K7N2 DELTA2 PLATINUM - Sound Probs, Very Strange

OK, i bought a brand new K7N2 DELTA2 PLATINUM and it works great, except from the sound which installs and in the system devices it is registered as there without yellow explanation or red cross. Is set to auto not disable in cmos.
When I try playing something it plays but no sound actually comes out. I have checked the front port switch and accourding to the manual (which was wrong over clearing the cmos, thanks guys for helping me solve that) is fine. Cab even adjust volumes in the volume control in windows.
I have tried various different drivers including the included ones and various of the internet. I have the mid Jan versions of all nforce drivers.
Everthing else on comp works fine, though if i leave the computer unplugged at mains for more than a few secs, when i switch back on the keyboard or mouse (ps/2) do not respond and all the light of the keyboard are on whether the computer is on or not. This is solved by unplugging and plugging back in mouse and keyboard.
I have also borrowed a pci card from someone and it works fine.
Please help, suggestions would be much appreciated
Note, other thing is that it is a Realtek ALC650 chip officially though something came up on a program listing system stuff that it s an ALC655; just thought i would include.

good idea to try knoppix
if knoppix does work, then back in windows, did you install this audio driver?

just out of interest what was your old motherboard?
It was a shite PC Chips M848A, with some c-media 5.1 audio chip.
Thanks for helping mate.

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum will not boot up

    i have a new K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, a new computer case,  and just looking to transfer my old hard drive that was on my old mobo to this new mobo and computer case. I am running XP pro w/sp2. i have installed a new dvd burner and a new cd burner. these items where not previously connected to old pc.  I have a MSI-FX5500 video card installed as well. now keep in mind that i already have my old hard drive with XP pro on it, when i go connect all the devices and power on the pc, i am able to go into the bios, it recognizes my 2gigs of corsair memory, my hard drive is recognized, both my cdr/w and my dvdr/w drives are recognized, however, when it starts to load XP from my hard drive, a very quick blue screen comes and goes and i am unable to read the error message. I was wondering is there anyway to slow down or freeze the screen so that I can read the error message? Also, more information about the setup, since i am unable to load XP pro that i already have on my hard drive, I am unable to install the software drivers for either the motherboard or the video card....... Any point of direction would be greatly appreciated. I have built several computers from the ground up before and this is the first time I have ran into this problem........ thanks

    since the hard drive was set up on your old mobo then it'll not work straight off on the new one as the details in the registry will be different. One way around it is to boot up off the xp cd and select to install xp and then when it finds your old install on the drive select repair the old installation and this should sort it and will keep all your data thats saved on there.
    Once into windows remember to uninstall ALL the old drivers and install all the new ones or problems will arrise and force you into doing a full fresh install.

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum w/Version B.5 BIOS, trouble with post and XP install.

    I have
    K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
    MS-6570E Version 1.0 motherboard
    AMD Sempron 2600+
    Elixir 500MB PC-3200 DDR (3 sticks, total 1.5GB)
    eVga Nvidia MX4000 64MB AGP card
    Maxtor ATA-100 PCI controller
    I pulled everything else out of the box. I've tried the B.3, B.4, and B.5 BIOS and set everything to Optimized Defaults. I created a striped RAID Array of 4 WD 80GB drives on the primary and secondary onboard controller. The CD is on the Maxtor controller.
    There are some problems I can't figure out.
    1) The mobo identifies the CPU as Athlon XP 1100
    2) The POST hangs just before seeking the IDE drives. I have to hit a key for it to continue.
    3) The LED's on the D bracket have the top right light dark until the key is hit. Something to do with initializing the floppy controller.
    4) The XP install fails to a blue screen just after hitting the F8 key to accept the license. The code is 0x0000007B.
    Can someone tell me what these issues have to do with each other and how I can correct them?

