AGP 4x not working k7t turbo2

I've tried everything to get this to work. I updated my BIOS, VIA 4in1 drivers, I've tried the latest Nvidia drivers but rolled them back due to incompatability with my Tnt2, but nothing works. I searched this forum and found a regedit solution, the values it wanted me to edit were already in 4x mode but it is still reported in 2x mode. SANDRA reports that my Motherboard doesnt support 4x, but it says on the MSI site that it supports 4x and in the BIOS it has an option to enable 4x (which is enabled). I've done everything i can think of to fix this, tried several video cards, all run at 2x. The only thing I can thnk of that is lacking is my Power supply because its 250 W but how could that force 2x mode?
K7t Turbo2
AMD Duron 1200 100 mhz FSB
895 Mb Sdram
TNT2 m64
250 W Power supply

I've done several reinstalls of windows and all have the same problem. Rivatuner says my agp bus only supports 1x/2x but is agp 2.0 which is 4x as well. Hope this is of some help.

AGP cards not working

Hi.. and hope someone can help me with this.
I’ve read about a lot of info about problems with AGP ports on MSI boards but still cannot get a clue about my particular problem.
My specs:
AMD XP 2.400
MBO:MSI KT4V (MS-6712 ver 10A)
RAM: 256MB
Case: 400W
OS: Win2K SP3
My problem: Cannot use video cards in the AGP port. System still can boot and go into safe mode, but in normal mode Windows can barely make it after the logon screen. The system suddenly goes to a kind of standby mode (power button does not work), all energy activity seems to stop (fans too), and I have to unplug and plug the energy cord to be able boot again.
My tries:
1) Using a PCI video cards has no problem. Works perfect.
2) I’ve used 2 different AGP cards, booth with exactly the same problem: PCChips ATI 9200LE 8x and Nvidia MX440 8x. Suppose I can asume the cards are not the problem. They are new ones.
3) Used MSI Live Update 3 to update BIOS. It was succesfully updated, but problem remains.
4) Used MSI Live Update 3 to update Board drivers (even the AGP one). It was succesfully updated, but problem remains.
5) Modify some BIOS parameters like Fastwrite to Disable, AGP voltage to 1.7, but problem remains.
Thanks on any advice.

You mean I suppose not the voltage, but the ampères? And sorry, been at birthday party so I couldn't give immediate respons. The troubleshooting guide suggests these:
3.3V - 28A or better
5V - 30A or better
12V - 18A or better
And perhaps you can learn from this nice guide, below. Good luck!
"don't worry about agp 8x - i does not offer any significant speed increase. what you are describing seems to me to be related to the ati video card (that's what is experiencing the vpu error). steps 4 through 7 below might be all you need to do. give it a try.
start with flashing the latest mobo bios before you start if you haven't allready. I recommend stick with the 3.7 Cat driver (many people are reporting worse problems with the later rev Cat drivers) and follow these directions:
1) download and install the latest via driver (i know, you have it)
2) download and install latest soundblaster driver (if you are using a soundblaster audio card of course)
3) download and install catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
4) disable fast-write in bios (this was causing corrupted icons and cursor in windoze).
5) start-run and type in smartgart then enter
6) enable - pci read/write and agp read (probably allready is enabled).
7) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing lots of stability problems in games).
"apply", reboot, then "ok".

