Problem with K7N2 Delta ILSR?

Hi
Not sure if there is a problem or not but I have:
K7N2 Delta ILSR
Athlon XP 2.8GHz
512Meg Ram
Win XP SR2
When I check in System Properites, on the General Tab, at the bottom though it reports I have a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+, correctly, however underneath it says  "2.08 GHz, 512 Mb RAM".
What happened to the other 0.7 Ghz !
In the BIOS, the FSB is set to 166 Mhz as recommeded. If set to 100 MHz, in the BIOS the clock speed appears as 1250Mhz! Surely that's not right.
I know it wont run at the full 2.8 GHz but I thought it should only be a little less than that? Is this normal?
Many Thanks

  • Problem with K7N2 Delta-ILSR, please help

    First off, these are the specs for the computer to which I shall be referring in this post:
    K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    AMD 2700+
    1x512MB PC3200 Memory Corsair CM64SD512
    Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200RPM SATA ST380013AS
    ATI 9600 Pro
    400 Watt power supply
    Cendyne 52x cd burner
    Here's what happened.  I installed everything with only minor difficulties, mostly due to getting the hard drive to work.  They were worked through with little problem due, in large part, to this forum.  I installed Windows XP, and we ran a number of things with no problem after the OS installation.  The drivers for the video card loaded well.  3DMark2003 ran beautifully.  After I got that working, I went to put my friend's old hard drive in as a slave, so he could get the files off of it.  This seemed to work well enough.  Then we went to load the drivers for the motherboard.  When it got to the audio driver, we got the old "blue screen".  Then the computer reset and tried booting 98 from the old hard drive.  We shut down and disconnected the old hard drive.  Then we restarted to find that after the second screen XP would not begin to boot.  After some playing around we decided it best to reinstall, because with no combination could we get the OS to boot up.  So we reinstalled, with a full format.  This time, the first thing I went for was the motherboard drivers.  It stopped at the audio driver, again, and gave us the old "blue screen", again.  This time, instead of stopping the boot after the second screen, it came up with this message
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    \system32\hal.dll.
    Please re-install a copy of the above file.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before we decide what to do next.  Please let me know if any more information is required.  None of the bios settings have been altered, save to boot from the CD.
    Thank you,
    M.Cordier

    i would test ram

    and go to drive makers site and get their testing utility
    other possibility is a crap psu like them qtecs

  • Radeon 9000 problems with K7N2 Delta ILSR

    when i try to boo the system the monitor gets turned off by the machine when it gets to the windows logon screen... the card is a connect 3D card and is the 128mb variation.. any ideas whats wrong???

    Have you updated / backed out the drivers for the card at any point? I had this happen with a Sapphire card, it will only run with 1 ancient specific version of the driver.

  • Kingston, Crucial, Twinmos memory has problem with K7N2-DELTA??

    I need 2*256MB memory for my AMD 2500+XP.
    Kingston, Crucial, Twinmos memory seem to have problem with K7N2-DELTA-ILSR
    Is Samsung good?
    Please do me a favor to choose one brand that fit my mobo in this link:
    http://www.canadacomputers.com/memory.html
    I tried KingMax(SuperRam Series, since they don't have the ram with the model listed in the test report) and Corsair(CMX256A-3200C2) ,both no good for 2*256MB DUAL channel
    Thank you very much

    I think OCZ and Samsung, is mostly work memory,r ight?
    thx
    I think I will try OCZ

  • Fatal Exception on boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    Ok, my roommate just got a new K7N2 Delta-ILSR.  We got it hooked up and as soon as it got to the windows boot screen, a fatal exception error popped up.  We reinstalled the OS (Windows XP Pro), and it goes through the drive format and copies the files just fine.  But when it reboots it pops up the fatal exception error again.  We've tried restarting it, and it will go through the rest of the installation, then give the error on the next boot.  After this it won't go past the OS boot.  I've checked all the cables and jumpers, everything looks good there.  We've checked the powersupply, and it is a little lower than what I've seen people suggest here, however it's higher than mine, and I'm running a K7N2 Delta-L.
    As for memory, he is using Corsair Dual Channel PC 2700.  We're going to swap the power supply and the RAM to see if that makes a difference, but I wanted to know if there was anything else that might cause this problem.

    Ok, we've found a temporary solution to the problem, but it's not one that sits well with my roommate.  We've underclocked the ram down to 266mhz instead of 333mhz and we have it running in single channel mode instead of dual channel.  The system runs ok, and it's only locked once while playing Planetside, but that was about 5 hours into the game and I think it was because of a bug in the game.  If that's the permanent solution, then he'll probably be returning either the ram or the motherboard, depending on which one is having the problem.
    And as much as I love MSI products, I do have to say that I am very disapointed with their technical support.  I mean, honestly, it's pretty lame when you can't call on a friday to get support.  I can understand not being open on saturday and sunday, but to have nobody in the office on a friday is just insulting.
    Anyways, still looking for a solution to get the ram and the motherboard to work together at the normal clock speeds.

