MSI K8T Master2-FAR won't boot!!

Ok, I have the Athlon 64 FX-51 with the MSI K8T Master2-FAR. I have one gigabyte of REGISTERED Memory (Corsair), 500W Power Supply, 120GB Seagate SATA HDD, DVD, DVD-RW, FDD, & 250MB Zip Drive. Everything is (as far as I know) installed properly, but when I try to power it up, it doesn't start up. Nothing will come on the screen, but the fans spin properly, and the motherboard speaker beeps at me (telling me something is wrong). ANY advice will be graciously accepted.

Wow, that sounds like a killer system. I have not had a lot of experience with this motherboard, so my ideas here are going to be pretty general. The speaker beep is a POST message: the number and length of beeps should correspond to the failed check when starting your computer. You'll want to check in the mobo manual for a chart of post beeps and the associated failures.
Otherwise, you can check your video card to see if it is working. Make sure it is firmly seated in the AGP slot, and make sure you have supplied the additional power connector (needed for most high end graphics cards). Also, try removing one DIMM (stick of memory) and see if it boots that way and try moving around the remaining DIMM if it still wont boot.
Similar problems often occur when your system does not recognize or support the RAM at SPD settings (or whatever you set them to last). Clear the CMOS and restart if you have changed the settings yourself (this will put them back to the defaults). If you have not changed the memory timings, you could try booting up with other memory modules, and then swapping them out after you have gotten the system to boot (this might be difficult since you need to find registered modules).
More information would be helpful... post the current over your PSU drive rails. Just saying that it is 500W is not enough.
As long as your CPU fans are moving, you shouldn't be damaging anything by trying different things. However, when you stop and restart your system, always wait for a little while for the power in your PSU to dissipate (you should hear a "PZZT" sound). Otherwise, if you keep starting and restarting your computer, you may blow something up.
Good luck!

i think you will have to get some thing has far more amps than that on the 12v rail
as both cpu,any modern vga card ,all drives
basically every thing bar ram runs of the 12v rail

Problem with NVidia Quadro FX 4000 on MSI K8T Master2-Far

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums here. I cannot figure out what is causing my problem.
I have been having performance issues with my new Quadro FX 4000 on my system. I have been in communication with Nvidia tech support for a while now. Here is the discussion I have been having with them. It explains my problem in detail. Be sure to read it from bottom to top though.
*Update*
I have a feeling that my PSU might be causing the low performance, seeing that the Quadro requires two power connectors to attach to it: (http://www.pny.com/support/quadro/install/FX4000AdditionalPowerRequirements.pdf)
Here is my PSU:

I do not know much about PSU's, so any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pat,
I have checked the NVBug Database and although there has been Bugs submitted where a MSI Master2-Far motherboard was used, none of the issues were caused by the motherboard. They just happened to have a MSI Master2-Far motherboard.
We have seen conflicts when both ATI and NVIDIA drivers are both installed, but I would hope that the Driver Cleaner software removed the lines in the registry as well.
Did you try the FX4000 in the other system (the one that had the MX 440) ?
I believe you are taking to right steps in resolving this issue.
Looking at the Windows Error Reporting, it seems you have had some app problems.
Looking forward in hearing your results
Best regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care.

OK I completed my tests and got some interesting results.
-I installed the GeForce Mx 440 on my computer and it yielded similar poor performance just like the Quadro did (terrible window scrolling, stuttering, horrible gaming).
-I then installed the Quadro on the computer I yanked the Geforce MX 440 from. I installed the most recent drivers, and it worked WONDERFULLY. There was no stuttering, no lagging, and Open GL gaming seemed even better than the MX 440 (I know the Quadro is not designed for gaming, but some Open GL counter-strike served as a nice little test.) Unfortunately, that computer does not have Adobe Premiere or any high-end applications for me to really test the card with.
-After those two tests, I uninstalled the MX 440 from my computer and re-installed its ORIGINAL ATI 9600 SE. It worked just like it did before I first received the Quadro. No window lagging, no stuttering, and adequate gaming.
All of these test yield a few conclusions to me:
1. The Quadro FX 4000 card is not defective, it does indeed work.
2. My computer seems to dislike Nvidia cards and/or drivers (seeing as the Quadro and GeForce gave me terrible results while the ATI worked fine.)
It would seem to be a driver issue, almost like my original ATI driver files are still running. That would explain everything. However, I completely removed the ATI driver AND ran Driver Cleaner to clear all ATI files from my system before attempting to install the Nvidia card.
I cannot think of a reason for these inconsistencies. Tomorrow I plan on preparing to completely crash my computer. Backup my files and completely format my HD's and reinstalled Windows XP Pro, my Mobo software, all drivers, ect.
I will await any ideas or suggestions before I format my computer. I hope these tests along with my system info helps. Thank you very much.
Customer (Pat Miller) 02/06/2007 07:51 PM
Ok,
Here is my system info. I realize that the Quadro FX 4000 has a conflicting IRQ with my onboard gigabyte ethernet, but my old ATI card was the same way, and it never caused a problem. Also, I am unsure how to fix that anyways. Hopefully this info helps us determine the problem.
I am going to try a few tests of my own. I am going to install a GeForce MX 440 AGP card(from my other computer) and see how it performs. Then I will try re-installing my old ATI 9600SE card. If I get similar low performance, than it must be something else besides the card. Otherwise, the card is the issue.
Thanks for the help.

