MSI K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition

Is this board no longer getting supported for new BIOS updates??
Thanks to anyone who knows this.

Hi
I have Tv-Tuner, internal modem, LAN, second Sound Card on PCI and Gforce on AGP. Windows XP share IRQs and computer crashes. I hope, that with APIC will be less sharing then now. Yes, I know, that phisicaly there are only 4 IRQ signals on PCI A,B,C,D. But I thing that APIC should works better for me.
P.S. I tried all that stuff - change to "Standard PC" (shut down won't complete); manual assign IRQs in BIOS - nothing happens, cause WinXp override BIOS settings, etc. etc. etc.
P.S.S. I return original BIOS, cause BIOS for 7ZXE didn't know what clock ICs and voltage ICs are on my board

  • K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition and USB

    After doing whatever research I could in these forums, I really couldn't find solid answer so I'm posting my questions.
    I have recently ordered a new case for my K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition (it's the red one) which has additional USB connections in the front of the case.
    Am I going to be able to connect the board to the case so I can use those USB slots?

    Hi Gregthos,
    I remember there was something with these connections - I think they will only work with the bracket and for the PC2PC connection ...
    There is at least 1 thread on this in the forum ... here

  • K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition

    Ok fellas, here's my question.
    I'll try to include as much info as possible here.
    I have the K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition version 3.0A (at least that's what the users manual says). It's a  Red Motherboard  and has 2 IDE Controllers. I simply want to know what is the fastest processor I am able to run in this board? Also, I was looking at the BIOS updates and noticed that some have footnotes regarding the Turbo2. So what is the latest BIOS Update that I would use for this particular board? Please pardon my ignorance here. My hopes here are that these are softball questions for you guys.

    Thanks a bunch BAS!
    Would this be the processor you're talking about? http://store.yahoo.com/directron/xp153.html
    I found this online. Also, what would be the BIOS update I would use? I was looking at several posts last night and saw that the Power Supply is going to be a very important issue here. The case I have purchased comes with a 320W PS but I noticed when I was reading that 320W doesn't always mean 320W  ?( .  I appreciate all the help you guys offer here! Thanks again BAS!  :P

  • K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition W/Raid

    Two questions,
    first how do you tell if your XP 1800+ is a palomino? I purchased one but all it says is AMD Athlon XP 1800+ on the factory sticker.
    Second when I use this processor with my K7T Turbo-R Limited W/Raid it will boot up fine, displays the correct processor speed (shows XP 1800+ in post) but the pc will at random times out of the blue just re-boot. I have a 400 watt psu AMD approved.  and my memory is good. I've done all the bios updates also. Is it possible that this is an unsupported cpu?

  • K7T Turbo R Limited Edition and crackleing sound

    I started getting a crackling sound recently. I never had that problem before. The only thing I can think of that I have done that may have started it was to update the bios and the via chipset drivers. I tried to reinstall the 442 drivers (only the pci part) but no change. I reinstalled the 443.
    I read in other threads that it could be either a latency problem. Also moving the sblive sound card could do fix the sound. I don’t seem to have any latency timing adjustments in the bios and I tried moving the sound card to number 3 and the number 6 slot with no luck. I have tried a couple of 686 bug fixes and they didn’t work. But I have also read where that wouldn’t work so I removed them.
    Is there anything that might work?

    AMD 1800+

  • K7T Turbo-R Limited Edition & XP

    I have just added a new harddrive to my system to replace a smaller one. The NEW hard drive shows up as drive F and not drive D like it should.
    The new drive is the master and my other drive is a slave set up correctly on IDE channel 1. I also have a CD-RW and a CD-ROM on my IDE channel 2.
    When I had 2000 and 98SE, and adding a new device, if it was on IDE channel 1 it was drive C & D and IDE channel 2 was E & F.
    Also my A drive is now showing as A AND B when reading a diskette?????
    Is this a know issue with XP this board and VIA chipset drivers???
    Any help would be appreciated! I am NEW to XP ONLY.
    Thanks!

    OK thanks Bas and Denis.
    Will I need to reload everything since the drive will not longer be F in the reg. or will it know that it's now C???

