K9N Ultra-2F woes...

Hello,
I have a MSI K9N Ultra - 2F and for the moment an Athlon64 3500+ processor. Right know I am thinking of upgrading my CPU to a Athlon64x2. I did some research in the internet and all was well, until I found this post on your boards.
Needless to say that my m/b serial number is 601-7250-050XXXXXXXXXXXX!!!
The thing is that I bought this m/b 2 years ago. So, should I upgrade and if a problem occurs contact my local dealer (I bought this m/b from a computer store in Greece) or should I contact MSI directly if something goes wrong when I place the Athlon64x2 cpu?
Thanx in advance

Hello!
The problem occurs when moving large files around. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=100766.0;wap2
If you should upgrade motherboard and processor, or just the processor, depends very much upon what you use the computer for.

How to overclock my x2 3800+ with K9N Ultra

My current rig as below:-
AMD X2 3800+ AM2 stock fan
MSI K9N Ultra (MS-7250 v2.0 but on board stated v2.1) bios upgraded from 3.2 to 3.5
1G DDR2 667 Kingston Value Ram x 2
MSI 8600GT-Overclock edition
Lite-on 20X Sata DVD-Ram
Seagate Sata2 320GB
WD Pata 120GB
Cooler Master 500W Extreme
Cooler Master Centurion 5
As I'd seen in many forums that a lots of people are able to archieve 2.4G~2.6GB easily but I don't know why I can only able to archieve highest at 2.3G only.
My current setting is as below:-
Multiplier - 10
HT - 230
HTT - 5X
FSB - 287.5
Ram divider - 533
Clock speed at 2300mHz stock vcore & vdimm 1.95
But the moment I try to increase the HT to 240 or higher it tends to be unstable even I increase the vcore and vdimm.
Can someone advise me on this matter.

"Besides that I'd also tried to set HTT to 3x and loosen the ram timing to 5-5-5-15-20 2T. vcore at 1.45 vdimm 2.0 and HT set to 240 but it won't boot."
try with lesser steps. give CPU vcore only when need. what is your actual memory frequency at latest good OCed settings?
"Btw I'd not seen the function "DOT & aggressive memory timings" where am I suppose to disable it?"
aggressive memory timings option doesn't exist in your BIOS, DOT(Dynamic Overclocking) its Disabled by default, but ensure it.(located in Cell Menu).
"My PCI-E has set to 104Mhz. Coz I'd seen some forum advise to set to 104Mhz. So actually 103Mhz or 104Mhz will be more stable?"
nop will be the same.
provide screenshots from CPU-Z with your last good known OCed settings.
I'd set to disable on dynamic overclock all the time. btw I'd upload the link CPU-Z validation but I don't know how to put attachment thats why I upload the link.

Problem with K9N Ultra and Windows 7!!

Hello,
I have the following system:
- K9N Ultra (MS7250 - Version:2.0)
- AMD Athlon 64 3500+
- 4x Kingston KVR533D2N4/512
- NVIDIA GForce 7300GS
- Seagate Baracuda: ST3120827AS (7200rpm)
- NEC DVDRW ND4571A
I am running Windows XP SP3 but when I try to install Windows 7 (either 32 or 64 bit versions), when the system boots up, I choose to run from CD/DVD, the files are being loaded in the beginning but then the system is stuck in the next screen where it says Starting Windows with the green bar. I have left it for up to 90 minutes and it remains there, no change. I have tried with several different disks, always the same. I tried disabling legacy USB drivers, disabling on board audio, disabling USB and having a normal keyboard and mouse, always the same, no change whatsoever, the system halts at the same point every time.
Can someone please offer some help?

i tried once more, again disabling onboard audio, legacy, floppy, everything.....same thing, when the files are loaded and the screen goes at the green bar, the DVD spins down and halts there for ever.
i am really pissed with this problem. i have installed windows 7 in all of my computers and this is the only one that absolutely refuses for windows 7 to be installed!
hmm..what do you mean about the PSU? why would the installation of 7 have a problem with the PSU? 2 days ago i installed again windpws xp sp3 (just to see if they would install in contrast to 7) without a problem. i am really tired of changing keyboards, DVDs, taking RAM in and out etc to it...i could live without the need to take a PSU out of another pc and install it to that one, is there some BIOS fix for the problem you mention?
the bios is version 3.00 from what i read.
also..what is nvidia boot agent that is the fourth option of boot in my bios??

