KT4 Ultra PCI slot not recognising Audigy

Just wondering if you guys could help me out on this.
I have a KT4 Ultra mobo with two of the six PCI slots occupied by a generic/Conexant ADSL modem and the card part of an Audigy 2 Platinum eX. Everything was working fine until two days ago. Then, I opened my case to read the details of the PSU (for a proposed graphics card purchase that has now been canned due to said PSU being underpowered). However, when I booted up again neither the sound card nor the modem were recognised in Windows. I rebooted several times and the problem remained. So, I removed the case and moved the cards into different slots. I booted up again and there were 8 beeps, a pause, and then a further 2 beeps, but nothing appeared on the screen. I moved the cards around again and ensured that they were seated firmly in the slots. The PC then booted up but nothing appeared on the screen. I fixed this by pushing the graphics card (Radeon 9000 Pro) more firmly into its slot - presumably it had come unseated somehow when I had opened the case. This time, the PC booted up and, although the modem was recognised, it would not connect. I reinstalled the modem drivers and then it connected and functioned fine, however the sound card remains undetected. Should I try to reseat the card in its current slot or should I move it to a different slot? I just don't want to cause another problem by disturbing everything!
Apologies for my general newbieness: despite being a computer science student I have never built a PC myself and would consider myself a novice when it comes to the practical side of PC hardware. I guess I should take apart and rebuild the nine-year-old PC that is sitting in the garage!
Thanks for your help,
Nick

Dual SCSI pci adaptor not recognised by solaris 9

I have Solaris 9 O/S installed on an enterprise 220, I also have a dual scsi adaptor installed with a Storedge D1000 connected to it, however when I do a touch /reconfigure with init 0 or boot -r or a probe-scsi-all the O/S only sees the 2 internal disks. How do i get the system to recognise the scsi card and the attached D1000 ??? IM going banannas here please help!!

Hello,
How do i get the system to recognise the scsi card and the attached D1000 ???
Still the solaris box doesnt recognise the scsi adaptorprobe-scsi-all should display the hba. Remove the external cable. Re-issue a probe-scsi-all. The controller should be displayed without attached devices (no devices found). If not, check at the ok-prompt if the pci slot (that contains the hba) has been excluded from probing (these are the variables like pcia-probe-list or pcib-probe-list). Compare the current setting with the default.
These are the settings from the E220R Service Manual (Part-No. 806-1081-10, page 197)
pcia-probe-list=1
pcib-probe-list=1,3,2,4,5
Use either the eeprom command at the os-level or printenv at the ok-prompt.
The thing that has me a little confused is that the terminator is saying that it is LVD and
not HVD which i would assume it would be.It's the wrong terminator (SE or LVD doesn't work) ! According to the Sun System Handbook's D1000/A1000 full components list the correct terminator is Part-No. 150-1890, Differential SCSI Terminator, HD68.
Have you tried to reseat the hba ?

KT4 Ultra PCI multiplier

I read one post written by maesus that said:
FSB over 152MHz > PCI Multiplier is 5, not only in 166Mhz.
I say that SiSoft Sandra show wrong value of PCI frequency.
What, if exists, one good program to show PCI frequency correctly?

H61M-E33 B3 - PCI slot not working ?

Hi,
I've plugged a working (tested on another PC) WIFI DLINK PCI card on the motherboard (H61M-E33 B3) and it's not detected by windows 7 64bits or by the PC itself (the on card green LED isn't lightening).
I've updated to the latest version of the motherboard BIOS with Live5.
Except that, the PC is working fine.
I've an Intel icore3 and 8gb of ddr3 ram.
Anyone ever had this kind of problem ?
Thx

Most likely a compatibility problem. Might check with the card manufacturer for any update information. Other suggestion is to contact MSI Tech Support with a ticket reporting the problem. They may be able to look at it from their end. http://support.msi.com
I'll try that, thx.
The PCI card is a DLINK DWA-547 wifi card, in case you ever read problem about this one.

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.

KT4 Ultra MS-6590 - Win XP Home boots with 2GB DDR333 installed but not 3GB

Spec...
KT4 Ultra MS-6590
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (FSB set to 166MHz in BIOS)
BIOS MS-6590v1.4
Win XP Home 2002, SP3
Problem...
Previously, had 768MB RAM installed, and XP strangely identified CPU as a 2200+.
Recently upgraded the RAM to 3GB DDR333 (3 sticks of 1GB 184-pin unbuff DIMM 128MX64 DDR PC2700), and changed BIOS settings for CPU and DRAM.
In the DOS boot screen, Win XP progress indicator fills completely from left to right, then stops with a half-blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
Removed 1GB stick and Win XP successfully loaded, also now recognising the Athlon XP 3000+, and running a heck of a lot faster.
Tried adding the /3GB switch to the boot.ini file, which didn't do anything, and after reading more forum advice, guessed this might be irrelevant. I don't think this is a 4GT and PAE issue, as I'm not trying to install above 4GB (if I've correctly understood).
Also, forum advice (various sites) conflicts on whether Win XP 32-bit is limited to 2GB or 4GB, and I can't find any workarounds for my current setup.
Any ideas?