  • MSI K7T Turbo Limited Ed. + XP1700+

    Hi
    I would like to know if my mainboard (MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition on KT133A) supports XP1700+ 0,13 processor?
    I've already read on this site that it doesn't :( but from the other hand I've heard that some people have those Xp1700+ on the same boards and everythings works fine (with bios ver. 3.6).
    So...will it work or not? XP1700+ 0,18 works perfect.
    Regards

    Hi, it may work but there is no official support for it.

  • K7T Turbo Limited Ed. and problems :(

    Hallo
    I have MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition mobo (on KT133A). Yesterday something strange happened. I was surfing the net and suddenly my PC rebooted. After reboot I saw that in BIOS test, BIOS didin't detect my hard drives connected to first controller. CD-ROM and CD-RW were properly detected on the second controller.
    I turn the PC off....waited about 30 seconds and turn it on. And everything was fine again. But in a short time it happened again. But now I heard something strange. I heard that both drives are stopping...slow down wnd stop. After a 1-2 sec. windows XP freezed and PC rebooted again :( And again there was no drives detected on first controller :(
    I checked:
    1. viruses - system is clean. I checked it with NAV2003 (within windows and dos - from bootable disc)
    2. I tried to plug those 2 drives (15 GB Caviar and 15 GB Fujitsu) to the second controler (first was empty).
    I asked some friends about it and one said that it could be power supply (maybe there is some instability or something).
    Someone else told me that it could be a battery on the mobo (I have has this mobo for 2 years).
    Or maybe it is a problem with motherboard? Maybe controller is damged....but...from the other hand when I restar the PC everythin works fine....some time :(
    System: AMD XP1700+ (not overclocked), mobo as I said above, Radeon 8500, CD-ROM and CD-RW (pluged to second controller), Caviar 15 GB and Fujitsu (pluggeg do first controller), Windows XP with SP1.
    I had no problems with that system befere.

    Hi
    I must check the type of that battery...but from the other hand if the battery was the problem it wouldn't keep all BIOS settings. Am I right? But it keeps.
    Power supply is 300W - it is a kind off no-name (I bouhgt it with case 3 months ago and there was no problems befere :( )
    I've already borrowed one - I'll check it later today (after work).

  • MSI K7T - USB ISSUE

    I am using a MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition motherboard. The usb ports version was not indicated on the manufacturer website so I take it as version 1.1
    My old OS was WIN XP PRO (SP1) and strangly enough even with usb 1.1, I have encountered good speed file transfer from my desktop to an external HDD. I can transfer a 400MB file within 3-4 minutes. I was satisfied then.
    I made a fresh WIN XP PRO re-installation 2 days back but this times it was done with straight upgrade to SP2.  Now, I will alway get the following message (pic as follow) whenever I plug in my external hdd. The file transferring time has also lenghtened to abt 10mins with a 400MB files.
    My usb version remain a doubt although I strongly believe it is 1.1 as you can see from my device manager as below.
    The question is why did I not encounter that MESSAGE and the DIFFERENT OF SPEED before with SP1?

     
            Yeah, if you installed with the bundled CD,maybe the problem you will never meet. 
            Is your board K7T Turbo?  Let me find it, haha...
            Here it is.   
             Is it?  http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=100&kind=1http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=100&kind=1
     First time, I reinstalled my PC, due to not use the relative drivers, my PC can't boot. 
     So, it will never happen on me.

  • K7T Turbo & CPU upgrade

    Oops, is this the right spot for this post ? Anyway...
    I have a MSI K7T Turbo Version 3.0 Limited Edition motherboard,without RAID.
    (yes I know it's old)
    The AMD Athlon processor (1.1Ghz) got fried and I want to replace it. The board is fantasic and I want to upgrade the processor. What AMD processors can I use in this board ?
    The manual says 1.3Ghz maximum. I have seen on websites it will take up to 1.8Ghz. Is this true ?
    I have also seen it will only take Athlon, or Palamino.
    Someone else told me it will take the 1.33 GHz Thoroughbred processor , or some low Athlon XPs like XP1800+.... Help !
    Can anyone please clarify for me ?
    I want to put the maximum size processor in that will run with stability....
    ps. I have upgraded my cooling system !

