K7T TURBO and GeForce 4600

Hello all,
I am having trouble trying to put together my K7T TURBO MS 6330 with an ASUS V8460 (Ti 4600 Ultra Deluxe).
Specifically, I just replaced my old Oxygen card with the GeForce 4 one, and as soon as I installed the SmartDoctor 2 utility, I got the message (in red flashing text) :
" Your VGA card voltage 1.5 is out of safe bound. Motherboard doesn't supply with reliable
1.5 voltage.
Please contact with motherboard manufacturer for help."
(I've allready sent an email to MSI support, and still waiting.)
Furthermore, I've been experiencing sudden crashes (i.e. when I am using 3d applications) followed by a blue screen reporting an error message about a file that seems to belong to SmartDoctor folder.
I've read that ASUS vga cards are rather demanding as for power and voltage. Anyway, I'd like to ask everyone in the forum, if there is a safe and reliable way for the
K7T TURBO and the Ti 4600 to work together, perhaps with a motherboard BIOS update (I am still using ver. 2.7 since there was no need to flash it till now) or something...or maybe it would be a better thing to do, to install on my machine an MSI 4200 8x AGP card that is available, instead... or ... go back to my oxygen thingie... :(
My PSU is 420 Watt, and my cpu is Athlon 1200 with 768 mb ram.
Well, I just hope someone could help...
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I forced my AGP bus to x2 a couple of minutes ago, and now I got a message from Smart(...) Doctor that my voltage is out of 3.3 V bound etc.. and a blue screen reporting UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP (?).So, the situation is not improved...
I also put my sound card to another PCI slot, but I still had no luck at all. The thing is that unfortunately I have IRQ 11 being used by 6(!) devices: my gfx card, my scsi controller, my soundblaster, 2 VIA USB controllers and Microsoft ACPI Compliant System.Not very nice indeed.
I wonder if updating the motherboard's BIOS would do any good; btw, mine is ver.2.7, while the latest is 3.6 (!), but since I was ok till now, why bother flash it?
For the time being, I am not able to run 3D Mark 2k1 beyond benchmark #3, since it stops, leaving me on the desktop, while whenever I run Maya, winamp 3 and ACDSEE 4 simultaneously,after a while I get the blue screen of death, saying something about anvioctl.sys file - a SmartDoctor file hiding into system32/drivers. ?(

K7T Turbo and Windows XP shutdown issues

I have just finished building a machine and installing Windows XP. When I choose "shutdown" from the "start" (whose idea was that anyway?) menu it gets to the screen that says "It is now safe to turn off your computer" (or something to that effect) but all the system fans are still running. How do I get the system to shutdown completely?
The configuration:
MS Windows XP Professional with SP1 and ALL updates from windowsupdate.com
No other software installed (except for the drivers needed for the M/B)
MSI K7T Turbo with the latest BIOS from MSI's site
AMD 1400 Thunderbird w/PAL 8045 heatsink and fan
512 PC133 SDRAM
WD 40Gb HDD (set as master on IDE1)
Sony CD-RW (set as master on IDE2)
GeForce 2 MX 64Mb video
3Com 3c905 10/100 NIC
Integrated sound
Generic Modem
Generic floppy drive
I am going to be giving this system to my mother to use and want to make sure that it will turn off when she hits shutdown.
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you enabled ACPI?

Blank screen after installing K7T turbo and AMD 2000+ chip

Hello, I got a problem, can anyone help me figure this out.
Currently I changed my old motherboard and replaced it with a K7t Turbo2 Motherboard and I also bought a AMD Xp 2000+ processor chip to go with it.
After installation, I encountered numberous problems like:
1. The computer will only turn on and off by the power source box at the back of the computer.
2. The reset button doesn't reset the computer at all.
3. I keep getting a blue screen when entering windows xp (forgot what the message said, but said something like, it did that to help windows or something).
Anyways after that, I formatted the hard drive. Re-installed it with Windows XP. Once the installation was completed, it automatically reset, the computer. BUT insatead it just gave a blank black screen while the computer is still on(I can tell because I can still hear the heat sink fan blowing).
Next, I turned the power switch (on the back) off and on again. The computer did successfully booted and it brought me to the windows xp's Window. I then logged off from windows and now I have this problem:
When turning the computer back on, the computer will boot up, then a few seconds later (about 3 to 5 seconds) the computer will shut right off.
Any questions or answers will be great appreciated.

