K7N2 DELTA. CD-RW problem

Hey guys, since this is my 1st post, i hope i might be of some help in the future, oh and Merry Christmas to everyone too. Well, my problem is: I have a MATSHITA CW-7585 ( yes its old) and whenever i try to burn something using various progs, it says that " this cd is not a recordable disc" each time?? I've tried connecting it in slave and master , but notihng changes
XP 2500 Barton
512 DDR
MSI Geforce 4 ti,
Win XP 32-bit
420 watts power supply

yes it does with my ohter pc which is running XP sp1 as well. Like i said, whenever i put an emppty cd-r/rw it says that this disc is not recordable

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Memory problems

I'm trying to burn in a system in a 50 deg C (122 deg F) room for a minimum of 12 hours. The main system components are as follows:
Motherboard: MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Memory: 2x512 OCZ PC3200 EL
My problem is that the burn-in software continues to freeze up during the memory test. I've already contacted the software manufacturers and the software is stable. It's a problem with the way the motherboard handles the memory. I've tried putting the memory in dual channel configuration and changing the timing settings in the BIOS. The SPD settings are 2.5-3-3-7. Right now I have them at 3-4-3-8. It's a lot more stable than it was under the default settings but it still freezes up sometime after 7 hours. Unfortunately, I wasn't around when it froze so I don't know exactly how long it lasted. I can say that after 7 hours, it wasn't showing any slowdown in performance. If anyone could think of anything else I might be able to do to get the system stable, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the suggestions. The CPU FSB is 200, so it's already matched up there. And we have a ton of fans already. There are two in the front, 4 inside and 1 on the back. It's a custom case, 2u high. The power supply is oversized and more than adequate to provide the required power. I have four of these units running right now. Two with 2x512 sticks and two with 1x1024 sticks. For each combination, the memory clock speed for one is 166 and 200 for the other. I have been loosening up the memory timings trying to get the system stable, but it still isn't. If the power supply is good, and I'm unable to cool the system anymore due to limititions within the case, is there anything you can think of to stabilize the system. Maybe other settings in the BIOS or suggestions on how to go about getting good timings for the memory. Thanks.

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!

Weird K7N2 Delta (or sth) problem...

Hi all, I'll be quick because I need an answer to my problem as soon as I can...
Today I switched my old Albatron KM18G-Pro with an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, because I had problems with a heatsink on Albatron's Micro ATX mobo...
Ever since I did that, 3dmark01 score has gone at about 1000 (from 13200 to 12100) down, using the exact same drivers for VGA (Triplex Millenium Silver Ti4800SEV 128MB) mobo (nForce drivers v2.03 or 2.45 doesn't matter...). I can see that all tests from approximatelly Nature test and beyond are running choppy. I'm seeing choppy gameplay on screen but the fps on Nature seem correct. My refresh rate is set at the same rate as it was before (75Hz on my Eizo LCD 15" monitor). Fill rate runs too much choppily though the score must be correct. Tried switching to 4x mode but nothing happened. I'm really frustrated here guys so please help me...
ps. sorry for my bad english but I was in a hurry...

hi and welcome to this forum.
the score is not interesting and dont really say much.
whats interesting is how it works in games.
tried any games?
new install of xp?
irq conflicts ?
bye

Mystery Device on K7N2 Delta L in problem state

I have the k7n2 delta L motherboard with an athlon xp 2800+ processor and I'm running windows 2000 pro sp4. In the device manager under "system devices" I have a device listed as "motherboard resources" with a yellow exclamation symbol and the properties indicate code 14 restart computer to get the device to work properly. I've done this to no avail and also reinstalled the drivers from the msi cd. The properties say its on the pci bus and uses input/output range 0060-0060 and 0064-0064. It also indicates driver version 5.0.2195.6717. What is this device and how do I get it to work?

Got a clue from German forum, I'll quote:
- Fixed the exclamation point under Motherboard Resources of Device manager in Windows XP when use USB keyboard/mouse and set as "Support via BIOS".
So I checked the driver for the keyboard and it was version 5.0.2195.6717 same as the "motherboard resource" with "!" . So more details: the keyboard I was using for my new system was my old compaq presario usb keyboard with funky "easy acess keys". And I had usb keyboard support enabled in bios. So I shut down, removed the keyboard and replaced it with a standard ps/2 keyboard and rebooted. And voila the motherboard resource no longer had a "!" next to it. Anyway since it wasn't causing a fatal problem I'm back to using the compaq keyboard until I get another standard boring biege ps/2 keyboard. I'm glad I didn't go on a vmware goose chase.

