MSI KT6 Delta LSR and Radeon 9600 XT 256mb x8 AGP Problem

hi,
Ive just brought a Radeon 9600 XT 256mb and it wont run at x8 agp at all, games lockup as soon as i start them, within 5 mins all text on display corrupts and i get a message saying the gpu recover has set the gpu to default settings.
I cant change anything in BIOS to set it to x4 agp as its not selectable and says AUTO only for agp speed setting.
Only way to alter is goto smartgart in ATI drivers and select x 4 agp if u get in before text corrupts :(
Ive managed to get it stable at x4 agp now through smartgart.
BUT it says on box and in manual this motherboard supports agp x8 but why dont it run it ???
i havent a clue whats up with it.

hi,
Ive got it running stable in x4 agp and found a post on ATI website about some motherboards not working proberly at x8 agp with Radeon 9600 series graphics cards.
http://mirror.ati.com/support/infobase/4219.html
Got nice scores in 3dmark 2001 and 3dmark 2003
But what confuses me is Quake 3 demo that didnt change at all over my old card and radeon 9000 pro i tried once too.
I got
174fps with Radeon 9100
175fps with Radeon 9000 pro
173fps with Radeon 9600 XT 256mb
Thats on Athlon xp 1700
strange or what ?
oh well its a old demo anyway but main thing is big increase in 3dmark 2001 by over 2000 marks

MSI KT6 Delta LSR SATA to PATA High CPU Usage Problem

Well recently I've switch to my one of my other motherboards on my network to a MSI KT6 Delta LSR, it was working fine after a reformat, but I notice a few problems and that is 100% cpu usage for SATA to PATA, and vice versa, which seems really crazy. Then my network card performance is ISDN speed sluggish, and I tested my line to be working 100% with another mobo. But when I put another NIC on the same mobo it suffers the same speed problems.
Any suggestions? The rig is specs:
Barton 2500+
Antec QuietPower 350W
200GB Seagate SATA HDD
40GB Seagate PATA HDD
ATI Radeon 7500 AIW
Audigy 2 Value
Realtek 8139 NIC
MSI KT6 Delta LSR Mobo
2x512 MB PC 2700 RAM
Pioneer 107D DVD Writer
LG 16X DVD-ROM
56K Modem (A-open)

Shouldn't say what I don't know about SATA, but since I found below, I need ask if VIA 4in1 drivers are installed, preferably while in SafeMode I say:
http://www.google.se/search?q=cache:X6ewgPiIHYcJ:www.qdi.nl/cgi-bin/bbs/YaBB.pl%3Fboard%3DP4I865%3Baction%3Ddisplay%3Bnum%3D1074174096+sata+to+pata+cpu+usage&hl=sv
I recently installed 160g Seagate barracuda 7200.7 drive on SATA port. (I enabled the Bios using Auto) I have a P4I865pea-6al mother board, with two PATA drives . When copying files between the PATA drives on ide ports, to or from, the SATA drive, I notice the CPU usage goes up to 100%, but when copying files from one ide drive (the PATA drives) to another the CPU usage is very low.
Is there a bios setting that will allow me to copy files from the SATA drive to the Pata drives using a small amount of CPU power, found when just copying between the Primary and Secondary IDE drives? I am using Adobe premiere pro, which uses a lot of CPU power, and the high CPU usage of the SATA drive crashes this program? Any help would be appreciated

Msi kt6 delta lsr temp problem?

i have just installed a msi kt6 delta lsr , but when i have ran the system a while the sys temp is around 40-42 c and the cpu temp is around 52c .
on my old mobo the temps never went above 35c for the cpu and 25c for the sys temp .
my specs for old mobo etc =
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+
jetway v400db (kt400 chipset)
400w psu
ata133 80gb hd (maxtor)
512 ddr333
geforce fx5800 ultra
windows me (but same in win xp pro)
2 fans blowing air into case and 2 sucking air out
does anybody know a way to improve the temps please

