2d games are jerky (K7N2 Delta-L)

Hello!
Is anyone else having this same problem: I recently bought this new MSI K7N2 Delta-L motherboard and my 2d games started to jerk?
I can't anymore play my favourite game Worms World Party on this machine because It's unplayable jerky.
I updated my motherboard from ECS K7S5A but it seemed to be a bad choice. Before the Upgrade my Worms used to run smooth like a dream.
I have all the latest drivers and bios updates.
I have tried many different display adapters (NVidia/ATI) but nothing seems to help. Always the same thing.
I can't believe my machine runs worms nowadays slower than 233MHz AMD K-6 machine with unbelievable slow graphics card.
At least 3d games run fine, even though I don't like 'em.
I wonder if anyone has a solution for this annoying problem?

Yea I emailed your last fix notice to Glennvidia today...sorry I'm not able to keep up with it lately...business is good and it's growing again...

My ram is 2 x 512MB Kingston KVR333X64C25/512
( I said my memory speed incorrectly earlier )
Kingston is risky at best with these motherboards...it works for some but not for most ppl...
My PSU is Q Technology 300W
3.3V = 28A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
This motherboard is power hungry and a QTec PSU isn't going to hack it...you need to upgrade it badly...
I didn't install the windows drivers before I installed the ATI drivers. And I have System Restore turned Off.
BTW my ATi card is built by Sapphire. I have also tested ATI All in Wonder (Built by ATI) - same thing.
Sapphire cards caused issues early on with these motherboards...I don't recall MSI ever releasing a fix for their bootup initiation issue...I'm not thinking that this is the worst of your problems tho...memory and PSU are your worst issues atm...
My Windows XP has Service Pack 2, v.2149 (Also tested with Service Pack 1)
This won't matter at all...SP1 or 2 shouldn't have any bearing on your problems...unless of course they didn't start until you installed SP2...which is still in beta form just so you know...
I will test without sound card now. And then maybe reinstall all the drivers.
I don't think the Creative card is your problem as yet either altho I could be wrong...I would leave it out of the fray until you solve the other issues...
All in all you need a new supply first before you can go forward...then if you still have issues I would chase the memory...then I'd worry about the maker of video card, sound card then SP2 in that order...
Good luck!!

Where are the K7N2 Delta temps sensors located?
Okay I know one reads from the diode... altough the reading still seems to be low compared to other diode readers (like the 8K3A+ which gives you readins in the 50's).
Where is the other one located?

K7N2 Delta: what are the fastest cpu available?

I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR with a AMD Athlon XP 2200+
I am thinking about upgrading the CPU.
On the product page: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K7N2_Delta-ILSR&class=mb
it says that it "Supports 600MHz up to Athlon™ XP 3000+ processor or higher"
What does that exactly mean?
It supports Athlon XP 3000+ but what is the "higher" processors that it can support??
??? ??? ???

CPU List HERE.
You just have to make sure you have BIOS as shown near top of list to support any 200/400Mhz FSB CPU you might get (Barton 3000+/3200+ ~ 200/400Mhz FSB). The earliest BIOS's only supported up to 166/333Mhz FSB
I'm also assuming you now have PC2100 RAM and you would also need to upgrade to either PC2700 or PC3200 depndinding on which CPU you get keeping in mind that PC3200 should also work with the 166/333Mhz CPU's
Thanks for the link.
I see that the AthlonXP 3000+ has a FSB of 166,
Higher than that there is the 3000+ and 3200+ with FSB of 200.
Now lets see if i understand correctly:
My current processor 2200+ (1.8ghz) has 133MHZ = FSB 266
The 3200+ (2.2ghz) has a 200 MHZ = FSB 400
The specifications of the board say that it supports fsb of 400 so it should work with that processor.
You say i have to upgrade the memory also?
Im using DDR333 - PC 2700 that operate at 166mhz
I need to switch to DDR400 - PC 3200 that operate at 200mhz for the 3200+ to work? Or can i still use my current memory?

FX5600 with K7N2 DELTA game crash

I just got a MSI FX5600 256MB card. It was working fine until I tried to play a new game. The games always crash with this video card. I have tested it on Halo, Age of Mythology, and Prince of Persia (Sands of Time); I like to updated the drivers... and I guess I am having this problem since I update the driver to 56XX, I reinstalled the drivers from the disk... I downloed others from MSI Live Update... but the games are crashing... I know the games are prefect... the mainboard is perfect... but I am not very sure about the video card. Could any one help me to find any solution?

