KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton Bios setup question

Hi Guys
I have just recently bought a KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton. Having browsed over to the cpu support after not being able to get my machine to register a 2600+ from the bios i looked up the support to see that is doesn't support that processor in the list can someone tell me if it does and how i need to setup my bios to register is a 2600+ or near,  as i can only get about 1.5 ghz out of it at the moment. I adjusted the fsb to 140 and the system hangs on powerup and i get nothing but it gives a memory error from the d-panle. Any ideas? should i just be running the fsb at 133 or 166?
Setup includes motherboard + processor listed
512 crucial ddr 333 pc 2700
radeon 9600 256 agp 8

Never really worked with AMD before first time, not really understanding if i have made simple mistakes.

Right bit of an update
I have the machine ticking over quite nicely @ FSB 133. This i can increase to about 155 and then it dies. So again i have tried to run it at 166 and i get the blank screen the the d-plate registers a Memory Detection Test and stops there.
I have tried to run the system from start at the FSB 155 and i get the same problem with the system hanging.
I have been reading a bit on the forums and found that it might be my power supply. I am using
A-CASE INDUSTRIAL INC (Says AMD recommended, a bit old though)
model : LC-A300ATX
3.3v - 20A
5v - 30A
12 - 10A
5 and 3v combined = 160w
300 watt max.
Also i have the crutial memory mod in there which i also realise could be the problem.
I was hoping if someone could maybe help me identify the most likley course from how the system is acting to what the problem might be, also could it be to do with the CPU temp.
cheers

  • TS1362 I am running windows xp with all the updates. I have an HP Pavilion with an AMD athlon xp-m processor.  I have the most RAM I can install on this PC (1 gig). I also have plenty of disc space(over 60 gig). Why can't I play my .MOV files correctly.

    I cannot get the .mov files I recorded on my I-phone 4 to play correctly( i.e. no audio, video jerky at best), on my HP Pavilion laptop with an AMD athlon xp-m, OS=XP, 1 gig ram, plenty of hard drive space >50 gig. Just not enough RAM or am I missing something? I have updated all I can(Quicktime, I-tunes etal). Any ideas?

    My first thought when reading your post ( video jerky) is that the CPU doesn't have enough horse power? What is the GHz of the AMD athlon? 1.8 GHz would be right on the edge with video. And where the computer will max out at 1 Ghz of RAM indicates the laptop is older and the CPU probably as well. 1 GHz of RAM maybe low on today's computers but would not be an issue if the CPU was perhaps 2.8 GHz. The audio is less demanding by far on CPU's than video, so that could be a codec?

  • I have a HP Pavilion p6710f with an AMD Athlon Quad-Core processor takes 10 to 12 minutes to boot

    I have a refurbished HP Pavilion p6710f desktop, with an AMD Quad-Core processor.  About 4 weeks aog I reformated the HD and reinstalled Windows 7 Prof and the rest o my software and it ran fine for about 2 weeks then it started taking 5 to 10 minutes to boot up in morning or to restart.  I had downloaded a couple of things and I uninstalled them and it did better, but gradually over the last week it has started taking 10 to 15 minutes to boot up or restart.  With either it takes a few seconds to get the HP stuff in the middle of the monitor, then in a few seconds it loads the choices (Function keys for setup, recover, etc.) then it takes 4 to five minutes to show "windows loading" the 3 to 4 minutes to show the 4-colored windows logo and then up to 5 minutes to load my icons and be ready to run--once all this is done everything runs fine until I need to restart, and then it is 10 to 15 minutes again to get up and running.
    When I redid everything about 4 weeks ago I made an image on an external 1 Tb HD that is always connected thru a UBB Port and this morning I recovered and It reinstalled it, but it did not help.
    Don't think it is the BIOS battery as it doesn't lose time.
    Hope someone can help me

    Seems to me that your hard drive is gonna fail soon, trying running hard drive diagnostics from the BIOS.

  • Is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ compatible with windows 8.1 64bit?

