Horribe sound out of k7n2 delta ilsr

Ive got a k7n2 delta ilsr, with 7.6 bios. ive had this problem for as long as i can remember having this board. It originally had 7.0 bios. Using headphones with the out jack on the back, the sound quality is fine. If I hook it up to my reciever Via a stereo/composite adapter, it sounds like total crap. There are low volumes, and a horrible squealing noise coming out of the center channel. If i turn my reciever to stereo and not surround, it still sounds crappy and low volume. Ive tried everything, looking for shorts on the mobo to the case, and nothing. Its been there forever. Ran mobo out of case, still there. Im beginning to thing that it might be damaged and I might have to rma. What do you think

Hi,
This could be a feedback problem. Do you have a microphone attached? If so either disable it or turn the Mic volume down using the Windows sound options.
Just a thought!

  • Quick sound question on K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    Ok, I've set a new high score in AM3 for my system...Sooo close to 45k...Anyway, I need to lower my temps to get anymore out of it...I was just wondering if I would see any kind of improvement using a SB Live 5.1 over the on-board audio??...I'm using on-board sound right now and rather than going through the process of testing it out(it's been a long week and I'm feeling lazy, so sue me...), I was hoping you guys would know for sure which is better for benching, gaming or overall performance, SB Live 5.1, or the on-board Nvidia sound?? Thanks, Silly

    AC-3? Now I'm confused...I get sound out of the speaker when running the wizard, I just tried an audio CD and I got no sound at all out of the center...The same with the games, which I know was working before with SB Live...I don't think it's the game...I believe I am not doing something correctly, but what?...Last week I installed the not so new anymore 4.24 drivers, but can't even remember now if it worked with the origional drivers(I drink sometimes)...Thanks for the speedy replies Richard!! If you can think of anything I may have overlooked please let me know...

    I pretty much get the same error as SiliconMan (The computer that was tried to connect did not respond...)
    I ended up giving up on it for the time being, just using my SMC NIC. Would be quite interested in finding out what the problem is though.
    Anyone else in the same boat?
    Hi,
        Your problem is not the same, SiliconMan is trying to connect with a dial-up modem not LAN. Your problem sounds like it may be configuration, do a search on this post, I'm sure you will find people with onboard LAN troubles. It's hard to troubleshoot though since you didn't provide any info about your computer. Good Luck

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Noisy Northbridge fan

    Hi
    I'm having a problem with the nforce chipset fan on my K7N2 Delta-ILSR.
    It makes a horrible wailing sound when cold booting and is only running at about 2500rpm instead of 4000rpm.
    It does this usually for about 30 seconds then runs normally.
    Does it just need cleaning   or is it on it's way out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
      I had the same problem. All I did was loosened the left screw(when looking from the front of the case) until the noise stopped. Give it a try!!!

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Dead? Help!

