K7T Turbo CPU upgrade problem

I've got a ms-6330 K7T Turbo limited edition board.  I've been running a 900mhz Duron for years in this board with no problems.  I recently bought an XP1800+ (palomino).  I upgraded to the newest version BIOS, changed the jumper for the 133 FSB and installed the CPU.  The first power-up it hung on the post screen.  After that, I got nothing.  The D-led shows it is hanging at processor initialization.  Put my Duron back in and it works fine.
I bought the processor off Ebay and realize this may be my problem.  But it was from a reputable seller.  Is there something else I could try before trying to contact the seller for a replacement?  I wish I had another socket A board to try it in, but I don't.

Are you 100% sure you recieved a Palomino core?
You can refer to this chart, and compare the CPU to the pictures, to verify that it is a palomino core.
Also, insure the the heatsink is properly seated, as they will fit the wrong way, but will not make good contact with the CPU.
Did you use fresh thermal grease on the heatsink?
PC133 is required to use a 133FSB.
Try clearing the CMOS, and see if that will allow it to boot.

  • K7T Turbo & CPU upgrade

    Oops, is this the right spot for this post ? Anyway...
    I have a MSI K7T Turbo Version 3.0 Limited Edition motherboard,without RAID.
    (yes I know it's old)
    The AMD Athlon processor (1.1Ghz) got fried and I want to replace it. The board is fantasic and I want to upgrade the processor. What AMD processors can I use in this board ?
    The manual says 1.3Ghz maximum. I have seen on websites it will take up to 1.8Ghz. Is this true ?
    I have also seen it will only take Athlon, or Palamino.
    Someone else told me it will take the 1.33 GHz Thoroughbred processor , or some low Athlon XPs like XP1800+.... Help !
    Can anyone please clarify for me ?
    I want to put the maximum size processor in that will run with stability....
    ps. I have upgraded my cooling system !

  • 6330 K7T Turbo Limited Ed. Problem

    I bought a brand new 6330 K7T Turbo Limited Edition.
    It shuts down by itself within 10 minutes (sometimes even within 5 sec.).
    The temperature protection in the BIOS has been turned off and I've upgrade to
    the latest BIOS (V3.5).  I tried unplugging everything except the powersupply,
    memory, K/B, Mouse and video card.  But it does the samething.  Please Help.  Thanks.
    CPU: AMD Athelon 1.1 Ghz
    RAM: Kingston PC-133 128MB
    Video Card: ATI Xpert 2000 (Rage 128 Pro)
    400 W power supply. (Known good)

    It shut down completely.
    I didn't even have any HDD connected.  (M/B, RAM, CPU, Video Card, Cooling FAN, K/B & Mouse only)  I'm sure the PSU is good because I'm using it now (so as the other accessories).  the PSU is 400 W, 30A@5V, [email protected]
    I tried 3 different brands of video cards, 2 brands of memory modules.  They all did the same thing.

  • K7T Turbo LE IDE problem?

    Hi,
    I'm stuck here. I have an AMD Athlon 1400/266 (T-bird) running on the K7T Turbo Limited Edition mainboard, BIOS version 3.6. 512 MB PC133 SDRAM. 2 Maxtor HD's. My system is about 2 years old.
    In the last 2 months, the following has started to happen:
    Occasionally (say, 1 out of 10 attempts), my PC won't boot (DISK_BOOT_FAILURE). I know this in advance because when it happens, it gives two short beeps when powered up (can't find the meaning of them :O ).
    The problem is: sometimes the Primary Master is gone ("none"), but other times, it's the primary slave. In that case, the PC will boot but behaves very strange once WinXP is started. And sometimes, both master and slave show up as "None"  ?(
    The optical drives on IDE2 are detected at all times.
    D-Bracket is all green. I reseated the IDE cable with no result. Tested both the Maxtor HD's, no errors.
    So, what now? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Just came back from my holiday so I ran some more tests.
    First, I checked the drives one at a time using the PowerMax utility. 81GB slave is fine (tested alone).
    40GB master is fine 9 out of 10, 10th time it says "Please Perform extended diagnostics" and then it reports "Congratulations, your drive passed all tests!"
    A little weird....
    Looks like failing drive, but could this also be IDE controller communication failure?
    I also tried replacing the 80pin IDE cable with a 40pin cable which is brand new. This makes no difference other than slower system speed.
    Maxtor website has no info, MSI same story.
    Now what???  ;(