Monitor doesnt wake up when booting first time, have to restart - k9n ultra-2f

So, I have few problems. The main problem is in da topic:
I bought an used computer about two weeks ago. I installed windows and all drivers etc.
With the old bios (cant remember what version) all was okay except always in boot an error message was shown that said something that the proseccor could not be recognised but the processor was still shown right in My Computer.. :s
Because of that error message i decided to update bios. I updated it throught live update 3 to v.3.6 and now i dont get the processor error message but the monitor doesnt wake up in the boot.. I have to press reset button and then when the monitor wakes up there comes an error message what says something like "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed, and the system is restored to the defauls settings". Then I press any key and windows boots normally.
I reupdated v.3.6 bios today manually from floppydisk but the problem didnt go anywhere.
I have searched this forum but cant find same kind of problem posted.
Can somebody please help me with this and tell what could be the problem?
Also when booting second time so that the monitor wakes up, i get four alert sounds.. What could those mean?
My computer is pretty powerful (amd athlon 64 5600+ x2, club3d gf 7950gt, 2gb 533mhz..) It should be very smooth and fast but it often appears slowliness and ..how can i say it.. temporary tilting? :p And the 3dmark03 benchmark gives me 19465 points, it should be giving much more. The computer is clean, no viruses or adware. What could cause this?
Sorry for the messy message and bad english and im not really good at computers

Thanks for the reply.
I didnt have this issue before updating BIOS..
And i didnt find jbat1 from my k9n ultra-2f. I didnt even find it from the mb manual. Theres only a Clear CMOS Button: SW2. I pushed it few times and then i rebooted my computer. At the first time the monitor woke up instantly and i was like wohooooo but then i shut down the computer and booted it again.. The monitor didnt wake up before pressing the reset button, the same problem was back.
I think that the SW2 button reset the bios settings like the jbat1 would do, because i had disabled the big logo at the boot and after pressing SW2 the logo was back.
Then i set the memory vcore to 2.0V but it didnt help. Infact i think the computer had come a bit more slowly.. :s I think it may be the RAM what makes my comp so slow... dunno.

Maximum Cpu For K9n Ultra

Hi guys,
I have a K9N Ultra Mainborad(about 2.5 years)
I need increase my computer calculations now and my cpu is 4000+ !!!
What is the best cpu for this mainboard?(in last amd cpu)
I change my vga about 1 month ago(older vga was DEAD) and my newer vga is MSI GT430 OC dual fan.
Installed ram is 3Gb(2*512Mb + 2Gb bus800).
spec of this motherborad:
http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/motherboards_d/MSI/K9N%2BUltra%2B%2528MS-7250%2529/
thanks a lot.

An Athlon X2 6400+ would be the best CPU your motherboard supports. (CPU code ADX6400IAA6CZ)
Here's the list of supported CPUs for your board: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=253&maincat_no=1

K9N ultra, just got pc shutdown

First I received this board and it comes with Bios v3.2, strange that the latest bios on msi site is v3.1, also it is writting on the PCB v2.2. I'm sure it is a new revision which should have already fixed the capacitor problem.
do i have to revert to latest msi bios v3.1 or just stick with v3.2 which mobo come with ?
Second, after burning a DVD, 1 hour after burning PC shudown, so shutdown didn't happen once I clicked on the burn buttom like users explained, it just happened after sometime, I read it can be the cause of nvidia sw drivers, so I removed them and let the windows install default ide drivers, till now no problems
any one removing the nvidia SW driver, solve his shutdown problem ?
and if it solved, is that nvidia ide driver bug or msi fault ?
my sytem:
X2 3800+
K9N ultra 2F
7600GT
NEC 3550A
WD2500KS
512 ram single
Hec Ace 480w

I want using a gigabyte mobo before this MSI, and vCore was 1.36v all the time idle and under load, so I don't know why in the msi, it is not fixed.
this is my PSU:
http://www.hecgroupusa.com/product/32
"so I don't know why in the msi, it is not fixed."
there is nothing to fix, as i said before that isn't a problem. there are many others manifacturers which is doing the same. it is not a some kind of instability or similar. it is a nature way to go.

hope to be good, look quality, but dislike dual rail on it and it is not so powerfull.

K9N Ultra BIOS update

Hi. I have K9N Ultra. I had Sempron 2800+ installed on it, and everything worked fine. Now I'd like to install Athlon64 X2 5600. BIOS POST said that it doesn't know processor's revision and won't work at all. I downloaded new BIOS from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=253 (7250v3A.zip). Unpacked and copied Afud408.exe and A7250NMS.3A0 to disk C:\. Then I booted from win98 boot floppy and did the following actions:
> c:\
> Afud408.exe A7250NMS.3A0
BIOS update was successful, I turned off the computer, cleared CMOS with SW2 button and installed new Athlon64 X2 5600 CPU. Then I booted again.
The problem is that my system works unstable now. It may suddenly turn off in Windows when I play games. In Linux it may suddenly turn off when I use microphone in Skype.
Motherboard's version as it written on the board between PCI slots: MS-7250 Ver: 2.1.
How to fix it? Thanks!

