Dead K7N2 Delta2 Mobo?

I hope someone can help me. I just loaded my new K7N2 Delta2 mobo a couple days ago. It was working fine. I turned it off for the night and when I tried turning it on in the morning it did not boot up at all. Nothing is working... no fan noises or anything. When I push the power on button on the front of the computer, the green light comes on for a second, but that is all. I have swapped out everything in the computer you can think of. Everything works fine in another computer. I replaced the power source and still nothing happens. Is it possible the mobo is shot?

"...I replaced the power source and still nothing happens..." Well, you suspect the P.Su, but you don't say a word about it, nor the specs of the one you used to replace it, so we can't answer at all. If you want help, you must tell us about all the hardware you are using in your PC, includding of course how much AMPS does both P.Sus. give to 3.3, 5 and 12v. rails.

K7N2 Delta2 mobo problems - no post!

Hy I am new to this forum.
I have the folowing problem with my computer: I use my computer for about 2 hours and then my LCD closes and it posts "No signal". I restart the computer and the screen is blank. If I reset the bios on my mobo then my computer starts running again - otherwise it does not post.(if I change the Video Card without resetting the bios it still does not start). Forgot to mention that it only starts correctly after a 5h of no power running through the Mobo - if I reset the bios earlier then it still does not work, also tested the Mobo with another CPU, with diffrent RAM and diffrent video cards.
Specifications:
Mobo: K7N2 Delta2 LSR
CPU: AthlonXP 2400+
Graphic: Leadtek Geforce 6600gt tdh
RAM: 1Gb Geil, (2x256+512) - same type (Value 400)
HDD: S-ATA 160GB Segate
PSU: 450 Sirtek
Audio: Audigy 2

Finger on North heatsink with fan, nice and cool. Finger on South, bare chip, quite uncomfortable.
I guess you could say I am a dabbler with digital audio. I expect it to be perfect, like high quality analog, on board. But digital brings a big problem, more in a moment. I looked at that XFI out of curiosity, not impressed, just a jump forward, but still major shortfalls in my opinion.
Even with analog, solid state has its problems although they have gotten much better but it has a record of being noisy compared to high quality tube circuits.
But going digital - problem- take this example. First, although claims are that no human can expect to hear a 24KHz tone, tests reveal that people perceive its being missing when it is dropped from the audio signal. Maybe we feel it through the hair on our bodies or the vibrations on our eyeballs. But to a true audiophile it likely comes across as that sensation of something being wrong that causes ones hair to stand on end and bring on the fight or flight instincts.
That being established that true audio should carry the frequency of a piccolo or cymbal and all the overtones, likely way higher than 24K, lets take a look at a pure 24KHz tone. If you take a single 24KHz sinusoidal wave and convert it to digital at a 24KHz rate, that sinusoidal becomes a very small spike. At what rate would you have to convert/sample it to get a near same representation digitally? (Admittedly I get a bit confused with band widths and sampling rates) But, just to do it in stereo, one spike per channel = 48K. Quad=96 And up according to how many channels, such as 7.1 actually being 8 channels=192. Some multichannel DVD's are encoded at that rate and some DVD players sample at that rate, but in the world of computer audio, although some of the Audigy's claimed 192, they split it between I/O.
The XFi seems to be taking a step in the right direction, that is doing a quite high rate of doing as much as possible on the card rather than everything having to move across the PCI buss. But according to a diagram I looked at, it still uses the computers RAM which means moving a lot of stuff on that buss. If the guts of that card are worthy, the next logical would be gobs of RAM on the audio card.
I am not sure what Intel's forray into ASIO was, but it got dropped as near as I can tell. It may have been a low tech approach to adding such infrastructure to MOBOs, sort of like their original roll out of AGP video, on board and used system RAM, but provided an upgrade path to better aftermarket AGP cards. And such approach with the audio was likely on the cheap to provide upgrade path for compliant audio cards, but because it sounded worse than current mid-price cards they could not get demand for it.
My thinking was that it's architecture would be the equivalent of creating a very high quality stand alone audio box(all work done inside), such as some available for a few thousand, and then interfacing it with the computer as a command controller, not processor.

