KT6-DELTA MS6590

 ?( I AM THINKING OF BUILDING A NEW SYSTEM USING THIS MOBO. I AM NO TECHNO WIZZARD, BUT CAN MANAGE TO BUILD A SYSTEM NO PROB. I AM GOING TO PUT IN A 2500+XP AND COOLERMASTER AERO ( MY CURRENT SETUP ( 2000+XP) IS RUNNING WITH THIS COOLER AT 39C ). SOUNDBLASTER LIVE 5.1. RADEON 9000 PRO 64MB DDR. 60 GIG H/D, CDRW, DVD CD ROM, WINDOWS XP HOME, AND TWO STICKS OF CRUCIAL 512 MB PC2700 . MY CURRENT SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS MUCH MEMORY PROBABLY DUE TO LACK OF OOOMMFFF FROM PSU . CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GOOD QUALITY PSU THAT WILL COMFORTABLY POWER THIS SYSTEM.   I DO NOT INTEND TO OVERCLOCK BECAUSE A/ I DON`T KNOW HOW TO DO IT
                  B/ I WANT TO BUILD THIS SYSTEM TO BE 13 YEAR OLD CHILD PROOF AND ULTRA STABLE.
  ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKES AND SUPPLIERS. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF POSTS REGARDING Q-TEC AND TO AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE.
 I AM HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CURRENT SYSTEM AND DONT WANT A REPEAT PERFORMACE.  
  ANY OUTSTANDING SUGGESTIONS WILL RECIEVE A VERY BIG THANK YOU AND A PINT AT MY LOCAL BAR
         THANKS IN ANTICIPATION                PAUL ;(  ;(

Firstly a suggestion as I have seen this a lot in many other threads on this board please don't post in all caps it's makes it hard to comprehend your posting, and it also makes it sound like you're shouting. Now off to the problem at hand I use a Enermax EG465P-VE, and it powers my weighed down system without a sweat. Some brands to get are Enermax, and Antec some ones to stay away from are Vantec,Qtec, and generic brands. A rule to follow is not to look at the wattage of it like don't buy a 400watt power supply just because the box is pretty, and they used a large font to make the words 400 watt stand out you need to look at the combinded watts, and also the amperages like technojunkie mentioned. Good luck

  • KT6 Delta-LSR lock ups

    Hi again , i was having trouble with my KT6 Delta-LSR not reading the correct cpu speed . ie it read 1.1 when it was a barton 3200 , I was advised to turn fsb up to 200 , which i did and it displayed the correct cpu, but i am getting lots of lock ups now, if i put back down to 166 its very stable , but now i cant get pc to boot after last lock up , it just freezes after american megatrends screen .

    You don't mention the Brand of your ram.  You stated that' it's Cas 2.
    I purchased some generic ram that was Cas 2, but I couldn't push my FSB above 100.  When I upgraded to some Kingston (see below) I could easily push it to 166.
    Good luck!!!

  • [VIA] KT6 Delta hangs when I install SATA disk

    I've had a lot of problems with my PC - maybe related to the mobo, maybe not. I have a KT6 Delta LSR - and was running XP SP2 with a SATA disk on it. Not RAID - just standalone. It ran OK for about 4 months, then it crashed hard. For the last two weeks I'm trying to get my system back, but its not looking good. I think the CPU or mobo overheated - it was running about 62C - then I installed a new CPU fan and tried to render a DVD when it locked up and apparently wrecked my disk. I bought a brand new SATA disk and a new IDE disk. I installed XP fresh on the IDE disk. That runs OK. I removed the "old" disk (4 months old) from the system and installed a brand new SATA disk. But when I install the VIA SATA drivers, XP falls apart. By that I mean it can take up to 45 minutes to boot up (with an Athlon 3000+, 1Gb memory) and it acts VERY sluggish when I do finally get in.
    I don't know what to do. I'd like to try to recover data from my "old" disk to the new SATA disk, but the SATA drivers make working in XP impossible. I have bought a new motherboard - an ABIT board that supports SATA, but I hate to go to the trouble of replacing the mobo, if the problem is with SATA. Maybe SATA is not ready for general use yet? Is it still being developed and maybe it is generally unstable? As long as I'm, with IDE, everything seems stable. What should I do to get data off my SATA drive? I'm sorry I ever went SATA, that's for sure. Never again.
    Should I install XP on the new SATA drive like I did back in May and see if I can get data off the "old" drive - then maybe copy it to a network location somewhere? I have two fairly new 250 Gb. SATA drives that are basically useless. Unbelievable.

