K7T Turbo2 (MS-6330) Booting problems

Last night, I installed an Athlon XP 1700+ on my K7T Turbo2 mobo. I can not boot into Windows now. Windows XP will hang on loading up mup.sys, and 98 resets at an indeterminate time. I cannot install Windows 98 or XP either, as both hang on the setup (Before I can even access recovery mode for XP). I've swapped out all my PCI devices, disabled nearly everything in the BIOS, etc... nothing good. Heres what I've got.
Athlon XP 1700+
K7T Turbo2 Mobo
ATI Radeon 9000 128mb
ATI Radeon 7200 32mb (Secondary Display)
Creative Labs Soundblaster (Live!)
1280 Megs of PC133 RAM (PNY)
Linksys 10/100 PCI Ethernet Card
Maxtor 60GB HD 7200
Maxtor 12GB HD 7200
Seagate 10GB HD 5400
Buslink 52x24x52 CDRW
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Do I need to set my FSB to 133 so I can use the 1700? I have updated my BIOS to the latest version. How would I increase the FSB?

Welcome
Shutdown and remove jumper J17 (see manual - jumper near ram slots). If no boot, clear CMOS and try again. Be sure to use Fail Safe Defaults for install.
You've got a really heavy load, and hope your PSU is up to it. Do you have at least 200-220 combined watts on +3 and +5 circuits of PSU (see PSU label or maker's site).

K7T Pro2A (MS-6330) Boot Problems

Well, my computer seems to have died on me. When I try to reboot, first I get no response, just the DLED signal red red green red (0010) which the manual says corresponds to "keyboard may be damaged or not plugged in properly". So I reset the keyboard (it's the logitech wireless) and I can get it to start booting up (I see the Video card info followed by the memory test). But then it just stops and gives me the red green green green (0111) which the manual describes as "Assign IRQs to PCI devices" and under possible problems says "Stop". And the computer just sits there. Then I have to repeat the entire process, including reseting the keyboard.
Also, I can't enter setup, once I hit DEL it just goes locks up at the 0111 error.
Can anyone provide any info? Thanks in advance.
My system is AMD Athlon 900, K7T Pro2A (MS-6330)
WIN 98
384MB RAM
10G and 40 G hard drive
I think the Bios is ver 2.9 but I can't be certain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and does anyone think I should try clearing the CMOS and rebooting?
I think this is the right forum for this...

Hi,
If the board is still under warranty then I would RMA it as these have Voltage regulator problems that fail after a while.

MSI K7T turbo2 MS-6330 bios ver 3.6..NEED SERIOUS HELP!!

Anybody plz help me.I own a mobo above running amd athlon xp 2000+. My system run well for one week. After dat, my system started to give me problem. It hangs one day and when i reboot my com, the message "Windows protection error. Please restart your computer" appears. I tried already many times to restarted my com..but still fails. So i think maybe RAM problem..so i try to remove and reinstall the RAM. Then my com succeed to boot into windows. Everything run ok..no problem for few days. Then suddenly my com hang again and I juz reboot my com. Then the same message appears again..May i know wat happened to my com.PLEASE HELP ME...:'(
My spec:
msi K7T turbo2 MS-6330 bios ver 3.6

Asus v7100 Geforce 2 MX400
2x256 kingston ram(pc133)

Try uninstalling the sound card and any other nonessential components. Also, when you uninstall click on the "show hidden" items and remove duplicates. Don't remove anything that you do not know exactly what it is including any marked "unknown" but if you see multiple sound cards or cd-roms, etc. remove them. Then see if you boot ok and gradually reinstall items.

K7T Turbo2(MS-6330 V5) AGP Features FAQ

Hi! I'm using K7T Turbo2(MS-6330 Ver5.0) motherboard and just bought an MSI Geforce4 MX440 64MB DDR (MS-8878 SE).
When I run some benchmarking program (eg. 3D Mark 2001), the status of sideband addressing (SBA) and fastwrite (FW) of both the card and motherboard are shown as follow:
Graphics Card:
SBA: not supported
FW: supported but not enabled
Motherboard:
SBA: supported but not enabled
FW: not supported
I tried very hard to force the SBA features using variety of software (Rivatuner, PowerStrip), but all failed.
Experts here, do you think it is possible to force on either (or both) features? I heard that there are ways to force the features in low-level.
Helps & Advices pls!
TQ!

Hi,
From MSI,
Enabling SBA & FW didnt really add much to the performance. There might be potential compatibility & stability issue when enabling SBA & FW. So we will not let be enabled
After more clarification, this explanation is for both motherboard and display card of yours!

