[VIA] related to msi kt4av (ms 6712) mainboards

hi! I've got a msi kt4av and a few things bother me!
1 the cpu voltage is higher than I set it in windows: I set it to 1.65 but it goes to 1.675 in reality! this goes for all of the voltage values. anyone got this problem?
2 I'd like to buy a new hdd, preferably over 200 gb! on the faq of the board it says that the max supported is 160 gb, but I have doubts it has been updated anywhere recently!
could those of you that have or had this mainboard, help me out a bit? thanks

if a mobo says the max supported HDD size is over 137gb, (eg 160gb) then any size above that (eg 200gb) will work. after the 137gb limit on older boards, the next max size limit i believe is somewhere around 4 terabytes
as for CPU voltage, you should set that in BIOS, and preferably to AUTO, unless you're overclocking and know what you're doing windows utilities don't always read values correctly

Help on MSI KT4AV(MS-6712)

hi
i have assembled a pc using......
Motherboard -    MSI KT4AV(MS-6712),
CPU -       AMD Athlon Xp 2200+,
Graphic Card -    MSI G4 MX440-T8X (8895),
Ram -       Hynix 256MB DDR ( ),
HDD -       Samsung 80GB 7200RPM (SP0802N),
Combo Drive -    LG (GCC-4480B),
Sound Card -    In-built,
Monitor -     Samsung 15",
Modem -     Internal (Smartlink 56K ),
PS -       Un-branded good quality,
there are some problems,
1) i am unable to get the pictures on my TV screen,
i dont know how to connect the TV-OUT connector to my TV.
2) my system was showing athlon XP 1500+ before but after i visited the AMD's Forum i got the clue to make it 2200+ by increasing the FSB setting from 100 to 133, now it is showing 2200+.
3) i have seen this line in one thread here in this forum that
(* do not install or uninstall any VIA AGP drivers, including those in VIA 4-in-1 drivers...) , if i should not install this driver then will it be OK not installing this driver...?
4) (KT4V BIOS version 1.7 and above fixes the CRC errors (IDE problems that cause crashes) ) , and i have this new motherboard KT4AV with BIOS v( ) ,
but i am having this problem as the system crashes and hangs or blue screen appears and does not support this harddisk, and i have to use a samsung tool to downgrade the UDMA mode of the HDD to 100 MBPS,
(This program will change the UDMA mode of all UDMA 133-supporting Samsung drives in the system)and the samsung says thatthe cause is...
Cause
This issue is caused when the data transfer rate between the motherboard (or host system) and HDD is erroneously set beyond the maximum data transfer capability of host, 100MB/sec. Under this environment, the host system fails to read data correctly from HDD resulting in unsuccessful OS installation.
Please note that this issue is caused by the incompatibility between the motherboard and HDD(s), not by the faulty Samsung hard disk drive.
Now should i have to use my system at 100 MBPS speed as my HDD supports 133 MBPS...?
5) what is the use of the (IrDA Infrared Module Header: JIR1), how can i use it?
6) and the last question is this board has (6-channel software audio codec ), how to use it? ans i don't have the S-Bracket as i did'nt get it with my motherboard, and i want to use the 6 channel output from my PC , please help me how to use it ...
thanks
please help me ,,,,

1) Not sure, see p. 3.
2) Is pretty normal procedure around here.
3) Who on earth might have written that? But I suggest you enter 'Safe Mode' when installing 4-1 drivers. You had better have them.
4) Not sure, see p. 3.
5) Someone must confirm this, but I think its for remote networking.
6) If you have integrated or other sound card, drivers, cables and speakers there is no problem. See the manual, please.

