K7T TURBO2 Cooks XP 1800+

My friend recently purchased a MSI MS-6330 K7T TURBO2 SOCKETA KT133A mobo and a XP 1800+ CPU to upgrade his old PIII. Along with the mobo and cpu he also got a volcano 9 cpu cooler and a enermax 350W ps.
When it booted up for the first time it appeared to run fine, windows booted up no problem but as we quickly noticed the FSB was set to 100mhz so it was only running @1150mhz so we shut it down and pulled the jumper to change it to 133FSB. When we booted it back up the it said it was a 1800+ and before windows could boot up the screen went black. Some how the cpu got cooked, the bottom of it was all black. So we installed my Duron 800 and it ran fine. what I'd like to know is if it was a faulty cpu or if the mobo could of caused it? it seems like it happened when we changed the FSB

YEAH!! my Pc run fine for the past 2 days..Can be run at 2000+ and installed windows.But after two days, my com fail to boot up, even boot up at 100mhz fsb.My com fail to boot after i shut down my Pc. Only the heatsink fan is running...I already try to clear the cmos...remove the battery..still no joy..:'(
ANYBODY PLZ HELP A9AIN!!!SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE!!!

K7t turbo2/amd XP 1800! ack! help!

i recently bought a k7t turbo2 (ms-6330) to go with my amd xp 1800, im running 2x 512 and 1x 256 ram under winblows ME. and ever since day 1, i have random lockups when i try to move or copy files in windows, but if i use dos-prompt i can transfer files just fine... also when i try to shutdown or reboot i get error from windows. i have tried underclocking the cpu, swapping out the ram... i have installed all the most current drivers for everything and i am clueless what else to try... i got a 300w amd certified psu, 20gig maxtor along with a 20gig seagate for drives. i have disabled the onboard sound as well as the printer/serial ports... i run bare bones windows setup with no junk in the backround... have 3 case fans and amd certified cpu fan so i have eliminated temp problems, it happens whether the machine is warm or cold... i even tried upgrading the bios to 3.5 to no prevail... i have no issues running any of my games from halflife to quake to diablo to everquest... other than these 2 isuues, my systems just blazes with no issues...
any ideas?

Yank out some of that ram, like the 512k stick and then try it out . ME doesn't need all that to function. BIGDADDY51CT.USA

K7t turbo2 post beep codes

hi:
i bought a k7t turbo2 mobo and 1800 athlon cpu (brand new), swapped a stick of used 512mb pc133 working memory from another pc and got the machine up into bios. i stopped work for the evening came back the next day when i was going to reformat a drive and install an os. before i got to that i scavenged up another stick of older memory to add in, added it, then booted, but no post. reseated everything--same. pulled the board and trimmed it down to the basics...mobo, cpu, memory, video. same. swapped a working video card. same. thinking it was a bad stick of memory---it was older---i purchased another stick new. just put it in. different result now though. now, i get a one second beep on, then off for a second, then on ,then off. continues repetively on-off. reset the cmos. pulled the battery. no changes from this on-off beep. not *exactly* sure what the problem is. system seemed to be fine until i swapped the add'l stick of memory in. i am/was very careful in all my tech work but could i have fried the motherboard with something innocuous as this? or did i get a bad stick of brand new (kingston) memory? i am beginning to feel like throwing good money after bad trying to debug this prob. any idea of what this one second on, one second off beep means? or how best to continue debugging without going out purchasing additional hardware just to test a theory?
thanks in advance for any help.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I foud the problem though. It was a faulty CPU. I know that I had swapped it out with my working AMD 1.4, but for some reason, this one would die once any load was put on it. I took my wife's 1.4 out and the mobo booted.
I just went out to ZipZoomFly (from Pricewatch) and bought two new AMD Athlon XP 1800+'s for $48 each. Hopefully they'll come in quickly and I can get my son's PC back to him before the end of his Christmas break. Thanks again all!

