KT4 Ultra - SCSI boot problem

Hi,
I have installed a Tekram DC390U2W LVD SCSI adapter on my KT4 Ultra. My problem is that I cannot select any of the five connected SCSI disks as a boot device in the BIOS (BBS-n), nor can I select 'Legacy SCSI' as a boot device, they simply don't exist as options in the Boot Sequence menu. I've used this card (and were able to boot) without problem using a MSI KT266 motherboard, so I don't think the problem is the SCSI adapter. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've disabled all motherboard options (Serial ATA Raid/1394/USB 2.0/GBLAN/Audio controllers), remove all PCI cards exept the Tekram card and tried it in all PCI slots without success. Also tried to assign different IRQs to the SCSI card in the BIOS. Tekram support responded that the SCSI card is fully PnP/BBS/PCI 2.1 specification compliant and they're unaware of any KT400 issues. There are issues (and work arounds) with this SCSI card when using it on motherboards with an on-board SCSI controller and older Award BIOS versions, but that's not applicable here.
Anyone out there using this SCSI card and motherboard got this combination to work as intended?

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 and FastTrak 376 issues.

I recently purchased a KT4 Ultra and installed it on me computer. Everythings fine, it boots and the bios recognises my IDE devices. It won't allow me to enter the bios though and it just sits there with the screen displaying this.
FastTrak 376 (tm) BIOS Version 1.00.0.18
(copyright info)
Scanning IDE drives
any help would be greatly appreciated
thx alot )

NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. TRY DISCONNECTING ALL IDE DEVICES, CLEAR THE CMOS AND PRESS DEL BEFORE THE PROMISE BIOS LOADS.
MAYBE YOU'LL GET INSIDE TO DEACTIVATE IT FROM LOADING AT INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS - ONBOARD PCI CONTROLLER - SEARIAL ATA CONTROLLER.
DO YOU HAVE AN SATA HDD? YOU COULD USE ONE FOR TRYING TO SETUP AN ARRAY IN THE PROMISE BIOS (BY PRESSING CTRL+F AND THEN CHOOSE THE AUTO CONFIGURATION). AFTER THAT MAYBE YOU CAN ENTER THE BIOS.
YOU CAN ALSO TRY TO FIND AN MODDED BIOS FOR THE KT4-ULTRA THAT DOES NOT LOAD THE PROMISE SATA BIOS BY DEFAULT.

Problem with KT4 Ultra and XP 2700

First excuse my bad english (i'm from Germany)!!
I have a heavy problem with my KT4 Ultra.
First my system:
AMD Athlon XP 2700
Mainboard: MSI KT4 Ultra (MS-6590) Bios vers. 1.1
MSI Geforce 4 Ti 4200 64 Mb
512 Mb DDR Ram Apacer Technology 512 MB 16x(32mx8)DDR-SDRAM PC2700U-2533-700(CL2.5 upto 167MHz)(CL2 upto 133MHz
Sound : Onboard
GlobalWIN CAK38 II Kupfer
Powersupply: Levicom 420W
Win XP SP1
Now the problen:
When i turn the FSB in the Bios up to 166MHz
the system crashes on Windows startupscreen!!
I've turned the FSP clock down to 164 MHz and Windows starts.But when i runned 3DMark2001 it crashes back to desktop !!
Then i turned the FSB clock down to 159 MHz and the system runns stabile!!
Now what i've already tried:
Turned down Ram timings and frequency (same prob.)
No heatproblem (CPU at 118.f)
Had the same system exapt an XP1800 instead an XP2700 and no problems!!
Called the MSI hotline (Germany) and they told me to type the FSB manually in the Bios (insted of numblock +and -). ?(
Still the same problem !! ;(
Has anyone the same problem as i ???
THX !!

Hi,
I would try other ram....
Or start from BIOS default settings and only change CPU-FSB....
See what happens...

