K7N2 Delta L Won't Post

Specs:
MB - K7N2 Delta L FSB 400
CPU - AMD Athalon XP 2800+
Video - GeForce 2 MX400 (PCI)
Hard Drive - (When attached) Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache
RAM - Kingston 256 MB DDR400 CL2.5 (KVR400X644C25/256
PSU - AXIO 480W
3.3V - 28A
+5V - 37A
12V - 21A
-5V - 0.3A
-12V - 0.8A
+5VSB - 2.0A
D-Brackett Lights are 1-Red 2-Red 3-Green 4-Green (Processor Damaged or Not Installed Properly).
I installed the Processor onto a MSI KT4AV (Everything Else same specs) and it booted and ran the OS and several apps without a problem. I re-seated it on the K7N2 Board several times without getting past this error on the D-Bracket.
I have read several of the postings and have checked, and re-checked for possible shorts on the MB. I even removed the brass Mounting screws and replaced them with plastic.
I have also checked (and tried changing) the J10 and J11 Jumpers.
All Peripherals have been removed except for the RAM, Video and D-Brackett. And I still am not even POSTing. I have tried booting without a Video card installed as well (still same error message on the D-Bracket).
My Question:
Can you tell me anything else to try before I RMA this MB?
Thanks,
IBskweak

Bonz,
Thanks for the quick response.
I went and tracked down the following RAM this morning to try:
Mushkin 2x256MB PC3200 Level II Black Line
Corsair 1x512MB PC3200 CL2.5 -L FSB @444MHz 8-2-2-2.5 @ 2.7MHz
Crucial 2x256MB PC3200 HiPerf -ILSR w/IGP 1:1 DC 5-2-2-2
Even after trying each set I got the same results as before.
Still won't even POST. Same results as original message
Unless someone else has a good idea, I'm going to RMA the two MBs that I purchased.

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts. Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
Now what?

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't boot from FDD or HD

I have a serious problem with my new K7N2 delta ILSR based computer.
My machine is
K7N2 delta ILSR 400W
3.3/25 5/32 12/15 V/A PSU
512+256 MB A-data 3200 ram
Athlon XP2500+
BTC 48x24x48 Combo
100 mb Zip int. -disabled
120 GB Seagate barracuda SATA-disabled
120 GB Seagate Barracuda parallel
Triplex parasouls ATI 9600PRO 128MB
The machine POST's normally with all 4 lights doing what they should.
The Promise BIOS can detect the SATA drive correctly but when an attempt is made to write the array an error- 'error modifying array- system is going to reboot- press any key to reboot>" is given.
The M/B BIOS detects the FDD and Seagate Parallel drives correctly but when a correctly formatted XP boot disc (or Mandrake Linux or Caldera DR-DOS) is placed in the floppy drive a "no system disk" error is given.
When you F6 to install RAID drivers in the Windows XP install and the screen comes up where you are prompted to insert the floppy there is no mass storage device detected.
I purchased a new FDD and it gives precisely the same error as the original.
I installed the parallel Seagate in another system and installed and activated windows XP on it. After re-installing it in the K7N2 system I was disappointed to discover that it will not boot off the hard drive. When you boot from the XP CD the machine locks up. (Disconnecting the HD it will boot normally)
This is a real puzzle as it is possible to format the hard drive using Max Blast3- the maxtor disk utility which is based ( as is the Seagate Seatools utility) on Caldera DR-DOS). And I can't see why it should boot from a CD-ROM and not from any other correctly formatted boot disk.
I suspect a problem in either the (South?) bridge that controls the peripherals or the BIOS. I am at a loss how to re-flash the BIOS with out the use of the floppy drive- unless this can be done from a CD-ROM.
The PSU is not being strained and nForce list both RAM sticks as OK.

The Fd light behaves normally. i.e. lights up when the drive is being accessed.
has anybody else noted that the FDD is B by default- That the cables have a few wires twisted like the wires between the first and second plugs on the old cables?
The IDE 80 wire(counted!) is long end in the board- my plugs are all 3 black. You can't put them in the wrong way becaue of the centre key.
All the stands are plastic except for two brass ones that are in the centre of the board that go to circular mount pads. That is how the case came and I thought it was a design feature.
The thing I find most puzzleing is that i can boot a caldera based system that finds everything including the floppy- and read it- (provided you call it drive B!) yet naything DOS based won't go- I have this feeling that it has a screwed up DOS call that is not looking in the right disk sector for NTldr or whatever to boot. I think this is a bios problem- but I am not sure how to find out when you can't boot from the FDD.
My brother has talked to some tech friends and there word is that this is a weird one- probably a dud board RTS.

