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:

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 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

    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.  

  • 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?

  • I use Webcourses for school and it does not support Firefox 4 or higher, how can I go back to Firefox 3.6 (windows 7) ?

    I do online classes and the web portal for the school (UCF) does not support any firefox version higher than Firefox 3.6.
    I get thrown out of the portal at various times and it is really making things difficult.
    How do I go back to firefox 3.6 from firefox 4.01 in windows 7?

    Install Firefox Portable 3.6.20 to your hard drive for that website. <br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
    It won't affect your current Firefox installation, which you should update to Firefox 6.0 - you are missing a bunch of important security fixes by being two versions behind the latest. 3.6.20 doe have all those fixes.

  • Installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended

    I've installed FCP6 on my PowerMac (PPC G4 DP 1.25GHz), and when I run it, I get a warning ("...installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended...") and the program ends. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (64MB)
    I'm looking for a definitive answer regarding my hardware compatibility with FCS2 (specifically, FCP6). I'm NOT looking for an answer along the lines of: your system is too old to run this.
    I've checked the minimum system requirements from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    and http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/):
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
    * QuickTime 7.3 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    I have all that stuff. What I'd like is to know which component of my system is FCP6 complaining about (vis-a-vis the error message above), alternatively, if someone has had success with a similar configuration, I'd like to know anything they think might help.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you may have.

    The minimum would probably be an nVidia Fx5200 or an ATI 9600...

  • HIGH DENSITY RAM

    HI ALL,
            I HAVE A K8N NEO PLATINUM BOARD AND AM LOOKING TO INSTALL HIGH DENSITY RAM. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NFORCE 3 250Gb CHIPSET IS COMPATIBLE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ALL ON THIS SUBJECT AND ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO USE HIGH DENSITY RAM. THE RAM IS THE SAME AS YOU SEE ON EBAY(1GB MODULE).
    THANKS TO ALL WHO CAN LEND A HELPING HAND.

    ok, there is no such thing as a high density RAM. i really think that the seller put up that high density crap to lure the customers. what you have there is regular PC3200(DDR400) RAM. any type of DDR-RAM will work with your mobo, as long as it's DDR.
    DDR2 or SDR or RD-RAM does not work on your mobo. so just make sure you won't buy one of those.
    i strongly suggest to avoid e-bay, and go to a reseller or a computer store to buy the memory.

  • Cisco OS 2000.2.7 does not support MCS 7825I1 ?

    Hi Pros,
    I have a new installation coming up of CCM 4.1.3 & Unity 4.0.5
    Seems Cisco has sent wrong set of OS Cds for CCM. The Server is a IBM make (MCS 7825I1) with Prescott 3.4 CPU & 2GB RAM alongwith 2 * SATA 80GB HDD.
    When I insert Hardware Detection CD for 2000.2.7 it says "This OS version does not support the detected server. Remove the disk and press any key to reboot.
    My BoM says:
    CM4.1-K9-7825= SW CallMgr 4.1, MCS-7825 2
    MCS-7825-I1-IPC1 HW Only MCS-7825-I1 with 2GB RAM
    and SATA RAID
    2
    Can I install like this - Run IBM ServeRaid, Prep server, Insert Win2k cd, then after install run OS Upgrade 2000.2.7
    Will this work?
    Regards,
    Pratik

    i am not sure why the CPU speed should matter.......
    I don't know what to say, if you have the "a" hardware detection disk, this should work. I have never had a problem once i had the right media so i will step aside and wait to see if someone else can help.

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • Macbook Pro Retina HDMI Does Not Support 2560 x 1080

    I have both the early and late 2013 rMBP 15 inch but it seems like the early 2013 does not support my Dell U2913WM at maximum resolution of 2560 x 1080 for some reason on HDMI. Are the HDMI ports any different between the two? I'm tried using SwitchResX, but at 2560 x 1080, I can only go up to 53 Hz before it says invalid configuation on the early 2013 rMBP. On the late 2013 rMBP, it can output 2560 x 1080 at 60 Hz fine. It would seem like both graphics cards are more than capable of pushing this resolution, and if I connect through Displayport, they're both fine too. I was hoping to use HDMI though to free up a Thunderbolt port. Why are the HDMI ports not outputting at the same capabilities?

