Windows XP and MSI 648 Max

Can anybody give me a good tips, whats wrong when Windows XP installation (BSOD) failed on a computer with MSI 648 Max, I can see that is many in the some siuation as me. But no one of the solutions looks like i good one. Is it somebode that have find out the problem, or?

Its a good idea, but the RAM that I use is the same thats worked fine in the computer earlier. Its DDR DIMM 3100 TwinMOS, and thats a good stuff if I know it right?.
I have tried to take out the harddisk and placed it in another computer, and installed Windows XP. After that I placed the harddisk in the computer with the MSI motherboard, and I get I/O error and it couldnt red from the harddrive. I think that its the 250 watts powersupply, as the problem. I have looked i BIOS and under PC Healt, and there I could see that the +12 V and -12 V will only give +/- 11-11,5 V. Now I have purchase I new bigger powersupply, and hope that gonna fix the problem.

MSI FX5900 Ultra 256 MB and MSI 648 MAX

I have just installed my new FX5900 Ultra graphics card and when ever the card runs any 3D application for more than a couple of minutes, my PC will instantly shut down. The only way I can get it back up, is to remove my power cable from the PSU and wait about 20 seconds and then the PC will boot again.
I have checked the temperature of the card before and after the shutdown; and the latest Nvidia reference drivers show a GPU core temperature of 37 C. In addition, if I put my original GeForce 3 back into my computer, I experience no problems.
Looking on the internet, I have come across other people who have had a similar problem and this was resolved by changing the AGP slot to run at 4x rather than 8x. I have gone through the 648 Max BIOS and am unable to find anywhere where I can step down to 4x AGP.
Any Help Will Be Greatly Received.
Regards,
Macross

Thanks for your help guys. Whilst I have not been able to pick up my new powersupply, I have removed the Q-Tec 400W and put my old 300W PSU back, and guess what?? My PC has not shutdown since.
This power supply lark is totally new to me, and it does seem that a good quality 300W PSU can be better than a average 400W. I have never looked at the 3.3, +5 and +12 before, just the total wattage. Well, you do live and learn. Though it would have been nice if MSI put information like this in the manual of the card, or the WEB FAQ's.
I shall pick up my new 520W PSU on Saturday. Then I can put this new 5900 Ultra through its paces!!
Thanks
Macross.

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.

MSI 648 Max - Display Problems

I recently bought the MSI 648 Max motherboard, as my system needed an upgrade quite badly. To cut the costs down a bit, I’ve used some parts from my previous system (eg the video card which is an 2x AGP, 64 Mb, Kyro based card) but got new RAM, CPU and psu.
I put together the system (described below), loaded Windows ME, updated all drivers with latest releases, and the thing works but the quality of the display is really bad ;( . That is, I get lots of video artefacts (shadows, fading text, vertical lines, distorted colours, etc). The video card was working fine on my other machine. Also, Sisoft Sandra says that the card is operating at 2x AGP, as it should.
I am not overclocking; some of the BIOS parameters I used are as follows (based on the OPTIMAL DEFAULTS):
AGP Aperture Size    128 Mb
DRAM CAS Latency    by SPD
Timing Setting Mode    NORMAL
MA 1T/2T Select    AUTO
Primary Graphics Adapter    AGP
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA    NO
CPU/DRAM Frequency Ratio    by SPD
DRAM Frequency    167 MHz (for now)
CPU Frequency    133 MHz
AGP/PCI Frequency    66/33
DRAM Vcore        2.6 V
CPU Vcore       AUTO
The system temperature showed in the Health Status is less than 40 C (104 F).
I have tried the latest AMI BIOS (version 1.3), and then reverted to version 1.0, but I still have the same display problem.
I would really appreciate some help.

Problems with MSI 648 Max

I have problems with my sons MSI 648 Max Mainboard, everything seems to be alhright, but when I upgraded the BIOS version to the lastest. the computer starts to hang. I have also but a new harddisk in to the computer an some more RAM. I think the problem begin in the powersupply, its just a 250 W powersupply to the computer, and we have av 1.8 GHz Celeron. Have anything had this problem, or is it something I should think about after the upgrade of the BIOS?.

I know that 250 watt is to small, but the computer have function great in 2 months. But after i have taking out the old harddisk and but in a new bigger one, and placed some more RAM (256). After that I installed Windows XP on the new harddisk, but after that I upgraded my BIOS version to 1.4. After the upgrade of the BIOS the computer starts to freeze after a while. I tried to reinstall XP but the computer freeze under the installation. I have tried to switch back to older BIOS version, but I cant make it work. I have really hard to believe that the powersupply is the reason why the compter freeze.

