KT4 Ultra - 4 leds in RED (Urgent)

I have a mb KT4 Ultra (MS-6590 v1.x) and cpu 2200+ .
When a turn on the pc all fans are working but the system dont boot, all 4 leds are red.
i just have enable the USB legacy support in BIOS and them save and exit , the pc hangs up , i reset pc and then the the 4 leds are red and dont boot anymore.
I make all i know for fixing but i´m out of ideas   i dont know whats happend.
I clear the bios in jumper jbat1 and take out the 3v battery and dosent work.
What happend to the CPU??   Can anyone explain this...
My system:
KT4 Ultra (MS-6590 v1.0)
AMD ATHLON XP 2200+
2x256MB DDR333
G4Ti4200-TD 128mb
WINXP Prof. SP1a
PSU:
 Model LC-A300ATX
 AC-I/P|  115/230v~ |    8/4A       | 60/50 Hz
 DC-     | +3.3V  +5V | +12v  -12v | -5v   +5VSB
 O/P     |    20A   30A |   10A   0.8A | 0.5A   2A
+5v & +3.3v COMBINED LOAD 160W
TOTAL OUTPUT IS 300W

It would help if you tell us all you have done to fix problem. But I can say that 10 A. to 12v. line, seems very poor. I would disconnect all USB peripherals to see if PC boots. Also if before enabling USB legacy you connected USB brakets on Mobo's pinheaders, I would disconnect them too.

  • Urgent help with MSI KT4 Ultra

    hey,
    off my folks yesterday i got...

    i thought i had it all setup right with the HDD in IDE1, DVD and CD-RW in IDE2 and floppy in the floppy bit...
    at 1st the CPU cwas only clocking at 1250mhz, but then came here and sorted that prob..... (Sperad spectrum then adjusted the FSB to 166mhz ) then after that, when i go to boot up i got.... "no device connected to the Fasttrack controller...bios not installed" then browing through the forum i found how to "solve" that problem... ( disabled the Serial ATA thing, dont know if thats right .... ) but now i dont get that "bios not installed" line any more.... all i get is a flashing line in the top left of my screen....
    so to sum up....all i get now is.... that flashing line......what could be goin wrong?
    Thanks in advance.....a very distressed...

    This is an AMD board, so I will move your post to that forum.

  • URGENT- Removing KT4 Ultra

    hi Guys,
    This is the first time I have ever done this (removing Kt4 Ultra) so would be very grateful if you could help. I have looked in the manual but there is no help on removing the motherbard and the holes don't seem famiiar. I have tried using a screwdriver but it doesn't seem to release the motherbaord. Any help appreciated.

    Of course you removed first all cards inserted in slots and CPU/HSF and cables connected to Mobo. If you don't know where are the Mobo's holes you should take a look to the base plate where screws are inserted, so you'll have an exact idea where you'll find screws heads. For this, you have to take off side case cover. If not screws were used to mount Mobo, most possible plastic stand offs were used so you'll see white plastic points you can cut, freeing this way Mobo. Almost all Mobos has 6 holes ( 2 lines of 3 holes or 3 lines of 2 holes, 4 in the squares and 2 in the middle edges of Mobo) Take care when using screwdriver, as is easy to scrach Mobo.

  • PC doesnt start with KT4 Ultra

    After building the KT4 Ultra into my PC it doesnt start, i can see only a black screen and all of the smart led at the back are red! I've already changed the CPU and checked everything twice, but it still doesnt work! (CPU = AMD XP 2100, RAM = 512MB 333 DDR)! HELP ME, What is wrong?

    Hi,
    It could be a few things like:
    CPU not cooled correctly and thus thermal CPU protection kicks in....
    CMos bat clear jumper not set in the correct position, must be 1-2 to keep data....
    Powersupply to little to start the system....

