KT4 Ultra: conflict w/ expansion cards

This is my first post, so please be gentle. I recently built new PC for photo editing and want to keep this old KT4 Ultra computer for general usage right beside. Both are running Windows XP Home SP3.
My KT4 computer had HDD crash and after replacement and fresh istallation of XP I initially had following expansion cards inside:
USB Expansion card (w/ 4 USB ports) on Slot 2 (INT B#)
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC on Slot 3 (INT D#)
Terratec EWX 24/96 Sound Card on Slot 6 (INT C#)
Everything was OK until I wanted a LAN connection for sharing of files (mostly) and Internet (via cable modem) between these two. Instead of a broadband wired router I opted for a Gigabit Ethernet card installing it on slot 5 (INT B#).
USB Expansion card (w/ 4 USB ports) on Slot 2 (INT B#)
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC on Slot 3 (INT D#)
D-Link DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on Slot 5 (INT B#)
Terratec EWX 24/96 Sound Card on Slot 6 (INT C#)
Somehow didn't want to have it on slot 1, so close to video card. Unfortunately after this the sound card was dropped by the system, a yellow question mark in Device Manager.
Further I failed to instal my Bluetooth Dongle which I earlier had used succesfully for communication to my mobile phone. Now my Broadcom USB Bluetooth Device is put under Unknown in Device Manager.
I did experience problems with the sound card several years ago in this very same PC. That time I knew little about system and BIOS setting and had to use another PC for audio purposes (digitalizing of tapes and vinyl).
As reference I used the PCI Interrup Request Routing table, found on page 2-32 in KT4's manual. Funny thing is that Sandra XI tells now that my two Ethernet cards having both INT pin A# while by their slots they should be B# and D#. I don't have true understanding what this means though. In BIOS the PNP/PCI Configurations has all slot IRQs on Auto.
Is this conflict easily cured by re-positioning card(s) on other slot(s) or addressing IRQ settings manually, and if so how and in which order? Or should I remove all the cards and install them in certain order...?
I'm quite exhausted as I had some component issues with my new PC and now this KT4 once again rejects my sound card. Maybe I'm better off by installing it on my new PC, but then this failure with Bluetooth dongle, (which I put on the USB port of KT4, not on the USB exp. card.) Oh my, why can't sound card and ethernet card live together!?!
I would appreciate your help very highly.

Hope you get things like you want them!
Eh, made this in 2003, but I'm not sure if it isn't more confusing than anything else:
"The use and sharing of IRQs aren't mentioned in my MSI manual, (due to the APIC function I think), so I had to go to some ASUS manuals. As standards are standards, I believe things can't be to different. If someone has any addings or suggestions please come forward, so I can adjust the table.
*Please note that this is generally speaking and mainly for ASUS boards a few years old!
**Please note that you should not have any sharing with the IDE controller or similar!
***Please note that it is a good thing to have expansion PCI sound cards in slot 3!
****Please note that surprisingly enough it looks like PCI slot 2 would be free for any device, but AGP cards get hot and bigger so it is not a great idea.
IRQ sharing table
PCI 1 shares with PCI slot 5
2 shares with AGP and PCI slot 6, or sometimes with onboard IDE
3 shares not, or sometimes with onboard audio/modem
4 shares with onboard LAN
5 shares PCI slot 1
6 shares with AGP and PCI slot 5
AGP slot shares with PCI slots 5 and 6
USB 1 shares with USB 2, 3 and USB 2.0
2 shares with USB 1, 3 and USB 2.0
3 shares with USB 1, 2 and USB 2.0
USB 2.0 shares with USB 1, 2, and 3
Onboard audio/modemshares not, or sometimes with slot 3
Onboard LAN shares with PCI slot 4
Onboard IDE shares not, or sometimes with PCI slot 2 "
Normally it is best to let Windows or whatever OS you run do the job. Setting IRQ:s yourself is a (too) big assignment.