  • K7T Turbo LE and problems with IRQ routing Win98SE

    When I boot my machine (AMD 1600+ on an MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition), the BIOS reports me the following:
    SiS6326 AGP card: NA (no IRQ even if I enable "Assign IRQ to VGA" in BIOS, but that's not my problem)
    Startech NIC in slot 2: IRQ 11
    D-Link DFE-538 TX in slot 3: IRQ 10
    Echo Mia soundcard in slot 4: IRQ 5
    Onboard Promise ATA100 controller: IRQ 11
    2x USB controllers Via 3038: IRQ 3 for each one
    IDE controllers: IRQ 14 and 15
    In "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager", there's one big difference:
    The two USB controllers (Via 3038 PCI to USB) are on IRQ 10!!! The only way for Via USB controllers to be on their real good one IRQ (3) is to completely disable "IRQ Steering" in "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - System Devices - PCI Bus".
    To resolve this, I tried:
    - different Via 4 in 1 (4.32, 4.35, 4.36): no changes
    - Via IRQ miniport uninstalled: no changes
    - Enable "PnP OS" and "ACPI" in the BIOS: no changes
    - Tried all the combinations in "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - System Devices - PCI Bus - IRQ Steering" (except disabling IRQ Steering because like I said, it resolves the bug. Though, I want IRQ Steering to be enabled AND the bug resolved).
    So, if anyone have a clue, it will be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • L530 BIOS and CPU upgrade problems

     I recently upgraded the cpu in my E520 from a 2520M to a 2760QM. Though the cpu was not officially supported, it worked perfectly without so much as a bios update. It even benchmarks above passmark's average.
    Smash cut to ebay a couple weeks later where I picked up a L530 and a 3720QM in an attempt to pull the same trick on an Ivy Bridge system. I installed the new cpu and it didn't post. Just some beep errors.
    After doing quite a lot of research and buying a spi programmer I have tried the following:
    Updating the BIOS (beep errors)
    Updating the microcodes (beep errors)
    Flashing a coreboot rom based on the T530 (would not even power on)
    And flashing a rom with all microcode related data replaced with W530 code (still booted old processor, but gave beep errors with the 3720QM)
    So this leaves me with a question. What could I be missing? The sockets and chipsets are compatible. It has got to be a BIOS problem. Is there a CPU whitelist I am not aware of?
    I have not really been able to find any further information and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!
    The BIOS name would be companies bought each other.

  • K7T Turbo-R (6330 v3) & Athlon XP 1800 Problem

    My current system is a K7T Turbo-R that I've had for a couple of years now.  During this time, I've used an Athlon T-Bird 1.33GHz processor without any issues - very stable (I can probably count on one hand the number of lock-ups).  The power supply is a 300W Antec.
    I decided to upgrade the CPU.  I checked the CPU support status and found that the highest I could use with this board is an Athlon XP 1800+ Palomino, which is what I purchased (code on the core is AX1800DMT3C).
    After removing the TBird and installing the XP (along with a new CPU cooler), the system won't post at all, and all 4 LEDs are red.   :O  
    I reinstalled the TBird (along with the same new cooler) and all is fine again.  Figuring I had simply received a bum CPU, I tested the same XP 1800 on another system (a Soltek PurpleRay) and found that the CPU was fine.
    Note: The BIOS is at v3.6 and J17 is open.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    This reply is for Mustang (a bit late maybe  )
    The description of your problem indicates one or more failing capacitors on your motherboard. Check out this link for some example pictures of what that looks like:
    http://www.careyholzman.com/caps/thumbnails.html
    The reason i'm thinking about this is that i replaced 6 dead capacitors on my own K7T turbo last weekend. 4 of the 4700uF/6.3V ones had died (around the CPU socket), and both of the 2700uF/6.3V ones near the AGP slot. My system was showing the EXACT same symptom you are having. It would not boot after powering on with the power button, but a reset helped (this is at 1000 MHz, at 1333 MHz resetting did not help). This also explains why your old processor works fine, but the new one doesnt. Your PSU/power regulator combo is able to provide a stable enough voltage to the old processor with it's low power consumption. But with the new more power-hungy processor those big capacitors (which help stabilizing the voltage supplied to the processor) are missed :/
    Apparently a Taiwanese capacitor producer supplied a large number of faulty capacitors to motherboard producers like msi,asus, abit, etc. More info in here: (and lots of other sites too)

