Msi k7n2 delta-l agp support

what kind of graphic cards does k7n2 delta-l support?
i want to upgrade in order to just play c&c 3 so start from the best ones thanks

 I suppose a Radeon AGP 3850 would be the best.
 For MSI I think this is it for current AGP: RX2600PRO-T2D512Z/D2 & RX2600PRO-T2D256Z/D2   http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodpage2&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=137&cat3_no=173

  • XFX GeForce 7600GS 512mb AGP with MSI K7N2 Delta Problem

    Hi, I have been searching in everyplace and still I havent find a solution.
    I have the XFX GeForce 7600GS 512mb AGP card.
    I use the MSI K7N2 Delta.
    My Processor its the AMD 2600+ XP
    my PSU its a 420watt
    my RAM its 2gb DDR 400
    I made everything in the bios, didnt work.
    I updated the lastest drivers and bios, didnt work.
    I went to a friend house, he use a P4 motherboard with 500watts. Worked, PERFECTLY.
    I changed the card once (the first one didnt worked at all) but this one worked...
    now the question is:
    HOW I MAKE IT WORK IN MY PC  ?????????
    Can anyone help me?  I dont wanna sell it to a friend for only 60$ (that the only costumer I have found for the card in Panama)

    Heh I had problems with trying to see again was what happening in my PC but yesterday....
    Ok I went to my friend house, we used the card with his 350 watts 15A in the 12V+ and it worked.
    Then we tried to install the PSU but I dont know why its 4pin was incompatible with mine....
    Well heres the important part: I went to a local Computer Store where they repair too and with another more powerfull PSU in my PC  and the card didnt worked for seconds, but the guy played a little with my Ram and he noticed that its posible to that be the problem. Remember that my ram its a Kingston 400DDR 2X1 Gb running in the purple and the green slots of the mobo. when we changed them to both purples slots of the mobo the PC dosent work and make a the beep sound. I have the braket in my computer and it showed a red dot here:  GR
                                                                                                                                                                                                               GG
    Gonna search the manual to know what that means.

  • Strange phantom restarts on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Just wanted to see if I could get opinions on this. My MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo runs real nice now, but still, on occasion, very rare and intermittently, it will just restart. Not likely a heat issue, as the temps are nice and low. Also, not just happenning when I'm playing a game or anything strenuous. Did it once while checking email, once during install of an MS Office program, and once during a game. Could it be my old Gforce 2 MX 200 video card, as the picture sometimes gets wavy (like fine waves on an ocean), and the old computer it was in did similar things, or is it common with this mobo.
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
    Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
    1026 MB Kingston DDR RAM (2x512 Dual)
    Gforce 2 MX 200 AGP 4x
    WD 60 GB 7200 RPM

    I had errors on test 4 not 5 with Winbond 2-512 Dual Channel called Hardcore Cooling and they said that getting errors with memtest86 may not mean that the ram is defective, it may not be compatible with the memory comtrol and they had me RMA it back. I also was not able to run the ram stable at there advertized rate of 6 2 2 2 it was only stable at 8 3 3 2.5
    I replaced it with OCZ after talking to there Tech support people about compatiblety problems with the Nvidia chipset. Sense I installed the OCZ I only had one ram reboot and when I checked I was running the voltage at 2.5 and OCZ said that I should be running at 2.6. They also said that I could run it up to 2.8 with no worry.
    Look on manufactor web site to see what ram timing yours should be running at and what voltage, Auto setting in Bios is not always the best setting.
    If it still not stable at manufactor spec than I'd talk to who ever you bought it from about replacing it or refund and buy something thats on the Nvidia compatible list.
    Most ram manufactors have a list of motherboards that there ram will work on but sometimes the newer boards like K7N2 or not listed yet as still working that out.