Memory reading as 166mhz on a K7N2 Delta2

Hi,
I have just installed an K7N2 Delta2 mobo into a case with a 333mhz XP-3000 and put a couple of strips of DDR333 PC2700 memory.
I am having problems with installing Windows XP with file copying errors and blue screens at random.
Something I noticed before I go down the route of new PSU, BIOS etc is that the memory on the boot screen is saying DDR at 166mhz in Dual Channel Mode. Should this not read DDR at 333mhz.
I have tried some other memory (crucial) becasue I know that the current memory is only value stuff and this Crucial memory fails to allow me to install XP also.
Should DDR333 memory be seen as 166mhz on the post screen?

Hi,
Thanks BOSSKILLER.
I have found the memory test to show up thousands of errors so replaced with another type which doesn't error and it still fails to install XP. The only way I had to get around it and for it to be fine is to set the CPU to "By SPD" and that then works.
Interestingly, I put the failed memory into a MSI KM4M-L board and ran the memory test and it doesn't error. I am writing this response with a machine using this failed memory. It seems like a compatibility issue.
I still have "DDR at 166mhz" on the post screen so if thats right then I'm done.
Thanks for your help.

MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum + Corsair mem = hell

Alright, Last christmas I got an MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Mobo. I had an AMD Athlon XP 3000+
w/333mhz FSB. I was using cheapo generic ram which worked, but had horrible performance.
So I bought the TWINX1024-3200XL, Corsair 1GB(2x512) PC3200 400mhz DDR-Ram.
So........when I set that up, I got HUGE instability problems. While playing Half-Life 2, the game
would randomly go BSOD, which I didn't get with the cheapo ram. So I went into the options and
I changed the bios settings from By SPD (which set it to 200mhz fsb) to Auto (which changed it
to 166mhz after detecting my 166mhz fsb cpu), at which point the instability ended. But every
time I tried to run it at 400mhz, tons of crashing and BSODs in HL2 as well as windows. So I've
been using it at 333mhz for the past 6 or so months without any problems, aside from the fact
that I can't run my $300 ram at stock speed.
After reading some threads here and at other forums, I learned that apparently my
motherboard doesn't allow the cpu/ram to run async. Which would make some degree of
sense, since when they ran sync, both at 333mhz, I encountered no crashing. However, I just
bought an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ w/400mhz fsb and I was hoping that the problems would be
over. Alas, no. With the bios set to By SPD at 400mhz, Half-Life 2 (which is what I use to test
system stability, since Memtest 86, Prime 95, etc. All ran through all the tests and for over 24
hours without a single error, then the second I play HL2, it crashes) crashes within 1 minute. So
I angrily restart and change the bios settings, this time I set it to Auto, which is also 400mhz now due to the 400mhz fsb CPU. I was actually able to play Half-Life 2 flawlessly for about 45 minutes, I made it past the driving phase on the buggy, shot down the chopper, then I eliminated all resistance near the crane. Unfortunately, once everything was dead silent and I pressed R to reload, BSOD. >=|
Is my motherboard a piece of crap that doesn't support the ram, or is the ram bad? Has anybody else been able to run these two (MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum + Corsair PC3200 Performance Ram) together with perfect stability? Please help! I'm going nuts. =*|
Many Thanks!

