KT6V LSR (601-7021-020) Frequent Lockups

I have written to [email protected] 2x and have yet to hear back so have come here for help.
I have been experiencing frequent unexplained lockups with this motherboard since Jan 24, 2004. All lights go on the CPU with no mouse or keyboard. I have the latest drivers for sound card, video and the motherboard has been flashed with v1.3. There is no error explanation in Event Viewer under Application and System for the cause.
The only error found has to do with DHCP errors: Your computer has lost the lease to its IP address 192.xxx.x.xxx on the Network Card with network address 000xxxxxx. When I get this error there is no internet connection.
The DCHP errors occur daily and I cannot seem to resolve it. I contaced my router mfg and they told me to update the NIC driver but I do not know how to do it. Ive downloaded the ViaLan65.zip found at your site and unzipped it to a folder. Can you please give me some assistance to update this driver as there is no exe to do it.
Also there is NO IRQ Conflicts and no devices sharing an IRQ. The onboard via lan is on its own IRQ 23. I am stomped as to why I am getting these lockups and how to resolve the DHCP issues. I have cleaned installed XP Home SP1 (via slipstreaming) and still the lockups persists. Please HELP!
My system is as follows:

Memory: 512 MB of Ram
Motherboard Bios: V1.3

I would like some help with resolving these issues.
Thanking you

for the response Sharp.
I installed the hard drive with xp sp1 (slipstreamed on DVD) recently - June 14. It replaced a 60GB Quantum Fireball after it experienced corruption with this same motherboard. The 60GB was reformatted 3x before I replaced it with the Maxtor. I am hoping to resolve this issue while avoiding another format. So many formats with different orders in which drivers and software were installed. In all cases I didnt use the MSI CD. I will keep in mind the order next time I do a reformat.
Will get back to you on the CD/hard drive info. Expect for the sound card and hard drive everything was installed when I bought this board, case etc by a small outfit that has very big problem with communication. I will not rule out anything to resolve this.

MSI KT6V-LSR (MS-7021) Can't Boot From CD/DVD

New to the forum and would like to say hello to everyone first.
Here's my problem i can't boot from my DVD drive, my 2 HDD's and 2 DVD drives are working fine inside windows.
Inside the bios screen they are detected in the right order, and are in the right boot order. I checked the jumpers on them and they seem fine and i haven't touch them since i changed my dvd rewriter 6 months ago and i have booted from a cd since then.
I just booted up the Windows Xp disc on a differnt pc and it worked fine, yet on mine it goes straight to my XP OS.
I was hoping someone could help me out, thanks.

Did you install Nero 9 by any chance?
Even if you didn't, and old version of InCD can cause this too.
The problem is upper/lower filters, they are screwed and thus your CD's are missing in action.
Run this tool inside windows: ftp://ftp6.nero.com/tools/General-CleanTool.zip
As for booting, change the boot order in the BIOS, probably set to harddisk first.
If that doesn't solve it, disconnect one of the CD's and test with a single one, maybe one is broken and hinders the other, but that is my last guess.

KT6V LSR (MS 7021) SATA controller card second opinion, please

I want to thank Fredrik Asenius for his reply to my previous post.
However, due to the fact that the purchase of a SATA controller card and two SATA2 hard disks will be handled, of necessity, at a distance of 800 kilometers (involving courier expenses), the technician of the store has requested that I ask for a second opinion from another expert in the forum. An error, therefore, could be very costly. (No offense of any kind intended to Fredrik Asenius)
My motherboard is the MSI KT6V LSR (MS 7021) Via KT600 Northbridge and Via 8237 Southbridge chipsets.
Both SATA connections are currently taken up by two SATA hard drives (no striping, nor mirroring in use). The rest of the installation consists of IDE CDRW and DVDRW drives, as well as an MSI Nvidia NX6200AX (256 RAM) AGP video card and a Soundblaster Live Value PCI audio card. The other four PCI slots are not occupied. The system also has 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and a 520-watt PSU. I am running Windows XP SP2 Professional.
My questions are the following:
(1) Since the two SATA connectors on my motherboard are occupied, if I wish to add another SATA device I will have to install a SATA controller card. Does the SATA controller card have to be SATA 1 or can I also use a SATA 2 controller card?
IMPORTANTLY, the technician questions whether the motherboard will accept a controller card adding more SATA devices. He says that you cannot add any more SATA devices to this motherboard. Is he correct?
(2) If it is possible to add more SATA devices using a controller card, since the chipset on the motherboard is Via the SATA controller software is also from Via. Does the SATA controller card also have to be one that uses the Via SATA RAID software? (In other words, are there compatibility issues? Can all this all work together?)
Once again, thanks for the help.

