MSI K7t266 Pro 6380 MOBO

Ok you guys. I just baught a new case for my computer and I transfered everything over!
The Main board is an MSI MS-6380 2.0
BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T 11/30/2001
AMD Athalon 1800+ proc
1 gig mem
After the transfer....on first start up. for reason the BIOS reset itself. sinse then i have only been able to set the bus line at 100 instead of 133 *Thats its max is 133*
when it is at 133 *I have a duel boot system with Win 2000 and Win XP pro* Win 2000 goes to a blue screen at start up and WIN XP just locks up at its post screen and sometimes doesn't even make it that far.
The new case has a 400W power supply instead of a 300W and i added a new Proc fan rated up to a 3000+
The fan is running at normal speeds and the proc is quite cool at both 100 and 133
ALSO....when i change the multiplier at 100 or 133 I loose all Video to my monitor and have to reset the BIOS manually to get it all back up.
So i am stuck at 1.1 instead of 1.5 like its suppose to be!
I'm sad:( Have you ever seen a 29 year old man thats A+ certified**Not that that means much!* cry??? My wife took pictures!!

Yes your right I should have included that on my signiture file i will be sure to update it!
ALSO
Your correct again! It was the PROC fan causing the problem.....now i have to figure out why it was the fan!?!
Thermaltake Volcano 11+ was the fan I used....according to the specs it should have worked fine for the proc.........oh well...its working now....
Thanks for the suggestions....
sorry to have irratated you!
T.s.

(using 7 coolers/fans...)

MSI K7T266 Pro(MS-6380) AND Gf4 ti4600

Just recieved a Albatron gf4 ti4600 card. The computer won't boot. The card booted perfectly on a friends expo kt266a motherboard. But the card won't boot on any of my two pc's. We have tried his Enermax psu, we have tried everything. Are there any possible solution? Is there any other who has had problems with MSI K7T266 Pro(MS-6380) and gf4 ti4600 cards? we tried his Point Of View gf4 ti4200 XP card on mine and it worked.

?(
I' have the same problem with a GeForce4 MX440 !
My computer send 8 beeps and...nothing. When I retry 3 ou 4 reset, it boot and all is OK with Windows XP.
It seems there is a voltage problem with AGP slot. I post 2 mails to MSI France but they don't answer at this time...

Msi k7t266 pro-RU Spontaneous Restart and win xp install problems

i have the following system:
athlon 1200ghz cpu with thermaltake cooler
msi k7t266 pro ru ver 2 bios ver3.7
nvidia geforce 2 mx400 64mb vcard
1x 128 ddr pc1600

1 conexant pci modem
1 lan card
1 casing fan
1 chipset fan
i have the following problems:
1. i formatted my HDD in my other desktop and installed it in my msi system. i booted from the cd and installed winxp. after installation in windows i proceeded to install updated drivers and such. after installing drivers and win xp sp1 but before being able to install office xp, my pc restarted and its own and when it rebooted i got this messsage: cannot start windows. c:windowssystem32configsystem is corrupted. i was not able to start windows again after this.
2. after the above problem, i proceeded to attemp to install win xp again. i wasnt succesful because i always get a message saying cannot copy whatever.dll file all the time. so the installation wont continue.
i hope u can all help me. i feel that the win xp cd might be busted, but then again i am also concerned about problem #1 above. i feel that if i can install windows again i will have the same "spontanous restart" incident that first started and caused (i think) probelm #2
pls help.
thanks
Anton ;(

Hi!
Really, I don't think this could be a hardware problem since WinXp takes more than few minutes to install, and you did it, then you installed drivers and SP1. Why did you format HD in the other PC ? I would try a new install, taking out all not necesary stuff, leaving only CPU, memory and video card and formatting again the HD. for a clean install; then go adding the other hardware one by one, installing it's drivers and rebooting each time. Finally before connecting to internet enable Firewall to prevent Blaster Worm ( Don't know if still is going around ). One thing: Be sure HD is well connected and configured: Master if is a slave conected to same wire..etc.- If again you get an error, I would look for a faulty HD. 8)

MSI K7T266 Pro-RU

I am using a Msi K7T266 Pro-Ru m.b. I do not seem to be able to install windows Xp on this system.
When I make a primary partition and boot Xp from Cd windows set up starts loading and after about 60 s the screen turns black with a flashing cursor!
On the same partition it is not a problem to install W98se.
I flashed the Bios in order for the mb to recognize my Athlon 2000(version 07.00T/11/30/2001).
Other hardware: 3D prophet 8500 LE/128 Mb
A open 52 speed CD Rom
A open 300 Watt voeding
WD 153 BA(7200 rpm)
256 Mb Dane Elec DDR (PC2100).
Anyone an idea?
Hans.

Memory seems okee, someone suggested that the VGA adapter is the problem, si I am going to find out.
One problem remains: my motherboard doesnot seem to be able to hold the year; time and date is okay, but after one day, I find for example 2007, the next 2001 ans so one?
Is this a known phenomena?
Hans.

