KT4 Ultra + 2600 AMD XP

Ok, cleared CMOS - installed the new cpu
everything turns on and of course BIOS says there is an error with bad/default BIOS settings so the 2.16 Ghz is running at 1.2 Ghz but I cant get it to load windows ... any ideas if this is BIOS tweaking settings, or a format is defintely needed, id like to salvage some MP3s ;[
KT 4 Ultra
AMD XP 2600+
Radeon 9700 Pro
768 MB DDR

I don't think it's time to format.
First of all you need BIOS version 1.2 or older, preferably the latest. Then clear CMOS and go with default settings. You migh need to force your FSB to 166 and set multiplier to default.
Good luck

  • MSI KT4 ultra and AMD ATHLON 2600+ and Corsair 512Mb 3200

    Hello,
    i've bought a: MSI KT4 ULTRA and a AMD ATHLON 2600+
    Today, i've updated the bios to the version 1.3! So: no problem to reboot after the process complete.
    BUT, now i can't set the CPU at 2.16Ghz (280Mhz clock) because if i set the clock up to 100Mhz it doesn't reboot anymore! the motherboard detect the frequency @ 1250 Mhz :(((
    Please: HELP ME
    (sorry for the grammar and / the english) but i'm a french guy.

    Hi,
    I had the same issues, see the thread:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=11717&boardid=13&styleid=1
    Essentially I had to set (in the BIOS) the FSB to 166 and left the Multiplier on auto.  This ment the processor was reported properly as 2600+, but the memory will only run at 333 MHz...  Yeah I think I wasted the money on getting the latest and greatest memory too....
    Had me worried for a while, I though my supplier had palmed a bad chip off on me....  It just that the board can't do the highest speed chips and the highest speed memory at the same time (it states that that is unsupported in the manual...)
    hope the helps...

  • Kt4 ultra w/amd 2.4gh

    I'm trying to install the kt4 ultra with an amd 2.4mh cpu using win98.
    If I download the drivers from the disk provided, windows will hang up at the point at which the pci driver and/or the usp drivers are installed.   If I don't install them, I get a yellow "!" on the system device list and I can't get the usb to recognize my scanner.
    Can anyone help???
    I can be reached at [email protected]

    the 4in1 or Hyperion drivers are specific to Via Motherboards - the one that comes on your mobo's cd is version 4.43 i think - from memory, after that version Via renamed the drivers to hyperions - funky name. If you have old or obsolete drivers installed this may affect how your mobo works with it's devices. you need to get the VIA Hyperion 4in1 v4.46, released 10 March 2003 from :here:
    it is entirely possible that installing these drivers may not solve your problem - but at least give them a try - failing that remove the devices causing the problems from your device manager and let windows auto detect them after a restart.

  • Incorrect KT4 Ultra mobo & AMD processor speed

    Hello everyone,
    This is somewhat interesting. About a few months ago, a friend and myself built my system and it's been working fine with my games, AutoCad and all. It includes a KT4 Ultra mobo and an AMD XP 2000 processor, etc.
    I didn't realized it then, but when I check under "System" icon under "Control Panel", it indicates that the processor is running at 1.25 mhz.
    I know that the XP 2000 processor should run at 1.667 mhz, so why is my computer indicating the wrong speed??
    The processor came in the original sealed AMD box w/ fan and all info.
    Should I run another speed test from another software??
    Is the mobo setup incorrectly and running the processor slower than it should be?? or the mobo running the processor fine, but showing the wrong speed??
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    P.S...I have also ran the "System Information" under "System Tools" and it also shows the wrong speed.

    Check your motherbaord for the correct jumper. The board is set at 100Mhz jumper, but should be set for 133Mhz. Also, check your bios and make sure 133Mhz frontside buss is enabled. Listing computer specs might help things, too.

  • MSI KT4 Ultra and AMD XP3200+

    Hi,
    Is it possible to run an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ on the MSI KT4 Ultra Motherboard?
    I know the motherboard supports FSB200/266/333, but will the cpu work if I manually set it to FSB400 in the bios?
    Thanks for you help.

    I don't think the cpu is unlocked, it is an original 3200+.
    I thought you need an unlocked cpu if you want to overclock the cpu.
    I just want to leave the multiplier on auto and set the frequency to 200MHz (its original setting).
    The reason I need to know is that I stupidly bought the cpu without checking my motherboard FSB support and I cant return the cpu.
    I have not received it yet and wanted to know if it was possible to get my computer up and running even if the KT4 Ultra does not officially support FSB400.
    Would there be any harm in trying the cpu in my motherboard.
    If anyone has managed to run an AMD XP3200+ cpu on a MSI KT4 Ultra, please let me know.
    Thank You.