K7T Turbo2 cold boot problem

To all:
I recently replaced my old MB and CPU (Asus a7v133/AMD 850 Mhz T-bird) with a K7T Turbo2/AMD XP 1800+ Thoroughbred. All of the other components are the same (see below), except the PSU. I replaced my old one hoping that it would solve my problem.
When I cold boot the system the fans turn on but the system does not post and the monitor remains off. If I hit the reset button on the case the system boots normally. Also about 20% of the time the system emits a constant beeping (sounds like an alarm clock) when I cold start, which goes away when I hit the reset button. I have also noticed that the system trys to boot when I flip the power switch on the PSU. I don't know if this is normal with MSI boards, but my Asus would not boot until I hit the power button on the case.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
System Specs:
K7T Turbo2 (BIOS ver. 3.6)
AMD XP 1800+ Thoroughbred
896 MB PC133 RAM (3 sticks; 512 (crucial), 256 (crucial), 128 (?))
CoolMaster CPU Fan Model#: CP5-6J31C-01
Inno3D GeForce2 MX400 (32MB)
Sony 1.44MB Floppy Drive
Maxtor 20GB HDD
Plextor CD/RW
SoundBlaster Live Value
T10/100 Ethernet Card
PS/2 Keyboard
PS/2 Mouse
PSU: Kingwin Extreme series ATX 450watts:
+3.3V @ 28A Max output
+5V @ 45A Max output
+3.3V and +5V Current = 225W
+12V @ 18A Max output
+12V Current = 216W
Max Combined Wattage = 430W
-12V @ 0.8A Max output
-5V @ 0.5A Max output
+5VSB @ 2.0A Max output

To all:
Thank you for all of your suggestions. When I got home today I tried to boot up the system with only the 512MB RAM stick (Crucial Part #:CT64M64S4D) inserted in DIMM slot 1. The computer responded as described in the first post of this thread. I then tried the 256MB stick (Crucial Part #:CT32M64S8D75) in DIMM slot #1 and the system booted normally. I then subsequently added the other sticks of RAM in the remaining slots (512MB in slot 2 and the 128MB in slot 3). I think the 128MB stick is hitachi but not 100% sure...it might be Diahatsu (my short term memory isn't too good). I guess the 512MB stick did not seat well in DIMM slot 1.
However, my system still wants to boot up independently of the button on the case. The system will power up once I flip the PSU switch to the on position. I don't know if this is normal for MSI boards, but my Asus system would not boot until I pressed the case button. I must admit I am still unclear of the JFP1 wiring. However, I have tried the power switch and reset switch wiring in all combos and this did not solve the issue. Is there a BIOS setting or jumper somewhere that I am missing? Any more info would be useful.
Thanks again for the suggestions!
Dave
P.S.
Mauricio16,
Please read the entire thread before posting a response. As I stated earlier, I DO NOT have a D-Bracket...yet, and I HAVE tried a different PSU. Thanks for your suggestions though. Luckily it was not as an exteme of case as it could have been.
I guess both of us have learned a valuble lesson from this experience. When in doubt, reseat the RAM.

K7T Turbo2 V5.0 Cannot Properly Shutdown

Hello everyone,
The thing is that "Power" button on my case doesn't work for me properly. When I'm just booting the machine, the moment I press the power button the whole system freezes (the hdd led remains on, power led goes off, fan is on, disks are on, monitor is on, boot screen is on). When I press it again, system reboots.
Many of you had the similar problem before... I tried most of the suggestions... Nothing worked for me.
When in WinXP, the moment I press "power" button, system performs the shutdown, but after the drives arу off, monitor is off etc, cpu fan remains on.
Many of you will say that my PSU is not good enough. The same PSU works wine with the same config, same cpu with Abit K7T 1.3 though.
Actually, I've been able to shut down properly once. I had my machine turned of (with the I/O switch on a PSU) for quite a while, and I cleared out the bios settings. But after the machine remains on for more that a few minutes, "power" stops working.
Please help.
Configuration:
K7T Turbo2 V5.0
1Gb PC133 RAM
AMD 1700+ Athlon XP CPU
Realtek 10/100 PCI LAN
Gforce2 GTS-V
Athlon XP certified 300W PSU
Windows XP Pro, SP1