    I did not change the CPU. Just the CPU's fan. I did not reset the CMOS after doing that. I have a Thermaltake power supply and 1GB of  Corsair DDR 4000 - 2x512mb.
    In another post, I found a link to a post at Western Digital where WDC claims that the disk I have is the next generation of SATA and may not be compatible with the chipset in the MSI motherboard. They recommend to jumper two pins on the disk to help out. The only thing is that my WDC disk has been running OK since May and is the one that recently crashed. I bought a Seagate SATA disk to try to restore my system to, but whenever I hook up the Seagate, the system takes over an hour to boot up. Without the Seagate it takes a few minutes. I think that maybe the Seagate is also too new for this motherboard.
    I don't know how the consumer is supposed to know if a disk is compatible with a motherboard. I bought a SATA disk to use in a SATA equipped motherboard. Apparently newer versions of SATA are not backwards compatible but there is no easy way to know this in advance or to find out if your disk will work.
     

  • KT6 Delta with ATI 9600XT

    Hello group:
    I am having problems with my ATI video card and the MSI KT6 Delta set at 8x AGP - it hangs the system - especially when playing games.  A friend found a forum message from someone with the same problem and he said: "The problem was solved by downloading the latest VIA 4in1 Drivers (v4.51).  The latest drivers on MSI's site are only 4.49 and they will cause lock-ups with the AGP set at 8X."  Neglected to say where he downloaded the VIA 4in1 Drivers - can anyone help me with this?  Thanks in advance, John, Enschede, Netherlands

    http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=300
    there you will find 4.51. But the hanging of AGP8x cards is nothing unusual, just set down to 4x. It won't cost you a frame. But a BIOS update could help, too.

  • 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!

  • [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 -

    Phillips CD/DVD burner
    Onboard sound and Edirol USB soundcard

    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.

  • KT6 Delta - Random freezes and LAN Issues

    Just built a new PC, installed Win XP, installed all the drivers etc.
    I get random freezes - as in the machine will just stop responding totally.  I could run for an hour before a freeze, other times its frozen before I've even logged in.
    Also the LAN keeps dropping out too.  The timing of this is also random, just to make things interesting.  I could be downloading a 20MB file, get only 2MB into it, then it just sits there.  The only way to get the LAN back up and running is to reboot.  Once I've rebooted, its a case of just waiting for it to fail again  
    The specs are as follows:
    KT6 Delta-FIS2R (Gigabit LAN etc.)
    AMD 2800XP+
    1GB Crucial (2 x 512)
    ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
    80 Maxtor HD
    400W PSU
    I've got the FSB set to 166 and also set the memory up correctly (333 and 2.5 cl) but to no avail.
    I was running with a Soundblaster Audigy card, but took that out and still got the same.  I even tried taking out one of the memory modules.
    I don't think its a temperature issue as the CPU is currently running at about 47 Degrees and I've got the side off-of the case.
    Please - anyone got any ideas???

    I have a KT6 Delta LSR and am having probs with the onboard Broadcom 4401 as well.
    After Initial boot of machine I have 2-5 minutes to surf the net or whatever. At that time I lose connection. Also if I linger on one page long enough to read, I lose connection. Or shutdown a net connected program, it loses connection.
    When I play Tribes - the connection stays till I leave the server - then I have to reboot.
    This is driving me nuts. I have disabled the Lan in bios and installed a Netgear 10/100. XP recognizes it but cannot get rid of "Cable not plugged in" message. So I reinstalled the 4401.
    I have RR and am behind a Phoebe 4 port router. None of the other computers have a problem with the router, and I have tried changing plug in ports around among the computers.
    I have the same version of driver for it as the latest at MSI. Flashed the latest bios lately as well, in desperation.
    Any ideas? I sure would appreciate it.

