Has my KT3 Ultra2 vcore reg gone bad??

I cannot adjust vcore in bios.  If I set it to auto, MBM and bios shows the voltage at the correct 1.6V for my XP2100+ Tbred.  If I change it to any other selection MBM and bios always reports 1.85V!!
At one time this worked properly.  With vcore at 1.65 I was able to 0C to 166 FSB, bios reported Athlon 2700+.  This setting resulted in 40C core temp, 1 degree higher than 1.60.  At 1.60, the system is not stable at 166 FSB.  At 1.85 which vcore goes to now, the system is stable at 166FSB but the core temp is 48 C, higher than I would like.
I've tried bios 5.5,5.6 and 5.7 with no difference.  I've tried clearing bios by both setting default and by jumper and still no difference.
Has anyone experienced such a phenomena.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Irv

But the only physical damage is a little plastic!
And the plastic has broken 2 weeks before the board died!

  • Has my M1424WR router "gone bad"? - and its replacement "bad" out of the box?

    I've had Verizon FiOS service for about 3 years now, and have had very few problems with it.  A few times I lost internet or TV during storms when lines came down somewhere, but that's about it. 
    The FiOS installer gave me an Actiontec M1424WR router and access port, with a coax connection to the outside box.  I have a multi-room DVR setup (2 DVRs that can "see" each other, and a third read-only STB), so as I understand it I have to use the Actiontec (good bye to my old Linksys router used with my high speed cable service).
    I have 4 computers attached directly to the router and up to 8-10 wireless devices (cell phones, tablets, wireless printer, gaming devices, streaming media players, etc.) on my home network.  As such, I reset the router's SSID to the same one I had before, with 128-bit WEP security (a 16 char hex key).  I also am "advanced" enough to know how to go through the advanced settings and start the DHCP address allocation to start at 192.168.1.100 to allow several of my devices (network storage drive, wireless printer, gaming systems, etc.) to maintain locally static IP addresses like 192.168.1.3 through 192.168.1.9 that reconnect when the router is reset or rebooted.
    All this worked beautifully for about 3 years, until last week.  The wireless network started dropping out - not just external internet access, but seeing other hosts in the home network - requiring a router reset to come back (or just a disable/re-enable of wireless service via the router settings at http://192.168.1.1).  However, the "Wireless" light on the router remains green.
    Even the wired internet connection (the computer hooked up with an Ethernet cable, right next to the router) would lose its internet connection for 5-10 seconds at a time before resuming.  The multi-room DVR functionality would get spotty, too - until a reset, boxes couldn't see each other, playing back data from another box would be very slow or not come up at all.
    After 4 goes of it with Verizon support via chat and phone (the experience of which I won't go into), which included a remote reset of my external access box by Verizon, I concluded that the router must have gone bad.
    Last night, I went in person to a Verizon service station near me to swap the router, got back what they said was a "brand new" M1424WR, and installed it...  To get the same problem, actually worse.  The wireless drops out in about 5 minutes, the light is still green but no wireless hosts can ping each other or anything on the wider internet (like using Speedtest).  I can use my wired internet fine (no hiccups there, yet) but my multi-room DVR is not 100%, two boxes can see the other two but one of the DVRs can only see itself.
    It seems unlikely but I have to believe this is still a problem with the router box itself, and I just got yet another flaky one back, right?  Nothing in my home network has changed (no new devices, services added, firmware updates, etc.) from last Tuesday when it was fine.
    Any other ideas for me to try?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, I traced it to a "radio problem" with a client device.  It was a "Belkin F5D7330 802.11g Wireless Ethernet/Gaming Adapter" I was using to connect a network printer that has only an ethernet port to my wireless network (so I wouldn't have to run CAT5 cable to where the printer is situated).
    To do this I had to remove/disable ALL my wireless devices and computers, then add them back in one by one...  It was frustrating because I'd forgotten that printer was actually connected wirelessly, I was used to thinking of it as connected via an ethernet cable since I "knew" that's what the printer supported.  I even unplugged my 2.4 GHz wireless phone base, which I actually believed to be the culprit.  I only remembered the printer's wireless adapter after everything else was removed.
    But once I unplugged the Belkin's power, boom, my wireless network was back to normal!  And plugging it back in caused the problem again.  So it's bye-bye Belkin.

  • Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

    Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
    I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
    Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

    No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
    BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

  • RAM has gone bad 4 times now, anyone else have bad RAM?

    I purchased a 17" MBP (Early 2010) the week they were released. In the first 2 months, one stick of RAM would go bad at a time. This happened 3 times. The Apple Store replaced them the first 2 times, but on the third failure (after doing a diagnostic that found nothing) they decided to replace the unit with a new MBP.
    It has been just over a month and one stick of RAM has gone bad on my new MBP. This is the 4th RAM failure.
    I keep my MBP on my desk 99% of the time. I'm not doing anything crazy with it. It's almost always plugged in to a power source. I've owned many Macs and PCs over the years and never had RAM problems like this.
    I got the feeling the genius employee who helped me this time was getting suspicious of the frequent RAM failures on two separate macs. If I were him, I would be too. But I know I'm not doing anything that would cause this (and I'm not opening up the insides of the MBP for fear of voiding warranty).
    Has anyone else had an issue like this? Can anyone think of something that could bring about RAM failures this frequent? Was the 1st computer defective and the 2nd one just bad luck with a bad stick of RAM?
    If if makes a difference. On the 1st MBP, when booting up I'd get a blank screen, no beeps. With the 2nd MBP, I'm getting a blank screen but 3 beeps/blinking lights that repeat.

    Hi
    likely to be coincidence, unless you've a very very spiky power supply there, and/or a power adapter that wasn't renewed at the same time as the mbp.

  • What RAM for KT3 Ultra2-R

    Currently I have:
    1 x Samsung PC2700 256MB CAS 2.5
    I want to upgrade to 512MB. I could get another stick of Samsung, but I would prefer to have it on 1 stick, plus there is only 1 place I can find in the UK that sells them and I'd prefer not to deal with them.
    So I'm thinking Crucial would be a good choice, as lots of people recommend them and they will refund/exchange if anything goes pear shaped.
    512MB DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 6ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64
    £116.09
    Doesn't sound too bad to me. Has anyone had trouble with Crucial RAM on the KT3?
    I've also noticed that Corsair do PC3000, 3200 and now 3500 CAS2 modules. Firstly, can my board handle them, and would there be a noticeable difference between them and the Crucial?
    System spec:
    AMD XP2200+ TBred A
    MSI KT3 Ultra2-R
    Samsung PC2700 256MB CAS 2.5
    Geforce 2 Ti
    300W PSU (soon to be Enermax 430W)

    Hi,
    I suppose you realise that you can't install multiple sticks of high speed RAM and maintain the memory bus speed that would be indicated by the RAM speed?
    Because of issues with the VIA chipset and others, the timing control of the memory bus is basically, barely under control and can only cope with a single stick of high speed RAM at the nominal RAM speed, say DDR400. Each additional stick will "clock-down" the memory bus to the next lower default setting, ie two sticks - DDR333, three sticks - DDR266.
    It all seems rather unsatisfactory and in reality, it is but there is little to be done at the moment until such time as VIA and others develop chipsets that can properly cope with the demands of genuine high speed RAM.
    So, I guess this means that if you want to increase your RAM size and maintain the highest possible memory bus speed, you are limited to a single stick of 512MB, 1GB (if they're out there). I've heard and read patchy reports of the performance of Crucial RAM and as a result, would not really recommend it. Corsair on the other hand, is very well engineered and manufactured and I would not hesitate to recommend their products in whatever combination of speed/size that you wanted to use. Hope that helps some,
    Cheerio,
    Dimal.

  • Mobile 2500 overclocking problems with KT3 Ultra2

    First off sorry for my poor english.. it's not my first language.  Now here's my system:
    CPU: Mobile 2500
    HSF: Vantec Aeroflow with AS5
    MB: MSI KT3 Ultra2
    RAM: 2x512MB PC2700
    VIDEO: Leadtek GeForce 4 TI4200
    The temperature is about 43C cpu and 40C case when the system is idle and it can get to 50C cpu and 43C case when the system is on maximum use.  
    So here's the situation...  I adjust the bus speed from 133 to 166 mhz..  I put the vcore voltage at 1.675 which is the maximum I can choose in the bios..  The multiplier is stuck on 14x..  When I try to run Prime95 or 3dmark03 my system is very unstable..  In prime95, one time it stopped after 10 minutes, the other time after 40 minutes.  In 3dmark03, I tried it at least five times and it usually stops during the second run of the tests.
    I'm very disappointed because I read a lot about this cpu before buying it and everyone was overclocking it easily so I had no doubt it would get to 166 mhz especially with proper cooling..  It sucks pretty bad!
    I hope some of you have some advices or suggestions on what I could try to make it work..  You are my last hope!  Thanks in advance!!

