K7T Turbo2 wont post with a Duron

plz help me!
My system is as follow
2 x 256 legend brand pc133 SDRAM
GF4 MX440 Video Card
K7T Turbo2 Mainboard
Seagate Barracuda
Sony 52x24x52 CDRW
250Watt Power Supply
The system used to run a 1.2 Duron perfectly. I then upgraded to a XP2400+ and flashed the BIOS to the latest version. Now when i try to run it with the 1.2 Duron againt it will not POST. I replaced the duron with a brand new 1.3GHz and still no POST. I put my 2400XP+ back in and the system worked perfectly. I have tried clearing CMOS and limiting the FSB to 100MHz and still no POST with the Durons. I am all out of ideas, i have replaced every component i can think of (Video card, PSU, RAM) and no luck.
Someone please help me!

Welcome,
First, you're lucky to get the XP and GF4 to run with such a low rated PSU (and this may lead to problems w/that config).
You did replace the J17 jumper for 100 FSB?
LED readings (see Manual)upon re-installing Duron (all red)?
Did you try clearing CMOS before re-installing Duron?

    I have two working Asus 7970 Matrix cards that my PC wont post with them in. All power connectors plugged in, tried two different PSU's a Corsair HX850 and a Corsair AX1200i. Tried both PCI-E slots on the motherboard with both cards.
    The cards work in a second PC however, so it seems like its the motherboard.
    No display signal, no beeps, no post.
    Also, the system posts and works fine with a GTX 590 instead of the Asus 7970, and Sapphire's 7970 works fine as well.

    Hello Svet, even it has been posted more than one year ago. I experienced the same problem with a HD 7950.
    I just want to say : Yes it works finally BUT where did you find this Bios ???
    I use the global website and this version is simply missing !!!*
    The first thing I did while seeing that I didn't have no video signal and no boot is to upgrade the bios but I only find the .H5 or the bios for Ivy.
    Anyway I have a mixed feeling, quiet happy and yes ... thank you for your help now it seems working fine.
    But on the other hand ...what a pity from MSI to have a so bad listing of their bios.
    Once again thanks

  • 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...

  • K7T turbo2 no post

    Ok now your mobo has a jumper I think it is below the RAM which is yellow colour if I am not mistaken. Remove that jumper and check if the system boots.

  • Computer wont POST with X

    So I go out of town for a few months, and when I return my computer isn't booting. Turns out the PSU went bad. So I get a new one and think that everything is fixed but then computer isn't booting up with the X-FI installed in it. Boots up perfectly with it removed. I'm currently using the audio from the mother board and needless to say, I need more than that. So what is going on, and what can I do to try and remedy this?

    I have a partial solution to this problem; still working on it though. I'm using Vista Home Premium 32-Bit and an X-Fi Xtreme Music.
    I removed the sound card, and booted up. I went into Device Manager, and saw an "Unknown PCI Device". I uninstalled this device (right click, uninstall). Powered down, re-inserted the sound card, and it booted up just fine.
    The problems continue however. I installed all the available drivers from the Creative website, but Vista kept detecting it as an "unknown device" and prompted me to install drivers. It worked fine, until I powered down. Went to reboot, and system wouldn't POST.
    I removed the card again, and this time went to simply disable the "Unknown PCI Device". I re-inserted the card and the system booted. However, now I can't access the Device Manager. It doesn't appear in the Start Menu search, which is how I usually access it. If I go to the Control Panel, it's just a blank window with no icons.
    I'm going to remove the card again, uninstall the device, then try everything again from the top. I'll update later.
    EDIT: Didn't have to do any of the above. A second restart seems to have cured all. Weird.Message Edited by littledoc on 0-0-200709:48 PM

  • K7T Turbo2 and XP2400

    I discovered that they now rate the K7T Turbo2 as compatible with a 2400XP thoroughbred, but I installed one and it is recognized as an xp1800.
    This is a 266FSB throughbred 2400XP and I've flashed the latest bios, but the clock wont go beyond 15 x 100MHz.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there an obvious solution that I'm overlooking?

    Thanks, I checked the online manual and you're right.
    Also, kudos for such a quick response.  
    I had a 1400 tbird, the heatsink fan started making noise so I replaced it.  I didn't put the heatsink on very firmly and promptly melted down the cpu.  This upgrade will last me a bit longer until I have to change out the whole thing.