KT4 Ultra and PC3200 speed detect problem

Hi all,
I am new to the forum, having just bought a KT4 Ultra for my new system. It features the following components:
KT4 Ultra (sorry not sure of model number as I'm posting from work, but I checked for BIOS updates and there's only one which looks like a USB2 compatibility fix)
1 stick of 512Mb PC3200 memory
AMD 2700XP+ (333FSB) CPU
ATI Radeon 9000 128Mb (this will do until DX9 cards available
Intel 100 Pro network card for my ADSL hub (my KT4 did not come with onboard network socket)
350W power supply
Win2K Pro SP3
I have two problems. One is that the machine won't ever shutdown - it always reboots. Having done a search of this forum, I will check the "Wake on LAN" settings in the BIOS as of course, plugged into an ADSL router, the LAN+WAN is constantly live... so I'm hoping that will be fixed later today....
But, the second problem is one of performance - in that with the initial auto detect settings, the BIOS found a 1500+ CPU and 400Mhz memory. When I manually change the bus speed to 166, the CPU is recognised correctly as a 2700, but the memory dropped down to 333Mhz speed. If I then disable the autodetect for the memory and manualyl set 400Mhz and CAS2 speed, I can't even get to the BIOS screen on bootup. I get 4 or 5 short beeps, nothing on the display and need to short pins 2+3 of JCAT1 to reset to factory defaults.
Any idea how I can get my PC to boot with the correct speed memory (ie PC3200@400)?
Thanks for any tips,
Mike.

Hi
I have the same problem when I set FSB to 200Mhz - DDR to 400Mhz and on boot screen i always see DDR 333.
I make a test and when I use 152Mhz FSB (or up) DDR Always is 333Mhz no maters than in Bios is saved DDR400.
My system is
t-bred 1700+ (133x10.5) fabrique unlocked
MSK kt4 ultra (6590)
bios v1.1
256mb ddr 400 samsung c3
msi g4200td 128mb
60gb maxtor diamond max
I make some tests
CPU on 200Mhz FSB x 8.5 multiplier, or 8 or 7.5 or 7 (1.575V)
MEM always show DDR333
WHY ?
It is possible to run FSB/MEM sincrhony on 200Mhz ?
I also make a mem tests with Sandra 2003 when
I use 200Fsb x 8.5 and Bios DDR 333 and
200Fsb x 8.5 and Bios DDR 400
the results is the same .
I'm sure that On boot Screen DDR information is right.
and always DDR is on 333 mhz wneh FSB is more than 152mhz No mather what you set in Bios ( 266 or 333 or 400)
And other strange thing is:
with my previous locked XP 1600+ (10.5 x 133) I can run on 166FSB / MEM with this DDR (samsung) on max aggressive settings 2.5 2-5-2 1 Ultra
now with my new CPU i can't run on 166FSB less tnah 3 3-6-3 2 Normal ?
Thanks in advance.

KT4 Ultra and a PNY GF2 TI 64 meg power problem

Okay here is my problem...
I have a KT4 Ultra with athlon 2400+ and 512 of 333mhz 2700 DDR Ram.
I also have a True430 430 watt psu from antec.
I installed the motherboard and proc and everything else fine. Stick in the PNY geforce 2 TI 64 meg card in. Plug power cord in and hit the powr button nothing..
I know I have all the power connections hooked up corretly.
So I get a TNT 2 M64 and pop it in and the machine boots up fine and I can do everything normal.. any ideas??!?!

Did the PSU even start and the fan spins? Or it's a totally DEAD machine?
This could either be
1. the card is 3.3V/1.5V and the board refuse to run with it.
2. the card when slotted in has shorted some part of the casing.
We can't do anything if this is an incompatibility issue. My last suggestion would be - change the display card or the motherboard.

KT4 ultra and Randeon 8500 stability problem.

