9500 Pro compatibility with K7N2G-ILSR?

Anyone have this combo and if so, does the card work ok for you or are they not compatible? Mine does not seem to be working. My PC boots up with no picture while my ATI 9500 Pro is in the AGP slot. Anyon ehave any experiences or suggestions on this matter? Cheers! ?(

i am running original bios and latest catalyst, not one glitch so far. don't know how much you can see but if you can, have you:
- clicked 'update drivers' to do it via windows instead of the installer - ATI installers are notoriously bad under XP, it has never worked once for me - use the catalyst control panel to check whether the catalyst drivers have been picked up properly
- disabled the onboard graphics after installing the radeon?
- used the extra power connector - many people recommend using a splitter to split a line off fropm the hdd, i don't know, seems this should be bad but it has resolved problems for people. i think sapphire advise it, but i didn't see it in their instructions (i have a sapphire) even though they included the splitter.
- try changing init frist from PCI to AGP. should not make a difference but you never know.
finally you have the possibility of doing a clean install, or cleaning the registry etc.
if you can test your radeon in another pc, and test another card in the AGP - this will save you wasting a lot of time if it is just a case of hardware failure.
a also read running at AGP 4X can sort a lot of radeon problems with only a tiny decrease in performance (seeing as most of the work is done on the card itself instead of needing to go to main mem / cpu over the agp bus).
hope you get it working dude.

  • Raid problems with K7N2G ILSR

    I have the following setup and problem:
    K7N2G ILSR
    NEC DVD-+RW 1300A
    Seagate SATA 120gb HD
    350W PSU with "210" 3.3 + 5.0
    BIOS V 1.4
    2 x Hynix 256mb DDR 333
    I was able to setup the SATA drive as a single RAID drive and install XP pro.
    Now, 9/10 times, the system will not boot.  I receive a
    "No drive attached to fasttrak controller"
    message.
    When the system DOES boot, it works great, and I can leave in on for days with NO problems.
    I know the Hynix memory is not "approved", but since the system is stable (when it does boot), and assume its not a memory problem.
    The problem still occurs even after:
    I changes the SATA cable (data and power)
    I changed the DVD cable and slot (1-3)
    I even disconneced the DVD and / or Floppy.
    No change
    Help!!!!!

    I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

  • ...on-board NIC issues with K7N2G-ILSR

    After reading several posts on this issue, it sounds as if a ton of people are having problems with their K7N2G-ILSR on-board NIC.  My problem is pretty strange...  When i'm on the internet (WinXP Pro, cable modem/Linksys BEFSX41 firewall router), my NIC works fairly well.. maybe 90% of time.  I can also 'connect' to other machines on my LAN just fine.  However, if i attempt to transfer data between my K7N2G-ILSR and another PC, the LAN conenction icon flashes back and forth between 'connected' and 'disconnected.'  I also have this problem when i try to download anything...  It's driving me friggin crazy!!
    I haven't tried the MAC address solution (copying the NIC MAC address into the BIOS).  Before i give that a shot, does anyone have any updated news regarding this issue?
    Thanks for the help...  Mike

    I like to contribute a little. I bought a mother board K7N2G-ILSR upgraded my PC. First, I booted up with Windows 98SE most of hardware is working include on-board network port which connected with RoadRunner cable modem except not USB 2.0. I have decided to upgrade to Windows XP SP1. My first try of upgrading to  Windows XP looks okay for most hardware, then I found out that network is not working. After several investigation, I see no MAC address show on network driver property. I reinstall (restore from backup) Windows 98SE then network is worked fine. I memo the MAC address. Again, upgraded to Windows XP SP1, enter the MAC address into NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controler's property "NetWork Address". After rebooted the Windows XP the on-board network port is working perfect. This must be glich in nForce2 driver.

  • Great problems with K7N2G-ILSR onboard raid controller

    I have really great problems with my s-ata raid controller. First of all i had a 40GB HDD attached to IDE3. Worked really fine.
    Later on my system crashed and my raid controller seemed to be dead. (no "no array is defined" no "press crtl-f to enter setup,...).
    Then I attached a s-ata drive to the first s-ata interface. Suddenly the raid controller said: "no array is defined, press ctrl-f to enter setup". I entered setup an built an array an restarted my computer. Again: "No array is defined, press crtl-f to enter setup."
    Now my raid controller seems to be dead again cause it doesnt say a word again.
    Please help me if you can. (Besides i tried to solve the problem with updating my bios. I tried all versions from v1.0 to v1.3 but there was no result.)

