KT2 Combo D-Link Indicated CPU Error

I'm having problems with a new KT2 Combo-L board.
The board powers up (CPU fan spins), but I get no POST, no beeps, no video. The D-Link LEDs indicate a CPU error.
The only items on the board are:
-128 MB PC133 RAM Stick (tried 2 diff sticks)
-An old 16MB 3DForce AGP card (which I know works)
--I've previously tried 3 different AGP cards
Both the board and CPU (AMD Athlon XP) are newly purchased.

You sent me a mail and this is my answer, i hope it helps
Disconect the Main power cable,power must be off
Reset the bios of the board , Jumper JBAT1. Instructions found in the
Manual Page 2-24
Be shure that there no short-circuit with the mounting screws of the
case or any other screws from the case on the back of the board.
Best, take the Board out of the case and put in flat on a table, put
it on paper or cork, be carefull of electrostatic power.
Put only one RAM into the slot
put Only the graficcard in the board , nothing else
If you have a D-Braket (page 1-8) connect it to the board and have a look what the Lamps want say to you.
If Power is good, I Think now there are only 3 possibilites
1. CPU defective, test it on another Mainboard
or
2. RAM defective or wrong type, test it on another Mainboard
or
3. Graficcard defective, test it on another Mainboard

Sychost.exe error KT2-Combo L

I recently intalled KT2-Combo, 2500+ Barton, 384MB PC133, Asus V7100 Pro64. I have a USB 1.1 hub and a Logitech USB mouse although this was hppening without either connected. The system seems to keep getting an error message thats says something like "sychost.exe has generated errors and program will close" It has some other problems as well like not being able to disconnect from the internet etc. I have w2k and saw the suggestion to disable APCI and reinstall. Does this sound like the answer? I also saw that the BIOS has PCI selected for grphics instead of AGP even though I have an AGP video card. Could that be a problem? The video seems to be working great.

Such as what?
Why does all the peripherals run fine on Gigabyte motherboard perfectly?
Why does it work OK on Millenium and not XP?
I build a lot of computers and have made unattended auto installation CD`s for Win 98, Millenium, XP and Winserver 2003 and all run great on Gigabyte motherboards and Abit motherboards.
MSI has no tech support and a lousy website with no update driver or bios history detailing reasons for changes.
I am going to try the lousy motherboard again with new drivers and bios that I downloaded.
The installation CD includes directx8.0B thus it seems that they are way behind where direcyx 9 seems to be current version.
I also have for download, a special Partition Magic and Drive Image bootable CD that makes drive detailing easy but cannot give details in this forum.

KT2-Combo-L FDC Failure w/ SIIG Firewire Adapter

With a SIIG "USB 2.0+FireWire Combo DV Kit" (JU-NN0012) installed, my
KT2-Combo-L BIOS goes through device detection and then stops at a panel calling out an FDC failure. I've tried changing slots with no success. I also tried updating my motherboard's BIOS to the very latest I could find (Beta version 1.3B found on MIS' German site). The update made no difference at all, the boot sequence still stops at "FDC error".
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

KT2 Combo Problems

Hi
I just got a kt2 combo motherboard to work with my nice shiney new 2400xp and have encountered a number of problems
System:
xp 2400
kt2 combo
geforce 3 ti200 64mb
40gb maxtor
400 watt psu (3v/24A 5v/35A 12v/12A)
512mb pc133 sdram cas 2.5
securely mounted hs/f cpu temp 38C
First of all i had problems with the board freezing in the bios screen, tried to update it with file from the msi website, it returns an error saying i cant update the bios (yes it is the correct bios update)
When i attempt to install windows xp pro , it completes upto the second copying files to hdd, where it freezes at 2% completed. i cant get any further than this.
Any ideas..... I have seen on previous posts that the 12v rail of my psu is below reccomendations for a future proof psu, it is sufficient to run this board with the above hardware? the previous motherboard was a abit kt7a with a 1.4 t-bird cpu, so i assumed it would all be fine.
Thanks in advance
Dan

Hi Thanks for hte prompt reply
i have several sticks of ram which i have tried, unfortunatly they are all generic modules,
i have 1x512mb pc133 cas2.5, 2x64mb, and 2x128 mb, all of them have been used in a system at fsb 133 before, im sure i tried them at pc100 and it didnt work, but i will go give it a try now.
Any ideas on the bios not accepting hte flash?, its this that leads me to believe i have a faulty board, but im open to ideas/sugestions
Thanks

KT2 COMBO, Is 12v power Connector Needed?

