well, I did as u instruct... but still ..... power on, just couple sec, then it automatic off... so quickly I don't even know wat D-Led is... however, when I take out the cpu and power it on... it's staying there. however I can't turn it on switch unless I switch off the PSU.... GZZZZZZZZ I'm going crazy.... I did using MSI KT4 Ultra-SR and it has the same problem so, i thought my MOBO damage, then I order new MSI K7N2 Delta-L and now, still same problem. I did exchange twice of CPU b/c i thought it damage too, but it not CPU.....
I recheck and recheck the installation, nothing change.... Man, I never thought it so hard like it now.... Someone help please....

NEED HELP - K7N2 Delta ILSR

I really need help. I recently bought my new moboard the K7N2 Delta ILSR and with it a GeForce FX 5600 256DDR, 512 DDD Ram PC3200, an 80Gb Seagate SATA HD, andi have a 2800+ AMD Athlon Xp Barton Core Cpu. The problem i get is that when i try to install Windows XP it says it cant find any hard drives. I saw the other thread that was like this but that one had about RAID so i thought i would ask again. I even tried it with Windows 98 which finds my hard drive and even installed once but after that i tried to upgrade to Windows Xp which didnt work, overwrited some of my Windows 98 files and so that didnt work either and when i try to install it again it gives me errors. PLS help im desperate to get my lan workin with my other PC. I havent changed any options in the bios and i dont know if i have to change anything to make sata work. I dont have a floppy disk either for the hd. I found it in the array thigy as well.

Windows will not find a SATA drive you have to tell it you have one bios will only find IDE drives.
you must hit ctrl F when the screen comes up during boot and creat an array just follow the on screen promps.
If you bought a OEM board and don't have the SATA Promise disk download it from MSI and a Manual too.
Either a Raid 0 or Raid 1.
It looks like you have only one drive so just tell it that and the array will work.
Than go to your Bois and set Bois to boot from CD first SCSI secound.
Now you can load your OS. When your OS starts to load it will flash a line across bottom of screen asking if you have SCSI hit F6 do so. The OS will keep loading but when its done it will ask for you 3.5 promise disk. Put it in and load the Fast Track 376 program.
When you OS is finished loading it will again ask for this disk as the first time it just loads the drivers to memory the secound time to your HDD.
Good Luck it a little confussing the first time as the programers think there talking to techs not people so use terms that sometimes don't make sense.

Please help - K7N2 delta-L upgrade compatibility?

Hello there,
Having perused the forms for a while in research I know my appeal will not fall on deaf ears. I'm about to buy a new mobo, CPU, vid card and RAM and would be eternally grateful for an OK as regards memory issues etc.
I'd like:
MSI K7N2- Delta L
Duron 1.6 GHz
Geforce4 MMX 400 64MB
256 Crucial PC3200
But I've heard the mobo is picky about both the memory and Duron CPUs. Would getting the latest driver solve the CPU problem and would this RAM work? I'm a newbie but would like to get into overclocking eventually. With this in mind, what should I look for in RAM? CL? I will drop in an XP 2500+ eventually and another stick of RAM for the dual channel goodness!
Many thanks.

I get the exact same temperatures, 60'C max load though. I don't see it as a problem since I live in Greece and right now the temperature outside is a good 40'C ! During the winter the temps (cpu, case and outside ) drop a lot (don't know how much since I only built my system about a month ago).
For me, under these circumstances, the best cooling option if I want to further drop my temps, is turn on the airconditioner in my room !

Someone plz help me with my k7n2 delta-ilsr

Hey everyone,
I just put my sytem togother and ran into a problem. I got the system to boot up just fine. It was not until I tried installing windows xp proffesional that I ran into problems. The installation process runs pretty smoothly, until the computer reboots to run windows for the first time. After it reboots the windows logo appears and the after 2 seconds or so, a blue screen appears saying that windows was shut down to prevent any damage to my computer. I have never encountered this problem before when I built other systems. The screen suggests that I should check my HDD's for viruses or check to see if they are configured correctly. The HDD's are SATA and I have them set up in RAID 0 mode and yeah I installed the RAID drivers during the installation process. Thinking that I had made mistake setting up the SATA drives, tried installing windows using a regular IDE hard drive and it gave the same message. I am stumped anybody have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated . My system specs are below.
MSI k7n2 delta-ilsr mobo
AMD 3000+ Athlon XP cpu (333 fsb)

x1 regular cd-rom drive

Memory that comes with timing of 5 2 2 2 or 6 2 2 2 or usally winbond BH-5 memory chips. Ones with 5 3 2 2 or CH-5 winbond chips. The BH-5 chips overclock a little better than the CH-5. (Muskin uses BH-5 winbond in there black ram)
Winbond is no longer making BH-5 chips but is going to make a limited run of them as demend is high for them.
The first number shown here is the Traz and it controls the flush timing bench testing is showing that a higher number of 9, 10 or 11 or getting better bench results than the 6 or 5. Thats with Dual Channel memory.
The timing you show probly should be something like 8 3 3 3 or 8 3 3 2.5 unless it is there faster Dual channel ram.
The timing numbers can also appear like this 2 2 2 5 the high number is the Traz either way.
Look on your memory manufactor web site for the timing that if should run at also look at the voltage as this can make a big differance.

