K7N2 ILSR recognizes 1700+ as 1400 duron...help

The problem is as the title states.
I have upgraded the BIOS to the very latest version(7.6) and everything runs fine and dandy even overclocked (145 Mhz) running DDR 290.
Upon post, processor reads that is running 1547 Mhz Duron....I have done everything I can think of
Any suggestions?

Well...I have cleared the CMOS, but I will try again.
This problem has existed since I got the MB through several BIOS flashes and yes the FSB is set to 133(Jumper J10 is short to 1&2 and jumper J11 is Short)
I have used this processor in a K7T Turbo prior to upgrading to the K7N2 and it worked just fine overclocked to 2000+
Could this be a problem with the MB itself? or even the processor? I have screwed with the BIOS in every way that I can think of to get it to recognize.
There is one more thing, the first time I ever started up with this motherboard it read 'unknown processor 1700+' Ever since then it has been recognizing as Duron.
My system is very stable and benchmarks very well which makes it seem to me like the processor is running correctly just not recognizing properly.
I think that it may be time to ask for a new processor for Xmas....
I appreciate the suggestions, keep'em comin.

K7N2 ILSR + WD 160 Gb SATA HDD help

Hello everybody,
I have a big problem and I've laboured for 2 days.
The story: I decided to replace the old PATA HDD (80GB Maxtor) to SATA HDD (160GB WD). But I can't to install a new os to new HDD, because the Windows install process is unable to identify the new HDD.
If I put back my old PATA HDD and start the old windows, I'm able to use the ne HDD.
Only I can't boot for it (BIOS can't see the new HDD) and can't install a new os to the new HDD.
Fasttrak driver was installed, and it identified the new HDD and RAID Array was created (sriple + 64 kb).
Has anybody idea how I can solve the problem?
Thank for your help.

vorosp, I can't comment on your set-up, but what I can say is that I loaded Windows 2000 on a K7N2 Delta-ILSR using a 70GB WD Raptor about a week ago - I was helped out mightily by Dr Stu. I have just tried it again with a 300Gb Maxtor SATA-150, after reading your query.
I didn't set up anything in particular in the BIOS, but I did remove all the PATA drives. Significant BIOS details are :
No IDE Primary Master or Slave (PATA)
IDE Secondary Master = DVD-RW
IDE Secondary Slave = CD-RW
1st Boot device = CDROM
2nd Boot device = HDD-0
3rd Boot device = Disabled

K7N2-L Overclocking 1700+ B Core Help

Hello all,
I've got a K7N2-L and a 1700+ B core (1.6v), I've managed to overclock it to 12.5*166 with the bios set at 1.625v(bios reports 1.67v).
But I can't seem to break the 166fsb barrier, I've got two (dimm 1+3) pc2700 generic cl2.5 ram modules in running at 2.7v (2 2 2 3). Everything runs totally stable at 166 but at 168 or 170 I get an unstable system. I reduced the memory timing very low settings when testing just incase that was a factor.
I've tried reducing the multiplier to 11.5 and increasing the fsb but no luck, increasing the cpu core voltage to 1.8v and 12.5x180 to jump right over the 170 fsb range but a failure again. The failures are 3d mark 2001 failing and going back to the desk top. But with 180fsb I couldn't get it to boot fully into windows.
With 166 fsb I just use the stock cooler and it's stable, with all the other tests I use a big desk fan pointing in the open case as well and the cpu temp stay under 40 degress.
I can't help thinking that if I can get 166 at 1.67 volts stable the cpu has a lot more in it and something else is limiting the fsb (esp as I can't get over 166 with lower multipliers). Are they any bois/cpu hacks that allow me to access the higher multipliers so I can at least try and get my cpu MHz up?
My system specs are:
K7N2-L with 1700+
Coolermaster 3000+ amd approved
PCI raid card running 2x80G stripped disks
MX440 (not over clocked) soon to be a 9800 pro when it arrives
Any Ideas?
Thanks!!!