Where did you get the CPU from and do you know for sure it was pulled from a working system? eBay, and no... :(
Are you 100% sure you have Turbo2 & the OPN on the CPU itself is AXDA2600DKV3C? Yes, I visually see them with my own eyes.
You did clean base of HSF and use fresh thermal compund/grease when installing CPU & HSF/cooler? Yes.
I assume it still works with the 1800+? Yes, using it right now.
Recheck power connections and make sure the plugs are fully seated (ATX 20 pin, JPW1 square 4 pin) I'll check that the next time, probably tomorrow.
Is PSU +12V more than 10-12 amps? No idea what you're talking about here...

K7T Turbo2 Post problem

Hey all, first time here. I am trying to fix my son's computer for Christmas. His old mobo went dead and I picked up a K7T Turbo2 at the local shop. Details below:
K7T Turbo2 mobo - Award BIOS v6.00PG (W6330VMS v3.7)
AMD Athlon 1.4
2 x PC100 128MB ram
AGP GeForce4 MX (tried Rage 128
WD 40GB hdd
Standard 52x CD
Macron PSU 300W
When booting the first few times, it acts like it wants to boot, gets through post and tries to access the hdd - but never gets to any MS booting screen (XP loaded on hdd) - screen just goes black. I turn it off and back on and it gets to the point where it does the HDD check and freezes. The diagnostic LED stops on #1 red and the rest green (manual says boot attempt, but it hasn't even done a hdd check yet). I take it down and back up again several times. Sometimes the LEDs stop on #2 red and the rest green (manual says floopy init).
I took the board back to the shop and got another with the same results. I have tried different AMD 1.4 (from a known working PC), different PC100 128MB sticks and PC133 256MB sticks. I've tried booting with only minimal parts attached (no hdd or cd) with the same results. The only thing I can think of is the PSU is not strong enough. I've tried plugging in the little 12V piece and not using it with the same results. HELP!!!! Tomorrow is Christmas and my son is going to be very disappointed. TIA!

K7T Turbo2 PCI Problem

Motherboard: MSI K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 Ver5.0
Bios: 3.6
Chipset Driver: 4.43
Processor: AMD 1800+ XP
RAM: 256MB SDRAM PC133
HDD: WD800JB 80GB
CDROM: Generic 50x
CDRW: Lite-On 40x12x48 LTR40125S
With Windows XP Home or Windows XP Pro, I cannot install any PCI devices. I have tried a modem, NIC and a Soundblaster live. It sees the device, and knows what it is, but fails to install. I have tried different PCI slots. I have tried just about every BIOS setting (and yes I disabled the integrated modem, either though there is no integrated modem) but can't figure it out.
With Windows 98SE, no problem installing PCI devices. I did use a different hard drive to test WIN98, but I don't think that would matter.
Does anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to get through to tech support (no surprise there).
Thanks,
DTM77

Thank you for the advice, but that's not it. I did what you said.. pointed to either the CD or floppy. Even with the soundblaster, XP new it was a soundblaster and tried to install it's driver, but no luck.
I'm going to try different versions of the VIA chipset drivers today and see what happens.

K7T turbo2 problem with HD

K7T Turbo2 mainboard(V3.5, KT-133A chipset) with Athlon XP 1800+ CPU.
When I put Seagate 80gb drive,100 ST380021A at primary, WD 4GB as secondary. Says "Can not load operating system". When I place 4GB western digital as primary and Seagate as secondary computer boots
fine. can read secondary hard drive(80GB) just fine. Seagate drive has OS windows 2000 loaded onto it. ST works fine when I pop it as a primary on other systems win2k would load just fine. Deleted OS folder and boot.ini from ST drive and tried to boot as primary, same error message. Just can not get friggin mainboard to read my 80GB HDD as primary!!!
please help before I take this mainboard back...