KT4V AGP controller not working

Hi Guys
kt4v Mobo
TI 4200 Gainward 'Golden Sample' 128Mb 8x graphics card
550W QTEC PSU
maxtor diamond ATA 133 120Gb and old 20Gb hard drives
Big problem - my AGP socket on my KT4V Mobo does not appear to be working. The computer screen went blank a week after I built the system. Funny multiple beep post and nothing on screen.
Sent it to back to the seller Watford Electronics who claimed there was nothing wrong with the mobo (did these guys actually stick a graphics card on it to test it? - I don't think so! )
The IT man at my work (he builds PCs as part of his job) cleared the CMOS and used an old ATI 'Rage' PCI graphics card to see what was going on. He overwrote the bios (seemingly successful 'cos the PC still worked with the PCI display).
Tried both the TI 4200 card and an old Matrox G400 card in AGP socket - same multiple beeps and nothing happening on the screen. Put in the PCI card - short beep and screen came up. Altered his AGP readings disabling fast write etc (recommended in this forum). Still nothing works with an AGP display.
He installed one of these little info display pieces of software which seemed to suggest that the AGP socket was being recognised as a PCI socket . Couldn't get it to read though and suggested that the basic problem (whether software or hardware) was in the AGP controller).
Can anybody out there help?

I flashed my BIOS to v1.9, and then the computer worked for about a day. I should note that during this day, the computer gave me the same problems it does now (bad CMOS settings, blank screen the whole way through) between boots. Maybe every third boot attempt was successful.
When I DID get into Windows, Windows told me it found a serious issue with my video driver (i think it was the driver it had a problem with) and directed me to Nvidia's site. It was at the point after when I downloaded the new drivers and restarted my system that it never turned on again (with one exception). Then the computer would give me a blank screen. As in monitor not getting a signal and flashing the green light as if it's not even plugged into the computer.
By experimentally pushing every key on the keyboard, I found that pressing F2 gets the computer to boot into Windows (I heard the Windows startup chimes and all, but still a blank screen).
Since the problem, I've had one successful boot out of hundreds of attempts (under same conditions, suprisingly), and have seen what it gets to:
The option to enter Setup by pressing F1 or setting default CMOS settings by pressing F2.
This explains why F2 worked. But why is it that it keeps telling me CMOS settings are bad?
Well, this time that the screen showed up, I took the opportunity to flash the BIOS to v1.8, hoping maybe v1.9 was faulty. No luck.
I've tried various video cards, both AGP and PCI. The monitor is fine.
The motherboard is new.
Please help me! Not a great first MSI experience. It was a great looking board, but cost more than $100 in CompUSA and is almost brand new!
Thanks in advance,
Jason

AGP 8x not working

I have a k7n2 delta ILSR and it appears as if 8x agp isnt working. i enabled it int he bios but my card will only go 4x, and 3dmar says Used/Available 4/1x-2x-4x

What video card?

AGP Acceleration not working!

Ok, I've searched around for a while and I coudn't find a solution to my particular problem, so here I am, at the source!
I'm not sure when I lost my AGP support, and don't ask me how. So I'm just going to give away some of my specs to paint you guys a picture of my rig's history.
Mombo: MSI 845GE Max
Gfx: Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb from Power-Color
This computer might be old, but I sure as hell know it has AGP support, being newer then a 386 and all
Note: I did have a GF2 440 MX 32mb, GF4 600 MX 128mb, GF4 TI 4200 128mb and now a Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb all on this mombo in the past, and if I remember correctly, I had AGP support somewhere along the lines!
Having installed the newest version of intel inf update, DirectX 9.0b and tried the MSI AGP drivers (which my computer didn't take kindly to!).
Anyone have any fresh ideas on how to solve my problem, do tell, I'm fisically going out of my mind!
[EDIT]Another thing, I'm running WinXP for anyone who was wondering that, because I've read that AGP Acceleration can be a payne on other operative systems.[/EDIT]

I think that your problem might be due to the high resolution that you are running, I would try 1,024X768 to see if that is the cause...By the way, Don't you experience a lot of monitor "Flicker" at 60 HZ? ..I would try the 1024X768, at at least 75 HZ...You might even be able to go as high as 100 HZ if your monitor is faily new...Your eyes will thank you, and you can always increase the resolution to 1280X1024 in the game options menu ,as that is what I do.....Sean REILLY875

(K7T Turbo2) Fuzzy Logic 4 in WinXP not working

hmmm it works fine on the kt3 ultra boards.....