I have had a fair amount of experience with this kind of issue.
1. No, the add in card does not need to be SATA I, it can be SATA II. I recommend a SATA II card and SATA II drives. Putting SATA II drives on a SATA I controller can fail to work.
2. Is he wrong? Essentially, yes he is wrong. It depends on how literally you take his words. You can NOT add more SATA drives to the motherboard. You CAN add an add-in SATA card and then put the additional SATA drives on that new add-in card. The difference in wording the answer is critical.
You ask about the Via chipset on the motherboard and also on the add-in card. Actually, it is probably LESS likely that the add-in card will work if the chipsets are the same. The issue is the computer being able to differentiate between the two controllers. I had this very problem with a machine.
That computer had two add-in cards. Each was the same brand. The computer could not differentiate between the two cards and gave a hardware error. I replaced one of the cards with another brand and it works fine. The manufacturer suggested trying the cards in different PCI slots. I did not try that, I just got a new card because it was easier for me.
The add-in card does NOT need to support RAID, that is optional. If you do not want to use RAID, the card does not have to support it. If you do want to use RAID, obviously the card does need to support it. RAID is part hardware and part software so if the card supports it and you do not to set it up as RAID, that is fine.
One caution...If the add-in card has an external port that you want to use, be aware that there is something called e-SATA that might use an incompatable type of port connecter. I had a card with that connecter and I found that the cables are extremely expensive and also hard to find. Most external SATA connectors are the SATA I style that you are used to though.

MSI KT6V-LSR, (MS-7021) and WinXP after upgrade

I upgraded from K7T266 Pro 2 to MSI KT6V-LSR (VIA KT600) and Windows XP (Home edition) boot correctly, but after auto-loging they stop responding to me (I can move mouse+keyb), but the system is running (after 5 minutes screen saver starts). I see, that XP wants (P&P)to install new CPU (Athlon XP 2200+). Safe or debug mode does not help. Is it necessary to reinstal Windows ? Is there any chance to repair the system?
(When I gave there old CPU - Athlon 950, the system P&P halted on detecting CD-ROM).
Thanx for helping or giving me some link on the web.

So then this is not a fresh install of win xp on the KT6?
Also what is your full system spec's Please include Power supply AMP's

[VIA] MSI-7021 (KT6V-LSR) and Sempron 2500 problem.

I bought a AMD Sempron 2500 1.75ghz and a MSI-7021 KTV6-LSR, I connected the Sempron to the motherboard and powered up, well I got power to the fans, but no activity and no sounds. I plugged in the LED diagnostic kit that came with the motherboard and all 4 red lights are on, according to the manual this means either a fault with the CPU or it aint seated properly. So I reset the CPU and the same 4 red LED's came on again. I thought it could be a PSU supply problem, so I disconnected all the hard drives and the DVD-ROM drives and still the same problem occured. So I decided to test my old Athlon 1.2gig CPU in the motherboard and the same problem occured again, no activity and all 4 red LEDS on the diagnostic. I also disconnected the 2 DDR memory chips.
I dont have one of those 4 pin power connectors, do I need on of these.
I tested the new Sempron in my old PC motherboard, an ASUS A7V-E and it powered up without any problems, so obviously it cannot be the new Sempron CPU that is fauly.
Can someone point me in the right direction. I hope I have supplied enough information.

