KT6 Delta MS-6590 problem

Hello
I can't set the FSB speed to 166 on my AMD Barton 2500 as it should be after updating BIOS and mainboard drivers. It started like this:
Yesterday I decided to add 512MB RAM to the 1GB RAM I already had. I soon discovered, that I had to update my BIOS in order to make it work (I got the "Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: ...ntoskrnl.exe" error during boot).
I updated the BIOS and now I could use 1,5GB RAM - cool....except the CPU FSB Clock speed was now down to 100Mhz. The multiplier (CPU Ratio) was 11, I discovered that by using an analysing program when using Windows. So basically I was running 1,1GHz instead of 1,8GHz as I did before.
I tried to adjust the CPU FSB Clock and the multiplier, but then I couldn't boot right.
Then I started to install the latest mainboard drivers, just to see if that helped, it didn't.
I need help to resolve this. There has to be a nasty bug in the latest BIOS driver and/or mainboard drivers. I need to run 1,8Ghz, but I cant.
My pc:
AMD Barton 2500 CPU
MSI KT6 Delta MS-6590 mainboard
3 times Kingston PC3200/400 DDR 512MB RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9600 graphics card

I still can't change CPU FSB Clock speed to 166Mhz, but can to 110Mhz though, didn't try to set CPU Ratio again, last time I had to set the jumper on the mainboard to make it work.
What I have done now is to manually tell BIOS what RAM I have, I set it to 400Mhz with latency 3, when it boots it shows 266Mhz though. My RAM modules are Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512.
My PSU is 350W (wasn't sure about the amps, so I didn't write those), and is in a AOpen H600 housing (ATX): http://www.aopen.nl/products/housing/H600series.htm
I haven't tried memtest86 yet, seems a bit too much trouble to need to burn a ISO cd to make the test. I have testet my RAM using CheckIt Diagnostics after I manually set the data, I can pass the test now, so RAM seems to be ok. Must be that darn BIOS software that messes things up.

  • [VIA] KT6 Delta (MS-6590) with GeForce FX won't boot

    Hi, I have an MSI KT6 Delta motherboard and a XP2000 processor, I've been using this with an ATI 9600 All in Wonder graphics card for about a year. I've just bought an Inno3D Tornado GeForce FX 256Mb graphics card. I uninstalled all ATI software with their uninstall utility, shutdown, swapped graphics cards and rebooted. The system did not boot - no beeps (I usually get 1 beep). Looking at my PSU I found it was a 300W PSU and the specs for the GeForce stated it required a 350W PSU. So, I bought a Q-Tec 550W PSU and installed it and tried booting, same result, no beeps, no VGA signal, I can here the fans working but nothing else happens. The D-Bracket on the rear of the PC has all four LED's on in Red. This means there's a problem with the CPU, but if I take the GeForce card out and replace the ATI card, system boots fine (although poor graphics as there are no drivers) I am using 3 memory sticks - 2 bought at the same time and 1 I added later - all 3 have been working fine with the ATI. They are 2 X 256Mb and 1 X 512Mb not sure of the makes and I see from the other posts I should see if the GeForce will work with just one memorey module in place, I'll try that later. When I checked the BIOS with the ATI installed I noticed under AGP settings it only allowed me to select 1X 2X 4X - I don't see Auto as an option as it says I should in the manual. I had all the AGP settings set to disabled with the ATI card i.e. AGP Master 1 W/S Read and Write and AGP Synchronization all disabled - so I tried enabling them, no change. Made sure primary display is set to VGA/EGA. The card has multi monitor support and I've tried my monitor on both the DVI output and the VGA output using the correct adaptor, I've also tried hooking up the Svideo as thats got me out of trouble before, but not in this case.
    I'm out of ideas now, do these symptoms point to a problem, does the four LED's indicating CPU failure mean anything else?
    Any suggestions?
    Other info that may be of use -
    Windows XP SP 1 & 2 and SuSe Dual boot
    Lite On CD burner
    Phillips CD/DVD burner
    Onboard sound and Edirol USB soundcard
    NEC 1525x Multisync LCD

