K7t turbo2 + geforce2 ultra

when i have my geforce2 ultra card in the k7t turbo2 motherboard i get weird charactors displayed. like on the bios screen, charactors will be grayed out or missing.
i also noticed this problem before with a different geforce2 ultra and a k7t pro2. is there a fix out or a way to fix this problem?
also, windows 2000 advanced server hangs on startup when i install drivers for the video card

Windows 2000 Advanced Server
also i do have 2 NICS installed in pci slot 1 and 2. could this be the problem conflicting with slot1/agp?

my geforce4 ti 4600 works fine in the computer, as does my geforce3 ti 200.
this geforce2 ultra works fine in my other computer.
i took all nics out, there were no pci cards installed, and still get weird charactors on random spots of the screen
after leaving the computer unplugged with cmos cleared for a couple hours, now during 2k adv server setup i no longer have the acpi error. I can get the machine to install 2k advanced server now and windows runs perfectly until i install the drivers, windows will not make it to login after installing drivers and rebooting. ive tried many different versions of drivers

K7T Pro and GeForce2 Ultra

I Probably haven't searched enough but I would like to know what you think. I purchased a GeForce2 Ultra 64mg for cheap. With the age of my board I would think it would work. The fan fires up but I have no output from the card. Is it a voltage issue? I remember something about this.
800mhz T-Bird
K7T Pro ver1:0
128mg Ram
TNT Riva 16mg
100mg (2 drives)
250 watt sparkle psu

Voltages are right on. I changed first display to agp but my little tnt card is agp and all works fine. Drivers aren't the issue as when I fire it up my monitor stays in standby. The other thing that happens is I get 4 red leds on my board. I thought that was cpu related. I get no trouble beeps. I'm going to take it to a local shop to test today. I'll post results. Thanks

K7T Turbo2 No Bootup

i just bought the MSI K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 v5. i'm using the AMD 2000+. i was using a 350w power supply. didnt boot up. i thought it was the extra 4 pin power supply thing (that p4's have) which was the problem. i went out and bought a 400w power supply with the extra 4 pins. still didnt work. i then wondered if it was my cpu, so i tried a working AMD Tbird 1.33ghz from a different machine. still no luck. The D-Bracket gives me 4 red leds on both occassions. i know its not my cpu. i know its not my power supply. i also changed the video card from a gf2 gts to an ati 8500. no luck there. i can never get to POST. nothing ever comes on screen. a friend with same board had similar problems not getting into POST and fixed it by setting FSB from 133 to 100. he was using a Duron 950 though. i tried this method, still no luck. i've tried just about everything i know, and cant get it to work. any other tips? should i contact msi and send this board back?

--------------------------

already did so Bas. i've built a few computers in my time, have run into many problems, but never anything like this. when i first ran into the problem, i read on the troubleshooting first, when that didnt work, i tried switching the various cpus/psu/gpu/memory. still didnt work. then i started from the beginning, broke out the mobo manual, and did it step by step. still no luck. i'm kinda pissed cuz i bought a new psu ($67, although i wouldve needed it eventually), sort-of new gpu ($40 ati radeon 8500), new cpu ($104 AMD 2000+ because i thought my previous AMD 2000+ was fried), memory ($56 PC133 PNY 512MB). i've tested the mobo with 2 cpu's (the tbird 1.33ghz and amd 2000+, am waiting for my new amd 2000+ to come in), 3 gpu's (radeon 8500, gf2 gts, tnt2 ultra, all agp), different arrangement of memory (512mb pny + 512mb kingston value ram dimm slot 0+1 and vice versa, 512mb pny alone dimm slot 0, 512mb kingston alone dimm slot 0), and with various psu's (350w antec, 250w generic, 400w powmax w/the extra 4pin adapter that mobo optionally requires). still no luck. after all this, i'm thinking i may have ordered a bad mobo, i dunno though. please help :D

K7t Turbo2 and an AMD Athlon XP 2600+

I recently flashed the BIOS on my K7t Turbo2 board to the 3.6 version which supports AMD Athlon XP processors up to 2600+. However, after I installed the new cpu, set the core voltage to 1.65, the multiplier to 11.5 and the DCM value to 166 the computer would not boot. Instead I received a simple "Beep" then two to three seconds later, another "Beep." This continues to no avail and it takes almost ten "hard reboots" which is killing my hard disks to even get back into the BIOS configuration, wherein I modified the DCM settings to 133 instead of 166. Now the computer boots but continues to tell me:
Unknown Processor at 1533mhz
When I did get it to run at 1910mhz (notice 1910, not 1917 as it should be), it also said Unknown Processor. Then, on one of the three ocassions I was actually able to boot the computer at the higher clock speed, none of my drives appeared. On the second ocassion, the Linux boot process froze and on the third, Windows XP wouldn't boot. Now, if anyone has any suggestions as to what BIOS settings I can try, or even resetting my BIOS to a previous version, then trying to reflash it, that would be great.... If, however, this is more of an issue with an MSI BIOS patch, please release another version that works. Thanks much!

