KT4AV VIA KT400a Chipset

Keep getting blue screen when trying to install windows XP new all new system. the hard drive and CD rom will post and show in bios, the xp disk loads, but I think the problem is with the third party raid driver ( this is what I get from trouble shooting XP site). Cannot locate driver to download to floppy. HELP

..." but I think the problem is with the third party raid driver..." And how do you think you can receive some help if you don't even mention the raid card maker ?
Please gice PC specs. includding P.Su. brand and AMPS. it gives to 3.3v 5v. and 12v. rails.

TV @nywhere Satellite II DVB-S2 VIA VT6112L Chipset

Hi,
I have MSI TV @nywhere Satellite II DVB-S2 VIA VT6112L Chipset card.
It is working with 32-64 bit BDA driver XP to Windows 8 and I received both of Standard definition & High Definition channels without problem.
I would like to learn about how to setup high speed internet data from Satellite ISP, the card placed only sound, video & game controller at device manager, no driver at network controller.
Please help about how to setup network driver and which software I should use for it.

Have you tried the latest driver from >>Intel<<?

8X AGP Card (FX5700) on KM2M Combo Motherboard (VIA KM266 Chipset)?

I have got a MSI KM2M Combo with a VIA KM266 Chipset based motherboard [Model No: MS-6738 (v1.X) Micro ATX Mainboard].
What is the voltage of the AGP 2.0 slot in the above mentioned motherboard?
Can I run an 8X Agp card (Nvidea GeForce FX5700) without any problem?

This is not enough PSU for that VGA card

Frontech 300 Watts SMPS (3.3V 14A; 5V 30A; 12V 12A)
Needs to have at least 25A @ 3.3V, and over 18A @ 12V to be on the safe side.
Otherwise, there should be no problems running that VGA card.

8800GT and VIA 880 chipset = incompatible

As you might have heard, the new VIA 880 chipset is incompatible with the 8800GT.(all versions)
But there is hope as it is possible to downgrade the 8800GT so that it runs with this chipset, as you may read here:
http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,34/func,view/id,47800/catid,13/limit,10/limitstart,0/
Now, I need to flash my VGA, so that I can use it in GEN1-Mode.
Several companies have handed out the necessary *.rom file that allows you to flash your VGA.
(EVGA, Sparkle, Gigabyte etc.)
Unfortunately, the MSI Support I contacted is incapable of doing a short research and provide me the necessary resources...
"Thank you for your support. This card is PCI-E 2.0 version, if your motherbaoard is PCI-E 1.0 version, you can also use it on this motherbaord, but it maybe run at a lower performance."

Since the MSI 8800GT is just standard design you could just use the .rom of a standard GT of a different manufacturer. If you have a oc model it would then run with standard GT clockrates (...unless you're using the bios of a oc model of a different manufaturer).
Of course this would be at your own risk but also the solution.
Another solution would be getting rid of that ASrock board
By the way it is not the via chipset itself that is incompatible. The problem is it's limitation of pcie lanes. As it provides just an X4 PCIe-graphics slot that's a problem for the pcie 2.0 card. That's what MSI support seems to have not understand from your question. You don't have a regular PCIE 1.0 slot and that's why support's answer doesn't help you.

Any experience with USB 2.0 upgrade with VIA VT6202 chipset?

Hello,
I'd like to know, if anybody suceeded with upgrading his PowerMac with USB 2.0 PCI card, which has VIA VT6202 chipset?
I found some of them very cheap and in one e-shop there was a tiny notice about supporting OS saying - MacOS X supported! These cards are sold under different names but all of them have same "L" shape, 1 port inside and 4 outside and there is VIA VT6202 sign on the chip .
Btw I have Quicksilver 2002, 800MHz
Thank you for your answers.
Honza

Well, I've found some notices about cards with VIA chipsets and they aren't very good - NEC seems to be more reliable.
So again, does anybody have any experience with USB 2.0 PCI cards with NEC chipset?
Thanks

Anybody using a Via KT880 chipset?

I'm looking to build my girlfriend a cheap Socket A system (I already have lots of spare DDR memory and Athlon XP CPUs) and was looking at a Via KT880 motherboard. Does anyone have experience with this sort of board? Pros & Cons?

