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 Compatibel with.....????

Just want to know if anybody know if it is true that K7T Turbo2 (MS-6330 V.5)realy is Compatibel with the XP 2700+
Course in the "CPU Support" Section on MSI Homepage says it does...??????

ABSOLUTELY NOT. The 2700 is a 333FSB XP CPU It is :D :D :D therefore NOT able to be used on a TURBO2. However the new 2400/2600 XP cpus WILL work on the board with the soon to be released 3.6 bios because they are 133/266 fsb cpus. BIGDADDY51 CT USA. ) :D :D

K7T turbo2 problems

hi all, this is my problem -
This board was working fine for me for about 7 months then one day the Pc would not boot up. The problem is that the fans spin up but the screen stays blank and nothing else happens. I cleared the bios with the jumpers and then it booted up again. It worked for a month then i had to reset it again. After a while i had to start resetting the BIOS every time the computer was reset/shut down and needed to be turned back on. I changed the battery on the board which made no difference. I tryed the hardware in other PCs and it all worked. The LED diagnostic pannel shows "Assign all resource to ISAs" when the Pc wont boot up. I flashed the BIOS AFTER the problem started and it made no difference. Sometimes i need to reset the BIOS about 3 times before i can turn the PC on. Also, even if i just go into the bios and save without making any changes, the Pc wont boot, even though i didnt change anything.

Welcome
You pose a tough question on the surface. Perhaps if you list your system specs, including PSU, it will spark some helpful responses. I'm curious if you made any system changes (hardware or software) just before this problem first occurred?

K7T pro2, problems with multiplyer.

I just unlocked my cpu (palomino 1700+) with superglue and conductive paint. caus i wanted to overclock it with the multiplyer.
original clock is 10.5 * 133 now i can run in 11.5 *133.
When i try higher like 14 * 133 the bios sets it to 5 *133 and refuses to save it as 14.
Any comments on how to go around this problem ?
I´ve downloaded the newest bios.
And the cpu is running at 40 degrees celsius so i have no heating problems.

Ok, that wasnt much after all that work.
But thanks for the reply.
Do u think i should get some active cooling on the northbridge instead of the passive that comes w the package?

K7T turbo2 boot freeze

I recently got a K7T Turbo2 board with AMD Athlon XP 2000+ cpu. I got the board working but I got the message that my bios was too old. I flashed the bios with no errors and could boot my machine with no problems. I entered the bios but I stupidly changed the clock speed from 133 to 166. After saving the bios the machine started, checked the memory, recognized the disks/cdrom and it stops. I cleared the cmos and I think it's set back to clock speed 133 ( I have a pci hardware monitoring tool RD2) but the system still freezes. I also couldn't get back into the bios. Now I found out that when I skip the memtest I can get in the bios but then it still freezes. The strange thing is that the leds (numLock) on the keyboard still work but I can't use it in the bios.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

166 was a severe OC and you could have damaged the bios chip as a result of the OC http://www.badflash.com will get you a new chip. that 300 watt P/s could be a little light causing you some problems also.BD51 :D

K7T Turbo2 w/Duran 1.3g running hot!

I just had the K7T Turbo2 motherboard with a Duran 1.3g installed and it was running hot, around 55c. I added an additional system fan with a cfm of 32.5 and still have the problem. Does anyone know how to overcome this heat problem?
I have a fan on the ps, one on the video card, a large heat sink and fan on the cpu and a system fan, what's next???
Help

its the cooler your using and the fan on that that make the most difference not case fans

K7T Turbo2, AMD 2600 - wont recognize cpu correctly.

Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have the K7T Turbo2 W6330VMS with the latest bios, v3.6. I upgraded from an AMD Athlon +1700 (266 fsb) to a Athlon +2600 (266 fsb). I verified I had flashed the bios before installing the new CPU. I have since cleared the Bios and re-flashed it. Version 3.6 bios was the version that allows the Turbo2 to use +2400 and +2600 cpus.
Here is my problem: The system shows the CPU as a +2000 on bootup. It is running at 1660mhz, not 2133mhz. My bus is running at 133 mhz.
I have removed the CPU and verified the correct CPU was installed.
AMD Athlon, AXDA2600DKV3C.
I have tried manually changing the multiplier and bus speed, but only drop the cpu speed doing this.
What do I need to do inorder to get this board to recognize the CPU correctly?
Thank you.

AXDA2600DKV3C 2600+ 2133MHz 16x 133fsb is the cpu you need
notice the 16x multilpier
your cpu is using a 12.5 multilplier
AXDA2600DKV3D 2600+ 2083MHz 12.5x 166 fsb
is what you have despite what any thing says
the 266 version of the xp 2600 is as rare as rocking horse doings

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

K7T Turbo2 shutdown

I have a K7T Turbo2 motherboard with a duron 1.3 GHz processor bought as part of an upgrade package about a month ago. Lately, the machine has been shutting down after a period of time. The video shows a black screen with a white square in the middle. Input activity will not wake it, I have to reboot. Norton antivirus is installed and there a no driver issues.
any advise? Thanks.

Hi Patty,
This Thread belongs in the VIA Forum since the K7T has the VIA Chipset, I will move it over there. 8)

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...

A Problem with a K7T-Turbo 2

HI
I have a K7T Turbo2 (MS-6330 Ver5.0) and I'm with a problem here: When I'm botting, the POST screen shows my Cyberdrive 48x CD-Rom as a ATA-33. This is ok but, when I'm in the Windows XP Professional or in the Windows 2000 Professional, I cannot set the Ultra DMA 33 mode. It only accepts DMA multiword mode. This Cyberdrive CD-Rom also works fine in other motherboards. I also have borrowed other CD-roms drivers and recorders with some friends for test (Sony, Creative, Asus, Plextor, Generic, etc) and I've got the same problem. ;(
So, anyone knows how can I fix this problem?
PS.: I'm already using the latest BIOS version of this Motherboard and the latest VIA patches and Service Packs for the both windows (XP and 2000).

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!
AirGator

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 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 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