I would need the 4 pin even for a old Athlon Socket A CPU too. Why is this exactly, does the KTV6 use more watts than a normal older mobo.
You need the 4-pin because it is part of the mainboard's design power. That 4-pin connector exclusively supplies your processor. No 4-pin lead = no power to the processor.
And you are better off with the Antec than the Tagan. Tom's Hardware, based in Germany where Tagan is prevalent, has had nothing but failures from Tagan power supplies. Most recently THG chose a Tagan for their Intel and AMD Stress Test - the Tagan died. To be fair, the Tagan was a pre-production test unit, but the authors did make a point of saying this was not the first Tagan that has died in their lab.

Kt6v-LSR 3200 Barton Problem

Looking for a little info, I've got a Kt6v-lsr mobo running XP 3200 Barton Core clock @ 200mhzx11. For some reason the board is showing it as a duron processor running @ approx 2209 MHz. L1 & L2 cache is 64 & 128 respectively which is all wrong for a 3200 Barton. FYI, my bios is 2.0 which I believe is the most current.
Either I have a messed up CPU or some setting wrong in the bios. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

to be sure, remove the cpu heatsink and note down the CPU code as explained in the How To Identify Your CPU link i posted earlier
as for the 3200+ 333FSB, you may have to take my word for it, as it was limited, AMD no longer have any info on their website
even some google searches don't bring much up now
going from memory, the company i used to work for, we used a lot of these MSI boards that i can't find on MSI's site any more. i know it didn't have a model name printed on the mobo, and even the manual just called it the MS-6729, but i have seen similar looking boards referred to as "K7N2-V" and "K7N2-IL".
now as far as i can remember, they were a green PCB, nforce2 chipset with integrated Geforce4 MX graphics, with just the basics: USB, FireWire, 3 DDR slots for Dual Channel. it supported a max CPU of 333mhz, but i do remember at a later point they started coming with a "Ultra400" sticker on southbridge chipset - or i might be getting confused with the K7N2 Delta boards we then started using
i remember we had to do a BIOS flash when we started using 3200+ on the MS-6729, otherwise the CPU was recognised as a 3100+. my memory is fading now (ok, it was 2 and a half years ago!!) but i'm sure the first 3200s we had were 333FSB, and then they became 400FSB, which was why we started using K7N2 Delta instead.
has this jogged anyone else's memory? did the MS-6729 green nforce2 mobo really exist, or is it all a cruel figment of my imagination? and was there ever really a 333FSB Barton 3200+??
maybe the heat is getting to me

12V On Powersupply KT6V-LSR?

Hey,
I currently have a KM2M Combo L mobo, and I want to upgrade to a KT6V-LSR mobo, and also PC2100. My power supply is totally great with my current setup, but will it be sufficient for the KT6V-LSR? I have a dell PSU laying around w/more amps on the 12v line, 16A actually, my current specs are below, and im not changing anything w/new mobo besides adding 512mb PC2100. Help appreciated, i dont want to run into problems...:(