Just an update:
I've been using this chipset now for a few weeks and have to say that it's much better IMHO than nForce2 in terms of linux support. The newer kernels have great support for even the gigabit ethernet connectivity and sound. The snd-via82xx module seems much more feature complete than the snd-intel8x0 you're forced to use with nForce2 if you want ALSA. The Via module also seems to support hardware accelerated mixing on this platform where the intel8x0 driver didn't support hardware mixing (because nVidia would not cooperate with technical details) at all.
So, I have considered this an upgrade.

KT400A Chipset RAM Support Question

Hi.
I had a KT4V-L KT400 chipset but it abruptly died one day... anyways... While I was waiting for the RMA to come back, I picked up a new KT4AV - KT400A. I did this to salvage my 2 year old installation of XP Pro. Worked great, the migration to the new motherboard was fine. But heres where it got hairy...
I was running the follow ram config in the KT400:
(1) Stick of Kingston HyperX PC3200
(2) Sticks of Kingston HyperX PC3500
For a total of 1.5Gigabytes of RAM. Set at 333 memory speed, and 170MHz FSB.
However, on the KT400A, I cant run the same configuration, it will not correctly boot.infact, it hangs. So, I installed a fresh version of XP Pro on another partition, same result, The system Hangs at the XP Logo with the black background.
So, my question is this, why wont it work? Oh yeah, I also set it at super tight timings because thats the way it was before, but then laxed the timings thinking that maybe the problem, still no luck.
Heres a total list of my other hardware:
Enermax 550 WATT PSU.
XP2500 -Barton
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Audigy 2ZS
Promise TX2 IDE Controller
and, 6 hard drives.
2 Rom drives.
I dont think im maxing out the PSU because I have ran up top 10 hard drives in the old config on the KT400 with no problems.
I also thought it might be a power issue, so, I plugged my box into my Line Conditioner, thinking maybe im getting a brown out? still, Same problem, hangs upon boot with 3 sticks of ram. So, now what do I do?

Hi, according to Kingston the KT4V and KT4AV only supports two 400mhz sticks, when using 2 sticks the third memory bank is disabled.

Via Hyperion chipset drivers for K&t266 Pro2 MS 6380

hi all
Having recently re installed XP to new hard drive thought I should update the VIA chipset drivers so have installed 4in1 Hyperion 451v.
Am having some lock up problems transfering files from 1 hard drive to another on the same IDE channel.
Power supply problem identified and new Antec on the way.
Looking for some opions guidance around standard XP drivers vs Via and as this is quite old board should I be using retro Via drivers for stability.
Views, thoughts experience appreciated.

Some kt266 chipsets requires the VIA latency patch.
Fixes file transfer issues, corruption and stability issues.
Improves PCI bus transfer rates and crackling sound issues.
you might want to look into this.

Did you try to put the MSI cdrom in there and wait upto 2 minutes until the menu appears?
Well I use to have a CreativeLive sound card from the begining so at the begining the sound on board was disable. But now I have a second computer and I put the creative on that one and I want to enable the sound, this is the point when the big surprise show up.
I have 2 MSI cd's one from this motherbordand one from an older one. When I lunch this cd on the driver section of the autorun I have only a Realtek Network adapter (which I have one already instaled), but if I browse the CD I can find a sound/via/4****? directory with a setup file. If I lanch the install it says "you don't have a Via Cipset" well it's a preaty BIG via on it. If I use the old cd I have 3 options one via cipset drivers 1 realtek network and one Via Audio Drivers but bought via drivers are disable like they are already instaled. If I lanch the Via Audio Drivers says "The VIA chipset is disable please run BIOS and Enable it" or somthing like that, so as I see it it's a BIG problem with the BIOS or the Hardware.
sorry for this to long story

How to install SATA on VIA K8M890 chipset board

Hi,
When trying to install winxp - the installation doesn't recognize my sata hd.
I didn't receive any diskette with my compute.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gidon.

Is the Hitachi drive a SataI or SataII.
Here is the Info MSI gave;
On-Board SATA
• Two SATA ports by VIA® VT8237A
- Supports storage and data transfers at up to 150MB/s
- Supports RAID 0, 1 and RAID 0+1
MSI Reminds You...
• The RAID setup floppy disk is optional depending on the districts. You can download the files from the website to make the setup disk.
So according to that the SATA Controller is a SataI and your drive must be set to that via the jumpers if it is a SATAII. The only thing you should need the floppy for is RAID. The Floppy is optional so it looks like it does not come in the box.
