K7T Turbo2 - CD ROM not responding

Hello, and welcome to my blundering efforts. After reformatting with a fresh instal of Win98 I installed the VIAHyperion4in1453v.exe chipset drivers and immediately lost my CD ROM. Device manager sez it is there and working properly. Any attempts to use it have resulted in "L: is not accessible. Device is not ready." Now I wish I knew what the four options are in the 4in1 installer, I just checked them all, more the better right?
One clue - In the device manager there is a DMA checkbox in Properties>Settings>Options for the CD ROM. DMA was something I checked when the 4in1 installer was installing.
(Hint: I do not know what DMA is.)
I have tried removing the CD ROM via device manager but upon restarting I did not see the OS detect it and add it again.
Anything else I should be looking for?
Brandon

hey, thanks Wonkanoby. Worked like a charm. May the force be with you.
Next question!
The graphics card details on the k7t turbo2 page say:
AGP Specification Compliant
Supports AGP 2.o 1x/2x/4x
I would like to maximize my graphics card power but I dont want to pay for more than I can use. Does anyone have suggestions as to which card will do this for me or where a good place to ask is?

K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 Will not boot up

Can someone help, I have a K7T Turbo2 MS-6330, and it will not boot up, I know I have power to my MB, becasue when I plug it in, the lights on my DIMM chips light up, and my fan spins for about 1/2 second. I don't know what to check next. Any assistance would be appreciated.
THANKS...

First of all, write what hardware other than mobo you have: cpu, power supply, graphics, memory, etc.
also, read troubleshooting guide:

Take care

K7T Turbo2 Will Not Boot

I just purchased a K7T Turbo2 w/ an Athlon 1Ghz CPU for a client. The system will not POST. I just get a Red-Green-Green-Red LED Readout.
According to the manual, this means that the processor is not initializing.
I have tried different RAM, a different Video Card, taken the board out of the case, and everything else I can think of.
I don't have another processor to test with, so before I borrow one, I was wondering if it would be the processor, or if it would be the MB.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with a KT3 Ultra2. I took it back, got another, and SAME THING! This is whats happenin'.
One power supply would not turn anything on, plain and simple. The other power supply I had would power the board, but the power would come on after flipping the back black switch. No POST, no front panel buttons working, no g4mx440 bios, no speaker beeps at all. The LED pattern I had (at powerup) was R-R-G-G : init. hard drive controller. Doesn't make sense to me.
I'm stumped. I'm using a Duron 1gHz and a Samsung DDR 128MB stick. (the CPU and AGP card's fans also come on with the power.) X( Help would be great.

AGP 4x not working k7t turbo2

I've tried everything to get this to work. I updated my BIOS, VIA 4in1 drivers, I've tried the latest Nvidia drivers but rolled them back due to incompatability with my Tnt2, but nothing works. I searched this forum and found a regedit solution, the values it wanted me to edit were already in 4x mode but it is still reported in 2x mode. SANDRA reports that my Motherboard doesnt support 4x, but it says on the MSI site that it supports 4x and in the BIOS it has an option to enable 4x (which is enabled). I've done everything i can think of to fix this, tried several video cards, all run at 2x. The only thing I can thnk of that is lacking is my Power supply because its 250 W but how could that force 2x mode?
K7t Turbo2
AMD Duron 1200 100 mhz FSB
895 Mb Sdram
TNT2 m64
250 W Power supply

I've done several reinstalls of windows and all have the same problem. Rivatuner says my agp bus only supports 1x/2x but is agp 2.0 which is 4x as well. Hope this is of some help.

K7T TURBO2 DOES NOT SUPPORT HIGH DENSITY RAM

X(
It took three weeks of digging, but I finally found out why my MS6330 v5.0 continues to crash when I try to play games on it.
Despite what MSI says about this board supporting the AMD ATHLON XP 2100+, the K7T TURBO2 does not. In fact, AMD doesn't recommend any motherboard that uses 168 pin ram for use with processors XP 2100+ and above.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed with MSI. I've built my entire system around this motherboard, I bought a gig-and-a-half of PC-133 ram for this computer!
If I hadn't done any homework, and just went out and blindly bought components and hoped it would work, well then I would deserve to have a junk system. However, that is not the case here! I read (before I bought anything) MSI's compatability charts, and I'm well within the parameters stated there.
I just thought that I'd let any potential buyers know this info, so they can save themselves some grief. This seemed to be a very mysterious situation in my previous posts, I have a hard time believing that this forum has never seen problems with this configuation before.

