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.

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 - 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.

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

HELP - MSI KT6 Delta-LSR

hi,
i have this motherboard: msi kt3 ultra2, and now im buying a new one, for use with my barton 2500+.
i prefer MSI KT6 Delta-LSR, but i dont know if can i change the multiplie like in Abit NF7-S (MaxFID™ Technology).
can i do this on MSI KT6 Delta-LSR ?
remember: in actual motherboard i can change the cpu ratio only to 12.5
i need to select what ratio i want. like 15x, 16x...
thanks and sorry for the english.

a its a via board not an nforce
b why change it if you want multipliers like that ,only reason to change is to run 200 fsb and you only get yto do that with lower multipliers

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?)

Gaps while playing AC3 Sound through SPDIF on KT6-Delta FISR

Hi everybody,
I'm one of those lucky guys with a KT6-Delta FISR Board :D equipped with the C-Media 9739A OnBoard Soundchip and a S-Bracket from my old K7T266 Pro2 ( MS-6380 ) mainboard.
It works great. The only problem is, when I try to play
AC3-encoded Sound directly through SPDIF there are irregular gaps ( length = about half a second ) where no signal reaches my hifi system. Playing normal PCM-encoded Sound works fine, just AC3 is the problem.
I have the latest driver, the latest bios, the latest chipset driver from via & the latest Windows XP Prof. updates. :]
I also tried different AC3 Filters ( from WinFast DVD, PowerDVD and the free ac3filter ) and a fresh WinXP Prof. installation. But nothing worked.
Always these stupid gaps. ;(
The mysterious thing is: With my old MB and an extra pci soundcard with C-Media CMI8378 Chipset and optical SPDIF it works great.
Yeah, I know I could use the old one, but the KT6 OnBoard chip has some benefits :]
Some information about my system:
- Athlon XP1800@1800(133x11,5) ( Palomino Core )
- Cooling: Copper Silent 2 TC by Arctic Cooling
- Enermax power supply ( +3,3V/35A, +5V/44A, +12V/15A)
- NVidia GeForce TI4600 from Leadtek ( i forgot: latest driver )
- Western Digital WD1200JB HDD (120GB,7200 RPM,8MB Cache )
- RAM: 256 MB PC2100, CL2 by Apacer
- Home-theatre system: Sony STR-KSL5 ( dts,dolby digital/pro logic II, digital cinema sound, 2x optical digital input, 1x coaxial digital input )
- Connection between PC and hifi system: optical
Has anyone the same problem or maybe a solution or a suggestion ? Would be nice then, when he or she posts it here )

A little mistake: The S-Bracket is from the KT4 Ultra FISR - Board ( MS-6590 ), sorry for that
@osnavi:
I don't know whether it's okay or not. I just thought, the S-Bracket is just a cable extension of the onboard pin-connector ( means: there are no necessary parts in it - except the current-optical coverter for optical out - and the whole functionality is on the board ).
Have you any idea, whether there's another S-Bracket for the KT6 series ?
@maesus:
I've tested all latest available drivers ( both from www.cmedia.com.tw and from MSI via LiveUpdate3 ). All of them produced this gap.
Both drivers where tested with Coax out and Optical out.
I also tried to increase the PCI Latency in BIOS to give the sound chip more time for using the bus and therefore more time to transfer data. It didn't work, too.
I will now try the following:
- decreasing the FSB to 100 MHz ( just an idea , maybe it helps )
- installing a generic ac'97 audio driver (in case something like this exists )
- well, bang my head on my hifi system
Any suggestions are still welcomed )

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

KT6 Delta FISR + BIOS 5.6 + SATA

Beware of this combination - I had problem to pass booting of PC I had to downgrade to BIOS 5.5 again and everything is all right now...
AthlonXP 3200+, KT6 Delta-FISR, 256MB RAM, HD Seagate ST380013 AS etc.

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 & 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?

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?

It says PATA enabled, SATA disabled.
By the way, everything is up and running.
The problem turned out to be the TDK CD-ROM which wouldn't read the WinXP CD.
Switched to my Plextor and "voila" I'm in business
The AOpen power works just fine and gives plenty of juice.
Now the FSB runs at 133Mhz and the system shows my Athlon XP 2400+ processor correct.

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.

I keep getting some strange BSOD. No matter what I do with the machine. Windows locks up completely and after about 1min, that BSOD comes and machine boots.
( http://www.saniainen.com/bs.jpg )
In normal usage, it comes about 1-3 times/day.
Mostly it comes when I copy some files from disk to other.
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.