K7T Turbo2 sound not working

The serial number for this board is:
MB VIA KT133A/5p3d K7T Turbo2 MSI
I upgraded my sister's computer for her thinking I was doing her a favor. Anyway.. to make a really long story short... I live in Georgia and my sister lives in Boston. I bought all the pieces (including this mobo I mentioned up above) and a new tower and put it all together. Before I mailed it up to her I hooked it up to my monitor and my boston acoustic desktop speakers. It worked beautiful... no problems. I mailed it out to her and she hooked it all up and she has no sound. I made sure she had it plugged into correct port in the back, and from what she told me she does. I had her go into the sound settings and make sure nothing was muted and nothing was. I even had her go into the device manager to see if there were any conflicts.. and there were no exclamation marks indicating any conflicts.
I thought at first that maybe it was disabled, but that can't be the case since it worked just fine when I hooked it up to my monitor and speakers. Does anyone have any ideas??? She is calling me almost everyday to see if I found out anything and I feel bad, but at the same time she is driving me up the wall nagging me about it. I need to fix it and it's going to be difficult considering I am over 1000 miles away. If I at least had some trouble shooting ideas, I might be able to walk her through it. I would truly appreciate any help.

1) make sure she has the speakers plugged into the right plug in the motherboard
2)make sure she has the power turned 'on' on the speakers

K7T Turbo2 Will Not Boot

I just purchased a K7T Turbo2 w/ an Athlon 1Ghz CPU for a client. The system will not POST. I just get a Red-Green-Green-Red LED Readout.
According to the manual, this means that the processor is not initializing.
I have tried different RAM, a different Video Card, taken the board out of the case, and everything else I can think of.
I don't have another processor to test with, so before I borrow one, I was wondering if it would be the processor, or if it would be the MB.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with a KT3 Ultra2. I took it back, got another, and SAME THING! This is whats happenin'.
One power supply would not turn anything on, plain and simple. The other power supply I had would power the board, but the power would come on after flipping the back black switch. No POST, no front panel buttons working, no g4mx440 bios, no speaker beeps at all. The LED pattern I had (at powerup) was R-R-G-G : init. hard drive controller. Doesn't make sense to me.
I'm stumped. I'm using a Duron 1gHz and a Samsung DDR 128MB stick. (the CPU and AGP card's fans also come on with the power.) X( Help would be great.

K7T Turbo2 - CD ROM not responding

Hello, and welcome to my blundering efforts. After reformatting with a fresh instal of Win98 I installed the VIAHyperion4in1453v.exe chipset drivers and immediately lost my CD ROM. Device manager sez it is there and working properly. Any attempts to use it have resulted in "L: is not accessible. Device is not ready." Now I wish I knew what the four options are in the 4in1 installer, I just checked them all, more the better right?
One clue - In the device manager there is a DMA checkbox in Properties>Settings>Options for the CD ROM. DMA was something I checked when the 4in1 installer was installing.
(Hint: I do not know what DMA is.)
I have tried removing the CD ROM via device manager but upon restarting I did not see the OS detect it and add it again.
Anything else I should be looking for?
Brandon

hey, thanks Wonkanoby. Worked like a charm. May the force be with you.
Next question!
The graphics card details on the k7t turbo2 page say:
AGP Specification Compliant
Supports AGP 2.o 1x/2x/4x
I would like to maximize my graphics card power but I dont want to pay for more than I can use. Does anyone have suggestions as to which card will do this for me or where a good place to ask is?

K7T Turbo2: will Matrox Millennium P650 work on it?

I'm thinking of buyin a Matrox Millennium P650 graphics card for my old K7T Turbo2. Any reason not to?
Here's the specs: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/cadgis/products/pseries/p650.php
Most notably, it says:
Card type: AGP 8x, compatible with all compliant AGP 4x and 8x systems (1.5 or 0.8 V)
I can get either this card or the p550 for $25, and I want a card that has DVI. Let me know if there would likely be any problem, either with the 4x compatibility issue, voltage, or excessive power draw. Right now I'm running a G450 DualHead, without any real problems other than slowness and DVI-lessness.
thanks for any assistance..

Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 04-December-07, 02:54:09
Isn't Matrox very expensive, partly because they say they are for professional image editors?
That is, it isn't for gaming.
Wow, thanks for all the helpful replies, everyone...
Yes, this card isn't for modern gaming, but that's OK with me - my gaming is of a different breed - I'm a professional poker player, and poker software doesn't require bleeding-edge graphics capabilities. But I want the card to drive two DVI monitors (current Dell 2405FPW at 1920x1200 plus future 1600x1200 monitor to sit beside it).
If there's another inexpensive option for a video card that will handle two DVI monitors well, let me know. I'm just looking at the Matrox because I can get a pretty good deal on it.
Thanks again for all the help. I'm glad I found this forum.

K7T TURBO2 DOES NOT SUPPORT HIGH DENSITY RAM

X(
It took three weeks of digging, but I finally found out why my MS6330 v5.0 continues to crash when I try to play games on it.
Despite what MSI says about this board supporting the AMD ATHLON XP 2100+, the K7T TURBO2 does not. In fact, AMD doesn't recommend any motherboard that uses 168 pin ram for use with processors XP 2100+ and above.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed with MSI. I've built my entire system around this motherboard, I bought a gig-and-a-half of PC-133 ram for this computer!
If I hadn't done any homework, and just went out and blindly bought components and hoped it would work, well then I would deserve to have a junk system. However, that is not the case here! I read (before I bought anything) MSI's compatability charts, and I'm well within the parameters stated there.
I just thought that I'd let any potential buyers know this info, so they can save themselves some grief. This seemed to be a very mysterious situation in my previous posts, I have a hard time believing that this forum has never seen problems with this configuation before.

Here is a link to NCP's website:
http://www.hexon.com.sg/hexon_tech/products/desktop_sdram.asp
Also, you should know that I LOVE working with my computer's hardware and other technical components. I don't often find myself with this level of frustration when doing these kind of procedures. Using a methodical step-by-step approach and keeping documentation of these steps usually uncovers the inherent problems of building your own system in a matter of a few hours, perhaps even days... but not months.
As you have suggested, I have, of course started with a barebones system (1 ram, lots, of fans, default bios, 1 hdd-fdd-cdrom) and these problems do not go away, even with the most basic settings.
This is what I've determined by using my AMD Tbird 1.4 CPU on the same motherboard, with the FSB jumper back in: The motherboard is not defective. I can run everything that I'd like to with this different CPU in. Whether the problems I'm seeing with the XP 2100+ are caused by changing the FSB to 133 or not, I'm not certain. However, changing the cpu and the FSB are the only changes that need to be made to see these problems return.
By the way, I can overclock the hell out of my CPU and get my computer to boot too. It just doesn't solve the problems I'm having, so I don't bother -- yet
I've tried a different video card, and I get the same trouble.
I've tried my ram in another system (one at a time and all together) and run memtest86 on it for 25 hours. No trouble there.
My PSU serves up 220 Watts across the 3.3v and 5v outputs. This seems sufficient.
I have a total of 9 high output fans in this system, and my CPU runs at a balmy 56 C while running the distributed.net client. ( I ran it overnight, with no problems)
Obviously, this is a graphics related problem, and adjusting texture detail directly affects the amount of time that passes before the game hangs or crashes. Less is more, if you know what I mean
I've read that this is a known issue with older VIA chipsets. The article was a little dated though, about 18 months ago.
If there is anything that I'm missing, please let me know.
I'll write more details later, if you'd like to help me troubleshoot this problem.