Here is a link to NCP's website:
http://www.hexon.com.sg/hexon_tech/products/desktop_sdram.asp
Also, you should know that I LOVE working with my computer's hardware and other technical components. I don't often find myself with this level of frustration when doing these kind of procedures. Using a methodical step-by-step approach and keeping documentation of these steps usually uncovers the inherent problems of building your own system in a matter of a few hours, perhaps even days... but not months.
As you have suggested, I have, of course started with a barebones system (1 ram, lots, of fans, default bios, 1 hdd-fdd-cdrom) and these problems do not go away, even with the most basic settings.
This is what I've determined by using my AMD Tbird 1.4 CPU on the same motherboard, with the FSB jumper back in: The motherboard is not defective. I can run everything that I'd like to with this different CPU in. Whether the problems I'm seeing with the XP 2100+ are caused by changing the FSB to 133 or not, I'm not certain. However, changing the cpu and the FSB are the only changes that need to be made to see these problems return.
By the way, I can overclock the hell out of my CPU and get my computer to boot too. It just doesn't solve the problems I'm having, so I don't bother -- yet
I've tried a different video card, and I get the same trouble.
I've tried my ram in another system (one at a time and all together) and run memtest86 on it for 25 hours. No trouble there.
My PSU serves up 220 Watts across the 3.3v and 5v outputs. This seems sufficient.
I have a total of 9 high output fans in this system, and my CPU runs at a balmy 56 C while running the distributed.net client. ( I ran it overnight, with no problems)
Obviously, this is a graphics related problem, and adjusting texture detail directly affects the amount of time that passes before the game hangs or crashes. Less is more, if you know what I mean
I've read that this is a known issue with older VIA chipsets. The article was a little dated though, about 18 months ago.
If there is anything that I'm missing, please let me know.
I'll write more details later, if you'd like to help me troubleshoot this problem.

K7T Turbo2 MOBO not supporting processor

Hey all,
Just bought a bunch of new hardware here:
Athlon XP 2100+
MSI K7T Turbo2 MOBO
(plus other stuff that doesn't matter right now...)
My problem is, the BIOS is only reading the processor as being a 1500+ when it boots. The BIOS is the most recent version, everything's up to date, I can't figure out what's going on... ?(
Also, on top of that, I have no sound from the MOBO. It's enabled in the BIOS (onboard sound), and I've attempted to install the VIA AC97 Drivers multiple times, but everytime I try it says, "VIA AC97 PCI Sound is not enabled in the BIOS - please enable it and run the installation again." But like I said, it's already enabled.
Anyone have ANY ideas as to what's goin on? Hopefully the MOBO isn't pooched and there's something we can do about this...
Thanks,
Chad

But it's not even the jumper that's causing the problem - I upped the FSB to 132 MHz (the highest it would allow with J17 still on), and left the multiplier at default (whatever that may be), and the processor is now being recognized as an Athlon XP 2100+. However, when I change the multiplier to 13, which should be the correct setting for a 2100+, the computer refuses to boot, whether the jumper's on or off. In fact, if I set the multiplier to ANY number, the computer refuses to boot. It's only when I leave it on Default that it will boot.
Also, after I removed the jumper and did the above fix, my sound started working... but only for a few minutes. Then the computer crashed and it refuses to work again.
Any other suggestions?
Chad

K7T TURBO2 not detecting either HD (both WD)

