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", 80);
    out = new PrintWriter(kkSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
    in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(kkSocket.getInputStream()));
    String fromUser = (ba.text());
    out.println(fromUser);
    All this works fine, i want to impliment file transfer into the app, but im clueless how to transfer anything other than a basic string over a socket, let alone send it to a specific location on the client computer. Any help / advice would be well recieved.
    Also, as i have basic code, that can connect computers, and send messages between them, i was wondering how i control some of the system functions, like executing files, opening / closing cd tray etc through java. As with this, i could create a mini remote control application.
    Again, any help on this (or even a pointer to relavent things in the java api) would be fantastic as the more i can understand the more inventive i can be when coding
    Cheerz

    You seem to manage well even though you're posting to New To Java Technology, I've seen far worse questions in ALT even...
    All this works fine, i want to impliment file transfer into the app, but im clueless how to transfer anything other than a basic string over a socket, let alone send it to a specific location on the client computer.To send files/binary data, you would use a BufferedInputStream (remember Streams are for binary data, Readers/Writers are for text) in a similar way you're using PrintWriter and BufferedReader now.
    It could go a bit like this (invent your own protocol):
    User1 sends a String that says: FILE C:\directory\file
    User2 receives the String and prepares to save a file to the specified directory.
    User1 sends the binary data to User2.
    User2 reads the binary data and writes it in the file.
    Controlling system functions in Java can be tricky, so you might not get all the functionality in your program that you want. Running programs can be done through System.exec(), but the CD tray might be impossible even.

  • Systemic error with times and dates across all. please help

    So, having recently made the switch to the world of Apple, I am starting to get my teeth into things - however, struggeling on a couple of fronts. The first and most frustrating for me at the moment is the fact that the time on my messaging and calanders would all appear to be the same.
    When I send and receive messages on skype - they all apear with the same time on them.
    When I open my ical (tried to sync calendars with my ipad2 myself - and initially felt very please with myself) only to find that ALL events had sat as the time...throughout the entire day, and within the event box, the time (the same time as that which appears in skype) appears inside and at the begining of every entry.
    I have tried to change the date and time settings - the clock at the top right of my screen is correct and changes as the hours go by......but still no change in the skpye messaging or in ical.....so frustrating - I use skype as a business tool and at present I am not able to copy and paste peoples messages into anythign else as the time is incorrect.

  • MCE05 and Mega 180

    Has anyone experienced the loss of buttons (display not function) on the media center program after about 5minutes of use.  If I access any of the features like My Music and play or delete files some of the files become blacked out but can still be used.  Is this a graphics problem or a software problem (will post this on MCE forum as well to find out)?
    Thanks

    yeah i noticed that had been discussed, i set both of them to 128MB and it still happened, then changed the frame size (i think) to 256MB and still to no effect.  Is it because I am using a mouse and keyboard (remote in the post!)?

  • Ddr400 question - mega 180

    as usual, I'm a bit confused by contradicting information on forums and MSI releases. Some places say DDR333 is the max, others say DDR400.
    here's the deal: I want to use 1gb of kingston DDR400 with an MSI mega 180 and an Athlon Xp 2000+, without using onboard video.
    I am not much into overclocking (harldy need it...) - I'm more interested in stability.  I certainly don't know enough about it to mess around with bios and possibly ruining the poor machine.
    if I simply put the DDR400 in place with this CPU and an AGP video card (without changing the bios from AUTO mode), will it be stable? otherwise, what changes do I need to manually do in the bios to insure stability while using the abilities of DDR400?
    BTW: after a little modding work, by the way, heat is no longer an issue.

    I'm using DDR400 because thats what i found when i looked at the specification for the  MEGA 180 and when i placed the order online the shop said they were compatible.
    When installed the DDR400 memory is working fine no problems at all... its just running at 333 instead of 400. I didn't bother returning it to get DDR333 because everything is working fine and the 512MB Giel memory was pretty cheap (only 775NOK) from here
    -> http://psdata.no/.

  • Answers to Problems With Icloud and Office 2007 Outlook?

    My computer has a Windows 7, 64 bit operating system and Microsoft 2007 Office, which includes Outlook 2007 where I do most of my mail and keep my daily calendar and all my contacts. I wanted to sync my iphone 5 calendar with Microsoft's Office 2007 Outlook Calendar. I followed the instructions but it has never worked and Icloud put my original Outlook Calendar and Contacts in the deleted folder for Outlook and substituted folders called Contacts1 and Calendar1. Unfortunately, the sync with my iphone does not work properly. It did the very first time after installing icloud and itunes but thereafter all it does is upload stuff to icloud and additions made in my Office 2007 Outlook calendar since the first sync do not get transferred to my iphone calendar. After numerous attempts to make this work I decided to just forget about trying to sync with icloud so I deleted it from my system along with itunes and now i am left with the icloud calendar1 and contacts1 in Outlook 2007. I am unable to transfer my icloud calendar entries back to the original Outlook 2007 calendar the same for contacts. Can anyone tell me how to do this so I can delete the icloud folders contacts1 and calendar1 from Outlook 2007?  Thanks.