  • HyperX with K7N2 Delta ILSR

    I start a new thread because the topic could be interesting to other posters too.
    From the MSI website we can see that Kingston DDR is recommended by MSI
    but a lot of users here use other brands such as Corsair, Mushkin etc.
    WHY?
    and
    WHY MSI does not recommend Corsair and Mushkin?
    I believe both are reasonable questions.
    And now lets move to the critical question.
    Does the Kigston HyperX (PC3200) 400MHz (KHX3200)-CL2 will work smoothly with the
    K7N2 Delta ILSR?
    Any input is appreciated.
    Thanks

    msi_ole,
    I have 4 computers here in my home office with various configs in them...way too numerous to list in a signature...my main system that I use for gaming is what is in my signature...I have the K7N2G-ILSR (non Delta) board in my testbed system...I have an MSI Ti-4600 Video card in another one of them...so I DO use MSI parts but I really like the combo of what I show in my signature much more than any other combination that I put together with all of this hardware...The system below is the fastest combo I found and it's that way even with no OCing so why wouldn't I go with it?
    Also having this ASUS board let me know that not only MSI has issues with their nF2 chipset build because I've had to jump thru many hoops for various things with the ASUS board too...most of their problems are with the dual onboard network cards and memory issues which isn't really different than any of the other mfg's out there...I like to tinker with as much of this stuff as I can to see if it's one mfg or all of them and imho and from my tests it's NOT just MSI having this problem it's all of them...
    What I said about Kingston has been their norm for years now...I used to own a computer store and they ALWAYS back out when they have issues...it's their way cause it's easier on them than having to actually fix something it seems...I don't like them and probly never will because of my experiences with them in the past...this is just my opinion and take it for what it's worth...
    ALSO, if you had read my sticky post at the top of the forum you'd see that I recommend that you DO NOT follow MSI's recommended memory list as it could have been that they got a batch of modules that actually did work in the 1 or 2 boards that they tested them in...batches of memory differ highly in specs and those lists mean nothing to me when I buy memory anymore...gets me in the ballpark and nothing else...so take them with a grain of salt because NOTHING in electronics is absolute...parametric differences of electronic parts can leave you scratching your head for days when you just KNOW that something should work...it's the way it is...
    My background in electronics is quite extensive starting with my DeVRY degree thru Guidance & Control Systems for Jets and Missiles to Memory Testers & VLSI testers used to test Intel/AMD CPU's and the memory we use in these beasts that we love to play with so much...
    I've seen so much crap happen over the years I'm here hoping that I can help everyone and learn some stuff myself on the way...
    Cheers!! 8)

    You first need to make sure you have the promise controller drivers installed for it to recognize the hard drive. The system should have came with a floppy disk with the drivers on it........Make sure your boot order is floppy drive/cdrom drive/sata/scsi........boot to the XP cd after you have the sata controllers installed......then run the XP disk setup partion/format/install.........after installation you can set boot order as sata/scsi as first boot device.

  • Serius problem with k7n2 delta 2

    I have problems with my k7n2 delta2 does not recognize a AtlonXP 3000+ was working in this plate, doing tests of overclock,when to restart do not work the processor in this plate but,the motherboard (k7n2 delta 2) works with other processors, and processor 3000+ works with other motherboards, but Athlon 3000+ with k7n2 delta 2 does not work together, I tested of everything recover the bios, to update the bios and nothing, dont change to default, I hope that can help me beforehand thankful.
    tengo problemas con mi k7n2 delta2 no reconoce  un AtlonXP 3000+ que ya estaba trabajando en esta placa madre, haciendo pruebas de overclock, y despues de reiniciarla ya no quiso reconocer el procesador athlon xp 3000+, la placa madre (k7n2 delta 2) trabaja con otros procesadores, y el procesador 3000+ trabaja con otras placas madres, pero el Athlon 3000+ con k7n2 delta 2 no trabajan juntos, ya he probado de todo restaurar el bios, actualizar el bios y nada, parece que no efectua los cambios a default, no se que hacer, espero que me puedan ayudar agradecido de antemano.
    cuando tiene otro cpu enciende correctamente pero cuando le pongo el xp 3000+ no enciende el monitor ni marca ningun error solo no inicias, pero si enciende.      

    Why do you say Bios doesn't go to default options if with other CPUs Mobo turns on ? You must have in mind that each time you replace the CPU you must Clear CMOS to return to default options, and also you should clean HSF base and CPU die from old thermal grease. At least you know both CPU and Mobo works.
    Por qué dices que la Bios no vuelve a las opciones por defecto si la tarjeta madre funciona con otros procesadores ? Debes tener en cuenta que cada vez que cambias de CPU deberías borrar las opciones que entraste en la Bios como también limpiar la base del disipador de temperatura de la CPU y la CPU misma y usar nueva pasta térmica. Al menos sabes que tanto la CPU como la tarjeta madre trabajan.