HELP me with my K7N2 delta ilsr

Can anyone help me with this problem. I have just upgraded to MSI's K7N2 delta ilsr motherboard. Its all working quite well apart from the fact that the pc wont start up from cold....at all.
When I start the pc from an off state, it runs up the fans and drives, but does not post.
The diagnostic led pannel on the back of the pc shows that the cpu is faulty or not installed correctly.
If I then press the reset button, the pc posts, and boots up just fine.
It does this EVERY time I start up.
I have tried re installing the cpu, which is an XP 2800+ 333 barton, but to no avail.
I have asked a few questions on other forums, but I cant solve it.
These are the suggestions so far.
1. the psu (I have a Tsunami 400 atx psu) could not be giving out enough power on initial startup, but once the pc is running, it has enough to boot the pc from a reset.
2. The mobo or the bios could be at fault. I have not flashed the bios, or upgraded it in any way from original, so is there an issue with the original bios on these boards, and 2800 barton chips??? Could it be a mobo fault? The pc runs fine once the machine is booted.? how do I test it?
3. The cpu could be faulty? but would this not stop it running fuull stop?
4. my ram. I have a single stick of OCZ 512mb pc3200 ddr, which I was told would make the pc fly. Not shure on that statement, but is this ram compatible?? could this be the problem?
Im fairly new to the upgrade side of things, and I need some help with this one.
Also, Id be really greatfull if some one could talk me through flashing my bios to the latest version, as the thought of doing this narks me a bit...I dont want to mess it up and get a dead pc...

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR MB Problems, Need Help ASAP!! PLEASE

Ok I just got this motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta) Yesterday and after getting it setup I began overclocking the Processor (an AMD Athlon XP Barton Mobile 2500+) I was at 11x 215 1.750V Perfectly. I moved to 216 it started to seem unstable so I pushed the VCORE up to 1.775 and tried 217. It couldn't boot so I dropped it back down and decided ok 208 and a 11.5 multi might get me past the 2.4 mark which I was looking for. Well when I changed the Multi. to 11.5 and said save the system just sate as the flashing y for save. I could not change it to n I had already pushed enter So i firgured great and left it alone for a few minutes, nothing so I reset it. Now it refuses to boot/post. It spinds the fans the HD's the Network port is going but I get no picture. I have cleared the CMOS using the jumper I have removed the battery and power for over an hour and I still get nothing. I am assuming this is a BIOS error but I am not sure what to do to fix it. Does anyone here kno maybe, something I have yet to try something I can do? I would hate to RMA it and have to wait on newegg. Hell the thing is a day old. So please any idea's are welcome I have this posted on the Hard Forums as well but I am hopinh this forum may be more popular with getting help as no one is helping over there. Thanks!

Hi,
Cross: Just in case you are doing something wrong there's a clear CMOS guide here, follow it to the letter (and don't forget to put the FSB jumper to SAFE beforehand - there's a note about it in the guide).
How To Clear the CMOS
Your system board or CPU maybe not be dead yet - I had a similar problem with one of my boards and I tried everything - to cut a long story short I eventually got it working!!!
Btw, If you can't boot or get into the BIOS put your other CPU in (clear BIOS again after fitting!), so that you can prove whether your motherboard is working correctly!
Good luck! I'm off ta bed!