HI. What version bios are you running? If its 3.0, you need to update your bios in order to run the 2000XP. Are you sure that your case wires for the switches are in the right place? One way you might try to test the psu, is to close jumper j17, This will make the cpu run at 100fsb. If it boots ok at 100 fsb, Then your power supply is probably the culprit.With j17 open, the cpu runs at full power,133fsb, and it takes more power to run. BIGDADDY51 CT.USA J17 is located just under the memory slots. edit: you mean power off and on by power supply switch? This is normal. Then you should be able to push the case switch and have the computer restart.Check your case wires again.

K7t turbo won't boot with xp1800+

I'm tyring to do an upgrade from my 1.4 tbird to a xp1800+ palomino. I have 2 sticks of pc133 crucial ram and a 300W sparkle psu. I've been running at 133 the entire time i've had the 1.4 cpu.
the bios will detect the 1800+ fine, but the computer always reboots when it gets to the "Starting windows xp" screen
what could be the problem?

Hi
I have also bought a new cpu (XP1800+) for my K7T Turbo and the day before I upgraded the cpu I updated the bios from 3.2 to 3.6
Then I upgraded the cpu, and have a lot of trouble!
The machine stops all kinds of places, it is very hard/tricky to turn it on, some times I need to restart it serveral times.
The led displays (D-LED) comes with different failure from stopping at early chipset initialization to testing vga bios and initializing keyboard controller.
I found that the default VCore is not the 1.750V as required by the XP1800+ and that the motherboard only supports VCore = 1.700V, set this by manual.
Then remember to remove the jumper on the board to work with cpu's at 133FSB.
These things helped me a lot, but my machine was still very unstable.
I have now downgraded my BIOS to ver. 3.2 and testet it for one day, and have not experienced any kind of problem, except that it does not recognize my cpu as a XP1800+ but runs at 1533 MHz
I think, that theres a bug in the BIOS ver. 3.6 for the motherboard! ??
This is also showed by the problems did'nt stop when I changed my cpu back to the old TB1000, and had the same problems as with the XP1800+
So my advise:
- set the VCore manually
- remove the jumper
- downgrade your bios
I have plans to upgrade my bios 0.1 version at a time, until it becomes unstable, and then go 0.1 version back.
Im writing a new thread on this subject to, where I will also write about my experince about the bios upgrades.
Good Luck!
Regards

K7T Turbo LE and problems with IRQ routing Win98SE

When I boot my machine (AMD 1600+ on an MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition), the BIOS reports me the following:
SiS6326 AGP card: NA (no IRQ even if I enable "Assign IRQ to VGA" in BIOS, but that's not my problem)
Startech NIC in slot 2: IRQ 11
D-Link DFE-538 TX in slot 3: IRQ 10
Echo Mia soundcard in slot 4: IRQ 5
Onboard Promise ATA100 controller: IRQ 11
2x USB controllers Via 3038: IRQ 3 for each one
IDE controllers: IRQ 14 and 15
In "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager", there's one big difference:
The two USB controllers (Via 3038 PCI to USB) are on IRQ 10!!! The only way for Via USB controllers to be on their real good one IRQ (3) is to completely disable "IRQ Steering" in "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - System Devices - PCI Bus".
To resolve this, I tried:
- different Via 4 in 1 (4.32, 4.35, 4.36): no changes
- Via IRQ miniport uninstalled: no changes
- Enable "PnP OS" and "ACPI" in the BIOS: no changes
- Tried all the combinations in "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - System Devices - PCI Bus - IRQ Steering" (except disabling IRQ Steering because like I said, it resolves the bug. Though, I want IRQ Steering to be enabled AND the bug resolved).
So, if anyone have a clue, it will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Just thought that I would let you know that I have the same troubles with no IRQ being assigned by the BIOS and due to this I am having troubles getting a DUAL monitor set up running!

K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition and USB

After doing whatever research I could in these forums, I really couldn't find solid answer so I'm posting my questions.
I have recently ordered a new case for my K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition (it's the red one) which has additional USB connections in the front of the case.
Am I going to be able to connect the board to the case so I can use those USB slots?

