K7N2 Delta Only 100MHz FSB works

It's the K7N2 Delta ILSR model. I have an AMD 1800 CPU (will be getting AMD 3000 w/ 400 FSB when FedEx feels like visiting me...) As far as I know, the FSB speed should be 133MHz in BIOS. This worked fine on my previous motherboard, but now when I set it, the system will lock up once a slight load gets placed on the CPU (i.e. starting WinXP, loading setup for XP, etc). When I drop the FSB to 100MHz it doesn't lock up, but it doesn't register the CPU speed correctly (and it shouldn't..)
Any ideas on how to fix it? I have another CPU on the way but in the meantime I wanted to use this one.
It is a 350W PSU, 2x 512MB 400MHz Kingston HyperX RAM, MSI GF4 Ti4200 GPU.
Thanks for any input.

Yep, made sure the Fan/HS was on right before replacing it.
Oh well. Maybe something happened to the CPU in the brief period of time while I was switching boards, that caused it to not operate right at it's regular speed. I guess I'll know when I get my other CPU. If that does the same thing, I guess it narrows it down some.
Still haven't tested that memory yet though.

K7N2 Delta - cant get FSB over 200 ???

..Hi all...
I've bought this motherboard..and with AMD Mobile 2500+ and many different types of 400 DDR memory i cant get FSB over 200 ...
it forks fine on 200 ...but when i go up 202 and higher motherboard reports error that CPU is damaged or not installed properly.
Can this motherborad work over 200 (since this is good OC motherboard) ..or should i forget this.....
Im very sorry that i bought this MB...since for that money i could get much better one...

OK..first i needed to know that this motherboard is capable of forkin FSB over 200
Yes it is, most seem to top out around 218 to 225FSB

You need to drop the multiplier a little if you ever want to see anything over 200FSB

Board is very picky on ram, your lucky that it works without problems to start with with mixed ram.
On Nforce 2 boards you gain a lot more performance running ram and FSB at 1:1 ratio. And with your ram i would keep it at 200FSB and not higher. If you really want to go over 200FSB and still run 1:1 then you will need new ram.
My overall suggestion is leave the 200X12.5 and run your ram 1:1

K7N2 Delta-L and FSB

I set my FSB via bios to 174x12.5...but as to my computer for some reason its showing the FSB at 173.... would anyone know why this happens and is there any way to get it to 174 like it should be. Thanks...

1mhz up or down does it matter ?
all frequencies is a bit off.
take my cpy for instance.
its working at 166*12=1996 mhz. but if i use a program in windows they all report around 2004.6mhz

Problem with K7N2 delta

Im having a problem with the K7N2 Delta. It was working just fine and i went into my Bios and saw that my FSB was only running at 133mgz. So i turnt it up to 200mgz. Now the darn think hangs and wont turn on. I tried to clear the Cmos and set the bus jumper to safe mode but then the computer just beeps. I dont understand what i did wrong. Any suggestions?

K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

Hi
MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
Bios V1016
Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
AMD Athlon XP2800+
2x512mb Crucial DDR
1xSATA HDD
Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's. The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
Thanks for any help.

Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$

K7N2 DELTA-L Alway Crashes

Need help badly, Mobo driving me crazy. Keeps crashing randomly when in windows, but most noticeable when running games. I’ve got all the latest drivers, patches and bios bit there is still no joy.
Run mem test and CPU burn for 6 hours and there is no problems. But when running Prime95 it fails after 30 sec.
I have tried upping the voltages and on the Ram and the CPU and the condition does not seem to be improving.
I know q-tec are rubbish, but even with my old power supply which had an 18A +12v rail the problems were the same.
All temps and voltages are correct an nice, so I cant see the problem please

I have a similar system, but it never crashes, except when I use the video card capture device. It is a very strange thing. I tried almost all nvidia wdm/forceware/nforce drivers, windows versions and video capture softwares.
I also tried to run the system without overclocking but the problem persists. However it doesn't occur all the time. And when it happens is only when I close the video capture software. Does anyone have seen this before? Sorry for the english.
Thank you.

Serius problem with k7n2 delta 2

I have problems with my k7n2 delta2 does not recognize a AtlonXP 3000+ was working in this plate, doing tests of overclock,when to restart do not work the processor in this plate but,the motherboard (k7n2 delta 2) works with other processors, and processor 3000+ works with other motherboards, but Athlon 3000+ with k7n2 delta 2 does not work together, I tested of everything recover the bios, to update the bios and nothing, dont change to default, I hope that can help me beforehand thankful.
tengo problemas con mi k7n2 delta2 no reconoce un AtlonXP 3000+ que ya estaba trabajando en esta placa madre, haciendo pruebas de overclock, y despues de reiniciarla ya no quiso reconocer el procesador athlon xp 3000+, la placa madre (k7n2 delta 2) trabaja con otros procesadores, y el procesador 3000+ trabaja con otras placas madres, pero el Athlon 3000+ con k7n2 delta 2 no trabajan juntos, ya he probado de todo restaurar el bios, actualizar el bios y nada, parece que no efectua los cambios a default, no se que hacer, espero que me puedan ayudar agradecido de antemano.
cuando tiene otro cpu enciende correctamente pero cuando le pongo el xp 3000+ no enciende el monitor ni marca ningun error solo no inicias, pero si enciende.