Another test I've done is to enable boot logging with Win XP. This appends command lines to the file 'ntbtlog' in the windows directory, which mainly shows drivers being loaded as Win XP is launched. The log is normally date and time-stamped for every boot-logging session.
When all 3 sticks are installed, I cold boot, then press F8 and select 'enable boot logging' from the options menu. This is what appears on the screen as the system, attempts to load Win XP.
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\hal.dll
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\KDCOM.DLL
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\BOOTVID.dll
Loaded driver ACPI.sys
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\WMILIB.SYS
Loaded driver pci.sys
Loaded driver isapnp.sys
Loaded driver viaide.sys
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\PCIIDEX.SYS
Loaded driver MountMgr.sys
Loaded driver ftdisk.sys
Loaded driver PartMgr.sys
Loaded driver VolSnap.sys
Loaded driver atapi.sys
Loaded driver disk.sys
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\CLASSPNP.SYS
Loaded driver fltmgr.sys
Loaded driver sr.sys
Loaded driver PxHelp20.sys
Loaded driver KSecDD.sys
Loaded driver Ntfs.sys
Loaded driver NDIS.sys
Loaded driver Mup.sys
Loaded driver BTHidMgr.sys
Then the process freezes and a solid white block appears in the top-left of the screen, with the top-right corner of the block blinking.
At this point, I turn off the PC using the main power switch, then remove the 3rd memory stick. After booting up again, with only 2 sticks installed, opening the text file 'ntbtlog' reveals that this boot event wasn't logged.
So, I reboot Win XP with only the 2 sticks installed, and select 'enable boot logging'. This time, the above list of loaded drivers is shown in the text file, plus a whole lot more. The potentially interesting observation is the next in the list after "Loaded driver BTHidMgr.sys" which is "Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\amdk7.sys".
'amdk7.sys' is a driver file which seems to come with one of the Win XP Service Packs, and which "is necessary to enable Windows XP support for AMD PowerNow! technology on computers that use a mobile Athlon 4 or mobile Duron processor." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306458
Various other posts refer to it in relation to AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Mobile, whereas mine is a 3000+ in a desktop. Also, if 'amdk7.sys' isn't available, then Win XP will load the generic driver 'processr.sys'. In fact, my 'ntbtlog' includes the entry "Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\processr.sys" which would make sense.
However, my curiosity is that with the 3 sticks installed, Win XP fails to continue loading when reaching 'amdk7.sys' in the driver list.
Another test I did was to change the power management settings in the BIOS.
"IPCA Function: This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Management Interface) function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such
as Windows 98SE/2000/ME, select Yes. Available options: Yes, No."
This was normally set to Yes. When I set it to No and rebooted with 3 sticks installed, instead of a half-blinking white block (as described above), the screen went black and then the system rebooted itself...
The plot thickens!...
Maybe there's a clear explanation for this - however, I'm wary of doing something to the 'amdk7.sys' driver file (whether removing or disabling it somehow) in case it prevents Win XP from launching with just my 2 sticks installed. I'd guess there are precautions, but need further info on whether this is relevant, and what the implications might be.

KT4 Ultra not even powering up

I've just finished pouring many paychecks into the assembly of my new computer. On a recommendation from a friend I decided to go with MSI's KT4 Ultra for my motherboard.
Unfortunately I'm on my second KT4 Ultra after a regretful burning of the first one with an older video card (ATI Radeon 7000 2x/4x AGP) I was later to learn was a "murderer of motherboards".
Anywayz...the second one was running perfect but still needed some tweaking as it was reading my Athlon 2700+ as a 1500+ and I still needed to hook up an old IDE harddrive as I was just using a SATA harddrive.
So I first changed the FSB to 166 MHz...it booted up and recognized my 2700+. So then I tried to install my IDE harddrive using the first IDE slot. Then after that she decided not to power up any more.
I've pretty much checked everything and disconnected everything and still it will not power up at all. I'm supicious that it might be the new PSU (Kingwin KWI-450W 3-Fan)that might be the problem although that's what I'm hoping:P
So I'm pretty much out of ideas as what to do other than buy another mobo...one that's not MSI!!!!!

