Help with K7N2 Delta-L install

I am going to fit a K7N2 Delta-L motherboard next week. I have also ordered the following components.
xp2000 cpu
2x256 Crucial pc3200 ram
MSI FX5200 TD128 graphics.
I have downloaded and read the manual but I am not clear on what I should set jumpers 10 (fsb mode) & 11 (fsb frequency) to. Also when I start the computer for the first time will I have to set the cpu and memory parameters in the BIOS or will the board aut-detect them.
A.H.

nVidia Drivers
d/l the latest nforce and vga drivers
just leave jumpers as it comes
it should auto if not set fsb to 133 ,leave ram alone
set ddr fsb ratio to 1.1 as well

Need setup help with K7N2 Delta-L

I am having a problem with system hanging up and getting blue screen from time to time.Running msi K7N2 Delta- L board with corsair value select VS1GBKIT400 PC3200 1024MB 2x64Mx64 2x184 DIMM,Leaktek winfast A250 ti4600 video card,antec 350w ps,xp home loaded on 30 gig wd 7200 drive with clean install.Not looking to overclock just want stable setup as about all I do is play with PSP7 and run driving games.Think I do not have bios settings correct as I am still a beginner.Any help or thoughts appriciated.
Thanks Bruce

Bruce: I have the same Delta-L motherboard and it is picky about the Ram. I used Crucial 2 512 sticks 400 and they are in slots 1 and 3. Is it maybe the power supply is a little weak? Seems they like 400 or better PSU.

Help with K7N2 Delta + Barton 2500+

Last night I changed my BIOS to 11x210, everything was working fine at 11x200, but now my machine will not boot up, the D-Bracket on my MSI K7N2 Delta shows that there is a problem with the RAM, but the RAM was working fine and after leaving the machine off for sometime it begins to boot up.
You can hear the drives spin up, the the Graphics card doesn't seem to kick in and the monitor LED remains on Amber.
I have tried clearing the CMOS with the JBT1 jumper but it doesn't seem to clear, I also removed the CR2032 battery but that also didn't work.
Please Help
More information is available

read the book it eally does help J 10 will force pc into 100 fsb mode
then you can set it back to 200 and put the jumper back in user mode
only move the jumper with the pc off and mains power disconnnected

For video the TI4600 would be fine and is more reasonably prices. As far as RAM Kingston is not on the approved list, like I said it may work fine or you may have problems depending on the chipset, but no matter what type of RAM you buy you definetly want to buy 2 X 256MHz so you can run dual channel.

Need serious help with K7N2 Delta!!!

I just finished building a PC, and no problems had cropped up until my last reboot. I shutdown simply to take a look at a fan controller, but I didn't mess with any wires or anything; I simply looked at it for a sec. Anyway, when I tried to reboot, it wouldn't do it and it still won't.
It takes about 5 minutes to "Detect IDE drives ...", but eventually detects them all correctly before moving to the next screen... >>
Right now it's stalled at:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ...................
Boot from CD :
Boot from CD :
NVIDIA Boot Agent...blah, blah, blah
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Anyway, I already have WinXP Home installed on it, with tons of progs set up and other stuff worked out. It was pretty much finished except for a few little things I wanted to do to custimize it. I've checked all the cables inside numerous times, and I still can't figure out what is going on. I've check all cables, jumpers, wires--everything about a hundred times, and even tried to boot from CD only, HDD only...etc...
Any help would be really appreciated!!!
Stats: MSI mobo, AMD XP2400 CPU, 512MB DDR333 RAM, 80GB WD HDD, ABIT Videocard (64MB DDR), Lite-On 52x CD-R, Lite-On 16X DVD, Sony Floppy Enermax 350w PSU

Geez this is getting frustrating. I found the problem and now I am having another.
The problem appears to be my CD-ROM. I had a CD-ROM and CD-RW on the same IDE channel. As soon as I unplugged the CD-ROM, the problem went away. I can not use the second CD-ROM no matter what IDE channel (1 or 2) or position (Master or Slave). I tried a different CD-ROM drive and it still causes the same problem. Ok, I can live without the drive for now.
Now I go to reformat my hard drive and I keeping getting a blue screen saying my Bios is not fully ACPI compliant. I flashed up to 5.6. I tried the trick of hitting F5 when Windows set-up asks for SCSI drivers and then selecting ACPI Uniprocessor. That doesn't work.
Arghhh!!!
What the hell do I got to do to get this thing to work!!!!