    I have an older build with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor.  I have been reading about Win 8.1 64 bit compatibility issues regarding certain AMD processors.  My question is...
    Looking at my system information under processor, it shows  "cx16 CMPXCHG16b instruction" in the details.  From what I have read, the problem with older AMDs is that they are missing the CMPXCHG16b instruction set.  Given the info
    above would it be safe to say that my processor will be able to run the 64bit version of Windows 8.1?
    Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
    -Nick

    Hi Nick,
    Yes, as you know, to install a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit PC, your processor needs to support CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF.
    There are some other requirements for Windows 8.1, please read this guide:
    System requirements
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/system-requirements
    So please contact AMD support if this model meet the requirement.
    I also would like to suggest you run Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your computer could running Windows 8.1 before you install it.

  • Very slow performance AMD athlon processor

    Hi,
    I'm working on Windows 2000 environment with an AMD athlon +3000 processor, and 1.5GB RAM.
    I just installed VMware 5.0 and Linux AS 3. As soon as I rebooted the virtual machine and after having installed Linux, the guest OS (Linux) performance is very very poor.
    Do you have any suggestion about how to solve this issue?
    Thanks
    Gilson Sirvas

    Where does the Oracle software come into the picture? If this is a generic vmware issue please post on VMware's community forums..
    http://www.vmware.com/community/
    that will be much more effective.
    In general defragmenting the HD is very helpful, also allocating more memory to the Guest OS will make things run faster. look in the vmware.log make sure IO is not taking too long, look for things like:
    Jun 12 04:24:11: vmx| SCSI0:0: Command WRITE(10) took 7.347 seconds (ok)
    that means that a single IO took 7 seconds, that's very very slow.. move the VM to a faster (internal) HD.. Finally check with vmware, there might be an issue with the AMD processor, not sure...
    If you figure it out and the solution is interesting, please take the time and post here so that others can benefit.
    good luck,
    Saar.

  • OCI 9.0.1 and AMD Athlon Processor

    Hello,
    I have a client who is using an Oracle 8.1.7 server and is connecting from workstations running OCI 9.0.1 (the 9i R1 client). This is working fine except for on one workstation. The only known difference with this machine is that it is using an AMD Athlon processor (all the others are Intel processors).
    The behavior appears to be that for floating point numbers, Oracle/OCI is telling our product that the numbers are integer numbers (no decimals). Thus, my application is not displaying the decimal places (since it is being told there are none).
    All other workstations work fine.
    Any ideas? I am wondering if there is a known issue with the AMD Athlon processor and the oracle 9.0.1 client...? I am attempting to convince the user to try the 9.0.2 client, but I don't want to waste his time.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Rob

    Thanks Adrian.
    I'll try to get him to run a straight select, but I don't even know if they installed SQL-Plus on the machine. He hasn't exactly been cooperative (I've asked him to check other areas of my application and he doesn't) so I don't know what he will do.
    As for the sqlnet.ora file, I am not sure what to look for in there...? or do you suggest blowing it away and starting over?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • 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...

    Stay lit, but no way you (can) reach BIOS? Do you know how to clear CMOS? Perhaps it is looking for a PS2 mouse or keyboard, some booting device, or something completely different. Don't forget to pull power cable if you clear CMOS.
    I guess you have checked for visible damage to the mobo, extra stand-offs behind it, and loose connections already.
    If above doesn't work, the next step for me would be to reseat the processor. And next to dump the mobo.
    Edit: Of course, the processor must also be controlled or tried in another system.
    Yes no extra stand offs, and the board looks to be in perfect shape.  came like it is... and the connections are firmly seated. hdd, power etc, all firmly plugged in.  
    happen to know if the 1500+ wprks on the k7n2 delta2 platinum? 
    only other AMD board in the house. 
    *Edit* Cpu seems to be fried, turns out my son got to more than just the old mobo.  the cpu is an amd athlonXP 1700+ based on the numbers on the chip.  and yes it does work with a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. and no my CPU does not work.  thanks for the time and extra eyes.

  • My AMD Athlon XP 1700+ isnt giving everything with K7N420 Pro...Help

    Like it says in my topic, I have an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ and the K7N420 Pro mobo.
    Normally, my Athlon XP 1700+ would have to run at 1.47ghz but somehow, it only runs at 1100mhz...
    Now my question is why? Is it maybe the FSB? If so, how, and to where, should I change it?
    Thanks in advance..