[VIA] MSI-KT4AV and PC3200 RAM

Hi guys!
I've got an MSI-KT4AV mainboard, an Athlon XP 1800+, and a 512mb 400mhz Pc3200 module. This is the problem: I changed the DDR module from a 512mb 266mhz module to the 512mb 400mhz module; the mainboard has always worked fine with the first type of DDR module, but with the second one, the PC doesn't boot up. I try to change the memory but there is the problem yet. I try also the DDR Module 400mhz on another MSI Mainboard and that mobo function but not the MSI-KT4AV!!!!! I'm sure that this mobo support the DDR Module 400mhz but I don't know why the system doesn't boot up. Another important thing: when I press the power button to switch on the PC, the Display is totally black with no signal but I can clearly hear 3 beeps from the motherboard: BEEP BEEP BEEP silence BEEP BEEP BEEP silence BEEP BEEP BEEP and so on....
Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much for Your reply....

Did you try clearing your CMOS? Look in your mobo manual if you don't know how. That should fix it. :D.
If it still doesnt, put your old stck of memory back in, go into your bios, and look under Frequency and Voltage. Look for Memory voltage/vDimm. Adjust it to 2.7 or 2.8v. Save settings and exit. Wait for windows to boot and shutdown. Then try your new ram again. =D

MSI KT4AV

Hi on the box of a motherboard write that name of mother board is 694T PRO but on Home Everest software name of Motherboard is MSI KT4AV (MSI-6712) (6 PCI, 1AGP, 3 DIMM, Audio). I need lan driver for that mother board?
I have 2 cd's from MSI CD 1CD2

MSI KT4AV-L w/ Radeon 9800 Pro at 8x Lockups!

I have the latest 4 in 1 drivers, and the latest Catalyst drivers and it seems that whenever I try running 3DMark2001SE it locks up almost immediately. Now if I use SmartGART to lower my AGP from 8x to 4x it runs flawlessly. Though I can't help feeling that there is some sluggishness in the video. I actually think that my old 4x GeForce 3 Ti500 ran smoother! (I had that on a Soyo Dragon Plus motherboard)
System configuration:
MSI KT4AV-L
Athlon XP 2500+
Radeon ATI 9800 Pro
2 sticks of 256Meg Corsair
60Gig IBM Deskstar
Yamaha 24x CDRW
Cendyne (Pioneer A05) DVD-RW
Antec Sonata case with 380W PS
+5v 35A, +12v 18A, +3.3v 28A, -5v .5A, -12v 1.0A, +5v SB, 2.0A

If you don't have an actual solution, then please don't post. Thank you for your input.
Not a good way to get help.
Welcome to the world of "new" technology, it takes a little time to get it perfected. As mentioned earlier in the thread, 8X has no perfomance advantage over 4X, and 8X is causing problems, that disappear by using 4X. Until ATI and/or VIA can develop a cure, you have 2 choices:
1. Run 8X mode, and live with the problems.
2. Run 4X mode, and have no problems, and no loss in performance.

KT4AV MS-6712 Hang after warm reset

Alright...this one has been bugging me for quite sometime now, but I've always ignored it. I currently have an MSI board: KT4AV MS-6712.
I'm runnin the Athlon 2500+ with a gig of ram. Nothing is overclocked. When I first built the system it worked great. However now anytime I restart it from the Windows shutdown screen or even using the reset switch, the system will hang before the POST has completed and made the beep. It'll come up with all its info showing that its checked the ram and its fine and its detected the hard disks and what not... but then it just hangs. Now if you turn the system off for 1-2 minutes, then turn it back on... it fires right up. No problems at all. I've already updated the BIOS with the latest available from the MSI website. As I said before, I had always just ignored the problem because I never found the time to screw with it. But now I really want to fix this because it is annoying! Um... only other things I have in the unit hardware wise are the following:
TDK 880N DVD Burner
Lite-On DVD Player
WD 30GB HDD
WD 100GB HDD
Radeon 9800 Pro
Audigy 2 Gamer
The D-bracket is also installed.
Anyone have any ideas at all!???
Thanks for your help.