Well, I Put The Dell Power Supply In (250W) and It Works Like A Dream! All Voltages Are Higher, And Dont Move Around As Much, Played Far Cry For 3 Hours, Not A Jitter! You Can Tell, Just By Feeling How Solid And Heavy The Dell PSU Is, Compared To That 'TurboLink.' The TurboLink Was So Light And Flimsy, You Could Push The Sides In!!!!! As For Motherboards, I Purchased On Newegg.com The SOYO KT600 Dragon Plus 1.0. Sorry MSI, Still Love Ya! Juss Lower Your Prices. I Also Downloaded The SOYO Manual, And It Said At Least 350W, BULLLL. If you HAVE A QUALITY Power Supply, You Can Run Anything On It! My Dad Had This Power Supply (Just Bought A Antec TruePower 430W To Replace-Had SATA Plugs) And Was Running The Following On It....
DELL 865PE CHIPSET MOBO
P4 2.4GHZ
512MB PC 2700 DUAL CHANNEL
80GB HITATCHI 7.2K RPM
ATI RADEON 9800 PRO (OC'ED TO 436/884)
SB LIVE 5.1
I/O MAGIC 8X BURNER (DVD)
48X NEC CD BURNER
2 CASE FANS - 1 CYCLONE PCI FAN, 1 120MM CASE FAN
If He Can Power All Of THAT!!! I Can Sure As Hell Get Away With It On My SOYO. And He Also Had NO LOCKUPS What So Ever.
As For That Turbolink, Im Selling It On Ebay, Along With My KM2M, Athlon T-Bird, And 256 MB Ram.
Thanks To All Who Have Ever Helped Me With My MSI. I'm Sure I'll Come Back And Post A Problem With My SOYO Under "Everything Under The Sun" Section!
Goodbye MSI. Helooooo SOYO!

I installed 6 operating systems on my pc (WinXp Home Edition Turkish/English,WinXP Pro Turkish/English,Win98 Turkish/English) and tested it, but every time i meet the same thing (MS Blue Screen Of Death Sux...).I checked the WinXP`s logs and searched for error code`s meaning from microsoft knowledge database. They are saying nothing about this problem but the problem`s root is coming from a bad device driver. It seems to be a generic problem for all operating systems cuz all of them were restarting themselves randomly, before i close "auto-restart on critical errors" option.After i saw some messages on forums , i searched for my RAM maker`s home page then i learned that my RAM is assembled with VIA KT Series and SIS chips & optimized for them. I think nForce is too picky about rams.But i aint sure about where the hell is this problem coming from. If you guys are sure about that is an unsupported ram problem and knew the list of ram marks&models that supported by MSI K7N2 Delta -L ,please help me about this damn problem. Thanks for your help.
Note : I tried Asus Ati Radeon 9200SE 64mb g.adapter (some peoples told me thats about g.adapter), but problem continued.

If I read correctly in your specs I see only 11 Amps on the +12v Rail. Is this correct?
If so, I'd advise a PSU that has at least 18 amps on the +12v Rail, perhaps as low as 16 with the other rails to match as shown currently in your spec.
11 Amps is just way too underpowered for that rig. I am surprised it even boots.
At what point does the BSOD occur?