    Hi everyone
    I'm releived to read the greyed out AGP option is normal.
    Hi Frederick! -  When I put the Disks and HD's back I was very careful to ensure they went back correctly although I did swap my DVD and CD around to different Master Slave positions on the same IDE. I keep my Master Slave HD's on the Primary IDE on the basis that when your burning it better to have the data on a different IDE (secondary) so there's no access issues between the burner and data retrival from the HD - which I guess is what your refering to about the install medium being on the same IDE as the HD. I didn't think about being able to change the AGP but looking at the options I don't think I can, if I remember correctly I could with my ATI card. But as long as its all running correctly its ok.
    And the final update to all this -
    After installing Linux I was sure there was nothing wrong my hardware but couldn't understand why windows wouln't install.
    For no particular reason I ran RegClean,rebooted and tried the install again, this time I didn't lose graphics, so I defraged and installed the motherboard drivers, after rebooting I lost the graphics again. Video was still there as before with my LCD delivering a resolution notifier that 1024 X 768 was optimal resolution - so video was present. Thinking I couldn't continue I pressed CTRL ALT DEL a few times to try and restart but then the Windows welcome screen apeared followed by the desktop.So I tried re running RegClean again and rebooted but I still lost the graphics on loading, CTRL ALT DEL bought it back again. I decided to keep going on the basis a complete but flawed install was better than none. I continued and installed Direct X9 defraged and rebooted, no change. I installed the graphics driver, no change after reboot but CTRL ALT DEL bought up welcome screen and then desktop as before. Then I installed Service Pack 2, defraged and rebooted and this time I didn't lose graphics when window was loading, no need for CTRL ALT DEL anymore. I kept going and finished the install without losing the graphics anymore and it all seems stable. NTL went down again in my area at midday when I finished so I've been unable to post this last bit until now.
    If anyone can explain what happened here I would be grateful. I understand the faulty cards were faulty so thats that - but why did I lose graphics until service pack 2, why did pressing CTRL ALT DEL a few times bring it back? Is it possible my systen broke the graphics cards? Is this an issue I can avoid somehow in the future during new installs on this machine? (should and when the need arises) Was it a mistake to update the VIA chipset drivers before I started all this?
    Thanks again for all the help.

  • Msi kt6 delta lsr temp problem?

    i have just installed a msi kt6 delta lsr , but when i have ran the system a while the sys temp is around 40-42 c and the cpu temp is around 52c .
    on my old mobo the temps never went above 35c for the cpu and 25c for the sys temp .
    my specs for old mobo etc =

    windows me (but same in win xp pro)
    2 fans blowing air into case and 2 sucking air out
    does anybody know a way to improve the temps please

    Yippee! A ME user, like me! You know I guess MS support for W98 and ME has been prolonged til 2006? It has partly to do with Linux.
    The temperature for the CPU is a little high, but not alarmingly so. Barton gets a little bit hotter on these boards, and I think it is the placing belovw the PSU that is the cause. The system temperature for you is no problem.
    To get the warmth away from the CPU I suggest a fan placed in the case door/side, that sucks it out.
    Perhaps you have not got such a case door? Then I suggest a quiet 80 mm fan on the back of the case as high as possible, again sucking air out in order to make a nice air flow. Another suggestion is to tie away cabling to the sides of the case as much as possible, power cables, IDE cables etc.

  • MSI KT6 Delta-L sound problems

    Hi, I have an annoying problem. My sound gets disorted and after one or two seconds I get a Blue Screen..
    This only seems to happend with Operation Flashpoint Resistance and Lock On Air Combat (both uses a lot of memory). Computer is rock stabile unless this.
    I have tried both Win2k/XP and flashing my BIOS to the most rescent one, as well as the drivers.. I have also tried without the PCI-cards, and disabled some features at the motherboard, but with no help.
    But when I used Via AC97 drivers instead of C-Media, it crash no more (aswell as no sound drivers at all), but I have no surround sound (I suppose that driver don't support my sound chip fully)...
    Ok, know to my specs,

  • KT6 Delta and memory problems

    Before I begin let me post my specs:
    Mobo: KT6 Delta
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2700+ @ 166 FSB
    RAM: 1 stick Corsair 512MB DDR400
    P/S: 430W
    Now that that's out of the way..... I got a stick of Elixir 256MB DDR466 today for Christmas.  Now keep in mind the KT6 Delta is only supposed to support up to DDR400, but it should still work, right?  Well, when I put in the new memory, my mobo only reads the new 256MB stick.  The old 512MB stick works fine by itself, though.  I've tried switching the sticks around and putting them in different slots, but nothing seems to work.  I even tried forcing the SDRAM Frequency to 400MHz under the BIOS... nothing.
    Should there be a way to make this configuration work with certain BIOS settings?  Or will I have to return the gift?
    Thanks.

    I can understand getting a problem from mixing different memory speeds, but we have 4 computers in our household and we've been mixing sizes and brands for a while now, so your post took me by surprise.  In fact, my youngest brother used to have a 256, a 64, and a 16MB stick, all of different brands, and some of which were overclocked.   From my experience I wouldn't say it "almost always" causes a problem.  I don't doubt your expertise though, you've clearly been here longer than me.  I'm just trying to understand what's going on, and this whole thing has left me a bit confused.
    But whatever.  I'll see if the gift can be returned. Thanks.

