KT6V-LSR problems

first sorry for my bad english... im from mexico
i buy this motherboard, but from the beginning I had problems... was restarted a lot... was not temperature problem, because all the components had used them in another motherboard and it always worked fine.
now the pc dont show anything and the d-brackets shows 4-red leds. but i check the processor in another pc and it work fine...
i can fix it?
or my motherboard is wrong and i need to change for another??
my components are:
cpu: amd athlon xp 2000+
ram: 256 mb ddr 400mhz shikatronics
hard disk: maxtor 40 gb 5200rpm
video card: radeon 7200 vivo
dvd-rom lite on 16x
power supply 550w
thanks

Hi
I might know what youre problem is i had the same problem on an
other msi mainboard  my d-led gave 4 red led's but my cpu workt fine on other mobo's   then it occured to me that the temp sensor in the socket could not touch the cpu.
I used a small clean screwdriver to bend it up a little so it could touch the cpu then everything worked fine.
I hope it's the same on youre mobo cause it was easy to fix.
greetings skagek

    Below you find a bunch of common 'Blue screens, mainly XP's'. The errors they represent mostly mean an immediate restart. You will hardly have the time to read them. But if you in BIOS disable restarting when sudden shutdown occurs, or in XP choose Start/Control Panel/System and go to Advanced, section Start and untic Automatic Restart, you will get more time to read them, and evaluate the message. Cause and likely fix are not universal, and these texts are also not so thorough. For more information consult http:\\support.microsoft.com and the knowledge base there.

  • 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?
    the system configuration is:

    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).  

  • 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!

  • KT6V-LSR LAN and USB problems

    This is my second KT6V-LSR, the first was dead out of the box - no power what so ever.
    I'm using an AMD Athalon XP 1600 and Windows 98 SE (wife's computer and I don't want the hassle of changing her over to XP).  She just uses it for internet and email and to create patterns for her embroidery sewing machine.
    When I installed the drivers from the CD, my USB would not work nor did the LAN.
    Looking at the system devices I see the following problems:
    For the Network Adapters - VIA RhineII Fast Ethernet adapter  I get:  The NDIS.VXD, NYKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (Code2)
    The VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB universal host controller I'm getting: The NYKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (Code2)
    Where are these supposed to be located?  I don't see them on the CD.
    I'm also glad to read that this board has a boot-up problem.  That is the main reason I got rid of the old ECS board.  It would sometimes lose it's BIOS when it booted.  At first I thought it was a cold problem, but then it would sometimes do it on a reboot.  And yes I did put in a new battery.  The problem was still there.

    Hello.
    Windows 98 is not recommended on the new boards as you may run into serveral problems with drivers.
    USB 2.0 drivers VIA 4in1 drivers
    Some drivers for you to try,
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=511&kind=1
    Is that windows 98 you are using or windows 98se?
    98 is a bad choice.
    You should use windows XP.
    Your other post about BIOS settings, post your questions there and people will try to answer them.   Online forums have all the answers.

  • KT6V-LSR Sata Raid 0 problems

    have been experiencing the following problem running raid 0 on sata.
    Running any game after a period the game either stops working and crashes to the desktop or I get bluescreened with various error including IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or Stop 0x0000008e  Win32k.sys.
    Has anyone else suffered this problem and found a solution.
    I have tried the following.
    I have tried Raid 0 and jbod with no difference
    Running a single Sata drive without raid the system appeared stable.
    Games refused to run without XP SP2
    The system ran fine on a single IDE
    I have had long discussions with Microsoft who were very pleasant but unable to help.
    I have rebuilt the system from scratch several times. It does not appear to matter what additional cards are installed.  
    My system is as follows.

