K7D Master sucks - choose Asus instead

The MSI K7D Master dual motherboard does not work with an AGP card and a RAID SCSI card at the same time.
There is still a lot of issues that MSI needs to work out, and in the mean time I would advice you to go for the Asus Dual motherboard instead which seem to be a stable motherboard.
It is very typical for MSI to launch something before it is 100% finished, but except for some minor issues their boards are usually pretty good.

Sounds pretty much like the same scenario that happened with the nForce mobo they released, no?
Funny thing is they probably won't fix that very same issue. It sure seems that Micro-Star International won't understand until their sales go down.
Some companies strive to push the perfection envelope forward. MSI is one to get the quick buck without so much as a thankful gesture in the form of a BIOS/patch that would fix all major issues.
Or, how about releasing its products when they're actually completely market-ready?

  • K7D Master Vcore CPU2 = 2.5 !!!

    Help!  I have a K7D master motherboard, dual MP 2000+ processors.  CPU1 Vcore is set to about 1.6, and CPU2 is at 2.5.  
    CPU1 running at 45 degrees C, but CPU2 runs very hot, 67 degrees C at last check.  How do I lower it?
    FSB = 133, and I haven't done anything to overclock.  Both CPUs running at 1667 MHz
    Award Bios 6.0
    ANy help appreciated

    Cooling is probably the most important aspect of overclocking. Overclocking causes circuits to cycle faster, generating more heat. If the CPU is not cooled properly, your CPU will not run reliably and there is a very good chance that you will permanently damage your CPU.
    The heat sink and fan unit that Intel and AMD ship with its CPU are fairy good. However, for maximum stability, we need to get something better than that. For example, for CPU fans, we have Vantec Tornado, Thermaltake volcano 7+, CoolerMaster Aero 4 and Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu etc.
    Be sure that the cooling solution you choose is specifically designed for your processor. Improperly mounting a heat sink, using the wrong model can damage your processor.
    Also, the airflow in the case is very important. If heat cannot escape the case, the CPU is still at risk. Thus, more case fans are needed apart from the power supply's exhaust fan. Tidying up the cables inside the case can help too. In addition, clearing the dust in the case by using canned compressed air can enhance the airflow but never use vacuum cleaner as it may generate electrostatic and harm the IC components.

  • K7D Master L Game Port and Windows 2000

    Oooops, never mind got it working  .
    With, of course, absolutely no help from MSI tech support  . They suck out loud  .

    I called tech support because I was having the same problem and apparently the K7D Master-L motherboard doesn't have driver support yet. The tech said he'd call Taiwan (or wherever) about getting driver status and that I was to give him a call on Tuesday.
    It's bizarre to me that a dually board like this doesn't have 2003 support, even though 2003 has been out for, what, a year now?
    What driver did you use to get the hardware recognized? Can you post a link?

  • MSI K7D Master L - CRC Problem

    Hey gang.
    I've been having some CRC troubles with my MSI K7D Master L.  On most occasions, I cannot perform an install from either of the cd drives--eventually a CRC error will pop up.  In addition, data on the hard disks (i.e. registry settings) dissapear or are corrupted.  Which sucks.  ...and you can imagine how my slightly corrupted windows install is performing :(.  ?(
    Here's my specs:
    -AMD MB 2800+ Barton (Only one CPU installed right now)
    -1024 mb of Kensington ram
    -ATI 9700 Pro
    -Bios Version 1.3 (latest bios for Master L)
    -Enermax 431watt power supply
    -Creative Audigy Sound card (onboard sound disabled)
    Just for reference, I've ran all the diagnostics (memtest86, and that IBM hard disk checker) and no problems show up.  Only the motherboard and processor are new... all of the components, cables, drives, etc. were working well before I poped in the new MB.  Of course, I started fresh with a clean formatted drive for my windows install.  
    I've heard that my Enermax 431 is about a 10 on the blows-O-meter.  Could this be the problem?  I realize that my new AMD 2800MP is prolly pulling out a bit more juice than before.  
    I love this motherboard, and I know that CRC errors are pretty rare on the K7D (cough, unlike some other MBs), I'd hate to have to RMA it.    
    Thanks in advance ,
    JonnyLongTorso

    Replaced the Enermax 431 supply with an Antec 550 watt unit.  Still getting the errors.  
    Any ideas?

