K7n2 delta lsr + 3000XP prob

i just bought:
msi kt7n2 delta lsr
512 pc2900
3000XP
450w power supply
winXP
i cannot run the processr at 166mhz otherwise windows either brings up the error send report where it closses the application OR windows just restarts without warning.
my brother just bought the same set up aswell (he had his for crimbo) and hes got the same prob, except when he turns the speed to 166mhz, when windows goes to start he gets a BSOD, so i figure no biggy, just repair windows, as i go to do this before the installation or any questons are asked, he gets yet another BSOD and this happens everytime.
ive been ****ing round with bios options for a while but i aint very good at that ****.
and im running a ti4800 nVidia
i dont know wether to upgrade the bios because
A: i have never upgraded a bios before
and
B: if i were to take the board back hed probaly blame it on me for pratting around with it
so, what you guys reckon, i noticed in one of the topics that 400mhz ram would be needed for a 3000XP upgrade ?

The problems your having can be caused by power supply, memory compatiblitly and a few outer things.
List your power supply amps for 3.3 volt, 5 volt and 12 volt.
The ram is PC2700 it is 333 FSB ram your processor is a 400 FSB processor.
So you have created one problem there. Try running ram as single channel to see if it helps with stablity. Set ram speed to 333 FSB.
Or better yet buy some ram that is on the list of compatible ram 2-256 of PC3200 DDR is plenty of ram for games and programs and will keep price down.
Memory that is matched for Dual Channel will also help.
The newest Bios for the K7N2 Delta ILSR is 7.6 it may help with some ram problems but will not fix the FSB difference.

[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

K7N2 Delta, Fasttrack Bios probs

Well I just put together my new PC
K7N2 Delta_ILSR
XP2800 Barton
512ddr PC2700 CorsairXMS ram
GF4TI4600 (Overclocked a little)
52x cd
plextor cdrw
60gb 7200rpm hdd
Windows XP pro
Well it all went swimmingly adn works fine. Just got to get used to XP. My problem is when it boots up it loads the Award Bios fine then after registering all the drives etc I get the following reading
Fasttrack 376(tm) BIOS VERSION 1.00.0.21(c) 2002-2005 Promise Technology
No drive attached to fasttrack controller, The BIOS is not installed.
Now i think this is somthing to do with the Sata setup. I have installed the drivers and all is ok, is this displayed purely as i dont have a SATA hdd yet? if so is there any way of making it so it doesnt appear??
Other than that I like my new system its really fast :D
Thanks for any replies in advance

Yes, its because you dont have any drives attached, this still shows even if you have installed the drivers off the floppy.
You could try what I have just done and put your main HD on IDE3, then you still have 4 IDE connections to use as you please.

It will be at 100 fsb now
so 10x 100 =1000 mhz
if you have the right ram then 10x 200 should be easy
just up the fsb

K7n2 Delta Set Up Probs ..........

CAN'T GET ANY SENSE OUT OF THE STUPID THING ! HAS ANYBODY HAD THE SAME AND IF SO CAN YOU STEER ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ? PRETTY PLEAS ?

Hello.
YES
If you want to install XP on the SATA drive (make it the boot drive )you must press F6 and use the floppy disk that came with the board.
This will install the sata drivers, (sata drivers are called sata raid controllers)

[nForce] K7N2 Delta 2 LSR boot/power up issues

I installed the K7N2 Delta LSR mb with an Athlon XP socket A 3000+ cpu. The computer turns on but won't boot. Nothing appears on the monitor screen and there are no beeps. The harddrive spins, the board has power but nothing happens. When I put my old mother board back (MSI K7T Pro266A) in with the Athlon 2000+, everything works fine.
Maxtor 60 gb harddrive
512 MB SD pc2100 SD Ram
Abit 128 mb Radeon 9200SE Video card
Any suggestions?

A few things to check:
Do you have any unused stand offs in the case touching the motherboard
The XP3000 CPU is a barton core and comes in two variants, a 333FSB and a 400FSB version. Your RAM is PC2100 which with an Nforce chipset is a recipie for problems. The NForce chipset is picky about RAM and PC2100 running on a PC2700/PC3200 processor FSB probably won't work.
Also post your PSU max amps, as a +12V rail below 16A could cause problems.
Do you have a D-Bracket connected ? This is the PCI insert with 4 leds on ?