Read >>Posting Guide<<
Reseat the CPU and make sure CPU heatsink is mounted properly and no overheating issue occur.
It is not overheated, because my system turns off immediately after test call in Skype (in Debian Linux). I can compile software for hours, using 100% of both CPU cores, and my system works stable, so I can conclude that it is not overheated.
I have 2x1GB Kingston DDR2-800, GeForce 7600GS PCI-E, 2x250 GB SATA Seagate drives, Athlon 64 X2 5600 (AM2).

K9N Ultra wont boot up anymore

Hi, 1st time poster here.
I have about 2 years old "K9N Ultra - 2F v. 2.1" non-SLi MB, wich just wont boot up anymore. I have readed the post about the same MB having some condensator problems, the sticky considerring it, and found that my MB should have the same issues as spoken there (S/N 601-7250-050Kxxxx....)
But the problem at hand isn't about burning CD's/DVD's nor LAN or anything. I was gaming few days back and my PC and started to have FPS drops so i decided to boot it up, the problem consisted after boot so decided to check up temps and stuff, everything was ok. After booting up PC few times again the computer just didn't start up at all any more. It jams to the point where MB should give the small *beep* on boot and GPU should start sending info to screen. (Similiar to when you oc'd your PC too much and it wont boot up)
So, i zeroed my bios with the button, and just to make sure took of bios battery for few mins and tried again, and the problem consists. I also tried with another (working) PSU & GPU but got no help from it.
The rig consists of:
MB: K9N Ultra - 2F v. 2.1 non-SLi
Proc: AMD 2x 64 bulk processor, cant remember model no.
Mem: 2x 512MB Buffalo 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
GPU: nVidia 7600 GT 256Mb (Also tested with nVidia 8800GTS 640MB)
Any help given would be preciated, thank you.

Thanks for the update!
The processor model per se should be no problem for your system. Image getting poor after a long while, well, sure it can be a graphics card problem but that should show itself immediately I think. Are you allowed to borrow your friend's PSU? Perhaps you have already?
Like said earlier i have 550W PSU on main PC and i tried to boot up with it without any results, so lack of power shouldn't be problem.
And for that color mixing problem, it starts out right at the point when i boot up. Its kinda hard to explain so i tooked few pics from what happens when i boot that PC up, here it goes:
Quote
Ok, so 1st off when i hit power button it gives post screen:
Quote
2:nd pic, just before that "Windows XP loading" -screen blinks up:
Quote
.... and theres the load up screen
Quote
windows boots up, prompts admin pass and goes to desktop, everything ok (even colors)
Quote
Havent done anything with PC but after like 1-2mins of idle in desktop; screen gives 1-2 secs blink of this:
After that last pic the screen goes black it doesnt turn off or go to power saving mode, just stays on with nothing on it. Waited for 5-10 mins and when nothing happened I rebooted pc and same cycle goes around again.
That windows is fresh format & install i made today and all i have installed on it are latest MSI drivers (chipset, real audio, lan) wich i downloaded today from global.msi.eu.
I also tried to install latest nvidia drivers for that 7600 but it hangs on install just like mentioned above.
ps. sry for posting pics instead of url's, but i think you get the whole picture easier this way.

K9n ultra-2f strange behaviour with 250htt and more

Hi... My Pc:
Athlon 4200+ Windsor F2
MSI k9n ultra-2f , bios rev. 3.9
2x 1024 DDR2 Goodram 800mhz
Palit 8600 sonic+
Chieftec 420w
I have problem with overclocking more than 240htt... I turn spectrums off , and i set pci-e freq on 103. I also set processor multiplayer on 6 , mem on 400, and HT x2. The problem is that motherboard boot and works with 250 htt , even 300htt but... not always. It works good when i want to boot from shutted down pc, but when i try to change something in bios or reboot it from windows it's not working ( black screen , mobo doesnt boot ) ... I have to turn the pc off , and then turn it on again. Have you guy's some idea's about this problem ;/ ?
I tried with diffrent HT multiplayer's , i saw also that in CPU-Z , with 250-300fsb it shows HT x1 instead of x2-3 which is set in bios.

"The problem is that motherboard boot and works with 250 htt , even 300htt but... not always."
High HTT freq is not important. Go for max CPU freq. and keep HTT below 1000.
Leave CPU multi to Auto, drop HT link to x3, apply 667 memory index.
Then start rising CPU HT with small steps and re-test.

K9N Ultra-2F

My PC was working very very very well.
Then I bought a new VGA card: Asus AX850Pro
After installing the VGA, as usual I have to install driver.
And also naturally, restart the computer as the PC told me.
And after that hic hic my AMD 3500+ AM2 on K9N Ultra-2F just does not boot up.
So I am writing this eemail asking for help from my Abit NF7-S, 2600+
You know, in the manual, MSI says the nForce chipset are very sensitive and tells me to unplug PWR1,2,3 before installing new module. But it does not tell me how to solve this probem when the problem does happen.
Any MSI guy here? Pls help me!!! SOS.