Help with K7N2 Delta mobo

Got it from my brother the other week. Found out that the processor was bad so I got a new one and tried to boot it up. Everything would power up but I did not get a beep or any display on the monitor. So I removed all the components except for the CPU, heatsink, PSU, and D-bracket. Still no beep, and the leds for the D-bracket pointed to Memory Detection Test. I pulled the mobo out of the case and placed it on an anti-static mat and still not getting a beep or display. I know the CPU works because I tested it on another AMD pc at work. I am going to test the GPU in another tonight after I get home. I cleared the CMOS already. The J10 jumper is set to 133MHz and the J11 is set to 133/166MHz. Don't know what else to try. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, the processor seems to be the problem.
You know of course that the graphics card, ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 9800Pro 128MB 256-bit DDR VIVO AGP 4X/8X, need a special power connection, too.
http://www.gen-x-pc.com/vg_AIW9800P.htm From the picture it looks like a floppy device power cable.
And, this doesn't solve your problem, but I think you should wait with any PCI-cards. If you have any, take them out.
I tried the processor in another AMD machine at work and it was able to boot. I have the extra power cable for the ATI card plugged in. I tried booting with nothing on the board except the CPU and the D-link and still not getting a pc beep.

Serius problem with k7n2 delta 2

I have problems with my k7n2 delta2 does not recognize a AtlonXP 3000+ was working in this plate, doing tests of overclock,when to restart do not work the processor in this plate but,the motherboard (k7n2 delta 2) works with other processors, and processor 3000+ works with other motherboards, but Athlon 3000+ with k7n2 delta 2 does not work together, I tested of everything recover the bios, to update the bios and nothing, dont change to default, I hope that can help me beforehand thankful.
tengo problemas con mi k7n2 delta2 no reconoce un AtlonXP 3000+ que ya estaba trabajando en esta placa madre, haciendo pruebas de overclock, y despues de reiniciarla ya no quiso reconocer el procesador athlon xp 3000+, la placa madre (k7n2 delta 2) trabaja con otros procesadores, y el procesador 3000+ trabaja con otras placas madres, pero el Athlon 3000+ con k7n2 delta 2 no trabajan juntos, ya he probado de todo restaurar el bios, actualizar el bios y nada, parece que no efectua los cambios a default, no se que hacer, espero que me puedan ayudar agradecido de antemano.
cuando tiene otro cpu enciende correctamente pero cuando le pongo el xp 3000+ no enciende el monitor ni marca ningun error solo no inicias, pero si enciende.

Why do you say Bios doesn't go to default options if with other CPUs Mobo turns on ? You must have in mind that each time you replace the CPU you must Clear CMOS to return to default options, and also you should clean HSF base and CPU die from old thermal grease. At least you know both CPU and Mobo works.
Por qué dices que la Bios no vuelve a las opciones por defecto si la tarjeta madre funciona con otros procesadores ? Debes tener en cuenta que cada vez que cambias de CPU deberías borrar las opciones que entraste en la Bios como también limpiar la base del disipador de temperatura de la CPU y la CPU misma y usar nueva pasta térmica. Al menos sabes que tanto la CPU como la tarjeta madre trabajan.

Kingston, Crucial, Twinmos memory has problem with K7N2-DELTA??

I need 2*256MB memory for my AMD 2500+XP.
Kingston, Crucial, Twinmos memory seem to have problem with K7N2-DELTA-ILSR
Is Samsung good?
Please do me a favor to choose one brand that fit my mobo in this link:
http://www.canadacomputers.com/memory.html
I tried KingMax(SuperRam Series, since they don't have the ram with the model listed in the test report) and Corsair(CMX256A-3200C2) ,both no good for 2*256MB DUAL channel
Thank you very much

I think OCZ and Samsung, is mostly work memory,r ight?
thx
I think I will try OCZ

Problem with K7N2 Delta-ILSR, please help

First off, these are the specs for the computer to which I shall be referring in this post:
K7N2 Delta-ILSR
AMD 2700+
1x512MB PC3200 Memory Corsair CM64SD512
Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200RPM SATA ST380013AS
ATI 9600 Pro
400 Watt power supply
Cendyne 52x cd burner
Here's what happened. I installed everything with only minor difficulties, mostly due to getting the hard drive to work. They were worked through with little problem due, in large part, to this forum. I installed Windows XP, and we ran a number of things with no problem after the OS installation. The drivers for the video card loaded well. 3DMark2003 ran beautifully. After I got that working, I went to put my friend's old hard drive in as a slave, so he could get the files off of it. This seemed to work well enough. Then we went to load the drivers for the motherboard. When it got to the audio driver, we got the old "blue screen". Then the computer reset and tried booting 98 from the old hard drive. We shut down and disconnected the old hard drive. Then we restarted to find that after the second screen XP would not begin to boot. After some playing around we decided it best to reinstall, because with no combination could we get the OS to boot up. So we reinstalled, with a full format. This time, the first thing I went for was the motherboard drivers. It stopped at the audio driver, again, and gave us the old "blue screen", again. This time, instead of stopping the boot after the second screen, it came up with this message
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before we decide what to do next. Please let me know if any more information is required. None of the bios settings have been altered, save to boot from the CD.
Thank you,