  • MSI K8T Neo2 F vs. MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Hi there !
    I have an amd Athlon XP 3200+ overheating problem, and contacted the technical support of the shop where the processor and CPU was coming from.
    Since they do not have any XP 3200+ to replace mine, they propose me to replace fro free :
    - the XP 3200+ by an AMD Athlon 64 3200+
    - my actual MSI K7N2 delta ILSR by an MSI K8T Neo2 F
    ... and this for free.
    Since I do not know this new motherboard that has been proposed, I'd like to have advice on if this is a good deal ?!?
    My actual system has :
    - an Aluminium case with 2x 12cm FAN's
    - 2 IDE hard drives
    - 1 SATA hard drive
    - TWINX Corsair XMS 2x256MB PC 3200L (Extreme low latency)
    - an AGP 8x video card
    - An Antec True Power 480W.
    will the new motherboard fit with this configuration?
    Many thanks for your input !

    Not really, unless you really want to oc your cpu. The K8T boards aren't that good in OC-ing. But still, some is possible and you'll be sure that the board is as steady as a rock.
    For a moment I thought you were talking about a Neo board ... but I just saw it's a Neo2. That means Socket 939 -> dual channel RAM.
    The only risk you have now, is that your RAM won't work in dual channel with the CPU. But that's not really a board-problem, more a CPU/RAM-controller related problem. But then, it's still a great offer and chances are good that it will work. If you run into any trouble, RAM-related, just flash bios to version 1.9 and you will probably be just fine.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chip

    I tried to install 3 of the Crucial Ballistix Tracer (1 Gig Each) in this motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chipset) and it will not run stabilly no matter what I tried. Is this a bios conflict with the memory? If so, are there any new bios updates? I have tried cas settings and voltage settings but nothing works. It will how ever run perfectly with only 2 sticks in single channel mode. It will not run same 2 sticks in dual channel mode. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know of any new motherboards with maybe NFORCE 4 Chipset that support all 3 sticks of this memory and an AGP graphics card? Im thinking of a new motherboard but I still need to have AGP and SATA.
    Barton 3200 core proc.
    System has ran fine for a solid year until I tried new memory. Please help!

    Quote from: freakytiki4u on 07-November-06, 23:42:33
    Ok I tried to use relaxed FSB by -10 and relaxed mem timings but still unstable due to the motherboard trying to use dual channel memory. If you can modify the bios to where it will not have the capability of dual channel memory I truly believe it will work. Will u try this for me? I would greatly appreciate it as I am really not ready to spend all the money on new equipemtn when this suits my needs for now.
    sure but as i said before this is gona be experimental and risky. Here we go:
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Experimental MOD E1(Disable Dual CH ability)
    Procedure is automated in best possible safest way to BIOS update.
    Prepare a blank diskette in a good condition(newest one etc.)
    ]execute file under XP will make bootdisk with automated BIOS update procedure. when diskette is ready, reboot PC and boot from FDD(floppy), wait a bit, then you will be asked for final confirmation about BIOS update process, press a key to proceed, after BIOS update is complete, ensure that you got successfully output message from flash program. then power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit power button several time to drain caps electrify, touch with hands some metal for ES discharge, and Clear CMOS.
    pull back power cord, power up your PC, when you see CMOS checksum error,(expected msg) hit F1 to continue to re-build DMI pool data, then reboot and enter in BIOS, LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, and SAFE AND EXIT.
    NOTE: Ensure your PC is stable before proceed with BIOS update.
    NOTE: Use it at own risk, chance of failure is big, cannot guarantee results and safest as provisional mode which can guarantee it will work stable with features. also cannot test it personally before give you. (don't have mobo anymore)
    Using it may end with dead mainboard (BIOS chip re-flash will be required, if somethink goes wrong)

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Wont boot up (no display no bios)