  • KT4 Ultra and AMD XP2600+

    I' m using an KT4Ultra board with AMD XP2600+. BISO Version 1.3. FSB is set to 133MHz and cpu-factor to auto. Bios show XP2000+. The MSI CPU list recommanded FSB 133MHz and CPU factor 16. I tried to set these but CPU-factor is only possible to 15 in BIOS. Is there any out there who could help me to fix these problem  ?(

    there are 2x versions xp 2600 one fsb 133 one fsb 166
    it would make sense yours is a 166 version

  • Serious problems with KT4 Ultra

    Hi,
    I am having very serious issues with my KT4 Ultra board.  Before I go any further here are the specs:
    KT4 Ultra w/ AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (not overclocked)
    512 MB PC3200 RAM
    BIOS V. 1.4
    40 Gig HDD ATA 100
    ATi Radeon 64 DDR Vivo
    PC Alert 4 Temps:
    System: 38*C
    CPU: 41*C
    Apparently everything is within normal specs.  However, when I go to play a game like Half-Life my computer often spontaneously reboots itself.  I have tried changing/upgrading drivers for almost everything.  
    Another problem is my onboard sound.  It as of late now plays everything in a distorted way.  Drivers that I have tried to download for it come up with the message "VIA AC`97 NOT FOUND" Essentially the drivers from VIA dont even think my sound is there (oh but it is.)  I had to settle with windows update for this as nothing I can find on this website works.  Last but not least, sometimes when I am browsing the web or doing almost nothing, maybe chatting on IM or something, my comp freezes solid.  Nothing will work except the reset button.  These problems have just lately come about and they are very frustrating.  Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

    Read my page on lock-ups and reboots as this can be many things.

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Radeon 9700pro

    OK, I upgraded my MB from the k7t266pro to an Kt4 Ultra.  I also upgraded to an AMD xp 2500+ and new DDR 333 ram.  My video card is the ati 9700pro.  This card functioned just fine with my old board as I never crashed.
    Since I have upgraded I have not been able to play any 3d games!!  all the games start and are playable for 2-5 mins then it just completely freezes my system.  i cannot even do an end task and have to hit the reset button to restart the PC.
    I am running Winxp home edition and am fully patched.  I have also upgraded the bios and installed every new driver from the live update utility.  i have the latest drivers available from ATI as well.  
    what gives here?  I have searched Google and various other sites and i have run across many many threads with people having identical problems with this board and video card.  my thought is that it is not the video card, as it ran flawlessly on my old MSI board.  i do PC support and system admin for a living and 99% of the time I can resolve PC problems on my own, however, I am at a loss with this one.  I have been a loyal MSI customer as this is the 4th MB i have bought from you guys over the years, but i can't help feeling disappointed right now.  any ideas?  This stinks as I was so looking forward to the upgrade in performance and now i got jack.

    300w PS (AMD approved)
    Maxtor 30bg ata 133

    I took the advice of some of you and got a Antec 430w TruePower PS to replace my old one.  Still no good.  I was a little skeptical about the new PS thing since I run a pretty minimal configuration.

    As you can see, pretty sparse.  I soley use this box as a gaming type PC, so I try and keep the load light.  At this point I think I would like the board replaced.  Like I said, the 9700pro worked like a champ on my k7t266 pro, I doubt it is the new AMD CPU... so that leaves just the memory or the board at this point.  I mean, driver wise I am using the same drivers as those that do not have problems.  I am going to buy some high-end memory to eliminate that issue, but I highly doubt that will make the difference.  I hope I'm wrong though.
    Oh, BTW the option to change the AGP slot back to 4x is locked out for some reason.  That kinda pisses me off too.  I mean, at least give me the option to bring it back down to 4x.

  • Still Cannot do anything on this board(KT4 Ultra)

    So in the beginning I bought this new system, here are the specs:
    (Original Specs)
    MB: MSI KT4 Ultra
    CPU: AMD XP 2200+
    RAM1: 512MB PC2700
    RAM2: 512MB PC2700
    AGP: Nvidia Ti4200 128MB
    PCI(All):Empty
    IDE1: 80gig Western Digital
    IDE2: literon 16x DVD
    PSU: 300W
    (cant think of anything else)
    So when i got it home, I could not Install Win2K AT ALL, No matter what i did or tried still would not install.
    So after awhile i said forget it and install WinXP, worked installed fine(or so i thought).  I installed SP1, d/l all the updates. d/l VIA 4.45 and for the graphics card i d.l the latest certified drivers. Well i thought i was in the clear, but then i started getting errors or problems while trying to run games or 3D apps(cinema4D). So i went through all the forums and ended up replacing the PSU witha Antec true power 480, and the CPU cooler with a volcano 9. but still nothing but problems so i took it back to my dealer and they deemed the mobo bad or something and gave us a new one.took it home and still Errors, did a fresh install of winxp(win2k could still not install)Still erros everywhere. so i took back to them again. and they claimed this time that the cpu cooler was to big and wasent makeing full contact, and gave us a smaller one(i think a volcano7?) i was like alright that is understandable. got it home did fresh install AND STILL Errors.
    I dont know what to do, lets see i cant run 3Dmark2001SE program just quits no error. Quake3 quits,Cinema4D says it has generaded errors and needs to quit. at first PCMark2002 did not work, But i was runnin a test on my harddrives and C: would keep failing, so i looked in one of the logs and said something about memory, so i changed my swap file to D: and boom PCmark2002 went all the way trough its tests, and i could do tests on my c and d without any errors but i still can use 3d apps?
    Any ideas please
    Thanks in advanced
    David