  • KT4 ULTRA / Promise Fasttrack TX2 100 RAID problems

    I have my decided to retire my old MAXTOR and get 2 WD800JB for my new Promise Fasttrack TX2 100 RAID card. I set the RAID and stuff up everything is working fine but first I realized that my RAID benchmarks are low. I tried different stripe sizes(16/16 - 64/64), drivers and even tried both drives independent on different chanels RAID card.
    I was still using old installed OS from my old HDD and I decided to install new OS on RAID 0 array and see how fast it boots up. I installed windows properly no problems but when I restart the system without WinXP CD in the CD drive RAID card did not boot up, I was getting an error message saying "error booting from the previous device" but when I put WinXP CD back in after cd boot screen it boots from RAID drives.
    My RAID System;
    KT4 ULTRA SR
    Promise Fasttrack TX2 100
    2 x WD800JB
    here is my question; do you guys know any issues between KT4 ULTRA and Promise TX2 card. If no I'll get another card and see if there is sth wrong with this one.
    btw my system is working fine!!!!

    1 got the wd drives either jumperless........stand alone master or cable select
    on the black end of the ide
    2 have you set scsi second to cdrom in bios boot order
    3 never have any other hard drives connected in the box when installing raid either

    Ive just bought a KT4 Ultra motherboard and am now looking for a graphics card. What i want to know is what its compliance is like with graphics cards that are agp 2.0 (2x 4x). ive heard different views from web pages some that agp 3.0 is fully backward compliant with 2.0 and others the opposite, whats the score with the KT4 Ultra board, what cards do people know it works fine with. Im looking in the range of GF4 Ti 4200 - 4600. Any info, help or reccomendations on good cards would be appreciated
    thanx

    any of those cards will work

  • KT4 Ultra--Replacing C-Media with SoundBlaster Card

    What's the best way to replace on board audio with a sound card? Do I have to go into the bios or fool with jumpers and turn off the on board audio  before I install the card and drivers? Or do I just uninstall the c-Media drivers?
    Thanks.

    Hi!
    Soundblaster is definately great card. I have owned several of them, latest one being Live Player 5.1. The sound quality of those cards were okay, but nothing spectacular. The situation was the same with Hercules Fortissimo II card I had.
    Now I'm using the 6 channel C-Media chip of my KT4 Ultra BSR -motherboard. After comparing the sound quality of Live Player, Fortissimo II & C-media chip I was quite surprised because the integrated chip delivers equal quality throught the speakers I use (SB 5100 5.1).
    So I sold thouse other cards & I'm very happy with the sound I have. One bonus with C-Media has been reliable & solid drivers (IMHO SB could learn something here
    PS. This KT4 Ultras BSR is rock solid & i really love it! :D

  • New MSI 6200 TD256 card in a KT4 Ultra (via) board,no boot, no page, help please

    Hello.
    just bought a new MSI Nvidia 6200 TD256  (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127186) and I put it in my KT4 Ultra board (via chipset).  I am using the newest bios (1.4) and Via 4in1 chipset drivers. 
    What happens is when I boot the machine, everything starts up, but I get no PAGE and the D-Bracket is hung at the "testing VGA bios this will print ..." (thats what it says in the manual).
    Now, I've done the best I can to research this issue, but best I can guess is this is a bad card and I should just return it for a replacement... the card does look fine, I see no physical damage and it seemed to be properly shipped. I did read that kt4 boards don't support 3.3v AGP cards... but I'm not really sure what that means.
    Anyways, if anyone has any insight on something I should try before I have to go through the return process that would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    -Cody

    And did you uninstall old V.card before installing new ?
    if it doesnt get to windows, that doesnt matter.
    Quote from: Cazzynomo on 25-July-05, 10:36:30
    I'm using a good PSU 350w atm, and I did check it in another good system...turns out its a bad card.
    ok then its clear its a bad card.

  • KT4 Ultra Graphics Card Upgrade

    I have a KT4 Ultra with an AthlonXP1800+ and for graphics a nVidia GF4 Ti4600 AGP4X card. Used for watching DVDs, no gaming. Would like to upgrade the card but don't know what the consideration are. The KT4 supports AGP 4X/8X and has six 32-bit PCI slots. I would appreciate it if a kind soul would tell me how to begin looking for an upgrade. Thank you.

    hmm... watching DVD, Ti4600 should serve you well. There is not much improvement on DVD unless you're talking a bout HD-DVD format, then probably I'd recommend an upgrade for you. Otherwise, I suggest stay with your Ti4600.