    Hey all,
    Well, the other day I was on my computer playing a game when my mobo fan started making an odd noise (as if switching rpm), so I took off the side of my case and took a look inside. Everything seemed to be functioning properly, then I switched my cpu fan speed via the pci slot speed control. As I switched from High-Medium-Low, I noticed that the fan actually slowed to the point where I could see the blades spinning, at least for a second or so. I found that rather odd, seeing as how I've never seen a fan (especially a cpu fan) slow to the point that I could see the blades spin. Anyway, a couple of hours later, I shut down and went to sleep.
    The next day I had my comp on for about maybe 30mins to an hour or so when suddenly I heard an alarm from the computer speaker, so I was like, ":censored:?" since I had never heard it before. It was evidently the temperature warning, which I had set to 70C. So I shut down within 15 seconds and opened up the side of my case.
    I noticed that the cpu fan wasn't moving at all (usually I'd open the case in time to see the spin-down). So I turned the computer back on and the fan didn't budge, so I immediately powered down, assuming that the CPU Fan had died. Later on, I hooked the fan itself up to a free power cord in my sister's computer and booted up, along with the speed controller, flipping from medium to high to low without any problems.
    I then did screwed the fan back to the heatsink in my comp and booted up. I went into the bios an noticed that the rpm was 8k, which is way too high for my fan (normally 5k). So i began switching from high, medium, to low once again, then I saw that the rpm reader in the bios went to 0. So I looked back in the side of my case and saw that the cpu fan was once again dead. At this point I concluded that it was the fan and was about to order the Volcano 12.
    A day later I placed the fan inside my sister's computer on a free cord, yet again, and yet again, it worked fine.
    I once again put it in my computer to test and this time it worked fine, even while switching between speeds. Unfortunately, I then noticed that the mobo fan was not moving, then began to move.
    Well, I'm guessing now that it's simply the motherboard that has a short, since both the motherboard fan as well as the cpu fan have randomly been dying the past few days. The motherboard fan; however, has switched rpm many times in the past from 5k to 3k.
    It could also be a PSU problem, but I have Antec 400watt psu and it's been working fine for the past 2 years, so I doubt it. I've had the motherboard for a little over a year. I upgraded my cpu from 2200+ to 3000+ in July. That's also when I bought the cpu fan. The motherboard fan began fluctuating in rpm noticeably back in April or May of this year.
    Yesterday, I used the computer again and had it on for about 2 hours or so and I had speedfan monitoring the temps and the rpm. The temps stayed relatively stable: 48 cpu, 44 mobo.
    But alas, the RPMs were totally [blame me for the swear filter] up. At one point, both the mobo and cpu fan speeds were reading 0, even though both continued to spin within the case and the temps remained the same. Then after 30mins or so, they cpu fan began reading again at 40,000-42,000rpm, which is obviously incorrect, seeing as the fan is rated for around 5k. I got/get the same readings in the bios, both fans reading at 0rpm as they continue to physically spin.
    Also, during a number of times that I've started up the comp within the past few days, the motherboard northbridge fan wasn't spinning at all and didn't begin to until a few minutes into my windows session.
    Also, I took out the NB fan and noticed a slight crack in the back of it.
    I was considering simply just buying the Volcano 12 and the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum rather than RMAing the mobo. Then perhaps an Antec 550W psu, if necessary.
    Any ideas what I should replace and in which order? And has anybody else encountered any similar problems with this mobo (at least with the mobo rpm, which has been a prob for about 6months on and off)?
    I bought the mobo along with a 2200+ in July of 2003. I upgraded the ram from 256 to 512 in April 2004 (which is around the time I started hearing rpm probs with the mobo fan) and I upgraded the cpu in July of 2004
    Many Thanks!  
    My Specs are as follows:
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    Antec SX1040B2 File Server Case
    400watt Antec PSU

    Could be a fluctuating PSU that's breaking down power to the MB. You have a whole lot of components dragging that PSU down. With what you have in your rig I would run either an Antec or Enermax 550W. Best way to be sure is to borrow a PSU or buy one from a store with a good return policy so that you can return it if indeed it turns out to be the MB. If I don't have your board here on my bench to test the only thing I can suggest to you is to swap out components unfortunately.

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR and XP2500+ - strange overclocking problem

    Relevant configuration data:
    - K7N2 Delta ILSR (with 7.6 BIOS version)
    - Barton 2500+ (AQXEA)
    - Arctic Silver 3 thermal compound
    - GlobalWin CAK 38 (7000 rpm DELTA, all copper)
    - 2x512 MB Corsair XMS cmx512 3200c2 (it should run 6-3-3-2 at 200MHz on AMD systems according to older documents, and on 6-3-3-2.5 at 200MHz  on AMD systems according to newer documents)
    - PSU Enermax EG465P-VE (430W)
    - Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB
    - Battlefield 1942 game  
    I have 2 seperate problems:
    1. When I try to set my proc on 13x166 (Barton XP3000+) BIOS won't recognise that settings and it gives me real-clock rate of 833MHz (and no name, just "Athlon XP"). Just a note, when I set proc to be XP2600 or XP2800, everything is great in BIOS and in real conditions (Windows, Battlefield). I had 7.4 version of BIOS and I tried with new 7.6 version and nothing has changed (as I suspected). Can someone help me about this ?
    2. Second problem is a bit more serious.
    I'm having problems setting my proc to work with 100% stability on 200MHz FSB speed.
    This is what's going on:
    - Behaviour in Windows is pretty much good (no random restarts).
    - Sometimes (on rare occasions) blues screen appears when I'm in windows or some program. Last time when it appeared it said something about "memory managment". I tried to lower memory settings but nothing seemed to be better.
    - If I try to freshly install windows on 200 MHz FSB in 98% of the cases installation will be abrupted (blue screen or resets) or it won't even start to install.
    - What's bothering me the most is this: Battlefield 1942 is crashing on regular basis. Sometimes it can hold for 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes half an hour. But on certain moment, puff, and I'm out in Windows. Not a computer restart, just it throws me on desktop.
    I've been checking the temperature on regular basis when I'm playing. It is always low.
    I've tried to raise core voltage all the way to 1.8v, but same thing happens.
    I've tried to lower memory settings, but I get same BF crashing.
    I don't know what else to do or what other component to acuse for instability.  
    Can somebody please help me ?
    Thank you in advance !