  • [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 Boot Problems

    I'm only giving the specs for certain items because I'm only trying to boot it with these installed.
    KT6v-Lsr
    AMD XP 2400+ T-bred
    Thermaltake Volcano 6 cu+
    Antec 430 Watt PSU (+5v=36a, +12v=20a, +3.3v=28a, -5v=.5a, -12v=1.0a,+5vsb=2a)
    I've been having this problem since I bought this board and put it together earlier this week.  I first tried to power the system with my old Antec 300 Watt psu.  When I read the other posts on this board I went out and bought a 400 watt psu, same problem.  I finally went out and bought a better Antec 430 watt psu, still same problem.  Please help.  This is what happens when I try to boot up (same problem, all psu's) the D-Bracket leds show Sys Power ON, then Early Chipset Initialization, then Memory Detection Test... and then the system powers down.   I would think that with 20a on the 12v I would be set, so I'm starting to think the mobo is just bad, and might just return it.  Would appreciate any help though.

    In fact, feel grateful that the newer boards have the ability to detect the CPU temp rising too fast, and shut the system down to save that costly CPU's life  
    Without that little feature, you could fry a CPU in just a couple minutes  

  • 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

  • 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 

  • KT6V Quirky Problems

    I’m just beginning the process of upgrading my computer, and over the weekend swapped out an older Epox MoBo for a new MSI KT6V-LSR. I got everything hooked up and running, but I’m experiencing some strange problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I’m going a bit loopy  , and my wife is beginning to do a slow burn!    
    There are three facets to the problem, or possibly three separate problems...
    First, every third or fourth time I boot the system I get a Boot Failure error.     The error reads “Reboot and select proper Boot Device, or insert boot media in selected boot device.”
    Now nothing’s changed from one time to the next… and all I have to do is hit the reset switch and most times it boots right up and loads the operating system. When I first installed the system the boot sequence defaulted to: Boot Device 1 – disabled, Boot Device 2 – WD Hard Drive, Boot Device 3 – Boot from LAN. I changed this to: Boot Device 1 – WD Hard Drive, Boot Device 2 – TKD CD-ROM, Boot Device 3 – disabled. I’ve since switched it back to the original default settings, and it doesn’t seem to matter. The Boot Failure error shows up no matter which way its set.  
    Second, I have not yet been able to get the motherboard to acknowledge the Sony 1.44 mb floppy drive I’ve got installed. It might just be a bad cable, but its strange that it worked fine before I swapped out motherboards, and doesn’t seem to work now.  
    Finally, I’m getting a series of strange error messages from CoreCenter… but only in two of the three “logins” I’ve got set up. I’m running Windows XP Home Edition with SP1. I have three logins set up: one for myself (set as the system administrator), one for my wife, and one for the kids (who have their own computer, but sometimes need to use ours if they’re both working on homework at the same time). These errors DO NOT show up on my login… but DO show up under my wife’s and the kids!    
    The errors are as follows, and show up in this order:
         1) Error – The handle is invalid.
         2) CoreCenter: Failed to load hardware monitor driver.
         3) VBIOS – Flash_MMIO_Map DeviceIoControl error
         4) CoreCenter – No hardware monitor.
         5) CoreCenter – CoreCenter does not support your motherboard!
    Apparently CoreCenter only supports my motherboard when I’m using it! (kidding) Though my wife doesn't find that very amusing.  
    The Antec TruePower 380S power supply that came with my Sonata case is capable of outputting a maximum of 360 watts, and is rated as follows:
         +3.3 v = 28 a
         +5 v = 35 a
         +12 v – 18 a
    The rest of my system is shown below. Okay, any ideas?    Besides bashing my head agains a wall that is. Where do I go from here?

