MSI KT3 Ultra2 Raid+TBird 1400 = No Post

Got a replacement Kt3Ultra2 Raid (MS-6380E v1.0), and I plugged it with:
1. Nvidia TNT2 Vanta AGP video card
2. 128M Crucial DDR2100 Ram
3. Boxed SocketA TBird 1400 (Not XP. Listed as compatible...)
4. D-Bracket
When I turn the system on, No Bios Signon; the D-Bracket is stuck at 4 leds (CPU not functional). Holding the power switch for 4 seconds *does* turn the thing off...
The CPU & Ram work in a NForce M/B I bought at the same time ?(
Anyone have a hint before I swear off MSI MBs?
(Err... well the MSI NForce one is working great... but it only has 1 slot and no raid )

Is there a way to find out what boards can do that?
I have:
Nvidia Vanta TNT-2
Nvidia GForce2Mx
ATI Rage3D Pro
I also have (somewhere) a PCI Canopus Riva128 board.
What should I try/buy (I'm running out of cash for this expedition as well...)?
Even if its a low-performance GFX card, I mainly want to make sure this replacement is good before the 15 day return policy is up 8o ...
I'm also thinking about getting an XP processor, but I'll have yet another AMD CPU sitting on the shelf if I do that...
TIA,
Thor Johnson

MSI KT3 ULTRA2-C and AGP compatibility

Hi, I'm just about to buy a new motherboard these days, MSI KT3 ULTRA2-C, with an XP 2000/2000+ and memory, but not a new video card, since i can't afford it right now. I only have an AGP Creative 3D Blaster Banshee 16 MB, but it is a 3.3v agp card (AGP 1.0). I was wondering if this motherboard can support it, i checked in a lot of places, including the manual and it doesn't say anything about the voltage it can take, neither if the AGP slot is universal or not (i.e. if it can support both 1.5/3.3v or only 1.5v). The manual for the KT3V specifically says '4x 1.5v only', but this one just says 'AGP 2.0 1x/2x/4x'. I really need to know this since otherwise i'd have to wait two months to afford another video card. I also checked another post here with an answer to a page with AGP explanation, but it didn't help. Thanks you very much, really

One AGP slot
- AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) specification compliant
- Supports AGP 2.0 1x/2x/4x
so whats the problem,your fine there

MSI KT3 Ultra2-BR

Geachte heer, mevrouw,
Jullie hebben in de beginpagina staan dat er een new release is (in juli) van de MSI KT3 Ultra2.
Deze is echter in drie versies verkrijgbaar.
De versies Ultra2 en Ultra2-R zijn al te koop.
Wanneer komt de Ultra2-BR te koop te staan en waar kan ik hem als eerste bestellen. Ik zit er al een paar weken op te wachten.
Ik hoop dat jullie me spoedig mogelijk antwoord kunnen geven.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Ramon

Hi,
Sorry I don't understand.... :( What language is that?
Let me guess, are you asking for different versions of motherboard model for KT3 Ultra 2 ? Ultra2-BR comes with Bluetooth transceiver and key, while Ultra2-R doesn't have Bluetooth bundled and Ultra2 doesn't have RAID either....
:D :D :D I feel like shooting in the dark.... :D :D :D

yes, if you buy a SATA2 add-in controller card, then you can use it with SATA2 drives

MSI KT3 Ultra2 uses VT8235 with KT333

MSI KT3 Ultra2 uses VT8235 with KT333. Can this be possible and what North/South Bridge Link is used?
VIA site illustrated VT8233(A) with KT333 and VT8235 with olny P4X400. ?(

The standard KT333 southbridge on MSI's KT333 boards is a VT8233A, which already supports ATA-133. USB 2.0 in the southbridge is the real difference. Hope it works as well as the NEC chip, which is rock solid with my USB stuff. Love it.

MSI KT3 ULTRA2-R NO WORK WITH XP 22OO

I have the MSI KT3 ULTRA2-R with the latest bios. MSI states clearly on ther web site that this board will work up to a xp2800. Can anyone tell me why this board will not boot up with anything above an XP2000.
The only thing I can think of is the core volt. this chip needs 1.65 but in the bios it only goes as low as 1.725.
I dont know how MSI can say up to XP2800 ?
Thanks for any info that might help me from jumping of the nearest bridge.

my only thought if it boots a 1700 or the like is lack of power,the vcore is dependant on the cpu installed
or the coolers not up to it

My MSI KT3-ULTRA2 doesn't work with my CPU cooler!!

My MSI KT3-ULTRA2 doesn't work with my CPU cooler!!
I've got an MSI KT3-ULTRA2 mainbord, and I have a NEOLEC VENEZIA TB Cooler. But when I attach my NEOLEC cooler and I start the machine, the machine shuts down within a couple of seconds, and I get nothing to see on my screen. The weird thing is when I turn the PC on, the cooler starts rotating so it can't be broke, but then the pc shuts down i a couple of secs. So pleezze anybody help me!!
The weird thing is that I also have a coolermaster cooler, and that one works fine. But the problem is that this coolermaster is designed for AMD XP 1900+, and I ahve an AMD XP 2200+ that's why I bought the Neolec Venezia TB cooler.

one easy thing to watch for... see if the heatsink or fan is in contact with any part of the motherboard, like... if it is too big and touches something that normally wouldn't be in contact with a fan or heatsink. If so, it could be shorting it.

!! Help !! MSI KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E) No BIOS Prompt!!

Hi Guys, this may be really elementary to you folks, but I want to change the boot order in bios, so that my Acronis True Image boot disc will be recognized, but when I start my machine, there is NO message about pressing ANYTHING to enter into bios. I've tried delete and esc anyway, to no avail, and I'm about to restart and try F2, but the screens flash past pretty quick, but not too quickly to see that there is NO prompt to enter BIOS at all..... is that expected, problematic??
Can I download a driver or something that will make the "press [ ] to enter setup" or "press [ ] to enter BIOS" prompt appear?
Failing that, is there anyway to force the system into BIOS without a prompt??
My motherboard is MSI KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E) and the chipset is VIA VT8367 Apollo KT333, if that helps. I believe that should be all you need to help me out, but tell me if you need anything else, since I have Everest and can probably tell you anything.

Are you using a PS/2 or USB keyboard? If USB try a PS/2 KB. Have you tried rapidly pressing 'Delete' right after power on? By that I mean don't immediately hold it down but press & release multiple times.
Good tip about the ps/2 keyboard, not that I've tried it yet, but I will tomorrow after I get my hands on one, and I'll let you know. Thanks for the tip..... but I wonder, shouldn't it at least TELL me that there exists an option to go into BIOS? Even if it doesn't there must be some way in I guess, so I'll try this tomorrow. Thanks again.....

How can I flash the bios of a MSI kt3 ultra2 without a floppy drive?

How can I flash the bios of a MSI kt3 ultra2 without a floppy drive?
I used the msi live update software to download the bios update programe...when I run it gives 2 options dos and windows
but the windows option is greyed out and the dos option requires a floppy drive (mine does not work)..what can I do?

I can tell you what you need to do but unfortunately - not how to do all of it.
You will need to make a bootable CD with the neccessary files on it .- Somewhere on the www you should be able to find the instructions. I have flashed from a CD with no problems on a K7S5A board . The CD image was available as a complete download and just needed burning to the CD so - apart from the obvious ( BIOS file , BIOS installer ,command.com,msdos .sys, io.sys)I don't know what else might be needed on the CD- unfortunately the disk I made is long gone.
I'm sure a search will find what you need to know.
Once you have the disk -just insert in CD Drive - restart and follow the instructions.
