K7T266Pro2-A - system unstable wid amd athlon xp 1880+?

I have a K7T266Pro2-A motherboard wid an AMD athlon xp 1800+ processor. My main problem is when I load the optimal bios settings to get the processor at 1800+, my system becomes unstable. It works fine at the default speed of 1153 mhz. Anyone know how to fix this?

i changed my FSB to 166mhz
You mean fsb133 I think, fsb166 isn't supported by the K7T266Pro2-A.
Btw: No need for apology, better asking here than blowing up your hardware.

AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton Core) will not post at FSB 166 MHz.

Per top of the board “stickys” I have read a great number of the post on this board and done my homework to provide as much technical info to help you help me. This should explain some of it’s lengthy nature.
Aside from Memory, HDD and Video card every thing else has been unplugged from board and power or stripped out of slots to isolate the problem.

BIOS I have tried: The original; Ver:10A, ran fine on Athlon XP 1600 (1400 MP) 3 years.
•   Then with MSI Live Update 3: Installed v. 1c which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz (MSI:” Fixes system reports incorrect message for AMD 3200+ CPU.
- Supports Sempron L2 512K 3000+ CPU.)
However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p
•   Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ. (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
-Fixes system sometimes will have IDE CRC error -Fixes D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.)” which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz.
I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.
•   Now running: A6712vms.1B0 – MSI hid this BIOS V. found here:
•   http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=362&kind=1
•    On a different page than the 2 versions mentioned above. http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
•    No wonder people are frustrated and confused about different MoBo versions there ID #’s and the BIOS versions them selves as seen on this news board. MSI’s fault, no fault of anyone here trying to help.
A6712vms.1B0
Runs fine at FSB 100 (shows as XP 1250+) and FSB 133 (shows as XP 2200+) Booting to Win. XP-sp2 on CMOS, default setup other than minor tweaks to accommodate MSI Ti 4200 AGP 8X 125mb graphics card or Gilmond PCI card. But which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz .
No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.

• KT4 Ultra-B (Bluetooth ready)
• KT4 Ultra-BSR (Bluetooth ready + Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4 Ultra-FISR (Bluetooth ready, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)

• KT4A Ultra (Standard Version)
• KT4A Ultra-SR (Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4A Ultra-FISR (Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
Take a look at my original box sticker:
*As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712 Ver:10A
*The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.
Just saw this: Latest Official BIOS : KT4 MS-6590 (1.4), KT4V MS-6712 (1.8 ) , KT4M MS-6596 (1.1)>>Here: [VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards

Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated.

Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
Long version:
Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

Please help AMD ATHLON XP W/ KT4 MS6590 CANNOT INSTALL WINDOWS 98/ME/X

Hello all
I just built my system 2 days ago and I still cannot install any version of windows. everytime I try to install windows 98/ME or Xp I get errors. The computer boots fine and doesnt freeze up or anything like that and i changed the FSb to 133mhz so it registers as AMD ATHLON XP 2000.
my system is as follows
KT4 MS6590 (the version that comes w/ the 5.1 dolby digital bracket.
AMD ATHLON XP 2000
256 MB DDR pc 2700 ram
48x CD rom
ATI RAdeon 9000 128 MB Oem video card
Enermax CS3051L alum/acrylic 350watt neon case
15 gb maxtor HDD
I am using an old hard drive but it works fine in the other p3 system.
My case is one of those designer enermax ones that have the blue neon installed inside
Includeing the cpu fan I have got 4 installed all together.
I am useing the optimal settings
I have no clue what to do next.
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for replying.
I tried for 2 days with default settings and all the different types of settings i can think of in the bios.
Finally i disabled all the caching options , disabled apic and windows xp was able to install but took me almost 4 hours to install :( .
the problem is i think i have bad RAMS I also changed the ram which is pc 2700 ddr from 333 mhz to 266 mhz. Before i was getting some module erros as well as some setup errors. I read that bad rams can cause these erros.
I would like to know my 256 MB pc 2700 DDR running at 266 mhz . how much percentage of system speed am I loseing?
Also is flashing the bios from diskette a bad thing and can ruin the board and also regarding the beta bios . has there been any mishaps from anyone using it.
I like this motherboard but i got to admit its a pain in the ass. esp with all the configurations there is to do. some of them i am not even too sure if i should be using them or not. I am also afraid to touch them bc my system might become unstable and unreliable.
also is there an led on the motherboard for the kt4 ms 6590 I dont see any. This is my first time building a system and setting it up myself. so any help is appreciated

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ cpu upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 X2

Hello everyone,
First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6.
According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core.
1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
Only thing I am bottle necking on is the CPU, and I would love to upgrade to Dual Core, once again, thank you for the help.