K7N2 Delta2-LSR Single SATA hard drive set up

OK, I've set up system described in signature, and followed advice posted in this forum.
Enabled RAID, set up single drive raid array, did the F6 thing and installed windows without any problem.
I intended to disable raid in BIOS but when I do the system does not find a hard drive to boot from.
The only two hard drive boot priority options are array (when enabled) and add-on cards (none)
At some stage during the set up I did see my sata h/d in BIOS as well as the raid array. It may have been on IDE Channel3 Master but not there now.
I'm now thinking of deleting my array using RAID BIOS-F10 but I am concerned not having much experience of raid.
In particular, will BIOS see my hard drive as it only sees an array now.
Is my only option?
I'd hate to re-install windows and my applications again. If it come to that, I could live with current situation.
Thanks Dave

just noticed, your sig lists "K7N2 Delta2-LSR" while your topic title lists "K7N2 Delta-LSR". there is a fundametal difference, hence the confusion
the old Delta's had the Promise controller for SATA / RAID, as nvidia chipset at time had no native support. now newer nvidia nforce chipsets do. what i described above is correct for Delta, but what you have discovered is correct for Delta2: for single drive, disable IDE RAID, and SATA drive is listed as an IDE device

MSI K72N Delta LSR - windows XP keeps stop codes and serious errors Puzzled why

hi,
System specs
AMD sempron 2400
512mb DDR PC3200 ( 2 x 256nb Matrix module brand memory written on chips )
MSI K7N2 Delta LSR ( lastest Bios )
Onboard sound - Enabled
Onboard lan - Disabled
Liteon DVD Rom
CD-RW 52x
ATI Radeon 9550 ( installed at moment )
before was a Nvidia FX5700 LE took back faulty as tried radeon 9800 pro and was ok for a couple hours
got Nvidia FX 5500 - faulty fan making noise on boot.
Ive built a System up and its been running fine for a few months and then 1 day system crashed and got windows recovered from serious error and and wound't shut down but only restart.
Replaced memory that was in and checked with mem99 and said it was faults so replaced memory and shutdown problem vanished.
Few days later windows xp started saying recovered from serious error again with stop codes
0x0000050
Bccode 10000050
Bccode 1000008e
Bccode 1000000a
Stop Code D1
They was the stop codes been getting since, some said Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, IRQL_not_less or Equal
Im puzzled what the problem can be know, even tried reformatting and reinstalling windows twice and not solved it, tried a another cdrom drive and still same.
Im puzzled what the problem can be.

Temps are fine running about 45'c in windows and max about 52'c when in full load ive got motherboard monitor on all time monitering temps and also recording and save out log file when turned off for temps.
Its a retail boxed AMD Sempron which i dont think much to the stock heatsink and fan ( Athlon 64bit ones are loads better copper base and heat compound instead of sticky pad )
The new memory is only think is got whats wrote on the memory modules is called Matrix, I know from past experience's when u reinstall windows and files cant copy across ok and keeps saying cant read file etc or cant copy file during installation thats indication bad memory strip, ive even got a memory thats fault ( i only use for testing and diagnostic ) as 1 of the memory modules comes up fault in memtest96 and even tried that and still same, thats how i found out in first place memory was causing system not to shutdown properly.
What i can try is my memory as ive got 1.5gig in Elixir branded and i know thats ok 100% with nforce 2 boards as i had a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and ran elixir memory with np, before i got a Gigabyte KT880 board.
Antivirus ive got running on system at the moment is AVG and always used it all time, it dont use any cpu usage and also saved my system loads from virus as it caught them as they tried to run and stop them, something norton's dont seem to do very well.
I give modem a try on a USB hub but its strange when u unplug USB its ok and NTL recommends when modem stops working to unplug power from back modem and leave it a while and it comes back on, done this in past successfully but this time its blue screening, Which could be part of windows main files are corrupted. The USB Modem is running of its own PSU so shound't be using USB power at all, if it was that explain blue screen when taking power off as it do it when taking usb out.
Error codes ive watched a Microsoft web broadcast ( over a hour long ) about error codes and 40% of them are software + hardware related combined they make it sound so easy to diagnose them but in reality unless u know windows 100% its hard to.
Harddrive seems to copy files ok across and back, i have to try another Harddrive and see but from past experiences when Harddrives are about to fail windows seems to stall, lockup and also just stop responding when accessing certain programs or files.
Its a confusing 1 as u solve 1 piece of puzzle another comes up and throws u off track again.
Looking that all parts ive replaced so far have solved 1 or another problem to only reveal another hidden, PC's who have them lol
If i solve it i post my finding np it keep me busy for a couple days testing things, u learn something new every day with pc's new faults and problems and how to solve them, try too lol
And most of time its compatibility problems but odd times hardware or software.

