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.

  • KT6 Delta won't boot - Compatability Issue?

    I am upgrading two systems and neither will boot.
    Motherboard: MSI KT6 Delta
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton)
    Ram: DDR 400 (PC3200) Two 512MB
    CPU fan runs but D-Bracket 2 has all four red lights.
    Should JPW1 connecter be used? I do not see anything to plug into it
    Help!

    I found the following in a September post:
    JPW1
    When MSI designed the TURBO2 board, they included the jpw1 as a just in case sort of a thing. The original atx plug is what you need to use. The jpw1 can be used too, IF your p/s has the p4 style connecter that plugs into it. If it doesn't, and you are experiencing no problems with stability, do not worry about it. This plug provides the cpu with it's own source of power. All newer power supplys that are p4 ready, come with this plug. I bought a new supply,so I use it ,but there are lots of TURBO2 owners that are not using it, and are not experiencing any problems. Good luck with your rig,BIGDADDY51 CT.USA edit: I reread your post .Plug it in it won't hurt.

  • KT6 Delta won't boot after clearing the BIOS

    I have just put together the machine as per my signature and run into a few problems. The XP 2800 mobile is not recognised as such but as a XP1800 when I set the FSB to 133. Am I right in saying this CPU should run at 1.65 volts as it seems to wants to run at 1.75. I changed the V Core to 1.65 and it boots ok but when I tried it at 1.6 it did not want to boot, ie no video output. I no longer get the single BIOS bleep and the monitor stays on standby. This has happened before and I got it running again by clearing the CMOS and reseating the RAM but this time I have done the same and it won't boot. Is there anything else I should be doing please. Many thanks.
    Having looked at the Socket A sticky I see that my diagnostic D bracket is showing 1,2 and 3 showing red and four not on at all which would seem to point at the graphics as being the problem.

    Hello!
    Voltages should be set to "CPU default" or similar. Your processor comes in different versions, try setting to 166 instead of 133. Always when changing processor one should clear CMOS, by powering off, unplugging power cable, and then move JBAT jumper for a short time, a minute or so.

  • Dual boot KT6 Delta won't boot from either bootable drive?

    Recently my system has been playing me up and the monitor refuses to wake up or come in the morning. The only way to get it back is to press the reset button. This morning however I cannot get any further than the post screen where it shows me all the system details, it refuses to start to load either OS from the two hard drives. Where should I start to look to fault find please. Thanks for your help in advance.

    Thanks for the help, I am interested to know how many amps I should be looking for and could you guys recommend a good PSU for not much money. Thanks again.
    look here for good PSU suggestion:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=104400.msg768358#msg768358
    you should look for single rail PSU with high amperes provided on +12V
    what memory you use?

  • [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 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.

  • MSI KT6 Delta-FISR - D-Link diags "Boot attempt" failing

    Hi,
    I need some inspiration for this problem.
    My sister's machine has been running fine (ish) for about 5 months. The sound has been "playing up" recently, sounding like it's stuttering. Anyway, that's not why I'm here.
    At the moment, the machine won't boot up at all. I had it booted up today, and it was working OK, then it froze (sister complained that it froze yesterday as well).
    On reboot, all I'm getting is the Xtreme main screen, then nothing else. The D-Link diags are showing 1 RED, 2,3,4 green which is
    "Boot Attempt- This will set low stack and boot via INT 19h". It does nothing else.
    I can't get into the BIOS, not can I boot from floppy. Doesn't matter if the HD is connected or not, it still fails at the same point.
    I've stripped the machine back to the basics, so only have 1 CD-ROM, 1 HD, 1 stick of ram, floppy drive, graphics card.
    I've swapped the graphics card .. same problem.
    dropped the ram from 2 to 1 stick and switched sockets ... same problem
    Swapped the PSU .... same problem
    Is the Motherboard knackered ?  Anyone got any more suggestions ??????

  • [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 - 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.

  • Problem: Kt6 Delta, Barton XP3000 (333)

    Dear all,
    first, sorry for my possibly bad english.
    A few days ago i recieved following Hardware:
    Mainboard: "MSI KT6 Delta"
    CPU: "AMD ATHLON 3000 BOXED" (BARTON)
    GRAKA: "MSI FX5600-VTDR128"
    RAM: "1 x 512 MB Corsair XMS3500 (2-2-2-6 T1)"
    HDs: "2 x 120 GB, Barracuda SATA V, Seagate
    SATA150, 7200 rpm, 8 MB Cache"
    My Powersupply is this one: Enermax 460 Watt EG-465AX-VE
    This should be more than enough
    (http://www.enermax.com.tw/eg365ax-ve-fca.htm)
    What happend:
    After each reboot (Reset Button or on/off) System freeze at RAID Bios. D-LEDS "Green-Green-Green-RED" (Atempting to Boot) to get the system up again i have to reset the Bios settings via jumper JBAT1. After that of course i had to reconfigure the Bios again.
    So, after a while, i got WinXP installed.
    Reboot initialized by the OS worked most of the Time so i had an unstable OS.
    CPU temperature at 55 Degrees, Main at 35 Degrees.
    After a while when i tried to continue the installation the Mainboard couldnt initialize anymore at all. The Diagnostic LEDs said "RED-RED-RED-RED" (CPU damaged or wrong installed). I waited a few minutes than i tried again - and everything works fine after clearing Bios again of course.    
    I tried 3 different Powersupplies until i got the Enermax with no differnce behaviour.
    Temperature is LOW. 55/35 Degrees.
    Bios Settings: I tried: Save and Custom (FSB166)
    The end of the Story is that the current status is:
    RED-RED-RED-RED -> since yesterday.
    I dont think i ll get it up again - so which part is the damaged Hardware? Any Hints?  
    I hope i wasnt too confusing ,
    yours,
    fne

    THNX for the hint. But my current Status is that the Board does not initialise. The Diagnostic LEDs are RED-RED-RED-RED which means an CPU error. I have already changed the CPU. Mounted and cooled as shown in the guide. At the moment i see no other solution as send my Mainboard back. :(
    greetings,

  • DDR400 freezing on KT6 Delta-LSR ?

    I usually run 2 x sticks of 512MB Kingston DDR400, and have never had a problem.
    I've removed them to test a 1GB stick of Kingston DDR400, but it won't work at 'full speed'.
    I'm guessing the RAM is fine, as it was working perfectly in the system I pulled it from.
    XP freezes (after about 5-10 mins) when I run the RAM at 400MHz, but seems to be ok at 333MHz.
    > Tested RAM in all slots, still freezes
    > Booted into Windows Memory Diagnostic - no errors
    > Booted into Memtest86 - no errors (didn't let it run long though)
    > Ran HCI Memtest from XP, and it froze as soon as the test started. But will run fine at 333MHz.
    I ordered another 1GB stick a few days ago (to have 2GB total). Have I wasted my money? Will I have to run my DDR400 RAM at 333Mz?
    Any suggestions?

    I tried disabling spread spectrum, froze again.
    Bugger it. I'll just stick with 333. I'll be getting another one (DDR400) in the mail in a few days, so I'll test that (by itself) and see if it can run at 400. Not that it will be much use even if it can.
    I was going to buy 2 sticks of 333 anyway, but the 400s are cheaper. So I guess even if I'm stuck at 333, I've still saved a few dollars.
    Nearly time to retire the Delta-LSR I think....

    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.

  • 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-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.

    Eiii, things are working now. I did some fiddeling in the Bios - Power Management feature.
    I just wonder why the BIOS defaults works this way now. Different than the "old" board.