Well actually a full format and clean install of Windows was already performed recently. Also the system has already been cleaned internally. I cannot stand a dirty computer. This is done OFTEN with any machine in my house. Windows having a problem was something I considered though, since it seemed to happen anytime that you would restart from Windows. But its also when you just use the reset switch. And it hangs before the POST is completed. Which makes it seem like it SHOULD be hardware. But its weird because the computer starts up... with the POST screen...not a splash screen. And it goes through all its tests. Such as checking the ram and detecting all the devices and what not. And it gets all the way through everything. The only difference is that it beeps and then boots. It'd be a little easier if it'd hang while detecting and IDE device or whatever ya know? But it doesn't. It appears to fully complete, but it just will hang after a warm reset. I can't remember exactly when it started...it was quite a while ago. However I do not recall making ANY changes to the system when it started. It just started happening. And it used to be that you could turn it off for like 10 seconds, then back on and it'd work Great. Now it seems like you have to wait like a full minute. So I really don't know. I've tried everything I can think of. I've even reduced the unit down to its bare minimum to operate. Still the same. And like I said before I JUST flashed the BIOS like...last night. I was just thinking maybe it was something in it. Still the same. Really running out of options with it. It does work fine though, other than this little annoyance.

Msi kt4av problem - overlay??

Hi,
I can't get rid of a very serious problem. I have bought a MSI KT4AV board together with AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton processor and ATI Radeon Graphics card. I get very weird things on my screen every time I want to play a movie or see a picture in the standard Windows XP picture browser. I don't see any JPEGs in IE either. I thought the reason for this was the incompatibility between the ATI card and the VIA chipset and exchanged this board for MSI nVidia GeForce FX5200. I also changed the motherboard with another piece of the same type but the problem still remains. To give an imagination of what happens: http://www.volny.cz/smudlicek/screen/screen.jpg . I am a little bit desperate. I don't think the problem could be in the processor I am still suspicious about the board. Any clues??? Thanx
Maacek

If it is mostly jpeg, I would check the file association. In my system there is no program assigned, /Explorer/Map alternatives in ME and in Swedish).
It doesn't display jpegs well on webpages. The 4in1 drivers are installed, BIOS unchanged. File assosiations are for sure not the cause for this problem.

MSI KT4AV no boot issue

I'm having a heck of a time getting my computer to boot back up I get 3 long beeps. This does not match anything I've found for codes. I went back in and installed the D-Bracket 4 LED diagnostic bracket.
This "normally" should show 4 red LED's on boot up. I get 3. The number 1 LED is dead, nothing showing. It then goes to number 2 and 4 red and number 3 green. It stays there and goes through the 3 long beeps.
Is it RAM or is it memory ???
anyone know for sure ??

Well, I was going to post all teh specs...but. I was getting pretty frustrated with it when I "re-set" the power switch on the back of the PWS. I'm running an ANTEC Sonata box and PWS. When I turned the switch off and on at the back I was able to boot up to a point.
I had jumped the CMOS earlier thinking it was the problem. So I had to go back through and reset all the setup config...that done it works like a champ again....
I had reset the Vcard and Memory, no help. I had a guy at a computer store tell me the 2 sticks X 256 were not compatiable and that was causing the trouble. He was a little perplexed when I told him it had ran like that for months....He did want me to bring the box in so he could fix it....wonder what that would have cost ?? I guess if you replace enough parts it will work...
Bottom line : 3 lond beeps with a MSI KT4AV board VIA chipset and ANTEC PWS try turning it off and on at the back...worked for me.
Never was able to find an actual listing for those 3 long beeps...

What's happened to my board? (MSI KT4AV-L)

I have a bit of a problem,
I have a MSI KT4AV-L with a AMD Athlon XP3000+ Processor.
Here's the mail i've just sent to the tech support of where I got the board from..

Yesterday, I started to have problems with the internal network port - it was not finding the my gateway, however when I tried the exact same cable and router port on my laptop, it all worked fine.
I decided to reformat and re-install windows XP, in case it was a software error, however this still didn't solve it. The basic problem was that I was getting Timeouts - I tried pinging the router and it was a mixture of successes and failures.
I went into the BIOS and changed back to "Default" settings and restarted - this has made matters worse - now my Graphics card is not working correctly and i'm not able to see anything on the monitor at all due to this.
These facts have made me feel that the Motherboard kid is faulty - I also noticed that the XP3000 chip I had was only showing up in windows as a 1.9ghz processor - not sure if this is correct or not.
Do you have any suggestions or can you give me a manufacture contact so I can try and resolve this issue without needing to send it back - I would appreciate a quick reply as I use this machine for work and it is causing me to delay some freelance projects that I am working on.