    Quote from: dmichael34 on 17-September-05, 22:42:56
    The Maxtor controller was removed when you originally suggested to do so. The add on controller is an SIL 680 RAID.
    I will try reseating the processor next.
    I can also attempt a boot through POST without the array, as this shouldn't affect the boot process.
    I did notice that the ctrl-alt-del on the LEFT side of the keyboard doesn't work.
    However, the ctrl-alt-del on the RIGHT side of the keyboard does work.
    Maybe I've been looking for a serious problem and overlooking the obvious.
    I do not see how the CPU temp would cause a pause at boot until "any key" is hit... it sounds more to me like the system has paused to either look for a device or boot a BIOS on a device card.
    If I am not mistaken, you are using a RAID card to boot windows? Is this correct?
    If that is true it is possible the boot sequence is not set correctly in the BIOS such as "BOOT OTHER DEVICE" ( I cannot remember the exact term in the BIOS)
    I am not sure about that but you could try changing the boot sequence so your RAID card is above "HARD DISK" on the list

  • Problems with K7N2 Delta2 Platinum

    Hello!
    Just bought new mobo, MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum and I am trying to get it working. My problem: Computer starts OK  but there's no signal from GPU and no diagnose sound (the beeb when the computer starts). No picture nor sound. What should I do? I've tried another Graphics card but it didn't help. Should I jumper the processor somehow?
    Technical specs:
    -AMD Athlon 3000plus
    -MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
    -1 gig 400Mhz Samsung DDR-RAM
    -Antec Sonata case and TruePower 380W Power
    -Ati Radeon X800 Pro GPU
    The probelm might be in the PSU's 12V line, because I had a problem plugging it to the mobo. It didn't go to the bottom, I had to put some force for the effort  .
    Thanks you all trying to manage this for me

    The DLED indicated RAM that is not compatible with nForce. I would still recommend trying nForce Approved RAM to be sure.

    ohm. I found it myself already. Are you 100% sure it was the "RAM is not compatible with nForce"-led because there seems to be DDR
    400 SAMSUNG 512MB 64M X 64 3 M368L6423ETM-CCC on the list and my memory is labeled M368L6523BTM-CCC so it appears to be quite identic to the one on the list? So many Samsungs on the list, why would my memory do any difference   ?

  • MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum + Corsair mem = hell

    Alright, Last christmas I got an MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Mobo. I had an AMD Athlon XP 3000+
    w/333mhz FSB. I was using cheapo generic ram which worked, but had horrible performance.
    So I bought the TWINX1024-3200XL, Corsair 1GB(2x512) PC3200 400mhz DDR-Ram.
    So........when I set that up, I got HUGE instability problems. While playing Half-Life 2, the game
    would randomly go BSOD, which I didn't get with the cheapo ram. So I went into the options and
    I changed the bios settings from By SPD (which set it to 200mhz fsb) to Auto (which changed it
    to 166mhz after detecting my 166mhz fsb cpu), at which point the instability ended. But every
    time I tried to run it at 400mhz, tons of crashing and BSODs in HL2 as well as windows. So I've
    been using it at 333mhz for the past 6 or so months without any problems, aside from the fact
    that I can't run my $300 ram at stock speed.
    After reading some threads here and at other forums, I learned that apparently my
    motherboard doesn't allow the cpu/ram to run async. Which would make some degree of
    sense, since when they ran sync, both at 333mhz, I encountered no crashing. However, I just
    bought an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ w/400mhz fsb and I was hoping that the problems would be
    over. Alas, no. With the bios set to By SPD at 400mhz, Half-Life 2 (which is what I use to test
    system stability, since Memtest 86, Prime 95, etc. All ran through all the tests and for over 24
    hours without a single error, then the second I play HL2, it crashes) crashes within 1 minute.  So
    I angrily restart and change the bios settings, this time I set it to Auto, which is also 400mhz now due to the 400mhz fsb CPU. I was actually able to play Half-Life 2 flawlessly for about 45 minutes, I made it past the driving phase on the buggy, shot down the chopper, then I eliminated all resistance near the crane. Unfortunately, once everything was dead silent and I pressed R to reload, BSOD. >=|
    Is my motherboard a piece of crap that doesn't support the ram, or is the ram bad? Has anybody else been able to run these two (MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum + Corsair PC3200 Performance Ram) together with perfect stability? Please help! I'm going nuts. =*|
    Many Thanks!