    Here comes another update...  Keep in mind that my cpu is currently at 14x166=2337 mhz.   I did some benchmark today and the results are starting to give me hope..  first I ran Prime95 for 14 hours without errors on the custom test with 2048-4096.  During this testing, the voltage went like this: 3.3V = 3.22V , 5V = 4.95V , 12V = 12.28V.  Is it normal?  Does it mean my power supply is good enough?  The specifications of the Power supply are : 3.3V-20A , 5V-30A , 12V-15A.  After that I ran all 3dmark03 tests three times without any glitches..  Then I played Far cry for about 20-30 minutes without any problems either.  
    Now what I'm wondering is if I run Prime95 without any problems but that 3dmark03 works sometimes and fail sometimes, can it help you guys to tell me what could be causing the instability?  
    Thank you again for all your help!

  • KT3-Ultra2 now slow to boot

    Hello all:  Something wierd has happened to my system.  Last night I rebooted my workstation and for some reason it now hangs during post for approximately 3 minutes.  This hang occurs after the ide devices are displayed.  I have run memory tests and it has pasted.  I have removed the ide drives and it still hangs on boot.
    This just started happening out of the blue and I have not added/changed any hardware prior to this.  The system will boot fine to either WinXP or Suse linux without trouble once the hang time has expired.
    Here are my system specs (from memeory):
    MSI KT3-Ultra2 - running latest BIOS (5.70??)
    AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (333Mhz)
    256MB Crucial DDR2700 memory
    ATI 9600
    Hauppauge PVR-250
    USRobotics V.90 modem
    Netgear 10/100 NIC
    400 Watt PS
    Seagate Barracuta 120 GB, WD 20 GB
    Pioneer DVD-Rom, Plextor PX-708 SVS burner
    So, could this be a symptom of a bad card??  Should I try removing cards and reboot to see if this solves the problem??
    All help greatly appreciated, Chris M.

    Gave that  a try, but no joy.  It is now sure looking like a mobo problem.  It looks like the mobo has to reinitialize all the attached devices on each boot, rather than remembering the hardware.  I am going to try and reflash the bios just to be sure the bios is not somehow corrupted.

  • KT3 Ultra2/AMD/RAM problems.

    Okay, this is my first time taking it to a forum for help, so dont let me down guys.
    Im a tech at DrComputers in Oklahoma, right now Im stumped with a problem that I have seen twice. It all has to deal with the Kt3 Ultra2 board, 2000+ or 2200+ AMD XP, and Samsung 512 2700 ddr sticks.
    Here is the lay out, the board is ground mounted, meaning no case and a rubber/foam layer below it, CPU has a large heatsink on it, more then it needs. There are no other devices attached to it other then a vid card, no hdd's, no fd's, no cdroms.  As for the RAM, I have two sticks of 512 of Samsung 2700.
    It will not hold a host clock speed of 133, but it stays fine at 100. I have changed the DRAM timing as shown.
     SDR timing by                  User
      Sdram frequency            HCLK+33
       sdram case latency       2
       Row Precharge time     2t
       RAS Pulse Width           5t
       RAS to CAS delay          3t
       SDRAM band interleave 4 way
       SDram burst lenght       4 qw
       SDRAM 1t command       Enabled
       Fast Command              Ultra
    I have changed those values to the other ones, and it wont hold the memory nor the CPU posted speed. All it will tell me is 512 megs and 1500+ XP.
    And I have flashed the BIOS.
    Thank you if you can help me, I just need it that bad.

    umm...i have my KT3 ultra w running at Ultra +HCLK+33 and max mem timings...you should put your foot back in your mouth :]

    This board will probably not function with timing set to ULTRA and memory function set to HCLK+33.  This equates to very aggressive timings that most memory cannot run.   Set timing to FAST and memory to HCLK.  
    HCLK+33 sets memory bus to 166 MHz (DDR333) but the bus between the CPU and memory controller is still at 133 MHz.  From what I have read and talking to other users the HCLK+33 only gives at most 3 to 7 % increase in memory benchmarks but most do not notice any increase in normal programs or games.