well, for the errors. In half-life 2, after however much playtime, the screen will just randomly go blue, without any official windows message or error code, forcing me to manually restart with the reset button. It's done this for the most part. Other times, when I change the settings, the game will just boot me back to the desktop, giving me a visual basic runtime error. Oddly enough, when I set the ram to 166mhz fsb, the game is totally stable. I've also just updated to the newest bios 11.50 and tried all of the previous settings as well as the "optimized defaults" and "fail-safe defaults" all still result in the crashing.
Yeah, I've tested other games. The results were mixed though. certain games like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 would lockup, other games like command and conquer generals seemed to mostly be stable, with a few random crashes. The problem is that I haven't really gotten any true BSODs in games, I just get lockups. However, windows would give BSODs, but they seemed like they were driven by faulty hardware, since it would be random and would go away entirely once I underclocked the ram.
Other times in the past when I've run the ram at 200mhz fsb, windows would randomly crash when I was browsing the web. In those cases it would give me a stop message and an error number. But I haven't gotten then so far today. I can't remember what all the errors were, but there were about 2-3 random crashes related to ntfs.sys and other system files. So at first, I thought maybe it was just a windows problem, but I had just freshly formatted and reinstalled windows, so it seemed unlikely. And of course, the second I changed it back to 166mhz fsb, I was able to keep my computer on for a week, playing half-life 2, doom 3, command and conquer generals, as well as tons of other games and general web browsing without a single incident. So the problem, although highly vague, seems to be related directly to the ram, if just by the fsb change.
I dunno, these are really really odd problems, never encountered these before in like 6 years of tweaking my comps, so I'm guessing that it's either just an incompatibility with my motherboard/ram (in which case I'm screwed), my mobo is broken, or my ram is broken. I think my only real option left, now that I've bought a new $130 cpu to match the ram is to RMA the ram and hope that it somehow works. But the fact that it's been able to pass prime95 and memtest86 flawlessly makes me concerned as to whether or not corsair will be able to diagnose a problem, if there is one, with the ram if I do RMA it. sigh.
I'm not sure if my video card is underpowered, since I have a 550watt psu and the radeon 9800 isn't too much of a hog. But I think I may RMA that as well. damn, I dunno.
*update*
Correction, it seems that now I have a 200mhz fsb cpu, setting the ram to 6:5 for 166mhz causes windows to almost immediately lock up. I'm guessing that's part of the whole unable to run the cpu/ram async thing.
Also, when I tried changing the latency to 2.5 and 3.0, I got the following error:
Many thanks!

K7N2 Delta2 Problems?

I've just returned from my local computer shop with a replacement K7n2 Delta2 motherboard for my machine. I've put everything back together and booted up and I got a failure detecting the floppy drive - no big issue there, there's no floppy drive on my machine. So, I went into the bios, disabled the floppy drive, set the correct time on the motherboard, saved the settings and exited the bios setup and rebooted - now it fails the POST and I get a single green LED on the bracket (top left) and the rest are all red - I've just returned one of these boards to the computer shop because it was definitely dead, and I doubt they will accept that this board is dead as well. I've used the cmos reset jumper, removed the battery and rebuilt the system from the ground upwards, but nothing seems to work...
Any suggestions as to the caause of the problem and what I can do to repair it - or is it something on my system that's killing the motherboard?

I'm running the system on the absolute minimum of normal load - just the processor, one 256meg ram, primary HDD and the graphics cards - no other components in there at all, so I can't really see the power being that much of an issue. I'll have a look at the CPU tomorrow and see if there's anything there that stands out as being definitely wrong, but when I had a quick look earlier it seemed to be fine, same with the various cards I checked. I'll have a look through the slots as well and see if there's anything there which stands out as being out of place.
I've removed and refitted the mobo in the case a few times now, so pretty sure there's nothing there that is causing the problems either.
Thanks for all the suggestions tho' - to be honest it looks like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy a completely new system, which is something I really can't afford at the moment, but needs must and all that....

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum will not boot up

i have a new K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, a new computer case, and just looking to transfer my old hard drive that was on my old mobo to this new mobo and computer case. I am running XP pro w/sp2. i have installed a new dvd burner and a new cd burner. these items where not previously connected to old pc. I have a MSI-FX5500 video card installed as well. now keep in mind that i already have my old hard drive with XP pro on it, when i go connect all the devices and power on the pc, i am able to go into the bios, it recognizes my 2gigs of corsair memory, my hard drive is recognized, both my cdr/w and my dvdr/w drives are recognized, however, when it starts to load XP from my hard drive, a very quick blue screen comes and goes and i am unable to read the error message. I was wondering is there anyway to slow down or freeze the screen so that I can read the error message? Also, more information about the setup, since i am unable to load XP pro that i already have on my hard drive, I am unable to install the software drivers for either the motherboard or the video card....... Any point of direction would be greatly appreciated. I have built several computers from the ground up before and this is the first time I have ran into this problem........ thanks

since the hard drive was set up on your old mobo then it'll not work straight off on the new one as the details in the registry will be different. One way around it is to boot up off the xp cd and select to install xp and then when it finds your old install on the drive select repair the old installation and this should sort it and will keep all your data thats saved on there.
Once into windows remember to uninstall ALL the old drivers and install all the new ones or problems will arrise and force you into doing a full fresh install.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum w/Version B.5 BIOS, trouble with post and XP install.