  • Kt6 Delta no longer boots

    My Kt6 Delta LSR no longer boots. The fans are whirring, the D-Bracket leds are frozen on 4 red lights indicating CPU damaged or installed improperly. I built the box and, after a few initial problems it ran fine for several days. Then one morning I turned it on and got nothing! It's not the PSU, I bought a new CPU, it's not that.
    How could it be running fine one day and not even boot the next? Graphics card is new, pre-tested. Tried 3 monitors, it's not the monitor. I know others have had similar problems, but as far as I know they were on their initial boot-up. Mine was running fine for several days!

    A small drop on the die, carefully spread out, with an American Express according to pterhune . This is after removing the old grease. Too much might inflict on the work of the CPU, or even isolate. But if you bought a so called boxed CPU, more grease should not be needed, as there already is a pad of thermal dough on.
    It is not always stated in the manual, but when clearing CMOS there should be no el. left in any corner of the motherboard. But you knew already that you have to unplug, wait, move jumper etc.

  • MSI KT6 Delta wont boot

    My MSI KT6 Delta system no longer boots any further than the memory test? why? any ideas? any solutions other than replacing the motherboard etc.
    some background:
    motherboard: MSI KT6 Delta
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800
    Memory: 1Gb branded
    Graphics: Geforce FX 5200 AGP
    PSU: Antec TrueBlue 480
    Screen displays the memory test then a message relating to BIOS setup i.e. "Del: BIOS Setup" plus a new option i dont remember seeing previously namely "F10: Flash recovery" btw pressing 'del' doesn't help you cant get into the BIOS setup.  Having cleared the CMOS via JBAT1 i now just get the MSI Welcome screen.  If it helps the D-Bracket displays a red led top left.
    its all a bit odd really, everything was fine on Friday night, but come Saturday morning its all gone pear shaped.
    any help appreciate

    OK. Well, the procesor is where I'd start troubleshooting.
    Step one would be to unplug power cable and other cables on the back of the computer, wait a while ( you'll hear a faint zzipp  ), and then move JBAT jumper in order to clear CMOS. That will force you into BIOS.
    Eh, thought of something. BIOS will stop sometimes if it can't find a keyboard. And you say entering BIOS is impossible. Perhaps you have more than one problem? a) processor's BIOS settings are impossible, b) the keyboard hinders you from entering BIOS. However, the CMOS clearing should in either case be a good start.
    Your problem very much reminds of what happened to me and others while playing with CoreCenter. I know you didn't but can't help saying so.

  • What memory are you running in your KT6 Delta?

    I am looking at upgrading my memory. I am going for 1GB of pc3200 with decent latency. Please post your memory configuration as i want to know what works with the KT6 Delta before making a purchase
    I also wonder if i can use dual-channel memory even thought the board doesnt support it. So i wont need to upgrade my memory when i get a new dual-channel board.
    I would like to stay under/around $200

    HyperX as per sig.
    Don't understand your question "can I use dual channel memory even though the board doesn't support it." Makes no sense. Since the board doesn't support it the answer is surely no.
    BUT, if you mean "can I use 2 sticks which I'd normally buy for dual channel memory" then the answer is definitely yes. There's nothing special about dual channel memory kits - they are just matched pairs, that's all. The Delta series has 3 DIMM slots so go ahead and buy 2 sticks.
    Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick!

  • No DVD Sound - KT6 Delta FISR

    Hello,
    I'm in trouble with my motherboard KT6 Delta FISR : drivers are installed, configured, everything is ok, music is working, video CD also, but no sound if I try to run a DVD !?!? No mean to get sound on the analog output. Tried everything but cannot find the solution.
    I think it could be a problem with sound output, for example sound only going on the digital output SPDIF and not on the anallog, but I need help to change that !
    Can anyone help me please ?
    Thanks a lot
    Chris

    Hi,
    Yes I'm quite sure, it's not the first time I configure an MSI motherboard, settings are tu rear output, and configured for stereo speakers. Music, wav, VCD is working, only DVD has no sound. Is there a special setting, hided somewhere, that would be something like "disable analog output if digital sound present" ?
    Thanks
    Chris

