MSI K7T266 Pro2 cpu fan doesn't start

Hello!
I have the mainboard MSI K7T266 Pro2, I have just upgraded my bios to version 3.7. When I start my computer, it stops and beeps to warn me that the cpu fan is'nt running, but when I open the computer to see If the cpu fan is running it does start, so why does is say that the fan doesn't star when it acctually does start?

No....!! There is nothing bad mounted.  
The reason for this post of you PC, is that the cooler isn't running fast enough for the BIOS, so your BIOS just wantst to warn you. The easiest way to get rid of it, is to disable the "CPU Fan Detection" in the BIOS, or connect the fan to another plug. That's all there is to it!

  • [VIA] [K7t266 pro2] cpu fan at 0 rpm

    Hello,
    I've connected my new fan 'Thermaltake Silent Boost' to the three-pin connector of the motherboard. The fan spins perfectly, but when I start my computer an alert is displayed informing me that the fan isn't running (but it is).
    When I look at the Hardawre Monitor Setup in my bios, I see 'CPU Fan : 0 rpm'. But with MBM5 or FuzzyLogic under Windows, the sensor works.
    Have I some value to change in the Bios ?
    Motherboard : k7t266 Pro2
    Bios : AMI BIOS
    Fan : Thermaltake Volcano Silent Boost K7
    Thanks

    the fan is at ~2400rpm sothat's  maybe why my bios don't detect it as osnavi say.
    I don't find any place where to disable fan speed monitoring. Any one has an idea ? (the manual is at http://us-download.msi.com.tw/support/mnu_exe/mbd_mnu/E6380LEv2.0.exe)
    I'm afraid I should update the BIOS (v3.5 fix the problem) but i've lost a mobo two years ago because of this...

  • MSI K7T266 Pro2 troubleshooting

    Hello,
    I just recently recieved a MSI K7T266 Pro2 motherboard (A6390MS) and I'm getting some weird troubles with it. I connected everything to the motherboard and when i start up the computer the screen comes up fine... but for some reason when i go to hit delete to go into setup it doesn't work. It continues to boot until it tries to detect any hard drives connected to raid. Since i don't have anything hooked up to it, it says "No Array is Defined.........." Then it says to hit to continue booting. For some reason it must not be detecting my keyboard because any button i hit does nothing at all. So after i let it sit there and do nothing, it goes back to the first screen that tells you the BIOS version and CPU and all that, and it displays the message "CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad"
    I'm not exactlly sure what that means or why it is saying this. I've been sitting here for a week trying new things. My Keyboard is PS/2 so i figured that might be it. I tried using a PS/2 to USB adaptor and it still won't do anything when i hit DEL to go into Setup. I tried different keyboards and I only get the same thing. I checked MSI's website and they have no information at all and i couldn't find anything on the internet to help. Hopefully someone here may know what my problem is.  I think that the PS/2 ports are bad, and if so, how is that fixable?
    I didn't buy the motherboard, my friend's dad gave it to me to try out because my previous ASUS motherboard died out on me.  So as far as sending it back to MSI, I dunno if that is possible.  I'd have to find out how long their warrenty is and how long ago he bought it.

    It won't even read the floppy disk drive to use a boot disk because it seaches for the HDD first i guess.
    Now after taking the battery out and all that it just keeps saying CMOS settings wrong instead of the other message about "CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad" and i can't make it go away.
    I'm really lost now and not sure what to do with the board because it's obvious that it works... but if it is something as small as the ps/2 ports being damaged, it would be such a waste.
    Also the PC Speaker is making a rapid clicking noise and im not sure what it means.  It also beeps 3 times after it tries to detect the raid and goes back to the start up screen that shows the information about the processor and ram and stuff

  • [VIA] RAID 0 Data Recovery with MSI K7T266 Pro2

    Well my Motherboard has seem to have gone TU on me, and it is well beyond it's warranty. 
    I have two 60gb HD running in Striped mode using the on-board raid.  If I were to get the same motherboard, would this allow me to see the striped array and recover my data, or am I at a loss?  I have some of the data backed up, but since most of it isnt, because I have nearly filled my 120GB of space and I don't have a good backup solution. 
    Thanks.
    Current Config:
    AMD XP 1900+
    MSI K7T266 Pro2
    GeForce 4400Ti
    Two WD 60gb @ RAID 0.

