K7T Turbo MS-6330 Won't turn on.

I have just put in a new K7T Turbo Socket A with the VIA 133?A chipset. I turn on the power to the PS and nothing else happens. No lights on the motherboard, no fan spinning, completely nothing. Installed new PS, Checked power switch leads and have power to the switch. CPU is a T-Bird 1.23gHz 266 FSB. Cannot figure out what is wrong. I have three of the same motherboards recently ordered in. All are doing the same thing in the same case and hardware.

The computer originally had an FIC mainboard. It worked but kept throwing currupted files. The whole system got zapped by an electrical surge when the curcuit breaker was thrown on at the business. I have the switched plugged into the power switch header. There is voltage in the + side. Haven't tried a new CPU yet.

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.

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 (MS-6330) motherboard no longer boots up

For the last 8 months my PC has been working perfectly. However for the last few weeks the PC has refused to shut down correctly...the operating system shuts down, and all the drives shut down, but there is just a cursor left flashing in the top left corner of the screen. The only way to completely shut down was to pull out the power plug and put it back in again. Then everything would stay off until I next powered up.
However today, the computer will not boot up at all. When I put the mains power in, all the fans and the hard drives immediately power up, and the D-LEDs light up with 4 red lights. Then when I press the power button the computer tries to start up, the top two LEDs flicker, and it stops with the LEDs at GREEN-RED-GREEN-RED from top to bottom. Can you please advise me what the problem is likely to be.

It was the earlier version of the 6330 boards that had the regulator problem The K7TPRO2 and PRO2A. I think that by the time the TURBO series came out, MSI had fixed the regulator problem. The symptoms included, not being to shutdown ,unless you shut off or unplugged the PC. Other symptoms included 4 red leds and random loss of video. You could actually feel the regulator, and it would be hot to the touch.Maybe you could search the archives for the thread" How long before your pro2a dies?". There is some excellent info in that thread that may help.You might try to lower fsb to 100 by replacing the j17 jumper ,this sometimes will show a bad supply by booting up at the lower fsb. edit:the board should have a 2 year warranty from MSI so if its bad, you may be able to RMA it .

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?

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. ?(

6330 K7T Turbo Limited Ed. Problem

I bought a brand new 6330 K7T Turbo Limited Edition.
It shuts down by itself within 10 minutes (sometimes even within 5 sec.).
The temperature protection in the BIOS has been turned off and I've upgrade to
the latest BIOS (V3.5). I tried unplugging everything except the powersupply,
memory, K/B, Mouse and video card. But it does the samething. Please Help. Thanks.
CPU: AMD Athelon 1.1 Ghz
RAM: Kingston PC-133 128MB
Video Card: ATI Xpert 2000 (Rage 128 Pro)
400 W power supply. (Known good)

It shut down completely.
I didn't even have any HDD connected. (M/B, RAM, CPU, Video Card, Cooling FAN, K/B & Mouse only) I'm sure the PSU is good because I'm using it now (so as the other accessories). the PSU is 400 W, 30A@5V, [email protected]
I tried 3 different brands of video cards, 2 brands of memory modules. They all did the same thing.

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
Ronni

Droid Turbo won't turn on

Plugged my phone into the charger last night and woke up this morning and it won't turn on. I plugfed it into the turbocharger this morning and let it charge a bit and it still won't turn on. Anyone have any ideas?

Try clearing the cache and see if that helps:
Clear Cache Partition
Sorry ... I just re-read your post and it looks like you've already tried that, right?

K7T Turbo2 ver5.0 won\'t reboot

I just recently bought a K7T Turbo2 (MS-6330) motherboard and I'm having a problem with it rebooting. I can't get the board to do a warm reboot. It works fine if I turn off the power and then turn it back on but even changing the BIOS settings won't allow it to reboot. I'm building this computer for someone and I will not give them a computer that won't reboot!!! I've tried to contact MSI techinical support and they have never answered me (through E-mail). I've read some other posts (in other forums) about problems with the EXACT same thing happening due to a chipset problem (KT133A) If anyone has had this problem or knows a solution please respond. here are my Spec:
K7T Turbo2 ver5.0
AMD Athlon 1200MHz (200MHz) CPU
AMD (Cooler Master) provided CPU Cooler
Matrox G400 Graphics card
2 x 64MB Crucial PC-133 Memory
P.S. I've tried other (known good) memory and graphics cards and I still have the same problem.