Yippee! A ME user, like me! You know I guess MS support for W98 and ME has been prolonged til 2006? It has partly to do with Linux.
The temperature for the CPU is a little high, but not alarmingly so. Barton gets a little bit hotter on these boards, and I think it is the placing belovw the PSU that is the cause. The system temperature for you is no problem.
To get the warmth away from the CPU I suggest a fan placed in the case door/side, that sucks it out.
Perhaps you have not got such a case door? Then I suggest a quiet 80 mm fan on the back of the case as high as possible, again sucking air out in order to make a nice air flow. Another suggestion is to tie away cabling to the sides of the case as much as possible, power cables, IDE cables etc.

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

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.

Kt6 delta lsr and corsair twinx xms3200xl

i just recently bought corsairs twinx 3200xl ram and i have it running perfectly stable on my o/c'd 2500+ barton (now at 3200 speed). my problem is that in the bios the ras pulse width cannot be set to lower than 6, so is there any way i can set it to 5 which is the default for the xl ram, or a bios update that allows this?
thanks in advance!

I also would like to set mine to 5 but I can't
Also missing in the BIOS
3 ram settings
Row cycle time
Refresh row cycle time
Row active delay
It would be good to be able modify these settings.

MSI KT6 Delta and xp2600(333) cpu clock

I am new to this so thanks in advance to everyone. This may not be a pure overclocking issue but it seemed like a good active forum.
Just put together a kt6 delta lsr and xp2600(thoroughbred B 333 fsb machine). The 2600 according to AMD(and everything else I have seen) should be clock speed of 166 x 12.5 as the multiplier...so up to 2.088 GHz. The BIOS on this board doesn't separate the 12.5 from the 13(I hope there are others out there that have had this) as it is 12.5/13.
Now when I install and do the BIOS stuff if I pick the 'auto' selection I get BSOD with some cryptic error code. If I manually pick the 12.5/13 multiplier it doesn't work either. I have managed to get 163,164, 165 'auto' or 12.5/13 at times but it is not stable. Sisandra didn't like it at all.
I am currently settling for 166 or 167 x12 as this has been extremely stable and functional(3-4 hour video compressions have worked great). If I go any higher to 168-170 I have had some issues and not totally stable(not as bad as the 12.5/13 mulitplier I used with 163,164 etc).
Now since the 'manual' multiplier is 12.5/13 together does this mean by choosing 'auto' it uses the same one, it seems like it so hence it may be trying to push the 13 at which point the RAM or something may be causing errors. ??? ( just some thoughts as I attempt to reason)
Almost all my components are new except for the harddrives but can't imagine that has anything to do with it all. So basically I have a good cpu but can't utilize it to the fullest and have to 'overclock' just to get to where it should be operating. I can't seem to approach that either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. If there are settings/setup that I forgot please just ask.
Thanks.

Thanks.
My temperatures seem fine. Low 40's. Even after 4-5 hours of video compression with the 167 x12 that I am using I only hit 43 or so.
I do wonder if anyone else out there as they same set up in terms of the same xp2600-333 chip and this motherboard. That choice of multipliers still seems odd. I think I may have mentioned it but does the 'auto' use just 'select' from the choice of multiples that we can pick manually? Unless it creates its own multiple that must be the problem. Can it oscillate between the 12.5 and 13 and hence just screw things up?
Thanks.

