K7N2 delta reboot frequently

Hello ALL
I have a K7N2 delta with arhlon 2600+ 256Mo.
My problem is the following :
My pc reboots frequently since I have upgraded the BIOS (Ver 5.60) and changed my graphic card.
The temperature of the CPU gets up to 80°c....I suppose it is the reason why my PC reboots...But I dont know why the temperature is so high....
Can someone help me please....

Hello,
Welcome to the forum, please start by reading MOAN GUIDE That temp is way to high, sounds like your cooler is not installed properly read CPU Install Guide and Artic Silver

K7N2 Delta reboot by itself... (NO POST)

Hi folks,
Last month I bought a K7N2 and since than it sudenly reeboot by itself...
The best way to simulate this problem is when I play 3d games such as Need for Speed2 Hot Pursuit, but the pc can also reeboot even when you are reading the news on the web or when the system is idle.
Temperature is always ok. Even so, it can also reboot at 38°C.
I've got a doubt on the 12 volts. The bios reads 11,55V when it start up. Can this be the problem? Is this 11,55V ok for the machine? Anyway, I've already tryed other 3 power supplies and all of them shows 11,55V for the bios.
OK, I've already get the bios update to 5.8 but this problem used to happen with the preview version of it too.
If you have any ideia, please post it, please

Hi dude,
I've just replaced my psu again (this morning at the store I bought the first one), so I'm sure this is not the problem.
But the bios still has 11,55V stead of 12v or somewhat close to this value. PC Alert shows 11,55 too, but it may go down to 11,34 when I play 3D games as NFS2HP.
My multimeter reads 11,98 on the psu. Strange, isn't it!?!?
Thanks!

[nforce] K7N2 Delta, having massive lock-ups / random reboots.

Hi all, it's been a while since I last needed your wisdom. Anyway, a couple of days ago my machine began to randomly reboot on me, so I went about trying to figure out what is causing the problem. I've cycled out my PSU, my drives, changed BIOS settings, so on and so forth, and it's still happening. System Specs follow:
MSI K7N2 Delta Mobo
Athlon 2800+ Processor
512 x 2 Kingston ValuRAM PC3200
Generic PSU : 3.3v : 28a, 5v: 30a
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 5950 Ultra 256 MB
Seagate 200GB 7200 RPM Hard drive
Lite-on DVD/CDRW Combo burner
Any ideas? I've been dismantling this thing and rebuilding it over and over for about a week now, and nothing has changed. I get the reboots all the time, graphic-intensive and not. I've even had the machine freeze up in the BIOS menu before. Help me please!!!

Alright, thanks a lot guys for all your help!
Hi there..
I'm not sure if you have fixed the problem or not.....but i have the same board and my pc reboot maybe one or two times a day...
and i'm sure it is my Ram, and i also use 2x512mb Kingston Value pc3200
i have tried with 2x512mb crucial pc3200 from my other pc and then there is no problem...
ps. I haven't been writing in english for a long time.

HI.....
I have a problem with my board K7N2 Delta, when i use 2X512mb pc3200 ram, doesn't matter which brand.... in dual channel, my pc keeps rebooting after a few seconds....some times i even cant get to windows.
i have tryed putting the ram in the different slots, but it is still the same.
booth brands of ram can run dual on other boards....
Should i change something in bios or.....?
What do i do wrong?

dram frequency should be 1:1, particularly so if having problems like so
fsb = 166. Also want memory bus at 166 Mhz, means ddr = 333
see if that gets rid of reboots
I have changed frequency to 1:1.......and i am actually running in dual channel now....
my ram are running 166 with timmings 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 7
before in single channel frequency
my ram was running 200 with timming 3 - 3 - 3 - 8
let see for how long it keeps going.

K7N2 Delta: frequent Tone freeze

Quick Overview of system
K7N2 Delta
400 Watt power supply
2500+ Barton
512 Pc 2700
128 radeon 9500 pro
Audigy 2 ZS
The problem started when i realized that the motherboard i bought didn't support the 4.1(5.1). I needed the higher end version. So i go out and buy a sound card (one listed above) that does support it and it started just to lock up with a high pitched squeal after a random period of time. The squeal happens in anything with sound (music games etc.)
Total lockup. I've tried everything. reformats with new drivers on sound cards and the motherboard. Im stumped. Any had a similar problem and fixed it?
-Thanks

The K7N2 Delta does have support for 5.1. But there is a better audio driver than the nforce one to enable this feature. Just download it at Realtek site:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True
Maybe you could change this audigy 2 you bought for something else more usefull.