  • KT4 Ultra, Video - Audio Conflict

    Doing an upgrade to a KT4 Ultra with VIA KT400 chipset and Athlon XP 1800. System will not boot past POST with the on-board audio enabled or on-board disabled and a PCI audio card installed.  After the card has been removed or on-board audio disabled it boots fine.  I've tried the PCI card in several locations as well as removed the old drivers.  Nothing seems to improve the situation.  Video is eVGA Geforce 4 AGP 4x card.  eVGA tech seems to think it was a problem with the VIA chipset.
    Any thoughts?
    Jim
    KT4 Ultra, VIA KT400, Athlon XP 1800, eVGA Gforce 4 MX440 64mb, (1) 256 Mb RAM, Win-ME

    Yeah. Check that sound card. What kind is it? I have three sound cards in my computer right now, in addition to the built in and one USB: Soundblaster Live! Value, SB Audigy Platinum EX and one Zoltrix Nightingale pro 6. No problem. So it's a fault, not a common behaviour. I actually have problems with a SCSI card on one KT4 but no problems with it on another one. So it might just be that the two cards does not like each other. I would have to say that computers are like women: We will never fully understand them, and sometimes they give you trouble for no apparent reason, but when they work as they should, they're hard to beat at what they do!  :D

  • Kt4 ultra problem

    hello! i am having a problem with my kt4 ultra.
    it originally booted, but once i hit delete to go into setup everything crashed. now when i boot, i get 2 beeps followed by another 8 beeps.
    i've done alot of browsing through these forums and other sites, and heres what i find over and over:
    10 Short
     CMOS register
     Check the motherboard and remove all expansion cards and replace one at a time.
    i've done this and there is still a problem. am i doing the wrong diagnostics for the 2-8 beep combo?

    i cleared cmos by removing battery and via the jumper method. no go.
    the cpu/mobo/ram/video/ethernet were in another computer and worked previously. i sold them to my friend and had him buy a new case - i got everything setup the first time, booted, hit del to go into bios to make sure all settings were correct. it crashed and now does the 2-8 combo beep.
    previously the mobo was in another case and we used different ram, but i still get the 2-8 beep combo using that same ram.
    spec are:
    350w ps
    kt4 ultra mobo
    athlon xp 2200+
    geforce 4 ti4600
    1 gig ddr 300 ram
    30 gig western digital 5400 rpm hd

  • Expansion Cards any particular order¿ KT4V

    Im trying to pinpoint why my system hangs once ina while,, I have a hunch its the order of my expansion cards,, heres my current setup
    Starting with AGP
    AGP slot Asylum 256mb GeForce 5200 nvidia chipset "primary monitor"
    1st PCI PCTV Card Pinnacle systems
    2nd PCI Silicon Image Sil680 ATA/133 "primary channel=storage hard drive mostly multimedia content" "secondary channel=dvd-rom drive"
    3rd Voodoo3 3dfx graphics card "secondary monitor"
    4th Sound Blaster pci 128 sound card
    5th Creative Modem Blaster V.92 DI5631
    6th OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 FireWire Pinnacle systems
    I dont know for sure but I am quessing I can put my expansion cards in a better sequence on the PCI bus, on my old mainboard I know I had a different order than I do now but I didn't pay attention when I pulled the cards was excited to get MSI mainboard setup,,  I know the the 1st and 6th pci slots share ther same IRQs thats why I used the PCTV card 1st it is IRQ shared compatible, only when you are viewing TV not Capturing, so I felt that I would never capture from TV card and Firewire "on 6th PCI slot" at the same time,,,  My main concern "or question" I have is the Sil680 PCI ATA/133, it should be placed accordingly so it doesn't ever hang up or conflict with the other expansion cards,, when my system hangs its always when it accesses one HD to the Other ,, main HD on primary channel mainboard and 2nd HD on primary channel Sil680 ,, this might not be my problem but any information on this would be greatly appreciated,  I am trying to gain a better understanding of the PCI bus and card placement order, besides the IRQs So I can continue with my process of elimination and eventually solve my problem,, Thank You For Your Time In Reading This,,,,

  • 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)

