K7N2 DELTA-ILSR AND DDR-RAM

I got K7N2 Delta-ILSR, the last bios version, and
2x256 twinmos pc3200 ram. The 50% of the times the computer startes without problems, but the other 50% it gets hang up when I start the computer and the "d-Leds" indicate:" the memory module is damaged or not installed properly".
I know that the ram-modules works, but not with this Motherboard.
I need to get new ram-modules.
Somebody have the K7N2 DELTA-ILSR, with ddr-ram that works ??? (not K7N2G- IL and ILSR)
[size=15]You can list this here, it will help a lot of people! [/SIZE]

If you'll look at the start of the forum you'll see an article "good memory choices" start there.If you don't want to spend the bucks buying new mem read this http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/index.php?threadid=20221&boardid=14

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 !

Nope, because I am changing multiplyers without probs. The only multiplyer that doesn't work is 13x.

...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.

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.

Newest video driver from ATI may help with the stability on your gaming.
Already have newest drivers.
Anyway, thanks for the tips !

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR and Mushkin

Does anyone know if the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR has any issues with Mushkin ram. Specifically, with Mushkin PC3200 2-2-2? I previously had Mushkin PC2100 2-2-2 in it with no issues, but that was on a 266 FSB. On a 400 FSB, there may be issues. I dont know.

I did a little troubleshooting on my own and learned some things. I borrowed my neighbors computer (athlon xp 2600+ (266) on an asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with 2 512 meg sticks of Mushkin PC2100 2-2-2 ram). This computer has a generic 300 watt power supply, so you have to take this into account after seeing the results. First I ran prime95 on his machine and it ran rock solid. I substituted my PC3200 memory in his machine, and first ran it at 266 with no errors. Then I bumped the memory up to 333 and I got an error after 1 hour 17 minutes. Then I bumped the memory up to 400 and couldnt get past 10 minutes without an error.
I then put my proc and his memory in his computer, and my proc ran stable, and I didnt get any of the rebooting that I was getting in my machine. When I put my memory in his machine with my proc, I get about the same results as with his proc.
When I put my proc in my machine with his PC2100 memory, I still got some rebooting. When I substituted my PC3200 memory in, I still got the rebooting.
I then underclocked my processor down from 200 mhz bus to 191, and kept the ratio at 1:1 for memory, and still got some rebooting.
I then changed the ratio to 6:5, so the bus is now 159. The timings are at 5-2-2-2. The computer is running very stable and goes through prime95 with no errors.
I can put my proc and ram in my neighbors computer and get no rebooting, whereas in mine it wont stop rebooting when I have it set to spec. It looks like I have to change my mobo and/or my PSU. My PSU is an Enermax 431 watt and I have never heard of an Enermax going bad. That makes me suspect the mobo a little more, but I dont really know.
I will continue to experiment with bus speeds, ratios, and timings to see if I can get any more out of this system. But at least it is running OK now.

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and Serial ATA Drive

I've got a very strange problem....
Yesterday i have installed my new motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) but i have a problem with the SATA feature.
I've got two drives : one 40GB ATA (Western Digital) and one 160GB SATA also from Western Digital.
My SATA drive is recognized by the FastTrak BIOS (v2) but i'm unable to reinstall Windows XP Professional (with SP2 Slipstreamed) because Windows Setup didn't recognize the SATA disk. I have loaded the Promise Serial ATA Drivers at the begin of the installation (F6)...
I have also tried 2 different versions of the Promise SATA Drivers; the one that cames with my motherboard CD, and the most recent from the MSI website. But with both drivers the same result. How can i get my Serial ATA Harddisk get work with this motherboard?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Computerfreakje.
PS : My specifications are the following:
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR (Rev. 7.4)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
2x 256MB Kingston PC3200 Dual Channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (R360)
Western Digital 40GB ATA
Western Digital 160GB SATA

Thanks for your reply Richard,
My motherboard didn't came with a floppy (I have bought an bulk version..) I have created a SATA floppy by myself. (I have got the drivers from the motherboard cd..) These drivers are also good, right?
Which type of RAID Array should i create? Because i have only one SATA drive.....
I think the "auto" feature is the easiest way?
Thanks.

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and Dual Channel

I just got an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ processor and 2 matched sticks of Mushkin 2-2-2-6 512meg pc3200 ddr. The computer works fine when the memory is in normal mode. But when you want dual channel, everything goes haywire. The computer reboots over and over. I have tried changing the voltage, and changing the memory timings, but nothing seems to work. Does this mobo hate Mushkin memory? I have heard of other people running dual channel memory on this board with no problems, but I have a bucketful. This board only has voltage settings for memory in the bios of 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7. This memory chooses 1.7 when I put it in auto mode. Could it be the modules are not getting enough juice? Any ideas?