MSI K7T266 Pro restart hangup

I am setting up a computer for my sister here are the specs:
1-1.3Ghz Duron CPU
1- MSI K7T266 pro
1- Maxtor 15gb drive
1-40x cd Rom
1-Soundblaster live
1-Savage4 pro AGP 4x
1-350watt Pwr supply
WinXP pro
Problem: works fine and boots from a complete power down but the restart feature locks up the computer and hangs without a feed to the monitor which goes to standby w/no signal. I check the specs on the ram I got and they check out on the recomended parts list. I am stumped? Any clue?? Prompt responses are greatly appreciated, I have to get this comp out of my life!!!
thanks!
-w

same here, comparable setup. The SBLive is notorious because of problems with the bus, but I don't think that is it. I had to flash back to version 3.3 of the bios before I could do a normal restart. All later bioses have this problem for me!

MSI K7T266 PRO 2 Upgrade problem

I have just upgraded the processor on my motherboard which is an MSI K7T266 PRO 2 . I was using an AMD Athlon XP 1700 which worked fine, I have now purchased an AMD Athlon XP 2400 with quanspeed architecture (operates at 2000mhz written on packet) and this will not work with my board . The board reports that the processor is faulty. Before I contact my retailer can you tell me if this model for any reason is not suitable for my motherboard.
Can any one help?

Your board does not support XP2400+ T'bred CPU's unless modified. Unmodified it supports up to XP2100+ Palomino only. For details see here:- Link

MSI K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) with Athlon XP 2000+ Thoroughbred

...I used search, but I couldn't find anything compared to my problem... maybe someone can help me... ok... the problem...
My hardware: This is the motherboard I'm talking about (MSI K7T Pro (MS-6380)). And the processor is Athlon XP 2000+ Thoroughbred A.
This processor in not on the supported CPUs page. But someone told me then it is maybe still possible to get this motherboard and this CPU to run correctly. Maybe with a special BIOS update or something.
Does anyone knows something about that?

I agree that if it can run a 1.4 as far as power it should run a 2100+. It appears that the multiplier is there as it should support up to 15x. I think it would work as it is only another 66mhz, you might however have to use beta bios VA1.6 . My mb will recognise my cpu as a 2200+ when O/C high enough, but my MB only support 2100+ yet tables are there for supporting the cpu.
I think like most of the issues MSI knows that it can work but is worried for some reason or another of components being damaged so they will not officially support. It might only fail in 10% or maybe less of the cases but thats enought to stop MSI, Is that enough to stop you?
Than again it is only 66mHz I doubt you'd see the difference, Is it worth the trouble? I wouldn't chance it for 66mHz you could easily O/C to that speed, actually faster.
Good luck

MSI K7T266 Pro(MS-6380 v2.x) AND Gf4 MX440

8 beeps at boot. I try 3 or 4 reset then boot normaly. No problems under Windows XP. BIOS v3.7.
Is there a voltage problem on AGP slot as I read in some forums around the world (I'm french) ?
?(

wonkanoby said : gf4 mx does not work with the board without it being adapted any other gf should,ring msi and they will alter board or get another card

Fan detection on MSI K7t266 Pro (MS 6380)

Hello, sorry for my bad english but I'm French boy :D !!
I'm have a big problem :
My old fan make some noise than i have choose to buy a new cpu fan : The Titan TTC-D5TB-TC
I put this on my mainboard, and my computer bip on the boot sequence with this error message : "Cpu Fan isn't running : Shutdown Now [y/N]"
I found the reason on multiple forum, my new fan have a speed rotation too low (~2500 rotation/min and my old fan 5000 rotation/min) !
The last bios for my mainboard don't correct the problem and i have not issue to disable the CPu fan detection !!!!
Any solution ?
Have found than the 1.8 version of my bios "Add CPU Fan detect item in the BIOS setup" if i flash a inferior version of 1.8, my fan can work well !!!
Help my please
Très cordialement :D

bad idea, the fact that he has an AMD, 2800 is WAY too slow... i think u should change ur fan.. because 2800 i think is a little too slow for an AMD 2 run at...especially a T-Bird
put ur fan in a slower computer... and see if it runs properly, and use PCAlert to find out wat speed the fans at

GF4 4400 (8871) On K7T266 Pro (6380)

X( Well I've heard about this going around already. Im having a major problem with artifacts leading to system freeze with this Geforce Mainboard combo. I am otherwise happy with all my MSI gear, and this is really the first major unsolvable problem I've had. Any suggestions would help since the local MSI distributor (PC Club Southern California) is run by a bunch of human rejects that will offer me no exchange or solution despite my having spent literally thousands of dollars there. Please help as I dont really need a $300 paperweight.
Thanks in advance....

Okay its definitely not heat or lack of power supply so Im going to run with bad ram as I have a PNY 8871 GF4 4400 working just fine. However the only way PC Club's south coast store will exchange is with a full on RMA to the factory which means I have no video for 6 weeks. This after I have spent untold thousands in the place and have only ever returned one thing. Any ideas or perhaps some muscle from MSI to contribute to the cause?