I have
K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
MS-6570E Version 1.0 motherboard
AMD Sempron 2600+
Elixir 500MB PC-3200 DDR (3 sticks, total 1.5GB)
eVga Nvidia MX4000 64MB AGP card
Maxtor ATA-100 PCI controller
I pulled everything else out of the box. I've tried the B.3, B.4, and B.5 BIOS and set everything to Optimized Defaults. I created a striped RAID Array of 4 WD 80GB drives on the primary and secondary onboard controller. The CD is on the Maxtor controller.
There are some problems I can't figure out.
1) The mobo identifies the CPU as Athlon XP 1100
2) The POST hangs just before seeking the IDE drives. I have to hit a key for it to continue.
3) The LED's on the D bracket have the top right light dark until the key is hit. Something to do with initializing the floppy controller.
4) The XP install fails to a blue screen just after hitting the F8 key to accept the license. The code is 0x0000007B.
Can someone tell me what these issues have to do with each other and how I can correct them?

Quote from: dmichael34 on 17-September-05, 22:42:56
The Maxtor controller was removed when you originally suggested to do so. The add on controller is an SIL 680 RAID.
I will try reseating the processor next.
I can also attempt a boot through POST without the array, as this shouldn't affect the boot process.
I did notice that the ctrl-alt-del on the LEFT side of the keyboard doesn't work.
However, the ctrl-alt-del on the RIGHT side of the keyboard does work.
Maybe I've been looking for a serious problem and overlooking the obvious.
I do not see how the CPU temp would cause a pause at boot until "any key" is hit... it sounds more to me like the system has paused to either look for a device or boot a BIOS on a device card.
If I am not mistaken, you are using a RAID card to boot windows? Is this correct?
If that is true it is possible the boot sequence is not set correctly in the BIOS such as "BOOT OTHER DEVICE" ( I cannot remember the exact term in the BIOS)
I am not sure about that but you could try changing the boot sequence so your RAID card is above "HARD DISK" on the list

Problems with K7N2 Delta2 Platinum

Hello!
Just bought new mobo, MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum and I am trying to get it working. My problem: Computer starts OK but there's no signal from GPU and no diagnose sound (the beeb when the computer starts). No picture nor sound. What should I do? I've tried another Graphics card but it didn't help. Should I jumper the processor somehow?
Technical specs:
-AMD Athlon 3000plus
-MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
-1 gig 400Mhz Samsung DDR-RAM
-Antec Sonata case and TruePower 380W Power
-Ati Radeon X800 Pro GPU
The probelm might be in the PSU's 12V line, because I had a problem plugging it to the mobo. It didn't go to the bottom, I had to put some force for the effort .
Thanks you all trying to manage this for me

K7N2 Delta2-LSR doesn't POST

Hi there, sorry before if anyone had asked this question before,
I have a system
K7N2 Delta2-LSR
Sempron 2600+
Adata Vitesta 2x256Mb
Winfast A250LE TD Ti4200
PATA hard drive...
i just tried to oc this system,
before : Sempron 2600+ @1833MHz, fsb 166, ram timing auto, vcore default 1.5V
1st trial : FSB 185, ram timing auto, vcore 1.55V, POST success, but i didn't boot to OS, entering setup again, wanna try higher FSB
2nd trial : at FSB 188, ram timing auto (i only changed FSB and vcore), vcore still 1.55V, my system didn't POST...
I tried to clear cmos, by moved the jumper, but it still didn't POST. Anybody help me pliz, what problem did i face?
Thank's

