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 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.

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 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.

Just thought that I would let you know that I have the same troubles with no IRQ being assigned by the BIOS and due to this I am having troubles getting a DUAL monitor set up running!

MSI K7T Turbo Limited Ed. + XP1700+

Hi
I would like to know if my mainboard (MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition on KT133A) supports XP1700+ 0,13 processor?
I've already read on this site that it doesn't :( but from the other hand I've heard that some people have those Xp1700+ on the same boards and everythings works fine (with bios ver. 3.6).
So...will it work or not? XP1700+ 0,18 works perfect.
Regards

Hi, it may work but there is no official support for it.

K7T turbo Limited

Need help on setting up and using IDE3&4 on my K7T turbo Limited edition. I have not used IDE 3&4 yet. How do I set it up as a raid config. Does my boot drive still stay at IDE1, or does it move to IDE3 or 4 . Is the some type of bios setting for the raid?
I have tried to use the IDE 3&4 as ATA 100 controller, the drive showes up in the preboot screen and it is there but under win xp pro I do not see the drive at all. How should the drives be set as masters or slaves?
sorry for al the question s , but I'm on a mission to learn this raid stuff and make use of the board.
Cheers Mike H

I'm Still having a problem using IDE 3&4. I tried what it said in the forum " How to use your Raid 3&4. But when I install my main drive on ide3 it will not boot. The Promise boots and looks at the drive and see it there, but it says that the cable is only a 40 pin cable ( it is not it's a ata 100 round cable) then goes on to try to boot and I end up in this circle of it trying to boot looks for drives then just keep restarting.
If I try to add another drive to the IDE 3 or 4 as additional drives it will not see the drives. Now I have the Promise device in the device manager and the drivers are loaded. But in the bios I can select that it look at Raid then scsi, but the is no other place in the bois to see raid. Under first boot device it willonly show the usual floppy, hd 0,1,2,3 or scsi. Any ideas what is going on here.

PCI 2.1 SLot on K7T Turbo Limited Edition?

I'm about to get a Firewire Card but I'm not sure whether my MB : K7T Turbo Limited Edition (MS-6330 v3.X) has a PCI 2.1 slot. I haven't found it in manual either. Can anybody help?
Thanks
minurec

Welcome!
My Turbo2 manual doesn't specify either, but specs on MSI site for mine shows 32 bit PCI 2.2, usually backward compatible. Your MB is just one very short edition back, and I bet your slots are probably the same and 2.1 compatible. MSI shows yours as 32 bit, but w/o the #version. To my memory the 2.1 standard predates our MBs by a couple of years or more. I think you're safe to go.

K7T Turbo Limited Edition HD Max

I currently am running this setup:
K7T Turbo Limited Edition Motherboard, AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53 Ghz, 384MB PC-133, 27.2 GB WD, 40GB Maxtor, Gigabyte 5900XT, MSI 52x Combo, Linksys 10/100 NIC, Sound Blaster Live Audigy2 Limited Edition
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?

Alright, thanks.

K7T Turbo limited edition can't support Windows XP!!!!

i'm user of K7T Turbo Limited Edition mainboard, i treid to upgrade my OS to Windows XP currently and i found that the installation aborted abnormaly when it reach windows is restarting phase, and my PC will just hang without giving any response, i'm wondering my mianboard can't support Windows XP. Another prob i face is my hp deskject 630c printer couldn't supported by the mainboard also, i had tested on other PC and it works truly well. Anyone facing similar situation ?? can i solve my prob with update the latest BIOS

Hi!
There is no reason why your mobo (or printer for that matter, XP-drivers, both for parallel and USB interface can be downloaded from the HP site) would NOT support Windows XP.
It could be, however, that you need to update BIOS first. If you have a BIOS version prior to 3.0, you will have to update.

Hans
