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....

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.

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 KT3 Ultra-ARU + All In Wonder Problem

I've got a odd problem that is related to putting my machine into Standby. If I do so the night before, then wake the system up in the morning I see issues that point to memory corruption or driver failure or a conflict with the VIA chipset. Outlook Express will lock up on launch, the ATI digital VCR app will either not launch or fail to shutdown if it does. I clean installed Windows XP, then updated it with XP SP1. Of note is that the video card works ok with the OS supplied driver but if you install the ATI drivers (which are needed to make the TV and Digital VCR work) this stuff happens. I have reinstalled several times so I am pretty sure this isn't just a messy config issue. I've had bad experiences similar to this with VIA chipset mobos in the past so this doesn't surprise me.
Anyone ever see this? Know of a fix?

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.

I'm having the same problem where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.

KT3 Ultra 2 - Bios V5.7 - Problem

Hello,
I don't know if anyone else has tried updating the KT3 Ultra 2 to the new V5.7 BIOS ?
I tried and got load of error messages on the screen, Chipset isn't support etc ROM Size Unknown ....
I have V5.6 on right now.
I have tried Live Update, it doesn't show new bios and also tried another floppy with files on and also downloaded the file again.
No win !

I did not have that particular problem but I found others
I was able to load new 5.7 bios but after I did it took board about 2 minutes to boot.
The part where the XP logo screen is supposed to come up took about 2 minutes. There is no HD (light) activity and then all of a sudden you hear harddrive and XP logo screen comes up and it boots fine.
The same situation arose with Bios 5.6 but I was able to fix that by changing MPS table from Default 1.4 to 1.1. The XP screen would take about 2 minutes to boot so I tried changing settings in bios and finally came to the MPS entry and changed it to 1.1 and the board booted fine. It took about 3-5 sec for the XP logo scrreen to pop up after the last bios screen that would show all the Devices, IRQ's ect...
Changing the MPS to 1.1 in the 5.7 bios did not fix the long boot problem like it did in 5.6.
I can live with the 5.6 bios but the CPU halt command in the 5.7 bios drops temps about 20 degrees F and that is great. I hope this problem can be fixed in 5.7 so I can utilize the CPU Halt command.

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-ARU SB Live! problem when using onboard Promise MBFasttrak 1

Hello !
I have one little problem with my motherboard. I know it's a little bit older compared to today's MSI production.. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard. I used only VT8233A southbridge's IDE until now, and everything worked perfectly. But now, I bought two Maxtor 80GB disks and placed them to a onboard Promise MBFasttrak 133 Lite (PDC20276) RAID in stripping mode. Everything works, except Soundblaster Live!. The soundcard itself works normally, but when I start to copy some files (and have some MP3's or video's running) the audio gets distorted in rythm with data transfer. I checked IRQs or address spaces, but IDE is on another IRQ than any other device, the same is address space. Had anyone the same experience with this "problem" ? Please let me know...
My configuration:
MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
256MB RAM DDR 333
2x Maxtor DiamondMax 9 80.0GB

Hi,
I think you should install at least the VIA RPP patch (http://www.viaarena.com), maybe also the patch from http://www.georgebreese.com.

IMac i7 - Strange CPU-fan problem!

Hi,
my name is Chris and I'm living in Germany. Sorry for my pigeon english, I'm not very good in languages... Nevertheless I will try to describe my problem.
I have received my iMac last saturday. It's an i7 with 2TB hard drive. On sunday suddenly the CPU-fan went nuts, spinning with about 3500 rpm. At that time there was no heavy CPU load at all.
Neither P-RAM- nor SMC-resets fixed the problem, the CPU-fan was running at full speed all the time. On monday morning (the i7 was switched during the night), the problem was still persisting. Hence, I contacted Apple and they promised to send me a replacement for the i7 in about three weeks.
Later on this monday, I received a package with additional 4GB of memory I had ordered for the iMac. Although the iMac was making noise comparable to a 747, I decided to build in the additional 4GB of RAM, just to play a bit around with an "8GB machine". The assembly of the additional memory was pretty easy, basically everything was working fine (memory wise). But the CPU-fan was still continuously at around 3500 rpm.
Afterwards, I decided to clean up the computer a bit by using the "automatic" script within "Onyx". I started the procedure and left the room.
When I came back about 1 hour later, there was total silence in the room. In first instance I wasn't surprised very much, because the iMac was obviously in the sleep mode. But I was really surprised when I woke it up again: The CPU- fan was back to normal, spinning with 940rpm. Almost completely silent.
Any ideas what happened? Can there be a connection between the "fan-went-nuts-issue" and the Onyx scripts?
What shall I do? My iMac is behaving now, but I have already ordered replacement...
Best wishes,
Chris

Yes, I have seen this thread, thank you.
When the CPU-fan started to spin at 3800, one of the first thing I tried was putting the iMac into the sleep mode. After I had done so, I woke it up back again almost immediately (about 1 minute later) by pressing the space bar. But for some reason, the iMac woke (with normal fan noise) and then immediately fall back into sleep (after being about 10 seconds awake). A "proper wake up" was not possible, since it was sort of an infinitely loop of waking up and falling asleep. A reboot via the power button was necessary, whereby the fan went back to 3800 rpm.
And then I performed this Onyx-run (as mentioned in my first post), and afterwards the iMac went to sleep mode automatically. It stayed in the sleep mode for about an hour or so, and after my next wake up call it was cured.
Really strange. Either it was cured by the maintenance-things Onyx did to the cache/system files, or by being in the sleep mode for about one hour. I also can't exclude influence of our Lord, since I was behaving in the last year...
Somehow I have lost my trust in that machine. Even after the fan went back to normal behavior I am still not sure if I should cancel the replacement order... I am open for recommendations from your side.
Best wishes,
Chris

Cpu Fan Problems

Hi everyone, I am having some issues with my desktop. I have an HP Pavillion p6710f and just recently my cpu fan stopped working. I thought at first that it was just the fan itself, so I bought a fan from Best Buy and installed it in my computer. After encountering the same problem with the fan not turning on when I started the computer, I think that it might be the slot in the motherboard that is the problem. I bypassed the motherboard outlet by plugging my cpu fan directly into the power supply. That works but my desktop still thinks there is no cpu fan plugged in because it is not in the normal slot. I went into my desktop's BIOS to see if I could control the cpu fan settings there but I did not find anything.
If anyone can figure out what is wrong with my fan sensor (possibly need a special kind of fan) or how to bypass my specific computer's cpu fan settings please let me know. Thanks!

yeah i cleaned it today
thinking of getting a new one as u suggest
was wondering tho might it be the power supply?
thanks for the prompt reply

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.

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