  • Component F5 on KT6 delta MS 6590 is burned

    Hello all,
    I have tried to restart a systrem using an old KT6 Delta and I have found out that component F5 is burned.
    I would like to know what exactly is F5 (a fuse ?) and with what can I replace it, as it is now, the board boots but the graphics display are not working, maybe F5 is a fuse controlling the power supply to the video board ?
    Thanks for thelp, besides that is there a place to download the schematic from this board ? I don't care about the manual, I'd like the schematics from the board, it would be VERY easy to fix my board with this document.
    Many thanks

    Welcome!
    You have to ask MSI-staff for that, I'm afraid. Can't reach their site right now, but here is a link to main site: http://www.msi.com.tw
    To be honest, I'd advice against the work you are planning:
    1 A socketA mobo is cheap nowadays. It'll amount to less than your work and new parts, etc.
    2 One component burnt mostly means there is or has been some abuse, and like bricks in a domino game other components might follow the F5. - Or already has!

  • KT6 Delta LSR FSB problem solved!

    Here's some FYI for anybody with boot up troubles. A friend made a suggestion that got me thinking the dividers might not be set quite right on my mobo so I decided to raise the FSB to 210 and it solved my booting problem. I've tested this out several times and it definately works. Instead of trying to run 11 X 200, I'm at 10.5 X 210 and scoring great:
    Anyone having troubles might want to try this out. Good luck.

  • KT6 Delta LSR Ram problem

    Hey guys,
    Just making a post on behalf of m8, Basicley he's got a sempron 2500+ and kingston ram that is tested as ok in the Test Report book. however we are getting a d-bracket error of light 1 = red, light 2 = green, light 3 = red, light 4 = red. we also get 3 short beeps. We've tryed other ram in the machine but still get the same probs. The mobo and cpu are brand new. any ideas on what procedures to take next????

    I don't mind, really. Excuse me for being so stubborn, also, but people come in all shapes.
    You had another very good idea, Dr Stu, about the graphics card. It is hard to say where D-bracket finds its POST errors. The first 64kb I think has to do with loading/holding BIOS "drivers"/wakening the BIOS controlled hard ware, and that would be why the POST sequence checks it, but I can't guarantee this.
    As stated it would be nice to know the PSU specs. This board relies heavily on the 12V, and even if you successfully post, your system would be crippled without ca 18A on the 12 volt line.
    On some occassions POST has been successful by removing all unnecessary parts from the mobo, and running it outside the case. Just to POST you wouldn't need mouse or keyboard or USB devices or PCI cards etc, and hardly even the monitor.

  • KT6 Delta Fis2r temp problem

    The bios says that my xp 2400+ is burning (75C), but that is just not right. I have a Zalman 6000 CU on it, probably a bug in the bios, or isn't it ??????

    I don't get to 54C, but i have it at 59C now, with an extra system cooler.
    I'm going to buy a alu case, with an peltier cooler, that will get it cool, i hope.
    Thanx

  • KT6 Delta (MS-6590 V2) hangs @ Testing VGA BIOS

    Hiya,
    My sons machine has been running extremely well for about 4 months or so but started playing up a couple of days ago - to put it simply, the display would corrupt, produce a chequerboarding (usually pink and green) effect and occasionally blank out altogether :(
    Eventually, the machine refused to start at all - I checked the D-Bracket and it showed that the machine was hanging at the Testing VGA BIOS stage.
    We replaced the motherboard and the machine is now fine. My question is simple really - the components that were used with the MSI board are now in use with the replacement board so that shows that they are OK so, what could cause the MSI board to hang at this stage ? Is it the board thats faulty ? It`s only about 5 months old and has performed flawlessly until now.

  • KT6 Delta MS-6590

    Hello
    Is there anybody here with this board and is running 3200cpu(400Mhz)
    thx
    mick

    Have you upgraded?! Looks real smart!
    As this isn't an overclock forum, I'll just say
    at least BIOS 5.5,
    FSB200,
    DDR AUTO,
    AGP AUTO,
    all USB devices enabled,
    a thrillingly good PSU as some say you have ,
    VIA 4in1 drivers installed while in SafeMode,
    no SoundBlaster - isn't necessary and mess things up usually,
    CDRW(?) as Master on secondary IDE(slot 2), system disk as Master on primary IDE(slot1),
    a well read manual,
    and no MSI utilities installed.
    I'd also suggest a big case or a door fan to keep things cool.
    I'll even stretch to say I found it more efficient with High performance defaults in BIOS.