    Try to export them as .pst files from within Outlook (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-contacts-HA102919759.aspx).  Then disable iCloud syncing and import the .pst backups back to Outlook.

  • MEGA 180: A story of stupidity mixed up with bad product design

    This is more for a word of caution to Mega180 users and future owners.
    A bit angry as I managed to burn ( physically ) 2 harddrives  because of carefulness about 10 mins.
    Spend quite some time looking for a SATA to ATI power converter while looking for a solution to CPU temp problem. Could not find one ( and  I don't know if any one does it )
    As my old HD did not start the OS on Mega180 for some data transfer I was not able to use my USB external HD. So I decided to connect old HD as slave and do a HD to HD transfer. Here comes the bad design, the HD connection cable specifies a slot for a slave HD however there is only one power connector (ATI) for supported IDE HD. and there is a useless SATA power connector,it is useless as MEGA 180 does not support SATA.
    Here comes the stupidity, for a min I came up with the bright idea of using the CD drives power connector ( I now remember that I ruled this option earlier, I wish I remembered it all along) As there is always a current on this cable (when there is a power connection - for the HIFI mode to work ) I guess some static electricity effected my HD. Not having realised the HD is already affected, I swapped the cables as the HD connection cable is not long enough to keep 2 HDs in a steady state.
    As a result both my HDs are now not working, when I tried the original master HD I was horrified to see a spark and some fume  
    I wish I never tried to use my old graphics card - which I wanted only for the DVI support. This led to CPU temperatures of average 70 degree celcius and when I ever I tried to use the PC properly I was had to turn it off due to extreme temperatures over 75 degree celcius.
    All I was after is a troublefree smooth working nice looking PC, yet I am stuck now... I am both upset for the data I lost as well as hours I spend in trying to put this thing together. I will decide in the morning to return or keep the product. If I keep it the next challenge will be getting my external HD to run an OS as I need to save up again to buy a new HD, I was hoping my next HD would be a SATA one :(
    This is definately a bitter lesson. Such a pity that with just a little more effort MSI could have really improved the profuct most are listed here but I want to summarise:
    1. before getting the new product out try fitting a new graphics card and a TV card and operate both for 2 hours... That is if you could fit them both in the first reason why you could not is the cables from power supply is unnecessarily long for supplying power to the board and unsuitably located. the best you could do is place them all infront of the cpu fan.
    2. It is really great to have detachable ODD and HD yet Floppy drive ( card reader ) bay is static
    3. a better location for CPU or card slots would have contributed to airflow far more.
    Better close here... I am still not sure if positives of the product companates all the negatives.  

    Simply, be aware that the power cable for the CDRom is live most all the time that your backpanel power cord is plugged in. Its for the support of CD/MP3 in HI-Fi mode. If you shut down your system, and not unplug the power, and you try to connect or disconnect anything to the IDE cable, and you are using the power cable for the CD, you can cause static/surging on the component you are hooking up....
    If you must hookup an alternate drive [slave] for data dumping/imaging etc. use a Y cable from the HDD power cable. It only activates when the PC power switch is utilized....

  • Mega 180 and MSI FX5200-TD128

    Hi all and thanks in advance for any help.
    I just bought MEGA 180 a some more things, here is my current config:
    Box - Mega 180
    CPU - Barton 2500+
    Memory - 2x256 - 400Mhz from Phoenix Technologies
    Disk - 120 Gigs HD - Seagate Ultraquiet
    DVD Rom - Leadtek Silent
    PVR PCI Card - PVR 350 from Hauppage
    Everything works fine.
    Now I have an MSI FX5200-TD128 Graphics Card and decided to try it out.
    With some difficulty I managed to put it in but now .... the computer simply does not start .. well sort off.  
    Once I hit the power on button three things can happen:
    * Computer starts but the display is not on, and eventually it locks.
    * Computer starts with some gittery on the screen and it locks
    * Computer starts, I hit the del key but I can't even get into the BIOS.
    In either case the OS never boots.
    My question is,
    * Do I need to set something on the BIOS before I install the card such as, increase the AGP voltage or something like that?
    * Can it be that my memory is just BAD for it?
    * Can it be that my AGP slot is just BAD?
    * Do I need to setup the BIOS prior to the operation?
    * Is this just that my MSI card is too power hungry, which I think it strange as it is from MSI, its the latest model of its type?
    Please help me, and again thanks in advance.
    Nuno
    PS: By the way, my BIOS is V3.30 downloaded two days ago from Live Update

    Hi,
    Managed to get it working. Here is what I did in case anyone has the same problem as mine.
    1) Take a memory DIMM out, a let one just stay there. This will get you a memory total of 256 Mgs and your system will now boot.
    2) Get to the BIOS settings.
    3) Choose the option concerning DIMM's and performance (third option I think).
    4) In the third option select Manual. This will allow you to set specific options for the memory.
    5) Select Auto in the option concerning CPU / DIMM transfer rating.
    6) Select High Performance in the 7th or 8th option concerning your DIMM settings.
    7) Save the BIOS
    8) Put the DIMM back in
    9) Start your system and voila it works.
    Best regards,
    Nuno

  • Mega 180 and 9700 Pro: What kind of cooler can i fit on it?