    Absolutely, I understand that but I'm wondering if or why Apple has limited the HDMI port on the early 2013 rMBP. HDMI 1.4 should be more than capable at outputting up to 4k resolution, so it would seem like Apple is intentially limiting the early 2013 rMBP to HDMI 1.2? At least one post from as early as 2012 seems to suggest that installing Windows on a rMBP allows higher outputs. I thought Mavericks included support for HDMI 1.4 (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?101431-10-9-Mavericks-4K-working-tes ting-it-now) but did they not extend it down to the early 2013 rMBP? Seems like it would be able to support it, no?
    Perhaps the better question is whether anyone has been able to output anything at over 1080P on anything other than the latest rMBP after upgrading to Mavericks?
    From the earlier discussion:
    "The port definitely supports it, but OS X is another story. If I boot into Windows and connect it to a display capable of displaying 2560x1440 over HDMI, it just works. If I'm in OSX, it refuses to allow anything over 1920x1200. Even if I try to force the resolution with SwitchResX, it doesn't work. If I create a custom resolution with a 40Hz refresh rate instead of 60Hz, then it does actually work. 2560x1440 @ 40Hz fits within the bandwidth constraints of a single link at 165MHz. So it appears that OSX limits the port to 1.2 frequencies. I'm not realy sure why -- HDMI 1.4 should allow for frequencies upto 340MHz, and the hardware is clearly capable based on Windows."
    Now that Mavericks supports higher than 1080P over HDMI at least on the latest rMBP, did they just not extend that support to earlier rMBP's even though the hardware is capable of it?

  • What are the points which the migration program does not support?

    Hi,
    I have a question about migration program 'RSEC_MIGRATION'.
    As described in 'Running the Enterprise Data Warehouse',
    in 'Frequently Asked Questions - Business Intelligence in SAP NetWeaver 2004s',
    this program supports about 80% automatic migration
    according to some documents.
    What is the rest 20%?
    What doesn't this program support?
    Though it may be difficult to make a list for that
    because settings of authorization objects are various,
    I think SAP should list up as many important points
    which this program does not support as possible
    by using some examples.
    If SAP thinks of delivering such a list,
    when will it be delivered?
    Best regards,
    Kaito Hosoyamada

    Hi Kaito,
    this statement relflects the fact that a program will never be able to handle all potential complex scenarios that customers might have.
    The facts that are not completely covered by the migration assistant are:
    1.) The more complex the existing authorization concept, the more manual migration work might be necessary
    2.) Customer-exit variables for 0TCTAUTHH cannot be migrated; the respective hierarchy nodes must be assigned manually
    3.) Intensive tests are highly recommended

  • Firefox 4 does not support AVG Safesearch but IE9 does!!! Why?

    I decided to install Firefox 4 but it does not support AVG safe search or it's very useful link scanner, so for safer browsing I have reverted back to version 3.6.16.
    However Internet explorer 9 from MS supports AVG! I accept that AVG ought to release a new version, but why can Microsoft continue support in their completely re-vamped browser and Mozilla cannot, since all my other add-ons were still compatible?
    For reference I am running on Win7 home premium Sp1 64bit, AMD Phenom IIX4 N930 CPU @2.0Ghz , 4GB DDR3 Ram and an ATi HD5470 512MB Graphics Card.
    In conclusion, it would be fantastic to see Mozilla tweak the settings (if possible) to allow AVG safe search to work with Firefox 4, Until then I will go on using 3.6 and IE9 from Microsoft.

    Close Firefox 4. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG10\Firefox and open install.rdf in Notepad. Change 3.6.* to 4.0.* exit and save. Done.

  • Nokia E75 does not support sis files

    I've been trying to upgrade the Ovi maps on my E75, because navigation has kept me saying that I need to renew the license. I went to Nokia web site and found out that I need to upgrade Ovi maps in order to get the free navigation. I have a 202.12.01 firmware and I installed it once again when I had unsuccessfully tried to upgrade Ovi maps. I have Ovi maps v3.01 09wk44b01 (MW OpenGL LM MN) and Map version 0.1.24.114 (OpenBitLM 6.22.5). I've deleted all old maps and started to download new ones successfully over Nokia Ovi Suite. I've downloaded Nokia Ovi Suite and followed the instructions for downloading and installing the newest version of Ovi maps application (I suppose it must be newer than the one I have on now, because navigation still wants me to buy license, I guess it must be 3.03 or higher). I've tried it several times from the scratch, just to make sure I did it right. Of course I've also chosen the right E75 phone from the drop down menu and I downloaded the file nokia_maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.2_lm_rom.sis. I double-clicked it and everything seems to be right, but when action on the phone should be required the installation guide says "Nokia E75 does not support sis files". From the sis file name I can only now see that I have this version already installed.
    Does this mean I can not use navigation for free on E75?
    Can anybody help me ASAP, because I need the navigation evey day very badly?

    I'v followed the directions of chanchan05 "Just uninstall the maps app, delete the folder and file I mentioned, then reboot your phone. Open the maps app, and it should recreate the qf file and cities folder in a version compatible to 3.03." on /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Wasn-t-it-supposed-to-be-quot-Navigation-on-your-Nokia-Free/m-p/668305#M...
    Afterwards I installed the sis file you pointed me to and it worked. The maps on the phone were deleted, so I downloaded new ones over Nokia Ovi Suite and tried the navigation. Unfortunately it stills demands buying the licence for the navigation.
    I guess this is because the recommended sis file is v3.01 and not v3.03? Is that right?
    Any other solution?