    ...loosen up your memory timings to add stability, and give it a try again at the 200 mhz fsb without changing the multiplier.
    I drove the memory according to the Corsair's specs, and I drove it on lower settings also. No change.
    Quote
    also you may wish to go up to 2.7 volts for your ram, and 1.7 volts on your processor to add stability, remember sometimes you have to go up gradually a step or two at a time and keep it there for a day or two before you reach your top OC.
    I might try upping ram voltage but that doesn't sound good, because it IS DDR 400 memory (an excellent one too !).
    It's not like I'm trying to drive it over 200MHz. 200MHz is this memory's normal frequency.
     Quote
    Newest video driver from ATI may help with the stability on your gaming.
    Already have newest drivers.
    Anyway, thanks for the tips !  

  • Possible K7N2 Delta-ILSR Problem?

    Hi all.
    I'm after some advice, if I may be so bold.
    As you can see from my sig, i'm running a k7n2 Delta ilsr mobo with a 333MHZ Athlon XP3000+, which is being correctly reported.
    I've got 2x 512Mb DDR400 modules in slots 1 & 2.
    A powercolor Radeon 9600 Pro 256Mb in the AGP slot.
    My problem is this :
    When playing a game (IE BF1942, Tiger Woods 2004, NFS Underground), the game will play fine for the first few minutes, then will either exit to the desktop or reboot the machine.
    I've updated all the drivers I can think of (Latest NVidia nforce drivers, latest ATI catalyst, latest mobo bios)
    I've done a burn in test in SiSoft Sandra, which doesnt reveal anything out of the ordinary.
    Now i'm stumped.
    Any1 got any ideas where I can go from here?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    List Power supply amp ratings from sticker on its side for 3.3 volt, 5 volt and 12 volt. mim is 3.3 24 amps, 5 30 amps and 12 16 amps these or mim more is better.
    Download and run memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/
    Lower memory timings, if Traz 6 3 3 2.5 try 7 3 3 2.5 or 8 4 4 2.5 or lower cas to 3 if 2.5.
    Check IRQ should have 22 if not reload XP with APIC enabled in bios and PNP disabled. PNP is a hold over from 95, PC2001 APIC Standard works much better with XP/2000.
    Even if ram shows errors it may not be bad may just not support the Nvidia chip controlers.
    Up grade Nvidia unified drivers from Nvidia web sit not the one on MSI Nvidia one newer.
    http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
    Do you have the lattest drivers for sound card I've had them cause lots of problems if driver not compatiable.
    Flash bios to 7.6 if haven't done so yet.
    Just wrote this in another forum and copied to here.