Bios for K7n2 delta 2 LSR (2800+ Mobile Barton Recognizing)

Hi, i need the BIOS for the Bios for MSI K7n2 delta 2 LSR Motherboard, because i have a Mobile Barton 2800+ CPU with FSB 266 and it isn't recognized correct, i would like to set the Multiplier to 16, the highest setting is 13 - but at 13 my system didnt boot anymore. I tried the B72 Bios, but it didn't help. Thanks

What's that? You already asked for that in another thread (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=123557.msg932826#msg932826). Please don't open various threads for the same issue.
I already said in the other thread you can't set 16 manually. Set it to auto.

[AMD] MSI MS-65703 K7N2 Delta 2 LSR & AMD DURON 1800 Running at 1972mhz

HI! well i so happy with my msi MSI MS-65703 K7N2 Delta 2 LSR mobo, its sweet!
i use a lot of msi boards at work and decided to buy another one for my self.
this machine is my file server and it gets some insane traffic 35+GB a week.
i have an 1800mhz duron over clocked using dynamic overclocking on the second highest setting.totally stable @1972mhz but pc wizard and a few other appz say my max speed is 2193 anything over 2 ghz i'll be stoked with i have updated to the new bios with no problems. since i dont know durons that well what is the max i can get out of this cpu. i would rather not use dynamic overclocking and set the settings my self, so i would love some advice on this one, like voltage settings,fsb and so on. i have a monster heatsink with 2 120mm fans and 5 case fans. the highest temp ever was 92deg so i'm running way cool. plus i have some decent ram and a good power supply so i would love to get the most i can out of this machine.
anyways thanks!

Well the informative sticky by Kingfisher roxorz! i got both my comps running great!
my K7N2 Delta 2 LSR & AMD DURON 1800 is running at a bit over 2100mhz and its solid! my cpu temp never goes over 96deg thanks to artic silver 5 and a monster heatsink. the trick is to get your mem timings solid and i also had to move my dimms around to get dual channel that made a huge diff! the new nforce chipset drivers also help.
i got my other sys a K7N2 Delta 2 LSR & AMD ATHLON XP 2200 running great @ around 2230mhz at 99deg with the gigabyte cooler pro heatsink and 3GB of supertalent pc-3200 ddr. UNF!
each sys is in the large antec pro view 1000 server case w/ 5 80mm 3200rpm case fans and w/ geforce 5200 128mb vids
thanks MSI!

Please don't keep posting the same question in multiple topics.
Before you even consider overclocking, you should ensure your system is stable at stock settings. Also you'd be foolish to attempt a BIOS update on an unstable system.
Please read the >>Posting Guide<<, describe your problem in detail, and then we can help you better.

K7n2 delta probs pls help / german forum is down so i try here

hi there
i just bought an msi k7n2 delta but i got a few probs. i also bought an athlon xp 2500+ with barton die
so now mz problem i am using the amd boxed cooler and i got a idle temp of 30 degree or 29 this is not normal can t be with this crab of cooler and this processor how does this come
other problem is after i am changing something in bios or it happen without changing to mz processor is autodetected bz the bios as 1100 mhz how come
i reallz dont know what to do ply help me and give me answers
thanks cman

The AMD stock cooler are not to bad and will perform almost as good as a branded 3rd party cooler, as long as you dont overclock they perform well with the specs. A review was done on TomsHardware for the AMD coolers. The BIOS version probably reading the CPU temp wrong. This is a known problem. Can be up to -10 deg from true temp.
As for the CPU speed you need to change the FSB to 166.

USB Prob. MSI Nforce K7n2 Delta-IL part# 6729

hello people,
first of all what the hell is the K7n2 Delta-IL part# 6729???
it seems that my dealer gave an oem product. is this right?
i cant find that motherboard on the msi site at all.
second: i am not able to install usb since there is no usb driver on the cd which came with the board. there is only a english version but i need the german version.
i installed msi live monitor and updatet the latest nvidia driver version with no luck. i am downloaded the driver from the nvidia site with no luck.
so i guess the usb is from a 3. party company and i just need to know what it is.
i find this really really strange especialy i bought 6 boards!!!
please help
thanx alot
