    Hi.
    I have a problem and i hope some of you can help me.
    I have msi k7t pro and maxtor diamond max plus 8. disk crashed before few days after using it 3 months. Before that i had maxtor 540 series and he crached after 18 months of use.
    Two disk had spin up and seek time problems. Whell at least siguardian "sad that".
    Could this hdd crash be from nonquality disks or the could be caused from some other part of pc.
    And now i have option to chance maxtor with seagate.

  • MSI K7T Pro 2-a

    Alright, I have an MSI K7T Pro 2-a (not 266) and I need to see if anyone has had this problem before. The board started giving me this crazy error about the floppy drive so I ordered a new bios for it. Now it will post video fine, but 10 - 15 seconds after post it will just crash. I have tried a number of CPU's (duron 700, duron 1.1, tbird 600, tbird 1.0) and they all do the same thing. My next step is to get an RMA and just send the board in, but I figured Id see if the forum could help before I went through all the trouble.
    Thanks,
    Dmcanally

    never really seen a trend with that board

  • Msi k7t pro MS 6330 - best graphic card

    hello gentlemen
    As announce subject I am k7t pro ver1 owner. Nowadays the MB is provided with riva tnt2 model 64 - yeah it is old one. I would like to change the graphic card, up to the good one. So is there any graphic card you know may be recommend? Some VGA x4, having best technical parameters to the mainboard?
    Kongo

    thanks for reply
    sure, I do not intend play newest games, anyway I wish to play hitmanII, or III and IGI-2 - some ! The MB I have is retired. Max CPU to the MB is 1.2G Athlon - and I fited out with it (1.2 Athlon). Power suply is powerful 350W of good make; also 448 sdr sdram is going to be. I just do not know if Geforce 4 will be suported by the MB. AGP port is 4x only.
    Man, did I  well anderstand you? You mean that if I plug in 8x graphic card the system wil be stable? Ex. MSI GForce 4 Titanium 4200 128DDR? And will work fine on the MB?
    Anyway I wish to plug in as good as possible (or something about) graphic card...  so are there any  suggestion ?

  • My Msi 6163 Pro doesn't boot !

    I change the motherboard Msi 6163 Pro of my old PC but it doesn't boot !! 
    The diagnostic leds are 1010 (Green Red Green Red) : Testing Base and extended memory ... (from 240k to 640k and above 1Mb)
    I test 4 different memory modules on this motherboard : they can't all be out of order ....
    - I test PC 100-128 SDRAM 16*8
    - and PC 100-128M 8*16
    Do you have an idea for this problem    ? The mainboard, the memory module, the pentium (pentium III 500)
    No overclocking, default configuration, bios has been initialised ...
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi dude !
    I have Msi6163 bx master.... This motherboard support copermine.
    Yes..it is a big chance that the problem is related to sdram type memory. I personaly have 512MB of sdram (all 4 slots full) I have mixed sdrams... some are 133mhz, some of them are 100mhz. The bus is overclocked to 133mhz from 100mhz so my p3 650 mhz works on 866 since 2001 year without any problem. I have difficulties to find working sdram on this motherboard when i upgraded it with more memory. Some sdram modules didnt work, some of them has been recognized as half of it, boot problems and so go on... I know that in mynual is written whic sdram must be. 
    I check now on site http://www.crucial.com/  for the answer for your problem. I found this:
    These 168-pin DIMM modules are compatible with your system.:

  • MSI 845 Pro no OS boot

    I was working on a computer for my friend and after finding out the problem was the pwer supply we replaced it, only to have the motherboard boot, but only to the state where it will boot from the drives.  Then it locks and hangs and does nothing.  I Checked everything and I don't know whats wrong with it.  Anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong?
    MSI 845 Pro with P4 1.7 gig
    450 Watt Power Supply
    1.5 gig of ram
    8500LE ATI video card
    Sound Blaster Audigy sound card
    DVD Rom
    CD RW Rom
    40 Gig Western Digital Hard Drive
    40 Gig Segate Hard Drive
    Like I said it locks up when it should be booting from the hard drive or CDrom drive. 