Someone plz help me with my k7n2 delta-ilsr

Hey everyone,
I just put my sytem togother and ran into a problem. I got the system to boot up just fine. It was not until I tried installing windows xp proffesional that I ran into problems. The installation process runs pretty smoothly, until the computer reboots to run windows for the first time. After it reboots the windows logo appears and the after 2 seconds or so, a blue screen appears saying that windows was shut down to prevent any damage to my computer. I have never encountered this problem before when I built other systems. The screen suggests that I should check my HDD's for viruses or check to see if they are configured correctly. The HDD's are SATA and I have them set up in RAID 0 mode and yeah I installed the RAID drivers during the installation process. Thinking that I had made mistake setting up the SATA drives, tried installing windows using a regular IDE hard drive and it gave the same message. I am stumped anybody have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated . My system specs are below.

Memory that comes with timing of 5 2 2 2 or 6 2 2 2 or usally winbond BH-5 memory chips. Ones with 5 3 2 2 or CH-5 winbond chips. The BH-5 chips overclock a little better than the CH-5. (Muskin uses BH-5 winbond in there black ram)
Winbond is no longer making BH-5 chips but is going to make a limited run of them as demend is high for them.
The first number shown here is the Traz and it controls the flush timing bench testing is showing that a higher number of 9, 10 or 11 or getting better bench results than the 6 or 5. Thats with Dual Channel memory.
The timing you show probly should be something like 8 3 3 3 or 8 3 3 2.5 unless it is there faster Dual channel ram.
The timing numbers can also appear like this 2 2 2 5 the high number is the Traz either way.
Look on your memory manufactor web site for the timing that if should run at also look at the voltage as this can make a big differance.

Strange phantom restarts on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Just wanted to see if I could get opinions on this. My MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo runs real nice now, but still, on occasion, very rare and intermittently, it will just restart. Not likely a heat issue, as the temps are nice and low. Also, not just happenning when I'm playing a game or anything strenuous. Did it once while checking email, once during install of an MS Office program, and once during a game. Could it be my old Gforce 2 MX 200 video card, as the picture sometimes gets wavy (like fine waves on an ocean), and the old computer it was in did similar things, or is it common with this mobo.

I had errors on test 4 not 5 with Winbond 2-512 Dual Channel called Hardcore Cooling and they said that getting errors with memtest86 may not mean that the ram is defective, it may not be compatible with the memory comtrol and they had me RMA it back. I also was not able to run the ram stable at there advertized rate of 6 2 2 2 it was only stable at 8 3 3 2.5
I replaced it with OCZ after talking to there Tech support people about compatiblety problems with the Nvidia chipset. Sense I installed the OCZ I only had one ram reboot and when I checked I was running the voltage at 2.5 and OCZ said that I should be running at 2.6. They also said that I could run it up to 2.8 with no worry.
Look on manufactor web site to see what ram timing yours should be running at and what voltage, Auto setting in Bios is not always the best setting.
If it still not stable at manufactor spec than I'd talk to who ever you bought it from about replacing it or refund and buy something thats on the Nvidia compatible list.
Most ram manufactors have a list of motherboards that there ram will work on but sometimes the newer boards like K7N2 or not listed yet as still working that out.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chip

I tried to install 3 of the Crucial Ballistix Tracer (1 Gig Each) in this motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chipset) and it will not run stabilly no matter what I tried. Is this a bios conflict with the memory? If so, are there any new bios updates? I have tried cas settings and voltage settings but nothing works. It will how ever run perfectly with only 2 sticks in single channel mode. It will not run same 2 sticks in dual channel mode. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know of any new motherboards with maybe NFORCE 4 Chipset that support all 3 sticks of this memory and an AGP graphics card? Im thinking of a new motherboard but I still need to have AGP and SATA.
Barton 3200 core proc.
System has ran fine for a solid year until I tried new memory. Please help!

Ok I tried to use relaxed FSB by -10 and relaxed mem timings but still unstable due to the motherboard trying to use dual channel memory. If you can modify the bios to where it will not have the capability of dual channel memory I truly believe it will work. Will u try this for me? I would greatly appreciate it as I am really not ready to spend all the money on new equipemtn when this suits my needs for now.
sure but as i said before this is gona be experimental and risky. Here we go:
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Experimental MOD E1(Disable Dual CH ability)
Procedure is automated in best possible safest way to BIOS update.
Prepare a blank diskette in a good condition(newest one etc.)
]execute file under XP will make bootdisk with automated BIOS update procedure. when diskette is ready, reboot PC and boot from FDD(floppy), wait a bit, then you will be asked for final confirmation about BIOS update process, press a key to proceed, after BIOS update is complete, ensure that you got successfully output message from flash program. then power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit power button several time to drain caps electrify, touch with hands some metal for ES discharge, and Clear CMOS.
pull back power cord, power up your PC, when you see CMOS checksum error,(expected msg) hit F1 to continue to re-build DMI pool data, then reboot and enter in BIOS, LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, and SAFE AND EXIT.
NOTE: Ensure your PC is stable before proceed with BIOS update.
NOTE: Use it at own risk, chance of failure is big, cannot guarantee results and safest as provisional mode which can guarantee it will work stable with features. also cannot test it personally before give you. (don't have mobo anymore)
Using it may end with dead mainboard (BIOS chip re-flash will be required, if somethink goes wrong)

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.