    well, for the errors. In half-life 2, after however much playtime, the screen will just randomly go blue, without any official windows message or error code, forcing me to manually restart with the reset button. It's done this for the most part. Other times, when I change the settings, the game will just boot me back to the desktop, giving me a visual basic runtime error. Oddly enough, when I set the ram to 166mhz fsb, the game is totally stable. I've also just updated to the newest bios 11.50 and tried all of the previous settings as well as the "optimized defaults" and "fail-safe defaults" all still result in the crashing.
    Yeah, I've tested other games. The results were mixed though. certain games like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 would lockup, other games like command and conquer generals seemed to mostly be stable, with a few random crashes. The problem is that I haven't really gotten any true BSODs in games, I just get lockups. However, windows would give BSODs, but they seemed like they were driven by faulty hardware, since it would be random and would go away entirely once I underclocked the ram.
    Other times in the past when I've run the ram at 200mhz fsb, windows would randomly crash when I was browsing the web. In those cases it would give me a stop message and an error number. But I haven't gotten then so far today. I can't remember what all the errors were, but there were about 2-3 random crashes related to ntfs.sys and other system files. So at first, I thought maybe it was just a windows problem, but I had just freshly formatted and reinstalled windows, so it seemed unlikely. And of course, the second I changed it back to 166mhz fsb, I was able to keep my computer on for a week, playing half-life 2, doom 3, command and conquer generals, as well as tons of other games and general web browsing without a single incident. So the problem, although highly vague, seems to be related directly to the ram, if just by the fsb change.
    I dunno, these are really really odd problems, never encountered these before in like 6 years of tweaking my comps, so I'm guessing that it's either just an incompatibility with my motherboard/ram (in which case I'm screwed), my mobo is broken, or my ram is broken. I think my only real option left, now that I've bought a new $130 cpu to match the ram is to RMA the ram and hope that it somehow works. But the fact that it's been able to pass prime95 and memtest86 flawlessly makes me concerned as to whether or not corsair will be able to diagnose a problem, if there is one, with the ram if I do RMA it. sigh.
    I'm not sure if my video card is underpowered, since I have a 550watt psu and the radeon 9800 isn't too much of a hog. But I think I may RMA that as well. damn, I dunno.     
    *update*
    Correction, it seems that now I have a 200mhz fsb cpu, setting the ram to 6:5 for 166mhz causes windows to almost immediately lock up. I'm guessing that's part of the whole unable to run the cpu/ram async thing.     
    Also, when I tried changing the latency to 2.5 and 3.0, I got the following error:
    Many thanks!

  • K7N2 Delta2 Platinum - J10 / Safe Mode ?

    I set my FSB too high and cannot get my system to post. I see plenty of references to the J10 jumper but I do not see that listed in my manual nor can I find it on my motherboard. PLEASE tell me this MB has a jumper for booting in safe mode - this is a new PC I'm setting up for a friend I've tried clearing the CMOS to no avail. System has been stable for days before this.

    Wow, has it only been 3 weeks? Seems like months...in any case, I've now purchased for myself or others 3 MSI boards: 1 K8N Neo Platinum and 2 of the K7N2 Delta2 Platinums. Overall, I'm very happy with these boards. I ended up with 2 of the K7N2s because I decided to RMA the first one (to later be used to upgrade an older PC of mine) and needed another socket A board for a PC that I was putting together for a relative. The long and short of it is that the problem I've detailed in this thread is STILL a problem even after getting it back from MSI earlier today. As far as I can tell it's in the same condition I sent it to them in. The difference now is I have another of these boards that actually works and I can test my RAM, CPU, etc to make sure they are in fact working (which they are) - the name of this story is:
    Please Help Me Fix My Damn Board So I Don't Have To RMA It Again
    (aka Why the hell did they remove the J10 jumper from this board?)
    I've tried...
    different PSUs (antec neopower 480w, truepower 430w, some sort of cheap raidmax 450w)
    any combination of components you can think of: ram/graphics/cpu only, 2 of those 3 only, 1 of
    those 3 only, NOTHING installed on the board at all.
    different RAM in different slots - have tried generic pc2100, kingston valueram, kingston hyperx Corsair cmx-1gig
    clearing the CMOS, removing the battery, hitting the power button, unplugging the PSU (umm not in that order). I've even said a little voodoo prayer as I replace the JBAT jumper to it's original position.
    i've taken the board out of the case (actually i never got it INTO the case today) to make sure it's not shorting somewhere.
    no BIOS beeps at all, yes the speaker does work. the D-LED with at least the basic ram/graphics/cpu installed reads #1 green, all the rest red. After a CMOS reset it goes from #1 green, rest red, to #2 green, rest red, then back to #1 green, the rest red.
    The only thing I haven't tried is using a CPU with a FSB of 100 - this is mentioned in a few older articles I googled when digging around for ideas. All I have is a couple of 3200+'s - both of which work in the good MB.
    HELP...anyone?!? Thanks in advance.