  • KT3 Ultra2 won't POST D-Bracket RRGG

    Greetings.  
    I have read many similar posts but nothing I have done works so far.  I have a new KT3 Ultra 2 that I have never been able to get to boot.  The D-Bracket ~always~ shows Red Red Green Green, regardless of what is in the board: nothing, just RAM, just CPU, Ram+CPU, Ram+CPU+Video.  I have tried swapping out processors, ram, video.
    Background - I had an Asus A7M-266D dual MP 1600 machine that just gave out last week.  I was in the middle of using it and it shutdown  After switching some dip switches on the board to force a 133mhz bus I was able to get back up and into the BIOS.  It died a couple minutes later and I was never abe to revive it.  I figured it was the motherboard, as I have heard about troubles with them, so I ordered the KT3 Ultra 2.
    When I got the mobo it wouldn't POST.  I went and got new RAM and a new CPU (after the new RAM didn't help.)  I have essentially replaced my entire computer and I haven't gotten the new config to boot.  I would love to hear any suggestions you might have.
    Here are the detailed specs:
    Mobo: KT3 Ultra2 (6380E) - w/audio, no LAN or RAID
    CPU: Either one of 2 MP1600+ (dual machine) or a brand new XP2000+
    Heatsink: one of 2 Thermalright AX-7 w/Vantec Stealth 80mm fans
    RAM: 256mb K-Byte PC2100  (new) or 512mb Kingston PC2100 (from dual machine)
    Video: Either AGP ATI Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO (7200) or PCI Matrox MY220 (and others tried)
    Power Supply: SkyHawk SH-400A8H 400W +5DC 40A 3.3VDC 28A no combined wattage but calculated ~195W combined from the ((5x40A+3.3x28A)/3)x2 formula listed in one of the threads.
    I have switched out parts and reseated everything multiple times.  The D-bracket always shows R R G G as soon as the power comes on.  I have tried clearing the CMOS but it doesn't seem to help.
    I know that other people had similar problems and solved them by replacing parts - but I have pretty much replaced everything at this point (with the exception of the power supply.)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help.
    hippo

    And the power supply folks win again. I didn't have another power supply rated for this machine - only some old 200 and 235 W power supplies that rate 10-14A on 3.3 and 20 A on +5.  But when I tried to use it I at least got different results - I powered up until I hit R G G G (Boot Attempt) when I got some BIOS beeps (not sure which ones right now - but most likely related to having way too little power).
    Sorry I didn't try that earlier before posting - I figured the PS was very unlikely to have gone bad in such a short period (new with case in May).
    After I get a properly rated PS I'll post again (hopefully with all problems solved).
    Thanks

