MSI KT6 Delta-FISR - D-Link diags "Boot attempt" failing

Hi,
I need some inspiration for this problem.
My sister's machine has been running fine (ish) for about 5 months. The sound has been "playing up" recently, sounding like it's stuttering. Anyway, that's not why I'm here.
At the moment, the machine won't boot up at all. I had it booted up today, and it was working OK, then it froze (sister complained that it froze yesterday as well).
On reboot, all I'm getting is the Xtreme main screen, then nothing else. The D-Link diags are showing 1 RED, 2,3,4 green which is
"Boot Attempt- This will set low stack and boot via INT 19h". It does nothing else.
I can't get into the BIOS, not can I boot from floppy. Doesn't matter if the HD is connected or not, it still fails at the same point.
I've stripped the machine back to the basics, so only have 1 CD-ROM, 1 HD, 1 stick of ram, floppy drive, graphics card.
I've swapped the graphics card .. same problem.
dropped the ram from 2 to 1 stick and switched sockets ... same problem
Swapped the PSU .... same problem
Is the Motherboard knackered ?  Anyone got any more suggestions ??????
Thanks.

ailsa, try removing the heatsink and cleaning any accumulated dust and dirt. make sure the fan is spinning. then clean off the old thermal pad or paste, and apply a fresh thin layer to surface of CPU die (the metal bit in the middle)

  • MSI KT6 Delta FISR KT600 Wont Start Up

    Hi All I Have a MSI KT6 Delta FISR Motherboard With a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2.00GHZ In My Spare Pc and It Was Working Fine Last Week But When i Turned It On I Seen That My hard Drives Were Not Detected In The Bios Under Standard CMOS Settings So I Saved My Bios and Turned Off The Pc To Sort The Drives and When I went To Turn It Back On It Wouldnt Boot Back Up
    So I Tried Unplugging The Hard Drives Again and Still No Boot Tried My 1gb Ram From My Main pc and Still No Boot So I Setup The D-Bracket To See If That Could Find My Problem and It Says That My CPU Was Damaged or Not Installed Properly So i Took It Out and Put My AMD Barton 2500+ In and My 480watt Hiper PSU and It Said That CPU Was Damaged or Not Installed Properly So I Tried My 2400+ In My Other Motherboard What Is a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR nForce 2 Ultra 400 and It Worked Fine Both CPU's Did.

    Hi, I received the same message from the D-bracket, so mine wont boot never, If you get how it works from yours please explain what you did here, in order to get my board alive. Sorry, but I tried everything in the book with this mobo and nothing worked (KT6-LSR non delta version), and I feel that I can't help you out so much.

  • MSI KT6 Delta-FISR (MS-6590 v2.0) & XP3200+ Can't get 200MHz FSB

    Hi,
    Having searched for this common problem I have purchased a new PSU (Antec True Power 2 550w) so I don't think it is this. The memory is meant to be compatible according to the crucial site too.
    Basically I changed from an ASRock mobo (no 4 pin CPU power connector) to the KT6 to get onboard firewire. The same CPU had been working in the ASRock mobo at 200Mhz FSB with a SilentMaxx PSU (fanless +3.3v /28A, +5v/35A, +12v/16A). As I had moved the computer from the lounge to study I changed the PSU when I installed the KT6 to an Antec True 380SP (+3.3v /28A, +5v/35A, +12v/24A) to get a reduction in temperature.
    The system booted with a FSB of 100Mhz. So I changed in the BIOS FSB to 200Mhz and the system wouldn't get to the XP login page. I then tried steps up from 100Mhz and got to 120Mhz. After searching here I saw the PSU issue and so changed to the SilentMaxx. This would get past the login page at 200Mhz but would crash within 2 minutes.
    I then changed to an Advance PSIV-500-2 (+3.3v /30A, +5v/32A, +12v/16A). This would login at 200MHz and was stable until you did anything CPU intensive - 2 mins of divx encoding caused the crash.
    So now for the Antec True Power 2, it gets past the login screen but won't load the desktop. Starting at 100Mhz I can get to 125MHz, so I'm now worse than with the original Advance PSU.
    So, with the changes being seen whenever the PSU is changed the indications are that it is the PSU, but now with the new Antec True Power 2 550w I can't believe it is still that.
    Any ideas?