  • MSI K7D master L and Linux

    I just recently got a K7D master L and I have been doing some research on the mainboard while waiting for the ECC DDR memmory to arrive.  During my research, I found a series of messages to the kernel.org mailing list that concerned a 'southbridge' problem with the K7D when using a USB/serial mouse instead of a PS/2 mouse ( I only have USB mice now, but i do have the little green adapter to make them PS/2 )
    My question regards the progress in correcting the issue(s), which i understand is(are) an AMD 760 MPX problem.
    Is there a patch or BIOS update that can work around or correct this issue in the works?
    -sb

    Looks like I may have found my answer here in the AMD errata.

    Multiprocessor System May Hang While in FULL APIC Mode and IOAPIC Interrupt is Masked
    Products Affected. B1, B2
    Normal Specified Operation. The AMD-768 peripheral bus controller is designed to support FULL APIC mode in multiprocessor systems for system management events. If an interrupt is masked in the APIC controller of the AMD-768, then the corresponding interrupt message should not be sent to the processor via the 3-wire APIC bus.
    Non-conformance. The AMD-768 peripheral bus controller will send an interrupt message via the 3-wire
    APIC bus regardless if the interrupt is masked or not.
    Potential Effect on System. Since the processor had previously masked the APIC interrupt, it is not
    expecting to receive future APIC messages for the masked interrupt. The APIC controller will continuously send the interrupt message via the 3-wire bus until a processor accepts the message, causing the system to hang.
    A system hang has been observed when executing a server shutdown command in Novell Netware versions 5.0 or 5.1 while using a serial mouse. During the server shutdown sequence, software writes an invalid CPU ID to the IOAPIC redirection table, and the system does not complete the shutdown.
    Note:[/i] No failure has been observed when using a PS/2 mouse.
    Suggested Workaround. None.
    Resolution Status: No fix planned.

  • K7D Master - L whats the biggest cpu?

    Hi ppl
    When i bought my K7D Master - L it was simply because my old pc crashed and burned and i wanted to "play" with a dual system :D I didnt have the money so somethings were bought with the idea of upgrading later on. I bought 2 XP1600 cpu's and modded them and everythging seems fine BUT..... now i have the money i would like to upgrade them to the fastest cpu the K7D Master - L can handle. So what is it ? MP2200? MP2400? or MP2600?
    At the moment i use...
    256 reg'd Crucial pc2100 RAM
    430 True Power Antec PSU
    ASUS TI4200 GFX
    Also, im using BIOS 1.5 which i updated from 1.3. I am very weary about the BIOS updates for this motherboard as i have read sooo many update horror stories plus MSI keep taking the BIOS's away again ie. 1.6. Now i have got my hands on BIOS 1.83 yet im not wanting to update to it just yet (im tooo scared). Now could i update straight from 1.5 to 1.83 or should i get a hold of 1.6 and 1.73 ?
    Is MSI going to be putting 1.83 on the web soon or is it just a beta of sorts?
    Thanks for any help

  • K7D Master-L GPU suggestions

    I received a lovely Visiontek X1600XT AGP 256MB board for my birthday, but I've had terrible trouble persuading it to play nice with my K7D Master-L. It's happy enough booting but when the drivers actually get round to doing their thing it inevitably crashes the system after a short while and gives Windows a certain half-life before it becomes inoperable. So I'm fed up with trying.
    Does anyone have any positive experiences with any Xxxx or X1xxx ATI cards in the K7D Master? It's replacing an FX5900 (one of my favourite games has an nVidia aversion under XP).

