KT6 delta no power

Am I missing something obvious? Just purchased a KT6 motherboard and installed cpu, ram, graphics card and drives. I connected the power supply which is a 2 weeks old Hiper 525w ( http://www.hipergroup.com/products/hpu-4s525.html )which worked perfectly on my old set up. On pressing the power button nothing happenned. I've checked the front panel connections to the MB and they all seem correct. I'm pretty sure that the power supply is reaching the MB because after turning off the main power switch and turning it back on, I noticed that the cpu fan "twitched" when I pressed the front panel power button. Is there anything obvious that would stop the juice connecting properly?

Happy man now! I tried all of the suggestions about shorting but still nothing worked. I eventually tried an old psu on the motherboard with just the main board supplies connected and it all started powering up - so I knew it wasn't the board. I reconnected the New PSU and nothing worked so on a gut feeling I switched the floppy drive and graphics card power connectors over - they both use identical 4 pin connectors. I kept the system to minimum components, powered up and everything worked! the computer now works perfectly so to quote peter kaye.."whats that all about?" .

KT6 Delta Momentary Power

Ok. I just got my KT6 Delta and installed everything. I turned it on, and the fans and powersupply would turn on for about 1 second, then the computer would shut off.
To turn it back on, I would have to turn the PSU off, unplug the power cord, reconnect, turn PSU on, then hit the power button.
I uninstalled everything except for the CPU/HSF. Same problem. THEN When I removed the square 4pin 12v PSU cable for the CPU, it would power on, and the CPU Fan would run constantly - so the MB is getting power. When I plug the 4 pin connector back in - momentary power, then it shuts down again.
I've tried 2 powersupplies with the same effect - 350W Enermax, and a 350W no-namer junk. I've uninstalled/reinstalled CPU/HSF, took MB out of case - Everything. Any recommendations? I've scoured for hours all over the internet and the forums. I've seen other people with the same style of problem, but no answers.

It was the middle of the night. I'd tried putting the CPU in and out at least twice. I was sick and tired of trying...BUT, I figured one more try before I took it back. I reinstalled the CPU...and BAM - It worked. My computer is running now -
BUT, I have a 92mm Vantec Tornado as a processor fan, but my MSI board won't slow the fan down AT ALL - constant 5000rpm. It's like running a dustbuster at arms length. I've tried SpeedFan and all the MSI tools (Corecenter, etc) So, I spent the rest of the night trying to figure that out - no answers. I guess I'll have to get a new, quieter fan.
Funny thing is, I have the same Vantec Tornado on my Intel D850EMV2 board, and it automatically slows it down to a whisper. Guess Intel's fan control acctually works.
Oh, and I had to buy a copy of Windows XP, because Microsoft says I've exceeded my activation limit. Microsoft can kiss my ass while counting my money. Bastards.
Aren't computers fun?

MSI KT6-DELTA power Goes up but nothing happen after ...

I have An Msi KT6-DELTA board with an Athlon XP 2000+ processor , SAMSUMG 512 MB DDR 400 , GeForce 3 64 MB DDR , 300 Watt power supply + Volcano 9 fan .
The power light goes on when I start the comp and fans are starting but nothing else happen nothing on screen ;( . I check the D-Bracket to know what was the trouble by the four light on it , All light are RED saying that the processor is damaged or not installed properly . I try 3 processor on it , all processor was Ok so what's going on?
Are you thinking that my board is damaged? ?(

Hi,
I am running an KT600 LSR and I am having the same troubles. I push the button to start the computer and the fans come on.Nothing else happens until I press the reset button, then it starts normally. However it does search for a raid device every time it boots, None are connected so is there a way to make it stop searching? It sometimes hangs on that screen for 10 to 15 seconds.
Thanks,
Tj

Power Up probs with kt6 delta fis2r

I've recently changed my mother board and given my kt6 delta fis2r to my dad. It came out of my comp in fine working condition (earthed when removing etc.) It's now in my dad's case and when it's switched on it immidiatly switches off again. The bios was updated to 5.5 but was working for weeks before being moved. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Just spoken to him, he's had the board out on the box connected it accross and it does the same, it's not actually getting far enough to give anything on the d-bracket. I've got a spare power supply here that isn't a Q-Tec and we're gonna try it on that first. My bro has also had probs this weekend so I'm told, he had a KT6V with the same power supply, and is now running my dads kt4 ultra. My bros PSU isn't liking my dad's comp either, so I'm now wondering if it's something to do with the 4 pin power plug on both PSU's? Still confused tho as I havn't had any probs with the board while it was on my Q-tec PSU, just lucky I guess?
Thanks for all of the replies, I'll be changing my PSU asap.

KT6 Delta - Power off right after turning it on

Hi. I just installed my KT6 Delta and when I turn on the machine, it comes on for a few seconds but then turns back off by itself. I then have to unplug my power supply for about 5 seconds then plug it back in again before I can turn the machine on again.
On the D-Bracket, right before it turns off, it is at the state where all lights are red except the top right one, indicating something to do with the memory.
I know for a fact every component works perfectly because I am using them all right now on a different motherboard to write this.
Since I need to unplug my power supply before I can turn the computer on again, it seems as though something is shorting out maybe?
Anyone know what this could be?

