K7N2G-ILSR onboard video 1152x864 Resolution not avaliable???

I just purchased the MSI K7N2G-ILSR mainly due to the plethora of features that comes with it. Before I upgraded, I was using a GeForce2 and I liked to use 1152x864 -32bp as my desktop resolution on my samsung 955df. After building my new comp, the 1152x864 resolution is not avaliable and EVERY OTHER ONE IS. Does anyone else have this problem or know how or where to fix it? I am confident my monitor can handle it as I was using it before. I have a hard time believing that the integrated Geforce4MX on the motherboard simply does not support that resolution.
Even when i go to "List all modes" for the videocard, that resolution does not show up for any 32/24/16/8 color bps.
Any help would be appreciated
Also, is there an nv4_disp.inf file editing fix for tne 43.45 dets?

LethalPencil,
If you want the hidden features for the Detonator4 Drivers then :
Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
Quote
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
"Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
"NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4 and Resoution Settings.
Take Care,

MSI K7N2G-ILSR onboard video initialization problems

Hi, today I replaced my wife's trusty Abit KT7 motherboard with a MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I used the onboard video since she doesn't play games. Everything seemed to be working fine until I went to boot it up. The computer started up as usual, but the monitor did not intialize like it should. The message on the monitor said that " the monitor was working correctly and to check the cord or the computer." I rechecked all of the connections and everything seemed to be installed correctly. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the onboard video, so I decided to install the Radeon 9000 that was in the old system. To my suprise I received the same message when I started the computer up the second time. I have built several systems and have never encountered a problem like this before. I read the thread about problems with the Radeon cards, but no one mentions anything about problems with the onboard video. I am using a Duron 750, Antec 330 watt PSU and 512 megs of Kingston Value Ram. I know that several posters have recommended that nforce 2 users need a more pwerful PSU and better ram, but I have a hard time beleiving that those things would cause the video not to intilaize. I would appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions because I need to make a desision about hwat to do with this board. Thx.

Well I appreciate the replys. I formated the harddrive before I installed the motherboard because I was worried that the via drivers would cause problems when I booted it up and installed Win XP. Bonz, you are right, I am just guessing that everything is OK since I can hear the system start up, but I can't see anything since the video never intializes. I rechecked all of the connections and even took the motherboard out and reinstalled the cpu, memory and motherboard and the same thing happened. I started thinking something was wrong with the monitor so I unplugged the monitor from my system, which I know works, and it did the same thing. I just wish I could get the video to intialize so I could see to get into the bios to look around. I will check the jumpers on the board and continue to mess around with it. I would appreciate any feedback I can get. Thx again.

Great problems with K7N2G-ILSR onboard raid controller

I have really great problems with my s-ata raid controller. First of all i had a 40GB HDD attached to IDE3. Worked really fine.
Later on my system crashed and my raid controller seemed to be dead. (no "no array is defined" no "press crtl-f to enter setup,...).
Then I attached a s-ata drive to the first s-ata interface. Suddenly the raid controller said: "no array is defined, press ctrl-f to enter setup". I entered setup an built an array an restarted my computer. Again: "No array is defined, press crtl-f to enter setup."
Now my raid controller seems to be dead again cause it doesnt say a word again.
Please help me if you can. (Besides i tried to solve the problem with updating my bios. I tried all versions from v1.0 to v1.3 but there was no result.)

I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

Onboard video on msi 6378 version 3

Basically i have this motherboard and the onboard video is obviously not capable of playing any game made in the last 2 years! A while back i had to buy a pci geforce vid card to try and beast the pc up a bit. I know your not supposed to be able to disable the onboard video on this mobo but after lots of messing around i somehow managed to get the pci card working and just disabled the onboard in windows control panel.
That was months ago now and just the other day i took the card out again because there were some dodgy display defects. now im trying to put the card back in again but with no luck at all. the monitor gets no signal at all and i cant remember how i first managed it now. can anyone help at all?! any suggestions would be much appreciated!
cheers

tried resetting the cmos by removing the mobo battery for bout 30 secs but still no monitor signal from the pci vid card. any others suggestions?