  • Using extenal HDD with K7N2-Delta ILSR

    My board is MS-6570 K7N2 Delta ILSR. My board supports up to 160GB HDD. But i want to buy a 400GB external Philips USB 2.0 HDD. Does my board support this?

    tsavasci,
    Please don't use liveupdate to flash a bios...just too fickled and risky.  In the future, if you need to flash an MSI board, use a bootable CD or, better yet, try the USB flashing utility we have developed.

  • Win XP problem w/k7n2 delta ilsr

    I forgot to put this in my first post. I have a k7n2 delta ilsr and I'm using win xp pro. In device manager under Other Devices it reads:
    ? ethernet controller
    ? raid controller
    ? sm bus controller
    ? universa serial bus usb controller
    Did I forget to install or setup something.
    Thanks, Ron.

    Hi,
    Yes, you should install the nForce drivers for your board:

  • Sata boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR board and can't load the os to the sata drives. Both drives are new and raid 0. The load sees no drives and the raid drives don't show in the boot device menu in the bios. What have I missed? Is this possable?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mike

    so you made the array control plus f i assume
    have you set scsi second to cdrom
    then hit f6 as xp install starts
    and feed in drivers

  • Problems with K7N2 Delta mobo

    Hey I'm new here because of a problem I've had with the K7N2 Delta motherboard.  I've done some research and I've noticed the problem appear to other users of this mobo as well.  Before I bought this mobo I had a soundblaster live! value sound card and when I intalled this mobo I thought I wouldn't need my soundblaster soundcard so I stored it away.  Well after a few months my pantience ran thin on this mobo's sound problems.  For one, it keeps making this static like sound sometimes, so I tried to install my soundblaster sound card on the new mobo, I downloaded the lastest driver for it and changed my default sound driver to the soundblaster live! that I have but it made no sound at all.  After removing the nvidia nForce 2 sound driver I had on my mobo to see if it would help I still had no luck in making my soundcard work.  Is it possible that the soundcard is conflicting with the mobo's internal audial capability?

    Hi,
    Vampir, and welcome to the forum
    Try putting your your soundcard in PCI slot 3.
    Is it the -L version or the ILSR version motherboard you are using!
    Read this the thread at the link below then repost!:
    Nobby's Moan Guide
    Btw, how many IRQ's do you have 16 or 23?
    To find your list of IRQ's:
    Go to Start>Run> Then Type: "msinfo32" (without quotes). The "System Information" window should now be open. Click on + "Hardware Resources" in left pane - then on IRQ's in the list that appears below it. You should now see a list of all IRQ's in the left panel! Which can be cut and pasted if you wish!
    They can also be found in Device Manager!

  • [nForce] Problems with K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum and SATA

    Hi All
    I have a MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum with an AMD 3200+ Barton.
    I have 2 x 512mb Crucial PC3200 DDR400 RAM.
    I have a Samsung 80gb SATA hard drive.
    I am trying to install Windows XP Pro onto a blank SATA drive. The trouble is that I get into the Win XP Pro setup and it just doesn't recognise the drive. I have tried installing the drivers on the Flopy, but the drive just isnt recognised for me to install Win XP to the SATA drive to use as a boot drive.
    I've read the advice thread, but couldn't find my problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Thank for that. I haven't done that but I have got XP to recognise the drive to install to it.
    XP went as far as going to the lovely bright XP installation screen and has installed hardware. When it got to installing the network it just froze up and stopped working.
    Now I think the problem may be that I set the one SATA drive up to be RAID (striped) in the RAID config. I will disable this tonight and have another look. The thing that I would like to know is what setting in the BIOS of this mobo means that the SATA drive can be used as IDE? I don't have two SATA drives to use in RAID, so I figured that I have to get the one SATA to act as an IDE drive. I have SATA spreading disabled, but am unsure as to which of the other settings to change. Soz to keep asking!
    EDIT: I sorted the RAID config thing. Fomatted the drive and re-installed XP. Once again, it just stops once it gets to the windowsesque creen. It stops at various points during the installation, sometimes at the "installing networks" bit, sometimes at the "completing installation" (after coying data). I just don't know what to do realy. Might RMA the board and go back to my trusted old Aopen AK77-600GN :-(
    Anyone any ideas?

  • Problem with K7N2 delta

    Im having a problem with the K7N2 Delta. It was working just fine and i went into my Bios and saw that my FSB was only running at 133mgz. So i turnt it up to 200mgz. Now the darn think hangs and wont turn on. I tried to clear the Cmos and set the bus jumper to safe mode but then the computer just beeps. I dont understand what i did wrong. Any suggestions?
    CPU- Xp2400+
    Mobo- K7n2 Delta
    Ram- 256 Atlas Percision 256 Kingston
    Veido- Geforce FX 5700 Ultra
    Hd- 4 gig western Digital / 20 gig western digital 7200rpm
    power-300watt

    well you o/c it about 50 percent and it will not have it
    put j10 jumkper in safe mode
    boot and put it back to 133
    then shut down and put it in user mode