  • KT6 Delta stability and performance problems

    Hi all!
    My brother and I recently assembled my new computer. Since then I’ve been experiencing two problems that really bug me. I’m no expert at this stuff so if you guys need more info from me to try to help, just say so!
    Problem 1:
    The optimum setting for my processor is a CPU FSB Clock of 166 Mhz, but I’m only able to reach 160 Mhz. 161-163 will work but is extremely unstable. 164-166 will cause Windows to dump to a blue screen and reboot.
    I’ve seen that other people on this board have had similar problems. Note that I’ve set CPU Ratio to Auto and SDRAM Timing to SPD. What could be causing the problem? Could a simple BIOS update help (I’m running the one that was delivered with the motherboard)? How about clearing CMOS?
    Problem 2:
    Maybe due to the above problem, I’m also having stability problems when I do get into Windows. On some days it’s fine, other days it’s a mess.
    All of a sudden, while surfing the net or gaming, the computer will dump to a blue screen with the info that Windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to the system. One of two error messages will be displayed:
    “A thread tried to release a resource it did not own” (more common message) or “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL” (less common).
    The computer will then reboot automatically. It’s really hard to specify when this happens: it could come at any time.
    The system I have is the following:
    KT6 Delta (MS-6590) motherboard
    AMD Athlon XP2500+ (1.833 Ghz)
    TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM (2x256Mb)
    Seagate Barracuda 80Gb S-ATA
    My old IDE 12 Gb harddrive
    PowerColor Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb
    TDK CD-RW (40x/10x/40x)
    Windows XP Professional with Sp1
    Have any of you had similar problems? I appreciate any help I can get!!!
    Regards,
    Stefan

    judd321: couldn't agree more! Thanx to all the people who post here and try to help out computer illiterate people like myself. Interesting to see that you've had the same problem.
    Thought I'd give you an update on my situation. I've done some surfing and gotten some mixed messages. Some say that the included PSU that came with my Chenbro Gaming Bomb (FSP Group 350W, delivers 28A at +3,3V, 30A at +5v and 16A at 12V) is plenty to power a system with my specs. Others, like the good people on this board, claim that 350W just won't cut it.
    I've just invested in an Aspire 520W (looks creepy and mod-ish). The dealer claimed that it really does deliver 520W at maximum performance and not just at peak. Before I install it I will try the following just to make sure it's the PSU that's causing me problems:
    1) Confirm that I still cannot boot up with CPU Clock at 166Mhz. If all is still the same, Windows won't even start. If I, by the grace of the good Lord, do get my system running at 166, I'll monitor unwanted reboots. If system is stable, fine. If no:
    2) I'll start by clearing CMOS, with battery and power cord out for at least 10 minutes. Then enter BIOS and run default settings EXCEPT CPU Clock which I'll set to 166Mhz. I'll try to reboot computer to see if this has done the trick. If yes, great. If no, I'll try the same thing but also set memory speed to 333. If that still doesn't work:  
    3) Clear CMOS with power cord disconnected. Unplug unneccesary components like CD-ROM, fan (not heatsink  , floppy drive, any USB devices and my old IDE hard drive. Reboot the computer and set CPU Clock at 166. If the system works, it was definitely the PSU since the absence of the disconnected components will have allocated more power to the connected components. If it doesn't work...does anybody want to buy a pretty decent system that doesn't allow for full processor power and experiences frequent, unwanted reboots?  
    I'll let you know how things work out!