Hello @bigsnake,
I understand you are looking to upgrade your processor on your Compaq Presario Media Center SR2013WM Desktop PC. I am providing you with a link to a CPU-Upgrade thread concerning your very question ASUS A8M2N-LA CPU compatibility list. Now this is the only information I have been able to find concerning a processor upgrade for your Compaq Presario Media Center SR2013WM Desktop PC.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ compatible with windows 8.1 64bit?

I have an older build with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor. I have been reading about Win 8.1 64 bit compatibility issues regarding certain AMD processors. My question is...
Looking at my system information under processor, it shows "cx16 CMPXCHG16b instruction" in the details. From what I have read, the problem with older AMDs is that they are missing the CMPXCHG16b instruction set. Given the info
above would it be safe to say that my processor will be able to run the 64bit version of Windows 8.1?
Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
-Nick

Hi Nick,
Yes, as you know, to install a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit PC, your processor needs to support CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF.
There are some other requirements for Windows 8.1, please read this guide:
System requirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/system-requirements
So please contact AMD support if this model meet the requirement.
I also would like to suggest you run Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your computer could running Windows 8.1 before you install it.

Windows 8 64bit not compatible w/ AMD Athlon 64 processor and/or ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard.

Why should I have to go through a plethora of troubleshooting techniques, then have to settle for using the Windows 8/ 32bit install CD, when I have a 64bit system? I think it's probably something in the Windows
8 /64bit code that causes it to fail install w/ AMD Athlon 64bit processor, and/or my ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard. After a lot of hassle I tried the Windows 8 /32bit CD and that seems to work fine. My real question is, why should I have to settle
for 32bit on a 64bit system?

I had the same experience trying to install Window 8 Pro 64bit (Build 9200) on an old XP SP3 32bit system, but I somehow got it working; the full story.
I had two XP Sp3 32 bit systems I wanted to upgrade to Window 8 Pro 64 bit (with the $40 upgrade deal available now). System#1 is: I7 920/Asus P6T deluxe/EVGA 560Ti/3GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/1.44 Floppy/ 12X Bluray burner (pulled the old TV tuner card for
upgrade-incompatible). I ran the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - very few issues (TV Tuner card as mentioned and other software) - bought the upgrade. Downloaded the upgrade from my Win7Pro 64bit system to obtain the 64bit ISO (2.69GB) - burned to DVD. Installed
from DVD; no problems, finished in under 20 minutes - working great (really fast boot!).
System#2 is: Opteron 180/Asus A8N-E/EVGA 275GTX/2GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/ 1.44 Floppy/ 16X DVD RW burner; the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - more incompatible software than system#1, but no incompatible hardware. I had read a number of blogs concerning the issues
others were having with the upgrade failing, so before I purchased, I thought I would run the 64bit install DVD I had (known to work on the other system) to see if it worked. I should note this system was not-in-use and thus I was not worried if the install
failed (I'd just be annoyed!). Ran the install from the DVD; initial splash screen - no spinning dots - waited 15 minutes (by which time no activity on DVD or hard drive) - failure. Rebooted - entered bios (1010) - tried many combinations of settings up to
disabling nearly everything (NVRAID, Legacy USB, Floppy, Audio97- all disabled / moved SATA into every slot (1-4) / tried SATA 150 and SATA 300 (SATA2, slots 3-4) - no change - failure X4 attempts. Now original XP3 installation is corrupted (GRRRR!) - I should
have imaged the drive BEFORE - oh well. Read more about others experience with this seemingly NForce board-related issue. Plan B - I will try install with an IDE (PATA) hard drive (80GB) - failure. Read more - some mention Window 8 installer not "liking" XP
partitions / disks (???); Plan C - Re-partition / format / check 80 GB IDE drive with WDTools - attempted Win8Pro install - failure. Dejected; last attempt before considering Win8Pro 32bit - Plan D - Re-partition / format / check 1 TB SATA 300 drive with SeaTools
(Barracuda 32GB buffer-7200rpm) - run Win8PRO 64bit install from DVD (build 9200) - success! Install took nearly an hour, with 3 reboots to the finish. Specifics (install configuration): 1 TB SATA drive in Slot 4 (SATA2), upgraded memory to 4GB Corsair PC3200
(4 slots filled), Two DVD drives on Primary IDE channel (master and slave), secondary IDE channel - no devices, bios (1010) - NVRAID, Audio97,1394 port,LAN -disabled; USB 2.0, USB Legacy, Floppy - enabled, IDE-Auto), TrendNet USB wireless adapter on USB slot
2 (motherboard), EVGA 275GTX in PCIe slot 1, no other cards. System seems to be performing well (fast boot times, no hangs), but as noted, no sound (I actually forgot to re-enable the Audio97 device in bios; it was 2am). I will see if I can get the Audio97
enabled today; my backup is to add a Turtle Beach Montego DDL PCI card (with the Windows7 64bit driver and run in compatiblity mode). Hope this saga might help some others out - good luck.