The heatsink is a Thermalright SK7 and the fan is a Panaflo 80cm. The PSU is an Enermax 435W. 768 mb PC2100 memory. The other motherboard I have is an ASUS A7V8X. Like I said, everything was working perfectly in the ASUS. I got the KT6 Delta, moved everything over to it, turned it on and it would shut back off right away. So I moved everything back to the ASUS and it worked fine....for a little while. All of a sudden my computer rebooted and now it's been doing the same thing as the KT6 ever since.
I'm thinking of going out and buying a cheap Duron to test if it's the cpu. Is this a good idea do you think?

KT6 Delta won't power up....

When I press the power button, the power LED blinks but the system doesn't power up (fans twitch). The problem started when nephew messed with bios settings "temperature for CPU(?)" (he couldn't really tell me what exactly he did. (It appears to be an "acpi" problem.) I've pulled the battery from the board hoping that "resetting" the bios would resolve the issue but it doesn't appear to have helped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sys config
MB: MSI KT6 Delta LSR
RAM: Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512
CPU: AMD XP2500 333MHz
VC: MS-8878; GeForce4 MX 420 DDR 64MB
PS: Hercules 400W 115VAC, 7.0A, 50/60Hz
(all drives disconnected)
I believe that the setting "messed with" was the 'CPU Critical Termperature'
Mercenary: I've tried 3 power supplies from working systems with no results.
Toenne: I've followed the steps for clearing the CMOS as listed in the Guide.
Any further suggestions? (I'm completely baffled.)
Thanks to all who took the time to respond. Strange that the PS failed at the same time my nephew messed with the BIOS settings. Replaced the PS with a NEW PS and system booted and is running fine.

could it be that your nephew disabled the cpu critical temp option and then overclocked the cpu and got it overheating and burned it
Maybe you could try to reinstall the cpu, and check that the heat sink is correctly installed
...and by the way, i dont really believe that he could broke the psu with bios-settings

[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 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 - 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.

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.

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.

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.

[VIA] Problem with Creative X-FI on KT6 Delta FI2SR

Hi all
I have a KT6 Delta FI2SR with 1GB PC3200 400MHz DDR, and an Athlon 3200XP+, running BIOS 5.7 (latest).
I recently bought and added a Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS soundcard, and I have an issue....
The card was installed, is on IRQ19 (no conflicts anywhere with sound), and on-board sound is disabled.
Randomly, on cold boot, I get told "NVRAM Update OK", and then I get NO SOUND!
It stays like that until I reboot and it "Updates" again, or I clear the NVRAM in BIOS.
LOTS of people on the Creative Forum have reported similar issues with ASUS Mobos, and nForce chipsets, but this is an MSI with VIA!
ALL (and I do mean ALL) device drivers are up to date....
Can someone @ MSI look into this? ASUS have resolved their issue with BIOS updates, but nothing for this board for a while!
I've tried mailing MSI support BUT [email protected] AND [email protected] get SMTP failures (no known username).

I would hope the PSU is fine - it's a 620 watt PSU which I bought when I installed a GeForce 6800GT
Both motherboard power connectors are connected up. PSU has two outgoing rails, with 3 main Molex and 1 mini (floppy) adaptor on each rail.
In the machine we have :
1 x Asus V9999GT GeForce 6800GT AGP 8x card (with dual molex connectors)
1 x Creative X-FI Fatal1ty FPS PCI card
1 x Adaptec 29040UW SCSI controller PCI card
2 x 80GB Maxtor 7200RPM SATA HDD drives (as one RAID0 array)
1 x Creative Fatal1ty FPS front bay (powered - small connector)
1 x MSI Dual-Layer DVD+RW Drive
1 x HP Surestore 12/24 DDS3 DAT Drive
1 x Panasonic LS-120 HDD Floppy Drive
1 x IOMega ZIP 250 ATAPI Drive
Logitech cordless keyboard & mouse on PS2 connectors
COM1 has a trackball
COM2 is a signal cable for a Liebert Powersure UPS
LPT1 is disabled (I have a networked printer)
7 of 8 USB slots are currently in use : (Joystick, Bluetooth adaptor, Fuji 6900Z Camera, Primefilm 35mm film scanner (own power), HP Jornada 568 PDA (own power), Logitech QuickCam Home webcam, Wacom Graphire Tablet)
CPU fan is powered and adjustable, and the case has 7 controllable fans.
There is a SCSI scanner (own power) and the 17" LCD monitor connected (on it's own power) as well, and thats it.
I've disabled the Case LED (which was also powered).
Obviously there are a couple of power splitters in there to supply power to the various internals

Problem with KT6 Delta-LSR

Hello
I bought MSI KT6 Delta-lsr today and haven't had it work yet.
Usually when I turn on the power only fans start to run and i get memory or processor error from d-bracket leds. Memory chips and processor should be ok since sometimes If I clear cmos and start pc, it seems to start fine and all leds are green but system will hang in winxp loading screen. Changing options in bios doesn't seem to do any good, usually boot after editing bios will cause again memory or processor error.
Any idea what is causing this problem?
Specs.
Amd TB 1ghz -> too old for this mobo?
256mb seitec ddr 333 (also tested Twinmos memory chips)
Msi kt6 delta-lsr
Msi gf4 ti 4200
harddrives, cd, cd-rw, the usual stuff...

Thank you for moving this topic to right forum.
I was wondering if those memory chips just doesn't work with my processor.
Could someone explain me this fsb and ddr speed stuff? Not sure if my tb runs
with fsb 100 or fsb 133. Or does those setting even matter for ddr rams?
Manual says that if I have cpu speed 100 and 333 ddr it's not supported but 133 and 333 should work. Still pc sometimes seem to start up but freezes soon. So to me it seems memory and proccessor works.

KT6 delta no power