Hello,
Did they get back to you?
Please make a list of all your components, including the power supply + details of the sticker.
eg,
+12v = 10a
+5v = 20a
XP3000+ is 2.16Ghz
You need to enter the BIOS and set the FSB to 166Mhz.
Press DEL when you turn the PC on or restart,
go to Frequency/Voltage control > press enter
FSB > press enter, change it to 166Mhz. >press enter
press escape, then goto save and exit > Y > press enter
So that is one problem out of the way.
GFX card problem, is your card AGP 4x or 8x?
Now would be a good time to post that list

AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT4V MS-6712 MB

Can somebody help me pls? I do have a MSI KT4V MS-6712 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor. According the CPU RATIO settings table I should put the ratio 16 and the FSB on 133, but I don't have a 16. I only have a 15 and if I use the 15 instead of the 16 I do get a performance of 733 Mhz. When I use the 12.5/13 the system says it's a XP-2000+, but I'm still missing some Mhz. I did already upgrade the BIOS to version 1.8 but no results.
Pls help me, I'm getting crazy! ;(

I changed it into 166 Mhz and now it's acting as a XP 2600+.
Rob, thanks for your suggestion and help in this matter.
:P

Assorted MSI Neo-2-S mainboard problems

I just bought a MSI NEO-2-S Mainboard. I unwrap it and the first thing I see is a sticker on the AGP slot that says "1.5volt ONLY".
I cannot find *ANY* information to tell me how many volts my MSI video card is..
I have a MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 card (64mb version). I need to know if it is 1.5 volt or not, or how many volts, so I don't burn my new mainboard.
Video card:
Manufacturer: MSI
Model: Geforce 4 TI-4200 64mb
S/N: M88700205267511
8870 VER 10A

Thank you for the quick replies.
Now I am having a different problem. The motherboard will not power up.
It is a 300 watt power supply, should that not be sufficient?
I unhook everything..floppy, fans, hard drive..still no power up.
I try putting ram in different slots, still no power up. Nothing. Not even on that optional connector on the back with 4 LEDs to indicate system status.
I can't figure out what's wrong here. Usually when a mobo will not power up it is improperly seated video card, ram, or some combination thereof.
I have reseated the ram and video card to no avail. I have tried the RAM in slots 1&3, 1&2, and 2&4.
One other quirk is while this IS a P4 PS because it has the 12V CPU power hookup (the 4 connector one) there is no "power switch" or "reset switch" wire(s) to go to the motherboard. Should that cause a problem? I had a P3-350 in there just fine prior to putting in the Neo-2-S, it never had any problems needing that wire. Do I need a new case?
System specs:
300 Watt PS
MSI Neo-2-S mainboard
MSI G4 TI-4200 64mb AGP
1GB (512 * 2) Matched Geil pairs
P4 2.4c Intel CPU
WD 1200JB HD
Can anyone help..I've never had so much trouble with components before. :/ I build PC's all day long at work, never had problems like these. This is my first Pentium 4.
I can't get the mainboard to power up, period..we're not even to the point it could POST, because no power..
I have no spare parts to swap in to see if anything is DOA..and if I start playing "guess which item to send back" it's going to get very costly in restocking fees. :/

I have a Question i have a MSI H55M-P33 Intel Mainboard(Gaming Desktop)

im new to the Forums everybody so pleaser bear with me anyways as the subject line says i have a MSI H55M-P33 Intel Mainboard and i would like to know what MSI Nvida Cards i can run on my Borad also i love intel but my borad can only use i3 and i5 core processor(i7 not allowed)or can't be used on my Mo Borad :( The card i like and want is Nvida I Love PhysicX
my spece's are as followed
Gaming PC
OS-Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Processor-Intel Core i3 530 @ 2.93 ghz (2.93)4 Cores)
Graphics Card-Nvidia Geforce 210
RAM 4 GB
Hard Drive-1TB
Motherboard-MSI H55M-P33 Intel Mainboard