What does your boot.ini contain? It might be pointing to the primary slave, though i do see your point as to why it boots in primary in other comps. Just post your boot.ini and I'll look to see if there is anything wrong or out of place.

K7T Turbo2 w2k fails after SP4 or 4in1

K7T Turbo2 w/ 1800+
768 mushkin pc133
WD800 80gb ntfs
MSI 52 cd-rw
enermax 350w
Alrighty then.... I just received this mobo back after an RMA on memory problems, and am installing in a whole new box with new ps, hdd, cd-rw. (fyi - never had any problems in the old box)
I boot from cd, format entire drive to ntfs, and install w2k. the ide's are both intitially recognized as PIO (not dma). so I've tried both of the following options first and second:
1. install wk2 sp4. installs fine, goes to reboot and hangs at a black screen right after the w2k white bar goes by.
-or-
2. install the VIA 4in1's (i've tried all different rev') and I get BSOD with "inaccessible_boot_device" errors.
Did MSI send me back a lemon w/ chipset problems?
Please help. I'm on 3 sleepless nights. Thanks in advance!

yep to both replys --> hdd on primary master (no jumpers), cd-rw on secondary master (jumpered to master)
Blue ends to blue mobo plug.
I have lost track how many times I have formatted and installed this thing. I'm nearing my wits end.
What about going backwards on the BIOS? I'm at 3.6, which appears to be the latest. It seems to revolve around this hdd and the ide drivers but I don't know how to solve it. I can't believe how hard this became. It was so easy in the other machine.

K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2400+

Hello everyone !
I have a question about K7T Turbo2 motherboard and BIOS update.
Here it goes: I reacently bought Athlon XP 2400+ and installed it on my mobo.
But after reboot my PCU wasn't recognised and I read on MSI website that I had to
upgrade my BIOS from 3.5 to 3.6 ( I think, don't remmeber the version ) . So I did that too
and this time bios showed my CPU as XP 1800+. I said there is something wrong with CPU or
they gave me a wrong one, but NO. After reading the manual I realised that that XP 2400 uses
266 insted of 100 ( standard that came with mobo )and that I had to remove J17 jumper to make it
work and also had to change options in BIOS --> like FBS 133 and multiplier 15 to get XP2400.
Reason that I'm expling what I did is to let you know what stuff I did before I came to this forum to
ask a Q. Anyway after all of that fuss PC works and shutdowns OK. But ( yeah there is a but ) now insted
of starting at once I need to press power button one time -> and you can here power starting and lights
showing but system not starting. Then I push and hold button for a few sec to shut it down. After
second push of power button system starts as normal. It looks like it need a bit of warm up ( like my car in winter time ) before it actuali start. Is this a BIOS error becouse it can't start the system with ONE
push of the button? Never had tha problem with Duron CPU and old BIOS. Need some help ..
Thanks

Hi!
I think I solved your problem! It seems that I had exactly the same problem and the same settings you have. Then, I read this Trouble Shooting Guide at:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=1131&sid=
which says:
"As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it."
So I changed the multiplier from BIOS from 15 to Default, and now it starts up great even at the first time! Even my CPU benchmark score with PCMark2002 free went up from 5195 to 6344 so now it actually works much better than with the multiplier 15!!
Try this before buying a new PSU and tell if it helps...
Regards,

K7T Turbo2 (6330v5) problem (with locked Tbreds)

Hi,
I've recently bought a K7T Turbo2 board (6330v5) OEM version (green PCB) made probably for Fujitsu-Siemens UK. They probably didn't need those board anymore and sold them (a lot of wholesalers have them in my country now).
Anyway I think the board I bought is damaged, but I not sure.
The problem is that it won't POST with locked T-breds. I've tried a 2000+ (3rd week of 2004) and a 2400+ locked T-bred (46th week of 2003) and the PC haven't started.
But with a T-Bird 1400Mhz, a 1700+ and 1800+ Palomino (probably locked) and 2400+ unlocked T-bred the board started without any problems.
Is this the problem with new XP processors (produced after the 39th week 2003 and internally locked) and this board or I have a damaged board?
TIA,
Max