K7N2G-ILSR: On-board video too unstable to use

Putting together a new computer for my son. Using K7N2G-ILSR and was really looking forward to the onboard video. Using Athlon XP 2100 (from my prior machine -- 100 percent solid CPU) and initially bought Corsair 2700 256MB with the new board. As an immediate downer, the board refused to work with the memory (nonstop beeping/D-LED stuff, etc.) at power up (tried all slots -- same result). Observation: this compares very unfavorably with my highly-favorable experience with Soyo boards, by the way. Swapped out that memory with Kingston 2700 256MB from my daughter's machine, which is running Soyo Dragon Lite.
Ok, so after some immediate (and unnecessary) memory hassle, got system to boot. CPU is running fine and cool at 50 deg C.
Next (BIG, BIG) problem: Onboard Video is WAY, WAY too unstable in Windows 2000 to be usable. At the outset, the video is showing random horizontal streaks (of trash) across the screen. The only time I've seen that before in my 15 years of PC use is in a Diamond video card a long time ago that was also defective. However, I can live with streaks. The problem is that the machine crashes every time, 100 percent of the time, within 15-90 seconds of booting into Windows 2000 (SP3). (Of course, used latest video driver from a web site, different settings, different refresh rates, and all the other usual stuff, etc., etc., etc.) By the way, I had the patience to try this with and without SP3, and tried a zillon different bios settings. Nothing worked -- same immediate crash problem. Also booted into safe mode and same deal -- but at least that confirms that the problem is probably underlying hardware-related problem, not software/driver problem. (If it can't run under generic Windows VGA driver, then it probably can't run under anything else.)
Only solution is to swap in an existing AGP card. That solves the problem 100 percent but I am not exactly happy camper since I paid for the on-board video (and for budget reasons the card that I am swapping in is not exactly cutting-edge.)
If anyone has a silver bullet fix for this, I would love to hear it. Otherwise, I will assume that the onboard AGP is defective and/or poorly designed, whereupon I would have been better off not spending the extra money for it. My best guess is that the memory and/or other video circuitry is defective.
Otherwise, happy with the underlying performance of the motherboard itself but the video fiasco is a BIG letdown. :O
Thanks.

SILVER BULLET FOUND!!! (and it was free) BIG, BIG, BIG cigar to Bikeman for his above post, which focused my attention on the BIOS. Had considered it at the outset, but figured there was no way I was going to need to flash a brand spanking new board. But when you read the BIOS update notes, one of its fixes is with Kingston memory which is currently in the board. Recall from above, however, that Kingston was a fallback as board complained bitterly about the Corsair memory that I bought with the board. (My daugher's Dragon Lite is quite happy with either memory.)
So here's the rundown. Actually couldn't see what bios ver. I had at POST as text went by way too fast. So install live update software which confirmed that I had older v. 1.2 bios. (Interestingly, the live update itself was old enough that it itself had to self-update before I could use). Flashed BIOS to 1.3 using the Windows version of update, which I will report worked real smooth.
Rebooted and proceeded to install fresh nVidia driver from nVidia website. However, I can tell you that the BIOS was definitely the problem because before I wouldn't have been able to easily get to the point of installing video driver without 5-10 crash/reboot cycles -- so the new-found stability made it very clear that the BIOS update was the "silver bullet" I was looking for.
Postscript impressions: (1) MSI boards are VERY finiky about memory (which is a problem that I have never had with Soyo boards), and (2) this is the 2nd MSI board I have bought and the 2nd one that has had severe bios issues. The first board was a low-end A socket board with AMI bios that arrived faulty/trashed -- half way thru POST, bios would start spitting out garbage ASCII characters.
Again thanks again to Bikeman for saving me from spending any more money (on psu or other memory) and for letting my son's system now run 8X AGP.

K7N2G onboard video anygood?

Looking into building a budget system for another daughter,
She isn't a heavy gamer, mostly internet.
is the onboard video suficient?
Going to use Mushkin Blue 3200. memory should be OK Huh?

hi
im using the onboard graphics and it works great.
i can play need for speed 6 hot pursuit 2 and GTA3 and return to castle wolfenstein without trouble.
BUT you cant use ddr400 at full speed with the internal graphics core.
its limited to ddr333 but i do belive you can use very aggressive timings if you put in a ddr400 and run it at ddr333 speed but im not sure.
it is very easy to run it at 333.
only choose fsb / dram ratio 4:5 if you have a fsb of 266
and 1:1 if you have fsb 333
ddr400 = 3200
ddr333 = 2700
and because amd using dual technology in there cpu the fsb is doubled.
133 is actually 266
166 is actually 333
and 200 is 400
there is a topic about memory.check it out
called
Good Memory Choices for K7N2G- IL and ILSR Board
i think that was all you need to know.
happy building