Quote from: HenryW on 11-August-07, 00:27:10
Do you have the manual that came with the motherboard? What kind of RAM do you have ( PC2700-333Mhz or PC3200-400Mhz)? If you are going to be increasing FSB you should have PC3200.
You will need to set the jumper on J10 to pins 2-3 (safe mode) restart PC and reset BIOS to default settings. Next turn off PC & set J10 jumper back to pins 1-2.
Before attempting to overclock again come back here for advice.
Yup, i have ram, DDR 500, but i run it at fsb 166.
what i tried is FSB at 190 Vcore 1.7V (default 1.6V) ram timing 2-3-3-7 T1
but the cpu temp is 52C (on bios)... is this normal? i only use the stock cooling HSF...
at FSB 166, temp is 47C. But i touch the HSF, not so hot like that temp, is the sensor wrong?
Anyway, on the socket A, there is an electric ribbon (sorry, i don't know the name...i name it my self ), is that the sensor for the cpu temp?
"J10" is nothing on my MoBo, i use "insert" while pressing power button, it worked just the same like "J10" works...

MSI K7N2 Delta2-FSR & Dual Memory Problems

Just recently I decided to upgrade my girlfriend's computer for her. Upgrade new PROC, MOBO, MEM. The proc is a AMD Athlon BARTON 3000+ OEM, Mobo is the MSI K7N2 Delta2-FSR and MEM is from PQI both are dual channel and in same package (identical) 512MB x 2. I thought it was an easy set up and everything and everything in terms of hook-ups was... I loaded XP and it gave me a crap load of errors, but I manage to load all of XP. Then came installing Adobe softwares, it kept saying "installing...." in an infinte loop and then froze on me. I skipped installing Adobe software and decided to install World of Warcraft Game. When I loaded the game, it popped up with errors installing, but it managed to install. WHen time to play the game; however, it kept crashing, restarting, and freezing. I noticed the system was a little bit laggy even though there was 1 gig of ram. So as a Geek Squad tech I am, I started to tweak and mess with it. I figure it was the MEMORY and I tried it and thought it was bad memory...
Yes it was memory when I tested with MEMTEST86 for dual channel ram, It came up with RED ERRORS all across the screen. So I decided to test each stick individually and each stick PASSED! I even tried each of the different slots on the motherboard and it all passed as SINGLE individual rams. I figure the first test with dual ram was just some mistake, loose RAM or something, so i decided to pop the DUALs right back in, in different combination and I kept seeing Red errors all over as well.
So my conclusion is :: Motherboard is bad. I contacted NEWEGG, but they will not refund my money as it has been over 30 days. I wish I would've known earlier... Anyways, So im stuck with exchanging for same mobo or find answers, but I think doing exchange will not do any good if this is a known problem.

Quote from: DaveR on 28-October-05, 01:38:08
Just to confirm; they are fine together in single channel, slot 1 and slot 2? Dual channel is purple + green slot, i.e slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 3. Or are you saying they can't work together in any combination of slots?
there will be a label on side of your psu stating max amps to +3.3V, +5v and +12v rails, i.e +3.3v = ?A, +5v = ?A, +12v = ?A. For example my psu is: Antec TrueBlue480: 30A/3.3V, 38A/5V, 28A/12V
Maybe your psu is not up to the job
You did load the chipset and graphics drivers didn't you?
You are correct sir... any combination of slots 1&3 or 2&3 will give error.... each as individuals 1,2,or3 will pass. The PSU amps readout are as follow:
+5v 40a Red, +12V1 16A yellow, +3.3v 35A orange, +12v2 18a yellow/black, -5v 0.5a white, -12v 0.5a blue, +5vsb 2.5a purple, pg gray.
I have loaded the chipset drivers from the CD it came with, and the graphics drivers are from ATI.com latest version. I will try and update the Nforce driver from Nvidia's site, but I don't see the chipset as the cause of this problem.
EDIT: In any combination of slots used, the read outof of MEMtest is single channel. Only slots 2&3 will have a read out of DUAL DDR channel 128bits. Slots 2&3 Will still have errors though...

