Video VisionTek Xtasy 2X 64 mgs
no other units installed and monitor not hooked up.
When I power up it will not post and I get 3 beeps no video.
THe Mem and AGP was taken from my old board,
help please

Just an update. I purchased a ECS K7S5A PRO mother board and it posted on the first try. I used all the components I had in the MSI board so they were all good. I now am convinced that it was a bad board. I did notice that when I placed the Memory boards in the ECS that they went in easly not like the MSI board where you had to push them in hard to seat. Anyway thanks for all of your help and I might need it again when the MSI replacement board arrives

Problems with KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E)..please help

Hey all-
Here is my system configuration:
MSI KT3 Ultra MS-6380E) motherboard
AMD Athlon 2100+ XP cpu
(2) 512mb PC2700 DDR ram (1 gig total)
(2) 120gb Western Digital 7200rpm Harddrives (240gb total)
Nvidia Geforce Ti 4600 video card
Creative Labs Sound blaster Audigy Platinum
LG 32x10x40 CDRW
16x DVD ROM
400 watt power supply
Here is my problem:
Just built the machine, checked every plug and everything and when I turn on the machine I got no screen, no post, no beeps, nothing.
So I turned the machine, and cleared the CMOS. Turned the machine back on and got post , went into the BIOS, set the time,date, yada yada, all the drives were detected fine. I went in the Frequency/Voltage Control screen and the "CPU FSB Clock" was set to 100 mhz, "CPU Ratio" was set to Auto as was the "CPU Voltage, DDR Voltage, and AGP Voltage". I saved settings and rebooted but then I didn't get a screen, no post, no beeps.
I tried clearing CMOS again, turned machine on, got back in the BIOS just fine. I tried setting the CPU FSB Clock to 133mhz and left everything else on Auto. Rebooted and once again ..nothing.. no screen.
I don't understand what the problem could be. It seems that I can only get a screen when I clear the CMOS. But even if i use the "Load BIOS Setup Defaults" or even the "Load High Performance Defaults" I still get no screen or anything when I reboot.
Can anyone help me here? I have never run into this before.
Thanks in advance!!
Joe

If it is only doing it when you turn your bus speed of 100 up to 133 for the xp processor then I have had the problem. If you are booting with a bad cpu that isn't working properly (can't run at 133) then the computer will not POST. As soon as you clear the cmos it sets the speed back down to 100 for failsafe. If you try to boot a duron processor like a 700 or something on fsb 133 then the motherboard won't post. Make sure you don't have a duron processor instead of a athlon xp or a bad cpu. I would recommend taking it to the place you bought it or else an autorized amd spot. They should be able to throw in another proc and check it out.

KT3 Ultra(MS-6380E) Windows XP Compatibility...?

I had recently bought some new parts for my computer and everything seems to be compatible with each other even the store i bought the parts from told me everything is compatible. I checked the compatibility of the new parts ive bought and they are all "compatible" so i dont believe what i am about to say is a hardware/hardware related issue but something else. Im currently running windows 98se and eveerything is running fine. My mother board is KT3 Ultra(MS-6380E) and my CPU is an AMD Athlon XP 1800+. When I installed windows XP everything would work well for a while but when I would go to start shuntdown in XP the computer would more often restart itself than shut itself down. and sometimes when i booted it up again it would have some blue screen with a STOP error. I dont currently have what the stop ERRORS were butthey prevented me from getting back into windows XP at all. and sometimes the computer would say my mouse or keyboard is unplugged or not responding sod have to unplug them restart replug them in and hope for the best. Im wondering now what the heck is goin on here everything is compatible in windows98se and all my older(not so old) parts work in windows XP. Is there some special drivers I need to get to make the KT3 Ultra(MS-6380E) work properly with Windows XP I dont recall I installed any new drivers for it but should that really matter WinXP detects the latest drivers doesnt it? So anyway what is going on here I just want my computer that technically should work with Win XP to work with Win XP like it should. Please answer my loooooong post it would mean alot to me if I could get this issue figured out. any mroe hardware questions etc.. I can answer just email me at [email protected] or post behind this message. thank you for taking the time to read this.

KT333 - KT3 Ultra MS-6380E CPU FAN PROBLEMS

Yesterday I installed my new motherboard:
Athlon XP2000+
KT333 - KT3 Ultra MS-6380E
256Mb DDR RAM Running at 266Mhz
MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 64Mb DVI TV AGP Graphics
Everything was installed correctly and when I switched on my pc, the bios was reporting CPU FAN not running.
I checked my connection on the motherboard and it was correctly connected up to CFAN1.
After playing around abit, I tried connecting this to PSFAN1 and the FAN started spinning but the problem was still there.
Why does my motherboard Fan on CFAN1 not spin??? But spins on PSFAN1??
When my fan was on PSFAN1 it was also fluctuating but i guess thats because of my PSU which is 230 Watts (which i am going to upgrade today to 300W or 400W.
Also with kit installed how can i set up my bios to run at its best?????!?!?
Please help...