Why do you say Bios doesn't go to default options if with other CPUs Mobo turns on ? You must have in mind that each time you replace the CPU you must Clear CMOS to return to default options, and also you should clean HSF base and CPU die from old thermal grease. At least you know both CPU and Mobo works.
Por qué dices que la Bios no vuelve a las opciones por defecto si la tarjeta madre funciona con otros procesadores ? Debes tener en cuenta que cada vez que cambias de CPU deberías borrar las opciones que entraste en la Bios como también limpiar la base del disipador de temperatura de la CPU y la CPU misma y usar nueva pasta térmica. Al menos sabes que tanto la CPU como la tarjeta madre trabajan.

Fsb overclocking...what does it actually change? (K7N2 delta-L)

Hi all,
I got my new mobo K7N2 delta-L, and I've heard some talk that it should be safe to OC fsb with this mobo as it wouldn't change any other speeds than only the speed of cpu.
So I'd like to hear how it really is, if I change the fsb does it have any impact on pci or most importantly ide devices? In bios I can set the speed of AGP and memory manually so I guess the fsb doesn't affect to them. But does it then if I don't set memory manually and set it to AUTO or SPD? Most importantly I'm asking what about the IDE, now as I understand pci speed is the same as IDE speed, and there is option in bios "AUTO detect pci clock", if I set that to enabled, does that mean that my hard drive and cd-rom speed always stays the same (33mhz) nomatter what I change my fsb? Please someone give me detailed information on how changing the fsb on K7N2 delta-L works and everything that it affects, or does it really only affect on cpu speed as I've heard. Thank you very much already!

Just from my experience upping the fsb also ups your PCI
cards, AGP video,CPU and last but not least memory.
I think the most gain is in memory benches. The CPU doesn't jump much but the memory is very noticable.
Upping too far can and will lead to a non posting computer,
the tough part after hours of experimenting is to try and play your games without addition problems.
I was O/C'd very well but had to quiet it all down to play Grand theft auto Vice city.
Had trouble with the O/C on that one alone, all else was fine with 446fsb 223x10.5 but had to wave it all good bye for the sake of the game.I like the game so near stock is what I'm running now.
I did however just upped my video card to a Radeon Pro 9800 and wait for it and hope I can reclaim some O/C but heck with that card I may not need it.

Band new computer with k7n2 delta will not boot or moniter not working

this is my first complete system build so please bare with me. the system uses a enlight 420 watt power supply in a lan boy case. it has a K7N2 Delta mother board with a 2500 barton amd cpu. the drives include 2 cd drives 1 floppy and one 120g hd, pny 5600 ultra video card 1 g kingston value ram ddr dual channel. when i turn on the power all the fan turn on the led in the front of the case light up but i get no boot or or video card not sure which yet. i get #1 led is red #2 led is red #3 led is green #4 led is green. i has tried to unplug drives with no change. tried a cmos reset with no change. tried a old voodoo video card with no change. tried to set the fsb to 100mhz with no change.
any other idea or suggestions would be helpfull.
justin
just tried used one stick of ram at a time with no change. the p.s. is +5v 40a, 3.3v 30a, +12v 18a, -5v .3a, -12v .8a, +5vsb 2a.

GOT IT TO POST LAST NIGHT. I HATE TO SAY WHAT I FOUND I FEEL A BIT LIKE AN IDIOT. WHAT I FOUND WAS THAT THE RESET BUTTON IS POLORIZED AND I HAD IT ON BACK WORDS. I TOOK ME WALKING AWAY FROM IT FOR A DAY TO COME UP WITH THE IDEA.
THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT EVERYONE

OC: can change multiplier but NOT the FSB on K7N2 Delta ILSR XP1800+ TB 'A'