  • KT6 Delta MOBO Problem

    Just what you need on New Years Eve!
    I just purchased the following hardware to upgrade my current system.
    KT6 Delta MS-6590 (v2.X) TX Mainboard Version 2.0 G52-M6590XD Mobo
    AMD Athelon XP 2600 with L2 Cache of 512 KB Quantispeed
    PNY Technologies 256MB DIMM DDR 333 Mhz-184pins Memory OEM
    NVIDIA Sparkle GeForce4 MX 440-8X AGP8X 3D Graphic Accelerator
    Microsoft Internet Keyboard
    Current system is as follows.
    American Megatrends Inc. Mobo
    Intel Pentium III 550MHz
    128MB Ram Installed
    S3 Inc. Savage4 (Engineering Bit Flip) 1024 x 768 32-bit Video Resolution
    19GB Hard Disk
    Mitsumi CD-ROM FX4824TIB Max Read Speed 8467KB/s (48X)
    Windows 98 operating systems
    Now your probably saying “Yeah so what…!”, well here is where the fun starts.
    I went out to get some more memory and asked a member of staff at the store if the new memory would improve gaming on my PC. He explained that this would not resolve the problem and a new processor was the best option. Unfortunately due to the age of my motherboard he advised me to buy a new one along with a new graphics card and memory to boot along with the new Athelon.
    I removed all old hardware, installed the new as per the manual and………nothing. Fan on the processor is working, as is the one in the box but apart from a LED light on the front nothing works. The D-Bracket 2 Connector:JLED1 has all four lights on which indicates that the processor is damaged or not installed properly. Re-installed but no joy still getting the same four lights. Is it really that simple…is my processor damaged or not installed properly? Find it hard to believe that anybody could install it wrong, as there is only one way to install it.
    I also have two sets of Serial ATA Cables left over. One Black at both ends with Orange Cable and the other I presume is a power Cable (4 pins) connected via two black plugs using two black, a red and yellow wire. Also the audio lead for the CD ROM cannot be connected to the MOBO but I am told this is not a problem.
    Now it’s at this point you hopefully will start asking me about jumpers. Could this be the problem? Or maybe my operating system does not support this motherboard. I tried to install the software that MSI supplied but it told me I needed windows SE etc.
    As you can probable tell this is my first upgrade and maybe the Athelon is buggered and I will be knocking on the stores doors Friday morning, PC in hand asking them to have a look. But I don’t want to do that…I want to solve this on my own with a little help from you.
    Just to prove I’m not a total fool I have reinstalled all the old hardware so I can obtain some help over the New Year using the old set up.
    Look forward to your advice
    RJL :^(

    New system is up and running thanks to the new PSU and all your help. Noticed a few other people have had similar problems with the PSU. It shuts down now so quick that I don't have time to get my butt out of the seat.
    The D-Bracket is still showing all 4 green, lights indicating that the operating system is booting. I presume this is ok?
    I'm certain that I have connected everthing up from the power ok but there is a three-pin head connector which I was not sure where it should go. It would either go in the NBFAN1 or the SFAN1 if any...any ideas?
    In device manager I have a few unknown devices where the driver has not installed (code 28).
    PCI ETHERNET CONTROLLER
    PCI MULTIMEDIA AUDIO DEVICE
    PCI RAID CONTROLLER
    PCI UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS
    Can you give me any pointers?
    NVIDIA WDM VIDEO CAPTURE (UNIVERSAL)
    This is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all drivers installed (code 10)
    It says try upgrading drivers for this device so I will see if I can download some.
    I would image the above is why I am getting no sound when I play a CD?
    Also the Drivers & Utilities CD which came with the KT6 Delta will not load as it is asking for OS Windows 98SE and above. Do I need anything on this Disk or is it a load of rubbish which will fill up my C-Drive and never get used.
    Also getting the annoying network passwork request when I boot up...how do you get rid of that again?
    Look forward to you replies

  • KT6 Delta bootup stall or monitor turn off

    Hi
    I recently  upgraded my motherboard to a KT6 Delta and I have expreienced some boot up problems.
    The PC can boot up normally and just before the windows xp flash screen appears the green LED on my monitor will turn orange..as if on standby, the pc is still operating as the fans can be heard.  I then need to press the reset button and the pc will then reboot.
    The reboot is sometimes quick, however, at other times this reboot often pauses at the "Via Technologie ATA Raid Bios SettingUtility v1.10...Scan Devices, Please wait......" message for about a minute and it will then procede to boot into XP perfectly fine.
    I do not have any serial HD's connected.
    Any points or ideas here would be useful.
    Thanks.

    KT6 Delta (MS-6590) with drivers from the cd included with the MB..today I checked with MSI live update and downloaded and installed the most recent via drivers.
    Bios is American Megatrends Inc...version07.00T..build date is 04/02/01.
    ATI Radeo 9600 (not Pro) with XP 2600.
    I have already done a clean install bu the situation is the same. I have no stability problems when XP does boot up....
    The switching off of the signal to the monitor on each and every single initial boot up is what I am having difficulty getting my head round, specially as it will consistantly boot on the second reboot  

  • KT6 Delta and Hercules Fortissimo?

    Hi all,
    Picked up one of these last week.  My onboard audio would stutter... figured I'd solve that by picking up a Fortissimo and disabling onboard.
    Unfortunately, the Fortissimo makes a BZZT! noise periodically when playing audio, like the noise a handshake shocker thing would make.
    I tried disabling all hardware acceleration, and the Hercules tech support people didn't have anything to say other than, "it could be defective".  I ordered this online and would hate to go through the hassle of sending it back.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, that's the part that apply to sound probs. as your's. Best way to check is taking Mobo out of case, putting on isolated surface, and testing if problem goes.