K7N2 Delta - hope this is of some help

M/B K7N2 Delta - ILSR
AMD XP 3200+
CORSAIR XMS 2 x 256mb DDR400
ATI 9600XT
2 x 200GB MAXTORS
450 w PSU
I've had several years experience in building my own PC's, and I suppose like everyone else I've learnt some expensive lessons. At the moment I've got several PC's all with AMD's ranging from XP 2100 - 3200+
2 Abit m/b, 2 Asus m/b and the latest one, which is the MSI Delta
This is the first time I've tried an MSI m/b and I have to say I've never known a board as twitchy as this when it comes to setting the FSB and DRAM timings.
When I first setup a m/board I don't, as a rule, adjust anything in the BIOS just to see how things bootup. For the test I also attach a spare hard drive with a basic windows XP setup and very little else. This helps me to observe how windows responds to the new motherboard - if there are any compatibility problems at this stage then windows will soon tell you in no uncertain terms with the dreaded blue screen messages. And believe you me I've had plenty of them with this motherboard.
Not only have the blue screens appeared but I've lost count of the number of times this system has either crashed out on me or reset itself for no apparent reason.
Right then, my first port of call was the BIOS........hmmm, everything looked fine the system was on auto, the CPU FSB Clock showed 200Mhz and the DRAM clock also showed 200. I switched the memory timings to manual because I wanted to change the CAS latency to 2.5, which I knew was the correct setting for the CORSAIR memory with an AMD cpu.
Next stop was to check all the cacheable stuff just in case the AwardBIOS was making too many assumptions which it sometimes does.
Tweaked a few other settings, but nothing that would have a drastic effect.
All this of course was to no avail, as the same problems kept happening.
Next step was to check for any BIOS update, and yes, as look would have it, MSI had brought out version 7.7, which I installed immediately.
During the process of updating the BIOS I noticed a message appeared saying, updating DDR timings (interesting I thought, had MSI realised they had a problem).
Again all this was to no avail of course. So I decided to tweak the CPU FSB Clock speed and started increasing it one step at a time, which only made matters worse and eventually I had to reset everything with the jumpers on the m/b. So I turned to decreasing the speed and after some trial & error I finally got the system stable at 192Mhz. Of course this also effects the speed of the DRAM clock which now runs at 382. Not quite what I expected but I suppose I should be happy that my system is still running.
Let's hope MSI continue to release BIOS updates which may evetually improve their timings !!
My condolences to all who suffer with MSI blues
Truly yours
Webfan

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=48583&sid=
try his bios works fine at 10x 200 for me
and evan faster for many with xp 2500

Help with Video camera lock ups on K7N2 delta

hi everyone,
finally got new computer working after formatting and reinstalling windows and the bare minimum of software.
but a small problem arose after drivers from supplied CD Rom installed my Sony DV camera locks up.
i haven't even installed any video editing software yet.
before installing drivers, when i double clicked the camera icon in my computer it gave me access to the camera i.e i could press play on the camera and view it on the computer.
now since the drivers have been installed the message that i get is 'please wait while device initializes'.
then 'program not responding' is displayed.
my configuration is
K7N2 delta
AMD XP2000+
crucial 512mb PC2700
Radeon 9200
belkin firewire card
trust V92 modem
any help would be much appreciated as the new computer sole purpose is to video edit.
cheers everyone

I have the same problem and have a very old MoBo 266Pro board, I have a different camera it's a Samsung dp-s103 or something like that, whenever I try to capture some movie the program lock ups and I have to =restart the PC. I tried taking out the PCI cards and left only the firewire PCI card I was able to capture about 16 minutes of video, but it still locks up. I will try the latency patch and a bios upgrade. Will then see how everything turns up. I've also tried this on an old computer with an Intel chipset, 733Mhz processor and it worked fine, so this must be either a chipset problem or MSI didn't manufacture these board well.
Best regards
PS. I think that my new system will be a pure intel one :(

K7N2 Delta-L Compatibility Issues HELP

I am currently building a system to use as a development server. Here are all the parts I have used.
[list=a]
K7N2 Delta L Motherboard
AMD Athlon 2800+ 333 FSB
PowMax Case 400W Power Supply
Western Digital HD 80GB UDMA 100 7200 RPM
Western Digital HD 20GB UDMA 100 7200 RPM
Plextor PX-W5224TA BLACK CDRW
ATI Radeon 9000 64MB AGP 4x
VOLCANO 7+ RT Fan to replace standard Athlon Fan[/list=a]
I have assembled the entire system but have run into a road block. I get the BLUE SCREEN of death everytime I try to install the system. I have double checked all jumpers on every piece of hardware. I have also double checked everything in my BIOS, which is at the current version. I have also disable and swaped hardware to narrow the problem.
I still got the error message. Naturally I assumed it was now the RAM. I started with a Kingston HyperX KHX2700/512 module. I put in in the second DIMM slot. I then went out and bougth another Kingston Module KVR333/512. Still the same error. I then tried slower RAM, PNY PC2100 512 Module. All modules placed in the second DIMM. I even tried moving them to the first DIMM slot. Again the same problem.
With the Kingston memory the FSB/DRAM ration was 1:1 and the FSB was set to 166mhz. I have found numerious posts in this forum and tried them all. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Any and all help is appreciated.
I think it's either my RAM choice or PSU. Here are the schematics for the PSU.
+5v 30a max
-12v 0.8a max
-5v 0.3a max
+12v 25a max
+3.3v 28a max+5sb 2.0a max
I have plugged in the 12v cpu power supply as well. System and Bios cache disabled. I have tried installing Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP Pro. No luck on any.