  • K7T Turbo LE and problems with IRQ routing Win98SE

    When I boot my machine (AMD 1600+ on an MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition), the BIOS reports me the following:
    SiS6326 AGP card: NA (no IRQ even if I enable "Assign IRQ to VGA" in BIOS, but that's not my problem)
    Startech NIC in slot 2: IRQ 11
    D-Link DFE-538 TX in slot 3: IRQ 10
    Echo Mia soundcard in slot 4: IRQ 5
    Onboard Promise ATA100 controller: IRQ 11
    2x USB controllers Via 3038: IRQ 3 for each one
    IDE controllers: IRQ 14 and 15
    In "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager", there's one big difference:
    The two USB controllers (Via 3038 PCI to USB) are on IRQ 10!!! The only way for Via USB controllers to be on their real good one IRQ (3) is to completely disable "IRQ Steering" in "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - System Devices - PCI Bus".
    To resolve this, I tried:
    - different Via 4 in 1 (4.32, 4.35, 4.36): no changes
    - Via IRQ miniport uninstalled: no changes
    - Enable "PnP OS" and "ACPI" in the BIOS: no changes
    - Tried all the combinations in "Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - System Devices - PCI Bus - IRQ Steering" (except disabling IRQ Steering because like I said, it resolves the bug. Though, I want IRQ Steering to be enabled AND the bug resolved).
    So, if anyone have a clue, it will be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just thought that I would let you know that I have the same troubles with no IRQ being assigned by the BIOS and due to this I am having troubles getting a DUAL monitor set up running!

  • K7T Turbo and Windows XP shutdown issues

    I have just finished building a machine and installing Windows XP.  When I choose "shutdown" from the "start" (whose idea was that anyway?) menu it gets to the screen that says "It is now safe to turn off your computer" (or something to that effect) but all the system fans are still running.  How do I get the system to shutdown completely?
    The configuration:
    MS Windows XP Professional with SP1 and ALL updates from windowsupdate.com
    No other software installed (except for the drivers needed for the M/B)
    MSI K7T Turbo with the latest BIOS from MSI's site
    AMD 1400 Thunderbird w/PAL 8045 heatsink and fan
    512 PC133 SDRAM
    WD 40Gb HDD (set as master on IDE1)
    Sony CD-RW (set as master on IDE2)
    GeForce 2 MX 64Mb video
    3Com 3c905 10/100 NIC
    Integrated sound
    Generic Modem
    Generic floppy drive
    I am going to be giving this system to my mother to use and want to make sure that it will turn off when she hits shutdown.
    Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • K7T Turbo, monitor shuts off randomly

    I have a MSI K7T Turbo.  My monitor will randomly shut off.  I am running an xp1600 under win98.  Any suggestions?  I could b in a 3d game or just browsing the web.
    I have an ample AMD approve power supply and note no other irregularities.  Video card?  Sometimes when it happens I can move the mouse around and it will come back?  I even tried another monitor and I get the same problem.

    Hi,
    Try another AGP card, this is normally not something that's controlled by the motherboard.

  • K7T Turbo Ver. 3 Long-Short-Short Beeps

    I am trying to put together a computer for friends for a christmas present.  I have hooked everything up and now I get three beeps when I start the computer:  LONG, SHORT, SHORT.  What does it mean?  How do I solve it?  The motherboard is an MSI K7T Turbo Version 3.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    I just want to know what the beeps mean.  Obviously it's an error message.  The monitor won't even power on and I"m guessing that the rest of the computer doesn't start up either.
    IT doesn't matter what the graphics card is because I"ve tried more than one.
    The CPU is a CPU that worked for well over a year with the motherboard.  The hard drive doesn't matter because it made the beeps regardless of whether or not the hard drive is plugged in.  The RAM is 128mb 133mhz and it was what was in the motherboard before when it all worked.
    Does anyone know what two short beeps and one long beep means???
