MSI KT4 Ultra-FISR MS-6590 Won\'t Boot-Up

Ok I just install my new system today. I took my time and did everything right. So when I started my system up, it came on for about 5 seconds then shut off. I spent endless hours trying figure out the problem but to no avail. Then I came here and read other people's problem to help me out. I already read the trouble shooting guide but none of that helped. Here are my system specs.
duron 1.3
256MB ddr 2100
inddo gf4 440se
16x dvd
40/16/48 cd burner
2 20 gig harddrives
350 psu
my dc is 3.3v
my max combine is 175
I know it's not a power issue beacuse I unplugged everything but the cpu and on harddrive, and I still get the same problem. Even if I just have the cpu, it will not boot up. Please help!!!! ;(

at least 200 with a gf4,you might get away with a tiny bit as only a duron,but 185 is the least we say for a normal system
if 14a 3.3 like last guy no hope at all

    Hi,
    I have the same issues with my KT4 Ultra (pure version).
    Running GF4 Ti4400, Athlon XP2400+ etc, 450W power etc. There are quite many posts of similar issues all over the Via Arena forums and some here as well. KT4 Ultra's and KT4V's seem to be the boards affected.
    Installing the Via USB Filter Patch helped with narrowing down the number of crashes and some of the errors.
    (note: disable automatic restart from 'Startup and Recovery settings' to see the driver that crashes)
    Link to Via Arena FTP site
    I had a K7T266pro2-RU board before this which worked 100% stable. I've tested all my components which are fine. Tested different power supplies, memory. Still, continuous random errors after many times of reinstalling Win2K by the book and with default bios settings.
    Sometimes the setup works fine for a week and then starts to mess around again.
    Looks like setting the cpu fsb down to 128 MHz from 133 MHz solves the issues, so try that and report back.
    Also check the filter patch.
    I'm personally waiting for the next bios release to fix these issues - if not, I'm showing this board RMA and go to nForce2 chipset.
    I also tested the 1.25 beta bios, which gave me lots of crashes during Win2K boot -> flashed back to v1.10 and booting works again.

    Thanks in advance.   -RjA

    I can help a little  1000MHZ AMD chip=200FSB XP CPUs=266FSB this is CPU speed . AMD 1000MHZ CPU needs to run @100FSB where a XP CPU can run @133FSB This is MEMORY speed . Trying to crank that poor old chip up to anything other than 100 will do you NO good. You need to buy a bigger cpu of the XP kind. A lot of the older XPs can be had for a low price. 50c isn't not super hot. My KT4 runs in the 40s. You might want to think about a bigger cpu cooler to bring the temps down a bit. Most of your settings should be left at system default, since you only have a 1000MHZ CPU. When you go up to an XP then you can make a few changes. Regards BIGDADDY51 :D  :D

  • Upgrading to a MSI kt4-ultra FISR board.....

    Currently I've got a gigabyte motherboard and I want to upgrade to an: MSI kt4-ultra FISR board. Can I just pull my old board out and install the MSI board with all my old hardware, O/S already on harddrive -  and do a start up, or will I run into errors and problems when I try this? Currently my system looks like this:
    1)  Case: "Xaser SC5000BWII"  400watt mid-tower case        
    2)  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7DXR DDR+Raid
    3)  CPU Chip:   AMD Athon XP 1800 1.6Ghz
    4)  Memory:  512 of  PC2100 DDR266 Memory                  
    5)  AudioCard:  Creative SoundBlaster Audigy MP3 card
    6)  VideoCard:  ATI RADEON 9000pro, 128 DDR
    7)  Hard Drive:  Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM ATA-133 "D740X" Mdl:6L080J4
    8) Operating System:  Ms Windows XP Pro
              Thanks for the help........ seboyd ?(  :D  8)

    A clean install will give you 30 days to reactivate and it only takes a 5 minute call to get the new #s. Pretty simple and much easier than trying to straighten out all the error codes from old O S. I did however move an XP harddrive from a Turbo2 to a KT4 without a new install but they were both MSI boards. A clean install also gets rid of all the junk that accumulates. Just enter bios and make the CD rom 1 st boot . BIGDADDY51 CT. USA  :D  8)  :D

  • Serial ATA on MSI KT4 Ultra FISR??