[nForce] Problems with K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum and SATA

Hi All
I have a MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum with an AMD 3200+ Barton.
I have 2 x 512mb Crucial PC3200 DDR400 RAM.
I have a Samsung 80gb SATA hard drive.
I am trying to install Windows XP Pro onto a blank SATA drive. The trouble is that I get into the Win XP Pro setup and it just doesn't recognise the drive. I have tried installing the drivers on the Flopy, but the drive just isnt recognised for me to install Win XP to the SATA drive to use as a boot drive.
I've read the advice thread, but couldn't find my problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Thank for that. I haven't done that but I have got XP to recognise the drive to install to it.
XP went as far as going to the lovely bright XP installation screen and has installed hardware. When it got to installing the network it just froze up and stopped working.
Now I think the problem may be that I set the one SATA drive up to be RAID (striped) in the RAID config. I will disable this tonight and have another look. The thing that I would like to know is what setting in the BIOS of this mobo means that the SATA drive can be used as IDE? I don't have two SATA drives to use in RAID, so I figured that I have to get the one SATA to act as an IDE drive. I have SATA spreading disabled, but am unsure as to which of the other settings to change. Soz to keep asking!
EDIT: I sorted the RAID config thing. Fomatted the drive and re-installed XP. Once again, it just stops once it gets to the windowsesque creen. It stops at various points during the installation, sometimes at the "installing networks" bit, sometimes at the "completing installation" (after coying data). I just don't know what to do realy. Might RMA the board and go back to my trusted old Aopen AK77-600GN :-(
Anyone any ideas?

You first need to make sure you have the promise controller drivers installed for it to recognize the hard drive. The system should have came with a floppy disk with the drivers on it........Make sure your boot order is floppy drive/cdrom drive/sata/scsi........boot to the XP cd after you have the sata controllers installed......then run the XP disk setup partion/format/install.........after installation you can set boot order as sata/scsi as first boot device.

Odd USB Problem With K7N2 Delta-L

Hey all. I have a bit of a weird problem here I'm wondering if people can give some insight on. I have a K7N2 Delta-L mainboard that I've been using for two years now without the slightest problem. However, recently I've started experiencing some odd USB related problems which culminated in a big moment of panic for me yesterday. I'll start with what happened yesterday.
My system drive is 2x40GB PIDE drives running on an add-in Promise FastTrak133 controller. Yesterday, I was given 2x160GB drives from a client that I decided to upgrade my RAID with. I installed the drives and fired up my system, but had to reboot several times as the drives weren't jumpered right and not detecting on the Promise board. After I finally got the drives working, I noticed my USB had completely died. My USB keyboard and mouse didn't work and my TrueImage rescue disk (which I was going to use to restore my backup to the new RAID with) couldn't see the USB hard disk which contained the backup. I panicked about this for a while, but eventually managed to restore the keyboard and USB drive by unplugging the system, pulling the battery, waiting 15 minutes, putting the battery back and starting up. My mouse still didn't work, but once I got into Windows, it started to work after unplugging it and replugging it three times. All these devices work immediately when plugged into my laptop so I know they are OK.
Also, for the last few months leading up to yesterday, I've been having a problem with some USB devices not detecting properly when I startup. For example, the mouse will not respond until I either replug it (sometimes more than once) or on some occasions, just mash the buttons a few times at which point it kicks in. I also find that sometimes if I switch the keyset on my Zboard (which resets its USB connection), sometimes it won't get recognized as attached to the system unless I disconnect it or reboot. Both of these devices work perfectly in other systems I've tried them on and once I get them running in Windows, they don't kick out again unless the system is shut down (and they only fail to work on some boots, not all.) Every other aspect of the system works flawlessly.
I was wondering, has anyone else seen this before and is it something I can correct? Is this a sign that possibly the board is starting to die and I should look at upgrading? If I install an add-in USB card and disable the on-board USB, will I still be able to boot from USB devices? I cannot really afford a major upgrade right now, but I also can't afford to lose this system so I'll make the investment if this is a potential sign the board is failing. Thanks for reading and any help you can provide.
P.S. Here is a list of USB devices connected to my system, all of which I've tried disconnecting without fixing the problem:
Razer Copperhead Gaming Mouse (Latest Drivers & Firmware)
Ideazon Zboard (Latest Drivers)
Artec e48U+ Scanner (Latest Drivers, Powered By USB)
iMex USB 2.0 External HDD Enclosure
HP Photosmart 7600 Photo Printer (Runs Through Zboard USB Hub)

the PSU looks fine and should be capable of providing more than enough power - unless it is faulty for some reason. is it clogged up with dust? do you have another one you can test with?
does your case have its own USB port(s), if so disconnect from motherboard and see if that makes any difference
also, try going to Device Manager, uninstalling all the Host Controllers listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then rebooting to reinstall the drivers
i presume you have already referred to this sticky topic: If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.