K7N2 Delta problems

Hey all..having a huge problem with my computer and have no idea what's going on.....when i try to reformat, i am getting errors with blue screen. errors are as follows: Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area followed by the stop error numbers
Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal
IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equa
as well as a wait or yield error in a DPC routine
Now, when i reset the bios, it will reformat and install windows, but I never had to do this before. Also, when i am up and running, i am getting both crash and reboots, as well as lock-ups. Again, never happened before a month or so ago. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know if this is a PSU issue, a BIOS issue( I just updated to the latest BIOS version, but after all the problems), a heat issue or what. Here are my specs:
MSI K7N2 Delta
Athlon XP 3200+
2x512 mb of DDR333 RAM
usually use Radeon 9700 Pro, but am currently forced to use FX 5200

any help would be appreciated gang...have a good one !!

Flash the bios back to B30. Much more stable than B40. B40 are really buggy same as the beta one. Good Luck.

K7n2 delta-l question:)

Hi all,
K7N2 Delta-L is a new board for me, and day by day I discover new things, some are positive, others are negative:)
Today I want to ask you about some negative aspects:
1. When I want to set the Vcore of the CPU at 1,55V (in fact I want to set it to 1,50V, but this option is not possible in bios), after reboot, the Vcore in bios is ~ 1,61V:)
2. The Vbat in bios show me 0,00V, but my bios settings are kept after each reboot, so I think the battery voltage cannot be zero:)
The bios is flashed with the latest version (5.4). Do you have some ideas?!?
Thanks!

Thanks for your replies:)
I'm new in the nForce "world", after a long time with VIA boards, and maybe that's why I came here with a lot of questions:)
I've learned that bios for nForce it's a little bit tricky with settings, but I hope this items will be fixed in the next releases.
On the other hand, I managed to have a very stable system, with a 1700+ thoroughbred b0 overclocked at 2600+ (333mhz fsb) @1,6V Vcore, in dual channel (1:1), with 2 different memory modules (Samsung PC2700 & PQI PC2700)
But still I'm curious if this MB is able to handle the "Keyboard Power On" feature (this feature is not advertised in user manual or MSI website). This feature is managed by Winbond HW monitoring chip or by nForce northbridge/southbridge chipsets?!?
I like this feature, I used it on my latest motherboards, and I cannot believe that such a new board (and coming from MSI!) is not able to handle this feature:)
All the best!

K7N2 Delta-L deteriorating cmos resets

Hi
System info :
K7N2 Delta-L mobo
XP2500 Barton
2 x 256mb Samsung (Korean) PC3200
Coolermaster CP5-8JD1F-0L hsf
PNY ti4200 128mb
Maxtor 40g 7,200 hd
Pioneer DVD
LG CD-RW
2 x 80mm case fans
1st psu 400w generic
2nd psu Thermaltake 420w
All installed with first psu, and XP pro. Running no problems. Tested cpu at 11 x 200 (not straight off, gradually built up to it, watching for stability or temp problems), was running fine at stock voltages, ran 3d mark 2001 successfully. Backed things off to 10.5 x 200 to ensure stability. Re-ran 3dmark 2001, then ran prime95 overnight (8+ hours), with no problems at all. Temperatures were fine, I set the cpu temperature alarm well into the safe side in the bios (55deg). The highest cpu temperature PC Alert displayed, was 29 deg.
Updated the bios to 5.3, rebooted and checked the settings in the bios, went back into XP, no probs, re-ran 3dmark, went online, and started to play Dark Age of Camelot. After somewhere around 2 - 3 hours, the display started to "stutter", and the mouse movement became erratic. I logged off, checked PC Alert temps, all was fine, but 12v line had gone down to 11.56v. Rebooted to check the volts in the bios. They were down too, also the blue line selector had acquired a mind of its own, randomly headed anywhere when next item was selected, so I switched off, and guessing the psu to be maybe a bit inadequate, ordered the Thermaltake 420w to replace the 400w generic.
The Thermaltake arrives, install and fire up, after clearing the cmos to start again, and set up with basics. Voltages were all very satisfactory. In the meantime I had checked the cpu seating and thermal compound, and there had been no problems, and I also took the heatsink off the ti4200 to check thermal compound, cleaned and re-applied (as I did with the cpu).
On the fire up into XP, got a bsod with file corruption notice. Booted into Me install cd, formatted the drive, loaded smartdrv, and started a new XP install. The system locked up after a successful install, about 2 minutes into the worktop (went to use windows explorer to access drivers, etc., and it froze). Had to use the reset button, and it would not post. Cleared the cmos, and it posted. Reflashed the bios to 5.2 that was on the distribution cd just in case.
Since then, it has been a catalogue of failed installs, lockups and increasingly difficult clearing of the cmos. It is now at the point that a cmos clear does nothing (with the other pins at 100 and safe mode), and it fails to post. I get to the 3 lights flashing on the keyboard, and that is it.
I removed the board from the case, just in case I had hallucinated and missed a riser or something, but the risers were in the right place, and each had a fibre washer on top. Tried booting with the board out of the system, with just the cpu/hsf/memory/graphics, with no joy, also tried with a Gf 4 mx 440, and also no joy.
In retrospect, I don't think the 400w psu was too bad to drive the system, but it was worth being cautious - it has driven another system with no problems since. The cpu was performing great, as was the memory. There was no problem with the hsf or agp card. Memory was tried single stick in each memory slot (and all of it had flown through 3dmark and prime95 previously).
I am tempted to suspect something is adrift to do with the Athlon powersaving mode that has been mentioned in these forums. Other than that, there was something a bit weak on the mobo, and it has slowly bitten the dust.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