K7N2 Delta ILSR memory problem

I have a K7N2 Delta ILSR board with Athlon XP 2500 with 2 Gig of Mushkin Black Line ram (the ones that are
suppose to be CL2). I change the FSB to 200, and my memory won't run at CL2. Want to raise the Dram voltage
to 2.8V to see if it would make a difference. I looked all over this site for the modded bios 7.8. Does anyone
have the modded bios??? Any help would be appreciated.......

He/She overclocked the 2500+, to make it become a 3200+. Done it myself, but it mostly works with the first step of the 2500+. - That means the overclock forum.
Well, CAS 2 is a very tight timing, which I don't think is possible. In general on Socket A systems:
- FSB 133/266 --> CAS 2 or 2.5
- FSB 166/333 --> CAS 2.5
- FSB 200/400 --> CAS 3

[nForce] K7N2 Delta@ LSR stability problem

Okay gang...here's the scoop. Recently purchased the K7N2 Delta2 LSR and equipped it with an AMD XP-2600 (locked), 2X512 Rosewill Dual-Channel sticks, plus Samsung 80gb HDD and ATI Radeon 9000pro AGP. Built the system with no hassle and clean installed Win XP Home. Just wanted to get the system up, so left BIOS setting where they were for a couple of days. Noticed that the processor was not being recognized, so checked the BIOS and realized FSB was set to 133 (processor at ~1500mhz). I changed the FSB to 166 with multiplier of 11.5 (which, I believe is correct for my 2600 Barton). Voltage is at 1.65v. Memory is at DIMM slots 1 & 3 (dual channel) and memory voltage is at 2.7v. (Timings at 2.5,3,3,7) After I made these changes to the BIOS and rebooted, Win XP ran checkdisk, and reported no errors. The problem now, is that graphics-intensive stuff (i.e., games) cause system to freeze after about five seconds. When the processor was underclocked, I didn't have this problem. I'm not interested in over-clocking... just want it to be stable at stock speeds. Other applications (Word, Excel, IE, Outlook Express) run fine. My ATI Radeon 9000pro is a 4X AGP card (I have 8X disabled in BIOS), and the voltage is at 1.5v. I don't think this is a PSU problem (400w), and only noticed the problems since changing the FSB to where it was supposed to have been all along. Am I missing something obvious?

Board runs best with fsb:dram at 1:1 Not sure what speed memory you have but needs to run at same speed as fsb, ie 166 Mhz =333 ddr.
I found bios b3 to work best for me. Give that a go.
Give make/model of psu with max amps to +3.3v, +5v and +12v. See my signature for example.
I found that with other bios I need high performance setting in cell menu at optimised, so check that.
Search on this forum for my username and keyword 'bios' for lots of other posts.
Good luck

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Power problem?!

So I worked all last night trying to fix the damn thing. It wants to keep powering off on its own. So I unplugged all the devices from the board and powersupply except the only needed items, the board, power switch, and memory (cpu fan of course left on). Still turns off. Reset bios, still. Put system into safe mode by the jumper. Still.
Okay so I gave up, and took the board, memory and processor into a local place that sells these boards. They have seen a few problems with them. 4 hrs later, $55 short they tell me the heat sink wasn't on the chip right so it caused the board to think it was hot and shut itself down right away! He said he ran it for most of the day. So I am like whatever! He left it on there how he had it. I took it home, hooked it back up, and there it goes again!
The 1st night it ran fine, no hd, but I ran it the whole evening. The 2nd night I powered it up, it started to do this. Nothing changed. So now I am getting ticked off. I am about to take my whole case, and system back to those guys and tell them see....
Anyone who has used this board have any ideas? I have built many systems and this is the first one that is being a pain in the butt.
PowerMAX 400w powersupply.
LP-8800D MODEL #

Powersupply was brand new and came with the case. :(

Powersupply is rated at:
+12v - 25amps
+3.3v - 28a
+5vsb - 2.0a
Power supplies can go bad at anytime.Take the whole thing up there.Case and all and let them check it out.BTW all power supplies aren't equal. IMHO buy an Antec TruePower 430 or 480 watt

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, Mouse problem & Video off problem solved!!!