  • Kingmax memory with K7N2G ILSR

    Hello guys,
    I have K7N2G ILSR maimboard with 2x 512MB 333MHz Kingmax memory. Whenever I insert this memory the system boots up once, but never again. When I insert 3x 256MB 266Mhz Sansung memory, the system works fine. I've tried BIOS defaults, everything!
    PLEASE HELP!!!  

    its easy to make little mistakes when building a pc, some manufacturers arnt always clear about anything, plus, msi havent actually told anyone that those types of memory dont work, so it's easy to overlook things, belive me i know

  • Dual Video Issue with "K7N2G-ILSR"

    Hello,
     I have an MSI "K7N2G-ILSR" motherboard with the built in video. I am having trouble getting the motherboard to work with two monitors by using the video that is on-board and an additional AGP video card. When we plug-in the additional AGP video the built on video stops working. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You

    Quote
    So I can use the on-board video and my second video has to be PCI and not AGP or I can get a dual video card?
    Correct.
    Take Care,

  • Audio problem? with K7N2G-ILSR board

    I have recently built the following machine :
    Motherboard : MSI K7N2G-ILSR
    Processor : AMD 2200
    Memory : Kingston 2 x 512MB
    Hard Drive : WD 80GB
    OS : Windows 2000 SP 3
    The problem is if the on-board audio is enabled, the system either blue screens with a STOP error where it can't find the audio system file ( which exists ) or if it does boot into Windows, explorer.exe will crash.  I have to go into Task Manager to start explorer.exe in order to see my desktop.
    If I disable the on-board audio, no problem what so ever, but of course this is not a solution I want to live with.
    I have tried to troubleshoot this myself : taken out a stick of memory, switched memory, updated the drivers to the latest, etc.
    Also another thing to note, when I finally don't blue screen, the Windows 2000 System event log will have 10-15 of the following error messages, "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0".
    I have told all of this to the MSI Support and they think it is either memory or a bad board not the drivers.  I have also burned in my system and no problems were discovered.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Yes, I have tried with SP2.  Currently I am using SP3, though.  I am also using Bios 1.3
    Here are my IRQ assignments.
    IRQ Number   Device
    1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
    3   Communications Port (COM2)
    4   Communications Port (COM1)

    20   OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
    I have disabled the Raid in the device manager, otherwise that came up IRQ 11.
    I guess I spoke too early about not crashing, this morning it took about 6 reboots in order to finally get to a login this morning.  I would get a STOP error about not finding the audio driver.

  • Some probs with K7N2G-ILSR

    Have purchased the K7N2G-ILSR. I'm very satisfied, but I have troubles installing everything.
    Configuration:
    AMD ATHLON XP 2800+ BARTON BOX  
    DDR 256MB PC-333 Marke PC2700  
    SATA SAMSUNG 80GB SP0812C 8MB  
    TEAC 48/16 DV-516E BULK TRAY  
    LITE-ON 52/32/52 LTR52326 IDE SMART
    * The K7N2G-ILSR does not recognize my processor (AMD Athlon XP 2800+ BARTON 333FSB)properly. This processor should work at 2083Mhz, I cannot get it higher than 1250Mhz (Can only select 166Mhz fsb). Do I have to upgrade my bios? I have one DDR module installed, 333Mhz PC2700.
    * After I install windows XP (during installation Windows warns me I do not use Windows XP certified drivers for the promise raid. But I use the disk provided by my motherboard) everything is okay. After that I install the promise raid drivers and the vga drivers from the cd. All goes well. Then I install the nforce chipset drivers and everything gets messed up. The computer crashes during installing the sound system. Seems like a serious crash. When I restart I cannot acces my dvd drive or my cdr drive. My SATA harddisk seems to be okay. Is this a common problem?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks you!

    Wonkanoby thank you fopr your quick reply. I'll try setting ddr/fsb ratio 1.1 I believe I already set the fsb to 166.
    I'm sorry I'm at work now, I can't look for my psu max amps now. I believe I bought a 350W power supply. That's all I know for now.
    During installation of Windows XP I needed to install third party RAID drivers. I used the disk that came with the motherboard. After windows copied the files to my harddisk, the system reboots and installs my hardware. Then I get the message that the drivers are not signed by microsoft. I assume those are the drivers for my raid controller, since I only put in the windows CD and the MSI floppydisk.
    After I click yes, everything installs as it should. Thats it for the windows xp installation. System boots, but needs drivers for VGA, sound, etc...
    I install the vga drivers, the raid drivers, everything is okay.
    But then I install the nvidia chipset drivers, which probably include the nvidia ide driver too. The system hangs while or after installing the sound dirvers.
    As for the IDE drivers: I already tried to rollback the drivers, but windows says there is no previous driver.