    Hi again.
    Well I've finally got around to doing the XP repair. The good news is that the system boots and stays up under normal usage at 200MHz. The bad news is that under stress (encoding video) it reboots with the following error:
    Error code 0000000a, parameter1 ffe00124, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000001, parameter4 804db848.
    I have searched the internet and can't find any mention of '804db848' or 'ffe00124'. So am now thinking the board may be bad?
    I have set my memory to CL3, with timings of 3-3-8 and voltage of 2.6v (as per manufacturer recommendations) and this memory did not cause problems on my ASRock board.
    Two things I have noticed:
    1. The case temp is very high, under idle CPU = 48C and case = 41C, under stress CPU = 58C and case = 51C. I have two 120mm case fans and the PSU has a 120mm fan too. My hard disks are 28C and 29C. When I had the ASRock board in the same case with the same fans etc it never went above 36C (which I thought was still quite high).
    2. After searching this board I found a post that stated they had success at 192MHz FSB but unstable on 200MHz (K7N board). I will now try this and kick off the video encoding again and report back.

    don't really need more power, the only thing I want, is USB2.0, Firewire400, optical audio output, onboard Raid and some more oc features
    Well, you'll like the KT6 Delta FIS2R for sure.
    Of all the mobo's ive studied, none have as many USB2 inputs on the back of the board where all the other ports are. This has 6 ready for direct use without any pci slot blocking dongles. (8 with the USB2/Diagnostic lights dongle installed).
    It sure has optical output, but the sound quality from it isnt as good as an Audigy.
    The promise controller is very good, letting you use 2 PATA and 2 SATA at the same time.
    Firewire use a pci slot blocking dongle but has 3 sockets (2 big and 1 small)
    As for OC, ive tried above 200mhz FSB (208 Mhz) but it was a little unstable, not sure why, never really tested it out.

  • KT6 Delta FISR gaming crashes

    I have been having problems for a few weeks now, with random unexplainable crashes whilst gaming, sometimes the PC just drops back to windows XP, other times the whole machine just resets and reloads and tells me that windows has recovered from a serious error (send, don't send error report) caused by a device driver, still other times I get a BSOD with varying messages:PFN_LIST CORRUPT, IRQL_LESS NOT EQUAL, and then there is the scrambled unreadable BSOD accompanied by a loud sound from the speakers followed by reset and error report.
    I must stress that this problem only occurs when gaming, Sim City 4 being its favourite victim, all other processes are unaffected, I can edit photos, surf and do all office work type apps.
    I have tried reinstalling windows XP several times using various methods described in other threads but to no avail

    o_0Received a new KT6 Delta at begining of Jan, everything was working fine, but lately the thing seems to be exhibiting exactly the same behaviour as the last one (as well as having the cold reboot thing).  These symptoms seem to be getting worse as time goes on, this is really unusual, normally if you have a hardware prob it doesn't come on over time, does it?
    This is really annoying all of my hardware ran fine when I put it back on my Abit AT7Max2, I did about 75 hours of gaming, and not a crash in sight.
    Has anyone got any more insights into this problem

  • MSI KT6 Delta wont boot

    My MSI KT6 Delta system no longer boots any further than the memory test? why? any ideas? any solutions other than replacing the motherboard etc.
    some background:
    motherboard: MSI KT6 Delta
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800
    Memory: 1Gb branded
    Graphics: Geforce FX 5200 AGP
    PSU: Antec TrueBlue 480
    Screen displays the memory test then a message relating to BIOS setup i.e. "Del: BIOS Setup" plus a new option i dont remember seeing previously namely "F10: Flash recovery" btw pressing 'del' doesn't help you cant get into the BIOS setup.  Having cleared the CMOS via JBAT1 i now just get the MSI Welcome screen.  If it helps the D-Bracket displays a red led top left.
    its all a bit odd really, everything was fine on Friday night, but come Saturday morning its all gone pear shaped.
    any help appreciate

    OK. Well, the procesor is where I'd start troubleshooting.
    Step one would be to unplug power cable and other cables on the back of the computer, wait a while ( you'll hear a faint zzipp  ), and then move JBAT jumper in order to clear CMOS. That will force you into BIOS.
    Eh, thought of something. BIOS will stop sometimes if it can't find a keyboard. And you say entering BIOS is impossible. Perhaps you have more than one problem? a) processor's BIOS settings are impossible, b) the keyboard hinders you from entering BIOS. However, the CMOS clearing should in either case be a good start.
    Your problem very much reminds of what happened to me and others while playing with CoreCenter. I know you didn't but can't help saying so.