Well, I didn't know it was the OEM version when I was buying it... But in this case I don't think the bios is the problem. The board looks virtually the same as the normal board.
And it boots with a pre-39 (24th week of 2003) T-bred 2400+, so it's not a lack of compatibility with T-bred issue.
For me it seems that this board has problem with T-bred made after the 39th week of 2003 (internally locked ones).
So I need to know if all of those boards have the same problem, or only this one?
BTW. Currently I'm running my unlocked T-bred 2400+ on a Abit KT7A board, and I've tried the same locked T-bred 2400+ that failed on MSI K7T Turbo2 on my abit board and it also didn't boot. So maybe there's something wrong the KT133A chip which makes KT133A boards incompatible with new locked T-breds?
Of course the locked T-bred runs fine on a KT400 board or a nforce2 ultra400 boards...

K7T Turbo2 and XP 2600+

Hi all, I have a K7T Turbo2 Motherboard with the latest Bios. I have just replaced the XP 1800+ Chip with an XP 2600+ one. I have set the CPU clock to 133Mhz but the computer will only run at 2000+ maximum, any help would be greatly appreciated,

The core speed of the 2600+ is 2083Mhz or 2133Mhz, not 2600Mhz as suggested by the name. AMD logic
Going any higher than those specified clock speeds is overclocking and might result in an unstable system. You might get it somewhat stable by tweaking the cpu vcore voltage and stuff.. but this is generally not recommended

Aopen Aeolus geforce4 + K7T Turbo2: PC won't boot!

Hi,
I have a problem getting an Aopen Aeolus GeForce4 Ti4200 (128MB) videocard to work with my MSI K7T Turbo2 motherboard (MSI-6330, BIOS v3.5).
The computer refuses to boot with the videocard installed! No POST beeps, no signal to the monitor, nothing. The videocard works in another computer and is brand new. The motherboard D-LED's flash a few times and stop at LEDs 2 and 4 being red -- "processor initialization". When the old AGP videocard is installed (old Asus RivaTNT) everything works fine again, I have no other issues with the MB.
At first MSI BIOS version 3.4 was installed. So tried updating that. I installed a new Enermax 300W power supply. Tried to boot without any cards or drives attached but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas??
thanks,
Nico

These things really draw a lot of current, a (high quality) 350 watt ps would be the minimum i'd run with a geforce4.
Yes, I'll go back to the store to return my 300W and get a 450W Enermax. Pretty expensive though.

How long did you test it for in the other pc, and what else was different??
Not long, just the bootup. The owner of the PC didn't want to mess up his current config... We figured if it boots it must be OK. So only text, not even Windows... He has an Athlon 1800+ and I have a Duron 1200MHz
Researching a bit on the internet I find it strange board and card manufacturers do not seem to give more info regarding PSU's, minimun watts etc.
thanks, I'm going to try another PS

Help K7T Turbo2 :-(

Ok here we go I just got a new k7t turbo2 today and with it a amd xp 1800+ i've read about 100 post and almost all crashing problems are psu under power issues
i have a 330watt psu and it's new however if i turn 133fsb on my computer hangs before i even get done loading cmos.. i've killed one cpu and now i'm on my 2nd please what is going on? X(

I have the same problem and clearing and updating bios dun help me at all :(
When i put my +1800 on my turbo mobo i can boot up once but when i reboot it hangs and the screen never kicks in.
Then i pull the plugg for ~5 mins and i can boot again.
I have a 300Wps and no extra hd:s or cards so that shouldnt be a problem.
Ive tried it with both my old tnt2 video card and my new gf4ti4200 makes no difference.
And when running at 100fsb everything is working fine.
According to fizzy logic the temp never goes above 50C.
And i have the cooler on correctly with heating paste.

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.
Now what, ive stuck my voodoo 3 in, and im fudgin with the settings, but quite frankly, im sick of all this, if it dont work, its going back and that pc shop is gonna fix this