Msi 648 max working with ati 9700

Hi,
I got it working (100% no crashes) today on windows 2k adv server:
msi 648 max (6585 early version), ati 9700 (1st version), and mostly the latest drivers/software, e.g. msi mb bios v1.2, sisagp47.exe, siside47.exe, ms directx9 (dx90_redist.exe), wxp-w2k-radeon-7-83-030120a1-007447c-efg.exe, control-panel-7-83-030120a1-007447c-efg.exe.
Before you get happy, now I want to replace the 648 motherboard with something better. It is a total waste of money to try running an ati 9700 on an msi 648 max.
Summary: I had to set my DRAM memory clock to 2.5, fast write off, and agp to 4x. There are a bunch of other bios settings and ATI control panel setting to keep it from crashing. If anyone is pathetic enought (like me) to want more information, then post your questions.
The only reason I'm posting my results is because I got all my help from people on this board. BTW I'm running Corsiar CMX512-3200C2 (at 2.5 sucks), and Antec Truepower 550w power supply (which is not p.o.s).
Good luck and save your money....
Thanks all.

Hi,
I agree. My Bios is at version 1.2 because I flashed it a couple months/weeks ago and that was the current version at the time. Now they have up to 1.4 but I did not need it.
Bye.

Make sure you get the HT Ready version. Utilizes the 648bo chipset and also has a sticker on the box. Im not exactly sure how to distinguish the 2 different types because the model numbers are EXACTLY the same.

MSI 648 max problems, please help

Just put a new machine together and I am having some problems, hopefully someone can help.
My machine seems to run pretty stable in OS, but dies when any game is played. It will crash anywhere from 2 minutes - 45 minutes in the game. Ive tried several games: C&C generals, unreal2, etc with the same results.

Technical Difficulties
Sorry a serious error occured
Thanks in advance

Well my roomate cancelled the memory test after 12 hours, so I dont know those results.
I do know that after removing 1 of the DIMMS, the machine seemed to be stable playing games.
I sure wish MSI would have stated it only accepted 1 double sided DIMM.. especially when the reccomend Kingston ram, which is double sided......
Me and my roomate BOTH bought this motherboard, while my roomate only bought 2 DIMMS of 512, I bought 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now it looks like we need to return these motherboards and get new ones... I HAVENT EVEN GOT MINE OUT THE BOX!!!!!!!!
Any reccomendations on an MSI motherboard (or any) that support double sided DIMMS? I am looking for 3 slots...
thanks...
Any other advise on how to get this motherboard to work with all this ram would help too, so we dont have to RMA through newegg....
Anyone from MSI read this board?????

Intel 3.06GHz on MSI 648 Max L

Hi,
I have a question; if I were to purchase in the future a P4 3.06Ghz processor which supports HT, will it work on my MSI 648 Max without hyperthreading just as a normal processor? I understand that hyperthreading does not work on this board (the one without the udated chip). I'm just curious if the processor itself is supported. I don't see why not, it should just work as a single 3.06 processor. Thanks in advance.
Razvan Scutaru

I have the 3.06 running in mine , and the board is the one that does not have HT.. and it works just fine..
The only thing that I have found is that you cannot run 400 mghz ram in it with spd setting.. you will have to go and set up the setting manual and then it will work.. don't ask me why I can't find it out..lol..
But other than that it is one fast computer..
also if you set the ram setting to anything other than the fast setting it will default back to 2.5 on the cas setting..
But after running bench marks I can't see any improvement by running at a cas of 2..
Also if you have a black screen when you are working with the bios you will have to clear them and reboot .
I had one that gave me problems but it was the PSU that was causeing it.. 400 wat but in real load it was only putting out 328 wats.. and that will not work with a 9700 pro in this board.. at least it would not on mine.

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

What show 2nd termo-controller on a MSI 648 MAX?

Hi from Russia.
I have 43 motherboards MSI 648 MAX (HT-ready).
My computers spontaneously freezes. I think, that this problem because of overheating motherboard chipset. Motherboard Monitor showing t80 Celsius on a 2nd termo controller. This is error, or really big temperature of a SiS chipset (t80 on all motherboards)?
And i have other problem in a Counter-Strike.I press ESC when i play in OpenGL mode and i have black screen with freeze (video GF4 Ti4200 AGPx8 )
Maybe anybody know how solve this problems?
Please sorry for my english.

Did you ever resolve this? I have a similar problem
Machine has been running with a 512 Mb/333 MHz module in slot 1 for 2 years with no problems. I want to increase the memory size. Tried adding all sorts of combinations of other modules, but won't boot. I went out and purchased a compatible Kingston 1 Gb/333 MHz CAS 2.5, compatible according to Kingston site. The memory counts to 1 Gb, and everything POST seems to work. I get a beep, and then nothing. Trying different slots, the same problem. The 512 Mb works in all slots, but not the 1 Gb.
What is the fix for this MSI memory upgrade issue?