PowerBook G4 Processor upgrade to AMD Athlon QL62?

Hello all, I am in the market for lower priced laptops but I want something durable, ie Apple computers. I saw an apple Powerbook on Craigs for about 280 working with 2gb ram. However it only has a single core 1.5ghz PowerPC G4 processor. My current laptop has an AMD Athlon QL62 dual core processor and I was wondering if the PowerBook would take it (also if it would take my ATA toshiba drive)
PS I mostly just watch youtube and netflix, do some audio/visual work. The most gaming I do is Minecraft. I don't like laptops that get really hot or have fan problems.

Not possible. They are completely different architectures.
If you want something that plays Netflix with Apple's design and operating system, get a MacBook or MacBook Pro with at least a Core2Duo. Used and refurbished Mac buyers should beware of pitfalls of buying used and refurbished*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
The plus side of getting one of those machines, you can also install Windows natively on them.

KM4M-v with AMD Athlon XP 1500+ wont boot.

tryed with one stick of ram, both sticks,
Tryed with no HDD both HDD(sepparatly and together)
Tryed with floppy Diconnected.
tryed with NO drives at all.
i have tryed everything i can think of. this machine refuses to boot. the PSU is 45 min old. this is the third PSU i have tryed. all in varying strengths. including the 450 PSU from the fisrts system in my sig. all to no avail. when i hit the power button on the front all that happens iss the CPU fan spins up and dies, the PSU fan does the same, and then the machine dies. the mouse, and KB LED's stay lit as if it was in stand-by. there ane NO PCI cards installed, no AGP. im at my wits end. HELP!!!!

Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 01-March-05, 05:26:53
Stay lit, but no way you (can) reach BIOS? Do you know how to clear CMOS? Perhaps it is looking for a PS2 mouse or keyboard, some booting device, or something completely different. Don't forget to pull power cable if you clear CMOS.
I guess you have checked for visible damage to the mobo, extra stand-offs behind it, and loose connections already.
If above doesn't work, the next step for me would be to reseat the processor. And next to dump the mobo.
Edit: Of course, the processor must also be controlled or tried in another system.
Yes no extra stand offs, and the board looks to be in perfect shape. came like it is... and the connections are firmly seated. hdd, power etc, all firmly plugged in.
happen to know if the 1500+ wprks on the k7n2 delta2 platinum?
only other AMD board in the house.
*Edit* Cpu seems to be fried, turns out my son got to more than just the old mobo. the cpu is an amd athlonXP 1700+ based on the numbers on the chip. and yes it does work with a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. and no my CPU does not work. thanks for the time and extra eyes.

Sweet as i dont have a problem with your rules mate its all good, and if u so good at this u could have told me to do continuity tests on my Mobo, also voltage test to verify everything getting the correct voltage, ive carried out my own tests on the mobo an what do ya no its got a bad connection through a track on the topside of the mobo right next to the CPU where the HSF connects to the foot, i have scratched the mobo surface with a screwdriver whilst removing the CPU and broken a track, so much for not been able to test this stuff osnavi, u guys deal more with software issues aye and hardware conflicts an stuff

Kt4v-L and amd athlon xp 2200+ issue.