The problem is, that the screen is blank and there's no error beeps, when I fire up the system.
The D-bracket keeps giving me the 1-0-0-0 (Early Chipset Initialization)
So far I have tried:
Reseat the CPU, didnt help. (This is the 2nd (or 3rd) CPU on this board)
Tried diffence slot, for the memory.
Tried another memory type.
Tried another GFX.
In every case, the D-bracket gives me the 1-0-0-0.
Just tried to fire up the system, without the CPU/MEMORY/GFX, and still I get the 1-0-0-0 (Early Chipset Initialization)
Is the mainboard dead then?
Does anybody know of a solution, to this problem? Or any ideers at all?
Thanks

Hi there ...
I have more or less the same problem here
I have an old trusty K7t Pro V1 motherboard . I installed an IBM Deskstar drive ,
The mother board started to boot but hang on the IDE part .
re-booted and all I get now is the system beeping all the time , with red green red red ... (looking from top to bottom)
I got anothe board from ebay , installed it . all ok untill I connected my IBM Drive again , Now the same
Just beeps fast , and red green red red .. (looking from top top bottom)
Looks like some bhow this crap disk has blown something on my board ,
I think I have tried everything .
Anything I should try before binning it .
Yes the cpu is ok
Memory is ok
Thanks lads
Just wished my first post could have been a happier one

K7N2 Delta2-LSR Fsb issues

Hello everyone, I have a 2700+ xp 333fsb @ 2.158ghz (fsb 166 x 13)
Running on a K7N2 Delta2-LSR. Preparing for a lanparty I decided to try and do a small OC, so i decided to Oc it to 200fsb x 11 (2.200 ghz) I saved and rebooted and now it will not post. I have tried all known methods of clearing the CMos, including removing the battery and clearing the cmos, waiting in times between that, unplugging and doing all that, but nothing worked. After reading other posts it seems this problem can be fixed by shorting the j10 or j11 jumper, neither of those jumpers is on my Mobo, if there is another way to reset the fsb, please help me!!
ps. All other hardware that is non essential has been removed, and all the hardware was working before, i made no hardware changes before the OC attempt. Please help before i leave for lan party! (Friday aug 6, at 6:00)
(Edit), yeah setting the fsb past 166 went over the 333 limit for my 2700+ xp. So how can i reset this?

As some of you will be aware there is no safe mode jumper J10 on the K7N2 Delta2 series of boards. This has been replaced by the "insert" key method as used by Abit and Epox. To start your board at its default settings following an unsuccessful overclocking attempt you need to do the following using a ps2 keyboard. Turn off your machine and disconnect from the mains or turn off the switch on the back of the power supply. Press the front panel power switch several times to discharge any charge remaining in the power supply capacitors. Reconnect the power by plugging into wall socket or turning on psu power switch. Press and hold down "insert" on the keyboard and press the case front panel power switch. If you are successful it should start the cpu and memory at 100Mhz FSB. If it does press "delete" to reenter the bios to change your settings to known safe settings. Good luck.

Cannot get into windows or bios. (k7n2 delta2)

Hi guys
Ive bought new ram and graphic card for my bro's pc(mobo: k7n2 delta2), but when i changed them the pc only got to the screen of the motherboard with press del to enter bios and tab for post.
But it doesn't go in bios when i click delete, the keyboard is connected and the led light up when i boot.
I have tried to use the old ram and graphic card + reset the bios but nothing works.
Im really lost here, anybody got any ideas?

hello, provide full system specification, including PSU details.(can be found into PSU sticker) read Moan Guide
power down PC, remove power cord and repeat Clear CMOS Guide
check all power cables are connected to storage devices.
hit "TAB" key few times immediately after power on PC, to remove full screen logo and to see where exactly stuck.
i have cleared the cmos couple of times (take out battery and change jumper)
didn't think full system spec would be needed as it was working before i changed the ram and 3dcard.
but
its amd2800 cpu
1gig hyperx kingston ram pc3200
psu: 350watt
graphic card: club3d X1650Pro

sorry, but K7N2 Delta2 series does not feature integrated VGA.
your board will actually be one of the K7N2G nForce2 IGP series
now, if you want help from us, you'd better help us by posting full details of your PC hardware (preferably in your signature, like mine) as well as all background info on this problem you can provide
(and then edit the subject of the first post to reflect the correct mobo)

Dead K7N2 Delta2 Mobo?