Pat,
Maybe the system info will shed some light.
Please perform the following steps:
1) Click on the Start button
2) Select Run
3) In the Open field, type in "msinfo32" and then press the OK button
4) This will bring up the Microsoft System Information Utility.
Click on File and then Save to save this information to your hard drive. You may give it any name you choose.
5) Once the file has been saved on your hard drive, attach it to this support request so that we may review your system configuration.
Looking forward for your response.

I completely uninstalled my old ATI and Nvidia drivers. I went into safe mode and ran Driver Cleaner also. I freshly installed the new Nvidia driver and I still have low performance.
I am trying to download Viewperf, but it is downloading at about 30k/s, which will take about a day to finish. What else could be causing this? It is possible its a bad card? I got it new on Ebay from a legitimate seller, but it came with the card only.
Response (GL) 02/01/2007 06:00 PM
Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care
There should not be any performance drop browsing the internet or moving windows across screens.
Since you did have an ATI card installed, you may want to verify that all files have been removed.
This also includes the registry since there are applications known to leave files behind.
Once all ATI files have been removed, please run a benchmark software such as ViewPerf.
Viewperf 9.03 can be found on the following location:

I recently upgraded to a Quadro FX 4000. I do a lot of video editing on Premiere, and from what I read, it seemed like the best card to get. However, I am getting very poor performance with this card. For example, just browing the internet and moving windows around yields a very stuttery picture. And I do not notice any different using Premiere.
I uninstalled my old video card (ATI 9600 SE) and uninstalled the drivers for it as well.
I have tried 3 different versions of drivers for the Quadro 4000, including the most recent.
I have checked the power connections, and the card is receiving power on both the ports.
I really have no idea what could be causing this bad performance. Is this how the card works? Did my ATI 9600SE yield better performance for internet browsing than this card does? The only thing I can think of is that the card is not getting enough power because it connects to 2 seperate power cables from the PSU which already power lots of other things (HD's, Disk Drives, Fans).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Here at my system specs:

your PSU is good one and should be powerfull enough.
Output +3.3V@28A, +5V@30A, +12V@34A, [email protected], [email protected], +5VSB@2A
can't be power related, since at 1st your PSU must be enough, 2nd same issue happend with your old mx 440 VGA. card malfunction are dismissed as possibility as well since its work fine in another machine.
think its drivers mess. ATI drivers(or part of them) still exist, guess is not completely removed. same symptoms happend many times when switching between Ati to NV, lagging 2D scrolling lag and etc, caused by ATI Smart (part of ATI Drivers) sometimes remain(survive after driver cleaner).
suggest you a new clean fresh OS installation. like Nv support already directed. also ensure in BIOS, in "Integrated Peripherals", "Init Display First" are configured to AGP.
let we know how its going, if problem persist we a ready with a tips to resolve your issue.

Yes they do, for example the NIC drivers can be found here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php
HEY! I forgot Broadcom does release drivers for its wired controllers, but not its wireless product line. I've never had a wired BCM controller, only wireless, so my searches for drivers there have only turned up 'we don't provide drivers, check with the OEM'. Thanks.