    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,

  • Soundstorm won't open! nForce2 k7n2 Delta-ILSR

    Yo guys.
    For some reason my Soundstorm control panel wont open.  Every time i try and open it encounters a problem and needs to close before the window even shows up. In the past I've also had problems where my onboard LAN and sound devices disable themselves.  It's a confusing problem, basically even if i try and reset things, like ipconfig /release /renew, it says that i can't renew it because the file needed for it isn't anywhere to be found.
    If you need any more information, just ask and i'll give it to you.
    -d1git

    I'm having a similar problem.   I lost my 5.1 sound and it can't be solved by completely uninstalling drivers because that can't even be done.
    Specs are as follows:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    AthlonXP 2500+
    1gig RAM
    ATI Radeon 9100 128mb
    WD 120GB HD
    WinXP SP1 + updates
    When I first built this thing a year ago, the sound, nForce sound control panel worked fine on SP1.  About a month ago, I had some issues with the onboard LAN which led to a reinstall (under the "upgrade" option).  The "LAN problem" turned out to be a NIC/hub hardware compatibility issue, so it's irrelevant here.  After it got done installing, I lost all sound.  When I double-clicked on the nForce sound control panel, an error of SndStorm.exe came up.  I tried to install over the drivers with the new unified drivers, but the nVidia setup program starts up, gets to 100%, then does nothing.  I uninstalled the Dolby MCP and audio controller through the device manager, but before the computer restarts after an "uninstall," a box popped up saying something about "uninstall failed" but Windows shuts down too fast for me to read the rest of the error message.  Did this several times.
    On subsquent sound driver uninstall/reinstalls, it's been hit or miss.  Windows would detect the devices and use the drivers it finds (or if I direct Windows to the driver files I downloaded).  Sometimes I get sound from the front 2 speakers and the sub, sometimes I get no sound.  
    So I tried to reinstall ("upgrade") WinXP+SP1 again, then I went to add/remove software and got rid of all nVidia drivers, restarted.  I can't remove "nVidia nForce Utilities" at all.  Under the add/remove program entry, it doesn't say how many MB's the utilities take up, nothing about how frequently it was used.  When I hit add/remove, the error is simply "installation failed."  Clearly the uninstalls aren't clean, and I'm willing to go manually remove things from the registry if I have to, but I don't even know where to start.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this other than a clean wipe?  Thanks.

  • Help! amd xp3000+ barton temp's.... k7n2 delta ilsr

    Hi all, (sorry for the lengthy post)
    Ive recently built a new system based on the K7N2 DELTA ILSR, great mobo, however my cpu temps are extremely high! on idle 48C and on load nearly 60C. the mobo temp hits approx 40c on load and 34 on idle.
    I had an issue with cooling as the cpu heat diode would freeze my pc as it was hitting temps of 58c on idle. i was using the coolermaster aero 7+.... no good at all!!!!! even when on full rpm. Now im using a vantec 80mm fan on a Thermalright SLK-800A. much improved, however still extremely hot.
    after reading this review (section headed: Heat Dissipation: Thermal Conditions and S2K Bus Disconnect) :
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/athlonxp-3000.html
    ......on "S2k bus disconnect" created by AMD for the barton range.
    As the article states, it reduces Cpu temps ALOT!! but im not too sure ion how to activate it or even if my MSI motherboard supports it....
    Can anyone shed some light???
    system:
    Radeon 9800
    1GB 3200 Ram
    xp 3000+ Barton
    Sound Audigy 2
    Thanks, Sav

