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.

  • K7N2G-ILSR onboard video 1152x864 Resolution not avaliable???

    I just purchased the MSI K7N2G-ILSR mainly due to the plethora of features that comes with it. Before I upgraded, I was using a GeForce2 and I liked to use 1152x864 -32bp as my desktop resolution on my samsung 955df. After building my new comp, the 1152x864 resolution is not avaliable and EVERY OTHER ONE IS. Does anyone else have this problem or know how or where to fix it? I am confident my monitor can handle it as I was using it before. I have a hard time believing that the integrated Geforce4MX on the motherboard simply does not support that resolution.
    Even when i go to "List all modes" for the videocard, that resolution does not show up for any 32/24/16/8 color bps.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Also, is there an nv4_disp.inf file editing fix for tne 43.45 dets?

    LethalPencil,
    If you want the hidden features for the Detonator4 Drivers then :
    Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
    Quote
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
    "Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
    "NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
    Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
    That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4 and Resoution Settings.
    Take Care,

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 Restart Problems!

    K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 Restart Problems!
    Has anybody else had a problem like this . . .
    Ive got this problem with two machines now!!!!
    Say for example you boot your machine and go into the bios to change whatever. Then save and exit. It should reboot and carry on to go into windows (or whatever). BUT . . . both of my machines restart and then just sit there and give a long beep which then repeats.
    If I turn the machine off completely then back on it starts up ok with any changes to the bios kept from last time.
    Can anybody help?!?!??!  ;(
    I have updated to the latest bios (which is 7.2)

    I now have the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (601-6570-030).;
    On the box:- NVIDIA nForce 2 Ultra 400 Chipset Based.
    K7,nFORCE2 Ultra400/SPP,MCP2-T,FSB400,D-Bracket2,Round cable,2*SATA&power cables,1394 cable,S-Bracket,WinDVD4.
    I have 2x256 PC3200 Corsair DDR and a XP2800 Barton, tried and tested at 240fsb(237fsb Totally stable), And I get the same thing happening to me..Also this board and the last one will NOT do the claimed 400fsb..
    And dont say it's the ram because it's not, the ram and CPU are fine.... It's the Motherboard that is incompatable with the Ram & CPU
    why because my Ram is Corsair(the name speaks for itself) and works in every system to date!.. The CPU is AMD also works in every system to date!
    Soon as i get around 193+(fsb) it starts to do the same thing wont reboot, and does the beep thing! at 200x7 200x7.5 200x8 200x8.5 200x9 200x9.5 200x10 200x10.5 200x11 200x11.5= NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING but BEEP ......BEEP.......BEEP.
    I also bought a brand new Antec TRUEPower550Watt with front voltage control (£100+) and that still does,nt do it
    this is my second board, and im totaly fed up with there crap board. I spent good money for this TOP Class Ram and dont expect to be told the Rams wrong when it works in every other system i have had my hands on!!!!!!!
    MY advice is send it back and get an other and if thats no use send it back again and get a refund and buy an ABIT NF7-S.. with exactly the same components i get a fsb of anything(100) upto 240fsb abit..
    SIG is old board

    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!

    this sounds like mb jumpers are misfigured....set jumper j10 to pins 1-2 and make sure j11 is inplace......boot the system and set fsb to 133....fsb/dram to 1.1 all timings manual..6/3/3/2.5.....everything else at defaults....see if it will run.
    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!

  • 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 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.  ?(
    Brummieman

    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

    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..

  • Great problems with K7N2G-ILSR onboard raid controller

    I have really great problems with my s-ata raid controller. First of all i had a 40GB HDD attached to IDE3. Worked really fine.
    Later on my system crashed and my raid controller seemed to be dead. (no "no array is defined" no "press crtl-f to enter setup,...).
    Then I attached a s-ata drive to the first s-ata interface. Suddenly the raid controller said: "no array is defined, press ctrl-f to enter setup". I entered setup an built an array an restarted my computer. Again: "No array is defined, press crtl-f to enter setup."
    Now my raid controller seems to be dead again cause it doesnt say a word again.
    Please help me if you can. (Besides i tried to solve the problem with updating my bios. I tried all versions from v1.0 to v1.3 but there was no result.)

    I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

  • 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)