I want to buy 2 MSI-478 Retention Modules for the K8T Master2-FAR

Where to buy P4-478 Retention Modules for the K8T Master2-FAR? I would like to have a Choice in heatsinks, I know that 478 clipon heatsinks may work, But Where do I buy the Retention Modules for this motherboard, Since real 478 Retention Modules are worthless when It concerns this K8T Master2-FAR motherboard(I bought one and It's in a really cheap and flimsy case), I ask as 603 heatsinks are mainly for servers and aren't too useful to Me, A new one that I've seen looks great, But It's passive, has 4 heatpipes, Is about 80x80mm in width and has no place for fans(bummer). I'd love to use the SP-94, But again It won't work as It is a bolt on 478 and as such It won't work, I'd also like to use a pair of Thermalright XP90(XP92?) heatsinks, But those may not fit as They use 92mm fans, So far the only heatsink that would be workable is the SLK-947U as It has the 478 Clips, I have one on one of My 2 other PCs(Nforce2 chipsets), 80mm fans would still be the max, But at least the heatsink would not be too bad. I just need the 2 retention modules with the 603 hole spacing that MSI made, On the other hand being the screws use a 3mm thread, I should be able to find those elsewhere, Somewhere. I just need one pair I might add. This is cause others have reported that Xeon water blocks do not fit(This was over on forums.2cpu.com).

Bump...
Actually since MSI had these Socket 478 Retention Modules custom made for this motherboard I may have to call MSI and ask, Since I was told a Xeon based Danger Den Maze4 Water block will not fit on this K8T Master2-FAR motherboard without the water block being modified slightly. And I suspect My motherboard was not New, It was I suspect in fact a Returned motherboard (a refunded purchase) and the reason I say this is cause the motherboard box (tab) was bent as It seems to have been inserted into the box a few times and the manual had one corner bent over slightly.

Hi everyone, few questions about the K8T Master2-FAR;

Hi,
Ive just registered with this forum and have been reading all the messages and find everything very interesting. I know you probably have all heard the same questions before and I am really sorry for asking them again but I just need to clear some things up in my head. Before I ask the question I just need use all to know that Im far from a computer expert so pretty please dont go into to much technical detail. This is actually the 1st computer I built myself. (Everyone I come accross in the desing world is G5 Mac this and G5 Mac that, so thought I would build a system that matching the G5). If you think something is to hard to myself I wont be offended:) Im actually at uni studying Media Design so use my machine for Dreamweaver, photoshop, flash, afterfx and some movie editing etc and some programming......
(Hope i havent bored everyone already)
My comp:-
K8T Master2-FAR
2x Opterons 242
2g ram(pretty decent memory i think!)
nVidia GFX5500 256mb
Maxtor sata 120g Hard Drive
My questions are:-
1) When I had finished building the comp I remember CoreCentre showing a reading of 3600 (the multiplier was sitting on 20 i think!!!) yet I can get nowhere near that now. The highest I can get is 1760, 220x8 mhz. Has anyone else experienced this?
2) If my processors are 1.6 ghz why is the lowest reading not 3600 mhz? This really confuses me and makes me believe that only 1 processor is doing its job. But I know that cant be it because at startup its states 2 cpu's and when I press ctr+alt+delete there are 2 cpu boxes. Is it a problem with corecentre?
3) Can i, and if so, where and how can i increase the multiplier? When I was installing something big(think is was final cut studio) the multiplier went upto x9 but that was it.
4) I think this is most important, I only have the BIOS version that came with instalation cd. I have ran LiveUpdate and doesnt show anything under the BIOS bitty. Where can I find out what bios version I have? Im quessing I have version 1.0 and from reading this forum for a week and working up enough courage to create my first post, I noticed people talking about version 1.4. the BIOS sound pretty important so can someone email me the newest version and a dummies guide to installing(if thats what its called lol) it. My home email is [email protected].
If anyone read this then thank you very much and if you reply I would be very gratefull.
Thanks again
liam

Hi,
You need to remove CoreCenter and install CoreCenterPro, those are different versions.
As for the multiplier, that can't be upped with Opterons and the current BIOS'ses won't even allow you to change it at all.
Maybe the upcomming 1.4 BIOS will change that, but I'm not sure as I didn't see the feature in BIOS 1.4B7.
Anyway, stay away from the 1.4x BIOS'ses at the moment, as most will render the board dead.
At the moment overclocking the Opterons on this board isn't possible.
I can't even do much with my FX-51 as the BIOS doesn't have those features.
It might change when MSI release the final 1.4 BIOS, but the latest beta still has many buggs.