Strange phantom restarts on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Just wanted to see if I could get opinions on this. My MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo runs real nice now, but still, on occasion, very rare and intermittently, it will just restart. Not likely a heat issue, as the temps are nice and low. Also, not just happenning when I'm playing a game or anything strenuous. Did it once while checking email, once during install of an MS Office program, and once during a game. Could it be my old Gforce 2 MX 200 video card, as the picture sometimes gets wavy (like fine waves on an ocean), and the old computer it was in did similar things, or is it common with this mobo.

I had errors on test 4 not 5 with Winbond 2-512 Dual Channel called Hardcore Cooling and they said that getting errors with memtest86 may not mean that the ram is defective, it may not be compatible with the memory comtrol and they had me RMA it back. I also was not able to run the ram stable at there advertized rate of 6 2 2 2 it was only stable at 8 3 3 2.5
I replaced it with OCZ after talking to there Tech support people about compatiblety problems with the Nvidia chipset. Sense I installed the OCZ I only had one ram reboot and when I checked I was running the voltage at 2.5 and OCZ said that I should be running at 2.6. They also said that I could run it up to 2.8 with no worry.
Look on manufactor web site to see what ram timing yours should be running at and what voltage, Auto setting in Bios is not always the best setting.
If it still not stable at manufactor spec than I'd talk to who ever you bought it from about replacing it or refund and buy something thats on the Nvidia compatible list.
Most ram manufactors have a list of motherboards that there ram will work on but sometimes the newer boards like K7N2 or not listed yet as still working that out.

Data corruption on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Hi all,
Just got my new MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR up and running.
Got some issues with the memory running at 200mhz while the Barton core of my Athlon Xp 2600+ was running 166mhz, this had to be 1:1 (thx forum )
While running the default bios settings with cpu/mem at 166/166 fsb everything is stable as hell. I have been running Prime95 for 2 days now and using the system for dvd ripping/encoding, UT2004 gaming etc.
Then the overclocking began I'm using the standard AMD cooler that came with my boxed Xp2600+ so I didn't expect an FSB of 200mhz.
I stopped at an FSB of 190mhz...been crunching Prime95 for 18 hours now and again very stable.
Now comes the problem : Sometimes I get crc errors when installing a game or decrypting a dvd!! But how can this be? Prime95 is stable at this 190fsb overclock.
When using an FSB of 166mhz no data corruption or crc errors.
What can this be? It's not the cables because they're all the same as in my old setup which was running (ahum...walking) stable. PCI/AGP speeds are locked when overclocking...
Only thing I can think of is the power supply. I've read in a warning post from Bas that the Q-Tec 550w psu I have is crap. So my guess is PSU, but maybe it's something else I'm forgetting...Any suggestions??
The stupid thing is when I'm not overclocking I don't have the data corruption problems, but I'm still using the same crappy Q-Tec 550w PSU.
Help!
gr,
Remco

Hmmm, that's curious. On the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR product page Kingston memory is recommended
Ok, did a Memtest86 v1.11 pass at cpu/dimm 166/166 - no problems whatsoever. I think using Prime95 would have revealed memory problems...but will do another pass with cpu/dimm at 190/190.
Can overclocking affect the Promise Raid Controller?? It should be locked like the PCI/AGP but who knows...
Well, I still have to replace my PSU but I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem. What PSU would you recommend? ...and I'm also thinking about replacing the standard CPU cooler, any advice is welcome

Msi k7n2 delta ilsr problem

hi i have this configuration on my pc:

kingston hyper x pc3700 2x512 mb
athlon xp 3200+
seagate 120 gb sata 7200.7 hd
ati radeon 9800 pro excalibur ice q
i have 2 problems : the first one is that sometimes windows display me a blue screen with certain problem related to ati2dg.dll i think that problem is beacause the video card so i decided to update the bios , in the live update page from msi says that the bios 7.6 fix a bug with ati vga cards but after flashing and updating to bios v7.6 that blue screen with the same error still appearing so i dont know what else to do to solve the problem and the second one is that when i start any game or make the processor to work a little mostly related with video stuff the case speaker start to beep and the pc lags until he restarts with no reason i really dont know why if u can help me thank you

Foxtrotccs,
In the BIOS try setting the AGP to 4X and disable Sidebanding. Then set the AGP Apeture to 256. See if that helps.
Make sure you are running the lastest nVidia nForce Drivers and the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. There is still a possibility that the Kingston RAM is the problem.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Dead? Help!