Hi wonkanoby,
Yep I've upped the voltage by 0.025 as well, it is showing at 1.66-1.67 too, that seemed to do the trick to get 166*12.5.
I've found someone else who has the same ram and can't get it above 166, so it looks like the ram is the problem. If the ram is the problem do you think.
166 memory, 200 fsb and multiplier 10.5 (2100MHz)
overall would be slower than
166 memory, 166 fsb and multiplier 12.5 (2075MHz)
I've read that having the front side bus and ram frequencies synchronised makes a big difference so it could well be the case that 166Mhz for fsb and ram is the better option.
If this is the case does anyone know anyway to access the higher than 12.5 multipliers? I'd like to try 13 or 13.5 multipliers. I've had a good look around the internet and other forums but I can't find any clear information on whatI need to do to get the higher multiplier ranges.
Thanks.

K7n2 Ilsr! Help Me!

I have a xp1800 and the system work perfect, but I change it to xp2600 333Mhz and I only can boot with the follow jumper configuration J10 1-2 (User Mode - 133Mhz) and J11 Open (100Mhz) if I close J11 the system only beep! Anyone know why? My system is running in what speed 100Mhz or 166Mhz? The BIOS told me the system is at 166Mhz! Is there any program to test FSB speed?
Thanks

Windows is seeing it as a 2600, cpuz is seeing it at 166mhz which equates to a 333. You don't have any problems, all is well!

K7N2-ILSR: adding S-ATA drive to existing system

Hello everyone,
I have a system based on the K7N2-ILSR, Athlon 2500+, 2x160GB IDE Harddrives.
Now I wanted to connect a S-ATA drive (with data on it) from a friend, but I can't get it to show under Windows XP Pro. I've installed the drivers for the Promise chipset and this is shown in the device manager. I understand that you have to create a "1 disk array" before the drive can be used but I can't afford to loose the data on it. Is there any possibility to connect the drive without having to format it?
Thanks in advance,
Bomfunk

K7n2 ilsr boot sequence problem

Hi All,
I have problem with my new k7n2 ilsr mobo. I have a Seagate 120 GB SATA HDD on the SATA RAID controller, and other HDD-s on the IDE1 and IDE2.
If the SATA drive is alone in the system, it boots up normally, but if I connect the PATA drives, the computer want to boot from the first PATA drive.
How can I set up the boot sequence between the SATA and PATA?
I cant find any option in the BIOS.
I hope, somebody can resolve my problem.

K7N2-ILSR sound problem

Hello ,
I'm havinig random weird sound problems :
when i play video after a long time the sound gets laggy/grating/out of sync .if i pause the film and start again it fix the problem . also sometimes after playing for several minutes i get noise/hiss added to the sound.
this happens randomly and after playing for a while. i'm using win xp ,nforce 2.45 drivers and the sstorm control panel.
what causes the noises?
my system :
K7N2- ILSR
AMD XP 2500
twinmos 2X256 PC3200
HITACHI 120GB
GAINWARD GF4 TI4200

I have the exact same problems you mentioned but I am using a old nForce 1 msi board. K7N420-Pro to be precise.
Usually it runs pretty well in games and such, but when ever I try to play winamp it gets very very buggy. sometimes I can't even get through 5 seconds of a song, other times it will get through 2 or 3 and then mess up until I hit next. I upgraded to the 2.45 yesterday from the 2.11 drivers and still got the problems.
I don't think its a heating problem since it has seen far worse heat in this computers past (winter term right next to the wall heater in the dorm) then where it is now in a 72 degree room.
Any help would be appreciated.

K7N2-ILSR Sudden freezing due to onboard sound

I have had a few problems from the start with the K7N2-ILSR, i have overcome them all except my machine freezes when the onboard sound is enabled. I do not have any other cards in my machine except for my Geforce4.
The problem will only occur when the onboard sound has been eneabled in the bios it will happen when you play sound or not it just locks up or restarts!!!
I have read through alot of the posts and i havn't come across any problems that are the same.
Could you please give me some help as i am getting really annoyed with it.

