Anybody Know How

Post by Captain Kremen »

To get a MSI KT4 Ultrea board working???? :evil: :evil: anybody got one?
It wont even install the damn operating system properly :evil: :evil: :evil: something to do with the blue tooth technology onboard i think It falls over with win 98 during the detect hardware stage and sends win 2000 insane I am considering nailing it to the wall as a piece of modern artwork at the moment.
I have built about 17 PC's recently and never had any problems (usually sticking to ASUS or ABIT boards) I thought everybody is raving about MSI boards at the moment I'll give em a go. -NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! I,m not even impressed by the bios setup they are using you have to manually tell it you have a XP 1900 chip by imputting the correct multplyer and FSB setting it doesnt have a drop down setting

Well having had two MSI boards in my history of comp building, and both of them going tits up just outside the warranty period, I wouldn't touch another one with a 40' pole.

Whats your graphics card? I read that a radeon 9700/9700 pro isn't fully compatible with 8x AGP motherboards yet. Only when the motherboards get a more updated bios will it be fully compatible.