  • 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 bios

    have a strange paradox regarding disturbing message at boot up.
    when i boot my system i recieve a message:
    "no drive attached to fast track controller.  no bios detected.."
    i love msi boards and have used this forum in past very sucessfully with the assistance of BAS.
    I donated my old system to a freind in need.  It was all of 11 months old and was a very stable system built on a k7t pro 2-ru.  It had all the bells and whistles.  what a mistake.
    my new system is as follows:
    kt4 ultra fisr
    256 mb ddr3200 samsung  (as recommended by msi)
    m-audio revolution 7.1
    ati all in one wonder radeon 8500 64mb
    2-80gb western digital special edition hard drives  
    dvd/cd combo lg electronics  gcc-4320b
    athalon xp 2200
    550 watt antec tru-power psu
    lian li case with 4 fans (of which only 3 work with the power supply while allowing fan monitoring)
    klipsch pro-media 5.1 speakers
    winxp pro
    how i got there to the afore mentioned msge regarding controller and no bios detected...
    I was experiencing a lot of problems with the new set up
    such as:
    1.  system crashes while viewing tv
    2.  unexplained boot up of system in the middle of the    
         night (that was freaky and kind of humorous)
    3.  other system reboots and difficulty of system    
         shutdown
    4.  device driver failure messages regarding the ati card
         such as "atimmc.exe  driver failure"
    all system crashes revolved around the ati card and after recoveries many registeries were messed with as expected.
    all in all I got by with the system as long as i remained off applications involving the radeon card.
    last week I checked into the forum here and noticed issues with this motherboard and radeon cards.
    i went to the ati site noticed updated drivers, and at the msi site, updated bios for the kt4 ultra boards.
    i did not have a floppy so i backed off flashing the new bios onto the board.  I currently have the first version (1.00 or something), the screen flashes so briefly these days.
    i decided to reformat the drives and reload xp onto the new system and then retreive the newer drivers for ati card.  upon installation while reading my neurophysiology book upon boot up is when xp informed me that no bios was detected.   xp asked me if i wanted to continue.  so i did continue with sucessfull installation of xp.
    being quite surprised that i could still get system on board, i am wondering how to get the bios to be detected and if I should try and flash new bios, if this will correct this.  I am also with fresh install of xp having no difficulties shutting down system now and i am no longer having mystery unassisted boots of the system.
    all in all, before the bios problem i was just wondering about the stability of the board with the ati radeon card.
    Now I am very concerned with the message, "no driver attached to fast track controller... no bois detected"
    any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
    Boy, do i miss that k7t board...
    thank you,
    Eric  

    Do NOT worry about the fasttrack controller message!!
    It just says you don't have any serial-ATA disk attached. This is how to get rid of the message:
    In BIOS:
    => Integrated Peripherals
    => OnBoard PCI Controller
    => Serial ATA ---> set this to "Disabled"
    Can't say I experience any of your other problems, although I had some problems with the sound card the first time I installed.
    Seems as if the problems are fewer the more times you install/format the system.....actually experienced that on a couple of MSI-cards. In the end, everything has worked fine for me, so I'm happy with them (except design and layout of the new nForce K7N2G-cards!! ridiculous!)

  • 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.

    I bought a KT4 Ultra last week.  I hooked up everything needed to install my OS (Video and Hard Drive) to install Windows 2000.  It took me a while to get a good install because it would crash in the middle of Win2K setup.  After reading the posts on the subject I upgraded the Bios to 1.3.  I no longer had problems with installing software of transferring large files between CD and HD.  Although a bit slow, it worked.  
    But now I have another problem.   The computer reboots when the CPU is being used hard, like running 3D intensive software.  For example I have 3D studio rendering and then I try to open Internet explorer and computer will reboot.
    I check my PSU by measuring the voltage (with DMM) on the 5 volt line and causing a reboot during CPU intensive activities.  I even unplugged an extra HD and ran my FSB at 100 mhz.  I did not notice any voltage drop and the computer still rebooted.
    I need to decide to if I want to return the MB, before I go out a buy a PSU and find out it did not fix my problem.
    Any ideas.

    Video Card is a
    Video: Compro GeForce3 Ti 200
    HD: Maxtor 30GB 7200 RPM ATA100
    Power Supply (don't know brand name)
    300W, with 150W for both the 3.3 and 5 Volts (at
    least according to the label)
    The computer also rebooted while trying to run
    Nero to copy a CD image to hard drive.  So I don't think its video card related.  I had this video card in my ABIT KT7 with no problems.