That Lg1156 you mentioned I don't think has anything to do with PSU, LGA 1156 is the CPU socket type.
Take the left side of the case off and look at the label on the power supply (PSU)

Advice on how to put Vista on KT4AV MS-6712 1.0A

People, How are you!!
Well in an old post I put this topic: "What kind of memory and CPU put in my..."
So i liked to install windows vista, I live in costa rica so now I want to change the following components..
Old Config:
CPU: AMD ATHLON XP 2000+ (1.67Ghz)
PSU specs: Omega 480W
+3.3V: 30A
+5V: 38A
+12V: 22A
+5 VSB: 2.0A
-5V: 0.5A
-12V: 1.0A
HDD: Western Digital 40GB
MEM: 2X 256MB Kingston DDR266
MOBO: MSI KT4AV (latest drivers of 2006)
VIDEO: MSI NVIDIA GFORCE 4MX 440 AGP 8X 64MB (Prince of Persia I doesn´t work in this one)
So i like to know opinions and kind of cards.... in a modest budget..
TKS!!!
All I want is test Windows Vista Ultimate and Play Doom III in this one.. so... only a new machine right??

Vista will cost you half a new system.
I don't think you should have a SocketA motherboard, at all, so yes, a new system.
If you don't buy a massive graphics card, you should be able to keep your PSU, and maybe you can keep your case, I don't know.
Here is an idea:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Socket AM2 1MB, BOXED m/fläkt
Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 1024MB Kit w/two matched Value Select 512MB
MSI K9N NEO-F, nForce 550, Socket-AM2, SATAII, DDR2, GbLAN, ATX, PCI-Ex16
PCI-Express graphics card I'm not so good at, but I like ATI cards.
It is not too expensive, but if you have some money spend some more on the memory.

Help---MSI KT4AV bios BUG ?!

Hi....(excuse my bad english... ) I try...
I have the MB MSI - KT4AV
two days ago , I have buy a AMD CPU 3200 Ghz , 32bit ofcourse, Inside the shop have sayed to me...no problems with this MB !!!
well I try , but I can't go UP 2800+ !!!
I try and Try with BIOS but no result.
I have read with the last BIOS is corretc the right recognised 3Ghz+ cpu...
I have update BUT always thesame.
So I have read arround, this MB can't support CPU uo 3Ghz !... so never 3,2 ...ok..but MY not go up 2,8 !!!!
BIOS setting....and here is the Myseriuos!!!
FSB...I can't select UP 170 or the PC non start , amnd I must reset the cmos/bios!
(200 I can't forget...I can work with 166.....)
MOLTIPLIC. I can set to x12.13 and My pc (166 - x12.13) give 2800
BUT....If i select x14 I became 880 Mhz !!! and if I set x 15 984 Mhz!!!!!!!
Why ?!?!? this is sure a bios bug....

impossible....sure NEVER He take back!!... later I used and Try.... sure I became in the...A..!
well IF this CPU is not supported WHY work and to 2800 ?!? work or not work....
and WHY x14 give the IDOT nummer 880 Mhz and x15 980 Ghz ? this is ONLY a BIOS problem.... to fixit!!!
so..I not belive MSI have not to do, with this bios...

MSI KT4AV and PSU FAN connector?

MSI KT4AV has 2 fan connectors: CPU FAN and System FAN. What about PSU FAN - is there PSU fan connector on this mobo? Can I connect PSU Fan to System Fan connector?
LeHardi
Jarek Kus

I've read that PSU Fan is not powered from Fan Connector, but it's only uses it to measure RPM of PSU Fan. RPM of PSU fans is controlled by PSU (Chieftec 360W HPC-360-202 DF). Is amperage so important in this situation? Sorry, if it's lame question but I don't know too much about PSU's. ;-)