Hi,
You probably have a high-speed-fan, and you blown the fan-header of the motherboard....
Fan's like these need to be connected to the powersupply directly and only connect the sensor wire to the motherboard....

3 beeps and no video

Occasionally when starting my system (MSI KT6V-LSR, Barton 2600+, 512MB Kingston Valueram DDR400) I get 3 beeps and no video. Any ideas why?

I think it's 3 short beeps, but I doupt if this is a faulty memory problem. The problem rarely occurs (say one out of ten times the system starts) and as far as I remember I have checked the memory with memtest after buying and there were no errors. I can check it again but I have never seen a faulty Kingston memory module before. Could this be something else?

One long repeating beep and no video output

Sometimes when switching on a system build with KT6 Delta , I get one long repeating beep and no video output. The problem usually is solved if I unplug the monitor cable from the vga card and plug it in again. Still, I am thinking why does this happen since the cable seems to be connected fine?

1 Beep: DRAM refresh failure
Explanation: The system is having a problem accessing the system memory to refresh it. Refreshing is done on all system memory to keep its contents active.
Diagnosis: This code usually means a problem either with the system memory or with the motherboard itself.
Continuous Beeping: Memory or video problem
Explanation: The system is producing constant beeping in no specific pattern, or a fast "ringing" sound.
Diagnosis: This is usually caused by a problem with the system memory, or possibly the video card. The memory is more likely--the system complains long and loud if it can't find any usable memory, as there is no way to even start the boot process when this is the case. The motherboard itself could also be the problem.

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

KT3 ultra 2 6380E + XP2100

When I set bios to 133Mhz+auto board finds xp2100no problem,but when I start playing a game the system freezes.If I set bios to 100Mhz+auto board finds xp1500 and I can play as many games as I want.Anybody got any ideas.

Sorry I haven't replyed sooner work comitments.As for the memory settings everything is set to default in the Bios but I still cant get machine to run games as an xp2100 still freezes.the power supply is a 350 watt unit that came with the case. This is not only powering mainboard and ide devices+sound,lan and vga card but also an extra side case fan and blue neon light . Am I to assume the power supply could be the main problem.

Big problem with KT3 Ultra (ms-6380e v1.0) after flashing the BIOS (de

Hello out there.
I have a real complicated matter with my Kt3 Ultra board.
Used to work fine, but after I flashed it with the latest BIOS (5.7), the board has this strange behaviour: when I clear the CMOS, the board boots up, when I change & save the settings, the board does not "come to life"(black screen & beeper silent).
It has also this weird problem: it shows garbage charaters on the voltage setting of the CPU. Instead of voltages (i.e. 1.750 etc. etc.) I have only "scrambled" strings.
I had MANY difficulties in upgrading the BIOS because the AMI-flashing utility kept telling me "bios protection enabled) (but there was NO bios-protect setting in the previous bios - I checked a zillion times)...but after trying with different revisions finally I made it.
I already tried everything (re-flashed older bios-es etc. etc.)and I'm starting to feel beat ... if you have any advice, please le me know.
It would be really SAD to put this great board in the garbage-dump....
Bye,
Wyk'03

im having problems with this board as well,
i had no problems with the flash,
i did this...
boot to win me floppy,
copy the flash files to ramdrive, flashed to latest bios..
now windows hangs when i have my ac97 audio enabled in bios...
I WANT MY AC97!
hmmm can you get to a dos prompt from a boot disk?
try re-flashing with 1.0 again and then disable the cmos virus protection thingy, and yes it was there it was in the 1.0 bios on the main screen.

MSI B75MA-P45 -- No POST beep

So this is my first build and my configurations are
Intel i5 3570
Corsair vengeance 4 GB DDR3
Corsair CX600W PSU
Cooler master HAF 912 Combat cabinet
Nvidia GTX 660(Yet to be delivered)
Seagate barracuda 1 TB
So,I breadboarded my motherboard with the CPU,heatsink,RAM and PSU.
I fired it up and there was no POST beep on the speaker.
Then I removed the RAM and I got 3 long beeps which means bad memory.
So,my question is that what is the culprit? I guess if it can manage to give 3 long beeps for no RAM,the processor is fine.
The leftover parts are PSU,mobo and RAM.I am yet to borrow a RAM from my friend and PSU seems fine as there was very less load on it(not even a GPU).
Is there anyone with a B75MA-P45 who faced anything like that? Can this really be a bad mobo? The caps seem fine and theres no point of static flowing into it.
Also,the fans attatched to the motherboard powerup as well so this might mean that power is being supplied to motherboard and it isn't short.
Please reply soon as I'm really worried and pissed off on this problem :|