    boy
    "......so i took back to them again. and they claimed this time that the cpu cooler was to big and wasent makeing full contact, and gave us a smaller one(i think a volcano7?)....."
    THATS SO NOT TRUE ?
    Volcano 9+ was a nice copper base, and it makes great contact with the cpu core
    Man i built a simliar PC for a friend:

    maybe, it can be your memory, thats my guess
    or could be you setting AGP8x?

  • No Sound with KT4 Ultra - FISR -- HELP!

    hey
    I got a KT4 Ultra - FISR along with and XP 2400 and other goodies for christmas. I put the machine together and installed 98se, and all of the included drivers the came on the MSI Utilities disk. Everything was working perfectly with it (got 11752 on 3dmark 2001, is that a decent score?) anyways everything was cool except the on-board c-media sound was not working at all.  ?(  I have 2 speakers w/ sub and i have them plugged into the line out spot in the mobo. I have turned the sound on in my BIOS and messed with all the sound settings in windows and still i get no sound at all. I even unplugged the bracket that came with it for surround because i saw it could possibly cause some problems. I then checked all my connections and still no sound.  X( I was woundering if there are any other settings or jumpers that i need to set for my sound to work. Any additional information on how to get my sound to work would be greately appreciated. My system specs are below. Thankz

  • Kt4 ultra power supply XP2200

    Hi. I seem to be getting conflicting info re power supply necessary for my mobo+AMD combo. I have an MSI KT4 Ultra with AMD XP2200 and a PNY GF4 4200 Ti graphics card. The graphics card states a requirement of a 350 watt Power Supply. Reading different notes on this site, it seems that I should aim for anything over 300W min. My new case has a 300W supply giving 180W combined; I also have a 400W supply, but this also states 180W combined. Quoted A-Ratings for the 400W supply are 92W 3.3v, 165W 5v, 180W 12v.
    Should I switch the power supplies to cater for the graphics card, or not bother? Or should I look for a better supply altogether?
    Please advise, Thanks.
    This system is not yet built - and its going to be my first scratch build.

    Try a Topower TOP-470P4 if you are concerned with the available power. It is an ATX 12V / P4 supply, which I am using with my PC. (Specs below.)
    http://www.topower.com.tw
    The documents claim a combined 3.3 & 5 Volt power of 235Watt, which should please you. I run a Leadtek GE Force 4 Ti 4600 with no problems using it.

  • KT4 Ultra crashing/rebooting problems

    Hi all, I've been having computer crashing/rebooting problems when I play 3d games since I got this board. It can happen between 1-40 minutes during a game session and when the computer crashes, the screen would garble up and reboot along with the garbled screen until I cold boot it. I thought it was a heat problem at first but the cpu heat displays at between 34C-39C. Also, when I tried switching out the video card with an older one, the computer works fine during gameplay, and my newer video card ran fine on a friend's computer. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
    System specs are:
    Motherboard: MSI KT4 Ultra
    CPU: AMD AthlonXP 2400
    Power: 300watt
    Ram: PC 2700 333mhz DDR 256MB
    Video: Gainward Geforce4 Ti4200 Power Pack Plus! Ultra 650 64MB
    Sound: Onboard
    Thanks

    by the sound of it try a bigger psu,antec enermax over 400 watts
    make sure fan on cards not loose

  • Serious kt4 ultra issues (xp 2600+)

    pretty much
    my kt4 ultra will not run the 2600+ on the 166fsb
    it just dies between 2-20 seconds of posting......
    on 100fsb its fine (all b it a XP-1250)
    according to the cpu table, it works fine (bios 1.3+)
    the graphics card, memory (using 512mb samsung 3200)
    are all fine
    so im wondering if anyone has any ideas
    TGA.

    I am experiancing the same problem, the support site says to use FSB 133 with a multiply x16, which does not exsist in BIOS 1.4. The best I can manage is a FSB of 133 with the mulitply set to auto. This gives me a speed of 1666Mhz if you use AMD "cpuinfo" utility. Strangly if I set the multiplier to x15 I get a speed of approx 750mhz and the AMD "cpuinfo" reports a actual mulitply of x5 !