  • Tv Card With K7n2g-ilsr

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV GO Card for Christmas, however upon installation, the card will not allow the computer to boot up, the Card hangs the computer without even letting me enter the BIOS setup menu. Without the card occupying the PCI slot, the computer boots up just fine. I've tried it in numerous PCI slots, even one which was occupied by a 56k Modem, but the computer hangs in all slots, without letting me boot up. Prior to installation, i went through the usual procedures, i firmly grounded myself, and wore disposable plastic gloves to prevent static discharge or grime getting onto the actual card. The card was firmly attached into the PCI slot, but it would still hang the pc. Is there a IRQ problem with the card or the motherboard??
    My specs are as follows:
    MSI K7N2G-ILSR (with latest BIOS and Drivers)
    Geforce 4 Integrated Graphics
    AMD XP 2200+ Processor
    512 Dual DDR RAM  
    80Gig Hard Drive
    Windows XP Professional incl. SP2
    Hauppauge WINTV GO (the Tv card)
    Is there a possible fix for this??
    Thanks
    Khalid
    P.s is the TV Card just borked??

    Well, i have a 56k modem, which was working fine, i removed that, because i never used it. I replaced it with the TV card, and it hangs the computer on boot up. Ive tried them on ALL PCI slots, (with and without the Modem in one of the slots) but all of them hang the pc, and its annoying!
    I'll try glennvidia's suggestion, and see if it works, and no, im not using a PCI sound card, because the 5.1 soundstorm onboard is better then anything costing less than £40!
    Oh and one last suggestion, DO NOT BUY HAUPPAUGE! They still havent replied to my email! (it has been two days now!)
    Mustek is one of the companies that should be seriously considered when purchasing digital cameras! I bought a faulty mustek camera off ebay, and it was faulty, with no receipt, but they still gave me a working cam ;-) oh and they replied to my email within 24 hours, and very very friendly staff.
    MSI should always be bought as well, reply to the borked northbridge fan took 29 hours :p
    (oh and it was free postage as well!! with Gigabyte, i had to pay for the postage, and even then the northbridge heatisnk was dented!)

  • Confused with K7N2G-ILSR DLED reading

    I just put together a new system using the K7N2G-ILSR and t isnt booting. I am using the baord with an Antec 300W power supply, AthlonXP 2700+ and 512 MB of crucial DDR PC2100. witht he processor in it goes through the first DLED which is the top two LEDs red and the bottom two green and then changes to the top left LED green and the other three LEDs not lighting up at all. After taking the processor out it would hang at the first LED cycle which is top two red and bottom two green and in the bok it means that the processor is not installed proerly or damaged. The next pattern it would cycle to is top left green and the rest red which is early chipset initialization. Since it is hanging with just the top left light green and the others not lighting at all does that mean there is a problem with the chipset or a problem with the processor?

  • Problems with detecting SATA hdd's with K7N2G-ILSR mainboard

    The K7N2G-ILSR has built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller, and I have bought a Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card.
    The problem is if I mount disks to my new SATA PCI controller my mainboard SATA controller hangs...
    Is there a way to use booth SATA controllers at the same time ore disable the built in SATA controller?
    Got one SATA2 DVD-writer and 3 SATA disks.
    regards

    There is no option to disable the built-in SATA controller in bios.
    Have tried moving the PCI-card to another slot, but don't help.
    How my PC boots:
    1. nVidia Graphic card bootscreen
    2. Normal bootscreen (Memory check, IDE check, ...)
    3. Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card (finds harddisks if connected.)
    4. built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller (My computer freeze if harddisks are connected to the above SATA2 controller, but keeps booting if they are connected to this controller istead.)
    5. WinXP MCE (if my PC don't freeze on step 4.)
    Found some info about modding/adjust the bioses on this page, http://www.dstyles.de/bios/
    Mabe there is a solution there, to add more options to the bios or enable disabled options.

  • Apple Macbook Pro compatibility with HP EVA P6500 SAN

    I am submitting a SAN solution for a customer who is using Macbook Pro as a Montage unit, does this machine support HBA card for Fiber connectivity?
    My SAN soltuion is HP EVA P6500.
    Please I need answer ASAP.

    Thanks for your swift reply to the Apple/HP compatibility question.  Trust it will work when I buy MacBook Air. The HP app available at iTunes store helped us make our older Apple IPad print compatible even though the HP 6500 Wireless is not equipped with AirPrint.
    Regarding slowness of HP 6500 to reach "Ready" stage for printing. This is a printer for home use, so it not on a network. It always eventually prints.
    Your help is much appreciated.