    Hello
    Just a general query here about Serial ATA on the 6590 board (KT4 Ultra FISR).
    I am hoping to build a system with this board and was hoping to start with only one HD, preferably an 80Gb Serial ATA drive.  Does the promise raid controller on this board allow you to boot on a single serial ATA drive?
    P.S.  I was also hoping to add a Radeon 9700 card (not pro) but have read about many problems within this forum.  Does anyone know if the problems have been cleared?
    Thanks
     ?(

    Well, my idea was to buy a Serial ATA drive from the outset and use it as the only HD in the system.  Therefore, it would have to start on the serial ATA raid port.
    The only other boot option I can see which may be relevant is "Legacy SCSI".  Doesn't sound right though.  There are also a lot of BBS (BIOS boot specification) choices from 0 to 9 but I dont know what they are.
    There are about 25 boot options including from USB CDROM drives but nothing specific to RAID!

  • KT4 Ultra-FISR (MS-6590) release date?

    I have been checking with my supplier for about 3 months on the release of this board.
    But to no avail still isn’t stock. Does anyone know when it might be released in Canada?

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Radeon 9700pro

    OK, I upgraded my MB from the k7t266pro to an Kt4 Ultra.  I also upgraded to an AMD xp 2500+ and new DDR 333 ram.  My video card is the ati 9700pro.  This card functioned just fine with my old board as I never crashed.
    Since I have upgraded I have not been able to play any 3d games!!  all the games start and are playable for 2-5 mins then it just completely freezes my system.  i cannot even do an end task and have to hit the reset button to restart the PC.
    I am running Winxp home edition and am fully patched.  I have also upgraded the bios and installed every new driver from the live update utility.  i have the latest drivers available from ATI as well.  
    what gives here?  I have searched Google and various other sites and i have run across many many threads with people having identical problems with this board and video card.  my thought is that it is not the video card, as it ran flawlessly on my old MSI board.  i do PC support and system admin for a living and 99% of the time I can resolve PC problems on my own, however, I am at a loss with this one.  I have been a loyal MSI customer as this is the 4th MB i have bought from you guys over the years, but i can't help feeling disappointed right now.  any ideas?  This stinks as I was so looking forward to the upgrade in performance and now i got jack.

    I took the advice of some of you and got a Antec 430w TruePower PS to replace my old one.  Still no good.  I was a little skeptical about the new PS thing since I run a pretty minimal configuration.

    As you can see, pretty sparse.  I soley use this box as a gaming type PC, so I try and keep the load light.  At this point I think I would like the board replaced.  Like I said, the 9700pro worked like a champ on my k7t266 pro, I doubt it is the new AMD CPU... so that leaves just the memory or the board at this point.  I mean, driver wise I am using the same drivers as those that do not have problems.  I am going to buy some high-end memory to eliminate that issue, but I highly doubt that will make the difference.  I hope I'm wrong though.
    Oh, BTW the option to change the AGP slot back to 4x is locked out for some reason.  That kinda pisses me off too.  I mean, at least give me the option to bring it back down to 4x.

  • KT4 ULtra FISR - HD install probs

    okay - I have just built my new system -
    Athlon XP 2400+
    MSI KT4 Ultra FISR
    512MB Samsung DDR400 (MSI Approved)
    ATI Radeon 7500
    Hercules Digifire 7.1
    Seadate Barracuda 80GB
    Pioneer DVD-RW 104
    Liteon CD-RW 20x
    My problem is - that the HD is new, formatted - when I make the Pioneer the 1st boot device, winXP starts to install - however after it puts the initial set of files onto the HD - it has to restart - and when it does I get this msg:
    "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
    Please check the windows documentation about hardware......."
    I initially tried it with a 120GB Maxtor drive and got the same msg. Nothing is wrong with either drive - because they are both brand new, and properly formatted.
    I am not using the RAID option I just want to have two HD's connected to IDE1 as master/slave.
    When I go into the BIOS - in the boot options my CD drives and HD shows in the correct order. So if it can see my HD in the BIOS - why can't I boot up and complete the installation?
    Do I have to disable something in the BIOS - there is a RIAD controller check just after the BIOS splash screen and then it goes onto say that the no drivers were found - so then it carries on with all the other checks and then stops with the above error message.
    Somebody please tell me how I can get it to locate my HD and complete the installation of the OS?
    Thank you