No If i enable onboard sound or install a PCI card i will get a lockup whenever! I don't have to be doing anything it will just suddenly freeze.
I am using my machine now with the onboard sound off and it will not freeze at all but after this session on the internet i get an error and then my machine will not BURN

I installed win2k on the HDD on IDE1 (Master) after setup finished i added the second HDD on IDE3(Raid) set it to a "0" array.
I am going to try a fresh install onto my HDD on IDE3 (Raid) with WINXP chosing the Raid option in setup then install all the latest drivers from nvidia and so on.... The only problem i have is time or lack of!
i have ran the memtest86 V3.0 and i din't get any errors but i ran the test while i had dual ram setup. I will try again seperately.
I have also changed my DDR settings to 333 to match the CPU this has had no effect.
What powersupply would you say is the best? Where to get it from? and how much?

K7N2 ILSR & Sempron 3000+

Hi,
I just installed a new Sempron 3000+ on my mb K7N2 ILSR and I don't know how to configure it properly in the Bios (FSB, etc.)
I installed the latest bios availble thru Live update but the cpu seems to be not recognized as 3000+
Awaiting some help!
Many Thanks in advance!!
David

this is probably just a cosmetic issue.
main question is... is the sempron performing at the correct speed?
if so, it's just a case of the mobo not knowing what to call it. you may try downloading a program like cpu-z or similar to see if it shows the correct ghz and bus speeds while in windows

Hello,
Do you have another video card to try?
Check the memory, remove it and put it back in.
Were you overclocking anything.
Could it be a weak power supply?
If you have a look on the power supply you will find a sticker with the following infomation arrange in a grid/table.
eg
400W
+12v = 18a
+5v = 32a
+3.3v = 28a

K7N2 ILSR random re-booting

Hi all

Master: Lite on DVD Dual layer writer
Slave: Hitachi DVD rom

Windows XP pro
Problem. Started out with a K6 mobo, all went well but after a week PC failed and I had to re-install Windows. Then started getting random shutdowns, initially only when using DVD Shrink but then all of the time until Windows crashed out again!
Went through re-install and some diagnostics and eventually changed mobo for this one, K7N2.
Fresh install of Windows. (Had to phone Microsoft!!) Everything fine for two days and then......random re-boots, mainly on DVD Shrink.
Did following, Changed ram. Hard drive. Power supply up to 550w. Disconnected all drives except master. Disconnected all drives. Re-installed windows to different drive as a test, same issue, possibly seems ok until i do all the updates and get the latest drivers in? Have tried ROM config's only 1 rom connected etc to isolate those. Have changed all cables in case of tiny hidden cracked wire.
In other words, I have tried everthing i can think of, have basically re-built the thing and get same prob under different conditions, installations, even after 2 mobo's, only thing I didnt change yet is the chip. My feeling is probably its a driver issue, have read the comments on the BIOS site and flashed to 7.7 so thats up to date. Am now going to re-format, re-install and run with basic drivers, see how that goes, then introduce drivers and see what makes it crash. Will let you know how I get on if I doont throw the damn thing off of a bridge and take up Knitting instead. In the mean time if any of you can help.......PLEASE!!
PS I Use dvd shrink as a test because it almost always causes a crash, but not always, and during the encryption process which I imagine is very processor hungry, writer doesnt cause crash as its not involved at crash stage.

:idea:ok this i what happen to me when i first install windows and like u geting update and my pc went nut more or les :noidea:I didn,t inable the fire wall. In my case win xp so things keep going wrong if it wasn,t this it was that, still I didn,t know? so what I did was to disconmnect the internet and and once again start from scarch format the drive I intsalled windows xp ( advaned)inable the firewall than updates and things r great, :rolleyes_anim:Give it a shot

How to tell if video card works at 8x speed on MS-6570 K7N2-ILSR?

my mobo is MS-6570 K7N2-ILSR with the latest bios update and my video card is ATI READON 9600 236mb 8x agp and windows xp pro sp2.
when installing ATI Catalist v5.9 (the latest), it configures the card at agp speed: OFF.
in the bios, all i have for agp speed is: AGP 8x - enable/disable.
my friend have gigabyte mobo with the same video card and ati catalist configured his video in windows xp pro sp2 at 8x speed.
why ?
is there any configuration i should check in the bios and/or in windows ?
