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.

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

Msi k7t pro MS 6330 - best graphic card

hello gentlemen
As announce subject I am k7t pro ver1 owner. Nowadays the MB is provided with riva tnt2 model 64 - yeah it is old one. I would like to change the graphic card, up to the good one. So is there any graphic card you know may be recommend? Some VGA x4, having best technical parameters to the mainboard?
Kongo

thanks for reply
sure, I do not intend play newest games, anyway I wish to play hitmanII, or III and IGI-2 - some ! The MB I have is retired. Max CPU to the MB is 1.2G Athlon - and I fited out with it (1.2 Athlon). Power suply is powerful 350W of good make; also 448 sdr sdram is going to be. I just do not know if Geforce 4 will be suported by the MB. AGP port is 4x only.
Man, did I well anderstand you? You mean that if I plug in 8x graphic card the system wil be stable? Ex. MSI GForce 4 Titanium 4200 128DDR? And will work fine on the MB?
Anyway I wish to plug in as good as possible (or something about) graphic card... so are there any suggestion ?

K7T Pro-2 U rev 1 turn off after 20secs.

Hi,
Houston, i got a problem!
My computer has always been working fine for at least 13month, period of first use of my motherboard and CPU.
Well, 2 weeks ago, i got this first crap, screen turned off and all devices too, just the motherboard was running, thus i shutdown and re-turn on my computer--> nothing and 4 red LED.
CPU dead? i guess no 'cause, i plug off my PowerSupply cable and re-plug it in, the system's running while 20-30seconds and shutdown but fan's still running, though if i reboot it, i got 4 red disgnostic's LEDs, and i just have to plug in/off PS cable to reboot system which will finally shutdown after 20-30seconds....
I try to change some parts: memory, gfx card, therm' paste, plug off all devices --> no chance
Anyway about Therm' paste, i first used silver grease, but during 10month i haven't gotten any problems, i changed sliver grease for thermal paste now, but problem stills.
My box:
MSI K7T Pro-2 U rev 1
Duron 1,2 Ghz
392 SDRAM PC 133
Geforce 2 MX
cheers
ps: sorry for my english, it's not my first language.

oh no, this is not this kind of traces, it's lighter and really fine, maybe it was just a layer of dust.
Anyway, capacitors don't seem defect.
Well i repeat to be sure :
i can boot my computer, the detection cycle pass but during boot 20-30sec later, screen/devices turns off but fans still running.
if i reboot, i get 4 Red LED thus i have to plug off my cable from wall and re-plug it in to have the possibilty to redo boot detection until it crashs 20 sec later .
Thus the MB can turn on, i see bootsequence and even linuxboot on my screen.
I have disconnected my HD because when i boot on it with "Trend Antivirus" enabled from BIOS, it shouts: "Boot virus detected, type ENTER for ..etc..etc.."
Nevertheless, even with no devices enabled except Dvd for booting with a LinuxLive i go to the wall after 30sec
CPU is well detected
Memory also (3x128) i tried several combos and other memory
About PSU, i haven't opened it yet even if i have doubt about its culpability.
cheers and really thank you!

K7T Pro - boot problems - suggestions

Hey,
I've been searching this forum for a few hours now trying to sort a problem for a friend of mine. Maybe I'm overlooking something. Please feel free to give me any tips/suggestions!
computer specs:
MSI K7T Pro with AMD 1333 processor
2 x 128 mb
GeForce 2
problems:
system doesn't boot, d-led is red, green, red, red
siren like sound
what i want to do:
* check capacitors for leakage
* do c-mos clear (what to do, to achiev this?)
* replace battery with new one
Any other suggestions?
Thanx in advance!
Hobbes

The better way to get help is to give a full spec of PC includding Power source's details (Amps to 3.3v 5v 12v ) What is memory brand ? Hope is not Crucial. 8)

K7t pro 2a Memory prob

System setup:
K7T-Pro 2-a MS 6330 (not the Turbo)
Duron 950
768MB PC133 SDRAM
Geforce 32mb
Machine was running perfectly. Then I bought a new 512 mb stick of RAM. Installed it and the machine ran fine. I had 2x512mb of pc133 and 1x128mb pc133.Then it just rebooted on me as i was surfin the net. I got an error that said BIOS not fully ACPI compliant. THis happened about 3 times then I took the new ram out and set my machine up the way it was before. Now the machine cannot get past the windows starting up screen. It just keeps rebooting. It posts a blue screen with an error in the upper left side but I cant read it as the error disappears too fast. I have tried to push pause but to no avail. I have tried to set the ram to pc100, messed with other BIOS settings, etc but nothing is working. I dont understand why when i have taken the new ram out and have the computer set as it was before it will not work. I have read the trouble shooting guide and the MSI FAQ but nothing has worked. Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.