Hi Gregthos,
I remember there was something with these connections - I think they will only work with the bracket and for the PC2PC connection ...
There is at least 1 thread on this in the forum ... here

K7T Turbo Limited Ed. and problems :(

Hallo
I have MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition mobo (on KT133A). Yesterday something strange happened. I was surfing the net and suddenly my PC rebooted. After reboot I saw that in BIOS test, BIOS didin't detect my hard drives connected to first controller. CD-ROM and CD-RW were properly detected on the second controller.
I turn the PC off....waited about 30 seconds and turn it on. And everything was fine again. But in a short time it happened again. But now I heard something strange. I heard that both drives are stopping...slow down wnd stop. After a 1-2 sec. windows XP freezed and PC rebooted again :( And again there was no drives detected on first controller :(
I checked:
1. viruses - system is clean. I checked it with NAV2003 (within windows and dos - from bootable disc)
2. I tried to plug those 2 drives (15 GB Caviar and 15 GB Fujitsu) to the second controler (first was empty).
I asked some friends about it and one said that it could be power supply (maybe there is some instability or something).
Someone else told me that it could be a battery on the mobo (I have has this mobo for 2 years).
Or maybe it is a problem with motherboard? Maybe controller is damged....but...from the other hand when I restar the PC everythin works fine....some time :(
System: AMD XP1700+ (not overclocked), mobo as I said above, Radeon 8500, CD-ROM and CD-RW (pluged to second controller), Caviar 15 GB and Fujitsu (pluggeg do first controller), Windows XP with SP1.
I had no problems with that system befere.

Hi
I must check the type of that battery...but from the other hand if the battery was the problem it wouldn't keep all BIOS settings. Am I right? But it keeps.
Power supply is 300W - it is a kind off no-name (I bouhgt it with case 3 months ago and there was no problems befere :( )
I've already borrowed one - I'll check it later today (after work).

New duron 1300s and K7T Turbo 2

The only 200mhz FSB chips available from AMD seem to be duron 1300s. They are using this huge die, it looks like a palomino die.
When installed into a K7T Turbo 2 board they are detected as "Uknown CPU Type 1500+". Other then that they work just fine, they run at 1300mhz.
Is there going to be a BIOS update that will correctly identify these chips as duron 1300s?

I have a Duron 1300 on the same board....
But it's a 100FSB CPU and shows correctly....
Maybe you need to close J17?
As for a new BIOS, don't count to much on that....

Welp fixed other problem by installing XP with cpu cache off and then turned back on when finished. Everything seemed to work fine all up to the point when I tried to start playing games. First game "quake 3" works fine aslong as im constantly moving intill I have to leave it on untouched for a min or so. Then it locks up or freezes and all I see is a black screen. In starcraft it will let me play for a good 2 minutes and then the screen freezes. Last game I tried was black and white that let me play for a good 4 mins then everytime i tried again the time it took to lock up got shorter and shorter. Ive installed new bios and via chipset drivers and still nothing.
Anybody got any other ideas I can try ????????????

well I didnt think I needed to since I was using a PCI card. I guess Ill go ahead and try. As for my power source im going to list everything it says cause i dont know a thing about them.
model: atx-350-12v
max output is 350w

HELP using AMD 1800+ (Thoroughbred) in K7T Turbo Ltd Ed

Sigh. I correctly remembered that the XP1800 was the fastest that the K7T Turbo Limited Edition could handle, so I picked one up.
Got it home, and determined that I got a Thoroughbred (model 8) rather than a Palomino (model 6) and the compatibility chart say "No"
I have been looking at the specs for the two models, and can't see why it shouldn't work. Has anyone got any further information?
Thanks so much!
Paul Birnbaum

But I had seen that page previously, and except for the 1.75/1.60 Core Voltage values (and the K7T Ltd Ed supports both those values) there seems to be no difference.
So there's still no definitive answer as to why the board would support the Palomino and not the T-Bred (which looks way like a typo for the old T-Bird!)
I did note that the BIOS values available for CPU Vio are 3.3v and 3.45v...so possibly that's it. I can't find a CPU Vio spec for either chip. Or possibly, it's just that the board doesn't recognize the CPUID.
Anyway, thanks...

Usb & msi k7t turbo

hello i've problem with instaling usb controler on my msi k7t turbo limited edition and win Xp .
system recognize usb controler but there is a message -- " There is a failure during instaling usb controler , abnormal data "
what should I do ?

Hi,
I have not seen this problem before....
Did you install extra USB controllers or are we talking about the on-board controllers???