This is my pc:
Msi Kt4 Ultra (6590)
Athlon Xp 2000+
512 mb ddr pc 2700
Ati Radeon 8500 Ret.
maxtor diamondplus 8 80gb
Pioneer DVD 16x slot-in
Asus ISDN Adapter internal
Skystar 2 DVB sat Adapter
Power Supply 300 W 5v - 22 A
3,3V - 16 A
Ok, i see your FAQ and i know that my power Supply is too small in fact under games my system sometimes freeze, but there's another problem, sometimes i see a white jolt on my monitor ?( , can this problem depend on too small powersupply ??
my monitor and my video card is ok under another system works great !!!
Bye

True, IF the specs are presented that way. Some obviously are, some obviously are not, and others can't even be deduced with a decent degree of certainty. It definately does not apply to power supplies such as Antec's truepower models however, as +3.3 is not derived from +5, where the load of one doesn't effect on the other.
What I'm saying is that there are no standards that PSU manufacturer's stick to when presenting their specs. Its buyer beware. Without knowing the simultaneous load conditions they used, third party calculations are no more than educated guesses based on assumptions, and we both did that.

KT4 Ultra and PNY 8x Ti4200 Problems!!

I am having alot of trouble getting these two to cooperate. I have installed the latest drivers, and the latest WHQL drivers, for the video card and updated DirectX. Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. I am not a gamer, so I don't have alot of experience with nicer video cards. Anyway, here's what is happening:
When doing certain tasks (one of which is accessing a Microsoft Outlook Web Access webpage with IE), the computer completely locks up. If I access that same webpage with Netscape, it's fine. Now, here's how I know it's the video card or the motherboard. When I go into display properties, advanced, troubleshooting, if I 'downselect' to disable 'DirectDraw and Direct3D hardware acceleration', everything works fine. Any ideas?

Ah, sorry about that. I was so frustrated last night that I completely forgot. My system is:
Athlon 2200+
MSI KT4 Ultra
Netgear Network Card
Onboard Sound (CMI)
Liteon 52x CD Writer
Western Digital 180 Gig HD
Antec 300 Watt True Power PS
I would've thought the Antec would be more than sufficient. I can try putting in a 400 or 450 to see what it does, I suppose... Before I shell out the money for that, I'll wait for other suggestions. I was hoping I had a setting fouled up somewhere. :(

KT4 Ultra-BSR - Drive problems?

Yesterday I purchased a KT4 Ultra-BSR. I am doing a clean install.
I have an Athlon XP200+, 2 x 512MB DDR Ram (PC2100).
On IDE1 I have put 2 x 20GB Western Digital HDs.
On IDE2 I have put a Pioneer DVR-A04 as Master, and a 100GB Western Digital HD as the Slave.
On IDE3 I want a 30GB Western Digital HD as Master, and a 40x Liteon CD-R/W as Slave.
I have installed Windows XP Pro (SP1) from new, and I have installed all of the drivers and utilities from the Drivers CD. My motherboard was shipped with BIOS Version 1.1
When I boot into Windows, I do NOT see the CD-R/W at all.
Also, the only way ro see the HD that's on IDE3 is when it's configured as an array (even though there's only one HD).
I would have preferred to have two HD's on IDE3 but NOT with any form of RAID configuration - is there a way of doing this?
Many thanks

I did it the simple way: Used Fujitsu-Siemens' Plugfree setup instead of the incredibly buggy MSI drivers. Then it worked perfectly with my PocketLoox and Ericsson T39. The hardware is the same. But still the range stinks (max 20 feet on my system), so I bought a full WLan setup instead.

You've misunderstood my problem. I have the MSI KT4 Ultra-BSR motherboard which has a bluetooth module which needs to be connected to the motherboard, however, I don't know how to connect it (PHYSICALLY).
Therefore I need someone with the same board to tell me how they did it.

KT4 Ultra and SATA

I have a KT4 Ultra that supports SATA Raid and Im looking at getting a new HDD. CAn I run my old PATA HDD with a SATA HDD without it being in raid format or do the disk have to be in a raid format.