Hey all,
I'm new to the boards here and am in complete desperation.
I just received my new AthlonXP 2200+ in the mail and went to put it in. I had some minor issues with CPU acknowledgement (reporting it as a 1500+) so I flashed to version 1.8 of the KT4V mainboard bios. After the flash was completed (done with livebios btw) My system will no longer boot into Windows. It WILL boot into safe mode, but as far as actual fully functional windows, it stalls just before the windows logo shows during the loading screen, kind of like a transparent image.
I'm not really all that proficient in all the computer lingo..so i may leave something out,if so please let me know and ill dig up the needed info. But this is my system setup:
Mainboard: MSI Kt4V-L Bios version 1.8
Cpu: AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Power: Alliance 450W
Video: Visiontek GeForce 3 TI500
Sound: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy X-Gamer
Ram: Samsung 512 DDR400
Hard Drive: Western Digital 10 gigabyte
CD-RW: Sony
CD-ROM: Creative labs
Lan: Onboard
If anyone has any idea what my problem might be, and any possible way to remedy this situation, It would be greatly appreciated :D

Alright... I think your FSB is set wrong. MSI says that a 100mhz FSB is incompatible with DDR400 memory, so that probably explains your windows boot problem. To check that, enter the bios when you turn your computer on and go to "Frequency and Voltage" (press delete to enter the bios). Set the front side bus to 133mhz. That is most likely the problem since a 2200+ has a 13.5 multiplier, and 13.5 *100 = 1350mhz, which is about the same speed as a 1500+. Also, check to make sure your RAM speed is set to auto. I think that option is found under Advanced chipset options (it's the third one on the left). Post back if that works or not.

KT4V and AMD Athlon Xp 2400+

Ive got a KT4V motherboard with a Geforce MX 440 Graphics card, 512DDR PC2100 Ram and an AMD Athlon Xp 2400+ Cpu. I was wondering wether anyone could tell me anything i could do to make my system run that bit faster without overclocking.
Im gonna get a new case soon with a better power supply and cooling so im glad to hear any suggestion for overclockin as well. Its not gonna be watercooled or anything like that so i cant go extreme with the fsb and stuff.

problem is your ram,your best o/c is lower multiplier,read the wire trick thread as you need that and then run it at 166 fsb or a bit more
but chances are at 166 your rams not going to boot being only pc 2100
so leave it be as far as multiplier and raise fsb a bit at a time
due to the multiplier bit your chipset uses at around mid 140 fsb it will not boot as agp and pci will be out of specs to much

K7N2G-L hangs on AMD Athlon 2600+

I have just bought the following hardware :
. K7N2G-L
. AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB 333
. 2 x 512 MB Memory DDR 400 PC 3200 (don't know the brand)
. ISO Power Supply 300 W
. DVD-ROM Drive LG
. Hard Drive Seagate 7200 RPM 120 GB
When I have installed WIN XP, after rebooting I noticed it was indicating Processor Clock at 1.24 GHz. I have then checked and confirmed this at BIOS. Have changed FSB speed on BIOS, from 100 MHz (default) to 166 MHz, and confirmed that now the processor clock was being recognized as a 2600+ one, with 2083 Mhz clock. But when I proceeded with WIN XP it always hangs on very start of it, at a blue screen.
I have formatted the HDD and tried to install WIN 98, WIN ME, WIN 2000, and all gave me the same blue crash at the installation phase. Then I realize that if lowering the FSB parameter on BIOS (less than 166 MHz), the system ran fine, allowing me to install any OS.
What is happening ? This board's specs accepts such a Processor. Is this board deffective ? I bought it just a week ago. Very frustrated. Please, kindly answer.

Thank you for reply.
I have a more accurate info on my hardware :
. Power Supply is not only 300 W. Instead, it is a model ISO-500D, stating on
the label a 420 W
. The memory brand is ELIXIR, and I have checked on their website about
compatibility with various mobo, but I can not found MSI K7N2G on the list.
Could you please verify at http://www.elixir-memory.com/, on the
Compatibility Information link ? Tks.
Regards,
Nimble.

MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) With AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE - Several Beeps

Hi,
I´ve just monted an MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) with a AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE (2.6), and at this time i´ve several beep codes (1 long + 2 shorts).
I´m using AMD Memory (1 slot, 4 Gb, pc3 - 12800 1600mhz, CL9 - 1.5V), that´s all i´ve connected/mounted.
ps - i´m using an Advance Power Supply with 480W.
Any ideas about this?
Regards,

what's the exact CPU model?
PSU details?
VGA used?
memory details? brand, vendor, ECC?
And...? Does the system boots and works fine?
CPU - AMD ATHLON II X4 631 AD631XWNGXBOX
PSU - ADVANCE 5100S - 480W
VGA - ONBOARD
MEMORY - AMD MEMORY (1 slot, 4 Gb, pc3 - 12800 1600mhz, CL9 - 1.5V) AE34G1609U2
... and doesn´t boot at all.

...OK...you're in the wrong forum but here's what happened...your FSB was set to 100 after you flashed...correct setting for 2100+ XP is 133 (2 X 133 = 266MHz)...