Problems with K7N2 Delta mobo

Hey I'm new here because of a problem I've had with the K7N2 Delta motherboard. I've done some research and I've noticed the problem appear to other users of this mobo as well. Before I bought this mobo I had a soundblaster live! value sound card and when I intalled this mobo I thought I wouldn't need my soundblaster soundcard so I stored it away. Well after a few months my pantience ran thin on this mobo's sound problems. For one, it keeps making this static like sound sometimes, so I tried to install my soundblaster sound card on the new mobo, I downloaded the lastest driver for it and changed my default sound driver to the soundblaster live! that I have but it made no sound at all. After removing the nvidia nForce 2 sound driver I had on my mobo to see if it would help I still had no luck in making my soundcard work. Is it possible that the soundcard is conflicting with the mobo's internal audial capability?

Hi,
Vampir, and welcome to the forum
Try putting your your soundcard in PCI slot 3.
Is it the -L version or the ILSR version motherboard you are using!
Read this the thread at the link below then repost!:
Nobby's Moan Guide
Btw, how many IRQ's do you have 16 or 23?
To find your list of IRQ's:
Go to Start>Run> Then Type: "msinfo32" (without quotes). The "System Information" window should now be open. Click on + "Hardware Resources" in left pane - then on IRQ's in the list that appears below it. You should now see a list of all IRQ's in the left panel! Which can be cut and pasted if you wish!
They can also be found in Device Manager!

Problems with K7N2 Delta-L

Hi, I am new here, so hello :D
Well, I've just bought a MSI K7N2 Delta-L, beautifull board, with 2 x 256MB DDR400...
My actual PC, so:
MSI K7N2 Delta-L
Athlon XP 1700+ 1.5v DLT3C JIUHB
Thermaltake Volcano 7+
2 x 256MB PC3200 VM
Well, I updated bios to the last one (5.4) and all is running ok... but I have some problems.
1) I have problems when I try to overclock. One ot them, is that when I change a multiplier, o up the fsb... I must change jumpers, etc. etc. coz pc doesnt boot ... but later when I played with jumpers, it boot at speed that I wanted, like 10x200, etc. I dont know how to explain this problem! :(
2) Well, another problem is with "By H/W" option in vCore and Multiplier. When I select this option, the vCore sometimes go to 1.8v ... and when I select 1.8v, if it wants, its go to 1.6v in win... I dont know what to do, bios do what he wants.
3) Well, the last and I think most important problem, is when I try to change CAS Latency. I have 2.5-3-3-7 DDR400 memory. When I try to change CAS Latency to 2, in bios, its all right, it's boots, and figures CAS 2. But when I enter windows, ALL programs, says that CAS Latency is 2.5 !!! I tried lowering FSB to 133, and trying again CAS 2, but nothing, still CAS2.5 in win. I runned benchmarks, but no perfomance gaining with BIOS CAS2. What happens!!?? Another thing, was that if I put in BIOS, AUTO, when I chane FSB to 233, CAS Latency goes to 3, when I put FSB to 200, CAS Latency goes to 2.5, when I put FSB to 166, CAS Latency remains in 2.5, when I put FSB to 133, IT STILL BEEING in 2.5 .. !! It doesnt change... the same in FSB 100.
HELP!!! and thanks a lot :(
PD: Same problems with all bios.

WHY !!?? (200 x 11 says in win) ... SSHHIITT!
- Another problem... when I select by H/W in vCore... it goes to 1.8v!!!!
IS GOING ON WITH MY BOARD? Is the crappy bios?!
Bump all you want, with this kind of language I don't think you're going to get an answer. :O Read the rules of the forum!
I didnt know that "SSHHIITT" and ":censored:" were "bad words"; btw I deleted them.
next time say me that by PM.

Sata boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR board and can't load the os to the sata drives. Both drives are new and raid 0. The load sees no drives and the raid drives don't show in the boot device menu in the bios. What have I missed? Is this possable?
Thanks for any help,
Mike

so you made the array control plus f i assume
have you set scsi second to cdrom
then hit f6 as xp install starts
and feed in drivers