If you're usnig Windows 95/98/ME, you need to set the vcache a big amount so the memory left for Win9x is below 512MB. Try http://support.microsoft.com for more info.

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 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.

Were is the temp sensor on a k7t pro MS-6330

i have a k7t pro MS-6330 and would like to know were to "system" or "case" temp sensor is as i wana make sure it is not reading falesly (hiden behind a ribon cable etc (may be the msi H/G coul help)
cos i needed to know the anserw
( i've looked for it but dont even know what to look for ? )
please help someone!

An Athlon XP could run in your board but it would only run at about 75% of it's clock speed due to the fact your board doesn't support 266MHz FSB.
Officially you should only use a Duron1300 or old Athlon 1400/200 if you could still find one.
A 250w PSU could limit you depending on the rest of your hardware and the exact model/ratings of this PSU.

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

Win XP & K7T Pro 2

MSI K7T Pro 2-A
AMD Duron 700
PSU 300W
256 Ram (133)
3d Prophet II Mx
AOC monitor 7Vlr
here's the problem:
My computer freezes very frequently. (when running outlook Express, IE6, or any kind of software...)
2 things can happen then:
- a blue screen appears telling most of the time: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (but not every time) and physical memory is emptied. then I can reboot my computer with a reset.
- monitor screen suddenly become black but computer is still running and I can stop it only by switching off the power supply. nothing else works.
I noticed also that many programms crashed with no specific raison. (music player, internet explorer, etc)
What is weird is I have Win XP running with no problem during 6 months and one day all these things happened .
I have downloaded all the latest drivers, flashed the Bios, tried with different material. (tried different ram)
I brought the computer back to my vendor and they told that the PSU was dead so they changed it but I'm still having troubles ...

yes I read many threads on the forum about this problem.
at least cool to see I'm not the only one to have this problem..
However I can't see anything wrong when watching on my mother board.
I checked temperature and it stays between 35°C & 39°C.
Cooler seems to have a normal speed.
But the fact is now my computer is crashing after 10-15 minutes.
BTW what about the latest MSI mobos? any problem detected?
and if I want to keep my AMD Duron processor which mobo should I choose?

Another Macbook Pro black screen GeForce 8600M question

Hey everyone,
I know this has been discussed to death, but I have had trouble finding someone with my exact symptoms, so I thought I'd ask just in case anyone has any insight.
I have a 2007 Macbook Pro with the GeForce 8600m chip. The computer boots up and the gray Apple loading screen illuminates and loads. Then when the screen would normally switch to the desktop, it goes black. I can plug in an external display and the computer works fine. In the "About this mac" window, no internal display shows, just the external. Same with the Displays pane in System Preferences. I try to detect displays but to no avail, only the Cinema display shows up.
So the computer works fine, it just does not recognize the internal display - but I know the display itself works cause it shows the boot screen when I start it up.
I've tried all the PRAM resets and such.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

At this point, you have basically diagnosed the issues as far as you can by determining what does and doesn't happen on the external display. If you have your original system disks, one has Apple Hardware Test (AHT). That might pick up a failed inverter but I doubt it picks up a failed backlight or a broken cable.
I don't know if you can run AHT with an external monitor. The test boots from the DVD so you may not have extensions needed to fire up the external. You can try--just make sure your external is set to "mirrored mode," not "extended desktop," before restarting from the DVD and you have a chance of it working.
AHT will give you a cryptic code if something fails; post the code and I can try to translate.
If AHT doesn't further narrow the suspects, you'll need to have it looked at by a pro to get anywhere, unless you are comfortable taking apart something loaded with tiny and delicate electronic bits. If so, tell me your screen size and I can point you to some illustrated maintenance sites.
