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
1x 256 ddr pc1600

1x maxtor 5400 rpm 30gb HDD (slave)
1x cd-rom
1x cd-writer
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 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(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

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?

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

I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks.

I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks. It has become unusable. Is there a software update to fix this issue?
I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card - I am not even being asked to put in the sim pin to unlock the sim
I have reset the network settings and reconnected to my wireless network. I can get onto the wireless network but the ipad does not connect to my carrier even though my mobile phone (same carrier) has great service.
It seems to me that due to the connecton issue the ipad then restarts itself so I cant even use it for the local apps that do not require any connection to run because every few minutes the unit reboots.
heading to an istore tomorrow to have it looked at but wondered if there is a software upate or setting I can change myself to fix this isse.
not happy after the cost of the unit and ony had a few days use before the issues started!

Thanks Alan,
in the end it was replaced at the Apple iStore, they restored factory settings and it was still playing up for them too. Weird but the replacement is working perfectly!!

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

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

I erase my mac book pro to factory setting and cannot re-install the software. I received a message saying my Apple ID has not yet used with the App store. Please review your account information. Could anyone help please. I need to re-install my os.

Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since. Did they sell me a faulty netbook?

Hi everyone. I bought my Mac Book Pro 2 years ago and it has had problems since.

They say it happens with laptops
Well... yes... it can happen with all computers, but that's certainly not a resolution. Are you working directly with Apple or a different service provider? If something (Word) has not been working since day one... even after repairs, then they haven't fixed it (provided you told them about the problem).
Basically, as others have said... if you've been getting the service you've described directly from Apple, I would give them a call and express your concern. You're in good shape while your warranty is still effective. Get them to fix it to your satisfaction. If something isn't working as it should, don't be afraid to say something.

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!

Spontaneous Restarts in Win 2K

Getting very random restarts in windows 2K, can't quite figure out why????? nothing i do seems to make any difference! I am running the very latest drivers for all hardware (which all works fine on other motherboards) but with the K7N2G board i have no confidence to use it with out is spontaneously restarting. After readin all articles i can find i'm hoping its the RAM voltages, please help if anyone has any suggestions otherwise ill try altering this!!!! cheers! ;( X( ?(

Thanks for the response, i have tried fixing it by upping the voltage to the RAM this appears to have done the trick, its now been a while since the last spontaneous restart!!!!! cool huh, however the system heat has gone up but i aim to fix this with better cooling on the CPU and RAM. Any further probs and i will of course supply tech specs, but the first post was just to see if anyone new an immediate fix. Cheers for help. :D
Life is just one big oyster!!!!
P.s. Good one with the crystal ball, i use Gumbo myself!!

Macbook Pro stuck in restart loop with fresh install

Hello!
I have a Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) that I have been running Snow Leopard on up until now. I had been meaning to upgrade to Mavericks for a while, but had just never gotten around to it. Over the last month or so, my Macbook has been running really slow, hanging on the spinning beachball every few minutes for a few seconds (sometimes up to a minute or so). So I figured a clean start might be the best way to go, and while I'm at it, I might as well upgrade to Mavericks.
I backed up all my data, and then I created a Mountain Lion bootable usb (I had trouble making a Mavericks bootable usb from Snow Leopard, and since I had bought Mountain Lion for my desktop, I just decided to do a fresh install of that, and then upgrade to Mavericks). I had no problem booting to the usb, erased my hard drive and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion. However, after the install on the usb, my mac restarted and got stuck in a restart loop. It will chime, show the apple logo and spinning gears for a few seconds, then the gears stop spinning, and then the mac immediately restarts (this time displaying a message saying the mac has recovered from a shutdown in a number of languages), and the same thing happens again.
I was able to boot into the recovery partition, checked the permissions, found some that needed to be fixed, ran the repair permissions, verified the disk and was told the disk appears okay. Tried to then restart and same thing.
I have reset SMC, NVRAM, and none of these change anything. I booted in single user mode and ran fsck -fy, and recieved a message saying modifications were made, rebooted, same thing.
I have booted in verbose mode and the system restarts at the same point every time, right after displaying a message that says
SMC::smcReadKeyAction Error: (and then something with "BEMB", it goes by really fast so its hard to read exactly)
I have managed to boot into safe mode, but this has not made a difference. On one of my boots into safe mode, I went ahead and made a Mavericks bootable usb, and restarted the process: wiped the drive, installed mavericks, but I am in the exact same situation. I can still boot into safe mode.
I have seen some other issues that people have posted, but most involve the system freezing after the apple screen (not restarting) or do not involve freshly formatted HDs.
I'm just tying to find out if this is a hard drive issue, or if my mac itself needs to be retired. It has had a pretty long life (being 5 years old), and one of the RAM bays doesn't work (it is only running 4GB of ram, not sure if that can cause a problem with the boot cycle).
Sorry if thats a lot of information, I've been trouble shooting this for a few days. But thanks for any help you can offer!
A strange note:
-when booting from the mavericks usb, I got stuck in the restart loop a couple of times. I managed to get past this by clicking the mousepad a few times right after the gears finished spinning. The mouse became visible, the apple screen shifted color a bit (went from a bluish gray tint to an orangish gray tint), the mouse became visible, and I got to the reinstall menu as normal. As far as I can tell the clicking may have been coincidental, but it was the only time I was able to boot the usb, and I wasn't going to risk restarting to test that, and then not be able to boot again.

Hey, thank you for your reply! I didn't have everything backed up, but I have a lot of my important stuff saved, though, so that's somewhat of a relief..
As far as my hard drive is concerned, would I have to send it in somewhere to get it fixed or would I just have to get a brand new one? If so, how much? Sorry if I seem a bit amateur, but this computer is my first personal computer, and I'm really lost without it!

My macbook pro 2012 keeps restarting saying there is a problem

My macbook pro with retina display 2012 keeps restarting saying there is a problem. tHEN A REORT POPS UP

Two of those reports were panics with Sophos as the only item in the backtrace. You don't seem to know how to read panic logs, so I'll have to point out that this is the only confirmation you will ever get that a particular kernel extension caused the panic.
And you can absolutely rule out a hardware problem or corrupted system based solely on the fact that a Sophos kext is in the installed kext list?
You yourselfwrote in that thread:
Linc and many others are of the opinion that you should absolutely never install commercial anti-virus software, such as Sophos. ... Certainly, your experience would seem to indicate that there's some truth to that.
Indeed I did. That was back when ML was new, and there had been a couple reports I saw complaining of problems with Sophos. It was too early to tell whether there was a compatibility problem, but it was easily possible. Nothing ever materialized, that I have seen, since then.
Let me ask you this, though: have you ever actually tested any of them?
Of course not [...] I tell people to remove it, and when they do, their problem is solved. That's all the testing I need to do.
You've gotten enough feedback to take this from anecdotal to statistically significant? If so, those findings would be worth documentation. If not, you can't be 100% sure that there wasn't something wrong with the Sophos install, the system or the hardware.
Now, don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to claim that Sophos won't ever cause problems and can't conflict with anything else. No software is ever perfect, and all kernel extensions run the potential risk of conflicting with other third-party kernel extensions or causing other problems. However, based on my testing as well as reports that I have received, I see no reason to condemn Sophos in such an absolute manner. It is one of the best-behaved anti-virus apps that uses kernel extensions, in my experience. If I were going to recommend anti-virus software for someone (which would depend on many factors, such as that user's sophistication, work environment, home environment, use patterns, etc), Sophos would be one I would recommend.
Not once, to my knowledge, has it ever saved anyone from a malware infection
You have documentation of that, do you?