Problems installing windows on 36.7GB raptor on KT6 Delta-LSR

I've been trying to get this damn thing to work for a few days and then someone told me about the forum here at MSI. So far I've been reading different threads now for a total of approx. 3-4 hours and I don't think I've come across someone with my exact problem unless I've overlooked it. I've had two 40GB drives for a couple of years now and I decided that I'll upgrade to a WD 36.7 GB raptor. I thought all would be good until I popped it in and tried to install windows on it. I boot off the Win XP CD and press F6 to instal the SATA drivers. It accepts the drivers on the floppy, recognizes the drive and reformats and continues until, right after the format it says, "The disk or CD may be damaged......blah blah blah." I don't know if this is referring to my HDD, but it seemed like it was referring to my floppy b/c when I press enter to continue, it asks me to insert the floppy again, and then it reads the floppy and gives the same error. I've been trying to get this to work for the past few days now, and I think I tried almost everything. I disconnected all other optical drives and HDD's except for the Raptor and my dvd writer and still same prob. I tried d/l new sata drivers from MSI and still same problem. I changed where I plugged the sata into (since there were two ports) and still same thing. I wanted to update my bios (v5.5) but the readme file said not to flash from a floppy. I don't have another drive to flash from, so I don't know what to do about that. Please anybody help!!! My system spec are below...
MSI KT6 DELTA-LSR
AMD 3000
1.5 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9200
WD 36.7 RAPTOR
Samsung 40GB 7200rpm
LG CD writer
LG DVD writer
Enermax 300W
SB Audigy
D-Link wireless network adapter
....I think that's about it.
When I tried installing last the CDRW and Samsung drive were disconnected....

Hello,
I would like to comment on the 1.5Gb of ram.
Please use 1 stick and try again.
Also I hope you are not mixing modules of different make/spec/size.
1GB + 512MB
512MB + 512MB + 512MB <this one is good if thry are all the same make/model/revision
256MB + 256MB + 1GB
You can test the memory with this program.
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.51/memtest86+-1.51.floppy.zip
- Extract all the files to a folder, then run the install.bat.
- It will make a memtest bootdisk.
- Then you must boot from this disk, please test each module individually.
- If they are all fine then try your combo and see what happens.
- Test each module for 1hour, if you get any errors instantly then you can stop and change module.
Do not flash until you are sure that the memory is ok.
HOW TO FLASH BIOS
==============
Download this run it to make a boot disk.
http://www.nerdlabs.org/bootdisks/diskimages/wboot98se.exe
Then get a 2nd disk, copy everything in the BIOS zip to it.
Boot from the RAMDRIVE DISK, start computer without cdrom support.
once its all loaded, put in the 2nd disk.
type
copy a:\*.* c:
press enter
type
c:
press enter
type
adsfi709 a6590vms.570
press enter
it should flash the BIOS.
Then you must turn the PC off and clear the CMOS, (JBAT jumper).
Reconfigure all of your settings.

Problem with KT6 Delta-LSR

Hello
I bought MSI KT6 Delta-lsr today and haven't had it work yet.
Usually when I turn on the power only fans start to run and i get memory or processor error from d-bracket leds. Memory chips and processor should be ok since sometimes If I clear cmos and start pc, it seems to start fine and all leds are green but system will hang in winxp loading screen. Changing options in bios doesn't seem to do any good, usually boot after editing bios will cause again memory or processor error.
Any idea what is causing this problem?
Specs.
Amd TB 1ghz -> too old for this mobo?
256mb seitec ddr 333 (also tested Twinmos memory chips)
Msi kt6 delta-lsr
Msi gf4 ti 4200
harddrives, cd, cd-rw, the usual stuff...

Thank you for moving this topic to right forum.
I was wondering if those memory chips just doesn't work with my processor.
Could someone explain me this fsb and ddr speed stuff? Not sure if my tb runs
with fsb 100 or fsb 133. Or does those setting even matter for ddr rams?
Manual says that if I have cpu speed 100 and 333 ddr it's not supported but 133 and 333 should work. Still pc sometimes seem to start up but freezes soon. So to me it seems memory and proccessor works.

MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R Bundled stuff

Hi!
I Bougth a MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R, and expected some more bundled stuff. Does anyone know whats supposed to be bundled? I need to know if my supplier is ripping me off.
I'm missing the D and S bracket, and some cables( only got 2 sata cables and 2 ide cables, but that doesnt matter much as I got all the cables I need).
Trond

Hi Trond look at the side of your outer box find the white sticker it will list what accessories you should be getting. If you need the brackets you need to yell at MSI well not really you need to contact them by e-mail I wouldn't try phoning them you'll never get through. What MSI doesn't tell you up front is that even though the motherboard is a top of the line expensive sob the accessories are still optional so what you could get is a bundle worthy of the SR or LSR bone stock model. What you should get are the RED rounded cable(s), the SATA cables the power adapters are optional so I hope you can get ahold of some or have a drive with a legacy power plug. My box contained two manuals one for sata one for the board, two floppies, the standard issue MSI driver cd, I/O bracket, cheapo black rounded cable, and the firewire bracket nothin' else when I first opened the box I was looking all over at all the nooks, and cranies for the other stuff, but alas it wasn't there. So long story short to determin what you get you have to look at that white sticker.

DDR400 freezing on KT6 Delta-LSR ?

I usually run 2 x sticks of 512MB Kingston DDR400, and have never had a problem.
I've removed them to test a 1GB stick of Kingston DDR400, but it won't work at 'full speed'.
I'm guessing the RAM is fine, as it was working perfectly in the system I pulled it from.
XP freezes (after about 5-10 mins) when I run the RAM at 400MHz, but seems to be ok at 333MHz.
> Tested RAM in all slots, still freezes
> Booted into Windows Memory Diagnostic - no errors
> Booted into Memtest86 - no errors (didn't let it run long though)
> Ran HCI Memtest from XP, and it froze as soon as the test started. But will run fine at 333MHz.
I ordered another 1GB stick a few days ago (to have 2GB total). Have I wasted my money? Will I have to run my DDR400 RAM at 333Mz?
Any suggestions?

I tried disabling spread spectrum, froze again.
Bugger it. I'll just stick with 333. I'll be getting another one (DDR400) in the mail in a few days, so I'll test that (by itself) and see if it can run at 400. Not that it will be much use even if it can.
I was going to buy 2 sticks of 333 anyway, but the 400s are cheaper. So I guess even if I'm stuck at 333, I've still saved a few dollars.
Nearly time to retire the Delta-LSR I think....

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+

New MSI KT6 Delta - No Post

Hey everyone.....
I don't know if you guys remember but my last posts were largely about how much I hate computers....well the feeling is getting stronger.
I just got a new used MSI KT6 Delta mb and I hooked everything up but when I turn it on it just starts the fans and nothing else.
I can test the cpu and psu pretty easy 2marrow....but Im pretty sure this mb is good...unless the guy lied, and the reason I got this one is cause my last computer(old mb) would just sit at 39 minutes once it reached the graphical part of the xp install (and Im definite the cd was perfect)...so I'd assume everything else was working except my old mb......so......was I wrong...could have been something else
could it be something else this time?
I've reset the bios (which are supposely updated), I've tried my other graphics card and I'm out of ideas....
Im in a rush but I wanted to get some ideas asap.
I figure it can't be any other hardware besides my mb or gc but incase
I've got in it now - 128mb of generic PC2100
1800 XP Athlon
and my ti4400
nothing else....I also just got some cheap powersupply so maybe its causing the problems but I don't have any money....
Thanks for the help

RAM for KT6 Delta-LSR

I'm currently running 2 x 512MB of DDR400 in my old KT6 Delta-LSR, and I want to upgrade to a total of either 2GB or 3GB.
Since this motherboard can only handle 2 slots of DDR400, I guess I'll be throwing out my existing ram, and starting from scratch.
I've just looked on the Kingston site, and they say that the KT6 Delta-LSR can only handle 1GB of DDR400.
So I can't simply buy 2 x 1GB sticks of DDR400? Is this right?

Maximum Memory: 1 GB using 400MHz DDR modules
http://tinyurl.com/yl74qbe
Should I just play it safe and get 2 x 1GB DDR333, leaving me the option of filling all 3 slots in the future?