Upgrade to KT6V-LSR gone wrong, system freezes and BSOD's

Hi guys!
I just recently bought a KT6V-LSR to replace and Asrock K7S41GX motherboard. After putting all together (specs on signature) installed windows from scratch in a new partition on the master drive. Installed VIA 4 in 1, DirectX 9.0c, Catalyst 5.03, Realtek sound driver, LAN driver, USB patch, all of them were the latest versions available from the corresponding site, everything while the pc was not connected to the internet.. When I installed the Catalyst driver, rebooted the computer and it started testing the computer to find the "most stable settings" according to the installation said. The screen got all srambled but it seemed to bel going on, on the installation process it said that it'll take about 1 minute, waited about 5 an then restarted (it said that the test might cause the system not to respond anymore and that if it happened, restart it), it started all right. Then I installed NAV 2005. Installed acrobat reader. Then I tried to install Office 2003 and the system froze when it was about 15% of the copying files process. Restarted it and then the system crashed again the same way. If I leave the system running idle, it crashes randomly. It didn't show up with a BSOD at the beginning but now it shows
kernel_stack_inpage_error
0x00000077 (0xc000000E,0xc000000E,0xc00000000, 0x01b42000)
and another one
kernel_stack_inpage_error
0x0000007A (0xE14F862c,0xc000000E,0xcBF97B704, 0x02c23860)
(once each)
I'm thinking (from what I have read here) it might be the power supply, but since here in costa rica it's almost imposible to find a decent 400W PSU and I won't have the 100 bucks it costs for a couple of weeks more, is there anything I should try?
Temps on the system are 45-49 idle, 53-55 load. Applied thermal grease to the HS&F before installed it.
the 12+ (I've read is very important since the KT6V is very hungry on this rail) is showing up about 12 on the core center, but I've read that is not really representative...
Haven't updated to BIOS version 2.0 yet...
I checked the memory, ran only 1 stick and then the other one, on both slots.
I'm open to any advice, for sure I'll replace the PSU but that's gonna take a couple of weeks and I wanted to check if there's something I could try in the mean time.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey , Ford Tech , can you give an explanation of what the setup with the CD drive and the master harddrive on IDE 1 will do .
I have the same PSU nazgoth has .
I'm just interested in the affect that setup will have with the power in the system .
If you have noticed my posts its more of a house electricity thing with my setup , the harddrive not getting enough power , temporarily I hope .
Not really a voltage concern.But I guess it could if both drives are running at the same time.With IDE, one is limited to two drives in a chain, and these drives cannot work at the same time. In essence, they must "take turns".So by putting 1 HDD as primary master and cd as slave,you will get the full performance of your drive.Most peeps only run CD roms for program installs and or CD burning or copying anways.
As far as the cable,yes there are 80 wire flat cables that work just fine.The only reason to go to the round cables is to improve air-flow and or the length of the cable itself.
I am sure many people use it the old fashion way with no problems.I just experienced a performance issue when I had HDD's on the same chain.It was mainly because I load all my games on my D drive.It also kept defaulting it to PIO mode which is the slowest mode.Since swaping the drives around on the chain(IDE1=HDD-Operating system-primary master and CD burner as Primary slave)(IDE2=HDD-Storage/gaming-secondary master and my DVD rom as secondary slave)Both drives run in UMDA-MODE-5 set up that way with no more problems

I can't install Windows 98 on a KT6V-LSR

I used to be able to dual boot Win98 and 2K from different partitions on a single 80Gb hard drive. Needed the Win98 only because my old Matrox capture card has no drivers for the newer OS’s. When I changed my mobo to an MSI KT6V-LSR (Via KT600) I couldn’t get the Win98 partition to work (I didn’t have to wipe it through 2 earlier mobo changes. I guess it couldn’t stand the 3rd)
The previous setup was like this, all on a 1-1/2 year old 80gb Maxtor:
Primary partition, 753 mb, FAT32, Windows 98
1st logical partition, 11gb, NTFS, Windows 2K Pro
2nd logical partition, 25gb, FAT32, for video files
3rd logical partition, 40gb, FAT32, for all my data, downloads, etc
I could get the standard Windows OS selection page upon boot. This time whenever I try to install Windows 98 I get the above “serious error” message right after the partition check by scandisk. It's not the installer's fault, it's been with me for a long time. Worked flawlessly before.
I am able to install Win2K on NTFS or FAT32. It is only when I try to install Win98 that I get slammed with this error. I can’t use my capture card and that’s where I earn a little.
The drive passes both the Maxtor diagnostic software (full system scan) and the Seatools generic test (full system scan).
There are no viruses detected (my software may be faulty, though).
PartitionMagic 7 fails to create the small partition I need for Win98, saying “cannot create partition, anti-virus software may be running” But I have disabled any virus settings in BIOS and I am using PartitionMagic from the boot diskettes.
Really stumped here. Can’t afford to buy a new drive right now just so to transfer my files and wipe the current drive.
In summary, the drive allows me to install Win2K on either NTFS or FAT32. But it will not allow me to install Win 98, whether on a Primary partition or the first logical partition (i.e. after Win2K has already been installed)
I have since been able to install Win98. But I had to connect the Drive to a Promise Ultra66 IDE controller.
Question is, is the new hardware really incompatible with the old OS?
THEN... On two consecutive nights, my registry in Windows 2000 got corrupted (hive corruption). And I have had to reformat and reinstall both times. I am worried now that the mobo I got may have serious faults.
Hope you can give me quick feedback on this.