    sorry i guess i wasn't that clear - my optical drives are on IDE2 - IDE1 only has my Seagate HD - only when this is up and running will i add the maxtor as a slave to IDE1
    so still looking for that solution

    Bye...!
    Excuseme for my english I'm Italian and speak so so the language...

    Okay, I assume the new 1.4 bios they are working on will address this problem? Or perhaps not? This problem as I see has been discovered last year, yet how many bios updates were released since? None of them remidying this situation.
    The KT4 Ultra FISR is a really nice mainboard, but the lack of support and/or broken LAN controller really makes it look bad.
    Flashing the bios and clearing the cmos simply wont work. This shouldnt be necessary when the LAN just dissapears on its own without any cause. If it isnt a bios bug, then its clearly a board flaw.
    Is that why this problem has been covered up quite well? If there hasent been a bios fix, then i would guess that it is a flaw that is still not being publicly made by MSI themselves.
    If theres a known fault with a product, i expect to be known about it. This problem has shown up enough to be a known flaw.
    No, checking the winblows "device manager/tackler" wont show it, clearing the cmos wont show it, flashing the bios 10000 times wont make it show either. The device doesnt even exist on the mainboards pci table, its gone, not there, poof, kapoot, vanished.

    Hello?? Anybody home? Think Mcfly think!
    edit:
    Yes the IEEE1394 and RAID controller isnt there, thats because it is disabled in the bios, and can be reenabled just as easily, unlike the Broadcom LAN controller, that isnt even there to enable anyways.

  • KT4-Ultra FISR no longer supported?

    Thanks.

    You will find the KT4 Ultra in the archives section here:- http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=356 The bios, driver and manual links can be found on the left of your screen.

  • KT4 Ultra FISR

    Hey, I am new to these forums. Thought I would drop by and see if I can get some help with a new mobo I had just purchased.
    I just purchased an MSI KT4 Ultra FISR. AMD 3200+ Capatible and allows for 400mhz memory to be placed.
    I am going to purchase an AMD XP3200 Barton chip soon and would like to use the new type of memory. Either XP2700 (2x512mb @ 333mhz) or XP3200 (1x512 @400mhz). Ok... now for my question. I have been to MSI homepage and read the specs on this specific motherboard. It states that I can only use 1 stick of XP3200 (400mhz type) memory at 2 channels. Does anyone have this board and ever tried running it with XP3200 (2x512 @ 400mhz) totalling 1Ghz @ 400mhz?
    Also will the XP3200+ operate with XP2700 memory running at 333mhz? Dumb question. I know.
    Ya... if anyone has any suggestions as what I can do to mod this board feel free to let me know.
    Another note... while looking through the product line MSI does not show it is carrying the KT4 Ultra FISR anymore.. Any reason as to why or is it now calld by another name?

  • No Sound with KT4 Ultra - FISR -- HELP!

    hey
    I got a KT4 Ultra - FISR along with and XP 2400 and other goodies for christmas. I put the machine together and installed 98se, and all of the included drivers the came on the MSI Utilities disk. Everything was working perfectly with it (got 11752 on 3dmark 2001, is that a decent score?) anyways everything was cool except the on-board c-media sound was not working at all.  ?(  I have 2 speakers w/ sub and i have them plugged into the line out spot in the mobo. I have turned the sound on in my BIOS and messed with all the sound settings in windows and still i get no sound at all. I even unplugged the bracket that came with it for surround because i saw it could possibly cause some problems. I then checked all my connections and still no sound.  X( I was woundering if there are any other settings or jumpers that i need to set for my sound to work. Any additional information on how to get my sound to work would be greately appreciated. My system specs are below. Thankz