  • KT6 Delta FISR + BIOS 5.6 + SATA

    Hello,
    Would MSI bring out a BIOS with defects?
    Its possible but they do test every BIOS carefully.
    When you flashed your KT6, did you reconfigure all your settings?
    enable PATA, SATA, boot from hard drive?
    memory settings, CPU settings?

  • KT6 Delta-FISR V2 fresh WinXP installation hang

    Hola
    I have recently bought a KT6-Delta FISR MoBo with a Athlon XP 2400+ and have encountered some problems.
    After the MoBo finally managed to recognize the HDD and CD-ROM i have tried to install WinXP Pro. After boting from CD-ROM the inspection of the hardware setup takes forever and when initializing windows setup it runs sloooooooow before the system hangs when loading the initial system files. (like kernel debugger etc.).
    When monitoring the temperatures in BIOS I get the impression that everythings nice and cool.
    The system recognizes my CPU as 1800+ and the DRAM at 266MHz.
    The PATA-IDE controller is enabled and the ATA-IDE disabled. (not using neither SATA nor RAID) i have tried to fiddle with the FSB and DRAM freq's but it crashed my system. Any suggestions to why my system wont get past Windows initial installation? To weak power? BIOS/hardware error/misconfig?
    By the way, what is Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet Boot Agent? Something which can/shoud be disabled?

  • Sata on the MSI-KT6 DELTA LSR

    Hello
    Can someone tell me if i can run 1 sata disc with windows XP and no ide hdd wil this work on my  MSI-KT6 DELTA LSR motherboard.
    Or do i need to do it in raid
    Greetz sjoerd

    It's possible.  There's one person who's had problems and there's others that say they can. The FAQ on the ASUS KT600 board says you can on XP (not sure about me or 98), so accroding to them the 8237 bridge should be able to. I'll paste the Asus steps which should be about the same.  You need to up date your bios to the one ending in .52 (for MSI).  Via has some newer drivers posted Sept 22nd ...maybe go with them at link below and follow the asus steps for 1 HD.  Post back if it works.  I'd use XP with SP1 incorporated.  I'm not saying the answer to your question is a definite "yes".
    ASUS FAQ site:
    I have only one HDD, but it's SATA HDD. Can I use it to install Windows XP on A7V600 without building RAID?
    Yes, you can install Windows XP with one SATA HDD on A7V600.
    Please first copy the driver from A7V600 support CD \Drivers\VIARAID\DriverDisk\SATA\*.* into root directory of floppy disk.
    (i.e. root directory of floppy disk should contain \pide and \sata folders, txtsetup.oem and vt6420 files.)
    Then, boot system by Windows XP installation CD, when the below message show up, press "F6".
    "Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver"
    Then, press "S" to specify additional device when next screen show up. Put the driver floppy disk you made and press enter to continue.
    (If the floppy disk is made successfully, the installation program will ask for selecting driver. Please then select "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows XP)".)
    After SATA driver loaded and Windows XP can recognize SATA HDD, you can continue to install Windows XP as usual.
    (If the driver is selected successfully, but the installation program cannot find your hard drive. Please check whether the hard drive is connected correctly both SATA cable and power cable.)
    Via has some new Sep 22nd drivers (you might try those) and in the notes it says it does JBOD along with RAID.

