MSI K7N2G-ILSR missing d-bracket

I bought a MSI K7N2G-ILSR Skt A board from ebuyer in the UK. :]
On opening the box, I noted that the D-Bracket2 was missing from the box (but listed on the contents list on the side). :(
I am having no luck getting the component from the company I bought it from, and I then find all the MSI email and phone numbers are for distributors only ! ?(
How do I get the missing part now, as I am missing 2 USB sockets I was counting on when purchasing this board. ?(

I too bought my mobo from ebuyer and it was also missing the D- Bracket. After a number of e-notes I finally got this response from them:-
The brackets never actually shipped out with this motherboard though they should have. We will be getting these brackets in shortly so i will have the brackets forwarded on ASAP.
Regards
Rick
Ebuyer Support
I originally reported this to them on 10th Feb and finally got the reply on 19th Feb, however, I am still waiting for the D-Bracket..

Need help with MSI K7N2G-ILSR

This is probably a really easy problem to fix, but my internet time is limited since my old system is in pieces, and I have to do this from work.
My new MSI K7N2G-ILSR, running with a Barton XP2800 and 2 DIMMs of Geil 512MB DDR PC3200 , doesn't seem to be happy with things. When I tried to turn things on, I got no video output, and there was a regular series of beeps.
I believed this is just a memory issue, and I intended to look into it when I get home...however, it seems things are a little more complicated than I may have thought.
After failing to get any results with the pc3200 512 dimms, I switched to my old 2700 256 meg DIMMS, which I knew worked fine. To my surprise, the system then worked...almost. It got to a certain point, and then gave the message "no drive is connected to fastrack", or something to that effect, and then froze.
The system also worked with combinations of my old 256meg and one of the new 512s, but not with both 512s at once. The 256s, in combination, powered up every time; however, they didn't allow me to install anything. The combination of 2 256s and 1 512 worked most of the time, but would occasionally fail to detect the the RAM - resulting in the same steady beeping as earlier.
For the sake of curiousity, I removed the IDE cable from the DVD drive. To my surprise, Windows (the drive was not formatted) tried to load...which would not happen when the DVD was connected. I then reconected the DVD, and removed the IDE connection from the hard drive. XP tried to install, and then crashed...in fact, the whole system powered down. And now will not restart again. It's dead, and I can't seem to get a single response from it.
This made me wonder if the problem lies with my PSU. Does this sound like something which would happen if the PSU was playing up? I have a 450 watt unit, which I thought would be ok. But the only thing I can think is that the PSU doesn't have enough power to deal with the demands of my new system. I imagine the 3200 DIMMs require a lot more power than the 2700, which might explain why the system can't power up using two of them - the PSU can't handle it.
Any ideas at all? I'm getting more than a little frustrated now. Any advice gratefully received...

Remove all devices from your setup except the CD-ROM (or DVD device) and the hard drive, and connect each to the end connector on different IDE cable, making sure each device is set to "cable select" (preferred) or "master" (2nd choice). Plug the CD-ROM (or DVD device) into IDE2; Plug the hard drive cable into IDE1. For now, don't plug anything into IDE3.
Your power supply is probably adequate, but beware. While many PS'es are "high wattage," many don't deliver enough power to the critical 3.3V bus. Check to make sure that your PS is rated for AT LEAST 28 Amps for the 3.3VDC supply. If not, get a new ANTEC TRUE PS that is. Don't skimp on power; it's like you skimping on food, then running a marathon.
Only install (1) 256MB module in one of the two slots that are together. I recommend the slot closest to the CPU.
If you are running a video card, remove it and use the IGP for now.
Now, power up, and when you get the logo screen, go into your BIOS by pressing the delete key. If your screen is blank and just sits there, then power off, unplug the computer, and set the "clear CMOS jumper." Wait 30 seconds, replace jumper, plug in power cord, and restart computer.
When you get to BIOS, make certain that it sees both drives in the first BIOS screen. Set your time and day (if you like) and then go to the second screen and set your CD-ROM/DVD as the first boot device, set the HD0 as the second (it should already be that way), hit and save and exit, but don't set anything else. Your computer should now boot from the CD-ROM and try to install Windows (I assume XP.) When it asks for you to press F6 to load RAID drivers, don't.
Choose to format your drive using NTFS, don't choose the quick format.
Report back!

