K7T Pro 266 (Ver. 1.0) with a XP 2200+ Processor

I tried using a amd xp 2200+ processor with a k7t pro 266 mainboard, as soon as i installed the 2200 processor, all i got was red lights (=Something is wrong with the processor). So I took the 2200+ out and installed a 1400+, which was working fine up to then.
Still, the 4 red lights remained.
Since then, I have tried everything. Resetting the CMOS, taking everthing off my mainboard except the processor, then except processor and ram. I even bought a new Processor!
Still: 4 red lights.
I have no Idea what to do and i don not want to buy a new mainboard.
Please help me
Greetings, Mike

Check if there's anything stuck inside the socket and also look for bent pins on the CPU.
Check for bad caps too.

K7T Pro 2 thermal issue, other than cpu

PLEASE EXCUSE NEW TO FORUM!!!
TRYING TO HELP A FRIEND FROM TOTAL UPGRADE!!!
SHE HAS A SYSTEMAX WITH THIS MB AND ATHLON 1000.
NEVER BEEN TWEAKED FROM FACTORY SETTINGS, STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT CRASH PROBLEM 5-6 MONTHS AGO. I DETERMINED IT TO BE A THERMAL PROBLEM, AS IT WOULD RUN LONGER WITH THE SIDE COVER OFF, AND AFTER CRASH, WOULD REBOOT AND SEEM TO RUN, BUT NOT AS LONG.
I INSTALLED A NEW VOLCANO 7, USING ARTIC SILVER, BEING VERY CAREFUL, AND MAKING SURE OF PROPER INSTALLATION.
ALL PROBLEMS SEEMED TO BE REPAIRED, AND BEEN RUNNING FINE FOR LAST 3-4 MONTHS. NOW THAT SUMMER IS ARRIVING AGAIN IN ARIZONA, AND AMBIENT TEMPS ARE 80+ , IT HAS STARTED TO CRASH AGAIN. I'VE DOUBLE CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS, CPU FAN SEEMS TO BE REGULATING SPEED FINE(VARIABLE), BIOS CAN BURN ALL DAY AND NEVER GO OVER 40 DEG. CEL.
AS BEFORE, REMOVING THE SIDE PANEL SEEMS TO ALLOW BETTER AIR FLOW, THEREFORE WILL SEEM TO BE OK, AT LEAST FOR A LONGER PERIOD.THE CPU FAN RUNS BETWEEN 3600-COLD TO ONLY ABOUT 4100 AT MOST HOT, AND CASE FAN AVERAGE 2700, NOT SURE ABOUT POWER SUPPLY FAN SPEED, BUT SEEMS TO BE DRAWING PLENTY OF AIR.
WHEN I "FEEL AROUND INSIDE" WHILE RUNNING, THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY EXCESS HEAT BUILD UP IN PROCESSOR AREA.
I NOTICE SYSTEMAX USES IT'S OWN VERSION OF AWARD BIOS, AND WONDER IF MSI AWARD BIOS FOR THIS BOARD CAN BE USED, AS MOST BIOS FEATURES ARE DISSABLED BY SYSTEMAX. I ALSO WONDER IS SYTEMAX MIGHT OVER CLOCK FROM FACTORY CAUSING THIS ISSUE.
I ALSO WONDER IF SOME OTHER COMPONENT IN THE MB MIGHT BE HEATING UP EXCESSIVELY, TO CAUSE A SUDDEN CRASH.
MB:K7T PRO 2 VER:1
CPU:AMD ATHLON 1000
GPU:TNT2 64
RAM:128MB PC133
SB:SOUND BLASTER LIVE
OS:WINDOWS ME
BIOS:AWARD 6.0
PS:NO BLUE SCREENS, WINDOWS SEEMS OK, WHEN IT CRASHES, SCREEN JUST GOES BLACK, BOTH INDICATORS FOR CPU AND HARD DRIVE STAY LIT (FRONT OF CASE), ALMOST ACTS LIKE IN STANDBY, BUT HAVE TO HIT POWER BUTTON TO RESTART