Hello,
You should be able to use windows 98 with this motherboard.
Can you try this.
Format the drive with only 1 partition (80GB FAT32)
Use maxblast to do this.
Remove the Ultra ATA66 PCI controller.
Remove the sound card.
Plug the hard drive in IDE cable 1 (set it to master too)
Plug your CD drive to IDE cable 2, set it to master.
Reset your CMOS
Now when you power up, enter the BIOS
go to Frequency/voltage control
Set the CPU to 166Mhz FSB (it should be running at 1.667Ghz)
CPU Ratio = Auto
go to advanced chipset configuration >DRAM settings
Set the memory to 333Mhz(166Mhz)
Go to Standard CMOS setup.
Press on your Hard drive
Set the mode to LBA
Also change your boot order to
Floppy
CD ROM
Your hard drive
Go to integrated peripherals
Disable the onboard sound
Now save and exit.
Boot from the windows 98 CD
See what happens.

HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II vs MSI KT6V-LSR: How to install?

Hi everybody,
Ok, i will try to explain the problem with my bad english, so please dont laugh!
I have two modeboards, the MSI KT6V-LSR and ASUS A8N-SLI SE, recently i acquired the HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II for the ASUS, and it works perfectly. So i needed to install this HD SATA II in the KT6V-LSR and i followed some proceedings first:
*The HD already had the XP SP2 installed using the ASUS one
1_i placed the jumper and the HD changed to 150
2_i pluged the data cable in the right conector and the power cable (i tryed in both channels, but only in one the hd is reconized)
3_removed the ide pata 40gb (samsung too)
4_Enabled ide sata in bios
5_configured to boot using hd sata
The system rebooted always just after the bios scrreenies. Strange, the HD PATA worked, came from the asus too! So i decided to format this HD sata. Like always i followed this steps:
* My XP cd dont have service packs and boot system
1_i used a floppy with WINME boot + smartdrive
2_delete partition, create and set active
*3_format c:
4_f:cd i386
5_f:i386\winnt
*Other strange thing, the formatting time just take a few seconds unlike the several minutes that normaly takes.
I started to install the XP anyway, and after the copy of files from cd to hd, during the first boot appears a blue screen, and the messages are relationed to the new HD, so the installation stop. I tryed several times but the same thing happened.
The HD sata is reconized in the windows, shows patitions, i transfered 13gb from it to the hd PATA, but i had to boot using the PATA one. I want to use this HD SATA like master, bootable, not like slave.
How to install it, how to format it properly?
I hope that my confusing explainations are sufficient to you understand the problem.
Some help please!
And thank you very much

HD 250GB SATA II (that dont works in this motherboard!)

This being really difficult to explain the problem with my so bad English. I go to try to use a translator online, ok?
I use the floppy of boot of the WIN ME, is through it that I obtain to define the partitions, to format hd, and to install the XP. I always made this and always it functioned, also with this HD SATA II samsung 250GB, but only using motherboard ASUS A8N-SLI IF. But when I go to make these procedures using the KT6V-LSR, I do not obtain to format hd right and I do not obtain to install the XP. Then the problem happens before installing the XP, during the formatting. So i want to use only de hd sata, not the HD PATA.
Another thing, I read in one fórum of my country that the KTV6-LSR can damage and even though to “kill” the hd sata. This is really?

MSI KT6V-LSR and MSI 6600gt

Hi Guys Im new to the forums here being pretty much a noob I could really use your help. Ive serched through the forums here but never really could get any answers.

KT6V-LSR boot problem

I encounter a strange problem(which I think is because of main board):
- Sometimes when I press the power on button(to power on the system),then the system don't really starts, only the HardDisk(red) LED is ON, the PowerOn(green) LED is OFF. The monitor remains black, with a LED blinking.
- While the system is in state described before, if i press the Reset Button, then: the PowerOn(green) LED turns ON too,the monitor receives signal(it's LED stops blinking, by remanining ON), and the system starts OK(everything is ok).
What can be the problem?