If you're only running at 333ddr you may be able to run 3GB. But pc3200 will run at either 333 or 400, so you may as well get pc3200 and downclock it.
The board may not like 400ddr with all slots filled. I would get a matched 2x1GB kit, preferably low latency but not essential and just fill the outer slots. The kit may come in useful on an Nforce2, Nforce3 or similar higher performance platform although it's all getting a bit dated now.

MSI K72N Delta LSR - windows XP keeps stop codes and serious errors Puzzled why

hi,
System specs
AMD sempron 2400
512mb DDR PC3200 ( 2 x 256nb Matrix module brand memory written on chips )
MSI K7N2 Delta LSR ( lastest Bios )
Onboard sound - Enabled
Onboard lan - Disabled
Liteon DVD Rom
CD-RW 52x
ATI Radeon 9550 ( installed at moment )
before was a Nvidia FX5700 LE took back faulty as tried radeon 9800 pro and was ok for a couple hours
got Nvidia FX 5500 - faulty fan making noise on boot.
Ive built a System up and its been running fine for a few months and then 1 day system crashed and got windows recovered from serious error and and wound't shut down but only restart.
Replaced memory that was in and checked with mem99 and said it was faults so replaced memory and shutdown problem vanished.
Few days later windows xp started saying recovered from serious error again with stop codes
0x0000050
Bccode 10000050
Bccode 1000008e
Bccode 1000000a
Stop Code D1
They was the stop codes been getting since, some said Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, IRQL_not_less or Equal
Im puzzled what the problem can be know, even tried reformatting and reinstalling windows twice and not solved it, tried a another cdrom drive and still same.
Im puzzled what the problem can be.

Temps are fine running about 45'c in windows and max about 52'c when in full load ive got motherboard monitor on all time monitering temps and also recording and save out log file when turned off for temps.
Its a retail boxed AMD Sempron which i dont think much to the stock heatsink and fan ( Athlon 64bit ones are loads better copper base and heat compound instead of sticky pad )
The new memory is only think is got whats wrote on the memory modules is called Matrix, I know from past experience's when u reinstall windows and files cant copy across ok and keeps saying cant read file etc or cant copy file during installation thats indication bad memory strip, ive even got a memory thats fault ( i only use for testing and diagnostic ) as 1 of the memory modules comes up fault in memtest96 and even tried that and still same, thats how i found out in first place memory was causing system not to shutdown properly.
What i can try is my memory as ive got 1.5gig in Elixir branded and i know thats ok 100% with nforce 2 boards as i had a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and ran elixir memory with np, before i got a Gigabyte KT880 board.
Antivirus ive got running on system at the moment is AVG and always used it all time, it dont use any cpu usage and also saved my system loads from virus as it caught them as they tried to run and stop them, something norton's dont seem to do very well.
I give modem a try on a USB hub but its strange when u unplug USB its ok and NTL recommends when modem stops working to unplug power from back modem and leave it a while and it comes back on, done this in past successfully but this time its blue screening, Which could be part of windows main files are corrupted. The USB Modem is running of its own PSU so shound't be using USB power at all, if it was that explain blue screen when taking power off as it do it when taking usb out.
Error codes ive watched a Microsoft web broadcast ( over a hour long ) about error codes and 40% of them are software + hardware related combined they make it sound so easy to diagnose them but in reality unless u know windows 100% its hard to.
Harddrive seems to copy files ok across and back, i have to try another Harddrive and see but from past experiences when Harddrives are about to fail windows seems to stall, lockup and also just stop responding when accessing certain programs or files.
Its a confusing 1 as u solve 1 piece of puzzle another comes up and throws u off track again.
Looking that all parts ive replaced so far have solved 1 or another problem to only reveal another hidden, PC's who have them lol
If i solve it i post my finding np it keep me busy for a couple days testing things, u learn something new every day with pc's new faults and problems and how to solve them, try too lol
And most of time its compatibility problems but odd times hardware or software.