    SporkLover,
    My current RAID Array is on its 6th or 7th mobo (Multiple different mobo chipsets and different controllers) and I have not lost either the Array, Partition, or any Data.
    You just have to make sure that you make the primary HD the same on the new RAID and it is Crucial that you use the same Stripe Size, if you do not, then all data will be lost!
    Take Care,
    Richard
    Rich,
    Thats comforting to know!  This setup has been the best, and most reliable, so when I bought all of the components years ago, I set it up and forgot most of the parameters. 
    I completely used up all of the available space so I think that should make guessing that stripe size easy.
    osnavi, not entirely sure what happened.  It started to lock up on me randomly, and after much trouble shooting and frustration, I gave up.  Eventually I saw the problem, a few of the capacitors on the motherboard started to peak, and eventually busted.  Not sure what caused it, maybe it was my power supply.  Its an Enermax 400W, and when I bought it, it was within the required specs for the processor and Mobo.  There was plenty of case cooling, as well as CPU Cooling... so it is a great mystery to me.
    Thanks again!

  • Raid 0 Failure! XP Pro won't read array on MSI k7T266 pro2 *URGE

    Before anything else, thanks for reading and I hope you can help:
    I have an MSI k7T266 Pro2A-RU motherboard with 512MB of Mushkin RAM, AMD XP 1600+, a Geforce2 MX400, Audigy Soundcard and a cheap PCI NIC card.  I consider myself an above average technician and I've come up on a problem I can't figure out.  There is about 80GB of data at stake here:
    I have 2 IBM Deskstar 40GB 7200 RPM drives that were configured in a RAID 0 (stripe) configuration over a year and a half ago.  This gave me a total of 80GB online.  Windows XP Professional was installed and the drives have been running fine every since...
    The system was practically bulletproof and it was very rare it ever locked up for any reason.  A few days ago, however, the system locked up about 4 or five times.  There was no software or hardware that had been added or installed and system use hadn't really changed up or down. I run up to date antivirus software (Command Anti-Virus), run behind a secure firewall and watch what I open.  The lock ups were random, but happened when I was away from the computer. ( I leave my system on all the time).
    Being a bit paranoid, on 1/28/03, I acquired an 80GB Maxtor drive to install to back up my datafiles.  Before the install, I notice the system had locked up at least once that day, so I figured I would hurry up and get the drive in to back up.  I installed the 80, booted, configured it in XP and made it active and transfered a few test files over.  No problem.  I made the decision to back up my data files before bed and continued to work for the next two hours.  The system ended up locking up with a windows blue screen STOP error message: KERNEL_FAULT_INPAGE_ERROR when I tried to run a program.  Thinking little of it, I rebooted the computer to find I could no longer access the data on the RAID.  
    I've tried nearly EVERYTHING I can think of.  (You can already assume I've done the basics (check/replace the cables, etc).  Here's a list and the results:
    ---- Reboot in all available modes (Safe,  Safe with NW, Normal, Last known, etc).  They all FAIL.  In safe modes, you can see where the system actually tries to boot off the array (runs through driver files and stops on MUP.SYS) and hangs. Same result with all other drives removed except the RAID.
    ---- Installed another drive, loaded XP with the raid controller files (By the way, it's a Promise ATA 100 "lite" controller), plugged the RAID back in and it hangs on boot up.  Safe mode gives the same results.  Tried the same thing with Windows 2000 (so I could access the NTFS partition) and Windows 2000 won't load when the array is plugged in, but loads ok when it isn't (used the 2000 driver for the RAID controller for this attempt).   Safe mode gives the same results.
    ---- Removed all drives except the Array and tried to reload XP (with the array drivers downloaded again from the site.) No effect.  System hangs.
    ---- In a last ditch effort, I have access to Winternals Administration Pack 2002 of all of their tools.  ERC Commander, designed for this type of problem, Disk Commander, and the other tools all do the same thing:  Any time the system attempts to read from or access the arry, the OS will hang.  It won't even check for NTFS compatibility in the ERC commander program booting from a boot CD, and for those that are familiar with it, the Disk Commander program blue screens with a STOP: 0x000007B (0xF896963C, 0xC0000034, 0x0, 0x0) error. Research has told me this is an INACCESSABLE BOOT DEVICE message.
    These are the main highlight major attempt things and there's a few things in between I've tried (like using Norton Ghost to try and mirror the array to the 80GB.  Norton ghost said there is an error reading the partition and can't go any further (Returns an Internal error))
    I'm at the point where I have run out of available options and don't know what else to try.  I have since purchased the exact same motherboard off e-bay to see if it just so happens to be the controller and to see if my RAID will come back so I can at least read the data off of it.  It should be here in a few days.  If that doesn't work, I'm toasted.  Could I be fighting a hardware (drive or board or controller) problem.  Is the array THAT corrupt the OS can't read it???  
    If anyone has any other bright ideas, I'm willing to try about anything short of damaging the array. Any help is greatly appreciated.  Please post here, or e-mail to [email protected].
    BTW, the Promise BIOS is Fasttrak 100 "Lite" v 1.31.1(Build 30)
    Thanks.

  • MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU - problem with the lite-raid - would like to use it as a normal ide

    Hi!
    I tried to install a single drive on the raid-controller and create a single array for it.
    For some reason the disk management in Windows XP does not see it, even though
    I have updated the related drivers. However, the Disk management showed it the first time after I had installed the HD onto the raid, but as I could not do anything intelligent with Disk management in regard of the HD, I removed the drive from Disk management with that effect that the disk management does not recognize the drive at all, even though I have now re-created the array on the risk, disabled and enabled raid on the Bios.
    I read that there exists modified bios for MSI KT3 Ultra ARU BIOS, which will turn the Raid into regular IDE. That would be something that would most probably be the best way to proceed for me. However, do such bioses exist for MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU? Any other suggestions on how to get the disk management to succeed in recornizing the IDE on the raid-controller would be good to hear as well.
    Yours sincerely,
    Tero

    Ok, I tried updating with the hacked 3.7 Full Raid Bios. Now I seem to have another problem: even though the hacked bios recognizes my HD, it thinks it's about 130 GB, when it in reality would be 250 GB. The hacked bios seems to work ok with Disk Management in Windows XP too, so it's a shame that the hacked bios doesn't seem to have a support for large disks. On the other hand the link at Lumberjacker was dead for the hacked bios v3.6, I would have tried it, if it would have provided me with a good solution to my problem.
    I then went back and installed the official v3.7 bios and the lite raid does now recognize the HD being 250 GB, but the Disk Management just states "Missing" in regard of the HD and does not let me do anything fruitful with it. I looked the HD's properties and the Device Manager just states "Hardware device not connected code 45".
    How in earth could I manage to make this work now (I do not want to move my other HD:s as they are full of stuff and don't want to risk losing any content)?
    General specs of the computer: IDE 1: 60 GB and 120 GB Matrox, IDE 2: Nec2500 and Sony DVD-Rom, Athlon 1800+ XP, 512 MB memory, Ati 9700 np, Network adapter card. The new HD to be added is a 250 GB WD (have removed the jumper)
    Thank you for any tips,
    Tero

  • 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 Pro2-RU and 200GB HDD

    Since 2001 I have used my computer builded with MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU ( 6380)  mainboard.
    A week ago I bought a new Samsung's hard disk (SP2014N) with 200 GB capacity. Before connection of the new disk to my computer, I upgraded BIOS to the newest one, downloaded from MSI Web site.
    The new disk is connected as master to IDE-0 interface and to the second IDE is connected my old 40 GB Seagate (as master) and DVD recorder NEC ND-3520 (as slave). The BIOS has detected the new disk as Auto, the old one as User type (47), the DVD recorder as CD and everything looks right, but there is a problem: I can not connect any drive as slave on Primary IDE channel. The BIOS does not recognize the HDD or CD/DVD connected to slave on Primary channel.
    Can you help me, please?

    To Osnavi's questions: yes, yes, yes, yes.
    To DaveR: my both optical drives worked as slave together with my old Seagate HDD (40 GB) and everything was fine.
    I don't like to connect both hard drives on the same channel, because I'm working with huge video files and I need some speed of independent HDDs.

  • Presario C700 (C776CA) fan doesn't start

    Hi
    Recently, my C700 had overheating problem. Like the support told me years ago (2), I removed the battery and the power supply and pushed the power button few seconds. I also spread air in the fan like they told me.
    After that, the notebook starts but the fan doesn't : the CPU overheat and the notebook shut down.
    I tried waiting some time to see if it changes something : no!
    Thanks for the help
    TAG

    Try to do a BIOS update. Go to www.hp.com , put the unit product no and do a search. Select the operating system and then download and run the latest BIOS available for your system. Make sure there is no accessories connected to the unit except the ac adapter while you are flashing the BIOS. Let the system restart and check if the fan is working or not.
    If it still doesnt work, call HP technical support and get the unit servcied.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • MSI K9N2 Diamond CPU FAN SPEED