  • Help K7T Turbo2 :-(

    Ok here we go I just got a new k7t turbo2 today and with it a amd xp 1800+ i've read about 100 post and almost all crashing problems are psu under power issues
    i have a 330watt psu and it's new however if i turn 133fsb on my computer hangs before i even get done loading cmos.. i've killed one cpu and now i'm on my 2nd please what is going on? X(

    I have the same problem and clearing and updating bios dun help me at all :(
    When i put my +1800 on my turbo mobo i can boot up once but when i reboot it hangs and the screen never kicks in.
    Then i pull the plugg for ~5 mins and i can boot again.
    I have a 300Wps and no extra hd:s or cards so that shouldnt be a problem.
    Ive tried it with both my old tnt2 video card and my new gf4ti4200 makes no difference.
    And when running at 100fsb everything is working fine.
    According to fizzy logic the temp never goes above 50C.
    And i have the cooler on correctly with heating paste.

  • 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
    10x dvd rom
    12x8x32 cd-rw
    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

  • MSI DKA790GX wont POST |SPLIT

    msi DKA790GX
    PHENOM 11 X4 940BE
    OCZ FATALITY 800MHZ 8GB
    EVGA GTX 285
    ANTEC 650 WATTS
    2X WD 320GB RAID 0
    I am having almost the same issue but if i turn the switch of to power supply then press the power switch on mainboard it will boot
    if i try to restart from windows it will not post if i try to turn power on with switch on case (antec 900) lights come on alot of sound but will not post, unless i use switch on motherboard  it will not post at first it was random but its getting worse i tried the new bios 1.9 no luck
    it works great other than i have to use power switch on motherboard for boot up
    temps are normal, i have reseat the cpu, memory power cables nothing ran tests after test it all seems fine but it wont post with windows restart or power switch on tower
     

    Since both problems and fixing has to do with the power supply unit (PSU), I would check power connections. Perhaps try with another PSU, but it sounds like if some devices share the wrong power line. Antec PSUs usually come with a manual, have a look there for good distribution of the cables/connections.
    Could also be traces - metal debris - in the motherboard, that creates power "jumping".

  • 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 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 post beep codes

    hi:
    i bought a k7t turbo2 mobo and 1800 athlon cpu (brand new), swapped a stick of used 512mb pc133 working memory from another pc and got the machine up into bios.  i stopped work for the evening came back the next day when i was going to reformat a drive and install an os.  before i got to that i scavenged up another stick of older memory to add in, added it, then booted, but no post.  reseated everything--same.  pulled the board and trimmed it down to the basics...mobo, cpu, memory, video.  same.  swapped a working video card.  same.  thinking it was a bad stick of memory---it was older---i purchased another stick new.  just put it in.  different result now though.  now, i get a one second beep on, then off for a second, then on ,then off.  continues repetively on-off.  reset the cmos.  pulled the battery.  no changes from this on-off beep.  not *exactly* sure what the problem is.   system seemed to be fine until i swapped the add'l stick of memory in.  i am/was very careful in all my tech work but could i have fried the motherboard with something innocuous as this?  or did i get a bad stick of brand new (kingston) memory?   i am beginning to feel like throwing good money after bad trying to debug this prob.  any idea of what this one second on, one second off beep means?  or how best to continue debugging without going out purchasing additional hardware just to test a theory?
    thanks in advance for any help.

  • Need help with T-bred on K7T Turbo2????

    I just got a K7T Turbo2, the one that supports all the way up to XP2600+ 266FBS cpu's.
    and I am trying to use a XP2100+ T-bred "B" in it.
    and I can not select 133FSB.
    every time I try it defaults back to 100FSB, heck I can select, pretty much any multiplier, but they are not right.
    if I pick 8X  I get 16X, if I select 13X i get 20X?????
    it wont detect the cpu correctly and I cant select the correct settings manually.
    I flashed to the latest bios already, and it does this with either bios.
    It must be something simple, I just have never had a MSI board before and dont know my way around the bios very well yet???
    Thanks for any help ahead of time.

    I knew it was something simple, it has a 100/133FSB jumper J17 I have to set to 133FSB, DUH!!!
    This is the first KT133A board I have had that you cant do this in the bios.
    oh well no biggie.
    will change it when i get home.
    and I found a 16X and a 20X multiplier so hopefully thuis thing will run my T-bred at 2.4GHZ of more and 150FSB or more.