    Hi
    i bought a AMD Athlon XP 3200+ & MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR.
    unfortuntly i can't boot it. it wont show anything on screen.
    i have tried anything i red in this forum (clear cmos... safe mode jumper...strip all parts...)
    all i get is : 
    blank black display, no beeps and keyboard lights flashes over and over (when connected to a KVM hub), when conected directly to keboard the lights flashes only once but stil black display and no beeps (i hear on speake,when powering up PSU, a silent short noise, no beep).
    power suply turns on (new one 500w), i tried agp video card and replaced with pci video card.
    memory is kingstone 512mb pc3200 400MHz x2, i tried only one of them and both in diferent sockets.
    cpu: AMD xp 3200+ 400fsb.
    i did succed to go into bios only once, after lots of resets and shutdowns and bios clear (after ouers)
    i choosed in the bios: load bios defaults, and thats it. i hoped it starts up but nothing.
    i did all testing i know (checked all pins, cables, clear cmos...all, you name it)
    all parts are brand new (except motherbord. it's seconds hand from eBay. i've bean talled that it works fine)
    i also e-mailed MSI support that question. (2 days ago. no answer yet)
    oh...and i have a pci POST diagnostic card and its 7seg display don't shows any numbers, only when once i succed to get into bios. i don't have the msi original D-Breket addon diag.
    can you help me?

    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?

  • Kate needs HELP!!! MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Guys...
    pls help me...
    I am assembling, yes I know I am a techi girl...., msik7n2 with radeon9600 and 2xCorsair Value Select 256Mb DDR 400Mhz PC3200 mem...(hence 512mb)
    I installed everything assembled it... booted and loaded fine for about 3 times...
    and suddenly....
    >power on
    >no video
    >no beeps
    >after checking hard nothing happens...
    >only thing I can tell is that the d bracket is indicating "memory section"
    ....d-bracket from MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR is 1,3,4 red and 2 green. Which is according the the manual "Memory Detection Test"-if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly.
    Why woudl a memory suddenly not work?
    I know I was adjusting bios for this and that....  
    I think just before this happened.. I adjusted something on agp setting... but what ahs that got to do with memory?
    COuld it be the mobo or memory or the video card???
    pls help....
    My email is [email protected]...
    please please help...
    and guys in MSI what is your expert opinion? mobo? or memory?
    Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllp...
    thanks...

    hi and welcome to this forum.
    nice to se a girl here for a change
    clear cmos jumper jbat1.
    also try safe mode jumper j10 ans j11.
    also try to reseat memory and dont trust the dbracket to 100%.
    it can show wrong sometimes.

    COuld it be the mobo or memory or the video card???
    when you got it running then run http://www.memtest86.com to check memory,
    also what psu do you have ?
    post max amps on 3.3v 5v and 12v rails.
    minimum is 28 35 16.recommended is higher.

  • Data corruption on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Hi all,
    Just got my new MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR up and running.
    Got some issues with the memory running at 200mhz while the Barton core of my Athlon Xp 2600+ was running 166mhz, this had to be 1:1 (thx forum  )
    While running the default bios settings with cpu/mem at 166/166 fsb everything is stable as hell. I have been running Prime95 for 2 days now and using the system for dvd ripping/encoding, UT2004 gaming etc.
    Then the overclocking began   I'm using the standard AMD cooler that came with my boxed Xp2600+ so I didn't expect an FSB of 200mhz.
    I stopped at an FSB of 190mhz...been crunching Prime95 for 18 hours now and again very stable.
    Now comes the problem : Sometimes I get crc errors when installing a game or decrypting a dvd!! But how can this be? Prime95 is stable at this 190fsb overclock.
    When using an FSB of 166mhz no data corruption or crc errors.
    What can this be? It's not the cables because they're all the same as in my old setup which was running (ahum...walking) stable. PCI/AGP speeds are locked when overclocking...
    Only thing I can think of is the power supply. I've read in a warning post from Bas that the Q-Tec 550w psu I have is crap. So my guess is PSU, but maybe it's something else I'm forgetting...Any suggestions??
    The stupid thing is when I'm not overclocking I don't have the data corruption problems, but I'm still using the same crappy Q-Tec 550w PSU.
    Help!  
    gr,
    Remco