  • Mac Pro Compatibility With Older SATA Drives And DVI Connectors

    I soon plan to replace my 5 year old G5 with a new Mac Pro and need two questions answered so that I will know what options i have for the transfer of older data and apps. The Apple web site for the Mac Pro includes the following paragraph which gives me reason for concern:
    Your Mac Pro includes four drive bays, allowing you to configure it with
    up to 8 terabytes of storage using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives, up
    to 2 terabytes of storage using high-performance solid-state drives, or
    any combination of each type of drive. Configure each drive bay
    separately.
    Does the phrase "using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives" mean that the Mac Pro will ONLY work with 3Gb/s drives or that it performs best with 3Gb/s drives?
    I currently have two internal SATA 250/300 GB Maxtors (Maxtor 7Y250M0 and Maxtor 6B300S0... both are 7200 RPM but I don't know the data transfer speed). Ideally I would get a Mac Pro with a single 1 TB drive, move one or both of these older SATA drives to the new computer, one temporarily and the other permanently in order to transfer data and Apps to the new machine. If this is not possible then the new machine will need to wait until after I get a new larger FW external drive to use as a data transfer medium (I had planned to do that anyhow). I need to do some advance planning for this so I need to know what to expect in advance. I noticed this possible wording ambiguity on Apple's description of the Mac Pro long ago, but now I need to find out the answer for sure. Apple, you need to be more specific with your words.
    Can anybody answer this question for me?
    My second question regards display connectors. Does the standard (no bucks added) display card include a standard DVI connector or only the newer Mini-DVI connectors. I think I see a standard DVI connector in the low res picture of the back of the Mac Pro but am unsure. My 5 year old Apple display bit the dust a year ago and I had to replace it with an HP 2009m display (mumble grumble) which does use a standard DVI connector. A new Apple display is too rich for my blood so I plan to continue using the HP display for now and need to find out if I will need a display adapter to go with it.
    Many thanks to anyone who can answer these questions authoritatively.
    For anyone who asks why I still run 10.3.9 on my G5, I can only answer response speed. New OS versions always act like a lead anchor on a machine with their added overhead and Tiger really does feel like a ball and chain tied to me... it just does not reaspond as fast as I do. I look forward to the speed of a new machine.

    Does the phrase "using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives" mean that the Mac Pro will ONLY work with 3Gb/s drives or that it performs best with 3Gb/s drives?
    Any commercial sATA drive will do just fine. 7200 RPM is not a requirement.
    WD "Green" drives have caused user complaints about "long delay until ready" when installed inside a Mac Pro, but are fine for backups.
    You are making the leap from PowerPC to Intel Mac. Eventually, you should re-initialize your old drives to GUID partition table for best responsiveness.
    Migrating your System will not be possible. Use the pre-installed System or Install a new System on a GUID-partitioned drive with the release DVD in the box.
    Migrating your Applications is a Bad Idea. You should plan on re-installing all your third-party Applications from their release discs.

  • MacBook Pro compatibility with old Cinema display

    This subject has come up in other posts, but I didn't find my problem. We've just purchased a new 15in MacBook Pro 240/4/320, OS 10.6.4. I want to connect it to a circa 1999, 22" Apple Cinema Display, M5662. This has two connectors, a USB and DVI. I have the DVI adapter to Mini Display port. Nothing shows up at all on the Cinema display with this connected. The display works just fine with an older MacBookPro 1,1 (Intel Core Duo) running on OS X 10.5.8; this hook-up has a direct DVI plug. Apple support thinks its an incapability problem and doesn't really offer any else...they don't support them anymore. Any suggestions?

    Hi Larry!
    I know it seems like a silly question, but I believe these older displays had a fancy protocol in the DVI cable that allowed them to power-on automatically when you turned the computer on. This may not be supported through the adaptor. Have you tried touching the small power button area on the front right corner of the display bezel?
    Regards,
    -Ryan

  • Macbook Pro Compatibility With M-Audio FW410 audio interface

    Folks, my old trustee PowerPC G5 recently blew up and hence I'm now switching all of my Logic / Audio setup to my Intel, Macbook Pro laptop.
    2 questions for you all...
    1. Why does my Macbook Pro not seem to recognise my FW410 interface (just flashes blue light at me) despite attempting to update the interface's driver (tried a few different options, none of which work)
    2. Presuming I can get it to work with my Macbook Pro, will the FW410 function, like it did previously using my G5. without the need for a power adapter, or will I need to use the 12v adapter? It's impossible to say right now as the Macbook Pro won't even acknowledge its existence!
    Much appreciated if there's any help you can throw my way.

    I find the creative suite to be painfully slow on my MBP (17" C2D 2.33Ghz, 2GB RAM). Of course it does depend how heavy you are using it. But basically I cannot use photoshop or AE under mac OSX, it drives me nuts. FOr light projects I just switch to parallels, they usually work smoother running under parallels with only 1GB RAM allocated to windows. ANd for serious stuff I switch to bootcamp so they get the full 2GB... cant wait for CS3!