Hey guys, how about this:
MSI KT4 Ultra SR, Win2000, PDC 20376 Promise Serial ATA chip on board. WD 40gig IDE hd as primary on IDE 1. Attached a Maxtor 120gig SATA to the Serial ATA 1 connector. While booting did NOT setup an array. Windows 2000 in Disk Management under Device Manager/Disk Drives has now two folders, one for the WD and one that says SCSI Disk Device. It's also also recognized under System Information/Components/Storage as SCSI controlled by the Fast Track 376 controller. Is this a proper way to setup the serial Maxtor as an extra single drive in the system attached to the Serial interface? Is this even possbile? My problem is that while the drive is recognized as a SCSI disk device as described above, it is NOT seen under Disk Management as a new unformatted drive with a new letter. Assuming the above setup is correct, how do I format the drive so Windows can use it? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

KT4 Ultra and WD Hard Drive

I have just purchased a KT4 Ultra (MS 6590) motherboard and have a real problem.
I also have a Western Digital Hard Drive (WD100JB)
Unfortunatly there appears no way that this board (or its BIOS) will accept this drive.
As soon as I get to POST it fails to recognise the drive when connected properly with all jumpers in the correct positions.
So I then dissconnected all other drives and just set it to Master on IDE 1 and it did detect it but then said it was incompatable and failed to boot up.
I was unable to boot up at all even setting the BIOS to Default.
I placed this drive back in my other PC and it booted first time.
Whats the problem ...? any ideas?
Thanks
Pete

Yeh Ive's tried all these things including removing the BIOS battery
The problem I have with this board is that it will not use any Hard Drive !.
What hapens is that the Drive is detected OK in the BIOS.
It then tries to go to POST and BOOT and returns an Error saying "Atapi incompatable HD" !
I have tried different drives and still get the same result !.
I have changed the cables and also tried setting the drive to “Master” with no other drives on the computer but it still comes up with the "Atapi incompatable HD " ! Error
I think there must be a BIOS problem not loading drivers for ATAPI devices or something like that'Any Ideas?
This board is brand new straight out of the box?

KT4-Ultra-BSR Video problem

My PC was running fine. I have the KT4 Ultra BSR with XP2200+. I WAS running a TNT2/Riva 32MB GFX Card, and all was OK. I then bought a new graphics card - a 64MB Triplex Xabre-Pro (AGP 8X). I installed the card, but with it installed, the PC would not even attempt boot.
I took the card out and put my old TNT back in, and the PC worked OK.
I tried the jumper settings on the Triplex card, but it still failed to boot.
NOW the PC won't boot - even with the TNT card in, BUT it will boot WITHOUT a gfx card (although it gives the customary beeps).
What am I doing wrong here?

OK, well it IS a 3.3V and 5V PSU.
I have tried booting withou the NIC installed, and it made no odds.
I have cleared the CMOS
I didn't remove the TNT drivers, but I don't feel like that's the problem since the machine does not power up.
I have tried a combined 300W 3.3V / 5V PSU that was in the machine before the gold PSU and it doesn't power on with that one in either.
On BOTH PSU's the machine WILL boot without either of my 2 graphics cards in it, but will not boot with either of them (whereas it did at least boot with the TNT before)

KT4 ULTRA FISR SATA Problem

I really need some help here. I have a KT4 Ultra board with SATA Interface and a brand new Seagate Barracuda 120 GB. On to the problem .. when i booted up the computer for the first time, it detected my disc. After that .. i was testing som different settings in the BIOS .. and had to clear the CMOS Now .. it won´t detect the drive at all. It says something about "No drive attached to the FastTrak controller. Bios not installed/loaded" I have installed all drivers and stuff that came with the board but no luck. Is the driver loaded into the BIOS from the beginning or? How do i get the d*amn board to detect it again? I can´t even enter the bios setup (for the SATA controller.. ctrl+f) So .. i can´t really do .
Help!

It says jumper (Factory only) so i don´t think u are supposed to jumper it. It´s master by default. At least that´s what seagate claims =) Or?
