KT3 Ultra2-R w/Barton 2500+ will not run at 166FSB

hello again all .  well in light of MSI's recent Bios revision for the KT3 Ultra2-R coming with support for the Barton up to 3000+ and the cost of the 2500+ coming down to $96 dollars (retail) at Newegg i couldn't resist the headache i now have.  so far every attempt i have made at 166FSB has crashed and burned.
currently the system is running at 12.5x156 given that when i try to run at 11x157 to 11x160 the system locks during PCMark2002/3DMark2001SE benching.  what's even more amusing is that if i go to 11x161 to 11x165 the system will not even fire up the drives on the Promise ATA133 RAID controller.  at 166FSB the system outright doesn't post.  MSI has responded to me and told me that it is my memory which i find comical as both sticks have been tried separately and that boot issue to the RAID doesn't read as a memory problem to me (not to mention Corsair would laugh at that as well especially since the sticks are capable of 200FSB and backed with a lifetime warranty to do such).
so aside from trying every memory timing configuration possible on the board, stripping it down to just the video card, memory, and drives, without any luck any other notions as to what would be the problem would be greatly appreciated.  thanks in advance!

You should leave memory speed at spd/auto...
When you set the FSB, need to reboot before it kicks in.
If you check the memory speed after the reboot it should be upped as well.
This is the problem; the BIOS won't let me do what you've described.
If I reset the CMOS, the SDRAM settings look like this. So I go into Frequency/Voltage Control and change the FSB to 166MHz, like this, then the SDRAM settings have automatically changed to HCLK+66, like so and there are no longer any other options in the list, like so.
Saving the settings and exiting the BIOS causes it to fail to POST.

  • System Will not run at FSB166

    Ok, well after playing with several configurations i am still no further forward on my little CPU FSB Saga.
    So this is what i have found out so far and maybe someone can shed some light.
    I have a Barton 2800+ CPU, if i run this CPU at its correct FSB of 166 my system is very unstable. 3dMark03 Will lock during the CPU test and if i use Prime95 my PC will lock within 30 Seconds. Grrrrrrr, ( Lots of profanity )
    So i clocked my CPU to 133FSB, now its just an XP2200, well thats what it says anyway.
    However no more lock ups. 3dMark03 runs through without a problem, Prime95 runs for hours without an error.
    So i decided to try something else, in my other PC i have an XP2000+ FSB133 CPU running on an MSI KT3 Ultra Board. This PC works like a dream.
    I took the CPU out of there and put it in to my K7N2 Delta Board and setup the FSB as 133 ( Correct for the CPU )
    And what happened, well it started to lock up again.
    So i clocked the FSB down to 100 and now this CPU works fine in the delta board with no Lock ups.
    So has anyone got any idea why my cpu's will not run at there correct FSB on this board.
    My 2800+ will run at 133FSB and not 166FSB
    My 2000+ will run at 100FSB and not 133FSB
    I know that the CPU must be ok because upon returning the XP2000+ back to the KT3 Ultra Board i have it works fine without a problem with 3dmark03 and Prime95.
    Its only when it is in my K7N2 Delta board running at the correct FSB.
    Your thoughts on this are much appreciated.

    Up on the advice of the guy at MSI Technical Support in the USA i took my K7N2 Delta board back and got a brand new one. Rebuilt and re-installed my system and my god it worked. I am now running my Barton 2800+ at the correct FSB of 166 and now the correct speed. Prime95 and 3d Mark03 run without a problem.
    On my old board Prime95 would lock my system in less than 30 seconds, its been running for 6 hours now without error. The CPU test in 3dmark 03 would lock everytime and now i\'ve run it thirty times and it goes through everytime.
    So yes i guess my motherboard was just screwed.
    However i have noticed some difference between my first K7N2 board and my new one. These may mean nothing, thoughts on these would be good.
    Old Board came with Bios 7.0 on it.
    New board has Bios 7.2
    Old board Manual was red colour and Raid Manual was Blue
    New Board Manual was orange colour and Raid was Green
    Old Board had no sticker on South Bridge
    New Board had a FSB400 Green Sticker on South Bridge.
    Plus i have noticed that the voltages and temperatures on my new board are much more stable than before. Less jumping up and down.
    Everything else i think was the same.
    I know they are minor and may mean nothing, it was the sticker that i found interesting. Why did my first board not have that. Why suddenly put it on ?
    Anyway, one new board later and my barton 2800+ is now running stable, so i\'m happy and i guess this proves the boards can work with them.
    A special thanks to wonkanoby, your help in this issue was most appreciated. You certainly did make me think about a few things. I have of course mad sure i have re-fitted my heatsink right =) even put some nice as3 on it.
    Anyway, i\'m not sure what to suggest to you guys still having problems. Does your south bridge have a sticker on it? Maybe they have a new version of the board out, i don\'t know. Comments People? does anyone know anything.
    Well this draws my story to a close.
    Good luck to everyone else, hope you get your systems running.

    Congratulations... I'm glad that it worked out for you.  
    But what you are telling me seems that MSI put a new release of the board on the market with a lot of bugfixes in it  :( .
    But this means that i have to get 2 boards back to the shop and claim 2 new boards. But the problem is that i have to drive about 3 hours and have to pay because i have the boards for a month now. This is in my eyes unacceptable. I'm going to write MSI and ask them if the have another idea to help me out. But i'm glad that we know what the problem is and i give you a lot of pleasure with the machine.  )  )  )  )

  • I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I did it again. Now it will not run and I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I can't figure out what is running.

    Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run. I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I have uninstalled multiple times and can't figure out what is running. The is only one Firefox installed and it is not open. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

  • Downloaded safari 6.0.4 but it will not run on 10.6.8 on

    I downloaded safair 6.0.4 to a macbook running 10.6.8 but Safari will not run the new verstion, only the 5.9.1??

    For 10.6.8 you need Safari 5.1.10.
    Ideally, you'd now install a system backup made before you got 6.0.4 on there... if that's not possible, download Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard & use Pacifist to 'force' the install, then restart. Backup first, if you haven't already.

  • Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

    I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
    I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

    The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
    Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
    Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
    Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
    Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

  • Office 2013 applications will not run as a domain users

    I have a windows 7 64-bit pc with 2013 office home and and business installed. When trying to access Office as a domain user the programs will not run. Is there a fix for this other than making the users local admins?

    Hi,
    Which version of Office 2013 did you deployed, Windows Installer-based version or the Click-to-Run version?
    Did you install the Office product with local administrator account? I notice that the users must be local administrators on their computers to install Office:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624360.aspx
    If we add the local admin right to the user, can the Office programs be launched? If so, repair the Office programs and then remove the local admin right. See if it can work.
    Best regards,

  • ITunes 10 will not run on Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have upgraded to itunes 10 and now it will not run. In task manager the process is running but no programme. i uninstalled all itunes, quick step, bonjour and apple folders. Then tried a clean instal of itunes 10. Still didn't work. Uninstalled again and reloaded v 9.2 and it works. Tried disabling bonjour and ran the instal of 10 again and it still doesn't work. This is becoming a major pain as I am stuck on v9.2.

    Try installing the version 10 again so we can check on a few other characteristics of the problem, seeoh.
    (1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
    (2) Try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
    In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
    Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?

  • HT1925 After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll can't be found, APSDaemon.exe not running".  Windows 7.

    After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll not found" APSDaemon.exe will not run.  itunes will not now run.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

    i'm not sure your expectations are realistic.  ps 5 was designed for win95.
    you can't fault adobe for failing to design ps 5 so it would be compatibile with an os that wasn't in existance when ps 5 was released. 
    to be sure, adobe did not  warrant their software would work with all future operating systems.  and no other software company can or does make such a claim.

    Hi. 
    I have read in these forums and am still lost.  I know my answer should be in hre somewhere, but if it is I am unable to understand it, so be patient as I may be reasking an already answered question.
    I try to be a good lil girl and follow forum rules, but am lost here.
    I bought a new laptop, a Dell 17R  It runs Win 7 I think. Lots of ROM/RAM.  I dowloaded the desktop program from bb dot com and cannot get it to work.  First it asked me to trouble shoot, and reconfigured the DT prog for Win XP.
    It then acknowledged my Torch and dld my photos.  Then it decided I didn't have space and undid whatever it did.
    NOW I cannot get the program, once it opens to recognise my phone at all! ACK!!
    I need someone who understands this gobbltygook to explain to me what to do.  I need to unload my photos, as I use my phone to take pix more than I would have thought.
    I am a photog, and it's better than my first digital this Torch 9800 is, and video quality, OMG, but the vids are too big to upload from the phone..........(IDK why cuz it did at Christmas?)
    Anyway, please help me here, as I can use a computer, e-mail, Facebook, Picassa, other than that, IDK too much about them.  (It took my YEARS to spring for this laptop)
    Thank you in advance for your patience.

    I have the same issue.  It gets to a desktop manager picture and just freezes.

  • Firefox 4.0 will not find update to 4.0.1, add-ons for 4.0.1 will not run

    30 May 2011, 18:22h UTC
    Downloaded 4.0 UK-edition on my laptop, the 4.0 US-edition on my desktop, and the 4.0 UK-edition on a 2nd laptop.
    On mine, updates to 4.0.1 are not found, some add-ons were taken off, as incompatible, that ran on the 4.0 on my desktop (and weren't on the 2nd laptop). Add-ons, now already even compatible with 4.0.1 (running on the 2nd laptop) will not run as 'incompatible' with 4.0 (though listed on the add-ons site as compatible.
    It has stopped telling me that 'something' is pretending to be an update from Firefox (whatever that 'something' be?) since setting the browser to updating manually, but asking me first what to do. All currently installed add-ons have not asked me for some time (though on other computers), and also report as fully up-t0-date.
    Ergo: Neither Firefox 4.0 nor any installed add-ons update correctly.
    Didn't crash, though it 'likes' doing that after printing (always Badly! with dreadful printing options/previews), leaving two tabs (rather than the one before), both of which only can be shut from their context menus. Crash reports have been sent with same email address, but not been answered. This browser has all the qualities of a Beta-release and needs some serious overhauls (it's also not very new or much safer!).
    Example for an add-on that won't install on 4.0, but will under 4.0.1: CookieMonster - which is desperately needed, given your browser still suffers from minimal, insufficient cookie management, incl. lists of domains that wish to set 'another' cookie when no cookies are as yet, allegedly, sitting on the computer.

    I've since updated manually to 4.0.1, but haven't yet tried the full uninstall version, because I have to export plenty of settings first (and/or manually copy them). Also means I'd have to start from scratch with many customizations in No Script.
    That said, I'll try the 'Safe Mode' option tonight, thank you :-)!
    If I have to uninstall the whole shebang, I'd be more tempted to go back to 3.6.x until a few more of 4's teething problems (e.g. the messy print dialogues, particularly preview, which regularly doesn't even work) have been tackled.
    Thanks-1M! for now - keep you posted.