    Quote from: Stu on 10-April-08, 05:48:34
    You could try the last BIOS available for this board and see if that helps:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=133&prod_no=664
    Actually I tried flashing to 1.91 but the awdflash.exe wasn't having it, hanging whenever it was given the name of the new BIOS image. So I sent a missive to MSI who confirmed that the only things I was missing out on was 2800+ support. Figured I'd ask them directly since there are often undocumented fixes in BIOSes that they never tell you about on download pages.
    Quote
    Alternatively, to determine if the video card itself is actually at fault, you need to try it in another known good working PC (which also has a decent PSU in). If it exhibits the same behaviour there, then it will need to be returned.
    I'm not sure I have a machine lying around that's actually AGP as opposed to one of those nearly-but-not-quite xGP slots. Certainly on my list of things to try out if possible.
    Quote
    As you are already using Windows XP SP2, that should already have the last drivers available for that AMD chipset.
    Actually not quite: it doesn't come with the 5.33 AGP driver, which I have been using.
    Quote
    Which VGA drivers are you using? Do you see any BSOD STOP errors?
    Using Visiontek's 8.3 drivers, I get BSOD STOP errors; whereas when using ATI's 8.3, I get display corruption instead (not usually right away; after a little bit of activity). In both cases the Windows install gets rendered unusable after a few reboots (won't boot even in safe mode, usually winds up requiring a few chkdsks before it gets to that point). I have had a 3D demo running on it at least initially before things went downhill.
    One thing I'll try tonight is booting with /onecpu - I've found a report or two where this helps. But I'd rather not lose too much more sleep or pull out too much more hair continually reinstalling Windows if noone else has had this kind of configuration working.

  • K7D Master-L upgrade problem

    Hi,
    I just recently bought a second-hand MSI K7D Master-L to upgrade
    my aging ASUS mobo. I used to have ASUS A7V with a 900mhz AMD Athlon
    processor on it with Windows XP Pro installed.
    Now the problem is that I just threw in the newer K7D Master with
    one processor, AMD Duron 1600 mhz. I did not do a fresh winxp install,
    although I wonder if it would have helped.
    The OS won't boot - it just reaches the startup screen (the one that
    comes just before login prompt) and then reboots. Every time it does
    that in the exact same point.
    I tried also to boot with Knoppix 3.6 Live CD and it hangs. I tried noapic
    option and the same problem. Another Live Linux distro (can't remember
    the name, included in the Ultimate Boot CD) shows: "apic error in cpu0" endlessly,
    and hangs. Tried to run cpu test, but it hangs - the same error.
    The bios version is 1.3, but I will have it updated to newest version within
    some days (I screwed up the bios update ) by a computer shop.
    Suggestions, anyone?
    Regards: Juha

    reinstall windows
    but try this first: How to repair your Windows installation
    BTW, did you mean K7T Master? i can't find a K7D Master. The CPU Support list for K7T Master indicates that your CPU is not supported anyway

  • K7D Master hangs

    Motherboard: MSI K7D Master (6501)
    BIOS: 1.8B2
    Processor: 2 x AMD Athlon MP 2400+
    RAM: 2 x 1GB DDR266 Registered ECC (Kingston)
    I'm building a system with a K7D Master, and the system freezes
    (hangs) when installing/running Windows 2003 Server. All components
    have been replaced/removed during the troubleshooting (RAM, video
    card, RAID controller, HDD, NIC and power supply).
    One consistent way to reproduce the problem is to start the
    installation of Windows 2003 Server from the CD, choose a HDD to
    install and select "NTFS quick format". The next progress bar jumps to
    20% and the system hangs.
    I also have tried with Windows 2000, but the problem continues.
    The problem goes away if we we lower the FSB from 133MHZ to 100MHz via
    the JFSB1 jumper. The problem also does not exist of we run the system
    with only one CPU.
    Any idea what could be causing the problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried with a new PSU (400W) that has been tested with another dual Athlon motherboard (not the MSI one). The same problem.