Hello,
Did you build this PC or did someone else build it?
Open the PC, remove the case side panel and check the JP1/case connectors.
Check if the power switch, reset switch, hdd LED are Power LED are plugged in the right place.
The best way to do this is to remove all the case connectors and start again, plug 1 at a time and see if it works better.
Start with the front case power switch first, plug it in and see if the PC starts when you press it.
Make sure the PC is off when you do this, (turn on when you are ready to test).

Kt6V-LSR Bootdisk corrupt no way to install windows :(.

Ok, I've asked lots of people and gone tons of places, and still don't understand how to make a new kt6v lsr bootdisk so I can use my Seagate 80 gig SATA HD, I know that you have to Press F6 on windows XP startup and then wait till it says to press "s" then press enter after you insert the drive, But everytime it gives me this error, "File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error (4096) at lime 1742 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.
Press any Key to continue."
Now this is the first computer I've ever build myself, but I followed every direction, and now this happens :(. Can anyone help me out?

I'm really no good at this, but found this on the net:
http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/5327/
Short excerpts:
1 You need your 120 gigger on the primary IDE.
set it up
IDE-1
WD 120 Gig(master)
2 I had the same error trying to set up XP on a raid drive: " caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in d:/xpclient/base/boot/setup/oemdisk.c."
it turns out the problem was in txtsetup.oem. This is basically what Mano Chema said above but I thought a specific example might be helpful to people who (like me) are a little slowt . The offending line was:
d3 = "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Driver Diskette", \ITERAID, \WIN2K_XP
But actually the path to the driver is \WIN2K&XP (note the & instead of _). I renamed the directory to match what was in txtsetup.oem and then it worked fine.
Generally it appears that error 18 should be something more informative like "Failed to find driver file, check the path specified in txtsetup.oem"

Problem Kt6v-lsr

HI..I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A MAINBOARD KT6V-LSR, THE PROBLEM is:
I' NOT ABLE TO START WINDOWS BECAUSE TO START THE CPU, THE ICON OF CORECELL CHIP APPEARS IN THE MONITOR AND BLOCKED THE CPU, THE KEYBOARD AND THE MOUSE don't RECOGNIZE THEM AND I' NOT ABLE TO IN THE BIOS AND I DON'T NOW WHAT HAPPEND. I NEED HELP BECAUSE THE GUARANTEE DE MI BOARD ALREADY EXPIRES.. THANK YOU AND EXCUSE FOR THE ENGLISH BUT I DONT SPEAK -WRITE ENGLISH...
BYE
Guido.

No, sorry, this was the original PSU. I put down the wrong wattage before.
I appreciate your help, but what you aren't getting is that I can't get TO the BIOS settings to change the FSB or other CPU settings. It hangs before I can get to that point.
According to the manual, the LED display that I posted is for when the MB is initializing or loading the BIOS. This is just after initializing the video, which does come up then. It never gets past this BIOS load point., so there is no possibility to enable/disable CoreCell or any BIOS settings. I'm wondering if the BIOS is blown or something?
There are no LED codes for problems, just indications of where the system is during POST. So if it hangs, it just means that it didn't complete this step. In other words, there is no indication that there are wrong CPU settings, etc.
BTW, the CoreCell logo is just part of the screen display at this point. I don't think it means that CoreCell is being loaded or setup here. Its just a static logo display.
This is a new, out-of-the-box MB, so the BIOS has never been changed as far as I know.
The only thing that has occurred, is that I tried to bring the board up without the 4 pin 12V cable being attached for CPU pwr connector. Using this cable is new to me, so I wasn't sure whether it was needed or not. But the MB (obviously) wouldn't even start without this 12V cable. Once I put the 12V cable in, then it booted to this point and then hung.
I tried again to reset the CMOS with JBAT1 jumper. I unplugged the AC from the PSU. then put the jumper to reset for 5 minutes. I also popped the battery out for 5 minutes too. Still the same results!