Go with the Tbred 2400+ bud, Thats what i have at the mo in my KT3 Ultra 2C, and with my old MSI ti4200 with 128mb, it kept up with a K7N2 Delta ILSR which is running a Barton 2600+ and an MSI FX5600XT with 256mb (that rig only beats me on the extra test in 2001se and 2003 that the FX card covers).
Cant wait for my K7N2 Delta ILSR to arrive to go with my Ti4600.
Should happily blow the Barton rig away

K7T Turbo2, doesn´t show splash screen

I´ve a problem with my K7T Turbo2, when the computer starts up, it doesn´t show me the MSI logo and it´s Enabled in the BIOS, if i disable it, the same... nothing happens. It´s strange a friend of mine has the same problem with the same Motherboard.
Please, need any help.
Thanks

I agree.
I think that if the board says it supports the fullscreen logo then it should when purchased.
Mine doesn't show the fullscreen logo either- I think that while it may sound trivial it is worth looking into because if a small feature like that doesn't work then I can suspect that the board is in fact at fault with my high idle temps of 55 degrees Celcius, (60 degrees loaded)
The heatsink/fan allowed 42 Degrees idle and 48 degrees loaded on my MSI 6378 PCB 1.0. Swapping the chip again gave consistent results. The paste is generic but it was the same on the 6378 anyway so that is not the problem. The system is stable for now but I worry about the long term effect.
And if the boot logo has a bug then maybe they really didnt implement the power savings correct either - viewing it as trivial since those temps are still within AMD's spec.
I know this is just a value setup but afterall Im still a student - Elec. Eng. and craftiness at this level disgusts so dont say why do I want my logo - Market segmentation is about less features for lowend not less quality (especially in something like a computer - data is involved). I had endless woes with my 6378 (crashing disk, screeching sound ) - imagine risking the PCB 3.0 Bios actually fixed a screeching sound issue. Go figure - MSI said that bios was not for PCB ver 1.0 and logic told me to go ahead anyway higher version usually means better code. (Of course I rationalised that mostlikely the new PCB mods were slight if only to take on the XP CPU's)
Long and short - The logo thing should be investigated especially if consistently wrong on others systems. Success in little things do add to consumer impression of a company. Dont brush this off.

Hi,
In your BIOS is a modem setting, and normally it's set to auto, what happens if you set it to disabled?

K7t Turbo2 Shutdown Temperature Issue

Hello All, noob question:
I use my computer mostly for playing games. I play Warcraft III, Dungeon Siege, and JediKnight2 mostly and while I am playing sometime or another my computer will reboot in the middle of the game.
From reading the manual under the PCHealth section I assume this has to do with the Shutdown Temperature setting reaching a certain point and rebooting my computer to save it from frying my components. I have a standard case with two fans in it, thermal grease between the cpu and the heatsync but other than that I have limited knowledge of anything else that may contribute to this problem.
The first thing I tried was replacing the video card which stopped Warcraft III from rebooting but caused both Dungeon Siege and JediKnight2 to now reboot. I changed the resolution in Warcraft III to a higher resolution and now it reboots too. This confirms to me that it is a heat issue. What should I buy or do to alleviate my problem? Thank you so much for all your help in advance.
My components are:
AMD Athlon 1800XP
MSI K7T Turbo2 Motherboard
512MB PC133 Ram
Volcano 5 Heatsync
Nvidia Geforce2 MX 400 64MB & Riva TNT2 Turbo 32MB
Seagate 20GB 7200 RPM hard drive
Texas Instruments IEEE 1394 Controller Card
Lite-on 32x10x40 CDRW
Memorex 48x CD-ROM
2 fans
Viewsonic 19" E790 Display
and a partridge in a pear tree

Hi!
Well, it can be a heat problem, it could be a problem with your PSU also ...
About heat: from the list of components, I do not see a clear reason why there should be a heat problem - it all looks pretty normal to me :] Do you have any idea about the temperatures in your system? Temps can be readin BIOS, but more convenient with the program MBM 5 which can be downloaded at http://www.livewiredev.com.
I think (not sure, though) that temperatures of the video card can be read with a program called rivatuner - it can be downloaded here.
About the PSU: can you tell a little about brand & specs?