    Hmmm, that's curious. On the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR product page Kingston memory is recommended  
    Ok, did a Memtest86 v1.11 pass at cpu/dimm 166/166 - no problems whatsoever. I think using Prime95 would have revealed memory problems...but will do another pass with cpu/dimm at 190/190.
    Can overclocking affect the Promise Raid Controller?? It should be locked like the PCI/AGP but who knows...
    Well, I still have to replace my PSU but I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem. What PSU would you recommend? ...and I'm also thinking about replacing the standard CPU cooler, any advice is welcome

    i have 2 problems : the first one is that sometimes windows display me a blue screen with certain problem related to ati2dg.dll i think that problem is beacause the video card so i decided to update the bios , in the live update page from msi says that the bios 7.6 fix a bug with ati vga cards but after flashing and updating to bios v7.6 that blue screen with the same error still appearing so i dont know what else to do to solve the problem and the second one is that when i start any game or make the processor to work a little mostly related with video stuff the case speaker start to beep and the pc lags until he restarts with no reason i really dont know why if u can help me thank you

    Foxtrotccs,
    In the BIOS try setting the AGP to 4X and disable Sidebanding. Then set the AGP Apeture to 256. See if that helps.
    Make sure you are running the lastest   nVidia nForce Drivers and the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. There is still a possibility that the Kingston RAM is the problem.

    MSI 128MB GeForce4 Ti 4200 (4X AGP)
    NVIDIA nForce on-board sound
    Western Digital 80GB drive w/ 8MB cache
    MSI X48 CD/CD-RW/DVD combo drive
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    PSU:

    +3.3V is 28A
    +5V is 40A
    +12V is 18A
    So what happens is I get a STOP error during the game that shows the kmixer.sys driver as the culprit. Sometimes it's accompanied by PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA too. I read somewhere that kmixer.sys has to do with windows audio and that it's a 3rd party driver issue or a memory issue. I'm using the latest NVIDIA 3.13 nForce platform drivers. I ran Memtest lastnight for 12 hours straight and 0 errors. I'm thinking the memory may not be compatible with the board nor dual channel, is this possible? I have also tried several different drivers for both video and chipset including MSI's own and I still get the kmixer.sys BSOD when playing games. My previous motherboard was an MSI KT3 Ultra2-R (MS-6380E) which I had no issues with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    --Update--
    I just tried to play a game with audio disabled and it crashed this time with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with nv4_mini.sys as the problem. My IRQ table shows some sharing, but device manager shows no conflicts.

    Ok I tried running the DTM-CB3 module which is nForce2 approved at 3-4-4-11 2T timings and experienced the same result even at 2.6 and 2.7v. I tried both in dual-channel and same thing happened. However, I downloaded a program called Prime95 and ran the CPU torture test and the system returned a fatal error within the first few minutes. CPU Temp was at 57 C and the warning beep (set to 60C though) sounded intermittentley which is strange. I let it cool down then ran the torture test again and about 5min. later the system either seized completely or the program crashed. IE has also crashed randomly on me. I did this several times, before trying a different FSB/DRAM ratio. So I left the system at 200 FSB and used a 6:5 ratio so my memory was running at DDR333 and processor was a 3200+. I ran Prime95 again and the system locked up just as it did the other times.  So after I did this a few times with consistent results. I went back and set the FSB to 166 and tried a 5:6 ratio so the memory was DDR400 and processor was the normal 2800+. I ran it again and to my suprise it passed all the tests and after an hour of this, I tried a game and that was perfectly fine as well. I checked the temps and CPU was only 45 C this time. So I'm thinking the processor can't handle anything above 50C or it's just plain overheating. I ordered a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF today which is tested up to 3400+ so this should fix my problem. If not, then I'm going to replace the memory with a 512MB Geil PC3200 golden dragon dual-channel kit.

  • How to reduce from 5º to 8ºC CPU Temp on your MSI K7N2 Delta!