  • Problem with memory in k7t turbo limited ed.

    serious problem!! i've got mainbord k7t turbo limited edition with vhipset via vt82c686b. untill now i had one 128 MB memory installed. I want to extend my memory but when i insert another memory to another slot computer does not start... (led status i all red!) no metter to with slot i insert new memory (its the right pc133 memory type) and no matter if it's 128 or 256 MB. Witho only one slot used it work properly even with 256 MB. Problem occurs only with 2 or more slots sed... this memory works with no problems in other computer (different mainboard)
    PLEASE HELP!!!!
    thanks in advance

    Most times is due to incompatibility between memory modules. Best way to avoid it is to buy 2 modules same brand, or one bigger module.

  • K7T Turbo Limited Ed. and problems :(

    Hallo
    I have MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition mobo (on KT133A). Yesterday something strange happened. I was surfing the net and suddenly my PC rebooted. After reboot I saw that in BIOS test, BIOS didin't detect my hard drives connected to first controller. CD-ROM and CD-RW were properly detected on the second controller.
    I turn the PC off....waited about 30 seconds and turn it on. And everything was fine again. But in a short time it happened again. But now I heard something strange. I heard that both drives are stopping...slow down wnd stop. After a 1-2 sec. windows XP freezed and PC rebooted again :( And again there was no drives detected on first controller :(
    I checked:
    1. viruses - system is clean. I checked it with NAV2003 (within windows and dos - from bootable disc)
    2. I tried to plug those 2 drives (15 GB Caviar and 15 GB Fujitsu) to the second controler (first was empty).
    I asked some friends about it and one said that it could be power supply (maybe there is some instability or something).
    Someone else told me that it could be a battery on the mobo (I have has this mobo for 2 years).
    Or maybe it is a problem with motherboard? Maybe controller is damged....but...from the other hand when I restar the PC everythin works fine....some time :(
    System: AMD XP1700+ (not overclocked), mobo as I said above, Radeon 8500, CD-ROM and CD-RW (pluged to second controller), Caviar 15 GB and Fujitsu (pluggeg do first controller), Windows XP with SP1.
    I had no problems with that system befere.

    Hi
    I must check the type of that battery...but from the other hand if the battery was the problem it wouldn't keep all BIOS settings. Am I right? But it keeps.
    Power supply is 300W - it is a kind off no-name (I bouhgt it with case 3 months ago and there was no problems befere :( )
    I've already borrowed one - I'll check it later today (after work).

  • K7t turbo won't boot with xp1800+

    I'm tyring to do an upgrade from my 1.4 tbird to a xp1800+ palomino. I have 2 sticks of pc133 crucial ram and a 300W sparkle psu. I've been running at 133 the entire time i've had the 1.4 cpu.
    the bios will detect the 1800+ fine, but the computer always reboots when it gets to the "Starting windows xp" screen
    what could be the problem?

    Hi
    I have also bought a new cpu (XP1800+) for my K7T Turbo and the day before I upgraded the cpu I updated the bios from 3.2 to 3.6
    Then I upgraded the cpu, and have a lot of trouble!
    The machine stops all kinds of places, it is very hard/tricky to turn it on, some times I need to restart it serveral times.
    The led displays (D-LED) comes with different failure from stopping at early chipset initialization to testing vga bios and initializing keyboard controller.
    I found that the default VCore is not the 1.750V as required by the XP1800+ and that the motherboard only supports VCore = 1.700V, set this by manual.
    Then remember to remove the jumper on the board to work with cpu's at 133FSB.
    These things helped me a lot, but my machine was still very unstable.
    I have now downgraded my BIOS to ver. 3.2 and testet it for one day, and have not experienced any kind of problem, except that it does not recognize my cpu as a XP1800+ but runs at 1533 MHz
    I think, that theres a bug in the BIOS ver. 3.6 for the motherboard! ??
    This is also showed by the problems did'nt stop when I changed my cpu back to the old TB1000, and had the same problems as with the XP1800+
    So my advise:
    - set the VCore manually
    - remove the jumper
    - downgrade your bios
    I have plans to upgrade my bios 0.1 version at a time, until it becomes unstable, and then go 0.1 version back.
    Im writing a new thread on this subject to, where I will also write about my experince about the bios upgrades.
    Good Luck!
    Regards

First game "quake 3" works fine aslong as im constantly moving intill I have to leave it on untouched for a min or so. Then it locks up or freezes and all I see is a black screen. In  starcraft it will let me play for a good 2 minutes and then the screen freezes. Last game  I tried was black and white that let me play for a good 4 mins then everytime i tried again the time it took to lock up got shorter and shorter. Ive installed new bios and via chipset drivers and still nothing.
    Anybody got any other ideas I can try ????????????