Hey all,
Well, the other day I was on my computer playing a game when my mobo fan started making an odd noise (as if switching rpm), so I took off the side of my case and took a look inside. Everything seemed to be functioning properly, then I switched my cpu fan speed via the pci slot speed control. As I switched from High-Medium-Low, I noticed that the fan actually slowed to the point where I could see the blades spinning, at least for a second or so. I found that rather odd, seeing as how I've never seen a fan (especially a cpu fan) slow to the point that I could see the blades spin. Anyway, a couple of hours later, I shut down and went to sleep.
The next day I had my comp on for about maybe 30mins to an hour or so when suddenly I heard an alarm from the computer speaker, so I was like, ":censored:?" since I had never heard it before. It was evidently the temperature warning, which I had set to 70C. So I shut down within 15 seconds and opened up the side of my case.
I noticed that the cpu fan wasn't moving at all (usually I'd open the case in time to see the spin-down). So I turned the computer back on and the fan didn't budge, so I immediately powered down, assuming that the CPU Fan had died. Later on, I hooked the fan itself up to a free power cord in my sister's computer and booted up, along with the speed controller, flipping from medium to high to low without any problems.
I then did screwed the fan back to the heatsink in my comp and booted up. I went into the bios an noticed that the rpm was 8k, which is way too high for my fan (normally 5k). So i began switching from high, medium, to low once again, then I saw that the rpm reader in the bios went to 0. So I looked back in the side of my case and saw that the cpu fan was once again dead. At this point I concluded that it was the fan and was about to order the Volcano 12.
A day later I placed the fan inside my sister's computer on a free cord, yet again, and yet again, it worked fine.
I once again put it in my computer to test and this time it worked fine, even while switching between speeds. Unfortunately, I then noticed that the mobo fan was not moving, then began to move.
Well, I'm guessing now that it's simply the motherboard that has a short, since both the motherboard fan as well as the cpu fan have randomly been dying the past few days. The motherboard fan; however, has switched rpm many times in the past from 5k to 3k.
It could also be a PSU problem, but I have Antec 400watt psu and it's been working fine for the past 2 years, so I doubt it. I've had the motherboard for a little over a year. I upgraded my cpu from 2200+ to 3000+ in July. That's also when I bought the cpu fan. The motherboard fan began fluctuating in rpm noticeably back in April or May of this year.
Yesterday, I used the computer again and had it on for about 2 hours or so and I had speedfan monitoring the temps and the rpm. The temps stayed relatively stable: 48 cpu, 44 mobo.
But alas, the RPMs were totally [blame me for the swear filter] up. At one point, both the mobo and cpu fan speeds were reading 0, even though both continued to spin within the case and the temps remained the same. Then after 30mins or so, they cpu fan began reading again at 40,000-42,000rpm, which is obviously incorrect, seeing as the fan is rated for around 5k. I got/get the same readings in the bios, both fans reading at 0rpm as they continue to physically spin.
Also, during a number of times that I've started up the comp within the past few days, the motherboard northbridge fan wasn't spinning at all and didn't begin to until a few minutes into my windows session.
Also, I took out the NB fan and noticed a slight crack in the back of it.
I was considering simply just buying the Volcano 12 and the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum rather than RMAing the mobo. Then perhaps an Antec 550W psu, if necessary.
Any ideas what I should replace and in which order? And has anybody else encountered any similar problems with this mobo (at least with the mobo rpm, which has been a prob for about 6months on and off)?
I bought the mobo along with a 2200+ in July of 2003. I upgraded the ram from 256 to 512 in April 2004 (which is around the time I started hearing rpm probs with the mobo fan) and I upgraded the cpu in July of 2004

Could be a fluctuating PSU that's breaking down power to the MB. You have a whole lot of components dragging that PSU down. With what you have in your rig I would run either an Antec or Enermax 550W. Best way to be sure is to borrow a PSU or buy one from a store with a good return policy so that you can return it if indeed it turns out to be the MB. If I don't have your board here on my bench to test the only thing I can suggest to you is to swap out components unfortunately.