I find the following information that I collected very interesting at the very least...
Here goes...
The video off problem that I was having was directly linked to the mouse. Here, let me explain the video off problem. In the BIOS Have the Standby mode set to S3. The problem occurred when I started windows, then went into standby, then started back up, then restarted the computer, the monitor would act as if it were in sleep mode, or rather there was no signal being sent to the monitor. Well the odd way I fixed that is by plugging in a standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. Also this fixed the issue with the mouse sometimes not working in windows.
Here is how I tested.
Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse, PS/2 & USB= failed.
Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse, USB= failed.
Microsoft Cordless Ball Mouse, PS/2= failed.
Standard Artec (Cheapy brand) Ball Mouse (With no wheel), PS/2= All issues fixed, and passed.
When I said failed I do not mean they didn't work, I mean they sometimes didn't work and also caused the Video off problem after restarting the computer.
Obviously it isn't the ports (PS/2 or USB) that are the problem, it is more like the mouse itself, and the amount of buttons in particular. As you can see above the only mouse that works correctly is the one that only has 2 buttons, the rest has 3 or more buttons along with a Wheel. The MX700 has 8 buttons + wheel, WOW!
Anyways I figure out it was the mouse, and not the memory.
Obviously MSI needs to make a patch for this mouse problem.
I'm still having a hard time believing that the mouse caused the video not to work, but it is true! I spend well over 5 hours testing this crap. Every time with the mice with more then 3 buttons it messed up, and every time with the 2 button old fashion mouse it worked flawlessly!
MSI, get to work on a new BIOS to fix this mess!!! :]

you can get some trouble if you do it the way i did it.
i was in windows surfing and the pointer just jumped all over the screen.
when i looked on the other side under a table a friends little kid played with the usn mouse. )

LOL, that isn't what I'm talking about.
There seems to be a problem with my motherboard accepting mice with more then 2 buttons. It works the first time, but if you restart the computer, the video goes off. If you have both installed, it still messed up.

K7N2 Delta Nforce2 Audio problem

I'm sure this is a dumb question for the vast majority. I can't seem to get more than two channels to work on my motherboard. I've tried all the drivers and etc.. Don't know what is wrong with it.?.?
If anyone else has had this problem, or rather, knows how to fix it. PLEASE help, a small thing yes...but still...
Oh by the way, I don't have a s-bracket either. Just back panel only. Xp system. Two sets of speakers, right? I should just have to plug into line in and line out if I'm not mistaken. Anyways...

hi
try sound drivers from realtek
this only applies to the L board.

K7N2 Delta Raid(IDE3) problem

I got myself a third harddrive which required me to use IDE3. I got everything installed and the harddrive is detected.
But for the first time tonight, my computer froze completely. I thought it was just a minor hiccup so I booted up my computer again to see it happen again.. and again.. and again. I'm on my computer now and it hasn't frozen yet but I think it might happen again. I checked the Event Viewer and the system shows errors around the freezing times (all 3) and it says:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
atapi
PCIIde
So I'm 90% sure the freezes are caused by the Promise driver. I might be reading it wrong, not sure. But if it is caused by the Promise driver, how would I go about fixing this?
Maybe it's caused by me installing the Raid first before the drivers on the computer?
Any help will be great. Thanks.
[edit]
It seems like turning off things that uses my new harddrive stops the freezing at boot up.

hoon,
Have you tried diconnecting the HD and then seeing if it boots normally?
Take Care,
Richard

K7N2 delta power switch problem

I'm a first time poster, and a first time PC builder. I recently bought all the components listed in my signature from newegg. I was careful installing everything, but when I attempted to power it up, there was no response, nothing at all. No fans, no diag LEDs, nothing. The only response at all came after I shut off the switch on the back of the power supply. About 5 seconds after removing power, there is always a quick high-pitched descending chirp that lasts about half a second.
I verified that the outlet and cable were good. PS is set on 115V, and the rear switch was on. Pressing the front button simply didn't do anything. I confirmed the power supply is good - to test I disconnected the power supply from the mobo, but left the hard drive and fans connected and shorted the green lead on the power connector to ground. Everything spun up.
I reconnected the power supply to the mobo, which was isolated outside of the case, and removed all components but the processor, heatsink/fan, and RAM. I adjusted the thermal sensor under the processor to ensure contact, and added a little extra thermal grease. Again, no response when the power button was triggered, either with the button itself, or by shorting the power switch leads on JFP1 with a screw driver. The PSU wasn't putting out anything.
Finally, I tried the same setup again, this time shorting the green lead on the mobo power connector (JWR1) to ground with a paper clip from above while the power connector was attached to the motherboard. All fans spun up, and I got diagnostic LEDs - Red, Red, Green, Green.
Is this indicative of a faulty power switch connector on JFP1?
Any help would be appreciated...

Hi Richard,
I have connected the power switch to the motherboard, to pins 6 and 8 on the JFP1 connector. There is no response when the button is pressed. If I remove the power switch leads and short the pins with a screwdriver, there's no response. When I short the green lead on the motherboard power connector (JWR1) to ground, however, the system boots normally, with no other changes to the hardware.
Seems to me that the JFP1 connector isn't functioning. I'm just curious whether this is a reasonable conclusion, or if there could be something else blocking the power signal.
Thanks