  • Getting K7T Turbo limited edition what is the fastest processor it will run

    As the subject sugests my friend is about to give me his motherboard, ram and cpu the motherboard is a K7T Turbo-R (I'm assured this is the limited edition one) but he only has a slow old 1ghz processor on it. I've looked at the bios upgrades and I'm not sure what the fastest chip is that I can fit with the latest bios upgrade as it's written in funny english. It says: Support AMD XP 2400+ & 2600+ (K7T Turbo2 only) does this mean both chips are only supported on the turbo 2 or just the 2600+. My educated guess tells me that I would be able to fit a 2400+ as this is a 133/266 FSB processor but not the 2600+ as this is 333mhz. Please can someone help me I'm just starting to learn about computers and I don't really know what I'm talking about!

    Hello,
    If you are sure it is the limited edition then
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=25&kind=1
    "It says: Support AMD XP 2400+ & 2600+ (K7T Turbo2 only)"
    That lines means only the K7T Turbo2 supports the XP2400 and XP2600

    I have been over and through the website and I noticed that with the new BIOS which (3.6) the Turbo2 (which I don't have) can run up to a 160GB Hard drive.  I was wondering what the max is for the normal turbo.  My WD 27.2 GB drive is going sour and I want to upgrade to a Seagate 200GB HD, since I plan to use it when I upgrade in January.  Any ideas whether it will work without out major headaches?

  • How to adjust IRQ for PCI card within BIOS - K7T Turbo

    Hello,
    I have a new Diamond firewire external 160 Gb harddisk.
    In spite I have upgraded the BIOS for my K7T Turbo board to version 3.6 (by specs at MSI at least I should use version 3.4 to run 160 Gb HD's), I get I/O errors after trying to copy lot of data to the harddisk.  ;( Afterwards I am losing contact to the device and get exclamation marks within the system configuration.
    In searching for the errors, it could be the controller of the harddisk itself is not running proper, because I get NO fault by the firewire device within my PC, but just the Diamond controller + harddisk.
    To make a last try if I can fix it, I want to give the internal firewire card an own IRQ number. Now with PnP options, many devices are sharing the same IRQ 11.
    How can I set a fixed IRQ to the fourth (4e) PCI card within the BIOS?
    Looking to the settings it seems I only can manage it when it is an ISA card, but those cards are not used any longer in modern mainboards.
    Here are some screendumps of the errors.
    1.
    No problems after a hard reboot.
    http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/1_reboot_no_error_a.gif
    2. Closer look for the following devices.
    The contents of the red boxe within the device system shall disappear after the error.. The blue ones do get exclamation marks
    http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/2_reboot_no_error_b.gif
    3+4. Error messages after a short while when trying to copy many data (above 4 Gb).
    http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/3_Error_message.gif
    http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/4_Error_message.gif
    5. Errors within the system configuration.
    Input 1 do get an exclamation mark first, afterwards input 2
    http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/5_many_data_error_b.gif
    The input of the previuos mentioned red box "general volume" (one is of the Diamond controller), is lost.
    Within the file explorer also the harddisk volumes are lost.
    6. The log files show a controller error of the disk at IRQ 11
    http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/6_system_log.gif
    Because no errors are found within the 1394 (firewire) device itself, I guess the problem is the Diamond controller of the harddisk.
    But before going to the shop, I want to try to give the HD an own IRQ.
    Regards, Léon Obers

    Mmm. I just see some other options.
    The device called "1394 CF type II IEEE 1394 SBP2 device is an extrenal firewire Compact flash reader, not a Diamond controller. (It is connected, during the test, but not used for copying files).
    In that case, it could be, that the firewire card itself is the troublesome device. First CF-card reader is lost from connection (exclamation mark), afterwards the Firewire harddisk.