    Sorry about the long reply!!! the first thing i would like to say is why does this happen at 58C even with the bios temp settings diabled??? pehapes MSI could Answer this?
    I have spent countless hours trying to fix this problem and a lot of £££. A bit of background to me I am a design engineer and i like my PC to work well. I have the following main components
    xp3200+ based system (Max die 85C)
    with dual 512ddr sticks running at 400mhz
    Matrox Parphilia
    10K SATA hard disk
    7,200 133ATA hard drive
    Plus motherboard Nvidia chipset
    these all kick out a lot of heat the (CPU contributing 76.8w).
    first i started out with a very cheap case and standard amd heatsink. I found after about 5 minutes my pc kept crashing i automatically thought that it was probably the case temperature so monitored this found every time cpu reached 58C it crashed on the dot. The only conclusion i can draw from this that this MB has some thermal protection that can not be switched off but i am guessing perhapes MSI would like to answer this.
    I quickly decided as an engineer that the best thing would be to go and buy a aluminuim case with lots of case fans (Basically a big heatsink itself). After a lot of searching i settled for a Coolermaster ATC110. It has four case fans all run at full speed all the time. Now this stoped the crashing problem it only now crashes if i put it under continous loading. Then i went out and bought a new cpu heatsink to replace the amd standard one. This had a minor effect on cpu temp but again under high loads the system crashed at 58C. Obvoiusly as an engineer i satred to think that the amount of noise the system with all its fans going at max is like being put in a wind tunnel.
    I then turned to looking at the thermal diserpation requiremnts of all the bits in my system. I worked out that i need to disserpate 281Wmax of heat with my current setup. The kind of heat a small electric fire produces!!!. I begun to wounder if i could shift enough air through the two exhaust fans at the rooms ambient temp to do this. After some calculations I found that my case exhaust case fans are only just surfficent to disspate this amount. Which could explain this the crashing. because the higher the case temp the lower the capability of the heatsinks to conduct heat away from the item.
    In the end i gave up with active cooling methods (heatsinks and fans) and realised my only option was to go for external cooling. I now have the system setup with a koolance exos cooling both hardisks graphics card cpu and MBchipset. I know this is very extreme but the case fan noise got to me now i have disconected all case fans except for the ones in my thermaltake power supply which are virtually silent. After about 12 evenings of testing and installation I now have a system which is not only stable but the CPU temp is only 32C.
    Obvoiusly getting the heat out of the case is a good idea. The Exos is only running at it's lowest setting which means the  fans arnt making any noticable noise.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY IT DOES NOT CRASH ANY MORE. AND THERE IS THE PSSIBILTY OF OVERCLOCKING.
    The question still remains though why 58C?

  • 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...

  • Strange phantom restarts on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Just wanted to see if I could get opinions on this. My MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo runs real nice now, but still, on occasion, very rare and intermittently, it will just restart. Not likely a heat issue, as the temps are nice and low. Also, not just happenning when I'm playing a game or anything strenuous. Did it once while checking email, once during install of an MS Office program, and once during a game. Could it be my old Gforce 2 MX 200 video card, as the picture sometimes gets wavy (like fine waves on an ocean), and the old computer it was in did similar things, or is it common with this mobo.
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
    Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
    1026 MB Kingston DDR RAM (2x512 Dual)
    Gforce 2 MX 200 AGP 4x
    WD 60 GB 7200 RPM

    I had errors on test 4 not 5 with Winbond 2-512 Dual Channel called Hardcore Cooling and they said that getting errors with memtest86 may not mean that the ram is defective, it may not be compatible with the memory comtrol and they had me RMA it back. I also was not able to run the ram stable at there advertized rate of 6 2 2 2 it was only stable at 8 3 3 2.5
    I replaced it with OCZ after talking to there Tech support people about compatiblety problems with the Nvidia chipset. Sense I installed the OCZ I only had one ram reboot and when I checked I was running the voltage at 2.5 and OCZ said that I should be running at 2.6. They also said that I could run it up to 2.8 with no worry.
    Look on manufactor web site to see what ram timing yours should be running at and what voltage, Auto setting in Bios is not always the best setting.
    If it still not stable at manufactor spec than I'd talk to who ever you bought it from about replacing it or refund and buy something thats on the Nvidia compatible list.
    Most ram manufactors have a list of motherboards that there ram will work on but sometimes the newer boards like K7N2 or not listed yet as still working that out.

  • FLASH BIOS MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR ????????

    I am trying to flash the BIOS of my K7N2 Delta-ILSR board. I follwed all the instructions from the MSI Web but I can't get it going. I booted from Win ME & Win98 but could not get into C: drive. So I used Command Prompt from Window to get  into the C: drive and follwed the Flash Bios Procedures. I keep getting the message: AwdFlash No Support WinNT/2000/XP OS
    I got problem with the temp after I updated the BIOS. I wanted to flash it back to the old Bios. Please help me out
    Thank you
    My system:
    WinXP Pro
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR - RAID BIOS Option ???