Questions on a newly purchased K8T Master2 Far m/b

Hi,
I just purchased a K8T Master2 Far m/b at a local computer store for $89.99. They had two of them sitting on their markdown table. They where in turned inside out Asus K8N-DL m/b boxes. In other words, the box labels where on the inside. They could of been replaced w/the Asus's, though they appear to be brand new.
The K8T Master2 Far has the two HSF's, the HSF back plates, the external USB/Sound slot adapter, and the rear I/O back plate. It has no manual, CD, or cables. The manual and CD files can be downloaded, so that is no problem. I have plenty of cables lying around.
Some questions:
1. The manual says the m/b supports the Opteron 244 and up. Can I use a 240 or 242 on it? I also read to make sure to use Opterons which have the following last letters in their p/n's. ( AL, AU, AK, AT ) Any reason?
2. The two HSF's that came w/it are different from each other, as well as is their mountings. One is a direct screw on while the other is a plastic clamping. The m/b has the plastic mating clamp for it mounted on only one socket. The other socket is just a direct screw on. They both have the back plates. I think I read somewhere that MSI is/was shipping the K8T Master2 Far w/these two different HSF's for some reason. I also read that you can use Intel Xeon HSF's on this m/b. Should I replace the HSF's that came w/it or are they OK? Will the HSF's that come w/the retail Opterons also work?
3. The m/b is a rev. 1 model. What is the difference between the rev. 1 and rev. 2 m/b's?
4. What's the fastest Opteron cpu that can be used on this m/b? I read the X2's can't be used.
5. I noticed that MSI hasn't updated the BIOS in a long time. Any word on any future BIOS update or is the m/b totally dead in regards to any further support?
6. Finally any problems running Windows XP x64 on this m/b?
I plan to add the K8T Master2 Far to my DC (distributed computing) network.
Thx.

I use 2 Opterons 240 on it, no problem at all.
For the mounting of the coolers, read the manual.
BIOS 1.10 or 1.20 are the best versions to use.
MSI is working on a new BIOS as we speak, but it's not finished.
As for the revision, as far as I know it only comes in Ver1....
You are mixing the other board, that's the K8T-Master-2FAR7, but has a different MS-xxxx number and does support the Dual-core CPU's, but there are big problems with the board when using just 1 CPU, MSI is working on a better BIOS to fix 1 CPU support.
Win64 runs without problems at all.

Need RAID driver for k8t master2-far package didnt come with disk driver

I bought the K8T Master2-FAR and the VIA VT6420/VT8237 Disk Driver was not included. I'm trying to install WinXP64 but I need the raid driver before I can. I went to the download section of msi and select my board but the drivers are all 32bit when i tried to use them. There are several 64-bit drivers on the msi cd under Adaptec and LSI but not sure which one of these would work for me. Can someone show me where I can get the correct 64-bit raid driver for my board?
Thanks for your time.

Is WOL supported -- K8T Master2 FAR

Is WOL supported by K8T Master2 FAR? I let the PC go standby and attempted to access to this PC from other PC in the network but it appeared stayed in standby mode. I have never used WOL so maybe I am not doing it right. Could anyone help me?

I got this info from MSI, maybe it's the thing you need to get it working.

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R won't power-up

My MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R won't power up when I switch it on. All that happens is the fans "jolt" a few millimeters and that's it
Using an X-Pro 460w which does work as I have tested it on this PC
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think I have found out the problem
Using my old Enermax (350) I was able to boot up the AMD 64 2800 every time but the PSU made this weird electrical sound - I think because it was being overloaded (I think as it doesn't make this sound when used with my XP 1800). I then reverted back to my new X-Pro (460w) and after a few attempts I managed to get the ram module and CPU powered... slowly adding more fans it became harder to boot and eventually the GPU fan wouldn't run once I plugged another fan in... I'm guessing this is because my PSU is too weak to power the juice guzzling AMD
I'll need to break the bank once again I suppose

I have tried few ver. of drivers(include the newest one)
Does anyone can tell me how to fix this issue?
My system spec.:
Dual AMD Opteron 246
MSI K8N Master2 FAR
2x Kingston 512MB DDR400 ECC+REG
Colorful 7800GTX
4x Hitachi 120GB 8M
OCZ Powersteam 520W Power Supply Unit
Has Been switched to Non-SLi mode.
I have one question for you. The motherboard has three power connectors. A 24 pin , a 8 pin and a 4 pin. Looking at your specs i see that you have the OCZ Powersteam 520W Power Supply Unit. I looked at a review of this PSU and it has the following connectors for this: 20+4 connector and a 4+4 connector. So the 24 pin and the 8 pin connectors are covered. All the pci-e connectors i see are 6 pins, also for this PSU. What did you do with the 4 pin connector close to the pci-e slot?

MSI K8T Master2-FAR won't boot!!
