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 Athlon2200 Random Shutdowns

Just got this new setup. I have K7T Turbo2 Athlon 2200+ and 256Mb pc133 ram. Every now and then the pc will just automatically just shutdown and reboot itshelf. Just comes to a complete halt. Its usually when their is alot of cpu usage. But sometimes their isnt any cpu usage. Most of the times it does it is high cpu usage. I dont have any device conflicts in windows or anything like that. Im using a Rexus 400watt powersupply with p4 connector.

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 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)

Did a clean reinstall of Win2k because I felt there had been too many hardware changes since the original installation. Evidently, while I was trying to get a XP 2600+ 333 recognized as a 2600+ (I learned in the BIOS forum that this wasn't possible) the onboard sound became enabled in BIOS.
I did the reinstall without the sound card. I then attempted to add it, but of course I had a conflict between the Audigy card and the AC97 onboard. After I figured out that the onboard sound was enabled, I disabled it in BIOS. I went to safe mode and removed all hardware related to sound and all software related to Creative. I shut down again- removed the audigy card - restarted. Shut down again, inserted the audigy card in a different slot (also tried original slot). Windows doesn't recognize it. It does see a "multimedia audio controller" that I cannot find a driver for. If I cancel out of that driver installation and try to install the Creative software it advises that no sound blaster card is present.
Should I start all over again? If I do, should I install win2k with the sound card installed?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
PS - system was working fine before I attempted the re-install but was sluggish which I felt was due to all the hardware changes (mobo, graphics card, sound card, hd) done at various times, not to mention the software installs and uninstalls.

This is the advice I rcvd from Creative technical support. It worked. Sound card is properly and cleanly installed. I also disabled the onchip sound in BIOS advanced chipset in addition to disabling the onboard audio in BIOS Integrated peripherals.
Again, this is for an audigy sound card and Win2k:
please try out the following cleansweep and
re-installation procedure instead, to see if it works:-
1. Enable the WINDOWS 2000 STARTUP MENU by rebooting your computer and
tapping F8 once every second OR holding the SHIFT key while rebooting.
2. When the menu is displayed, select SAFE MODE and press ENTER.
3. Once in SAFE MODE, insert the sound card's installation CD and exit
out of the installer
4. Click START / RUN.
5. Type "X:\AUDIO\DRIVERS\CTZAPXX.EXE into the OPEN field (replace X
with the applicable CD-ROM drive letter).
6. Click OK.
7. When the CREATIVE DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY opens, select DRIVER
UNINSTALLATION under UPDATE OPTION.
8. If two out of the three options are disabled or grayed out under
DRIVER TYPE, click OK. Otherwise, select WDM. You will then be
prompted to reboot, but please do not do so.
9. Click START / SETTINGS / CONTROL PANEL / ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
10. Remove all Creative SB Audigy 2 programs.
11. Close all windows, and reboot the computer normally (ENTER NORMAL
MODE).
12. The Audigy 2 will be detected by Windows. Cancel the ADD NEW
HARDWARE WIZARD when able.
In order to install your soundcard properly, I recommend you to ensure
the following for the audio installation and test:
- The card is the only card installed other than the Graphics card.
- The card is at least one empty slot away from the Graphics card.
- Place the soundcard away from all the others.
- That the card is seated properly in the PCI slot.
- Move the PC's internal wires away from the soundcard.
- That the on-board sound on your motherboard is disabled through the
BIOS.
- That the on-board gameport is disabled through the BIOS.
- That your motherboard BIOS is up-to-date.
- That the operating system is up-to-date with the latest service packs
and patches.
- That there are no background applications open when you attempt the
solution.
- That the anti-virus program is disabled.
- That if you are over-clocking your system, return all options to their
recommended settings.
- That you access the PC with administrator rights.
13. Perform an installation via the CTRUN program on the CD
(X:\CTRUN\CTRUN.EXE where X is the drive letter of your CD drive that
has the installation CD).
[note:RE: Item 13 - there was a ctrunx directory with ctrunx.exe and start.exe in it. The ctrunx.exe wouldn't execute, but the start.exe did the job]
14. Reboot if prompted.
15. Please obtain the latest updates for your Audigy 2 card from our
website:- http://us.creative.com//support/downloads/
Under the option 'Select your product': Select 'Sound Blaster'->'24-bit
Advanced HD'->'Sound Blaster Audigy 2'.
Under the option 'Select your operating system': Select 'Windows 2000'.
Click on the 'Go' button just below the Windows selection.
In the next page, click on 'EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Update for
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Audigy 2 ZS' and the download should
begin.
16. Once you are prompted to OPEN FROM CURRENT LOCATION or SAVE TO
DISK, select SAVE TO DISK and download the update to MY DESKTOP.
17. When the file has completed the phase of being transferred to your
computer, locate the file on your desktop and double click the file.