    Hi, i'm almosteady to order my MSI Mega 180. When i get it i want to put my 9700 pro into it, it's now working in a water cooled system, and i'm not really impressed with the Hercules cooler it came with. So what i'm asking is: what cooler can i fit on the 9700 pro and it will still fit in the Mega 180?
    Some interesting options include:
    Arctic VGA Silencer
    Zalman ZM80C-HP VGA Heatpipe Cooler
    ZM80A-HP
    I'm thinking that the zalman's are to big for the case (but i'm not sure), i don't even know if the arctic is going to fit...
    I don't want to overclock my system or videocard, so no excessive cooling is required.

    Hi,
    I'm not familiar with the dimensions of the 9700 Pro, but I think it is going to be a VERY tight fit. Be aware that you have limited space and you're probably going to (partly) block the exhaust from the CPU cooler. Last but not least, the power cables originate from the PSU on the same side as the AGP slot is located.
    Perhaps you can read some of the reviews of the Mega 180 on the Net (search Google for "mega 180" and "review") and have a closer look at the pictures that are made from the internals.
    Greetz,
    JaDi.

  • MEGA 180 and Radeon 9800 Pro/XT

    Haven't posted in a while, just wanted to spread a little good. Having a MEGA 180 is a little limiting with power supply and space issues etc but i've got a cracking setup working here :-)
    I bought the MSI RX9800PRO TD128, despite a 300watt power supply warning for the card it works perfectly in the MEGA, but the good news doesn't stop there, the graphics chip is not a standard 9800PRO R350 core, for some reason it has the R360 core from the 9800XT, overclocking is a breeze with the ATI Tool. It comes default with a 378 core - 338 mem setting, I have saved a profile in ATI Tool with the XT settings of 412 core - 365 mem and they work a treat in UT, Q3, Tomb AOD and i've even stressed the card in 3DMark05 for quite some time and it just works, I dare say I could push it even higher but I'm happy getting XT performance for PRO money :-)
    Overclocker New Zealand have even managed to get it up to an insane 479 core - 391.5 mem see http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=04vga00r9800promsi00000r9800pro0105
    There is also another great thread all about this card at http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showindex.php?t=118366&highlight=rx9800
    The ATI Tool is quite good, i've even created a profile for 2D that is underclocked for when I'm in windows so it keeps my system a little cooler with the XT settings set to kick in when I start up 3D, coupled with a Barton 2800+, 1Gb of PC2700 and the 120Gb Maxtor with 8Mb of cache and it is all just working well together, Win XP Pro with SP2 is rock solid, well it is for me anyway, :-)
    Couple of things to know.
    Win XP finds the RX as an XT, so no need to try and flash the bios, it isn't an XT PCB anyway, just an XT core.
    As there is no heat sensor for the core ATIs Overdrive isn't available but you can get the ATI Tool from loads of places on the net, here is a link anyway http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
    happy at last :-)

    Dont know if this will help but I had the same problem awhile back with an Asus A7N8X deluxe that I built for a friend.   Sometimes it would initiate the monitor and others it would not.   This drove me nuts for about a week, I tried everything that I could think of.   This is what I did to remedy the situation somewhat.  
    Go to the ATI website and download the catalyst removal software and also download the Catalyst 3.7 driver from there "older" drivers page.
    Now boot into windows and remove the ATI drivers and control panel from add remove programs, DO NOT REBOOT!  
    Run the ATI driver removal tool.
    Shut down the machine, REMOVE THE POWER CORD,clear cmos, set the jumper for CPU fsb to 100mhz (safemode)  and REMOVE your ram.   Boot the machine, you will get a series of beeps indicating that the memory is not installed. Shut the machine down, REMOVE THE POWER CORD, Put the memory back in, reset the CPU fsb jumper to its normal position,  and clear Cmos again.  (this series of actions  also solved my no display issue on my Mega 180 using the onboard graphics).
    Now boot into bios and set it up the way you want then boot into windows and when windows tells you that it has found new hardware do not let it automatically install anything (cancel it).  Now run the 3.7 catalyst setup and follow the instructions.
    I am not sure why this worked to solve the issue but it did for me on both my Mega and the above mentioned system.   I think there may be some odd conflict with the Nforce chipset and the ATI drivers and or Card bios.
    Why it worked on my Mega is a mystery, I am using the onboard graphics and would have the system turn on with fans working and all but would have no display out.