  • FX5900XT-VTD128 Board hangs with Mother board ASUS A7NE8X-E de Luxe and AMD Athlon 3000+

    Hello Folks,
    Please, I need your Help !!!
    I bought a new FX5900XT-VTD128 Board and I am trying to install it in my new PC and it hangs the PC. It has just frozen it and I can not access neither the Bios or anything else. If I use my old Nvidia 4, everything works fine. My Mother board is a ASUS A7NE8X-E de Luxe and Monitor is a LG Flatron 17" Model: T710SH. The Bios of my PC is the last version liberated by ASUS version 1012 E. My Processor is an AMD Athlon 3000+ DDR 400 - The PC has 1GBDRAM (DDR - 400).
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Kingfisher,
    Thanks for your help.
    But the Video Cards hangs in the Boot moment, before MS Windows XP comes in and the driver begins to act. My concern is a hardware conflict or a incompatibility or even hardware defect.
    What kind of troubleshooting is ideal ?

  • AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton Core) will not post at FSB 166 MHz.

    Per top of the board “stickys” I have read a great number of the post on this board and done my homework to provide as much technical info to help you help me. This should explain some of it’s lengthy nature.

    However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p
    •   Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ.  (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU

    I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.

    No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
    I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
    Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.

    And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
    Take a look at my original box sticker:
    *As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712   Ver:10A
    *The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
    K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
    Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.
    Just saw this: Latest Official BIOS : KT4 MS-6590 (1.4), KT4V  MS-6712 (1.8 ) , KT4M MS-6596 (1.1)>>Here: [VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards

     Please also keep in mind I’m not trying to scuff anyone’s shoes…I just want to get what’s right for my board so that it and the CPU can live up to their full, "as advertised" potential and run with the other 3 big dogs under my desk.
    This seems descriptive enough and rather lengthy. Just doing my homework and reporting my findings so I won’t include actual CMOS settings unless requested. I have notes on all settings I currently use to boot with this problem.
    Other Dogs:
      ASUS A7N8X-D running Athlon XP 3000 barton core 10 (runs fsb 400..whoknew?), Mem:2.5gb Super Talent
       ASUS A7M266-D running Athlon XP 2800 (mp), Mem: 3gb Super Talent
                                                   Athlon XP 2800 (mp)
      I don’t want to boar you with the details.
    Yes, and the above have been upgraded w/new chips GFX cards and BIOS,,, NP.
      Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
    Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated. 

    Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
    Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
    Long version:
    Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
    1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
    2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
    You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
    At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

  • K9N Neo-F and AMD Athlon X2 AM2 6000+ (125W)

    Hi Everyone!
    I want to upgrade my PC, now I have:
    MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard
    S/N: 601-7260-010K0609058577
    MS-7260 ver. 1.0 K9N Neo nForce 550, AMD AM2
    CPU: AMD Athlon X2 AM2 3800+
    RAM: GoodRam 2x512MB (667) and 2x1GB (667)
    GPU: Zotac GF 8800GT
    Now I want to buy:
    CPU: AMD Athlon X2 AM2 6000+ (125W)
    RAM: GeIL 2x2GB (800) Black Dragon II
    My question is: can I use this new CPU on old motherboard?
    Have anyone similiar configuration?
    In this topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108896.0 someone has the same motherboard and CPU, but talking abolut PSU...
    Waiting for help :-)

    I was looking for a 125watt board too and its really hard to find one from MSI that have the things I want, I cant even find a board with Nvidia chipset, amd2+ and support a 125 watt processor (or not tested OK yet) or some boards without a cpu support list yet. So no AM2+ for you if you want a 125watt processor on it and a nvidia chipset. is there any reason why MSI cant fix 125watt support?
    If you dont care about a future quadcores upgrade you can buy a old AM2 board, but dont forgot to look at the cpu support list, because the most AM2 boards doesnt support 125watt either.  ???

    That is not true, 125W support usually have high end mainboards.

    Here are they:
    K9N2 SLI Platinum/K9N2 Zilent ==> http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1443&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171
    K9N2 Diamond ==> http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1438&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171
    AM2+ Nvidia chipset boards, not only support 125W, but support 140W CPU too.