So,yesterday I wrote about how I couldn't get a POST beep.Now,things got worse.Today when I tried to power up the PC..it didn't :\ No cabinet fans spinning,no CPU fan snipping..NOTHING.
I removed the front panel headers and short the board manually to power it up but still the same.
PSU could have been bad but I tried the paper-clip method and the PSU's fan was working on when I used that method.
I have already applied for a replacement but as of now I would like to diagnose the problem.As with the paper-clip method,I short the 24 pin power plug.So,that means that 24-pin cable is working.
That comes down to either the 24-pin socket OR ATX 4 pin cable/SOCKET which is beside the processor.As I have a ATX 4x4 pin cable I tried to use both of them but to no avail.
That lowers down to the ATX 4 pin socket.So,that got screwed?
The last time I powered up my PC was yesterday by breadboarding it.After that I placed it back into the cabinet.
What are your thoughts on this one? Can you suggest me something to make it working again? Will CMOS reset help in such case?
And is it normal that my ATX 24 pin power cable has 23 wires?
Please reply as soon as possible.

One long beep and no video on boot

Just wondering if anyone could help me out with this little problem I seem to be having. I've checked all the connections to the board and everything is right. When I try to boot up all i get is one long high pitched 4 or so second beep that loops every 2 seconds and no video (using onboard video) or anything else.
Even tried using a small 4x video card to see if that was the problem.
System Specs:
MSi p4mam-l microatx mobo
VIA Vt8751a & VT8235 chipsets
p4 2.0ghz celeron processor @400fsb
Corsair ddr266 mem
award 430w power supply
wd 40gb ata100 hd

Pretty long beep but I finally figured it out and got it fixed. Stupid board was flaking out over the corsair mem for some reason. It took six different sticks of ram before i found one that the damn thing would boot up to.

Troubleshoot Help! KT3 Ultra MS-6380E

Hello Fellows!
I could use some help here with my computer, I am using a beat up ole computer and luckily I got the internet working here to do some researching for the problems with my computer.
I had my computer in sleep mode for a few hours and then the next thing it was the start up page. It would check the prime master... not detected, then prime slave...not detected. Then it would go to the next page to searching boot records and none of them are found. That is as far as I can go and a friend tried to help me do something about it and it seems like nothing is not reading the floppy disks. We have double checked everything and made sure everything was plugged in the right places. It also says that the IDE is not found or something like that. I have all of the IDE plugged in place. Is there a disk that I need to download to get that going or what can I do? Please help!!! thanks!!
JJ

Hello!
There is a SocketA forum around nearby, with some marvellous troubleshooters. Try there!
Edit after Stu's post: They have the best balls around.
Just a few simple things, then a question.
0 Please provide a bit more detail on your system. Processor, memory, and PSU specs are most interesting, but hard disks and CD/DVD:s would also be nice to know.
1 With a new mobo, but old hard disk, you need to do at least a Repair install of Windows. Preferably you should have as little as possible when doing this.
2 You should install the VIA drivers, known as 4in1. If you haven't got the install CD, you find it at www.viaarena.com and here, the motherboard's home page: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=11
It sounds as if you got a second hand mobo, is that so?

KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E)

Someone that hava a clue? Bought a new XP2400+ (upgraded from a XP 1800) and i have some trubble.
First it coulden`t req the cpu, had to manually change FSB to 133. And IF i get in to windows (XP) and starts to ex play a game i shuts down. The temp is (idle about 32-34 degrees C) CPU cooler is a Spire FalconRock II and i have 4 chassi fans. Surfing the net is no problem, but play games then it shuts down.I have checked my pc2700 and they are working fine. I tried all the combinations in bios dram etc.
And when i down clock to a XP1800 it works Could it be a bad CPU? I am pretty fed up with this problem. I know that my motherboard is getting old and i am going to buy a new one. But this motherbord is supose to handle up to XP2600+. I don`t know how with this moterboard beacuse i can`t change to FSB 166, it dosen`t exist in my bios anyway. So if any one have an idè please share

Is your BIOS the latest version (5.7 I believe)? I have the same board and I know I can set the FSB as fast as 133 MHz.
Burners can eat up a lot of power, but it shouldn't be too bad when they're not actually writing to CD/DVD. To see if the power supply is the culprit, try disconnecting the two burners and see if the problem still exists. If so, then it probably is not the P.S.
One possibility is that the motherboard can't handle all the power requirements. Your video card requires a significant amount of power, and the increased power needed by the new processor may be more than the motherboard is capable of distributing. This shouldn't be the case, but one way to test this would be to put in an old video card with the new processor and see if any problems occur.