  • KT4 Ultra & ATI 9700 & Black screen HELP

    Hi guys,
    After first uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and then powering down and removing the Geforce 4 card, I installed a brand new ATI 9700 that I got from Mwave.com for $199.00. When I turn on the power all I get is a black screen - I can't see anything on the screen but I can see my computer trying to post by watching the lights on the drives and observing the D-Bracket.
    The D-Bracket is indicating a system hang on "Testing base memory from 240k to 640k and extending memory above 1MB using various patterns". Led's 1&3 red and 2&4 green.
    I did hook up the 12 volt adapter that came with the the board at two different locations just to make sure there was not a problem with power. I also checked for the presence of voltage at the adapter right at the card with a volt meter (12.3 volts). I also swapped the power connector from the floppy to the video card. The cooling fan on the card is coming on. I made sure the power connector was connected prior to powering up my system. I also tried clearing NVRAM. What is wrong??? Any ideas out there?  Do I have a bad card right out of the box ???
    For now I had put my Geforce4 Ti 4200 back in so I can use my computer again.

    for one try removing one of your memory sticks,,try that first,,,make sure your fsb of the cpu and the memory are 166,,,,it will auto detect the 8x agp if the card suports it,,,,,,do you have the card setted all the wat,,,,,,,,,,double check memory settings,,this card i have found does not like fsb messed with or the memory fsb messed with.....set memory to spd,,,,good luck

  • Follow up to 1.3 BIOS on KT4 Ultra

    Cured my two problems
    1) Extra mouse pointer in games
    2) Stuttering in games
    How?
    By going back to BIOS 1.2
    Can only assume that BIOS 1.3 was rushed out without sufficient testing. It MAY fix IDE transfer problems, but on my system which is SCSI anyway it introduced the two problems above.
    Definately starting to wonder if I should go back to Abit, this is my first MSI board, and probably my last, the way things are going.
    KT4 Ultra
    XP2600+ 333fsb
    512mb Corsair XMS DDR 400 running at 333
    Adaptec U160 SCSI
    SB Audigy

    BIOS 1.25 is a BETA BIOS, meaning it's unsupported by MSI. AFAIK, it might fix the Optical mouse LED stays ON even PC has powered off.
    For those have PS/2 Optical mouse, please test this beta BIOS against this issue.

  • No optical-out sound on MSI KT4-Ultra!!

    Hi, I have recently set up a system based on the MSI KT4-Ultra board. I'm using an Athlon XP 1700+, a Radeon 9000 video card, and I've installed Windows 98.
    Although all the drivers and audio applications which MSI provided installed fine, and 2-channel audio from the on-board sound chip works great both for music and for the 3-4 games I've installed so far, I can't seem to get the optical SPDIF port to work! I bought a cable and connected the computer to my Sony MD-player and attempted to copy my CDs onto MD. I go into the MSI control panel and check the box to enable SPDIF-out, removing the speaker cable from the analog line-out just for good measure. When I plug the optical cable into my MD it recognises digital input and prepares for recording. I press record on the MD and play on the computer's CD-player app, but the MD LED shows "no signal". I'm pretty sure both the MD recorder and cable are OK since I've used them to copy CDs from a Kenwood portable CD-player quite recently, so it must be the MB that's giving me problems. Indeed, when I've stopped playback in the CD-player app and went back into the audio control panel, I found that the SPDIF box had been unchecked of its own accord. I've tried this several times, and I've unplugged the S-bracket and reinstalled it all over again just to make sure it was plugged in properly, and I still get the same problem. All audio works fine except optical out! Haven't got a coaxial cable or recorder so I can't check if the coaxial port is equally buggered or if it's just the optical, but I'm getting really annoyed here: this was the one feature I liked best about this board and the only one which isn't working! Any ideas, anyone?

    dude, i think i can get u ur signal, but currently i can only get silent recordings, u may have better luck.
    on the minidisc, there should be a switch or button that will toggle synchronised recording on and off, turning it off should get u a signal, but it wont be in sync wiv the cd, ie u cant trust it to form track gaps.
    hope that helps, done flame me if it dont, if i manage to get substance to my recording, i will send u the info just in case.
    take it easy

  • Beeps on a KT4 Ultra

    Ok this is the problem.
    I have an KT4 Ultra with an AMD AthlonXP1700+ that emits a single beep.  ?(  Not continously but every 1/2 minute to a minute.
    Sometimes it is quit for the whole day and than it starts again.  X(
    There is nothing in the manual about beeps comming of this board.    
    The D-bracket is showing 4 green LED's so everything must be good.  :D
    Further specs:
    WindowsXP Pro
    Norton NSW 2003
    A lot of other software.  :D
    Who knows what those beeps are for and where I can find more info on them??