Well after waiting two weeks to get my replacement back from MSI I got another bad board. I haven't talked to their tech support about it yet but I think I'm going to get a different board from another manufacturer. In addition I'm going to make to STOP suggesting anymore MSI motherboards and I will definitely not choose them for my upcoming System upgrade. Just for reference.
The new board will not even POST. Or turn on for that matter. I checked all the jumpers. Unplugged everything else from the board except video, memory and processor (all proven good by another system).
I'm sick of playing with this company and I have a computer to build for someone. They just lost a formerly loyal customer. I'm not spending my money to ship it back again.
P.S.
I assume whoever sent back a KT333 motherboard and left the manual and D-Bracket in the box is going to be upset because they shipped my motherboard back in that box with the manual and the D-Bracket inside. May as well let things bounce around in the box during shipping the BOARD WAS DEAD ANYWAY!!!!!!!

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

K7T Turbo LE IDE problem?

Hi,
I'm stuck here. I have an AMD Athlon 1400/266 (T-bird) running on the K7T Turbo Limited Edition mainboard, BIOS version 3.6. 512 MB PC133 SDRAM. 2 Maxtor HD's. My system is about 2 years old.
In the last 2 months, the following has started to happen:
Occasionally (say, 1 out of 10 attempts), my PC won't boot (DISK_BOOT_FAILURE). I know this in advance because when it happens, it gives two short beeps when powered up (can't find the meaning of them :O ).
The problem is: sometimes the Primary Master is gone ("none"), but other times, it's the primary slave. In that case, the PC will boot but behaves very strange once WinXP is started. And sometimes, both master and slave show up as "None" ?(
The optical drives on IDE2 are detected at all times.
D-Bracket is all green. I reseated the IDE cable with no result. Tested both the Maxtor HD's, no errors.
So, what now? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dennis

Just came back from my holiday so I ran some more tests.
First, I checked the drives one at a time using the PowerMax utility. 81GB slave is fine (tested alone).
40GB master is fine 9 out of 10, 10th time it says "Please Perform extended diagnostics" and then it reports "Congratulations, your drive passed all tests!"
A little weird....
Looks like failing drive, but could this also be IDE controller communication failure?
I also tried replacing the 80pin IDE cable with a 40pin cable which is brand new. This makes no difference other than slower system speed.
Maxtor website has no info, MSI same story.
Now what??? ;(

K7T Turbo D-Bracket USB connector?

Please I need some help.
I have a K7T Turbo Limited Edition Motherboard 6330 V.30 . It came with the P2P USB Bracket and the D-Bracket.
I can only find one place on the motherboard for a USB connector, how am I supposed to install these? Is there a mismarked motherboard pinout?
My Motherboard manual says it has a connectors for 6 USB ports.
I have 2 near the PS2 connectors built in, the D-Bracket has 2, the P2P has 2 which = 6, but I can't find a place to plug the brackets into the motherboard.
I would appreciate any help in the matter at all
Neoghost

Hi
According to the MSI site for the K7T Turbo Limited Edition, your motherboard only supports 4 USB connections.
You can use a USB PCI card to obtain more if needed.

K7T Turbo CPU upgrade problem

I've got a ms-6330 K7T Turbo limited edition board. I've been running a 900mhz Duron for years in this board with no problems. I recently bought an XP1800+ (palomino). I upgraded to the newest version BIOS, changed the jumper for the 133 FSB and installed the CPU. The first power-up it hung on the post screen. After that, I got nothing. The D-led shows it is hanging at processor initialization. Put my Duron back in and it works fine.
I bought the processor off Ebay and realize this may be my problem. But it was from a reputable seller. Is there something else I could try before trying to contact the seller for a replacement? I wish I had another socket A board to try it in, but I don't.

Are you 100% sure you recieved a Palomino core?
You can refer to this chart, and compare the CPU to the pictures, to verify that it is a palomino core.
Also, insure the the heatsink is properly seated, as they will fit the wrong way, but will not make good contact with the CPU.
Did you use fresh thermal grease on the heatsink?
PC133 is required to use a 133FSB.
Try clearing the CMOS, and see if that will allow it to boot.

MSI K7T Turbo Limited Ed. + XP1700+

Hi
I would like to know if my mainboard (MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition on KT133A) supports XP1700+ 0,13 processor?
I've already read on this site that it doesn't :( but from the other hand I've heard that some people have those Xp1700+ on the same boards and everythings works fine (with bios ver. 3.6).
So...will it work or not? XP1700+ 0,18 works perfect.
Regards

Hi, it may work but there is no official support for it.

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).