K7n2 Delta-6570 Will Not Post

I have k7n2 delta L --6570--amdxp-2500-512 mb pc3200 ram. powmax 400w power .ati 9600 all in wonder. I swapped all parts to a better case to fit a certain location and the system will not post at all. the diagnostic d-bracket has number 1 and 4 in red while 2 and 3 are green. the book only tells me that the processor is initializing with a note saying this will show information regarding the processor (like brand name, system bus. etc. but nothing will show on the monitor. everything was working fine before the swap. i have checked everything i can think of. i would appreciate some advise. sorry if i haven't posted all the proper requrements and spec's. thanks. paul k.

i reset the memory and cpu and video card. i think i disconnected everything in the case a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a simple blunder. nothing! i have a friend that wants to try look at it i may do that. also tomorrow i will try to post all my info like the rest of you guys have done. i'll give it a try anyway. also i done the other things you mentioned, i forgot what the questions were. you can't see the post info that i am replying to keep checking so i can answer properly and i forget things.
thanks

K7n2 delta, won't allow me to connect to the internet via pci modem

motherboard: K7n2 delta, nforce2 ultra
won't allow me to connect to the internet via pci modem
i have got 2 computers with same mobo, can connnect through external 56k
but the 2 internal 56ks (one in each computer), will not connect.
just dials then beeps, or no dialing tone.
the 2 internal ones are differnet makes, but connect through PCI
there must be something wrong with Mobo settings or pci stuff
all internet and modem settings are correct, etc etc etc
can u help
or does anyone have a pci 56k running on that mobo?

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

K7N2 Delta Won't Boot

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and I hope you guys can help me out. I'm having power issues with my box. It won't boot!!!! This is was it does powers up then shuts right down. It doesn't boot long enough for me to check anything. It continues to do this if I don't unplug it. Please guys I dying here.
Here's my configuration:
Samsung CDRW
Pioneer DVDRW
Seagate 20g OS Drive
Seagate 80g Data Drive
Sound: Creative Audigy2 w/ remote
512MB Samsung memory
I bought a brand new power supply thinking that would solve my problem. But to no avail that didn't work. So, I disconnected the power and reset cables from the motherboard and jumped the board and it still does the same thing. And it's driving me nutts. I checked the processor and its cool. Could it be a memory problem? I remember getting memory errors like for a week before. Sorry for the long post for a newbie to the forum.

Hello My MSI Brothers & Sisters
I’m totally confused now (not hard to do) here’s why I just bought 2 K7N2 Delta-L AMD XP 2500 Barton & 1 XP 2600 Barton the XP 2500 box has 1 stick of Infineon PC 2700 @ 256 and the XP 2600 box has 2 sticks of Infineon PC 2700 @ 512 ea (HYB25D256807BT-6) haven’t put them together yet was going to start this week but after reading about all the trouble every one is having with the pc 2700 512 sticks I’m not sure if its going to work or will it is it only the Infineon/Micron my XP 2600 box has to have 1 gig in it its for heavy office work and AutoCad do i need to change memory to 1gig of pc3200

Corrected FSB, now K7N2 won't POST - Need help!!