K7n2g-ilsr does not POST

I have been working on my machine all day to no avail. I have:
- K7N2G-ILSR
- 2-Crucial.com 512 MB 3200 DDR RAM Chips
- AMD Athlon XP 2600+ pocessor (333 FSB)
First of all this machine was running well for the last 4 months. I rebooted XP today and the problems as stated below started.
The Smart LEDS show:
RG R=Red, G=Green
RR
Whenever I try to boot my system I have no post happening (no beep no video out). If I remove all of my RAM I get some system beeps (good). If I have one chip or the other in any slot nothing happens and if both chips are in nothing happens.
I have cleared the CMOS (J11 set to 2-3, J10 removed, JBAT1 set to 2-3 and then back to 1-2)....still no response.
I have tested the RAM and processor in another machine and they work fine.
Please give any pointers.

I have a brand new K7N2 Delta-L and it also does nothing when I turn it on, the D-Led bracket shows the same error every time.....red, green, on top and red, red, on bottom. I look in the Mb manual and it says its a memory error. I was replacing an asus a7v-266 MB with this new MSI K7N2 so I could get a new 2500+ Barton and I wanted the board, cpu and ram to run at the same speed (333mhz), the computer ran fine with the asus board. Once I switched boards I got the memory error on powerup. I have 2, 512 meg sticks of PC 2700 Ram that I know work. I only have an AMD 1.1 T-Bird on the board now until I get the 2500+ this week. I figured I would change the board and get the computer running again until I got the new cpu. If I put the old board back in with the same ram, cpu, HD, it runs. As soon as I put the MSi board back in, it doesnt run. I set the J10 and J11 jumpers to 100 (safe mode) because thats what the 1.1 runs at, the Cmos clearing jumper was also set correctly from the factory. I have tried it with each stick of ram in, 2 in, 2 different video cards, 2 Hd's, with cd-rom hooked up, without it hooked up. I get nothing on bootup, not even beeps.
I tried removing the battery and jumping the Cmos clearing jumper and leaving it for a few minutes but still same result. I also dont get a signal to turn on my monitor either, as if the video wasnt working either. Thats why I tried 2 vid cards.
I have no idea whats wrong, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dual Video Issue with "K7N2G-ILSR"

Hello,
I have an MSI "K7N2G-ILSR" motherboard with the built in video. I am having trouble getting the motherboard to work with two monitors by using the video that is on-board and an additional AGP video card. When we plug-in the additional AGP video the built on video stops working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

So I can use the on-board video and my second video has to be PCI and not AGP or I can get a dual video card?
Correct.
Take Care,
Richard

K7N2G-ILSR Sometimes boots, sometimes not.

I have a feeling I'm stuck with this, but maybe there's a eureka-moment I've missed? Having looked through the forum I've seen similar problems but I'm not sure this is the same.
Problem is with a K7N2G-ILSR that 70% fails to boot (RAM error), 10% boots with half RAM, and 20% boots OK. Full system spec:
=====================================================
K7N2G-ILSR (0304082234) (BIOS v1.6)
Athlon-XP 2600+ (2.083GHz)
2 * 512MB PC2700 (slots 2 & 3) (RAM branded "MV")
2 * Seagate Barracuda 7200/8 160GB S-ATA hard drives (mirrored)
Samsung floppy
Panasonic SW-9581-C DVD-writer (IDE2 master)
PS/2 kb & mouse
Antec Lanboy case (comes with Antec SmartBlue 350W PSU)
Antec SmartBlue max load details:
+5V - 35A
-5V - 0.5A
+12V - 16A
-12V - 0.8A
+3.3V - 28A
+5VSB - 2.0A
+5V & +3.3V max combined output: 230W
+5V & +3.3V & +12V max combined output: 330W
Cooling:
AKASA 824cu-RED (copper base, 8cm fan) (into 4pin from PSU)
AKASA GREEN LED 8CM CRYSTAL FAN (into 4pin from PSU)
All 4 MSI brackets are plugged in.
No AGP or PCI cards.
CPU idles at 30C, sustained load at 40C.
=====================================================
I've tried all the CMOS reset, battery in/out etc suggestions with no change in symptoms.
Disconnecting HDs, DVD and front fan make no difference. BIOS v1.2, 3, 4, 5, 6 make no difference.
This is the 2nd motherboard... the first one (rest of system unchanged) worked great as far as booting went but had the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING HIGH-PITCHED NOISE from near the CPU socket. This was after running with the auxillary 12V (4 pin) cable plugged in. According to posts elsewhere in the forum, once that 12V cable has been used you can't get rid of the noise... so this time I have carefully *not* used it. Please don't tell me that the lack of it is why the current system is having problems! La-lah-LA-la-LAH I don't want to know :o)
To get the system to boot I do this (from OFF):
Turn on with front power button.
If memory error (beep and LED pattern):
turn off with front power button
count to ten and start again
If only half RAM on POST screen:
turn off with front power button
count to ten and start again
Otherwise dual channel msg comes up and we have lift-off!
I've tried other rituals (power cable, PSU switch, CMOS reset...) but the result's always the same.
When the system boots properly (1 time in 5) it's great... Win2k is happy and CPU/memory intensive apps are solid. But a Windows restart (or aven Ctrl-Alt-Del after a floppy boot) puts us right back to the problem: 1 time in 5 it'll restart happily, otherwise it's the damned beep-beep-beep!
RAM: yes, it's a brand I'd never heard of but they do seem to be a batch pair. As noted above, both DIMMs were OK in the first K7N2G-ILSR. They're also fine in a Shuttle SN41G2. So I'm a bit sceptical about the veracity of the RAM-error beeps!
So peeps, if you've read this far, any ideas what's causing me (re)boot hell? I think I'd just live with it but for one thing... I really need for this system to be remotely bootable (VNC and a Windows restart req)... hardly likely to work is it?!