THANX FOR RESPONSE, UNFORTUNATLY THIS IS A BTO FROM SYSTEMAX, AND IT'S ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS PAST THE 2 YEARS, AND SYSTEMAX WANTS A SMALL FORTUNE FOR SUPPORT AFTER THE FACT, AND WOULDN'T YA KNOW IT, MY FRIEND SAYS IT STARTED THIS ABOUT A WEEK PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD!!!!
I GUESS I KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, JUST FIGURED THIS TO BE A GOOD PLACE TO PICK SOME BRAINS, AND CONFIRM THAT I'M NOT JUST TOO HIGH TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!!! I MIGHT BE AN OLD DOG, BUT I STILL LEARN A FEW NEW TRICKS, WHEN POSSIBLE. I HAVE PRETTY WELL DECIDED THE MB TO BE THE CULPRIT, IT JUST BOTHERS ME WHEN I CAN'T PINPOINT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, AS NO MATTER WHAT PROBLEMS I MIGHT FIND, I LIKE TO FIND SOLUTIONS....JUST TOO DAMN CONVENIENT TO REPLACE PARTS, MORE FUN TO TRACK DOWN A SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS!!! :D

Compatibility of Duron 1.2Ghz with K7T Pro 2-A

Hi, can anyone tell me if Duron 1.2Ghz can be used on my motherboard which is an MSI K7T Pro 2-A? My manual which comes with the mb gives contrasting information to the one supplied on the website. Will the cpu spoil if it is used on an uncompatible board?

duron no thundebird with 100 fsb yes,not the 133 fsb as it only shows as 900

K7T Pro with 1.2 Athlon

I currently have a K7T Pro with BOIS version 1.2. I was wondering if I placed a 1.2 Athlon with 266FBS into my K7T Pro if it will work. I know I will have to update my BIOS to a newer version. I just figured that this specific Athlon would just run at 200FBS instead of 266FBS, but I could be wrong. Please help..............
p.s.- the reason why i want an athlon with a 266FBS is when i get a new motherboard i won't have to buy a new processor.

It should work, you just underclock your CPU, so you wont get everything out of it.

Problem with K7T Pro (MS-6330)

I've been used MSI K7T Pro (MS-6330) for 2 years and it worked just fine. But recently the problem occurred. After I've upgraded CPU from Duron 600 to TB 1.2 GHz, when I run a heavy-loaded application such as 3DMark, 3D games (UT2003) my computer will stop working (IMO: my case just like the classic K7T Pro) but when I touched the SC1155 chip, it just warm (it won't burn my finger). So I'm confused that is my mobo defected or not?
Oh, almost forgot .. my mobo was modified and can adjust multiplier.
FYI:
I've tried underclock CPU to 950 MHz and I've found that 950 work fine (or at least it use very long time to run full-loaded and then die). Once I forgot to plugged electric-cable for my heatsink fan and temp goes 66-68C and still working normally (not running 3D app.)
So, can anyone suggest me what is the problem with my mobo?
Thank you very much and apologize for my language :P
My Spec:
AMD Athlon (TB) 1.2 GHz (but now run @950MHz) VCore 1.55 (tried 1.55-1.85 result is the same)

Hi,
RMA the board, contact your nearest MSI office and ask for the RMA department.
There is not much more you can do.

MSI K7T Pro 2-a

Alright, I have an MSI K7T Pro 2-a (not 266) and I need to see if anyone has had this problem before. The board started giving me this crazy error about the floppy drive so I ordered a new bios for it. Now it will post video fine, but 10 - 15 seconds after post it will just crash. I have tried a number of CPU's (duron 700, duron 1.1, tbird 600, tbird 1.0) and they all do the same thing. My next step is to get an RMA and just send the board in, but I figured Id see if the forum could help before I went through all the trouble.
Thanks,
Dmcanally

never really seen a trend with that board

K7T Pro 2-A damaging CPUs

I have the most strange problem ever.
My MSI K7T Pro 2-A is damaging the CPUs I install for some unknown reason. The mobo has been rock stable for more than a year and a half and I think it is of excellent quality. About 15 days ago the PC froze while downloading a file under Win XP Pro, and then I had to shutdown. When I turned it on again, it makes 1 beep like everything was normal but the video signal was lost. Later, after many tries with different hardware I discovered that my Athlon 1 Ghz was burned; the strange thing is that doesn't had any external signs of burning, the surface was perfect. It was installed with a very good cooler (TITAN TTC-MT1AB) so temperature problems where discarded. Then I bought a new Duron 1.1 Ghz and installed it without problems. The BIOS installed was version 3.41. I flashed succesfully the same day I installed the new CPU to the BIOS last version (3.5) and it ran succesfully for about a week. Today, same story, the Duron was gone this time. My friend told me that maybe there is a sort of incompatibility with the new BIOS, but I refuse to believe it. Apparently the PSU is fine and I see no signs of a damaged capacitor or something like that in the mobo. We have absolutely no clue of what may be causing this; My technician friend tried to boot a Duron 700 Mhz and posted OK, but the new Duron don't posted anymore, after installing it on an older KT7 Pro 2, so I guess is damaged too. Any suggestion will be apreciated, as we try to isolate this problem. I will see if we use a electronic tester. If the PSU is the culprit, I don't understand how it doesn't burned the motherboard already, and if it is the mobo, I don't understand how a processor is running very stable for a week and then dyes. Any advice? I don't want to burn another CPU. ;(