  • BG2 probs with KT4 Ultra

    Hello,
    While installing Baldur's Gate 2 on my system, I get the following error:
    "CRC Error: the file xxxxxxxx.xxx does not match the file in the Setup's .cab file. The medium you are installing from may be defective. Please contact your software vendor."
    Underneath I get a prompt with "Abort", "Retry" and "Ignore" buttons. This error appears at several points during the installation process and in reference to several files.
    I am running a dual-boot configuration with XP and 98. Under XP, pressing "Retry" makes the hard disk LED light up for a few seconds before displaying the error again. Pressing "Ignore" makes installation continue, until at some point (not always the same) the system reboots itself. Under 98 pressing retry sometimes allows the installation to continue, however it still stops and displays the error message again when it gets to the next problematic file.
    I have ruled out the likelyhood that my installation disks are indeed corrupted by trying to install the game on a friend's computer right after the first time I got the error, and it worked fine. I have also installed the game on both of the two different computers I used over the summer (one was running XP, the other 98, both worked fine). I have tried with both the originals and the backup disks and I get the problem both times. Also, the game used to work on my current computer as well, until a severe crash forced me to reinstall Windows. When the error occured, I assumed it was due to a faulty OS installation and therefore reformated and reinstalled Windows yet again, and it still happened!
    I'm running an Athlon XP 1700+ (not oc'ed) on an MSI KT4-Ultra motherboard, with 256MB RAM and a Radeon 9000. Windows XP has all the latest updates and all the latest hardware drivers installed, 98 has all the latest hardware drivers but no updates. Micro$oft's knowledgebase claims that the problem is caused by a third-party device driver, and I tend to believe it, as the same game installed from the same disks worked fine on the three other computers I installed it on, as well as on mine the first time round. The only thing in which my current configuration differs from my previous configuration and the configuration I'm running on now is that the first time I installed WIndows on this computer I was NOT using all the very latest drivers as I hadn't been connected to the net yet. Therefore, if it really is a driver, my guess is it would be MSI's motherboard driver.
    My issues are:
    why does this happen?
    how do I determine whether it is MSI's driver causing it?
    what does this CRC error message thing mean?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Do an EXACT search (quoted) of the error at google - sometimes that pulls up the result (had for me MANY times with install issues)

  • KT4 Ultra reboot before booting

    Ok, this is going to be long, but I'm hoping one of the details will give somebody a clue.  I'm going to stick in details I don't think are relevant even.
    The components relevent to this story:
    KT4 Ultra Motherboard
    Addtronics 300W power supply
    Athlon XP 2400+ cpu
    Windows XP SP1
    2 seagate 120gig SATA drive in a mirrored RAID config
    A cheap off brand UPS.
    This machine had been up and running about 9-10 months on the current install.  The machine was ROCK solid.  I ran this machine 24/7 with reboots only for getting rid of adware or stuff like that.  Never did I see a blue screen or any bad behaivor.  And I never even bothered to cycle the power during this time.  Sounds good right?
    Well I'm doing some work on the carpeting in my office, so I shut it down and moved the machine to a different room.  Well I got everything plugged in and powered it up, and to my surprise it started doing a chkdsk (the in boot chkdsk) since it wanted to, I let it go.  Well as I watched I could see tons of errors coming as I'm watching this many of the files where clusters were being repaired were in the Windows/system32 directory.  So I'm thinking to myself I'm screwed (which is true), as I see the names of vital system files going by.
    So after completion it automatically reboots (chkdsk forced it), so I get to the screen where the login should be, but no press ctrl alt del to begin message but instead I get a box saying a service (lssas i think) specified invalid parameters.  I click ok, and I having nothing but a solid blue screen.  I press ctrl alt del and nothing, so I reboot again.  This time I get the same error, but I also get the ctrl alt del to begin message, and I press, I then enter my login message.  It does stuff for a second and then reboots.  
    So now I let it reboot again, and during the reboot it powers down.  I was confused by this.  I pressed the power switch, and I could see the power, hd leds blink for a sec and then blink off and the PS doesn't even start.  So I press again a few times and get nothing.  I leave it alone for awhile, come back and it powers up again.  Same error, same login attempt, same power down.  
    I grab my laptop from the otherroom and plug it in to the same wall socket (directly not through the UPS) that my UPS is plugged into.  At that instant, it goes in to power save mode (too quick to be normal power saving), so I quick unplug it, and plug it into the ups.  As I plug it in, it it comes out of power save and operates normally (that's what I'm working with).  So I'm thinking something is wrong with the power outlet (I will pursue that tomorrow), so I go and grab one of those indoor/outdoor orange heavy duty extension cords and plug everything into a different room, and all seems to be working fine.  
    So at this point i try my computer again, same thing.  I decide its time to repair the winxp install, so I boot off of the XP cd and load the RAID drivers.  Right at the screen where it says R to repair, something to install, something to exit, I choose repair, and it immediatly powers down.  I did it again, and this time it powers down a second after this screen comes up.
    So this is where I am now.  I think I had bad power or something, and I now suspect that the PS or the motherboard might be bad.  But since it really consisently powers down at the same point, im confused as to what the problem is.
    Anybody have help to offer?