Here's my problem...
I start my computer and it will not load Windows because it does not detect a bootable drive.
My motherboard detects both CDROM drives but does not detect either hard drive. I have the jumper settings on the HD's correct (Master - end of IDE cable, Slave - middle of IDE cable), plugged into IDE Slot 1 (using IDE cable). I've tried the following:
Setting all available jumper settings (Master/Slave)
Using only 1 HD at a time set to Master (removed other HD off cable)
Remove IDE2 (attached to CDROM drives) cable... MB detected no drives(!)
Using a different IDE cable (in case other one was bad).
The BIOS displays the correct CPU speed, RAM and CDROM drives, but it will not detect either HD. I am almost positive that I have everything setup correctly, I've successfully built my own system half a dozen times. It just seems that there is a setting or jumper somewhere that I'm missing (I removed the J17 jumper).
Could the problem lie elsewhere and the result is what I'm seeing with no detection of my HD's? It doesn't seem like my RAM would be the problem, as the system boots up fine, detects all attached RAM, but doesn't detect a bootable drive.
Here's my system...
MB: K7T TURBO2
HD#1: WD Caviar AC310200 (10GB) UATA/66
HD#2: WD Caviar WB300BB (30GB) UATA/100
CDROM#1: Samsung 52x
CDROM#2: TDK 48/24/48 CDR/W
FLOPPY: Generic 1.44 3.5'''
CPU: Athlon XP 1500 (Good heatsink/fan)
RAM: 256 PC133 (Generic)/128 PC133 (Crucial)/128 PC133 (Crucial) = 512 PC133 Total
VIDEO: Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT
SOUND: None (using built-in on MB)
NIC: D-Link 10/100
PSU: 400W COMPUSA Brand
One last note...
I used all of this hardware (MINUS THE K7T MB) in a previous system and everything worked fine together. My previous MB was a K7S5A and the reason I replaced it with the K7T TURBO2 is because I wanted a better board with more features.
I hope I've given enough details to my problem. I appreciate any help given, thank you and if you have any questions for me, I'll be checking this post often so ask away! THANKS AGAIN!!
- Aaron

I'm very close to buying another board, but the problem is, there are no other boards at my computer store that I can use. If there were I'd try one of them in a heartbeat.
I guess I could buy another board online, but my job is dependant upon my computer working, I can't wait a week while a new motherboard is shipped to me.
I know the problem is not with my board because this is the second K7T I've tried and both gave me the same error. The problem must be with a setting/jumper/other hardware component.
I've tried every Jumper combination possible, still no detection.
The exact error when my BIOS attempts to find a bootable drive (a HD to load Windows) is:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

K7T Turbo2 does not select the correct speed for Athlon XP 2600+

I’ve tried many different combinations of multipliers and FSB, nothing works.
The Bios is AW 3.6 which is the latest and greatest.
At boot-up I get processor unknown @ 1533
According to the specs at MSI this MB should handle AMD Athlon 2600+
I’ve email MSI but so far haven’t received any help.
What am I missing?
Win XP Pro SP1
768 mb SDRAM 133
K7t Turbo2 MS-6330

Thanks Wonkanoby, I bet you're right. I just bought a new MB & RAM, SOG, I didn't need to mess with things, my system was runnig just fine. Now I'm $240 in the hole.

T42p CD-ROM/DVD not responding

Hello All!
My CD/DVD is not responding when I insert a disc. It's showing up in the files section but it's not reading or playing anything.
Is this a driver issue or hardware issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If it is the same CD drive that worked in the same T42p before and you haven't recently flashed the drive or your BIOS or other critical file system driver in Windows.....
your drive is going out. BUT, TAKE A $4 can of compressed air and blast out anything that comes off and do so until clean.
Next, carefully and gently slide back and forth a few times the reader assembly, it is theapparatus typically parked at the cneter spindle and can be carefully hand worked since older drives may be dry of adequate grease to keep the tracks responsive.
If the drive is just stuck, it would spit errors at the OS and may relay to the end user or not.
If that drive didn't come with that PC and never worked before, then conduct the research with respetive model numbers since drives can be flashed and the possibilities and combinations are endless to describe here.v
Don't just sit there, take a second and use the Kudo's button to compliment the people who help you.