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

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.

Installing XP Pro on MS-6330 (k7t turbo2)

Im having oodles of problems installing Xp pro (and even win 98) on my computer. My current setup is:
K7T Turbo2 (latest revision, with 3.5 bios)
Athlon XP 2000+
40 gig maxtor hd
hercules gamesurround fortissimo 2
Visiontek Geforce 4 MX 420 AGP

intellimouse optical (in ps2 mode atm)
standard keyboard
generic 512 pc 133 sdram (tested with various memory test, including mem86 or whatever that was called, hehe) no errors, works perfectly
Problems arise when installing xp pro (and xp home) when at the point where it says: starting windows ... then either it reboots, blue screens, with errors like: page fault in non page area, or usb.sys or something, so ive disabled usb, etc etc...
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.
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
and heres that farking problem with xp now..

K7t Turbo2..Do I have a bad one?

Am new to the forums and MSI, but have been building and repairing 'puters for a few. Have a new K7T Turbo2 MS 6330 bios v 3.4 My question is: Is this a bad MBO, or is it in need of a bios update or something?
THE PROBLEM: Incomplete POST, stalling with no detection of a primary master hard drive (master slave is not connected at this time). Statement at stall is hard drive failure.
SYSTEM BUILD: K7T Turbo2 Board 6330 Bios v. 3.4, AMD Athlon 900 mHz, (3) 256K Mwave memory, 430W Antec TruePower ATX12V True 430, 40GB IBM ATA 100 7200RPM or 8GB Seagate ATA 33, 3dLabs 4x AGP 32MB VX1 Oxygen, Smartlink 10/100 NIC, onboard audio, Creative Labs 4X CDR
NEC Zip100, Mitusmi Floppy
DIAGNOSTICS: Tested the HD and IDE 80 pin connector in another system. They were OK. Tried an old Seagate 8 GB ATA33 with no alteration in MBO response. IDE cable is connected to the MBO blue connector with the blue primary IDE connector. The first or master connector at the other end is attached to the HD. Tried HDD jumpered as a master and cable select with no alteration in response. The secondary IDE devices (CDR and Zip100) do detect in the POST. Tried disconnecting the secondary devices from power and the MBO- no alteration in response at POST. I'M STUCK
Any thoughts or suggestions on this mess?
Sharon

HI It seems like you have pretty much covered all the bases. One other suggestion, Did you try to reset ESCD in bios? You seem to know pretty much what you are talking about. I have had both my TURBO2s for about a year now and both perfornm excellent but I am using 3.2 and 3.0 bios Escd resets the bit string and reconfigs the rig. Its located right under the Pnp line in bios just enable save and exit and try to reboot If it works,you will get a success on the bottom of the 2nd or third boot page. My older build has a WD drive going bad and once in a while I get this same no detect. When it does happen I just shut down by P/s switch.and turn it back on. You might also want to try a new cable as it don't take much for a poor connection .I hope this helps and if it don't rma the board as I don't think you left much out could be a bios chip going bad or something about 3.4 as that was for support of a 160gb drive and may be causing you some grief. Best of Luck,BIGDADDY51 CT USA edit: What are you getting for an led message when the stall occurs ? This may help with your diagnosis.

New BIOS for K7T Turbo2

I just downloaded the latest BIOS from your site (W6330VMS.360) and was planning on installing an Athlon XP 2600+ CPU. I was expecting to see a CPU multiplier of 16 available in the BIOS settings but it only goes up to 15. Can I still install a 2600+? What would the multiplier be?

Hello,
should be x16 Multi. i can't see manual selection for x16 multi too.
in BIOS description: -Support AMD XP 2400+ & 2600+ (K7T Turbo2 only)
i have checked inside and confirm that 2600+ ratting exist(323630302B@00009EA0)
i guess you should leave/setup "CPU Clock Ratio" to Default(not to override/force custom values), BIOS will ask CPU for his default multi by vid and should apply correct one.
think should be fine

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.