  • USB 2.0 Issues with KT3 Ultra2 6380E

    Windows XP SP1
    Bios: American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T
    Hi I was wondering if someone could help me?
    My machine has six USB ports.  (1&2) Two ports are
    installed on the motherboard, and my users guide says
    they are legacy ports. (3&4) two ports are installed
    on the d-bracket 2 connector: JLED, connected to
    JUSB2, these are what I believe to be my only 2 USB2.0
    ports. (4&6)Finally 2 ports are connected via JUSB3 to
    the front panel of my Antec case. I think the front
    panel of my case has 1.1 connectors so it is
    essentially a 1.1 port.
    I am having some difficulty getting my USB ports to
    function properly with a USB 2.0 Buslink hard drive
    UII-40 72E. I suspect there is some IRQ conflict.
    Trying to alleviate this I disabled all the device
    drivers I suspected might cause this in the device
    manager in safe mode.  I then removed from the device
    manager all the USB (2.0 and 1.1) root hubs, and after
    that their host controllers.  I then booted to VGA
    mode (thinking this should disable the video card
    drivers??) and exported this IRQ info from my sys info
    after the USB host controllers are reinstalled:
    Resource   Device   Status   
    IRQ 9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System   OK   
    IRQ 11   RADEON 8500 SERIES    OK   
    IRQ 21   VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
    Controller   OK   
    IRQ 21   VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
    Controller   OK   
    IRQ 21   VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
    Controller   OK   
    IRQ 21   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller   OK
    IRQ 0   System timer   OK   
    IRQ 8   System CMOS/real time clock   OK   
    IRQ 13   Numeric data processor   OK   
    IRQ 12   PS/2 Compatible Mouse   OK   
    IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2
    Keyboard   OK   
    IRQ 14   Primary IDE Channel   OK   
    IRQ 15   Secondary IDE Channel   OK   
    IRQ 6   Standard floppy disk controller   OK   
    Next I attempt to (already plugged into D-Bracket
    port) power on my buslink USB 2.0 hard drive.  As soon
    as I do the machine immediately goes to a blue screen.
    No messages given but numbers are shown. I have screen
    shots taking with my digital camera.  I then returned
    to safe mode, remove the USB drivers as I did before,
    and boot to VGA mode.  Once the USB drivers have been
    restored I attempt to power on the bus link hard drive
    this time plugged into the onboard legacy ports.  I
    can I get another blue screen this time including a
    message "IRQL not less or equal", again I have taken
    screen shots with my digital camera.I then returned to
    safe mode, remove the USB drivers as I did before, and
    boot to VGA mode.  Once the USB drivers have been
    restored I attempt to power on the bus link hard drive
    this time plugged into the front panel USB ports
    (4&6).  When I power it on Windows XP warns me that I
    have a high-speed USB device plugged into a non
    high-speed USB hub. But I receive no error messages.
    However I do not exceed the drive through "my
    computer". I go through the add hardware wizard to try
    and at the drive manually and it says the device is
    working properly.  Still I do not see the drive.
    Finally I tried installing a Buslink USB 2.0 PCI card
    after the above steps. I then returned to safe mode,
    remove the USB drivers as I did before, and boot to
    VGA mode.  Once the USB drivers have been restored I
    attempt to power on the bus link hard drive this time
    plugged into the PCI card.  The drive seems to be
    recognized automatically by Windows XP however my
    system slows to a crawl trying to access any hard
    drive.  When I try and access the USB 2.0 hard drive I
    get a message something to the effect of "(the drive
    letter) not being recognizable".
    Any ideas on what could be causing this? The same
    Buslink hard drive works great at work on my Windows
    2000 machine plugged into the same PCI card using the same USB cable and power supply. Would any other information be useful?
    Thanks!

    I first tried installing the VIA4in1 and VIA USB2.0 patch. Then I tried the D-bracket after refreshing the usb drivers (I did not disable all other devices like in my original post, should I have?). Same result, blue screen crash at power on.
    Next I disable USB ports in BIOS and install USB PCI card. Then power on the USB HD plugged into card. Same result. Computer slow accessing local drives. When I try to access the USB drive I get a "E:/ is not accessible; the file or data is corrupted or unreadable."
    Next I remove the USB card. I enter BIOS and set to "2" ports. Presumably this turns on the USB1.1 ports on the mobo. I return to windows xp. It now seems to install the drivers, but just as it finishes I get a "a problem has been encountered instaaling this device (it has done this before but after finishing I get the blue screen most times). Next I goto the device manager, and in my USB devices I have a USB mass storage device w/ a yellow flag. I goto properties and see a:
    "the device cannot start (code 10)" device status. I click "troubleshoot" and voila... blue screen.
    Finally I reboot, and set 4 ports in BIOS, making my JUSB3 FRONT PANEL usb1.1? ports active. Interestingly these respond like the PCI card. Computer slow accessing local drives. When I try to access the USB drive I get a "E:/ is not accessible; the file or data is corrupted or unreadable." As soon as I power off the USB HD things are normal...
    I will take this USB HD to work tomorrow just to ensure its integrity. Any other ideas? What kinds of BIOS settings might F up USB?