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 Turbo2 & heatsink clip

Came across an interesting problem/solution while rebuilding a system for a client, FWIW. They had been experiencing random errors with increasing frequency for several months, including Windows registry errors on boot, I/O errors, garbage error messages onscreen, temporary screen freezes and lockups, and then the system finally died completely. I ran through the usual troubleshooting steps and found the motherboard and CPU were bad (I'm guessing power surge but who knows).
Installed a new K7T Turbo2, new Duron 1.3 and new (quality) power supply. I reused the old heatsink/fan from the dead Duron 900, cleaned and applied thermal paste as usual. System would boot fine, then freeze, or show various hardware errors during POST. After shutdown and a long period of cooling off it would boot as normal, then freeze and go into POST errors again. I knew I had installed everything properly, but I took another very close look at the heatsink and found that it was somehow tilted ever so slightly in relation to the CPU, even though it otherwise appeared to be installed correctly. This tilt was so slight, there couldn't have been more than a few millimeters of dice that weren't in contact with the heatsink. In looking even closer, I discovered that the heatsink clip had a bend on one end which was closer to one end of the clip /~___~~\ than the bend on the other end. After reversing the clip, the heatsink then seated properly and the system is running fine with no errors.
I'd never run across a heatsink clip that had only one proper orientation, nor did I realize how critical it is for the heatsink to absolutely, positively have total and complete contact with every last bit of the dice in order for the system to boot! Sorry for the length of this post, justed wanted to throw this in, in support of the troubleshooting guide in this forum, and also to vent my frustration at having spent several hours trying to figure this one out.

on good coolers the bar is not removable
another clue on one were it will fall out is there is normally only one end has the clip for the screw driver and this should go towards the top of the cpu socket, and be on same side as step in the coolers base

[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 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 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...

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 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...

K7T Turbo2 Secondary IDE possibly broken?

I've just bought a K7T Turbo2 Motherboard, and all seems to work except the secondary IDE slot. Here's the rundown:
My system has two hard disks, and two cd/dvd type drives. The hard disks are jumpered as master/slave on one channel, and the cd/dvd as master/slave on the other channel. I can plug either cable into the primary IDE and the bios recognises whatever is on there (either the two hard disks, or the dvd/cd). Whatever I plug into the secondary IDE does not get recognised. This suggests to me that the cables are fine, and since the jumper arrangement worked fine with my last pc and remains unchanged, I'm pretty sure it can only be the IDE2 socket or something I'm not doing right in the BIOS. That said, both IDE channels are DEFINITELY set to ENABLED in the BIOS, and yet I cannot select the secondary master/slave devices to be anything other than 'none'.
I've read the manual cover to cover and am at a loss for what to do next. Please help. ?(
Richard.

:D :D :D :D :D
All sorted now. My own stupid fault - the board was being short-circuited by bits of the case (whatever it's called where the board is mounted). Took them off and all is good.

First my K7T Pro2-A and now my K7T turbo2 !!

I had an K7TPro2-A Motherboard that like a lot of other K7T Pro2-A's Died.Now i have an K7T Turbo2 motherboard that doesn't boot.I tried using an other PSU and graphic card(PCI and AGP).I think that maybe my CPU died together with my old Motherboard.
It is a:
900Mhz Amd Athlon (thunderbird)

350 watt ATX PSU
40GB Maxtor harddisk

As it says in the K7T Turbo2 manual
We used a scope to see if the core voltage was oke but it isn't.The input on the chip is oke but the output is about 1.2 Volts.And the chip is getting red hot.
We took out the processor, restarted the system without processor. The core voltage should go to 0 Volt.
Reinstall the processor and startup.
It worked for me.