Last night I was trying to find some kind of a solution to the America's Army critical error problem(yeah, got that too). I went to disable fast writes within the Smart Gart utility, and when I went for a reboot, my computer went into a reboot loop very similar to the one I got when I first tried to run these 2 sticks of memory in dual channel. It took a while to get the computer to stop it. At this point, I starting believing my problem was not a hardware problem. When I finally got the computer to boot into xp and stay fairly stable, I first ran checkdisk and had it repair any damage. I updated my video drivers from 4.7 cats to 4.8. I updated my bios, as a new revision just came out not too long ago. I reinstalled directx 9.0b. I reinstalled my chipset drivers as a precautionary measure. I then checked both memory controllers using one stick at a time, and both memory controllers checked out. Yes, I am using 2 sticks of 512 meg memory each. I then put one stick in slot one and the other in slot 3 to try for dual channel again. The computer booted up normally, did not reboot, and ran stable. I then ran 3DMARK 2003 and 2001SE, and posted new high scores in both. I am not sure exactly which action I performed was the one that fixed the problem, but the shotgun blast worked. I appreciate all the help everyone gave me.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta-ILSR ...did i kill my motherboard??????

ok i have K7N2 Delta-ILSR and i moving my computer from my bedroom to my basment because of construction and when i went to plug my computer into my apc powerbar the plug didnt go all the way in the socket and then a flash of electricty, when seeing this i wasn't sure what to think so i went ahead and pluged it into the powerbar socket next to it, then when i hit power button on my computer it gets power but wont post and the D-Bracket that came with my board that has diagnostic LEDs is saying " Memory Detection Test " i tried changing my stick of ram(Samsung PC3200 512mb DDR400) from all the slots and the same results then i tried a stick of corsair ram and the same results. I also tried clearing cmos, and having my settings on safe mode.
Specs - Thermaltake Xaser III 480w, eVGA 6800 128mb, athlon xp 2800+ 333mhz, samsung pc3200 400mhz cas 3

Do you have a different power supply you can test?
You did unplug the power supply before clearing the CMOS right?
Have you checked the stickies? Especially this one? https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=64248.0

Need help with jumper settings for k7n2 delta ilsr

I have a k7n2 delta ilsr and I'm using a AMD 2800+ barton 333 fsb. I'm not sure what the jumper settins are for this cpu. The users guide only shows 133/166 and 200, can anyone help me with the jumper settings.
Thanks, Ron.

Hi,
As your processor is 333FSB - the jumper should be set to 166FSB as should the BIOS. As your RAM CPU combination runs at 2x166=333 or thereabouts.
Basically, as a general rule, if you halve the FSB speed of your processor you'll get the setting for both BIOS and Jumper. 200FSB=100, 266FSB=133, 333FSB=166 etc. etc.

NEED HELP - K7N2 Delta ILSR

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

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

Kingston HyperX Memory for K7N2 Delta-ILSR

Hey will my K7N2 Delta-ILSR support the Kingston HyperX serises DDR400-512MB Ram?
Im looking to buy 2 maybe 3 of these and really want to be sure theyll work.
http://www.ec.kingston.com/shop/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KHX3200A/256&promo=hx2shp
I checked the supported ram list for the K7N2 Delta-ILSR and they wernt on there so i just figured it may be out of date?
So thanx in Advance for info!
p.s. It will support 3x 512MB right?

Has anyone noticed how the Hyper X went from the poor-man's Corsair to being priced equal to OCZ, and usually higher then Geil, as well as usually being very close to Corsair, if not the same? I think only Mushkin beats it out now price-wise...

Temperature reading for K7N2 Delta ILSR

I have a 2500+ Barton (333 FSB) to work with K7N2 Delta ILSR and 2x256 MB Samsung DDRAM(400 FSB).I use MBM to read my CPU temperatures.Usually 45-47 C idle and 54-58 C under full load.I overclock CPU to 400 FSB and I get LOWER TEMPERATURES!!!!!
I use 1:1 bios setting for CPU and DRAM speeds either 333 or 400 FSB.
How can this by possible?

I use Speedfan which seems to follow the temp in the bios. I've heard that MBM is also accurate. As far as your temps going down on a OC that is very odd indeed.

Sometimes the generic RAMS run, sometimes not. It seems to be hit or miss. If you want a recommendation of good quality RAM I would suggest MUSHKIN first and CORSAIR second. Good Luck

PNY and MSI K7N2 Delta - ILSR

Looking into buying the K7N2 Delta-ILSR...I have heard that it is a awesome overclocker, and a very fast board. Has anyone had experience with using...
PNY Optima PC2700 DDR memory on it? It is double sided memory, with Hynix chips. Hynix chips are listed on MSI's Memory Compatibility PDF...but i wanted to know if anyone has used it before? Thanks

Its not tehre, but it does use Hynix chips, which IS supported. I also have read in this forum that people have got my exact memory to work flawlessly on the board i want. Thanks anyway!