wonkanoby: tried the pencil rubber thing but, sadly, no joy.
buggfix: I hear what you say and it is very tempting to plug the aux 12V in. I've got another K7N2G-ILSR in an Antec Plus 1080AMG case (Antec True430 PSU) with the 12V plugged in and no noise (yet). (But it does have a Win2k-srv memory-leak problem and that's why I'm desperate to get the system described at the top of this thread working - essentially a duplicate to let me test installation order.) The noisy board was older (going by s/n) so maybe it was a batch problem and I'd be safe enough now?
0303234967 - noise
0304036761 - OK in Antec 1080
0304082234 - this thread's subject
Now wishing I hadn't tried to make such a low component-count server; shoud've stuck with basic board + NIC + SND + VID cards.
twistedbrowntucker: Possibly there was some follow-on damage, but it doesn't "feel" right. Still, now I'm reduced to the "known good" dance. If I can get the time tomorrow I'm going to break up a Shuttle (SN41G2, XP2600+, 2*512MB, 200GB Maxtor, LG DVDwriter, card reader) and see if I can pinpoint anything... swapping the RAM is number 1 obviously! Then the CPU and then maybe rip apart another PC or two for PSUs... I feel tired already!
My gig is normally software so, although I'm quite happy with hardware, I resent getting bogged down. Usually paying a bit extra for known-brands keeps me out of that - hey, I want to *use* the stuff!
Thanks for your replies peeps.
ASIDE: Question about the HD LED - I'm getting zero activity... should the S-ATA drives be showing up? Or the DVD activity?

K7N2G ILSR not booting, unlike any other in forums! (I think!)

I have a:
K7N2G ILSR
XP 2400+ cpu
2 x 512mb (Onyx) PC2700
old 10gig HDD
When I boot it flashes past the award bios screen so fast I can hardly see it, then reports an error (to do with active flash or something?) and that there is no bios installed. This warning has something to do with "promise" at the top of the screen. This screen is only up for a second or less, so sorry about the vague info!
After this, it changes to a screen where it lists the IRQs for everything, then comes up with a disk I/O error...
Am I being a dumbass?
Thanks in advance
P

thanks v much for the quick reply!!
HDD is a Fujitsu I think (am at work right now!) about 4 or 5 years old, on IDE 1 (using 80 conductor cable that came with m/b), set as master with no slaves. Jumpered on back to be master.
DVDrom is on IDE2 as master.
no jumpers have been changed, so its set as 133 fsb, and sound is not redirected to front panels.
cheers

K7n2g ILSR and SPDIF output not working

just got a new k7n2g ILSR mobo and cant get the coaxial spdif output to work.
Have attached the s bracket connector and a coaxial cable from that to my videologic digitheatre. My speakers don't seem to be receiving any signal however. Checked the audio settings on the nforce control panel and all seems sweet. any suggestions?
Thanks for any replies

I have the very same problem. I thought that the S-Bracket was defected so I borrowed one from a friend of mine. We have the very same board and we bought it the very same day. And it did not work either. :(
Then I made a little test. The user's manual displays the pin layout of the S-Bracket connector on the mobo so I connected two little wires to the appropriate connectors and connected the wires to a standard RCA connector. Then I connected this to my receiver's coax port and it worked!
So it seems to me that the S-Bbracket was (and IS) defected. Then I thought that my friend and I had the same faulty series of S-Bracket but now I don't know what to think...