    I've installed this tweak last week and it is working very stable since then. It decreased my Idle CPU Temp from 42º to 36º and Overload from 54º to 48º:

    It seems that the link to the tweak is broken, I've found another one:

    This is what the article say:
    Just tried it for the first time..It works GREAT
    My idle temps are now 26c, down from 34c. That's 8C. I can have Winamp, IE and messenger running and CPU temps don't get by 29c.  Once i fire up, SETI though...I get back my regular Load temps at 39c.
    Some of you probably know about it, already....here's for thousand others that don't.
    This tweak can drop your idle CPU temps down as much as 8c, maybe more...depending on your system.
    First thing you need to do is download WPCRSET & WPCREDIT.
    They're both in this zip.
    - Extract to a directory.
    - Run "INSTDD.EXE". Click Install. When done, you will be prompted for restart. Hit Yes! -
    - Then go back to the folder with extracted files, and open "WPCREDIT.EXE"
    - A ms-dos like window will pop-up. Move the blinking block (with arrow keys or your mouse pointer) until it says Offset 6F at the buttom. Now, click on the two digit number where it says "HEX", and change it to 1F (The Hex for Offset 6F would have previously been 9F, 8F or something else). Hit Set.
    Your idle temps should now start falling.
    You would have to do this hack/tweak everytime you rebooted your computer if it wasn't for WPCRSET.
    - Go to directory and run "WPCRSET.EXE"
    - Look at the top of the window: Enable select "Start" and make sure Device is on "enable"
    - Then click Add. Enter 6F for the register, and 1F for the data
    - Click Ok and you'll be prompted to restart.
    Once, you rebooted, open WCREDIT again and see if the 6F register is still on 1F. If it is, then that's it..You're all done.
    Here's a Screenie of how it should be:
    This only brings your idle temps down, and not your full load temps
    It should work for all nforce2s, and use at your own risk
    Check your nf7-s for CPU Disconnect. Most other nforce2 motherboards do not have this feature in the bios...so this tweak might prove useful.
    READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE TRYING THIS!
    If you run a Distributed Computing project...then obviously this would be of no use to you

    It activates the C1 (and maybe the C2) function Athlon XP CPU's support. Most mainboard brands have this feature as an option in the bios you can enable and disable. I just found out that EPoX doesn't have that feature. So what you're doing is just using a direct reg tweak to activate it. It's not like you're forcing anything, the Athlon XP chips are made to support this feature so it shouldn't do any damage.
    When the CPU is idle the mainboard will send a command to the CPU that will cause a part of the CPU to be deactivated (and therefore not produce any heat). That's why this tweak only works on the idle temp and doesn't change anything on the load temp. Ofcourse as soon as the CPU power is needed the deactivated part will become active again, so it should have any influence on the performance of the CPU.  
    Strangely, my full load temp has decreased 6º C degrees too.

  • Motherboard MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum

     
    Hello,
    I'm brazilian and live in Rio de Janeiro.
    I need urgent of the help of all you. I bought a Motherboard MSI K7N2 DELTA 2 PLATINUM, and I installed a porcessor AMD ATHLON XP 3200+ (BARTON) FSB 400. Please I want to install memoirs KINGSTON. The one that you find of installing two memoirs of 1GB each. I would like to have 2 GB of RAM. I researched in the site of Kingston and I found the reference  KVR400X64C3AK2/1GB dual, but it is not in the list of the support of the MOTHERBOARD. I also found the reference KVR400X64C3AK2/512 single that is in the list of support of the MOTHERBOARD. Which would his/her suggestion be as for this subject? Do I buy these memoirs or other? Which is his/her suggestion? 
    At once I thank his/her attention. 
    Duarte.

     
    Thank you for his answer. 
    Actually any memory of 1GB doesn't exist in the list of MSI, but memory of 512 MB, the reference is Kingston KVR400X64C3A. I chose Kingston because here in Brazil it is very well considered, and I thought about 2GB to have a great capacity of memory, but I got afraid of buying without having certainty of the compatibility with the MOTHERBOARD. But would thinking better be interesting to buy two memoirs of 512 MB and to do dual channel, what do you find? I think 2GB of memory are unnecessary, 1GB are already good. Would you recommend another memory? Or with different capacity? I await his answer.
    Thanks!
