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 (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.

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

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.

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 Pro2 (MS-6380 v2.0) no boot

Since yesterday I have the following problem. When I restarted my pc it hung on the status (visible via the lights on the motherboard) on the 'boot attempt'. It recognizes all my drives (1x HD, 2xCDROM, 1xfloppy) and the cdrom and the floppy have a bootdisk/cd inserted. So, after the recognition of the devices it should try to boot the devices in the order specified (which I have tried in all combinations). But it just doesn't. You can hear that neither the cdroms nor the floppydrive is being used. The harddrive is empty, so it can't boot from there. But I know that the cdrom and floppy work because my motherboard does recognize them.
And yes, my pc has worked without problems for almost 2 years and I did not remove or add any devices.
I have a MSI K7T266 Pro2 (MS-6380 v2.0)
Can anyone please help me?!?!?

Hello.
2 years running fine and all of a sudden it is not booting?
Maybe after all this time something has finally gone wrong.
The best way to find out what is causing the hang would be to remove all the devices,
Remove hard drive, both cd drives and floppy drives.
Then connect 1 at a time and try to boot from it.
Test the floppy drive in your PC, does it boot from the boot disk?
if it does then put the hard drive back, IDE 1 master.
boot order floppy, hard drive
see if it still boots from the floppy drive
if yes then put 1 cd drive on IDE2 master, see if it boots from floppy.
boot order floppy, CD drive ,hard drive
if yes then put a bootable cd in the cd drive and see if it boot s from the CD drive.
You are using bootable cd's and disks?

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

Help! Can't overclock via CPU Ratio (multiplier) with K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)?

I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz (266 MHz FSB) that I'm trying to overclock via the clock multiplier on my K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo.
Right now the CPU ratio is set to Auto in the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS, but I know that it's using a clock multiplier of 9 (9 x 133 Mhz = 1197 Mhz, which is about 1.2 Ghz)
The only way that I can overclock this CPU is by increasing the FSB above 133 MHz. That works, but I'd like to avoid that as the USB no longer works when the FSB is past 138 MHz (i.e. I can't OC higher than 1242 MHz through the FSB)
If I set the clock multiplier above 9 (ex: 9.5, 10, etc.) nothing happens. I reboot and my CPU is still at 1.2 GHz. Its as if I can't OC by increasing the CPU ratio. I'd like to set it to 10 and run at 1.33 GHz but I can't. Why is that?
If I lower my CPU ratio below 9, then the computer freezes up totally at bootup and I have to clear the CMOS to get it working again.
THANKS!

Hi,
You need to unloack the CPU, search google for closing L1 Bridges, then you can set it to anything you want

K7t266 Pro Ms-6380 + Western Digital 160gb

Hi there.
I have a MSI K7T266 PRO V1.0 motherboard with the 1.9 BIOS version.
I wanna buy an Western Digital 160 GB hard drive. Did anyone know if the motherboard can detect it succesfully (because of the 137 GB barrier).
Has anyone been successful in this operation? ... The BIOS version said the 137 GB barrier is broken.
BUT ... I REELY, REELY, REELY NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S TRUE AND IT'S ACTUALLY WORKS FINE....
Thanks to everyone.
Q Inc.

if it supports one 160 gb drive it will support any size drive by any maker

K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) Issue

Hello all
This problem has been bugging me for quite some time now;

My Computer specs are:

512 MB DDR RAM pc 2100 (Have tryed memtest86)
AMD 1500+
K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)
Regards

Had the same trouble with my old card. The thing wont work on new motherboards with the latest nvidia drivers because the AGP port speed is too fast for the card. You can fix it by disabling the vertical sync but that just makes the system unstable. Roll back to the 46 driver, I think that's the one dated october 2003. That driver seems to work good with those cards or use the original driver it came with. If you still can't get it to work it might be a good idea to look at updating to a video card that can handle 8x AGP.

K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) v1.0 with IBM 180GXP/180 GB drive

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying one of the new IBM Deskstar 180GXP hard disks and I'd like to go for the 180GB version.
Question is, wether my board K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) v1.0 with latest bios v1.9 will support the large drive 100%.
I read in the changelog for the bios about the support for the Maxtor 160 GB drive but is somebody actually using a disk larger than 128 GB, that might require 48 bit adressing with the MS-6380 (it's the old version 1.0 I'm talking about) and has more than 137 GB on data on it without noticeable problems? I couldn't find any info about this in the forums or on the net.
Thanks in advance for your help.
G. Freeman

Hello Assaf,
Thank you for your note.
Just for the archives: I bought the 180GB IBM-disk and it's working without any problems. The 1.9 BIOS is fine and Windows recognizes the drive as well. Only thing I had to do was to update the VIA 4-in-1 drivers and enable Big LBA support in Windows 2000, as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article #305098. After a reboot Windows recognized the complete disk (before only ~128 GB).
After some hours of testing (bit by bit writing and reading on the whole disk and some 'WinBenching') I installed Windows 2000 and it's running very well so far.
Anyway, others might be better off with an IDE controller for Windows 98/ME or NT4.

K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) safe BIOS-upgrading?

I'm still using BIOS v.1.0A for my K7T266 Pro... I guess...
So what's the safest way to upgrade to V1.9?
I'm unsure about flashing... and cant afford any comupter-failure for the moment (thou I want a bigger harddisk)!
Any suggestions? /Stefan

Best way is to follow the instructions to flash using 2 floppy disks. One will have the windows98 startup files the second will have the flash program and the update itself. Just make sure you copy the flash util and the update over to the temporary drive it makes. Also if you have a UPS (universal power supply: battery backup) it would be benifical to hook it up just in case the power goes out.
Just make sure you read the stickies in the bios section of the forum and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. It is always a risk to flash your bios, but it is also a risk everytime you get into a car. You just want to be well informed, before you attempt this, just like you "should" be with driving a car.
Good Luck
Jeremy

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.
