Need help w/ K7T Turbo2 and mobile Athlon 2600+/266

Hi.
I just bought a new Mobile Athlon 2600+/266 and can't quite get it to work right in my trusty Turbo2. It shows up during post as "Unknow CPU 800MHz", which is a little disappointing. (it is stable at this speed, though) My previous chip in this same board was an Athlon 1200/266 (A1200AMS3C), so everything worked at 133/266 before.
I've updated the BIOS to the most recent, checked that J17 is clear, stripped the box down to cpu + hd + 1 stick ram, and still no dice. All of my CMOS voltage/peripheral settings are at default.
The voltage/frequency menu in the BIOS correctly detects the chipset at 133MHz. When I tried to manually bump the freq multiplier to 15x, I actually saw a decrease in reported processor down to "Unknow CPU 733MHz". When I knocked it down to 14x, it dropped proportionally (to 667, I think). This makes me think that the freq multipler is correct at default, and that it's something else that's going wrong. I don't know what, though.
Is the problem that the chip is Mobile? My last guess is to try to up the voltage, but I didn't want to melt anything before checking with some experts.
I'm not looking for overclocking, just to get it running the 2.133 GHz that it was advertised at.
Thanks much,
-Clint
System specs:
Mobile AMD 2600+/266
K7T Turbo2 (latest BIOS)
ANTEC 350W model PP-352X
2x Micron 256MB PC133 (48lc32m4a2)

Does that board have a BIOS setting for FSB, as well as having the J17 jumper? I know a couple people with those boards, but never played in the BIOS to see. It sounds like it is actually trying to use 66MHz X 14, 15 or whatever Multiplier you are setting. Those Mobile chips are not Multi-locked like the normal CPUs are, and may be next to impossible to get set up on these older boards.

K7T Turbo2 and new Athlon 1700

Hello!
I have a K7T Turbo 2 motherboard with an AMD Duron 1200, which ran fine. I recently purchased AN AMD Athlon 1700+ so that I could take advantage of the 133 FSB on the board rather than the 100 FSB of the Duron.
The first thin I did was flash the Bios to version 3.4. I then removed the J17 jumper on the board to run at 133fsb. When I first restarted the computer, everything seemed to be fine. Then I started to receive an error message that stated “Pagefault_in_nonpaged_area” and had to reset. Sometimes I received the message after a full boot and others while booting and became more frequent. At one point I needed to reset the power supply because the reset was not working and I then received a boot error that told me that system files are missing or corrupt. I have had this problem before and had to reformat after a power failure reset my system.
Next I tried to reformat and reinstall Windows XP Pro and started having problems there. I am ready to start over and would like to ask for some advice or see if there is any known issues or conflicts with my setup. I also have Powerquest Drive Image and have an image from about a month ago. Do you think that it would be feasible to use it?
I am running an AMD Athlon 1700+ on a K7T Turbo2 with 768mbs Kingston PC133 Ram, 2 Maxtor 40g hard drives, 300 watt Allied PSU, Radeon 7200 32mbs Graphics card, 56k modem, Satellite internet.
Thank you,
Hank

I finnaly got the Athlon 1700 to work. It seems that my Cd Rom drive lens was dirty and I had the "crap in, crap out" syndrome. It was not the power supply nor the Ram, it was faukty software that was read by a CD Rom that I have not cleaned in 3 years...lol.....a recommendation, clean your components ofter.
I am yet to see the final outcome, but so far no crashes. I set up a dual boot, Win 98 and XP Pro machine now and seems to run great thus far.
I apprecate all of your help and input in this matter!

Please some one help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a motherboard and on the motherboard the text say MS-6330 V5 and all i can find on msi homepage is a K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 v5 so is my mobo a k7t turbo2 ???????
i am lost............ ?(
i flashed my bios at my own risk with the newest bios for k7t turbo2 and it works well as hell so my thought is that my ms-6330 v5 really are a k7t turbo2 am i right ??

Hmm, I think 'MS-6330 V5' is the same as 'MS-6330 v5'... :D
So go on and buy your new cpu.

revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working".

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working" and " you can only install one adobe product at a time please complete the other installation" Flash was working absolutely fine before, I have no idea why this happened.