MSI K7N2G-ILSR Problem! Need help!

Hi,i bought a K7N2G-ILSR last year when i was in Germany. This mainboard never worked as well... I wanted to work with Athlon XP 2500+ and Dual Channel 256MB+256MB=512MB 400 Mhz DDR-Ram. It hasn't worked when i first wanted to use and i changed the jumper to the securit mode than it worked but it has never opened with one button pushing.I was always trying to get screen vision with 3-5 closing and opening.One day i tried to get the jumper back and i tried to open but it never worked. I got the jumper securit again but again never worked. I tried everything but it never worked after that event. Normally i had to inform it at first and give it back or give it to the repairing but i couldn't have time. Now i have to do it this time. Now i want to change this or something else but in Turkey. I am living in Turkey and does MSI Support Centre change it or repair it? What can i do to get rid of this problem. Need help!
Thanks for your helps from now!

MSI K7N2G-ILSR onboard video initialization problems

Hi, today I replaced my wife's trusty Abit KT7 motherboard with a MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I used the onboard video since she doesn't play games. Everything seemed to be working fine until I went to boot it up. The computer started up as usual, but the monitor did not intialize like it should. The message on the monitor said that " the monitor was working correctly and to check the cord or the computer." I rechecked all of the connections and everything seemed to be installed correctly. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the onboard video, so I decided to install the Radeon 9000 that was in the old system. To my suprise I received the same message when I started the computer up the second time. I have built several systems and have never encountered a problem like this before. I read the thread about problems with the Radeon cards, but no one mentions anything about problems with the onboard video. I am using a Duron 750, Antec 330 watt PSU and 512 megs of Kingston Value Ram. I know that several posters have recommended that nforce 2 users need a more pwerful PSU and better ram, but I have a hard time beleiving that those things would cause the video not to intilaize. I would appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions because I need to make a desision about hwat to do with this board. Thx.

Well I appreciate the replys. I formated the harddrive before I installed the motherboard because I was worried that the via drivers would cause problems when I booted it up and installed Win XP. Bonz, you are right, I am just guessing that everything is OK since I can hear the system start up, but I can't see anything since the video never intializes. I rechecked all of the connections and even took the motherboard out and reinstalled the cpu, memory and motherboard and the same thing happened. I started thinking something was wrong with the monitor so I unplugged the monitor from my system, which I know works, and it did the same thing. I just wish I could get the video to intialize so I could see to get into the bios to look around. I will check the jumpers on the board and continue to mess around with it. I would appreciate any feedback I can get. Thx again.

MSI K7N2G-ILSR chipset fan stopped working. Help please.

I have an MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard. A couple days ago I started hearing a fluttering/groaning noise coming from inside the machine. I finally discovered it was coming from the small fan on the chipset.
Well, today I decided to try and take the fan off and fix it. After I blew some dust off of it, I put it back on the chipset heatsink and it failed to work at all. It's now broken.
Here are some questions I have.
1. Are these fans easy to replace? Where can I get one? Any brand suggestions?
2. I'm currently running my computer without this fan (but the heatsink is still affixed to the chipset). Is this bad? Will it kill my computer?
3. If it won't "kill" my computer what are the downsides to having no fan on the chipset?
4. My temperatures are now 10 degrees lower than when the fan was actually working. Have any idea why the temperatures are lower?

i also used the vantec one (copper like Flatblader) i got it at fry's for $10, it seems to be quieter and i used the smaller extra heatsink on the southbridge (just because it fits, i don't think it really gets all that hot) and i haven't found anywhere to put the other extra heatsink (bigger than the southbridge)
as for the hsf assembly, it comes off pretty easy, but you have to take the mobo out of the case (there are two little pegs you have to squeeze and push out from the bottom of the board) the heatsink is kinda sharp, i cut my finger pretty good trying to get it off
other than that, $10 for a copper hsf plus two extra heatsinks isn't bad in my book, and it looks kinda nice

MSI K7N2G-ILSR will not boot from CD!!!

