Issues with Asus A7V333 mobo

Hi all, I just installed a new system with the Asus A7V333 motherboard, and I have a few issues. First, my old keyboard no longer seems to work with the A7V333. When I try to go into the BIOS by tapping the Delete key, nothing happens. I made sure that it was plugged in correctly in the PS/2...

Divx clips repeatedly crash my computer

When I'm playing video clips encoded in DIVX with Windows Media Player, it always crashes my computer. At random points, I'll get the blue screen of death. Other times, it just freezes the computer at a frame. This only happens if I copy a clip to my harddrive. If I read it off a slow 4x...

MSI K7T Pro2-A...

Re: Patrick Palm You say that you don't have any problems at all with your MSI motherboard and drivers, etc. Can you tell me how I can get VIA's IDE Tool to work? It doesn't work on my comp, doesn't recognize that I have VIA Bus mastering installed. I tried reinstalling, uninstalling...

VIA IDE Bus Master drivers - Miniport or VxD?

Hi. What is the difference between Miniport and VxD options on the VIA 4in1 IDE Bus Master drivers? I tried Miniport, and it updated the Bus Master device in Win98SE Device Manager. It also made it so that Windows would recognize my IBM 75GXP harddrive (lists it as an IBM drive now, under...

MSI K7T Pro2-A...

Re: Patrick Palm Ok, here are some answerings to your questions about my original post: The problem I experienced was related to the harddrive and IDE DMA Bus Mastering drivers. To be very specific, the system locks up/crashes during harddrive intensive usage/activies. Sometimes the system...

MSI K7T Pro2-A...

I have an MSI Pro2-A. I've also had all the problems everyone else had. I found the cause: VIA's 4in1 Drivers. DO NOT install the 4in1 Drivers off the CD that comes with the MSI board. That's the problem...those drivers are buggy and cause crashes, etc. Instead, directly download the newest VIA...

Msi K7T Pro2A problem resolved, but what about ATA100?!

After a while, I tried to delete the files again and for some reason it worked this time. Oh well, I dunno what it was. Anyway, I'm running 4.28 drivers now, except IDE Bus Master...I'm using the 3.01 drivers off of Soltek's website for that. Still 66.9 burst read, but at least everything...

Invalid files on my harddisk and I can't delete them!

While unzipping some files, a bunch of invalid files were created for some reason. They have junk characters in their name, so when I tried to delete them, it wouldn't let me. It keeps saying "File System Error." So I did a ScanDisk and it found problems... I made it fix them, and...

Msi K7T Pro2A problem resolved, but what about ATA100?!

Guilty: No second harddisk on the cable. Yes it's ATA100 cable, got it with the motherboard. By the way, I hope the VxD drivers didn't just cause this problem: I just unzipped a lot of files to test if the harddrive would still crash or not. And it made a bunch of invalid files for some...

Msi K7T Pro2A problem resolved, but what about ATA100?!

Guilty: You see, you're still getting higher burst read than me, and you have the same Harddisk as me. The 4in1 version I have installed right now is v4.28v, instead of 4.28b. I'm not sure if theres any difference between them, since they both have the same RELEASE.DOC I'm still boggled at how...

Msi K7T Pro2A problem resolved, but what about ATA100?!

Guilty: What do you score on HD Tach now? What seek time, burst read, and CPU usage? Using Miniport, I got 12.5 seek, 66.1 burst read, 21.2% CPU usage. I just uninstalled and reinstalled VxD, now I get 12.7 seek, 66.9 burst read, 7.7% CPU usage. So CPU usage definately went down a lot, but...

Msi K7T Pro2A problem resolved, but what about ATA100?!

Vinny_N: I understand about the seek rate inaccuracy. I'm not concerned about that, I'm more concerned about the burst rate speed. And yes, others with my same IBM 75GXP ATA100 drive have gotten about 77 burst rate speed. Guilty: Your right, I installed Miniport, because I was told that it...

Msi K7T Pro2A problem resolved, but what about ATA100?!

toph99: I'm not talking about the seek time. I read another post and they said that a seek time of about 12.5 is right. But notice the burst read time...it's only 66.1, which means ATA66. It's supposed to be higher than 66 if it's running ATA100, at least that's what I gathered. Others have...

Hi all, Thanks to the responses to my last post about crashing problems with my harddrive on DMA mode with MSI K7T Pro2A mobo, I was able to resolve the issue. What happened was that the 4-in-1 VIA chipset drivers that came on the motherboard CD were old and apparently buggy. After installing...