X( If you find an answer, please let me know. I can't get my KT4 Ultra to start up either. I finally got it to start and it was running fine, then I had to do one more restart and blammo, it won't get past a green light on the top left indicator on the 'dbracket'.

Pci-6221 card is not recognised with DAQ

I have installed NI DAQ 7.3 and monted a PCI-6221 and PCI-MIO 16E-4 cards. The PCI-6221 is not recognised by the software.

The card is supported by NI-DAQmx 7.3 and should be recognised by the PC without trouble. Can Windows see the card at all?
Check the specification of your PC's Motherboard. M-Series cards require the PCI bus to supply 3.3V, 5V & 12V. Some PCI slots may not provide these required voltages.
Hope this helps!

HELP!!!!! 915GM Speedster-FA4 PCIe x1 slot not working - SORTED

Hi, I am at my whit’s end with this motherboard, I cannot get the PCIe x1 slot to work. When I use the PCIe x16 slot it recognises the option card OK but the x1 slot will just not see it.
I know the network socket 1 needs to active for the PCIe x1 slot to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
SORTED - IRQ clash with the onboard boot ROM for Lan socket 2 - NOT DOCUMENTED - MSI PLEASE TAKE NOTE

Sorry there is no MSI in here....
It seems that nobody used that config to be able to help.
And no, I'm not from MSI either

HT1476 my iPhone 4 will no longer charge. It is also not recognised in iTunes. There seems to be a problem with the connector slot. I've tried other cables and other computers/plugs but the connection is not being made. Any suggestions?

It seems to me that the connection port is faulty.

KT4 Ultra Problem - Melting and stuff...not good...

Hi folks, I just got an MSI Kt4 Ultra motherboard and plugged all my stuff in and turned it on and this little black component of the board (0.5cm squared roughly) basically melted and was kinda catching fire...
So, I turned it off quickly and took out my netword card, modem (PCI card), the bluetooth option that comes with the board and the S-Bracket thingy that comes with it and then turned it back on and there wasn't any problems.
OK, now, the little black thing that was burning was, from the picture below, the one next to the southbridge black square...to the right of it, just left of those two white circles.
Any ideas? Should I be worried? What could have caused this? Could it have been one of the four components I removed? Do you expect further problems...ie - my computer catching fire?
Any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I had this exact same problem with my ECS K7S5A board.. my problem was that the voltage for the PSU wasn't set for U.S., it was running the higher voltage, which caused that same small black chip to literally smoke and fry inside my case... left a great smell in there for awhile too. Hope this helps in some way.

MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR + Ati Radeon 9700 pro = not good??

Hello everybody!
First of all, i youst have to say that i think MSI have the best motherboards....
Here's the problem (i haven't buyed anything yet!):
I am going to buy MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR and ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, but i have read many places that Radeon aint working with MSI KT4-based cards! Im am going to buy an 520W Power (i aint so good in english so i hope you now what i write :D )
I am also going to buy 2 x Cosair pc3500 xms ram... Is this one working with the motherboard by the way?
But my question is: Will the Ati Radeon 9700 pro work with this card? (i must remember to buy the 1.3 version!) I am gonna get my Radeon 9700 pro from USA, how can i now when i order that is an 1.3 card?
Thank you for answering! :]

I think also that even there is two drivers, that is not a reaseon why it isn't work. One time I install only standard VGA drivers, but result was that I got two standard VGA driver. 8o
First time I try without VIA drivers, then with 4.42 and 4.43 VIA drivers. Result was almost same all the time, it always crash when Nature test start, but this exist also to older mobo (Abit KT7A-RAID). Problem exits few games they lock up or stuttering. Ati demos works fine, but one time that car demo stuttering a lot, but I transfer data at same, so I'm not sure what was reason.
This moment I don't have possibilities to try Hyperion 4.45 drivers or something else, because it's my friend computer.

KT4 Ultra - FISR = Bluetooth or not?

I have a KT4 Ultra FISR motherboard.. Do I need anything else to make bluetooth work or not.. I've seen several threads that say this board does not need any antenna because one of the USB headers has it built in.. I've hooked it up to the motherboard as it says.. Yet, even after installing the Bluetooth software from MSI's site it dosen't show up under device manager at all. And it dosen't find my Sony T68i phone either. Am I supposed to have something else, to make this work? Like I said, I have no antenna or card that I got with the mobo, should I have?

At our local shop that sells a lot of msi mobos, the bluetooth mobos have the antenna and module in a seperate box taped to the mobo box. I think that is probably the way they are meant to be sold, I asked and they said that is how they come. I think some retailers may be taking the bluetooth module and antenna box off and selling it seperate from the mobo, I would call and asked the place you bought it from. This seems to be a widespread issue.