  • K7D Master L & Promise FastTrak SX4000 boot hang

    I am having major trouble getting a Promise FastTrak SX4000 RAID controller to work with a K7D Master-L (MSI-6501-030). I would appreciate any and all input, especially from those of you who have similar or identical hardware (same motherboard/chipset, same RAID controller or similar Promise card) and are able to get them working.
    Brief description :
    The SX4000 controller will hang at the IDE drive detection stage when installed on this board alone (plus an AGP video card) or alongside various combinations of PCI adapters, in various PCI slots available, and using various BIOS settings. The SX4000 appears to work fine in another Intel chipset system with the same AGP video cards. Both the motherboard and the SX4000 controller appear to have the latest BIOSes available.
    Symptoms :
    When the system is turned on with the SX4000 controller installed, it completes POST successfully, then loads the Promise FastTrak BIOS from the SX4000, and stalls after displaying "Scanning for IDE drives". Waiting for extended periods of time verifies the system is just 'stuck' here. It appears to be a 'hang' rather than a 'freeze', since the keyboard continues to operate and Ctrl-Alt-Del will still reboot the system at this point. The D-LED diagnostic LED bracket indicates (according to the included user manual), the system is at the "Initializing Hard Drive Controller" stage at this point.
    The system continues to boot fine if the SX4000 controller is not installed.
    The SX4000 controller functions fine on another system, a Dell OptiPlex GX400--a Pentium 4-based system built around the Intel i850 chipset. This OptiPlex GX400 has only a TNT RIVA 128 AGP video card installed, but has built-in audio and NIC. The SX4000 controller also works in this system using a GeForce2 MX TwinView AGP video card as well as a GeForce FX5600 AGP video card. It does not work on the K7D Master-L with either card, with the following exception. With only the TNT RIVA 128 AGP video card, it will in fact scan for IDE drives (indicated by ~10 - 15 dots/periods, ".", displayed after the "Scanning for IDE drives" message), but then will also hang as soon as the scan is complete without additional messages.
    All of the above is true whether hard disks are connected to the SX4000 controller or not.
    Disclaimer : I am not a newbie. I've built hundreds of systems over the past 10 years and know what I am talking about. :)
    What I have tried so far, and what I've been able to determine :
    I have gone through quite a bit of research about this. I've tried both Promise and MSI Web sites (both US and Taiwan), the Web at large through Google, as well as various newsgroups including alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar through Google, the MSI forums on their Web site, the AMDMB Forums, 2CPU forums, HardForum, AnandTech Forums, SysOpt forums, and Tom's Hardware Community. While there are many posts about the AMD 760MPX chipsets and various Promise RAID and non-RAID IDE controller cards, none describes my problem exactly. Hence my posting here.
    o There isn't a problem with the DIMM I am using on the SX4000. It's a 256 MB PC133 DIMM, with 8 HT33S328256K (32Mx8) DRAM chips on it. I am certain it's not a problem because the card works as expected in the Dell OptiPlex GX400 with the same DIMM. I have also tried a 64 MB PC100 DIMM (Crucial) and there is no difference--the SX4000 controller hangs the K7D Master-L, but works with the OptiPlex GX400.
    o Moving the card around to different PCI slots on the K7D Master-L doesn't make a difference, if only so to avoid a problem with a shared interrupt. I have tried the board in all 5 available PCI slots--the upper two 66MHz/64-bit PCI slots as well as the lower three 33MHz/32-bit PCI slots. I have looked at the IRQ assignment scheme for this board, and tried putting the SX4000 (alone or with other PCI cards--see configuration info at the end) in the first PCI slot, next to the AGP slot such that it doesn't share an IRQ with the video card. No luck. I have also tried the lowest PCI slot (#5), which should have a distinct IRQ ideally, based on the above scheme, but that also makes no difference.
    o Disabling various components, including all on-board peripherals (audio, LAN, serial, parallel, and USB ports, legacy USB emulation, ACPI), disabling all caching/shadowing (video/system BIOS) makes no difference.
    o The SX4000 controller came with the latest available BIOS according to the Promise Web site (http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=94&category=All&os=100), v1.02.0.5. Just for the hell of it, I copied the controller BIOS from the flash ROM to an image using Promise's own PFLASH.EXE utility and file-compared it with the latest BIOS on the Web site to ensure they are exactly the same.
    o The K7D Master-L came with BIOS v1.6, which, according to MSI's US (search for the K7D Master L) or Taiwanese (lists a v1.82, but I am hesitant since it doesn't recommend or caution against using it on the -L model of the motherboard) Web sites is not available. These list either v1.3 or v1.5 (the latter for the K7D Master) as the latest available that I can verify for K7D Master-L.
    o I tried downgrading the SX4000 controller BIOS to the other, earlier one available on the Promise Web site, to v1.01.0.15. No changes. The card still doesn't work in any slot on the K7D Master-L, and works fine in any slot on the OptiPlex GX400.
    o There *are* people on these forums who have similar systems, some with the same motherboard and controller, others with the same motherboard and similar cards like the FastTrak SX6000 who apparently are able to make it work. I know this only because they have open threads on other issues and happen to provide their configuration info. For example:
    --same mobo and controller card, apparently working as reported problems are other issues--