AMD XP 2600+ TBred B Core
1024 (2x512) MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (Corsair XMS Series)
1 is C2 latency, 1 is normal PC3200. I had them both in channel A, right now I'm just running my brand new normal 3200 stick.
MSI GeForce6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD128SP)
MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum (MS-6570E)
Enermax 365P-VE PSU (350W, 3.3V & 5V rails have 32A each, 12V rail has 26A)
The system ran fine at the default settings, I installed Windows XP with no problems. No hardware difficulties, no overheating of any component, no lack of voltage. Everything was peachy keen, except that my XP 2600+ was being misdetected as an 2000+ because the FSB was being set at 133. So, I went into the BIOS and used the settings I know are correct for my processor, meaning the FSB was bumped to 166. Saved the settings to the CMOS and exited. Now, when my PC starts up, I am greeted with a black screen. No POST beep, no video, no nothing. CD-ROM spins up, hard drive spins up, all fans spin up, all lights light up, but...Nothing! First move -- Reset CMOS w/ jumper. Nothing! Next move -- Hard CMOS reset (1hr). Nothing. Next-move -- Barebones boot. More nothing. I even tried swapping out the video card just to be on the safe side. (it did nothing, of course) If I didn't know better, I'd swear it was a DOA board, except it was working fine for around 18 hours, and I heard the POST beep every time it started up, and the DRAM error 'continuous long beeps' when I first set it up & had the 3200C2 stick in the Channel B slot (which I can still hear if I try booting with the RAM removed). I found the "Insert" key trick, but it looks like my keyboard isn't even getting power. I've been completely unsuccesful in trying to undo my move to the 166FSB, and it seems this total failure to POST w/ this motherboard isn't a unique problem. Any help at all is GREATLY appreciated, as well as any explanation as to what in the HELL happened. This has left me utterly flummoxed. To reiterate -- my computer is in barebone state right now. (Motherboard, gfx card, processor, RAM, all power and case connected to mobo and gfx card, nothing else) Thanks. -David

... I have just experienced the very same problem as HorizonX! I'm using a AMD Athalon 2600+ processor in an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 - LSR mainboard with 2x512MB PC3200 DDR RAM chips and I decided (don't ask me why) to switch my front side bus frequency from 166Mhz to 200Mhz. Immediately after making the change my system, which had been working fine for about a month prior to this, failed to post - no beeps only the whirr and click of the hard drives starting up.
I attempted to clear the CMOS by moving the clear CMOS jumper to the "clear" position for a minute or two with no results. I then removed the battery and again set the clear CMOS jumper to "clear", this time for about five minutes, but once I returned the battery and the jumper to its original position the system still failed to post. I figured I must have fried my CPU and was ready to start shopping for a new one. Luckily I came across this discussion forum. After reading the previous comments about how long mainboard capacitors can hold charge I decided to try clearing the CMOS again using some of the forum suggestions. I unplugged my system, removed the battery, and moved the CMOS jumper to the clear position. I then toggled the power supply on and off a few times along with the front power button and then left the system to sit for a half an hour. After the half hour I toggled the power switches a couple of more times before I reconnected the power, reinstalled the battery, and restored the CMOS jumper to its original position. This time IT WORKED!! My CMOS was cleared and my system posted with default settings. Incidentally I did look for the FSB safe mode jumper on my mainboard but it doesn't appear to have one.
Unfortunately this my not be much help to HorizonX but I just wanted to let the other contributors know their advice helped solve my problem.

[nForce] K7N2 delta ilsr doesnt post

I am using this mother board with ati radeon 9000 for 2 years. Today i bought a new msi rx9550 video card

fans spins hdd and power light are ok
i tried it with a good psu today no way it doenst post
i also updated the mobos bios with modded bios version which i found in this forum
i tried with asus and sapphire 9550 cards and no boot again
but it boots with radeon 9000
i also tried a cooler master psu with 18A 12v rail but nope
it does not post with any radeon 9550 cards
i removed all psu connections to hdd dvd ect and only let mobos connection
no boot again
in the bios agp voltages seems to be shift between 1.5 1.6 and 1.7
no 0.8 for agp 8x
might it be a problem?
I am realy disappointed with this mobo
i bought it 2 years ago because i tought this mobo can be used for long years
heh
I am desperetaly seeking your suggestions

K7N2 Delta won't shut down...

Ok, I installed a new K7N2 Delta-L and run windows XP. Everything works great. Kudo's to MSI for their excellent instruction manual.
Windows shuts down, but then the thing reboots. I have a 350 watt Codegen psu. I've checked to make sure I don't have the reset or power sw switched around, and I don't. I switched and even reversed them just to make sure.
Is there something in bios to stop this?
Also, in case a moderator reads this post...I used Live Update to make sure I have the latest BIOS, and now do. I'm getting a difference in cpu temp readings...PC Health in the bios reads usually 10c higher than what PC ALert through windows does.
Which is correct? PC ALert 4 usually says cpu is in the low 30's, PC Health reads in the low to mid 40's...

hi
there is an issue about the system and cpu temp readings.
some bios shows to high some to low.
low to mid 40 is nothing to worry about.
pc alert does show wrong quite often.
get speedfan instead.
bye

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.