    The Video card was failing.  It would only boot in VGA mode.  The power supply he had was only a 320 watt and knowing that he had a Sound Blaster in it I knew it most likly was the power supply.  The new one's specs are
    Win 400 PS P4 (450 Peak Watts)
    Ac input 115/230 V~,7.5A/4.5A,50-60 Hz
    +3.3A  +5V  +12V  -5V  -12V  +5VSB
    15.0A   30A  15A    .6A  .6A    2.0A
    And I removed everything and started from just the chip and worked my way from there adding devices and I didn't find any problems with regards to the beeps.  The computer boots to the post fine.  It just locks up after the post right before it should boot from the CDrom or floppy or Hard drive. I alos put the other devices in another computer to see if they work and they do, so I am really at a lose as to what is wrong with the board.

  • MSI K7T Pro MS6330 board

    Unable to determine what is the largest cpu it can support. have bios v2.9
     Also does any one know were can i find out what changes where done with my v2.9
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks ssilent11
    I should have tried search engine first, sorry.
    Found the answer there, thanks wonkanoby
    regards
    ssilent11

    1.2GHz Athlon (12X100) is the highest cpu you can go with this board. Also bios v.2.9 is good. No need to flash, as higher biosies for faster cpus are for different models (K7T Turbo).
    After my opinion, 2.9 is the best bios for this mobo. If you have low rpm cpu fan, then bios v.3.4 is for you.

  • Msi K7T PRO-2 266

     Does anyone know what the largest hard drive this motherboard will support? I have a 40 Gig and I want to add another 40 Gig to the same IDE channel. Should the motherboard support this? Thanks

    160 gb with a bios update,no problem what you want to do

  • K7t Pro 2a problem (it boots and after 1 hour it stops)

    Hey,
    Since 1 week now I have a problem with my MSI K7T Pro 2a mainboard.  
    When I'm working the first hour(s) my pc works ok, but at a certain moment I hear a 'whistle' (somebody told me it's a condenser that works bad).  When that sound is over (in less then a minute) my pc stops working.  
    The only way to shutdown my pc is to press the powerbutton for a couple of seconds.
    When I press the powerbutton again it wont boot anymore.  I could wait some time or I can unplug my pc and it works again for only 1 minute.  After a couple of hours I can work further.
    I check everything (powersupply, cpu, memory, hd) but I know for 100% that it is the mainboard.
    I bought this on the 01/feb/2001.
    Please help me.
    Greets!
    Rope (sorry for my bad english)

    Hi, what have you done finally?Quote

    Can you tell me what you mean by condenser?

  • K7T Pro - boot problems - suggestions

    Hey,
    I've been searching this forum for a few hours now trying to sort a problem for a friend of mine. Maybe I'm overlooking something. Please feel free to give me any tips/suggestions!
    computer specs:
    MSI K7T Pro with AMD 1333 processor
    2 x 128 mb
    GeForce 2
    problems:
    system doesn't boot, d-led is red, green, red, red
    siren like sound
    what i want to do:
    * check capacitors for leakage
    * do c-mos clear (what to do, to achiev this?)
    * replace battery with new one
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanx in advance!

    The better way to get help is to give a full spec of PC includding Power source's details (Amps to 3.3v 5v 12v ) What is memory brand ? Hope is not Crucial.  8)

  • K7T Pro 2-A damaging CPUs

    I have the most strange problem ever.
    My MSI K7T Pro 2-A is damaging the CPUs I install for some unknown reason. The mobo has been rock stable for more than a year and a half and I think it is of excellent quality. About 15 days ago the PC froze while downloading a file under Win XP Pro, and then I had to shutdown. When I turned it on again, it makes 1 beep like everything was normal but the video signal was lost. Later, after many tries with different hardware I discovered that my Athlon 1 Ghz was burned; the strange thing is that doesn't had any external signs of burning, the surface was perfect. It was installed with a very good cooler (TITAN TTC-MT1AB) so temperature problems where discarded. Then I bought a new Duron 1.1 Ghz and installed it without problems. The BIOS installed was version 3.41. I flashed succesfully the same day I installed the new CPU to the BIOS last version (3.5) and it ran succesfully for about a week. Today, same story, the Duron was gone this time. My friend told me that maybe there is a sort of incompatibility with the new BIOS, but I refuse to believe it. Apparently the PSU is fine and I see no signs of a damaged capacitor or something like that in the mobo. We have absolutely no clue of what may be causing this; My technician friend tried to boot a Duron 700 Mhz and posted OK, but the new Duron don't posted anymore, after installing it on an older KT7 Pro 2, so I guess is damaged too. Any suggestion will be apreciated, as we try to isolate this problem. I will see if we use a electronic tester. If the PSU is the culprit, I don't understand how it doesn't burned the motherboard already, and if it is the mobo, I don't understand how a processor is running very stable for a week and then dyes. Any advice? I don't want to burn another CPU. ;(