Specs:
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
40 GB Maxtor HD (IDE1 Master)
HP 9100i CDRW (IDE2 Master)
AMD XP 1800+
512 Megs PC2100 DDR
I cannot get this thing to boot from a CD for the life of me. I have tried using 4 different CD drives. I have tried both IDE channels. I have ran both drives jumperless.
Bios recognises the drive. I have Floppy, CDROM, HDD1 as the boot sequence. I have tried switching the boot sequence around.
I am completely stumped and extremely frustrated. Somebody, please help me. ANY advice would be appreciated, let's get this problem solved!

thanks for pointing that out!
the jumpers were in the wrong place. i should have read the manual more in depth instead of being in a hurry. i feel like such an idiot!
everything seems to be running fine. time will tell i guess.
thanks everybody!

RAM and other Q's for MSI k7n2g-ilsr

I had a friend buy this board and he got kingston ram and the kingston ram failed on him so he got CERTified samsung ram and i thought IM not paying :O $150 for 512 RAM. X(
I saw the Article about ram recommendations for this board but im paranoid you could say. I want to buy either cosiar 2 sticks of 256(Model#: CMX256A-2700C2 ) or could i get 2 sticks of 512 coaisar ram (Model#: CMX512-2700C2 ) and I want to be able to use onboard video for a while then pick myself up a radeon 9700 or a 9800 pro and have no conflicts ? PLease email me or post a reply . Oh and is this board come with IDE 100 or 133 ?
THe only thing wrong with this board is that the audio connector is in the way if you wanted to put a pci card in that slot. )
:P BY the way Im upgrading from a kt266 msi motherboard with 512 RAM, Amd 1700 and aN Ati 9000. :P

You can read the specs of this board on MSI's website directly to answer those types of questions...
Reagarding your memory, don't take my post lightly as most ppl have had major problems when buying cheaper memory for this board...it's up to you what direction you want to go in regards to this...have problems or don't...Mushkin is a great buy for it's stability and O/Cing ability if that's what you're into...
Most of the ppl are rolling the dice with any of the nForce2 boards out there right now being that they're new on the market, if you want assured no problems go with something a bit older and that should be cool...
I wouldn't rely on using the onboard video if you plan on gaming...most are having issues with it...
MSI and ATI are working on a known issue with Radeons and this board right now and hopefully will release a new BIOS to fix it soon...only have problems on the 1.3/3.4 ILSR/IL versions tho...
There are other issues regarding this board, do a search on this forum and you'll read for days heheheh
I did like this board when I had it working tho (I haven't tried to fix it yet so...) it was fast and the sound was great!! Overall I like the board, but you can't skrimp on memory costs or PSU cause this board is power hungry..
Cheers!! 8)

MSI K7N2G-ILSR memory issues

I can't run the memory I want. I had a GIG of Intel certified ram in a KT4 Ultra and it ran fine....but in my K7N2G neither stick will run in any slot in any config, tried several other Sticks from my Local PC shop....the only memory that booted was ANY 266 memory. So I
ordered 2 sticks of Mushkin 512 PC3200 BLUE. Man...
only one stick works and only in Dimm 3 (Green) the other stick won't work at all. Tried each stick individually
in each slot, then together.....CMOS cleared each time.
So I feel this isn't a memory issue but a BIOS or Board issue, oh by the way this is my second board that acted identical!!!
Ned X(

Sorry the D Bracket colors are:
Green on the top and red on the bottom, manual saids " Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting "
I forgot to mention that I'm using memory Samsung PC3200 400 MHZ and Tried Kingstone 2100 266MHZ and Generic Brand 2100 266MHZ.
Thank you in advance for any help you good people can provide.

Memory clock on Msi-K7n2G-ILSR

I was using Fuzzy logic 4 and and on the MSI info it could tell that my memory clock was on 100 mhz
i am using 2x 512ddr pc 2100 that should be on 133mhz?
can some one tell me what i should do ?(

the same thing on my system,, ,when the computer boots it says ddr 333,,,, but fussy is showing memory clock at 100 mhz.... i dont see in the bios where you can clock this other than the normal 166 thing for cpu voltage...
just curious,,, i mean the system is running great, just want to get all that i am suspose too....