    --same mobo, very similar controller card--this person first asked on MSI forums and then walked the AMDMB, Tom's Hardware forums, with no response except a supposed "will not work" from MSI; the last one is another person describing my exact problem I think--only one so far--but with an SX6000--

    --same chipset though different mobo--

    --people building similar/identical setups--
    2CPU forum post #7
    AMDforums post #2
    AMDforums post #3
    What I have not done :
    o I have not tried downgrading the BIOS on the K7D Master-L to an earlier (pre-1.6) version. I don't know if this is wise, though, considering this appears to be a newer (with working USB 1.x) revision of the motherboard that might minimally need the BIOS currently on it.
    o I have not tried another SX4000 controller card, which I do not have. However, the card working fine on the OptiPlex GX400 indicates to me clearly that there isn't a functional problem per se on the card itself.
    o No components are overclocked.
    What I suspect :
    o The fact that the two GeForce-based cards behave slightly differently than the TNT RIVA 128 (see above about how the hang occurs slightly later with the latter card) indicates to me that the problem is some combination of the motherboard, RAID controller, and video card conflicting (conspiring?) together. I am looking for the plainest AGP video card I have around to further test this.
    o There appears to be a resource conflict *or* a BIOS/handover problem going on. It's not likely an IRQ conflict/sharing issue, since on the OptiPlex GX400, the SX4000 happily shares an IRQ with the video card (verified through the BIOS). The resources the SX4000 uses when on the OptiPlex GX400, as seen through its own BIOS/array utility are:
    Installed Memory Address FF1F8000   Size 256M
    Controller IRQ9
    ATA IO Address EC00
    XOR and HDMA IO Address E800
    Sequence Control IO Address E400
    Flash and SRAM Memory Address FF200000
    I do not know which of these are retained as is when in the K7D Master-L (the IRQ certainly isn't necessarily retained, but don't know about the rest). I also am not able to easily check for a conflict with these. I can verify that as Windows XP can see it (which does assign its own resources via ACPI, of course,) there are not system or motherboard resources overlapping with any of these.
    Also note this older K7T issue that may be relevant
    What I need help with :
    If you have a K7D Master-L and an SX4000, SX6000, or other similar Promise controller, please let me know how your system is configured.
    What other peripherals, particularly video card do you have?
    Which slots are all the cards in, particularly the SX4000?
    What BIOS version of the K7D Master-L are you using?
    What BIOS version is the SX4000?
    Many thanks in advance,
    MacGyver

    Hi, I believe of having your same problem..sorry, I do not speak well English,
    this is my system:

    IRQ 11
    RAID 5
    BIOS FASTRACK SX4000 1.02.0.5
    RAM Dimm 256Mb (test OK)
    this is my problem:
    1) the HD in master or slave the HD do not come recognized from the bios of the fastrack..HD not found..control cables ide or current
    2) cable select or removing jumper from the HD the these they come recognized, it allows to make the Array (tried raid 5, 0 and the 1) ago boot of the fastrack but at the moment of the boot from floppy or cd rom (as from bios of the mainboard) remains the underscore that flashes. The PC is not of an all out..con ctrl+alt+del reboot.
    3) tried to use also only 2 of aforesaid the HD, invert channel, user also channel 4, same problems
    4) it recognizes the HD in master if I mount cables IDE to the contrary.. with the blue connector on the HD..ma remains problem of the boot from floppy or cd
    5) I have tried to install others 2 not new HD (samsung 6,4 Gb + seagate4,6 Gb)..il fastrack recognizes them also in master..it allows the Array in raid 0 or raid1 but it remains the problem of the boot from floppy or cd.
    6) tried to move fastrack on other slot Pci (also on one of those to 33Mhz) identical problems
    7) bios mainboard all ok..also why if I do not make array..part the boot from floppy or cdrom..also if then to the fine ones it says nonexistent disc to me (lacks the Array..)
    8) changed to cables courrent..do not creed is that one the problem..Enermax 460W..e then if septum in a determined way jumper the recognized HD
    9) modernized bios..le tests son been made it is with that old one that with last (the 1.02.0.5)
    10)  tried to use other cable 80 pin connecting a single HD WD in master..l' HD it is not recognized!
    11) tried also to detach controller USB
    12) moved reader DVD in primary slave and also in secondary (it is master that slave)
    13) mounted same fastrack SX4000 on other pc..same problems
    14) I have modernized bios to version 1,3 (last the available on the site US..on the taiwanese site is version 1,82 but I do not trust myself)
    15) I do not know what other to make!