I have had a good look at the various threads in the forum which to be honest confused me a bit more. I explain.
The good news (for me): so far I have successfully changed the clock speed of a Thoroughbred 'A' XP1800+ on a K7N2 Delta board. Default is 11.5 but 12.5 or 8 are working fine. On 12.5 the mobo recognises the cpu as a XP2000+.
The bad news: I cannot change the FSB from 133 to anything else even in Advanced Chipset Features, manual, high performance settings. Not even a lower one works for this setup. As said above, the multiplier however IS reasonably overclockable - the system simply won't let me change the default FSB of 133.
As far as I understand it, the 1800+ is unlocked even in its TB 'A' version. So the 'wire trick' won't help me I guess.
The fairly low spec AGP card? If so then a lower FSB should be possible.
The memory should be fine, it's CL2.5 Crucial PC2700 333 DDR.
BTW: I don't think the PSU is the problem here. I had a 380W PSU in there (noisy although named silent!) which didn't change a thing.
Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Chris

I unplugged psu, cleared cmos, applied default bios values. Then as suggested set multiplier to auto (H/W), reboot, and set the cpu/fsb interface back to Manual.
And it worked! Crazy. The system must have been stuck in some kind of loop... anyway, thanks very much Wonkanoby for your help!
After sorting this prob, I gradually raised the FSB to 166 while decreasing the multiplier to 9.5 = 1577MHz. Temps didn't chage a bit which makes sense for the cpu but I expected the northbridge chip to get a bit warmer. Don't know about memory.
Does any of you have experience with OC a Thoroughbred 'A'? I assume it is less OC'able than a type 'B'.
Or in other words: where's the limit?
Cheers
Chris

AMD Athlon 2600+ only reading as 2000+ on K7N2 Delta

First off, here's my machine:
k7n2 Delta Mobo
Athlon 2600+ w/ Heatsink and fan and 333 FSB
512 MB DDR PC 3200
Liteon CD-RW/DVD Combo
60 GB Western Digital HDD
350 Watt Power Supply
Let me know if I missed anything
The basic problem is that My processor is only being read as an Athlon 2000 at best. I've tried to change every setting imaginable in the BIOS, to no avail. The highest core/bus ratio i can get is 12.5, at which it reads as 2000, and at 13 it nosedives to 667.
One interesting tidbit is that if I try to move the J10 jumper from safe (100) to User Select (133/166) the machine doesn't post (I thought I had it figured out for sure there). It would also be important to note that it was indeed functioning flawlessly and registering as a 2600+ before my other power supply crapped out. Well, not flawlessly (audio) but that's another post, I guess.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the fast repsonse. By 'better' psu, do you mean a quality one, or simply with one higher capacity?

K7N2 Delta-ILSR - USB to Serial Adapter Doesn't Work!

Is anyone aware of an error such as the follows with the K7N2 Delta-ILSR?
I am trying the use a USB to Serial Adapter, namely the a Prolific PL-2303.
However, my PC does not seem to like it, nor does it what to cooperate with it at all.
On one occasion i have managed to get the device to show in the Manager window with the exclamation mark,
and upon checking its properties it told me: Prolific This device cannot start. (Code 10).
I have un-installed all my system USB drivers and the device drivers, and reinstalled them, but again, no matter what i do i cannot get it to work.
Any ideas peeps?
Cheers, G.

Don't think it will this time, but on occassions booting into SafeMode and removing possibly half-installed copies of USB devices from Device Manager has helped.
Is this what you are looking for, Henry?
http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=33
"Note: Please take notice of the installation order. First, run the InstallShield wizard,
and then plug in the USB to Serial adapter"
...How many times have I said that, if a USB device needs a driver you install that before attaching the device!?

Soundblaster live gameport not working on k7n2 delta-L

i have a k7n2 delta-L motherboard and i installed a soundblaster live sound card and can not get the game port to work at all. first i thought it was a bad card so i installed a different card and the same thing so ithen thought it was the game controller and tried a different one and it didnt work either . and yes i disabled the on board sound in the bios before installing the card. i have it in ide slot #3. seems to be the best to go with .i am running win 98 se. and all my drivers are up to date. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

fourhooffarms,
In the BIOS Disable the onboard Realtek Sound and then put the Live! in PCI Slot 3 or 4, then set the IRQ of that Slot to IRQ5.
Also list all your IRQs and every Device on each IRQ.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. Do list the specs on your Power Supply too.

HD Led not working with SATA drives on MSI K7N2 Delta

I noticed the HD led does not work with the SATA drives on my MSI K7N2 Delta ISLR
I confirmed that the led is not burnt out by reconnecting a spare IDE HD with XP on it to IDE 1 and the led worked when there was activity, but it does not work when connected to IDE3 or if the SATA drives are connected to Serial 1 & 2.
Could it be because the motherboard doesn't support and hdd led for the Promise SATA controller.
I had Bios v7.3 and flashed to v7.4 with no luck.
Could a new bios update fix this problem?
Anybody seen this before?

basically it not wired up so works for no one