K7N2 Delta Onboard Sound Disable Question

I have a K7N2 Delta motherboard with a MSI FX5600 256MB DDR video card. I am currently using the onboard audio. Ever since I first built this computer I have been having nearly every game I play on it lock up and freeze. I am thinking that it is a sound issue that is causing this problem, so I want to install a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live. I have several questions that I hope someone can answer as I have exhausted all avenues and still don't have any answers. Here are my questions:
1. How do I disable the onboard sound? ie Which jumper is it and what are the
jumper settings?
2. Which PCI slot is recommended for installing the sound card so that I won't
any IRQ conflicts?
3. Is this actually an audio problem or is there something else wrong with this
motherboard or video card?
This is becoming very frustrating because when the computer locks up all I can do is just reset without shutting down. I'm becoming more and more worried that if this continues unabated I'm going to crash the hard drive and have to replace it only to have the problem persist. I hope someone can give me specific answers to my questions. Thank you in advance for your help.

First. Is it K7N2 Delta-L or Delta-ILSR (the one with an actual Soundstorm chip on it)? If you have the actual Soundstorm chip, use it! It will sound much better than an SBLive. Assuming you have the normal K7N2 Delta-L like I have:
1. To disable the onboard sound, first uninstall the drivers for it, then you need to go into the BIOS by holding the Delete key while you boot up. Then find the section "Integrated Peripherals" and in that section "Onboard Devices". Press Enter and find AC97 Audio and disable it. There are no jumpers.
2. PCI slots 1, 2 and 3 are usually not shared with other stuff like you AGP or USB ports. PCI Slot 3 is the ideal choice. 1 is usually covered by your video card fan anyway. For the SBLive, on Windows XP/2000, get the newest drivers from Creative Labs. The file is named "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" and it's file size is 23.3 MB (24,451,404 bytes). They have fixed the "nforce2 + gameport incompatibility".
3. The problem may be audio related...or not. Which drivers are/were you using for your onboard audio? nvidia or Realtek? Actual Soundstorm chip or crappy software codec? It could also be video card related. Fastwrites? 8x or 4x AGP?

K7N2 Delta (ILSR) incompatible with 200FSB?

Is the K7N2 Delta (Nforce2 Chipset) incompatible with 200FSB??... Ive seen many problems when trying to upgrade the CPU, and use a 200FSB in various forums. So, why does it keep hanging/crashing?? Might it be not really supported even though it specify it does?

From most of the posts I've been reading about this issue, the users are trying to build their systems using Value RAM from various manufacturers such as Kingston or Corsair among others...this just isn't a reality anymore in the high speed world of components...the Delta boards require a lot of power and high speed memory nowadays and a lot of the users are just unaware of these facts...
Part time builders are the most susceptible to this as they build a system every few years and think that all of the 'old' rules apply to their situation...what 'should' be isn't anymore as we continue to design and produce faster products that require faster peripherals to support them...
Getting away cheaply has been designed out of most systems and this really stems from the CPU mfg's and how MB designers have to approach BUS speeds and the like...
CDM has it right that you need to dip a little deeper these days for good QUALITY memory and peripheral items to ENSURE that when you build your new PC that you minimize these issues from the get go...if not then you're going to have a good run at testing this RAM or that RAM to find one that is cheap and will still have the speed capability to keep up with your high end MB & components...
Apacer is a good example of this...they're moderately priced and they perform very well in the sandbox with most applications that you set before them...overclocking them can lead you down a problematic path but overall they're pretty flexible from what I've seen...
Most of us here know that Mushkin is pretty infallable and will take pretty much whatever is thrown at their modules...if not calling their CS dept gets you the kind of help that most companies only dream about providing...
All in all the 'line' has risen and it will rise again and you'll see a rash of users that will complain that "This should do what I want it to do" but as is most always the case, you'll find that they're trying to build an underpowered system that requires fast peripheral components and a lot of them just aren't willing to dish out the cash required for a great white box system...
Yes I agree that it's a scam from the companies to force us to spend more of our hard earned dollars but that is the way of the world now, albeit that it's unfortunate...if you're really good at building systems tho, you'll find that you can usually come up with a pretty mid-range priced system that will blaze thru all the latest games but that only comes with buying components to play trial & error with...much like I used to do in my Computer Store years ago...these days I don't do much of that, I just buy the good stuff and save my time...