Hi,
The motherboard isn't frieing CPU's, I'm pretty sure the old CPU is fine too....
RMA the board to MSI, as it happens on some boards and they need to be repaired.
Contact your dealer or your nearest MSI Quarters on what to do.
MSI warrants the board for 2 years, so that shouldn't be a problem.

K7T Pro (MS-6330)

I have a k7t pro and I want to get an athlon xp 1500+ in it. I know its not going to use the full potential of the processor but it is cheaper than an amd athlon 1.2 tbird.
I was running an amd x 1800+ on it before because i got it in a pulled system for free. it worked fine but will a 1500+ work stabily?

Dear Assaf !
'Since the K7T Pro only supports 200MHz FSB an AXP 1500+ (1333MHz) will only run at 1000MHz.'
This is true if you don't modify the processor.
On the other hand if you unlock the processor (paint the L1-bridges), paint/cut the L10 bridges and change the multiplier, then you can run the CPU at it's full speed.
I am currently running a XP1800+ (1533MHz) on a K7T Pro2 board with 102MHz FSB and a mult. of 16 (8 in BIOS +8 by CPU) at 1.63 GHz.

K7T Pro and GeForce2 Ultra

I Probably haven't searched enough but I would like to know what you think. I purchased a GeForce2 Ultra 64mg for cheap. With the age of my board I would think it would work. The fan fires up but I have no output from the card. Is it a voltage issue? I remember something about this.
800mhz T-Bird
K7T Pro ver1:0
128mg Ram
TNT Riva 16mg
100mg (2 drives)
250 watt sparkle psu

Voltages are right on. I changed first display to agp but my little tnt card is agp and all works fine. Drivers aren't the issue as when I fire it up my monitor stays in standby. The other thing that happens is I get 4 red leds on my board. I thought that was cpu related. I get no trouble beeps. I'm going to take it to a local shop to test today. I'll post results. Thanks

Windows 2000 (SP3) crashes on K7T Pro

Hi
I have a this configuration:
K7T Pro (BIOS 3.6)
Athlon 1200
256 Ram pc 133
Geforce 3 ti200 detonator 40.71
hdd 20gb maxtor
Windows 2000 with SP3
directx 8.1
4in1 drivers
the problem is windows hangs and the 4 back leds turn all green on any application and more specially on games like quake 3, i want to know if its caused by some drivers? or do i need to install a patch for windows 2000 that fixes some AMD issues or mobo problems?
help would be apreciated

Sure you can Install a lv application manually. just copy the exe-file,
support files in a folder. For the runtimeengine just copy the file
lvrte.dll in the folder of your application or in the windows system folder.
Hope that helps, Niko

K7T Pro-RU-2 Geforce 3 ti 500 crash

My system keeps crashing and rebooting frequently, sometimes as much as 3 times in an hour.
My configuration is:
K7T Pro-2 RU
AMD Athlon XP 1900+
Antec TruePower 550W PSU
Crucial DDR PC2100 RAM 512MB (1 module)
Visiontek Geforce 3 Ti 500
Realtek 10/100 NIC PCI
USR Hardware PCI 56k modem
Latest Nvidia Drivers and VIA 4in1
I have tried updating the BIOS but it failed twice and locked up. Had to reflash it with old BIOS.
Also I have no crashes or reboots if I install my old GeForce 256. Temperature doesnt seem to be a factor its 51C with Geforce 256 and 47C with Geforce 3 ti 500.
Any help or info would be appreciated.

It still crashes even if the video card is the only card in. But it still works on my old PC with all my same PCI cards only difference is VIA 100, Athlon 500.
It names Nvidia GeForce Ti 500 driver nvdisp. Its an infinite loop error.
I just hope to find some solution that wont cost to much.