  • Lack of Ghz KT3 Ultra2 Barton 3000+

    Dont want to sound like a broken record but I aswell am having problems with my newly purchased Barton 3000+ (400 fsb) with my MSI KT3 Ultra2. The problem is that whenever I try to set the FSB to the correct level, the computer fails to boot and I have to jump the cmos. I updated my bios to ver 5.7, and the highest i can get is to a 2400+
    Two possible reasons I think are I have a Thermaltake Volcano 8 (which i believe isnt up to par) and my powersupply is a bit below the specs in the troubleshooting faq: L&C brand PSU +3.3V/24A  +5V/35A  +12V/12A.  However I'm reluctant to go buy replacement parts because I've read of the people who did and it didnt help (limited budget.)
    I've tried flashing with 3 different versions of 5.7 drivers, and even gave the 5.6 a go (highest i could get was 2200+) The highest I could get the FSB is to 199, but as soon as i try for 200 it zonks out on me. I've got 768 megs of no name ram that has served me well, and so thats not the problem... (hope not) I've also read a buncho topics and tried various things from them.
    If I missed anything lemme know....
    Oh while I'm here, my computer likes to restart itself whenever I tell it to shutdown. Sometimes it does stay off, usually when not running for very long. On occasion (not very often) It will come on on its own accord, which kinda concerns me

    I don't know for sure, but aren't there two different types of Barton's being sold. One with a FSB 333 and one with 400 ?
    So I think you will have to get the other type in order to get it working, since the mobo does only support FSB up to 333 MHz.
    Maybe you can just replace the CPU where you bought it ?

  • Photo Quality gone bad

    Yesterday upgraded my Ipohone3GS to IOS 4 software. All went off smoothly but have realised the quality of the existing pictures has gone bad except the ones in the Camera Roll folder. All are looking blurred. Any ideas!!!

    Resync your photos and everything will be fine.

  • Help please-USB 2.0 drive only working at USB 1.1 speed (KT3 Ultra2-C, MS-6593)

    Help! I have an MSI KT3 Ultra2-C, part no. MS-6593, running WinXP Home.  According to the manual it has six USB 2.0 ports, but I can't get a USB 2.0 external hard drive working at USB 2.0 speed.  The drive is currently connected using the "D-Bracket 2" which the manual says supports USB 2.0.  In my BIOS all USB ports are set to enabled.
    The drive was detected by Windows XP, but when it installed I got a warning that it is not connected to a full speed USB port.  The drive is only transferring about one megabyte per second of data, which I'm guessing means it's running at USB 1.1.  When I use Sisoft Sandra to look at my port information, it lists "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" and then three listings for "Via Rev 5 or Later USB Universal Host Controller".   All of my USB devices including the new drive are shown mapped to the "Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller"  so the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Controller" shows no devices connected.   Even though all my USB ports are physically filled, they are all mapping to the "Via Rev 5" controller, which I think is a USB 1.1 controller.  This makes me think if I can somehow force these devices onto the Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller, they will work at USB 2.0 speed?  How can I make devices use the right USB 2.0 controller instead of the Via USB 1.1 Controller?
    Windows Device Manager looks kind of strange, under USB Controllers it first lists the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller".  Then it lists my USB cable modem, USB printer, and USB hard drive on the following lines.  Then it has several lines that say "USB Root Hub".  Then it has three lines that say "Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller".
    Please help me get this external hard drive running at full speed...I'm stumped and thought this USB stuff was all plug and play, and expected my USB 2.0 drive to work on this USB 2.0 motherboard.  Thanks for any responses.

    Go Here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=357&kind=1 and download the Drivers and the Update. Then go into your device manager and click on the host controller of the USB devices and update driver, then select the drivers that you downloaded and restart your computer. once restarted go back into device manager and make sure that what was once "standard host" controller now shows "Enhanced USB 2.0" controller. Hope that helps.

  • KT3 ultra2 BR problem

    I have already read Bas' post about the common problems but still, my own problem can't be solved. I hope you guys could help me. Here's the problem:
    Specs: KT3 Ultra2 BR/2 x Kingmax 256 MB DDR333 RAM/AthlonXP 2000+
    I know that the default fsb is 100. The system reaches POST at 100 fsb. Now, if I use that fsb, my athlon xp is almost worthless. Everytime I try to set the fsb at 133 and saves the CMOS setup, the system couldn't even initialize the VGA card and won't even reach POST. The LEDs tell me that the problems are with the memory modules. I hope you people can help me because I can't use my system until this is solved. Thank you and more power to you.

    Could you prove it was 2100? If so, I would have taken it back and shoved it up........ Sorry, got carried away. I would have dobbed the retailer in to the authorities for misrepresentation or fraud.
