K7T Turbo2 won't power up

I just recently purchased a K7T Turbo2 mobo. I am replacing an Abit KT7A which all of a sudden stopped being able to read data of off any of my hard drives.
I installed the case connectors as shown in the owners
manuel, but can not now get it to power up. The owners manuel does not specify on the speaker ,reset switch, or the power switch, which pin is positive. Can anyone confirm which way the connectors go? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

hi, i have that board and i have mine with the printed side of the connector all facing up,towards the cpu,both rows but that might not be your problem,double check ram and video,make sure their seated good,it takes a very hard push to get them fully inserted,good luck and let us know how you come out :P

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 ver5.0 won\'t reboot

I just recently bought a K7T Turbo2 (MS-6330) motherboard and I'm having a problem with it rebooting. I can't get the board to do a warm reboot. It works fine if I turn off the power and then turn it back on but even changing the BIOS settings won't allow it to reboot. I'm building this computer for someone and I will not give them a computer that won't reboot!!! I've tried to contact MSI techinical support and they have never answered me (through E-mail). I've read some other posts (in other forums) about problems with the EXACT same thing happening due to a chipset problem (KT133A) If anyone has had this problem or knows a solution please respond. here are my Spec:
K7T Turbo2 ver5.0
AMD Athlon 1200MHz (200MHz) CPU
AMD (Cooler Master) provided CPU Cooler
Matrox G400 Graphics card
2 x 64MB Crucial PC-133 Memory
P.S. I've tried other (known good) memory and graphics cards and I still have the same problem.

Well after waiting two weeks to get my replacement back from MSI I got another bad board. I haven't talked to their tech support about it yet but I think I'm going to get a different board from another manufacturer. In addition I'm going to make to STOP suggesting anymore MSI motherboards and I will definitely not choose them for my upcoming System upgrade. Just for reference.
The new board will not even POST. Or turn on for that matter. I checked all the jumpers. Unplugged everything else from the board except video, memory and processor (all proven good by another system).
I'm sick of playing with this company and I have a computer to build for someone. They just lost a formerly loyal customer. I'm not spending my money to ship it back again.
P.S.
I assume whoever sent back a KT333 motherboard and left the manual and D-Bracket in the box is going to be upset because they shipped my motherboard back in that box with the manual and the D-Bracket inside. May as well let things bounce around in the box during shipping the BOARD WAS DEAD ANYWAY!!!!!!!

Aopen Aeolus geforce4 + K7T Turbo2: PC won't boot!

Hi,
I have a problem getting an Aopen Aeolus GeForce4 Ti4200 (128MB) videocard to work with my MSI K7T Turbo2 motherboard (MSI-6330, BIOS v3.5).
The computer refuses to boot with the videocard installed! No POST beeps, no signal to the monitor, nothing. The videocard works in another computer and is brand new. The motherboard D-LED's flash a few times and stop at LEDs 2 and 4 being red -- "processor initialization". When the old AGP videocard is installed (old Asus RivaTNT) everything works fine again, I have no other issues with the MB.
At first MSI BIOS version 3.4 was installed. So tried updating that. I installed a new Enermax 300W power supply. Tried to boot without any cards or drives attached but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas??
thanks,
Nico

These things really draw a lot of current, a (high quality) 350 watt ps would be the minimum i'd run with a geforce4.
Yes, I'll go back to the store to return my 300W and get a 450W Enermax. Pretty expensive though.

How long did you test it for in the other pc, and what else was different??
Not long, just the bootup. The owner of the PC didn't want to mess up his current config... We figured if it boots it must be OK. So only text, not even Windows... He has an Athlon 1800+ and I have a Duron 1200MHz
Researching a bit on the internet I find it strange board and card manufacturers do not seem to give more info regarding PSU's, minimun watts etc.
thanks, I'm going to try another PS

K7T board won't read cd or floppy drives

I have a K7T Turbo2 board. It's been working fine for quite some time. Has 2 cd drives, and 1 hard drive. It reads the hard drive just fine and loads up ok. On boot I'm getting a "Floppy Disk(s) fail (40)" error message. It recognizes all of the drives but it won't access either cd or floppy drive. I've tried every conceivable cable option, changed cables, reseated all of the cables and also reset the bios options. I've also deleted and reinstalled all the ide devices and controllers. Any ideas??? Seems like something just went away on the motherboard.
Thanks for any suggestions.....