K7T Turbo2 won't boot

ok, here goes I have a MS-6330 K7T Turbo2 mobo, 256m RAM 20G Western Dig HDD NVidia GEForceMX420 64mg vid card AMD Duron 900Mhz proc. I started and it won't post, fans spin but nothing else. Cleared CMOS and it'll boot, but not RE-boot without clearing the CMOS again. I've checked the mobo to make sure it not grounding out. tried taking everything else off the mobo and it still won't post. I've taken the battery out for 10 mins, and checked it..shows good on Multimeter. I tried flashing the Bios to v3.6..no change, wouldn't post so, now I'm back to the original v3.3 because if I want to USE my computer, I first have to clear the CMOS, load defaults and then it'll boot up fine. if I've missed something PLEASE fill me in...this thing has got me COMPLETLEY stumped. If it's the motherboard I'll just buy another one rather than go through the hassle of trying to prove it's still under warranty. Help me out fellas!! PLEASE!! ?(

wow....... this is a mirror image of what happened to me almost.... to put it blunty... sounds like mobo is dying... or the cpu is dying.... but ....
did u just build this computer or did this just start up recently??? the mobo has some serious issue of POSTing when it's first installed and i have absolutely no idea why..
also... check your hsf on your cpu and c if it's it mounted properly. another thing.. r u changing anything in the bios???
Ed.
P.S. yes.. don't bother to rma. it'll take u about a month and a half to 2 months rma'ing.. i currently hate msi for how they handle my rma...

[URGENT] MSI K7T Turbo2 patched 3.6 Problem

SORRY TO POST IT AGAIN ON THIS FORUM.. ITS QUITE URGENT
Hi! I've been using MSI K7T Turbo2 with my Athlon 1700 XP.
So far no problem with the configuration.. And I did update the BIOS to v3.6
However, when I sold the mobo to someone, who's using a Duron 700 processor, he told me that he couldn't get the system to boot. Not even see the startup BIOS screen.
After that, he tried to clear the CMOS data by jumper and tried restarted, this time everything is fine. But later he found that, with this method, he CAN ONLY BOOT ONCE. Meaning if he saved anything in BIOS, it wont be saved actually. And also after he cleared the CMOS data and reinstalled Windows, when Windows restart the PC, the same old problem occurred (cannot start PC)
As Duron is running at FSB 100MHz, he did set the jumper J17 closed (100MHz). But same problem happens. Then we suspect that it has something to do with the BIOS patch that I applied (v3.6). Could it be, after applying the bios patch (when I was using Athlon 1700 XP), the bios remembers that the processor is Athlon 1700 XP and does something (eg, removed the 100MHz feature?) that caused the motherboard now DOESN'T boot with Duron 700?
Any suggestion?
If so, where can we find the original bios for flashing back to previous version?
TQ!

what kind of system specs does the pc now have that he has it? Is the heatsink mounted properly and is the fan plugged in? I doubt the PSU should have any problem with that cpu. How about the ram? try swapping it out and replacing it.
I would try removing everything that isn't essential to boot into Windows. Have only the cpu, ONE stick of ram, hard drive, cdrom drive, and graphics card. Remove modems, NICs, Raid cards, extra ram sticks, extra IDE devices, disable the onboard sound (remember that there are two values to do this with in the BIOS and both must be disabled). Try booting then. Then check if you can boot normally. If so, one of the pieces of hardware you removed is the problem. If not, something is wrong physically or in the configuration of the remaining hardware. Give that a go. If things go okay, plug in one piece of hardware at a time and retry. You'll hit a snag sooner or later.
BTW, I don't think the board still thinks an athlon xp 1700+ is still in it. In the Frequency and voltage controls, you might try setting the FSB, multiplier, and Vcore manually.

K7T Turbo2 low RAM voltage problem?

Hello
I just purchased a K7T Turbo2 6330v5 mainboard.
I have a standard singlesided 256Mb/PC133 RAM module.
I installed FuzzyLogic 4 and it shows a RAM voltage of 2.5V,while I thought all PC133 chips needed 3.3V.........
I have a fresh Win98SE install and the computer keeps freezing up,usually happens either when it enters Windows or after about 15 minutes and I have a couple of programs running.
The BIOS shows 3.46V on the 3.3V supply.
All voltages are within range in the BIOS.
any help appreciated
?(

Problem seems to be solved,and it wasn't the RAM voltage.
The onboard audio and/or drivers for that was causing the problem.