K7T Turbo-R (6330 v3) & Athlon XP 1800 Problem

My current system is a K7T Turbo-R that I've had for a couple of years now. During this time, I've used an Athlon T-Bird 1.33GHz processor without any issues - very stable (I can probably count on one hand the number of lock-ups). The power supply is a 300W Antec.
I decided to upgrade the CPU. I checked the CPU support status and found that the highest I could use with this board is an Athlon XP 1800+ Palomino, which is what I purchased (code on the core is AX1800DMT3C).
After removing the TBird and installing the XP (along with a new CPU cooler), the system won't post at all, and all 4 LEDs are red. :O
I reinstalled the TBird (along with the same new cooler) and all is fine again. Figuring I had simply received a bum CPU, I tested the same XP 1800 on another system (a Soltek PurpleRay) and found that the CPU was fine.
Note: The BIOS is at v3.6 and J17 is open.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

This reply is for Mustang (a bit late maybe )
The description of your problem indicates one or more failing capacitors on your motherboard. Check out this link for some example pictures of what that looks like:
http://www.careyholzman.com/caps/thumbnails.html
The reason i'm thinking about this is that i replaced 6 dead capacitors on my own K7T turbo last weekend. 4 of the 4700uF/6.3V ones had died (around the CPU socket), and both of the 2700uF/6.3V ones near the AGP slot. My system was showing the EXACT same symptom you are having. It would not boot after powering on with the power button, but a reset helped (this is at 1000 MHz, at 1333 MHz resetting did not help). This also explains why your old processor works fine, but the new one doesnt. Your PSU/power regulator combo is able to provide a stable enough voltage to the old processor with it's low power consumption. But with the new more power-hungy processor those big capacitors (which help stabilizing the voltage supplied to the processor) are missed :/
Apparently a Taiwanese capacitor producer supplied a large number of faulty capacitors to motherboard producers like msi,asus, abit, etc. More info in here: (and lots of other sites too)

Hope this is indeed your problem, and that you can fix it

K7T Turbo & CPU upgrade

Oops, is this the right spot for this post ? Anyway...
I have a MSI K7T Turbo Version 3.0 Limited Edition motherboard,without RAID.
(yes I know it's old)
The AMD Athlon processor (1.1Ghz) got fried and I want to replace it. The board is fantasic and I want to upgrade the processor. What AMD processors can I use in this board ?
The manual says 1.3Ghz maximum. I have seen on websites it will take up to 1.8Ghz. Is this true ?
I have also seen it will only take Athlon, or Palamino.
Someone else told me it will take the 1.33 GHz Thoroughbred processor , or some low Athlon XPs like XP1800+.... Help !
Can anyone please clarify for me ?
I want to put the maximum size processor in that will run with stability....
ps. I have upgraded my cooling system !

K7T Turbo LE - Windows XP Pro SP-1 is not detecting my CD ROM drive I used to install XP Pro !!!!!!!

This is an XP driver issue that I'm not sure how to resolve.
This is a brand new K7T Turbo (MS-6330) Limited Edition motherboard (red-colored board, not green), Ver. 3 (no RAID controller on-board)
PSU is 400w (I tried another PSU, same issue)
Athlon 850MHz socket-A
CD-ROM drive - Yamaha CDR2100E 16x10x40 UDMA-1
The BIOS is 3.6, updated prior to Windows XP's installation
The VIA 4-in-1 drivers were updated with the latest available on MSI's website for the 6330
2 hard drives installed on the primary controller - one set to master, one set to slave
CD-ROM drive is the only device on the secondary controller, set to master with no slave, and is plugged-into the end IDE cable connector
The board detects the cd drive, and I even installed Windows XP Pro WITH this cd-rom drive, installed as currently configured, which is what pisses me off. I've installed XP four times today, try different things between installs, and nothing. The drive works FINE outside of XP, but as soon as XP starts, the drive disappears and XP doesn't even detect it. Also, while booting up, the start screen will lock up (activity bar freezes and hard drive activity stops) for about ten seconds (but everything's hooked-up right... I'm not a PC rookie!).
HELP! Please oh please help!!!! I'm getting aggravated!
Thanks!

you're posting this all over the place aren't you??
have you tried flashing the yamaha firmware? remember the link i gave you?
have you tried a windows repair using the method i gave you?