K7T Turbo2 MOBO not supporting processor

Hey all,
Just bought a bunch of new hardware here:
Athlon XP 2100+
MSI K7T Turbo2 MOBO
(plus other stuff that doesn't matter right now...)
My problem is, the BIOS is only reading the processor as being a 1500+ when it boots. The BIOS is the most recent version, everything's up to date, I can't figure out what's going on... ?(
Also, on top of that, I have no sound from the MOBO. It's enabled in the BIOS (onboard sound), and I've attempted to install the VIA AC97 Drivers multiple times, but everytime I try it says, "VIA AC97 PCI Sound is not enabled in the BIOS - please enable it and run the installation again." But like I said, it's already enabled.
Anyone have ANY ideas as to what's goin on? Hopefully the MOBO isn't pooched and there's something we can do about this...
Thanks,
Chad

But it's not even the jumper that's causing the problem - I upped the FSB to 132 MHz (the highest it would allow with J17 still on), and left the multiplier at default (whatever that may be), and the processor is now being recognized as an Athlon XP 2100+. However, when I change the multiplier to 13, which should be the correct setting for a 2100+, the computer refuses to boot, whether the jumper's on or off. In fact, if I set the multiplier to ANY number, the computer refuses to boot. It's only when I leave it on Default that it will boot.
Also, after I removed the jumper and did the above fix, my sound started working... but only for a few minutes. Then the computer crashed and it refuses to work again.
Any other suggestions?
Chad

K7T TURBO2 not detecting either HD (both WD)

Here's my problem...
I start my computer and it will not load Windows because it does not detect a bootable drive.
My motherboard detects both CDROM drives but does not detect either hard drive. I have the jumper settings on the HD's correct (Master - end of IDE cable, Slave - middle of IDE cable), plugged into IDE Slot 1 (using IDE cable). I've tried the following:
Setting all available jumper settings (Master/Slave)
Using only 1 HD at a time set to Master (removed other HD off cable)
Remove IDE2 (attached to CDROM drives) cable... MB detected no drives(!)
Using a different IDE cable (in case other one was bad).
The BIOS displays the correct CPU speed, RAM and CDROM drives, but it will not detect either HD. I am almost positive that I have everything setup correctly, I've successfully built my own system half a dozen times. It just seems that there is a setting or jumper somewhere that I'm missing (I removed the J17 jumper).
Could the problem lie elsewhere and the result is what I'm seeing with no detection of my HD's? It doesn't seem like my RAM would be the problem, as the system boots up fine, detects all attached RAM, but doesn't detect a bootable drive.
Here's my system...
MB: K7T TURBO2
HD#1: WD Caviar AC310200 (10GB) UATA/66
HD#2: WD Caviar WB300BB (30GB) UATA/100
CDROM#1: Samsung 52x
CDROM#2: TDK 48/24/48 CDR/W
FLOPPY: Generic 1.44 3.5'''
CPU: Athlon XP 1500 (Good heatsink/fan)
RAM: 256 PC133 (Generic)/128 PC133 (Crucial)/128 PC133 (Crucial) = 512 PC133 Total
VIDEO: Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT
SOUND: None (using built-in on MB)
NIC: D-Link 10/100
PSU: 400W COMPUSA Brand
One last note...
I used all of this hardware (MINUS THE K7T MB) in a previous system and everything worked fine together. My previous MB was a K7S5A and the reason I replaced it with the K7T TURBO2 is because I wanted a better board with more features.
I hope I've given enough details to my problem. I appreciate any help given, thank you and if you have any questions for me, I'll be checking this post often so ask away! THANKS AGAIN!!
- Aaron

I'm very close to buying another board, but the problem is, there are no other boards at my computer store that I can use. If there were I'd try one of them in a heartbeat.
I guess I could buy another board online, but my job is dependant upon my computer working, I can't wait a week while a new motherboard is shipped to me.
I know the problem is not with my board because this is the second K7T I've tried and both gave me the same error. The problem must be with a setting/jumper/other hardware component.
I've tried every Jumper combination possible, still no detection.
The exact error when my BIOS attempts to find a bootable drive (a HD to load Windows) is:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