    Hi,
    The motherboard isn't frieing CPU's, I'm pretty sure the old CPU is fine too....
    RMA the board to MSI, as it happens on some boards and they need to be repaired.
    Contact your dealer or your nearest MSI Quarters on what to do.
    MSI warrants the board for 2 years, so that shouldn't be a problem.

  • K7T Pro-2 U rev 1 turn off after 20secs.

    Hi,
    Houston, i got a problem!
    My computer has always been working fine for at least 13month, period of first use of my motherboard and CPU.
    Well,  2 weeks ago, i got this first crap, screen turned off and all devices too, just the motherboard was running, thus i shutdown and re-turn on my computer--> nothing and 4 red LED.
    CPU dead?  i guess no 'cause, i plug off my PowerSupply cable and re-plug it in, the system's running while 20-30seconds and shutdown but fan's still running, though if i reboot it, i got 4 red disgnostic's LEDs, and i just have to plug in/off PS cable to reboot system which will finally shutdown after 20-30seconds....
    I try to change some parts: memory, gfx card, therm' paste, plug off all devices --> no chance
    Anyway about Therm' paste, i first used silver grease, but during 10month i haven't gotten any problems, i changed sliver grease for thermal paste now, but problem stills.
    My box:
    MSI K7T Pro-2 U rev 1
    Duron 1,2 Ghz
    392 SDRAM PC 133
    Geforce 2 MX
    cheers
    ps: sorry for my english, it's not my first language.

    oh no, this is not this kind of traces, it's lighter and really fine, maybe it was just a layer of dust.
    Anyway, capacitors don't seem defect.
    Well i repeat to be sure :
    i can boot my computer, the detection cycle pass but during boot  20-30sec later, screen/devices turns off but fans still running.
    if i reboot, i get 4 Red LED thus i have to plug off my cable from wall and re-plug it in to have the possibilty to redo boot detection until it crashs 20 sec later .
    Thus the MB can turn on, i see bootsequence and even linuxboot on my screen.
    I have disconnected my HD because when i boot on it with "Trend Antivirus" enabled from BIOS, it shouts: "Boot virus detected, type ENTER for ..etc..etc.."
    Nevertheless, even with no devices enabled except Dvd for booting with a LinuxLive i go to the wall after 30sec
    CPU is well detected
    Memory also (3x128) i tried several combos and other memory
    About PSU, i haven't opened it yet even if i have doubt about its culpability.
    cheers and really thank you!

  • K7t pro 2-a unknown beep help

    I am running a 900 Mhz amd on my MSI K7T Pro 2-A. I have 512 Mb RAM, a fireball 24 gig HD, Matshuita CD-RW, Creative Sound Blaster PCI 128 (onboard audio controller non-functional), and a nVidia TNT2. I installed windows 2000, and ever since then there has been a consistent beep, one long beep immediately followed by a short beep. This beep happens EVERY fifteen minutes. I have tried everything possible to get rid of it. I checked every windows alarm, every PC Alert alarm, I couldn't find any alarms listed in Bios. I updated bios. I upgraded all of my drivers. I realized that the beep was coming from my system speaker. I finally gave up and disabled the system speaker in windows. It did not work. I looked everywhere online to find a solution. I gave up again and physically disconnected the wires from the internal speaker. Now the beep continues, only it is quieter. The only thing I can think of is that the motherboard has it's own speaker! What can the motherboard be trying to tell me??  What can I do? Can I just disconnect this "motherboard speaker," if so how?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I have asked MSI and they replied this:
    Quote
    I remember that on some of the K7T Pro2A boards
    There is a feature called SmartDLED, this is the DLED using voice activation
    So during the boot process, this DLED would speak, however this should not happen during windows session
    You can ask the user to disable the on-board buzzer (refer to the page about front panel connectors)
    If problem still persists, ask him to send the board for repair