K7N2 Delta Post Bios Boot faliure

I just bought the motherboard set it all up and powered it on and all the fans spin up but make a rapid speeding up and slowing down noise. i took the motherboard back to the shop and they replaced it and tested my new one in shop and it worked fine. i took it home put the processor ram and gfx card in and the same problem happened again. on the d-bracket it says its a Processor problem ive tried another processor in it and got the same problem. also the Led's on the d-bracket flash on and off instead of being constantly on.
i am using 512mb Corsair 3200 400mhz Platinum Ram, AMD Athlon XP 2400+ also tried 1700+ to no avail and a Radeon 9700pro. i dont understand what could be wrong as it worked fine in the shop with their ram and 1700+ cpu ;( i could just cry. i have also tried swapping out the power supply with another one :O any help into this problem would be greatly appriciated.

Thepower supply im using is a Q Tec 550watt Gold it is a really good power supply the only thing i could check is swap the memory around the slots and take the motherboard out the chassis and see if it works then...could be a short inside the case :'(. i have cleared the cmos memory and set it to safe 100mhz fsb.i was under the imprestion that the MSI K7N2 Delta was a good mobo i must of been mistaken :'(. what make of ram do you guys use and where could i get some :D BTW i live in th UK (England). im not overclocking anything either :]

K7N2 Delta /no post, blank screen/

Hello everyone!
I'm experiencing the same problems as the ones described in:
http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17501
The D-Bracket shows: green, green, red,red (DEcompressing BIOS image...)
I have nearly the same mobo, MSI K7N2 delta 2 lsr, but there is no J10 jumper on this one. I heard that starting the computer with the Insert button pressed should do the same (safe mode), but it didn't work for me.
I tried to clear CMOS (with the jumper and with the battery as well)
I tried other video cards, memories,... I swapped all parts of the computer.
I really don't know what to do.
Could you help me?

I thought I had to press Insert continuously while turning on the computer
normally thats what you do! let us know how you get on, you could still run into problems yet!
good luck!

[MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR] Trouble

Hello,
I have some serious trouble with my pc, my system specs are:
-Unlocked Amd 2400+ (AXDA2400DKV3C from August 21, 2002)
-Msi K7N2 delta-ilsr
-Palit GeForce FX5900XT
-Std. 512mb pc2700
-Std. 512mb pc3200
-More stuff
The problem is that I can't change the multiplier. If I change the multiplier from 15x (standart) to for example 13x, the system won't boot. Than I have to put a jumper at the 100mhz fsb setting, then I must change the multiplier back to by h/w & save the settings. So I am only able to change the fsb, but not the multiplier
Anywone who know's a solution for this problem?
Thanks,
Sape

Because the processor is from 2002, and then it's unlocked

K7n2 delta & old HD

HI Guys-
k7n2 delta mobo
western digital protege 40gb unjumped with windows xp home already on it ( out of a working system )
tried 2 mushkin 2100 ddr 512 in slot 1 &2
tried infineon 2100 ddr 256 133mhz in slot 1 then slot three
tried samsung 2100 ddr 256 in slot 1
250 watt psu
amd 1600xp
appian rushmore quad video card
during POST it recognizes the hd,
it says the dram clock is set for 266
then evry time i get a blue screen saying 'problem detected,windows shutdown to protect your computer,check for viruses, removeany newly installed hard drives or controllers, run chkdsk to see if your drive is bad.'
TEchnical info *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7C46640,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
None or the memory i have tried has worked and i want to use this existing hard drive because it has all the appian drivers and programs on it, not to mention the os, which i don't have a disk of because it was already installed.
Any ideas on what's hanging up the HD?
Thanks
Tyler
ps the only reason for this computer is because appian said their quad cards work best with msi & asus. hopefully the small psu won't be a factor b/c all this machine is going to do is run the appian quad card. no other peripherals

Tyler,
Like you've been told, a 250W PSU is not going to to the trick You need a "Good" strong PSU for these boards. Enermax or Antec 400W+ would be a good choice, don't be fooled into buying a noname high wattage PSU with poor outputs. Also moving your HD out of another system with the OS already on it is not a good idea. Your OS is confused because it's seeing different components. :( Do a clean install. )

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 !