  • KT6 Delta-FIS2R won't go into Stand By mode

    Hi, any advise on this would be appreciated.
    I just installed my second KT6 Delta-FIS2R. First one returned due to “cold boot” problem.
    This new one is almost unstoppable. When I connect the external power the system boots up without me hitting the power button. It did so from the very first time I connected power.
    When I choose “Turn off computer / Stand By” the system slows down, disks, fans seems to stop, but only for a second. It then starts up again. Changing the ACPI mode in BIOS does not change anything. Anyway, the BIOS settings were default the very time it started up.
    When I choose “Turn of computer / Turn Off” the system stops as it should. I can the press the power button and the system start normally.
    I added a Maxtor +9 ATA133 at same time as I changed the board. Only change performed.

    i hope answer
    Thanks

    Hello!
    Pull out the main power cable
    Clear CMOS by moving the JBAT jumper or removing the battery for a minute or two.
    When booting again, enter BIOS by pressing Del button.
    Set FSB to 166, and set the correct time. Don't do anything else. Save&Exit.
    If the problem remains, you have to remove the HSF/cooler and the processor. Clean both with pure alcohol and nail polish remover (garnish?), so no old grease is still there. Add new thermal grease, by putting a small drop on the very chip, of the processor. Before putting them back, look carefully on the thing in which the processor is placed, so you don't put the HSF/cooler on back-wards.
    Good luck! Please come back if you wonder about above, or if problem remains.

  • Urgent! Please Help on KT6 Delta

    I mounted the sistem on AMD XP 1800, i had it on a motherboard soltek sl75drv5 and was working 100%.
    I put thermal grease and all that on the cpu, but when a start the system, like 30 seconds later, it starts to make a sound in the cpu area, like if something is frying or like electricity sparks, or like a cable being it by the fan.
    There's no cables near the fan, i removed all thermal grease and put new one, i have a NoiseBloker Fan on the cooler.
    I can't understand why is it making this sound, i don't leave it to much time on, cause the noise starts to increase, so i just leave like 1 minute on in the BIOS.
    Can anyone please give any hint on this? I have tons of work to do, and have this machine stoped cause i'm affraid to ruin mb or cpu.
    Someting i noticed in the bootup, is that the cpu isn't defined correctly, it detects a AMD 1150Mhz, should be amx xp 1800+ or 1533Mhz, and also the DDR's speed says 266mhz, and all 3 slots are 333Mhz.
    Is there something wrong with board??
    I appreciate all help possible, i've been all day around this stuff and can't fixed.

    If your motherboard did come with a northbridge fan then it's likely that it's probably buzzing mine does that when I mount it wrong it usually takes a few tries before I can get it to be nice and quiet.
    Quote
    When you said "Is there any chance you missed an extra standoff behind the board?", i don't understand very well what you mean, but i read another article that said that those pieces could cause problems.
    But then, how do i support the board without those metal pieces? as they were working fine on old board.
    Some boards have different mounting hole locations so when you had soltek board there could a slight possibility that it had maybe one or more mounting holes that aren't in the same locations as on the KT6 Delta. Metal standoffs cause problems if they touch a trace on the underside of the motherboard, but when mounted correctly in the hole they only touch either pcb or grounded traces. It's impossible to screw a motherboard in easily without standoffs the ports on the back wouldn't line up, and the screws would have a very tough time reaching the holes which would be a bit smaller than normal screws used to mount the motherboard.
    The electrical sound you're hearing I'm guessing is from the power supply looking at some Cheiftec power supply numbers, and they don't fare to well, and don't look like a good quality unit that would last long enough.

    I keep getting some strange BSOD. No matter what I do with the machine. Windows locks up completely and after about 1min, that BSOD comes and machine boots.

    In normal usage, it comes about 1-3 times/day.
    Mostly it comes when I copy some files from disk to other.
    But it comes everytime when I try to decompress big (over 400mb) ZIP-files.
    Everything did work with my old board, MSI KT4A. The problems begun when i changed the motherboard and added the Seagate S-ATA hdd.
    I have ordered new memory, Kingston HyperX 512mb (333). Could it be memory-related or something with S-ATA ????
    I have tried everything, latest BIOS, latest VIA4in1, memchecks etc...

    I had the same problem on a differnt mobo and all I did to fix it was switch the IDE cables around on the devices.
    ?Give it a try?
    It may be a jumper you forgot to change on  the IDE devices.