    It may not be a virus but when you said Lsass  
    It may be the PSU.

  • KT4 Ultra capacitor failure & fire

    The other day I heard a popping sound and smoke began to come out of one of my computers equiped with an MSI KT4 ULtra mainboard.  Upon inspection I found that a capacitor had failed just below the Promise SATA 150 controller chip.  The heat from the flame burned some of the cabling from the power on switch and the pc internal speak wires plus burned up several of the small nearby resistors.   Ironically the system still runs!!!!   I have no idea why this happened,  the computer has been running flawless for the past two years.  Has anyone else experianced this kind of problem?    
    MajorDan

    Thank you for responding.  Can you tell me what motherboards are affected by this problem?  Is this just a fluke?  Has MSI made an official announcement or acknowlegment of this problem?  The reason I asking is because I have 3 other computers that use this same  board and now I'm very worried.  Here is a picture of the damage.  Be advised that I have removed the USB cable from the blue connector and the 4 led diagnostic cable which were both slightly burned.  I never used the extra usb so a short is not a possbility.  Also I instinctivly pushed the capacitor back over to an upright position before taking this photo.

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Volcano 9 Cool Mod

    I am building a system using the KT4 Ultra FISR and a 2800+.  I am also using the Thermaltake Volcano 9 Coolmod fan which has LEDs on the fan.  My question is this, the board has two sets of Power LED headers, a two pin and a three pin.  The Coolmod is supposed to plug in to the Power LED header.  Is it possible to use the three pin header for the fan and the two pin header for the case?  I don't want to lose the front LED.  I know Thermaltake says don't wire both front panel and Coolmod to the same header, but it doesn't say anything about two different headers.  If someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.  I hope I made myself clear.    Thanks in advance.

    Do you mean to use the two pin JFP1 Power LED for the case and the 3 pin JFP2 for the Volcano mod? I dont think it should be a problem, my LED's are mixed and matched between the two headers.  You could test it with a multimeter to see what the output of one header is while the other is connected to its LED.

  • Is FSB overclocking above 175 MHz possible with KT4 Ultra?

    I would like to squeeze a few extra MHz out of my AMD XP2600+ (without unlocking or other hardmods that cost money if they fail...). I have upped the FSB to 175 successfully, which gives me just above 2200 MHz CPU speed as reported of Motherboard Monitor. But when I go above that, it crashes. Upping the voltage from auto (1.65 on my system) does not seem to help. A guy on an overclocking board suggested that it's because it stops in the AGP/PCI slot since there is no lock of those speeds. Is this possible in any way, or are there any other dirty tricks to use so I can get more speed out of this?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    thanks!!!yes, it really seems to be a power source issue...
    i am using a powerline 450W power source, and the smart doctor utility form asus reported a reading of red marked warning 3.12 volts intead of 3.3 volts, also i tested the 3.3 rails using a multimeter while the system was on and capture drivers under conflict and it reported a 3.25 voltage.....i opened the power source's box and clean its dust, and so, the problem is not happening anymore!!.anyway smart doctors is reporting a 3.15 voltage instead of 3.3 (not in red or under warning message)and the multimeter is reporting 3.27. but everything is working fine: capture and tv out fetures while using the processor as an athlon 2800+ for the first time since i bought the motherboard........
    the 5 volts line is reported by the multimeter with 4.95 volts after and before the problem was happening, same with smart doctor.
    the hardware i used was:
    -two MSI kt4 ultra boards
    -kt4A
    -an intel motherboard which i don't remember its brand, using dimm pc 133 memory(using anoter power supply)
    -asus v8460 for all boards
    -same ddr memory for all msi motherboards
    since the voltage is still not 3.3 volts reported, even if the entire video card is working fine, and i only cleaned the box, and didn't change anything to its structure, maybe the problem could happen again, i guess i should buy another power source then.
    i am very thankful
    Andres.
    PD: i see that a lot of people is having this kind of problem through the forum and maybe its due to this voltage stuff too....maybe it'd be a good idea if a sticky thread  is posted repoting this stuff i believe. (if it hasn't yet of course)