  • [AMD] problems errors ram with cpu vcore change on k7n2 delta2 platinum

    hello
    i'm a french new owner of k7n2 delta2 platinum and i got something strange.
    I have 2*512 PC3200 cas3 of kingston value ram with voltage 1.75 instead of 1.6v running in dual CAS 2.5/3/3/8 at FSB 195 like the cpu : 2500xp barton.
    With occt and memtest86+ i'm stable with a CPU vcore at 1.725.After 195 the computer starts but not really stable. So i put the cpu vcore at 1.75 to put higher fsb and then i get thousands RAM errors with memtest(even if i stay fsb 195). i tried with cas 3/3/3/11 and it was worst. On the bios B5 i tried with different settings : agressive, optimal, 1/1, auto, manual, patch ddr or not...and always the same. My PSU is 450w noname and i've 4 HD 1player 1 burner & a geforce 5200 o/c 10%.
    Of course i'm happy to reach 195 but i feel disapointed to be stop with this problem of vcore/ram because i have not problem of temperature with a silent boost for cpu(52°c maxi), 3 fans for the box(35°c maxi) and copper memory heat spreaders for ram.
    thanks for your answer

    the thing to check is the vdimm voltage for the ram ... i'm pretty sure it should be around 2.6 volts .. try upping it one step
    vcore is the voltage to the cpu and doesn't affect the ram

    "...So i put the cpu vcore at 1.75 to put higher fsb and then i get thousands RAM errors with memtest..." I would say it's not the v. core but the CPU o/c. that gives that errors, as it make not sence to increase v.core only for itself.
    Oh yes it does
    The CPU and memory work hand-in-hand. If one is out of sync it can cause the other to start spitting out errors.
    You are overclocking and that more of a scientific art, not an exact science.
    Components react differently to an entire list of variables, especially the CPU/memory.
    What you are trying to do requires trail and error testing however I agree the Kingston memory is holding you back at this point with the clock you are pushing
    I would go for the most stable FSB settings that allow Dynamic Overclock to be enabled to SERGEANT before I would go for ultra High FSB because you will peak the system at its highest performance curve when you need the boost, and I would bet money that peak would be higher than any strait FSB over-clock you can hit stable.
    Psychologically allot of people think their systems are not running the highest performance it can unless they set the system up at the highest FSB/multiplier and that is simply not true with dynamic overclocking enabled and correctly tuned with the rest of the components.

  • K7N2 Delta2 Platinum won't boot

    I recently bought a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum board (product specifications at http://tinyurl.com/b7u57), but I can't get it to boot. I've searched on these forums but can't find anything that might help me.
    WHAT HAPPENS
    With just the processor, one RAM stick and graphics card connected, I'm able to turn the PC on with the front switch. The front lights come on and the processor fan starts, but there's no "bleep" and no signal going to the monitor. If I try booting with a hard drive connected, the hard drive does not make the "clicking" sound that it's supposed to.
    MY HARDWARE
    PSU: 480w (I've also tried with my old 400w PSU)
    Processor: Athlon 2800 XP
    RAM: 512Mb PC2700 DDR (motherboard manual says it supports PC2700 RAM)
    Graphics card: Radeon 9200
    All of the above work fine with my old board (also an MSI).
    I've also tried my sister's RAM and graphics card with the new one, but it still won't boot.
    The jumpers on the board are all at the factory default settings.
    Can anyone think of anything that I should try before asking for a replacement?
    Thanks in advance!

    The D-bracket displays one green light and four red ones:
    GR
    RR
    Which according to the online manual (there's no explanation of the D-bracket codes in the manual provided) means "early chipset initialization". Another thread I found from Googling these words suggests that the problem might be related to my RAM. But the stick I'm using works fine with my other board and I've tried a different stick too.
    My PSU is 230v. It has a sticker on it which says "DC output max", followed by the following table:
    +3.3v   28a
    +5v   35a
    +12v   25a
    -5v   0.5a
    -12v   0.8a
    +5vsb   2.5a
    Does this mean anything to you?