PS.
The case is one of those Superflower Midi towers, with good case volume. Airflow was quite nice with the 2 extra fans, one at front pulling in, the other at rear extracting.
The fan on top of the heatsink, is the standard Coolermaster, which overhangs the heatsink either side, with the bonus of blowing a nice airflow over the northbridge.
The 400w generic psu had 2 fans, which were also pulling a fair airflow through the case. I didn't get any indications of anything even aproaching overheating.

K7N2 Delta-L: Strange cold boot problem & solution

My K7N2 Delta-L has a problem cold booting when the vcore is set in the bios at 1.65v of higher. After a cold boot, you get a blank black screen. I noticed that even if you run at default speeds but set the vcore to 1.65v of higher the problem still occurs. There is no problem rebooting however.
I found the following solutions:
1. After you power up and get a blank, hit the reset button.
2. Don't unplug your PC. My PC is connected to a AVR and after I power down the PC I usually turn the AVR off. If i do this, than the computer will have a booting problem if I try to boot it up 30 minutes later or so. Now if I don't unplug it/power off the AVR than everything is fine.
I don't understand why it acts the way it does though.
Does anyone know of any other solutions?

Have you cleared the cmos. If you do be sure you have the power turned off don't move the cmos jumper with the power on.
I found that turning off power at power supply and unpluging, than turning on the computer the fans will spin just a little this drains all the power. Clear cmos 2-3 than return to
1-2 position.
Than plug the power back in and turn it back on, than try the computer again.

K7n2 delta-L o/c advise (for a newbie)

I have a K7N2 Delta-L, a Athlon XP 2500+ barton, 512 ram (2x256 Kingston/Infineon RAM, CAS 3, dual chanel) and a ATI radeon 3600SE GC.
I have set the bios settings to "High Performance" (preset in the bios), but someone told me that with a Nforce2 chipset, those settings are not "synchronised" (I understand: not optimized). So my question is: how should I set the bios manually to get a better o/c than the automatic "High Performance" settings ?
I don't want to make my motherboard overheat, and I would like to keep it stable ( I enjoy the stability of my MSI). Could someone suggest me a few tweak for the bios (or with Nvidia System utility) to make my system faster, but safely !
Thank you very much !
PS: Here are the settings someone suggested me on MSI France forum, but it made my PC crash seriously, and I could not even reboot... had to cleat the CMOS !
System performances => manual
cpu fsb clock => 200
cpu interface => high performances
FSB/RAM ratio => 1/1
memory timings => manual => 11/3/3/2.5
FSB et AGP spectrum => disabled
AGP aperture size => 128
Frequency/voltage control => DRAM => 2.8 volt
Cpu ratio => 10
Vcore => a little bit more than the default setting

which you already do.
But these settings made my PC crashed... I could not reboot and had to clear the cmos... the problem was with the processor, I think.
Quote
vdimm 2.8v is a bit high.
is it neccessary to have it that high ?
I don't undestand if it is necessary... usually I prefer using low voltage to keep my PC cooler. I would prefer "under-volt" my CPU rather than "over-volt" it.