    [INSTALLATION]
    2.1 Prepare a Driver Diskette
        You will use a diskette to load the new Linux driver onto your PC.
        1. Obtain a new, formatted diskette and label it "FastTrak Driver Disk."
           Insert it into your PC's floppy drive.
        2. Extract the contents of the driver file you downloaded from the
           Promise website onto your floppy disk. Use either WinZIP in Windows or
           Unzip in Linux to extract the files.
    2.2 To install the FastTrak Driver into an AN EXISTING SYSTEM:
        1. Boot your Linux system and login as root.
        2. Insert your FastTrak Driver Disk into the drive.
        3. Type the following commands:
           # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
           # cd /mnt/floppy
           # sh install   
           Answer Yes or No during setup configuration. Yes loads the FastTrak
           driver every time Linux boots.
           # cd ..
           # umount /dev/fd0
        4. Reboot your PC.
    2.3 To install the FastTrak Driver into a NEW SYSTEM :
        1. Start the RedHat Linux Installation booting from the CD ROM.
        2. At the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux ..." installation screen, look for
           the "boot:" prompt at the bottom of the screen.
        3. At the "boot:" prompt, type "expert" (without quote marks) then press
           the Enter key.
        4. At the "Devices" dialog box, insert the FastTrak Driver Disk in the
           floppy drive then select "OK" or "Yes".
        5. Continue with the system installation normally.
        6. When the "Congratulations" menu appears, press Ctrl-Alt-F2.
        7. Make sure "/tmp/fd0" has been umounted and with the FastTrak Driver
           Disk in the floppy drive, type the following commands:
           # chroot /mnt/sysimage
           # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
           # cd /mnt
           # sh setup-ft
           # cd /
           # umount /mnt
           # exit
        8. After successful FastTrak driver setup. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 and click
           the "Exit" button to finish the installation.
    [POST INSTALLATION]
    3.1 To verify FastTrak Driver Installation:
        1. During the partitioning phase, check the Disk Setup screen.
        2. If the installation was successful, you will see the SCSI device
           adapter, shown as /dev/sda (or sdb,sdc,...).
    3.2 Interface Notes
        1. To see information on your array(s) and the Driver version number:
           a. Launch your terminal emulation program.
           b. Type "cat /proc/scsi/ft3xx/x" , x is SCSI host number,
              then press Enter.
    this should get you up and running.  there is one thing also.  you have to configure lilo or grub to boot from the sata (/dev/sda2 -on my machine).  if you have trouble i will post a .iso image that you can make a boot floppy with that will boot you system.
    anymore questions.  just ask.   good luck it does work

  • Kt4 Ultra wont post after XP SP1 update

    Hello i have had this mobo for close to 6 mths and have had no problems untill a few weeks ago. It started to intermitingly boot to no video w/2fast beeps followed by 4-8 other beeps. D-Bracket 2 shows 1.2.3.green 4.red. RTC (Real Time Clock)  Just upgraded to Windows XP SP1 and now it will not boot unless cmos is cleared. But any attempt to change bios settings and reboot, gives the same problem. Even with default settings it just gives a white bar at bottom and hangs. I have taken it completly apart 4-5 times, and have tried different components (Video card, CD/DVD, PSU CPU Ram) from all my other pc's still same problem. Anyone have any ideas? Oh yeah Yes it is a legit copy of XP!!!