MSI K7N2G-ILSR + MSI NX7600GS-TD256Z -- compatiblity

Hi
I tried to connect this video card to this mainboard but I couldnt get it working together.
I have 400W bequiet! PSU. Power connector was plugged-in to the card.
There is no signal on the monitor (LCD via DVI), no matter what I try.
AGP slot is working with other graphic card so its either some strange compatibility issue(?) or graphic card is faulty?
In specifications it says • Intel Pentium IV (and above), AMD K8 (and above) or compatible with AGP slot, does it matter this board is for AMD K7 processors?
I can change default 1.5V for AGP up to 1.8V in BIOS, but Im not sure it would do any good.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, you should try and test the card in another computer, as already suggested, before spending more money on this system.
Secondly, this concerns me:

I have 400W bequiet! PSU.
BeQuiet PSUs are junk, not quite in the same league as Q-Tec, but as bad as Codegen. Test with another more powerful PSU (before buying another one), preferably with at least 20a on a single 12v rail.

Board killed after changing FSB? K7N2G-ILSR

I have a K7N2G-LISR. After I changed the FSB which was at 100MHz by default, the D-Bracket showed that the CPU was damaged. I cleared the CMOS and than it showed damaged memory. I tryed the RAM and the CPU with another PC and both were OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

[nForce] K7N2G-ILSR network connection problems

Emermax Powersupply

His computer has been working more or less perfectly, although the TV card occasionally causes some trouble. Today, he was no longer able to get on the internet. From both the Network connections and Device Manager screens, his LAN interface is gone. Only the 1394 interface shows up.
So far, I did a system restore to last week, which had no effect. I made sure the BIOS hadn't disabled it for some reason, too, but that isn't the problem. I manually installed the network adapter, and it said that the device could not start, error code 10. The network adapter will not work in Safe Mode with Networking, either. I tried the MS Knowledge base article regarding missing LAN icons, but that article was for situations in which the icons were gone yet everything still functioned, so it didn't really apply. Reinstalling drivers had no effect. I can ping localhost, but that could just be because the 1394 connection can act as an internet connection.
Any ideas? I've not done a repair of Windows on the machine, but I'm not sure that would help. I do have an extra network interface pci card I could put in if it is simply a problem of his onboard connection having died. If I do this, is there a particular PCI slot that I should preferably use to avoid IRQ conflicts?

As far as I know drivers can be installed in SafeMode, but your LAN wont work till in normal.
A repair install is not a bad idea, as Windows is very fond of its own drivers.
LAN and sound problems are often early signs of a PSU near the end. You wouldn't know the specs of the Enermax? I guess it is alright, but you never know.
As the TV-card is problematic, try that one in another slot. Nowadays devices happily share IRQs without problems, but some older devices including older mobos (which is not the case here) were very conservative. ...I'll have to look in my drawer, wait a sec, please. - - --
"The use and sharing of IRQs aren't mentioned in my MSI manual, (due to the APIC function I think), so I had to go to some ASUS manuals. As standards are standards, I believe things can't be to different. If someone has any addings or suggestions please come forward, so I can adjust the table.
*Please note that this is generally speaking and mainly for ASUS boards a few years old!
**Please note that you should not have any sharing with the IDE controller or similar!
***Please note that it is a good thing to have expansion PCI sound cards in slot 3!
****Please note that surprisingly enough it looks like PCI slot 2 would be free for any device, but AGP cards get hot and bigger so it is not a great idea.
IRQ sharing table
PCI 1 shares with PCI slot 5
2 shares with AGP and PCI slot 6, or sometimes with onboard IDE
3 shares not, or sometimes with onboard audio/modem
4 shares with onboard LAN
5 shares PCI slot 1
6 shares with AGP and PCI slot 5
AGP slot shares with PCI slots 5 and 6