Wow! Changing PSU in four minutes! A local PC mag. has a competition for the quickest assembly of a computer system; any thoughts of entering? I find it a little odd that boot-up time is shortened by better Power Supply Unit.
I had one handy and the case was open! I was surprised on boot time but there was a definite difference.
In Device Manager check settings for the CD-drives. If they are set for DMA, disable. Reboot.
Currently set PIO---but had already tried this.
Next step would be to remove all not working units from Device Manager. Shut down. Unplug and clear CMOS. Wait 30 seconds or so, then restart.
Did this also. The system recognizes the devices and always has---they just can't be used to transfer any data. Drives open---they show up in device manager as ok---they show up in Windows----just can't read any data from them.
If you don't normally use floppys you could disable floppy control and floppy seek in BIOS I believe.
Floppy drive controller has been disabled and cables unplugged without success.
You have tried cable moving etc, haven't you.
Every possible combination and new cables---also tried combinations of master and slave for the cd drives--nothing worked.
Ntkernl OK?
Not sure--not getting any error messages--how can it be checked???

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.

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.

K7T Turbo2 and new Athlon 1700

Hello!
I have a K7T Turbo 2 motherboard with an AMD Duron 1200, which ran fine. I recently purchased AN AMD Athlon 1700+ so that I could take advantage of the 133 FSB on the board rather than the 100 FSB of the Duron.
The first thin I did was flash the Bios to version 3.4. I then removed the J17 jumper on the board to run at 133fsb. When I first restarted the computer, everything seemed to be fine. Then I started to receive an error message that stated “Pagefault_in_nonpaged_area” and had to reset. Sometimes I received the message after a full boot and others while booting and became more frequent. At one point I needed to reset the power supply because the reset was not working and I then received a boot error that told me that system files are missing or corrupt. I have had this problem before and had to reformat after a power failure reset my system.
Next I tried to reformat and reinstall Windows XP Pro and started having problems there. I am ready to start over and would like to ask for some advice or see if there is any known issues or conflicts with my setup. I also have Powerquest Drive Image and have an image from about a month ago. Do you think that it would be feasible to use it?
I am running an AMD Athlon 1700+ on a K7T Turbo2 with 768mbs Kingston PC133 Ram, 2 Maxtor 40g hard drives, 300 watt Allied PSU, Radeon 7200 32mbs Graphics card, 56k modem, Satellite internet.
Thank you,
Hank

I finnaly got the Athlon 1700 to work. It seems that my Cd Rom drive lens was dirty and I had the "crap in, crap out" syndrome. It was not the power supply nor the Ram, it was faukty software that was read by a CD Rom that I have not cleaned in 3 years...lol.....a recommendation, clean your components ofter.
I am yet to see the final outcome, but so far no crashes. I set up a dual boot, Win 98 and XP Pro machine now and seems to run great thus far.
I apprecate all of your help and input in this matter!

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 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?
-frustrated
http://www.josedawg.com
--------------------------

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

DC output -12v (0A - 1A)
DC output +5v sb (0A - 2A)
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 Will not boot up

Can someone help, I have a K7T Turbo2 MS-6330, and it will not boot up, I know I have power to my MB, becasue when I plug it in, the lights on my DIMM chips light up, and my fan spins for about 1/2 second. I don't know what to check next. Any assistance would be appreciated.
THANKS...

First of all, write what hardware other than mobo you have: cpu, power supply, graphics, memory, etc.

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