K7N2G-ILSR COMPATABILITY WITH NEW HARDDRIVES/video agp cards?

will the K7N2G-ILSR work with the new SATA WD 74G Raptors? Also will this board support the 300G Diamond Max or the Hitachi 400G PATA OR SATA? also would like to know if anyone used a 9800 AIW or the new X800 XT AIW on this board. would appreciate the input before I purchase. Thanks in advance.

Sorry guys I didnt explain that I am a "techie" (my fault) and yes the Pwr supply is a no brainer for the AIW alone, a cool master 500 watt is already on the list as well as plextor newest dvd dual layer, an upgrade to one gig o ram, and a barton core 333fsb 3000+ xp. I am just looking for actual "hands on" testing of the hardware on this board. I have already done the research on the specs and what should work but for someone to already have experienced it first hand and report thier findings would be a great plus. and yes I have the most current bios from MSI (2.0)

MSI K8M890M2-V Onboard Video Resolution Question

Can anyone tell me if the onboard video section can handle 1152x864 @ 85Hz
TIA!!

I bought this mobo anyway ... The answer to my own question is no, it can't.

Camcorder video error: "Unable to record. Resolution not supported by memory card."

We purchased two Samsung Droid Charges the first day they were released and recently they've both been getting this error after 8-15 seconds of recording in HD (1280x720): "Warning: Unable to record. Resolution not supported by memory card."
Called Verizon tech support, but they referred me to Samsung. Not knowing much about micro SDHC cards, I was alarmed to discover that the factory pre-installed 32gb card is only rated class 2 for speed. Samsung told me you need a minimum of speed class 4 or higher to record at this resolution. The only problem is you need an SD card installed in order to use the camcorder, period. In other words, all of us who payed an arm and a leg for the best phone Verizon sells now have to go buy our own micro sd card that actually supports all of the phone features as advertised?! The lowest prices I've seen for the faster cards are $70. Are we the only two Charge owners experiencing this problem? I've read somewhere that lower speed class cards may initially support faster speeds than they are rated until they accumulate more files, so the problem may go undetected for some time until you have more files that are stored in different locations on the card (making them difficult to access at the faster speeds). This may explain why are the first ones to get this error since we've had the phones the longest and only 50% free space remaining on the SD card. Oh, Samsung also said they won't be able to replace your card for one that has the proper speed rating. Kind of seems like false advertising to say a feature is available (HD camcorder), and then not mention the fact that the memory card provided isn't sufficient for that feature (separate upgrade required). Anyone else sharing the same frustrations? Ideas?

Thanks for the response. I've tried everything on that page. It's not an issue with the cable, or firewire port or the cable being connected properly, as the iSight camera works fine with iChat. I've disconnected the only other firewire device on the computer, didn't make any difference. Camera works fine in iChat, so it's not the camera itself. And, as I mentioned in the post, the same camera, if hooked up to my laptop, works just fine recording in QuickTime. So, it appears to be an issue with the QuickTime installation on this computer. I've done a search for the same error I'm getting and found some other occurrences with the same problems, but none that offered a solution.

MSI K7N2G-ILSR will not boot from CD!!!

40 GB Maxtor HD (IDE1 Master)
HP 9100i CDRW (IDE2 Master)
AMD XP 1800+
512 Megs PC2100 DDR
I cannot get this thing to boot from a CD for the life of me. I have tried using 4 different CD drives. I have tried both IDE channels. I have ran both drives jumperless.
Bios recognises the drive. I have Floppy, CDROM, HDD1 as the boot sequence. I have tried switching the boot sequence around.
I am completely stumped and extremely frustrated. Somebody, please help me. ANY advice would be appreciated, let's get this problem solved!

thanks for pointing that out!
the jumpers were in the wrong place. i should have read the manual more in depth instead of being in a hurry. i feel like such an idiot!
everything seems to be running fine. time will tell i guess.