K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

Hi
MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
Bios V1016
Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
AMD Athlon XP2800+
2x512mb Crucial DDR
1xSATA HDD
Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's. The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
Thanks for any help.

Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$

The problem is that it takes forever to install and boot windows with faster processors for some reason. I origianlly built this system with my old Athlon 1.33 and it had these problems. I then tried a 900mhz athlon and it worked great, so I figured I damaged my 1.33 somehow. I ordered a 2500+ and a zalmann cpu cooler and now am back to where I was, when the system starts it seems very unstable and the screen goes blank for 10 minutes while its booting. It shows about 3 seconds of the starting windows screen then the screen will go blank for a while anf there will be no hard drive activity then it will come back about 10 minutes later and then boot. Sometimes the system will work fine then sometimes I cant even open my computer i just get the searching flashlight icon where my drives should be. I have updated to the lastet BIOS. Also while installing windows I get ocasional long pauses where it is doing nothing at all then it will just magically conitnue and do it in a fashion I would expect a machine of this speed to do.

Hmm not sure about the cable position on the CD drives, ill have to check that when I get home. All the jumpers are set correcly, and the hard drive is all by itself and its on the right connector. Thanks for the ideas, this problem is really killing me, I havent had these kind of hardware problems in years. The thing I dont get is why it works good with the 900mhz and not with the 1.33 or 2500+

Also, what are new MBs doing so that one doesnt have to deal with this annoying F-6 step? For some reason I think I heard new MBs dont require this F-6 step.
for his mobo, the drivers are absolutely necessary to be loaded when SATA HDD are used. that is due onboard sata controller.

Soundblaster live gameport not working on k7n2 delta-L

i have a k7n2 delta-L motherboard and i installed a soundblaster live sound card and can not get the game port to work at all. first i thought it was a bad card so i installed a different card and the same thing so ithen thought it was the game controller and tried a different one and it didnt work either . and yes i disabled the on board sound in the bios before installing the card. i have it in ide slot #3. seems to be the best to go with .i am running win 98 se. and all my drivers are up to date. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

fourhooffarms,
In the BIOS Disable the onboard Realtek Sound and then put the Live! in PCI Slot 3 or 4, then set the IRQ of that Slot to IRQ5.
Also list all your IRQs and every Device on each IRQ.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. Do list the specs on your Power Supply too.

NForce2 chipset in (K7N2 Delta), how can i know what type it is?

Ive managed to get my Athlon Xp 3000+(400FSB) CPU stable by updating my motherboards Bios. It then handles the 200FSB, until i play a game, or really heavily load the CPU. Ive tested running the memory at 400Mhz whilst running the 3000+ on a 333Mhz, and it works fine all the time no problems.
Ive then seen there are 2 (or even 3) versions of the chipset:
A previous NForce 2 Chipset that when it gets to the 200FSB it will just not handle it, because it buggy.
And a NForce2 Ultra 400 Chipset that can make the 200FSB without problems. My question is...how can i know which version i have?

IF YOUR RUNNING YOUR PC AND YOUR CPU IS 166 FBS (333) AND YOUR MEMORY IS RUNNING 200 (400 FBS) YOU NEED TO SET YOUR CLOCK/RATIO TO 5:6. GOOD NOTE IF U WANT TO OC YOUR SYSTEM W/OUT CHANGING YOUR VCORE VOTAGE THAT WILL PRODUCE MORE HEAT, AND MORE LIKLYTO RUN STABLE GIVE THIS A SHOT SET YOUR SYSTEM PERFROMANCE TO MANUAL SET YOUR FBS TO 187 MUILT. TO 13X= 2431GHz, 170 X 13 WIL GIVE U 2210GHz SET YOUR CLOCK/RATIO TO 1:1 TRY 2OR 2.5-3-3-7 GIVE IT A SHOT :lol_anim:AS SOON AS I CAN GET MY NEW MEMORY I WILL TRY. AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS THE BETTER WAT TO OC THAT CPU W/O THAT MUCH MORE HEAT. IF YOU DO TRY IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE OUT COME.