    hi ho,
    i have my 2 storage devices pluged into the promise 376 onboard controller. they are not connected as a real raid (not mirror nor real stripe). my OS is win2k on the first sata device and everything was fine for a long time.
    but now when my system boots, it detects the ide drives and then i see the irq board.
    right after that the system stops and tells me 'disk boot failure'. so i don`t get the chance to configure my raidcontroller or my sata devices.
    it is as the controller is deactivated. i remember a bios version where you could activate and deactivate the sata controller. but in my bios (right now it is v7.8) there is no such option.
    i have tested so far:
    - reset cmos
    - flash bios v7.5 to 7.8
    - disconnected sata drives
    anyone with similar problems or any suggestion?

    watch the bottom of the screen after pressing Enter on the "Welcome to Setup" screen. There will be some moments of files being loaded, and then you should see a message appear which says "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver". This message will only stay on the screen for a couple of seconds, so press F6 as soon as you see it appear. After this is done, you will see other messages appear, and it will act as though nothing is happening, but eventually a screen will appear which will allow you to install the drivers for the sata controller.
    specify a device press S, select "win 2000 promise fasttrak 376 controller" it will read floppy and load, dot not remove floppy yet, continue win2000 install it may nead to access floppy to finish installing raid driver, did you do it like this.
    try making some floppy boot disks and boot to floppy instead of cd.

    when you say there not listed, where did you see this? they wont be listed, windows will search for fasttrak controller so it will see sata's conected to it with out you knowing, so long as you load the controller from floppy that came with mobo as above.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (MS-6570) BSOD problems grrr

    I recently purchased this board and although it is an awesome product, I'm having a problem with BSOD's when I play a game for a certain period of time
    Specs:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR  (7.6 BIOS)
    AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton
    512MB (2x256MB) Samsung PC-2700 DDR memory (2.5-3-3-6 1T)
    MSI 128MB GeForce4 Ti 4200 (4X AGP)
    NVIDIA nForce on-board sound
    Western Digital 80GB drive w/ 8MB cache
    MSI X48 CD/CD-RW/DVD combo drive
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    PSU:
    Turbolink 420watt (came with case)
    +3.3V is 28A
    +5V is 40A
    +12V is 18A
    So what happens is I get a STOP error during the game that shows the kmixer.sys driver as the culprit. Sometimes it's accompanied by PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA too. I read somewhere that kmixer.sys has to do with windows audio and that it's a 3rd party driver issue or a memory issue. I'm using the latest NVIDIA 3.13 nForce platform drivers. I ran Memtest lastnight for 12 hours straight and 0 errors. I'm thinking the memory may not be compatible with the board nor dual channel, is this possible? I have also tried several different drivers for both video and chipset including MSI's own and I still get the kmixer.sys BSOD when playing games. My previous motherboard was an MSI KT3 Ultra2-R (MS-6380E) which I had no issues with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    --Update--
    I just tried to play a game with audio disabled and it crashed this time with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with nv4_mini.sys as the problem. My IRQ table shows some sharing, but device manager shows no conflicts.

    Ok I tried running the DTM-CB3 module which is nForce2 approved at 3-4-4-11 2T timings and experienced the same result even at 2.6 and 2.7v. I tried both in dual-channel and same thing happened. However, I downloaded a program called Prime95 and ran the CPU torture test and the system returned a fatal error within the first few minutes. CPU Temp was at 57 C and the warning beep (set to 60C though) sounded intermittentley which is strange. I let it cool down then ran the torture test again and about 5min. later the system either seized completely or the program crashed. IE has also crashed randomly on me. I did this several times, before trying a different FSB/DRAM ratio. So I left the system at 200 FSB and used a 6:5 ratio so my memory was running at DDR333 and processor was a 3200+. I ran Prime95 again and the system locked up just as it did the other times.  So after I did this a few times with consistent results. I went back and set the FSB to 166 and tried a 5:6 ratio so the memory was DDR400 and processor was the normal 2800+. I ran it again and to my suprise it passed all the tests and after an hour of this, I tried a game and that was perfectly fine as well. I checked the temps and CPU was only 45 C this time. So I'm thinking the processor can't handle anything above 50C or it's just plain overheating. I ordered a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF today which is tested up to 3400+ so this should fix my problem. If not, then I'm going to replace the memory with a 512MB Geil PC3200 golden dragon dual-channel kit.