K7n2G-ILSR, Mouse problems

I have been having a lot of issues with my mouse since I got my K7N2G-ILSR MOBO. If I use the PS/2 connection; if I have to reboot after installing a program or something the mouse no longer works and I have to reboot again and it works fine. That is the task everytime I have to reboot.
I thought maybe there was a grounding problem with my mose connector or my PS/2 connection on my MOBO, so I went out and purchased a IBM optical mouse. Problems still persist although they are different ones now. The IBM mouse is USB, if I connect it to any of the USB connections its almost like it doesn't have enough power to run my mouse. The mouse's scroll button lights up blue and when I plug it into any of the USB ports I can see it flash a couple of times, but the light is very dim and then it just goes out and my mouse doesn't work at all. Tried doing the restart process and nothing happens at all. I tried all 4 USB inputs on the MOBO itself and even installed the USB 2 S-Bracket that came with it and the same problem happens in each one.
I just wonder if I should try another mouse like an intellimouse or are my connections on my MOBO just bad or something.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you all,

The problem is with the board, I've had 2 of these boards, and both of them had a problem with the mouse.
If you get a keyboard and mouse make sure they are both USB, or BOTH PS/2. If you choose the PS/2 option then make sure the keyboard, and mouse don't have any extra features.
It's odd, some keyboards and mice work fine, while others mess the whole computer up.

MSI K72NG-ILSR won't even post

I just rebuilt my computer installing a MSI K7N2G - ILSR, XP2700 AMD, ATI 9500 with 128 DDR, Maxtor ATA133 20 gig HHD and SATA Raptor HHD. I have used 2100 DDR ram, 2700 DDR ram and 3300 DDR ram. I tried booting using the orginal install of XP Home and everything went well and it ran fine for two days except it would not install my 3.5 floppy drive oh well don't use them anyway. But my Dail up modem would not connect any faster than 9600. Than it crashed and rebooted. Than it crashed and wouldn't even post. It's just like I shut the power off and back on. I have a new Antec SL350 power supply. I am back to using my old Soltek board as the MSI will not work more than an hour or two. I was very disapointed in the MSI as I have built several computer and never had this kind of trouble before. If I know the motherboard wasn't at falt I would sell it on EBay.
I was also disapointed that there where not more than two fan connections as my CPU fan needed two, power supply needed one plus the cheap chip set fan needed one.
Also the S-Bracket would not fit in any of the PCI slots as it's plastic case would hit parts on the motherboard in every slot. The slot under VGA slot came the closest where a little tiny can hit there to. Leaving about 3/16 of an inch to go before I could place a screw in the bracket to hold it in.
Gene

After three weeks of just walking off before I throw it at the wall. Pulling everything out and putting it back and one crash after another, lock ups and no boots it had quit booting all togather. I let it set for about a week and reloaded all my old stuff in son's computer and loaded OS and everything else. Son's computer is up and running and is just as stable as it was in my case.
Well today I took everything I didn't need to get the MSI up and running out plugged it in hit start botton nothing it wouldn't even post the Bois or the MSI splash screen. I was ready to unplug it and remember that I had bought a new CMOS Batt. I said to my self, "I've already tried everything else I could think of." The first couple of times I booted the MSI I had to reset the date & time and had said to a friend that I thought the CMOS battary was dead. He said no way it's brand new so even though I had bought one I didn't do anything with it.
I pulled the battery out put in a new one. Old one was a Panasonic CR2025 3V made in Indoneasa. I than hit the on botton and bang it's up and posting and everything worked. I than turned it off before loading windows and cleared the CMOS. Than rebotted check the basic setting in CMOS and loaded windows. I've spent most of today loading programs and updating programs. Still getting Floppy error 40, does anyone know what it means? Dirve lite on all the time.

K7n2g-ilsr IGP graphics interference

When using the IGP, I see moving diagonal lines on my desktop.
I don't think it's a memory compatibility issue since I don't experience any reboots, lock-ups, crashes, etc. I suspect it's the PSU but I need a second opinion on this.
I already experimented with the bios settings with no luck, even on default.
Here's my specs:

MSI K7n2g-ilsr
2 pcs. twinmos 512 ddr400 (twinmos chips)
Enermax 330 watts (+3.3v=30A, +5v=32A, +12v=12A, combined +3.3v and +5v= 160W)
I know that the 12v rail is too low, but like I said, I don't experience reboots and everything, just the annoying interference.
I haven't got this problem whenever I use a separate agp card (geforce2mx)

Your combined is low as well...should be more like 200W to get enuff power to this setup...
Cheers!! 8)