    Wow! I’m still not entirely convinced that I’ve seen the last of these troubles, but I’ve got to tell you that things are looking good.  
    First, I couldn’t agree with you more Fredrik. I was sitting in a meeting at work today and it suddenly dawned on me… why do I need CoreCenter when I can get all of the information and make all of the tweaks with other software or though the BIOS. So I had determined to take it out of my Startup menu when I got home. No more nagging CoreCenter error messages.  
    Then, when I got home, I read the post from Wonkanoby, and dug into the “Moan Guide” with enthusiasm. Sure enough, when I removed the jumper from my WD hard drive and rebooted everything worked fine. I’ve rebooted the computer seven or eight times just to be sure… and – cross your fingers – so far it hasn’t misfired once!    If it does fail to boot at some point I’ve still got the Boot Device 1 disabled or floppy delay that gilles mentions to play with… but I’m betting that won’t be necessary.
    I'm really impressed with the level of knowledge of the members of this forum… as well as your commitment to help out those less knowledgeable unfortunates such as myself. You guys (and gals?) are amazing.  
    Thank you cdm, KenD, pterhune, gilles, Wonkanoby, and Fredrik Åsenius. I appreciate all of your efforts to assist me.

  • 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
    MSI KT6V-LSR bios V1.9 08-27-04
    AMD ATHLON XP 2400
    768MB CORSAIR VALUE SELECT
    SOLTEK GF 440 MX SE
    SEVENTEAM 420BKV-03F (+3.3v=30A ;+5v=30A ;+12v1=16A and +12v2=16A [26A])
    HD 40GB SAMSUNG
    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?

  • KT6V LAN problem, please help! :)

    on-board LAN on KT6V MS-7021 not working... ive plugged in a 3com office 10/100 pci and it works fine. on-board LAN says its connected (lan, not net), and recognizes cable being un-plugged at the other end, wont ping anything... show workgroup... connect to the net etc...
    comp is 2 days old :( i'm downloading updates from MSI site right now, not sure if there actually updates to what ive got or not since the computer is so new.
    any suggestions ?

    codeblue20:
    Based on your symptoms, I'm willing to bet that you have the exact same problem that I have (which has already been alluded to by others above.)  My KT6V-LSR came out-of-the-box with an invalid MAC address (Ethernet address) set at the hardware level.  Reiterated, my KT6V-LSR came out-of-the-box with a MAC address of 11-22-33-44-55-66, which is invalid.
    The KT6V-LSR implements the VT8237 South Bridge chip, which internally implements the MAC layer where the MAC address is stored.
    Almost all Ethernet device manufacturers designate somewhere on their products what MAC address has been assigned to a particular device.  MSI is no different...the MAC address assigned to your particular motherboard should be on a label somewhere on the motherboard.  On my motherboard, the label was affixed to the side of the last PCI slot.  (If your computer is still constructed, then use a small angled mirror and flashlight to view the side of that PCI slot!)  There's no indication that it is a MAC address...I just recognized the standard 6 octets (bytes).  Sure enough, the first three octets are 00-0C-76, which is Micro-Star International’s “Organizationally Unique Identifier” (OUI).
    Following-up on gazx’s reply to you, the VIA “Rhine II” software driver allows one to dynamically change the MAC address at the application layer.  Note that this is a driver specific setting, and not all NIC drivers offer this option because it may not be applicable to the NIC’s design.  If you obtain the valid MAC address from the aforementioned label, and use the software driver to override what is set at the hardware level, everything will be peachy.  However, this is only a workaround (i.e., treating the symptom and not the problem.)  This workaround also has some deployment and support cost impacts for larger organizations (such as mine.)
    To truly solve the problem is to reprogram the VT8237 at the hardware level with the correct MAC address (i.e, so that no application-layer override is necessary.)
    We can all download the (latest?) VIA LAN drivers for this motherboard from MSI’s website.  Within the ZIP archive, there is a EEPROM programming utility.  Unfortunately, it is poorly documented.  It also seems to be the wrong utility for the KT6V-LSR.  The utility indicates that it is for the earlier VT8235 South Bridge chip, and not for the VT8237 chip that the KT6V-LSR actually implements.  Even if the utility is compatible with the VT8237, I sure couldn’t get it to work!
    Like most of you, I dread any RMA process, especially when the computer is already constructed.  I would much rather reprogram the VT8237 with MSI’s guidance!
    As of today, I have attempted to open a technical support case with MSI concerning all of this.  Wish me (us) luck!

  • 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"

  • 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!