  • I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

    I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

    I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available?  Any idea why that would be?

  • K7D Master does not recognize 1GB Reg ECC modules

    I have an older K7D Master (2 CPU) which runs fine with 256 MB and/or 512 MB modules (all Kingston REG Ecc). The board also runs fine with 2 x 512 MB non ECC.
    But when I use Kingston 1GB modules Reg ECC (KVR266X72RC25/1024) I get an error:
    "AWARD Bootblock BIOS V1.0
    BIOS ROM Checksum Error
    INSERT System Disk ....
    The modules don't work when only one is installed, nor when both of them installed, nor in any combination with de 256/512 MB modules. 
    I already use BIOS v1.91, I cleaned CMOS, installed another PSU (500W). All to no avail.
    Doesn't the K7D master support the 1 GB modules? Or do I need other modules (brand/specs)?   ???
    Thanx.

    How many modules are you talking about? If you try to use 4 of them, I can imagine it won't work.
    Also, are they trouble free?
    Try Memtest86 on each of the sticks.
    I see this on the MSI product page:
    Quote
    • Supports eight memory banks using four184-pin DDR DIMM
    • Supports DDR SDRAM DIMM
    • Supports a maximum memory size of 4GB (registered DDR only)
    Note: Because of limitations imposed by the personal computer architecture and BIOS, the user-accessible memory is less than 4 Gbytes even if 4 Gbytes of physical memory is installed.

  • IPhone chooses Bluetooth  instead of handset

    My iPhone is paired to the handsfree device in my car ('07 Altima Hybrid), but to no other device.
    Sometimes when I am nowhere near my car, I try to place a call, and the iPhone automatically chooses Bluetooth instead of the iPhone handset. The call goes through, but I can't hear anything. I know I can select the iPhone handset by touching the corresponding button, but why should I have to do that in the first place?

    I have to concur with Locondcoco. I don't think this issue is Bluetooth specific. I performed a iPhone "Restore" via iTunes this morning before I left for work (backup, restore, and sync < 45 min). iPhone was back to normal operation. I choose to reframed from using by bluetooth headset. I had bought a Apple iPod composite cable (usb sync cable with A/V terminals to plug to your TV and stuff) and have been using it for a few months now. I use it when I need to recharge, sync to my work laptop, and use on the hotel TVs (wherever).
    I had taken some photos on the iPhone of notes I had written on a white board I wanted to email out and archive to the network share. After I sent the email and unplugged my iPhone from my laptop the iPhone started to act up again with the exact symptoms we have been discussing. Ironically enough 1.5 hours later, subscribed to this discussion, I got the email of your posts.
    I tried to connect and disconnect the iPhone from the sync cable a few time. No success. I got home and plugged in and removed the iPhone earbud headset. Like you said, it took a few attempts but finally reset itself. "Restore" not required. One interesting observation I noticed that while it was acting up that everytime I plugged in the earbud headset it automatically start playing a song from my play list. I am making a note to self to keep the earbud headset handy until I understand what triggers this issue.
    What gets me is that I have been using the sync cable and my bluetooth headset for months now (even before 1.1.4). I'm curious to know what happened this last weekends trip that all of a sudden triggered this issue. Thanks Locondcoco!