K7T Turbo2 sound not working

The serial number for this board is:
MB VIA KT133A/5p3d K7T Turbo2 MSI
I upgraded my sister's computer for her thinking I was doing her a favor. Anyway.. to make a really long story short... I live in Georgia and my sister lives in Boston. I bought all the pieces (including this mobo I mentioned up above) and a new tower and put it all together. Before I mailed it up to her I hooked it up to my monitor and my boston acoustic desktop speakers. It worked beautiful... no problems. I mailed it out to her and she hooked it all up and she has no sound. I made sure she had it plugged into correct port in the back, and from what she told me she does. I had her go into the sound settings and make sure nothing was muted and nothing was. I even had her go into the device manager to see if there were any conflicts.. and there were no exclamation marks indicating any conflicts.
I thought at first that maybe it was disabled, but that can't be the case since it worked just fine when I hooked it up to my monitor and speakers. Does anyone have any ideas??? She is calling me almost everyday to see if I found out anything and I feel bad, but at the same time she is driving me up the wall nagging me about it. I need to fix it and it's going to be difficult considering I am over 1000 miles away. If I at least had some trouble shooting ideas, I might be able to walk her through it. I would truly appreciate any help.

1) make sure she has the speakers plugged into the right plug in the motherboard
2)make sure she has the power turned 'on' on the speakers

I already tried swapping out everrything from video to sound, etc, those tricks DO NOT WORK. Already tried using various settings in the bios, already tried mem timings, setting agp to 4x, or 2x, auto, manual and EA, etc... nothing seems work...
The only thing that DOES work, is disabling the internal cpu cache..why? BEATS ME?!? After its done loading hte main stuff, Im going to reinable it and see how it goes.. im tired of problems, I like the mobo, but Was having problems from the get go installing xp.. im reinstalling it now, since i was getting errors like irq_not less, that thingy there, and then stuff like ntfs error on a bsod, etc. Installed the 4 in 1's, 442's then 443's, didnt work...psu isnt really an issue, has 220 tco, and runs fine, hard drive is not damaged, neither are the other optical drivers, and im just at my wits end.. this is really starting to tick me off..
emailed msi tech support, nothing back yet... can someone PLEAES HELP!?!? What bios settings should i use for xp pro installs and stuff?? lemme know! Thanks!!! And should i REALLY reinstall service pack 1? any thoughts on this??

WEll shite, now i gotta kill 98, cause now IT aint even working...... this board sucks! Im having more problems than a ECS mobo on a good day.

K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it. I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations? I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso. I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine. I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP). I have BIOS 3.6. I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work? Will it never work no matter what I do?
I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings.
Any suggestions? (thanks in advance)

If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

K7T Turbo2 and new Athlon 1700

Hello!
I have a K7T Turbo 2 motherboard with an AMD Duron 1200, which ran fine. I recently purchased AN AMD Athlon 1700+ so that I could take advantage of the 133 FSB on the board rather than the 100 FSB of the Duron.
The first thin I did was flash the Bios to version 3.4. I then removed the J17 jumper on the board to run at 133fsb. When I first restarted the computer, everything seemed to be fine. Then I started to receive an error message that stated “Pagefault_in_nonpaged_area” and had to reset. Sometimes I received the message after a full boot and others while booting and became more frequent. At one point I needed to reset the power supply because the reset was not working and I then received a boot error that told me that system files are missing or corrupt. I have had this problem before and had to reformat after a power failure reset my system.
Next I tried to reformat and reinstall Windows XP Pro and started having problems there. I am ready to start over and would like to ask for some advice or see if there is any known issues or conflicts with my setup. I also have Powerquest Drive Image and have an image from about a month ago. Do you think that it would be feasible to use it?
I am running an AMD Athlon 1700+ on a K7T Turbo2 with 768mbs Kingston PC133 Ram, 2 Maxtor 40g hard drives, 300 watt Allied PSU, Radeon 7200 32mbs Graphics card, 56k modem, Satellite internet.
Thank you,
Hank

I finnaly got the Athlon 1700 to work. It seems that my Cd Rom drive lens was dirty and I had the "crap in, crap out" syndrome. It was not the power supply nor the Ram, it was faukty software that was read by a CD Rom that I have not cleaned in 3 years...lol.....a recommendation, clean your components ofter.
I am yet to see the final outcome, but so far no crashes. I set up a dual boot, Win 98 and XP Pro machine now and seems to run great thus far.
I apprecate all of your help and input in this matter!
Hank