Just Bought a "KT2 COMBO" to upgrade mi good old 6330 lite, and add some 2100 DDR Ram, and a new xp processor ( 2000+ ).
The problem is I'm using the same case, and the power supply in it has no 12 V ATX Power connector.
In the Quick User Guide, it refers to it (p 2-9), saying it's to provide power to the CPU.
Would the system work ok if I use only the main power connector?
Has anyone tried using it this way?

If you don't have stability problems it's probably fine.
You can buy an adapter to allow you to convert a mulex ( like you plug into an HDD ) to the 4 pin 12V plug.
If you don't have one you might try looking in local shops for butn out PSUs that have them, cut the wire and solder it to your PSU's output ( yellow to yellow, black to black )

How to pick best drivers for KT2 Combo-L?

Hello,
After I wrecked my old MS-6340 board I have purchased a used MSI socket A board in order to assemble with a internet capable machine for my parents with all the old parts I still had. On Ebay I have found a KT2 Combo-L for a reasonable price.
I have formatted the old hard drive and installed XP Pro (32-bit) and Office 2003 already. It is running like a charm
But how do I know how to pick to optimal drivers for this board? I am asking this question since I know from this forum that 'THE NEWEST DRIVERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST ONES'........
I saw that this mobo supports 'Live Update'? Would that be the best way to start? Is picking the optimal drivers a question of 'trial and error' or is there someone who can give me some tips of how to proceed here?

KT2 Combo Shutdown Problem

I recently purchased an MSI KT2 Combo mobo and set it up with an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU and 256MB DDR400.
All was going well until I went to shut the PC down from WinXP SP1 for the first time. The system shutdown like it was an AT mobo, ie. the message "it is now safe to turn your computer off" message appeared instead of the PC just powering off. I have been unable to remedy the situation despite many changes to the BIOS power management settings.
Can anyone help me with this? Or is my mobo faulty? Thanks.
Morphius.

Need more help please.
Tried all suggestions in thread: Changing HALs on win2000/XP (ACPI/APM/APIC)
NT APM/Legacy Interface Node installed and enabled. This brought up the "APM" tab in power options and APM is enabled.
PC type is "MPS Uniprocessor". Tried "MPS Multiprocessor" - no go. I think that if I could get the type to "ACPI Multiprocessor" it should work but not sure how to do that.
BIOS settings are basically all power management options set to on except for events which are all disabled.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

KT2 Combo Ethernet

Hi
we have bulid 15 Computers with the KT2 Combo
Board.
with the onboard Ethernet card now i have the problem that it runs only with 10MBit .
There is no difference if it is direct linked with a crosscable or by a switch/hub.
Bios Rev 1.0 no newer available.
Testet drivers for the onboard netcard

2. from driver disk included in the Mainboard package
3. driver from msi service page (Version: 3.13.00.0348)

I have the same problem with mine running Windows 2000. I'm waiting for a BIOS update from MSI.

KT2 Combo No Power Up

I just purchased a new KT2 Combo, new PSU(3.3v/28A 5v/30A 12v/15A), and a retail Athlon xp 2000+. I put it all together with just a Stealth 3 PCI and 256 PC133 ram, hit the power switch, but nothing moved. I got no powerup, no fans, nothing. So I tested my components, I switched CPU's, reinstalled the CPU, switch SDRAM, tried a different PSU, but nothing happened. I have the 133FSB set up, and have tried clearing the cmos a number of times, and still no power up. Does anyone have any insight into my dilema? I had a problem like this with another computer, but that just turned out to be poor attachment of the CPU.
Kevin Johnson

As I read in this site a few days ago, most of the problems are from user´s fault. Try taking out the mobo, put it over an insulated surface, install CPU, little grease or heatsink pad, heatsink fan and one memory stick and connect P.S. (suppose the PS is working OK) If fan doesn't work, probably you have a fault Mobo. 8)

KT2-Combo won't boot

All,
Have a KT2-Combo which has been running fine for a few months. This morning, I went to turn it on and it will not boot.
Get 2 short beeps, followed by 1 long beep.
Fans are all on.... no video.
D-Bracket shows Green LEDS on 1, 2, and, 3. Red for LED 4.
Can't find the D-Bracket Error codes. Downloaded manual from MSI but that particular page has an error which prevents it from loading (figures!).
Any Ideas???
Maybe a bad video card???
Thanks,
SteveM.