    It is not much of a problem, but, recently I changed my msi k9n platinum with k9n2 diamond and, of course, I transfered the old hardware to the new mainboard.
    My CPU is x2 64 athlon 6000+ and my fan is Cooler Master Susurro (http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=354). On my platinum board my fan
    acted quietly, around 1000-1100 rpms and the cpu temp. around 42-44 degrees celsius. As I changed the mainboard the cpu temp. fell on 34-36 BUT the cpu fan
    is now cooling faster, around 1400-1600 rpms. I don't mind my cpu 8 degrees hotter and a better sleep at night :D. I've tried latest drivers, cool&quiet drivers, bios
    cool&quiet, smart fan target.. nothing helps. It is the same. I run windows XP SP2. Updated to the last released bios. Tied speedfan, but it doesn't support that
    mainboard. And my fan is now too loud, can someone help me

    When changing motherboard you need to do at least a repair installation of Windows. Can't really be avoided.
    That would mean you reinstall motherboard drivers. Maybe things work better this time.
    You set Cooln'quiet to minimal savings, if I'm not mistaken.
    Your Susurro got a few years. Are you sure it is up to the job? The test you link to was with a Socket 939 processor, at about half to 2/3 the power and heat output to the one you got.
    Oh, and please mention your PSU, too.

  • MSI 790GX-G65 CPU fan was going into 'overdrive' by itself, now it won't

    I don't use automatic fan speed on my machine, I have it set to 100% all the time, which is ~3500 RPM.
    However, recently I was playing Entropia, and my CPU fan started going even faster, about ~5400 RPM.
    This was good, because it gave better cooling, but today, It's running even hotter than it was then and it's only ~3500 RPM again.
    Does anyone know what caused my CPU fan to go into 'overdrive' and how I can do that again? I would like to get my CPU as cool as possible.

    Quote from: Henry on 10-December-10, 10:01:10
    What is the CPU temperature?
    Idling currently at 36 degrees but when playing Entropia it goes up to 55 normally. I am using the stock heatsink which I think is too damn small.
    Today it was up to 61 degrees, the fan did not go faster, which is what it did last time and it kept at 55 and below.
    Quote from: Fredrik on 10-December-10, 10:02:56
    There is no other program controlling the fan speed, too? Like CoreCenter or similar.
    For safety, I would also have a look inside the case.
    I have speedfan for speed and temperature readout, but it doesn't control the speed. (set to 100% default)
    What am I looking for in the case?

  • MSI H81M-P33 Cpu Fan Speed Problem! Urgent

    Hi. Bought a H81M-P33 board and got a problem.
    I can´t increase my CPU fan Speed to maxium RPM . Tried to use Command Center and Board Bios without any sucess.
    This leads to my cpu (i5 4670) getting hot with stock cooler. When I´m encoding a video it reaches 85º. The best solution I had was to connect CPU Fan to Chassis Fan slot on the motherboard and it increased speed, but still it doesn´t increase past a certain value.
    What can I do to solve this problem? Tried everything without any luck. The board doesn´t handle CPU fan speed + temperatura increase well. Is not normal to have a CPU stock volts getting hot.
    Thanks

    I know that for sure XFM. The thing is that the board isn´t increasing CPU fan speed as it should. Ofc a better cooler would do the job, but even with stock cooler it can be cooler. The problem is that the fan is always in slow mode :|

  • MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU - Memtest-86 Errors

    Hi, I have two 256MB 266DDR's by VM (there's "Nanya" on the chips) and when running Memtest-86 V3.0, I get about 10-15 errors in test 10. This doesn't happen when I test the sticks alone, only when they are together. When searching for this I found that some ppl with Abit and ECS VIA KT266a boards had this problem, and the solution was like this:
    * 1T Command - OFF
    * DDR DQS Input Delay - 20
    * DDR DQS Ouptut Delay - 40
    * Command drive strength - Hi
    But the BIOS of my mobo has only the first option to set, I tried to set it OFF and it didn't helped, same with changing DDR voltage to 2.7 volts.
    Other options (CAS, RAS etc) are set by SPD.
    All the errors in memtest are like this:
    - all adresses above 256 MB
    - no exact address had error more than 1 time (it's random)
    - all adresses end with 5c, 9c, dc, 7c...
    - The pattern Memtest wrote is f7f7f7f7 or 7f7f7f7f
    - The pattern Memtest read is f7f7f7ff or 7f7f7fff

    i have k7t266 pro2 aswell and had memtest errors too.
    I solved the errors by loading bios defaults,not performance and setting memory timing to
    2,2,5,2-most aggresive
    settings
    memory interleaving 2 way for 1 stick,4 way for 2 sticks.
    sdram 1t command-disabled
    fast command enabled.
    Also clear nv ram in the bios after changing memory timings and reboot and retest,it worked for me,good luck.