K7T - Turbo2 and Athlon 2000+ problem

Sorry for my english...
K7T Turbo2 - BIOS 3.6. Problem with Athlon 2000+. I can´t set the multilplier to 12.5, because there is only 12 - 13 step. When i set it to "Default" POST show CPU correctly as Athlon 2000+, but pc can´t be rebooted by ctrl+alt+del. Must be switched off and then on...
Second thing is... it´s impossible to install win98 or xp - blue death.
With Duron 1.3 it´s working fine ...

Hi,
I don't think ECC memory is supported by the Turbo2, it states "NO support ECC Function" on the MSI info page, look here
So, I'm not sure that ECC bios function will help you, or what it is really there for.
But, I guess this opinion will not explain why you said it will work with an duron 1.3
Another thing is that the XP2000 uses more power than the duron 1.3, so your PSU sounds a bit weak for the XP2000 cpu;
PSU 300W
5V - 24A
12V - 10A
3.3V - 14A

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.

K7T Turbo2 MS-6330

I can't run amd xp2100 at 133 MHz with motherboard K7T Turbo2, but it works (not well) at 100 MHZ and the bios tells me that i have a AMD xp1500. I have another computer with the same motherboard but with amd xp2000 and it works well at 133 MHz. So I'm very confused !!!! a new bios version maybe? to solve this?

check cooler as this is most likley reason
is psu in one that works a better one,swap them over
use a lower vga card if a gf4 will help see if power is the issue

bios needs to be 3.5 to be safe as thats when 2200 support added not clear were 2100 fits in

K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 Ver5.0

I bought the above Mobo and a new processor AMD Athlon XP2000+. WHen I boot up..the screen show dat my processor onli run at AMD Athlon(tm)1250mhz.Can i know what the reason???izit the supplier have giving me the wrong processor???and I heard oso that izit the AMD Athlon XP processor need bigger walts power supply???I'm using onli 220w power supply...ANYBODY PLZ HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............

Hi again,
Clearing CMOS will not hurt ;-) but it REALLY looks like you will have to try with a more powerful PSU. Dependent on the hardware you have, a 300-350W brand PSU will do, if you want to use a big videocard, forinstance you better go for a 400W - just make sure that it is a good quality one.

K7T Turbo2 and IDE2 controller problems

I purchased the subject Mainboard from a local retailer. I am running a Athalon 900 with a Copper CPU fan, Case Fan and PS Fan. The Hard drive is a IBM Deskstar 41gig Ultra DMA 100 drive.
Extras include a CD Drive and floppy.
Okay installation was a snap and when I fired up the system it would not locate the CD drive which was plugged into IDE2 socket. The HD was there.
So I logically started a bit of troubleshooting of which was
Bios made sure IDE 2 was AUTO
Made Sure jumpers on CD were Master
Replaced Ribbon Cable.
No change
So a bit more advance Troubleshooting resulted in
Switching HD to IDE2 (NOT THERE)
Switching CD Drive to IDE1 (THERE) (GOOD DRIVE)
Switching IDE Ribbon Cables from IDE1 to IDE2 (Not there)
Okay so I called the Owner of the store, he said he would replace the mainboard.
Three Mainboards later I still have the same setup
IBM Drive is Master on IDE1 and CD Drive is Slave on IDE1 (NOTHING IS PLUGGED INTO IDE2 on the mainboard).
Since we were at his shop we tried three devices two on IDE1 and one on IDE2 the IDE1 devices worked but IDE2 was the same...
We scratched our heads and cannot believe he would get three bad boards especially since two of them came from a different shipment.
Any ideas?

Okay it seems like I may not have explained the entire problem.
The Problem is in the POST it does not recognize the drives and actually it has a problem even with multiple drives on ide0 channel.
Hope this helps bring more light into the problem. I can never get the device to recognize therefore it will not show up in the OS. (Which btw is RH7.3 running kernel 2.4.18-10)

K7T turbo2 Ms6330 pc alert problems

when i install pc alert 3 my system keeps crashing or restarting without provication I tried installing pc alert 4 but all that did was come up with a message saying no Hardware Monitoring so i am confused what is happening.

Hello!
Why not uninstall it? It is well known to wind up in conflicts with other monitoring and controlling software, like FuzzyLogic.
Some Windows versions doesn't like programs installed into a folder named 'Program Files', but that can't be your problem.
To be complete you should also tell us some more about your system, including max amperes given by the PSU. Personally I likt to know the BIOS readings for processor and system temps.