THanks for the info...
Removed and reseated both the RAM and video card...
Same thing...2 short beeps followed by a longer beep. D-Bracket still displaying LEDs 1, 2 and 3 Green LED 4 Red.
Tried it with only one stick....same thing.
SteveM.

Help installing an athlon on a kt2 combo

im trying to install an athlon xp 2200 on kt2 combo, the board is on the default settings fsb 133. when i plug in the cpu, and power up, the board tries to boot, and the beeps and shuts down.
tried the same board with a duron 1.3 and fsb setting at 100 and board boots fine.
any idea on whats happening? pls respond asap.
thanxs

What kind of ram do you have? It needs to be at least DDR266 (PC2100) or PC133 SDRAM, depending on which slots you are using. You can't use both types either. Post some detailed system specs for better help.

KT2 Combo+AMD 2000XP+WinXP = headache!

Just put in the KT2 Combo board with an AMD 2000XP chip. These were replacements for my old Biostar and AMD CPU.
The problem I'm having is once XP has booted up I got a lagtime of anything between 30-60 seconds before I can actually use the PC. During this time it won't start any applications and God save me if I hit the Start button!
It'll bring the Start menu up and then freeze until the lagtime is over. After that I can use the PC alright.
I've reinstalled XP 3 times today already. Tested it just on it's own without loading any drivers for any peripherals but it still does the same thing. Can't understand it
I got 256mb PC2100 DDR, GE Force 3 GFX card and not a whole lot else. If anyone has any ideas please, please lemme know as I'm going insane now! Thx
S.

I'll upgrade it but will a 350 do or should I aim for a 400W?
Unimportant, xxxW says nothing. Look for a psu with more than 25A/3.3V, 35A/5V, 18A/12V and 200W combined power and it will be sufficient for a while.

KT2 Combo L + Radeon 8500

a friend of mine cannot get a new setup with a shuttle ai61 mobo to work with a radeon 8500 video card. since he wants to spend as little money as possible, i've advised him to get a KT2 Combo L and an XP2200+ cpu (about $110 altogether). this way he can re-use his pc133 ram.
before we buy though - question is, has anyone had any success/problems running a KT2 Combo L with an ati radeon 8500 video card?

Radeons (Ati) cards are most allways tricky to install so generally speaking think you can find some probs.

What ram in KT2 Combo

I'm putting together a small system for my son from bits and pieces. The basis will be an MSI KT2 Combo motherboard and Duron 1300 cpu.
I have checked the manual which states that this board supports PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM.
My problem is that I can only buy PC3200 DDR SDRAM.
Can anyone tell me if I can safely use PC3200 DDR with the KT2 Combo motherboard.
cheers

I need it to run at 200. I already have 256mb of PC2100 from an old computer and was going to add a 256mb stick of PC3200.
If I set the memory speed to 200 in bios will it still work or is that asking for trouble?
Why ? PC2100 = 266MHz
PC1600=200MHz
PC2100=266MHz
PC2700=333MHz
PC3200=400MHz
Great thanks. I didn't realise that.

Can't install Win98 SE on KT2 Combo

Just got 2 KT2 Combo boards. Tried to install Win98 SE and won't install - the install program sees HD, Formats HD, and scans drive - it then says it is copying files needed to install windows. Then instead of starting off the actual Win98 SE installation program (with that beloved installation window) it stops, asks to remove the floppy and then reboot. After reboot it cannot boot because there is no OS installed. I have also tried to take another HD with Win98 SE preinstalled and let it reconfigure itself in the new machine - that work work due to unrecoverable errors with various VXDs.

Give complete PC specs. includding P.S. brand and AMPS. it gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v.