Hi,
Brownman: Although disabling APIC seems to have solved your problem, it may come back and bite you on the a**. The APIC option in the BIOS gives your OS 22 (or 23 I forget which) IRQ addresses for different pieces of hardware you install. With APIC disabled you are restricted to 16 IRQ's (0-15) if you install a lot of new hardware in the future, you may run out of IRQ's. If you are installing XP it's also a good idea to install it with PNP OS disabled in the BIOS.
BTW, you didn't have an "Active" cable connected to your NIC card while you were installing XP? If this is the case you should unplug it - this can stop an XP install dead in it's tracks.

Also, what are new MBs doing so that one doesnt have to deal with this annoying F-6 step? For some reason I think I heard new MBs dont require this F-6 step.
for his mobo, the drivers are absolutely necessary to be loaded when SATA HDD are used. that is due onboard sata controller.

K7N2 Delta....please help

OK, let me start by saying that I know just enough to be dangerous (and really get things screwed up). With that said, My computer was running great and then I had the chance to upgrade my processor and RAM so I did. Since doing so I've run into a little snag, most of the time, about every 60 seconds it just freezes up for anywhere from 3 to 10 sec.
Does anyone have any ideas? Here's my setup:
K7N2 Delta ILSR (MS-6570) I just changed the Bios to version 7.80
Athlon XP 3200+ running @ 2.20 Ghz (temp is 40-45 C)
(3) 512MB Geil DDR400 PC3200 6-3-3-2 (dual channel mode)
NVIDIA Geforce4 Ti 4200 (w/ dual 19" samsung SyncMaster 191T one DVI one AGP)

D bracket
S bracket
3.5" floppy
Creative speakers SBS2.1
Generic case w/ plenty of fans & 450W power supply

Other settings:
AGP clock @ defalt setting of 66
AGP voltage 1.5
DRAM voltage 2.7

+3.3v - 3.23
+5v - 5.10
+12v - 11.85
-12v - -12.69
-5v - -5.20
Items that where changed:
I went from a XP3000+ (333FSB) to the 3200+ (400FSB)
added a stick of RAM
installed SP2
and in an effort to fix the problem updated the bios
I know this board is ram sensitive - so is the added ram the problem?
Is SP2 the problem?
Or is it the 3200+?
Please help.

Hello,
What is the model of the memory modules?
Geil PC3200 Value ram Blue heat spreaders?
The timings for that are 2.5-3-3-6 not 2-3-3-6 (assuming you got the value series)
Are you running the memory in SPD mode?
You may also want to test each module with this program.
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.40/memtest86+-1.40.floppy.zip
It will create a bootdisk that cannot be read in windows.
You must then boot from the disk with only 1 module in the PC.
If you get any errors then it is a faulty memory module, test all the modules.

K7n2 Delta ILSR - isdncard - windows 2000 HELP!!!

I just can`t get my isdncard istalled propebly. Do anybody know about a problem with windows 2000 and MSI k7n2 delta motherboard?
After I haved istalled the isdncard I get the message "Windows could not find the driver for this device". "The driver is not istalled" I have the updated driver for my card. I have now tried three diffrent isdncards, and i get the same message. So, there can`t possible be something wrong with the card.
When I try to open the ISDN utility I get the message " The app can not be loaded. Press ok to terminate the app". (Or cant find capi...file)
When i boot up, it finds the card, but after the installation its still mark with a yellow mark and its called network adapter. In proppeties the problem seems to be that "there are no driver installed for this device"
Help, somebody...

tried playing swap the pci slot ,try 3 as it does not share irq
try disabling any com ports or any thing else you dont use in bios like 1394

It looks like a great board and i see some great reviews but also see alot of small issue with compadability. It looks like the 1st thing is to upgrade the bios, and hope i don't have any issue with my cable modem box (guess i could put my old network card back in and disable the mobo's built in net work if there is problems).
I don't do O\C so nothing to worry about there. My old board is an Epox and is max'd out with no future upgrade room, so that's why i'd like to upgrade.
Thanks for any help guys.

rider45,
If you do not need the Break Out Box from the Platinum, I would go with the onboard nVidia SoundStorm. It sounds better than the old Live! and uses less CPU Cycles.
Take Care,