  • K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Stuck at Decompressing Bios Image

    Hey guys, I just bought this mobo and got everything running great (played CS:S for many, many hours  ) until i tried messing with the raid and then the hard drives disappeared from bios and then I tried clearing cmos.
    now it won't post   and it's stuck with top leds green and bottom leds red, which is "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting". I tried clearing cmos again with the jumpers and also by removing the battery but with no success. How can I revive my bios?
    i don't think it has anything to do with my other hardware, but since you guys are pretty big on including specs so...

    I saw someone talk about some insert button trick and it worked. Is this something that loads fail-safe defaults on all motherboards? it's kinda strange that I never saw anything that gave me a checksum error, so I guess maybe the checksum checker is not working or something? well, now that my comp's up and running, that's it for me. no more messing with it. thanks for taking the time to look at my post.
    oh, i left out my HDs cuz I pulled them and i was just trying to get my comp to boot, that's all. They are 120gig 8mb WD's, one SATA and one IDE. The value ram is rated at 400mhz and ran fine at that speed at 7-3-3-2.5 on my other comp. My PSU provides 18amps on the 12v, not sure if that's good or not.

    Thanks
    Sorry I should have said I don't know how to set up a SATA hard drive so I will be buying a serial ATA hard drive

    SATA is not hard to set up, although there is an extra step involved with loading OS to it and needs to be XP maybe SP2.
    SATA drives are not a problem with the K7N2 Delta2, as single SATA drives are used as Native IDE devices, so there are no extra steps involved, and you do not need to press F6 during Windows Setup. Its exactly the same as installing Windows onto a IDE drive.

  • How to boot from SATA on a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum

    Hi guys,
    here is my problem, I've just bought a brand new HD Samsung SATA II 2504C, once connected to the MB I can' t boot from it, even if I change the boot sequence.
    I have already two HDs connected to IDE ports, under XP I can format it, I can even install a Linus distro such as Elive, but it refuses to boot.
    Is there a trick?
    K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
    BIOS: B5 1/20/2005
    AMD 3000+
    2 HDs UMDA 133
    2 DVD writer LG and SAMSUNG
    1 HD on SATA, which causes me troubles.

    disable IDE RAID and ensure SATA is enabled in BIOS
    disconnect any other IDE HDDs before you install Windows to your SATA drive; they can be reconnected again afterwards.
    make sure that the SATA drive is listed first in 'Hard Disk Priority' under 'Boot Order' in BIOS

  • Help with MSI K7n2 Delta2 Platinum

    Hi everyone,
    I need some help with my system, actually I'm having troubles with my machine, often it restarts or freezes so I have to restart it manually.I own a MSI K7n2 Delta2 Platinum, AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 1 GB DDR-400 CORSAIR, ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB AGP. Recently I did a clean install of Windows XP but usually I work for an hour and suddenly it restarts, and after logging in, Windows reports a log event problem; I think I have this problem because of the drivers, so I would like you to help me. Where I can get the best/last drivers for the mainboard and video card? Should I flash the bios? Is common this kind of problems? Help me please. 
    Thanks!

    sortieins, please start an new thread and make a complete listing of your compoenents including your PSU and the amps on the various voltage rails, especially the +12V rail(s).

  • MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum (No monitor output)

    Hi,
    I recently purchased the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum along with a AMD XP 3200, 512mb DDR Memory, ATI Radeon 9250 256mb and a Maxtor 80Gb Hard disk.
    I followed the included instruction manual closely and feel that everything was installed correctly. However, when I went to boot the computer, there was no output on my monitor.
    The LED on the monitor was green for a few seconds, it then went orange.  The screen itself was black, there was no BIOS screen.
    I have tried 2 monitors, which eliminates them as the problem, I have also tried 2 graphics cards, which also eliminates them.
    The other components seem to be running fine.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    PSU is fine. As it powers up the computer fine.
    not really, as the computer doesn't POST. Is your problem caused by your PSU?