  • No DVD Sound - KT6 Delta FISR

    Hello,
    I'm in trouble with my motherboard KT6 Delta FISR : drivers are installed, configured, everything is ok, music is working, video CD also, but no sound if I try to run a DVD !?!? No mean to get sound on the analog output. Tried everything but cannot find the solution.
    I think it could be a problem with sound output, for example sound only going on the digital output SPDIF and not on the anallog, but I need help to change that !
    Can anyone help me please ?
    Thanks a lot
    Chris

    Hi,
    Yes I'm quite sure, it's not the first time I configure an MSI motherboard, settings are tu rear output, and configured for stereo speakers. Music, wav, VCD is working, only DVD has no sound. Is there a special setting, hided somewhere, that would be something like "disable analog output if digital sound present" ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    But it comes everytime when I try to decompress big (over 400mb) ZIP-files.
    Everything did work with my old board, MSI KT4A. The problems begun when i changed the motherboard and added the Seagate S-ATA hdd.
    I have ordered new memory, Kingston HyperX 512mb (333). Could it be memory-related or something with S-ATA ????
    I have tried everything, latest BIOS, latest VIA4in1, memchecks etc...

    I had the same problem on a differnt mobo and all I did to fix it was switch the IDE cables around on the devices.
    ?Give it a try?
    It may be a jumper you forgot to change on  the IDE devices.

  • Northbridge cooling on KT6 Delta-FISR

    KT6 delta FISR's have no active cooling, just a passive heatsink.
    how much is this going to affect my overclocking of the FSB? its at 182mhz right now, aint tried more but if i DID stick on a fan would this help the case? and roughly by what mhz?
    Also, since there is nothing to control the pci and agp busses, if i reached 200FSB, would this be really bad for the pci and agp bus? if not too bad, how bad on a scale of 1 to 10? and what's at risk? (or am i missing some options in the bios?)

  • MSI KT6-Delta-SR + Athlon 2400+ (266) Problem

    Hey Guys,
    I have a problem with the MSI KT6-Delta-SR and Athlon 2400+ (266).
    I've tried about 6 different boards and 6 different athlon 2400+ (266fsb) and what happens is randomly when you turn the computer on the processor is displayed as an athlon 2000+ or athlon 1700+ (using different ram and other components too).
    I check in bios and the fsb is still set to 133 (which should be correct for a 266fsb athlonXP).
    Running latest bios for the board (v. 5.5) and have tried previous bios revisions.  
    Anyone come across this? is this an incompatability with the KT6-Delta-SR  and 266fsb athlons?
    could it be a v.core issue? (what should the v.core b for athlon 2400+ (266)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Borjo jnc, aopen, gtr 350watt psu. it's not a psu problem.
    yes 2 problems.
    1. incorrect cpu recognition
    and  2. random restart before xp loads.
    after random restart cpu is recognised as either athlon 2000+ or athlon 1700+
    this occurs sometimes before detecting hard drive, but mainly when second bar of windows xp pro loads (running xp pro +sp1 Plus latest updates and drivers. and regardless of what bios revision i'm using.
    Tyco cpu id software says athlon2400+ and correct specs when booting properly. if i look at the top of the cpu is says athlon2400+

  • KT6 Delta FISR & AMD 2500+

    I have new MB KT6 Delta FISR and CPU Athlon 2500+ (1833 MHz) and I have problem.
    The combination is working nice. But in BIOS I can see FSB=100 only.
    And CPU is by Sandra identified as Athlon 1800+ Barton/Thorton on 1100 MHz.
    THe BIOS high power is FSB=133 and notice get damage warning.
    Then Sandra shows CPU 1900+ on 1435 MHz. I left it 133 and CPU temperature is about 62 deg.C.
    Because I didn't check the CPU identification I am afraid to increase FSB to 166MHz.
    The RAM Kingston 333 MHz is working on 200 MHz by SAndra.
    The second question is the temperature of MB. Sandra warns that 52 deg.C is too high. The VIA chip has no cooler even if on the picture in MSI pages there is one. But it is the picture of the FISR2 I think.
    Thank you for your advice.  
    Joe.

    I would recommend using CPUZ to identify the processor. Sandra (and most programs) will recognize the processor as 1800+ because it is operating at 1100 mhz (100FSB). When you increase the FSB to 166 you will see that your processor will be identified as a 2500+. IMPORTANT: When you increase the FSB to 166, leave the multiplier at AUTO.
    Another thing...I don't know if the processor operates at 85ºC but my 2500+ Barton operates when idle at 46ºC. You mentioned that when you increased the FSB to 133 you got a temperature of 62ºC. I think that is a little on the high side. Is your heatsink installed properly? Do you have good airflow inside the case?