Msi k7t266 pro

I've got an 1.4ghz amd proc, gf2 mx400, 256mb ddr 2100 ram, USB mouse and USB keyboard.
When I turn it on all I hear it a loud repeating(very fast) ticking noise. My keyboard isn't being detected either, and nor my ps2 keyboard. I reset my mobo's CMOS, and now I can't even enter the setup because the keyboard doesn't work, and all I hear is this repeating ticking noise.

got the same prob.... the ps2 died on me... :(
change keyboard & mouse to usb problem gone..
u have to select usb device -> all devices in bios for usb keyboard to work in dos mode
Good luck

K7T266 Pro R and Geforce 2 GTS problem

Hello everyone. I have been experiencing a problem for some time now regarding lockups and crashes caused by my video card, which vary in severity depending on the driver version used. Since I'm using an MSI K7T266 Pro Raid mobo (version 1) I thought I'd post my question here.
The exact problem depends on the driver version. Using any Nvidia Detonator drivers at version 40 or newer, my system becomes extremely unstable. On first booting everything seems fine, however if I try to open my Geforce display properties the Windows freezes during the redraw of the display properties window, which goes blank. Sometimes I can call up Close Programs Dialog, which shows DDHELP in the list, and [not responding]. I've never actually gotten an error message from DDHELP or any other error message -- perhaps the computer jams too hard for Windows to get one up. I've seen reports around the Net about DDHELP problems from things like DirectX 8.1, but they're never quite like my problem. The problem is identical on DirectX 8.0, 8.1, and on 9.0.
No matter what I try to do in Windows with these drivers installed, the computer will lock up in seconds. For example, if I then open IE 5.5, I might be able to get as far as a page or two before the similar thing happens: during the window redraw the computer locks up (usually with a blank or partially-redrawn window), sometimes causing the mouse to lock and sometimes not, and then if I can get the Close Program Dialog open DDHELP has appeared and is Not Responding.
The most stable driver version I've found so far is 29.42, which does not cause the lockup above and never causes DDHELP to appear. However, it is quite unstable as well, and causes Windows to lock up sporadically during 2D window redraws in various programs. For example, when calling up a Save Document dialog or when opening a pulldown menu the program will lock either before any of the redraw becomes visible on screen or when the new dialog box is "skeletal", only partially drawn. Sometimes the crash is severe enough that I have to do a cold restart on my system.
The other problem is that sporadically garbage blocks will appear in portions of my screen, like old windows and color bands popping up that do not refresh. This often happens to me in Photoshop 6, and happens usually when I'm scrolling down a window or something.
These problems with version 29.42 all appear to be 2d window-drawing related. I do not have any problems with 3d games with 29.42. However, the new reference drivers are so unstable on my system that I can't even try to open them.
With 29.42, the most stable drivers I've found so far, some kind of lockup due to redrawing windows almost always occurs within an hour (sometimes minutes) of booting up.
For what it's worth, dxdiag tests just fine.
I was hoping someone could help me figure out what's causing the trouble, what driver I should use, and how to resolve it. If possible, I'd really like to use the newer drivers as I've been told they're much faster. In any event, I hate having such an unstable system where lockups could occur at any moment!
Here's the lowdown of my system:
-MSI K7T266 Pro Raid [1] mobo (MS-6380)
AMIBIOS date: 5/1/2001
VIA 4in1 drivers version 4.45
ACPI power management disabled
PnP Aware OS enabled
-256 meg PC2100 SDRAM with 266 mhz FSB
2.5 cas latency
-AMD Athlon 1.33 gb with 266 mhz FSB
-Asus AGP-V7700 (Geforce 2 GTS) 32 mb
AGP 4X, Fast Write enabled, Aperture size 128 mb
current drivers: Nvidia reference 29.42 (also 40+)
on IRQ11 (shares with my Ethernet card)
BIOS version 2.15.01.14
-Windows 98SE
-DirectX 9.0 (also tried 8.1 etc)
-Soundblaster Live! 5.1 on slot 3, drivers from 5/2002
-Viewsonic PF790 monitor
-C drive is 30gb Western Digital 7200rpm, FAT32
-D drive is Raid 0 striped array, pair of 40gb 7200rpm
-Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet Adapter on slot 5
-no memory resident programs on loadup except for WinPoET, Explorer, Systray
If there's anything I've left out that could help, let me know!
Thanks to anyone in advance,

K7T 266 Pro (6380) + 0.13 micro = ?

Does my motherboard MSI K7T266 Pro(6380) work with a 0.13 micro AMD prozessor? Does it work with prozessors over 2000+? Will there be a new bios release? :O

it seems that Athlons with new smaller core does not work in this motherboard. is there going to be a new BIOS supporting new CPUs?
it's really not fair that I bought the CPU 1700+ XP because I know my MB supports till 1800+ XP and then I find out it doesn't ;(