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2400+

Hello everyone !
I have a question about K7T Turbo2 motherboard and BIOS update.
Here it goes: I reacently bought Athlon XP 2400+ and installed it on my mobo.
But after reboot my PCU wasn't recognised and I read on MSI website that I had to
upgrade my BIOS from 3.5 to 3.6 ( I think, don't remmeber the version ) . So I did that too
and this time bios showed my CPU as XP 1800+. I said there is something wrong with CPU or
they gave me a wrong one, but NO. After reading the manual I realised that that XP 2400 uses
266 insted of 100 ( standard that came with mobo )and that I had to remove J17 jumper to make it
work and also had to change options in BIOS --> like FBS 133 and multiplier 15 to get XP2400.
Reason that I'm expling what I did is to let you know what stuff I did before I came to this forum to
ask a Q. Anyway after all of that fuss PC works and shutdowns OK. But ( yeah there is a but ) now insted
of starting at once I need to press power button one time -> and you can here power starting and lights
showing but system not starting. Then I push and hold button for a few sec to shut it down. After
second push of power button system starts as normal. It looks like it need a bit of warm up ( like my car in winter time ) before it actuali start. Is this a BIOS error becouse it can't start the system with ONE
push of the button? Never had tha problem with Duron CPU and old BIOS. Need some help ..
Thanks

Hi!
I think I solved your problem! It seems that I had exactly the same problem and the same settings you have. Then, I read this Trouble Shooting Guide at:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=1131&sid=
which says:
"As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it."
So I changed the multiplier from BIOS from 15 to Default, and now it starts up great even at the first time! Even my CPU benchmark score with PCMark2002 free went up from 5195 to 6344 so now it actually works much better than with the multiplier 15!!
Try this before buying a new PSU and tell if it helps...
Regards,

K7T - Turbo2 and Athlon 2000+ problem

Sorry for my english...
K7T Turbo2 - BIOS 3.6. Problem with Athlon 2000+. I can´t set the multilplier to 12.5, because there is only 12 - 13 step. When i set it to "Default" POST show CPU correctly as Athlon 2000+, but pc can´t be rebooted by ctrl+alt+del. Must be switched off and then on...
Second thing is... it´s impossible to install win98 or xp - blue death.
With Duron 1.3 it´s working fine ...

Hi,
I don't think ECC memory is supported by the Turbo2, it states "NO support ECC Function" on the MSI info page, look here
So, I'm not sure that ECC bios function will help you, or what it is really there for.
But, I guess this opinion will not explain why you said it will work with an duron 1.3
Another thing is that the XP2000 uses more power than the duron 1.3, so your PSU sounds a bit weak for the XP2000 cpu;
PSU 300W
5V - 24A
12V - 10A
3.3V - 14A

K7t Turbo2 and an AMD Athlon XP 2600+

I recently flashed the BIOS on my K7t Turbo2 board to the 3.6 version which supports AMD Athlon XP processors up to 2600+. However, after I installed the new cpu, set the core voltage to 1.65, the multiplier to 11.5 and the DCM value to 166 the computer would not boot. Instead I received a simple "Beep" then two to three seconds later, another "Beep." This continues to no avail and it takes almost ten "hard reboots" which is killing my hard disks to even get back into the BIOS configuration, wherein I modified the DCM settings to 133 instead of 166. Now the computer boots but continues to tell me:
Unknown Processor at 1533mhz
When I did get it to run at 1910mhz (notice 1910, not 1917 as it should be), it also said Unknown Processor. Then, on one of the three ocassions I was actually able to boot the computer at the higher clock speed, none of my drives appeared. On the second ocassion, the Linux boot process froze and on the third, Windows XP wouldn't boot. Now, if anyone has any suggestions as to what BIOS settings I can try, or even resetting my BIOS to a previous version, then trying to reflash it, that would be great.... If, however, this is more of an issue with an MSI BIOS patch, please release another version that works. Thanks much!

Go with the Tbred 2400+ bud, Thats what i have at the mo in my KT3 Ultra 2C, and with my old MSI ti4200 with 128mb, it kept up with a K7N2 Delta ILSR which is running a Barton 2600+ and an MSI FX5600XT with 256mb (that rig only beats me on the extra test in 2001se and 2003 that the FX card covers).
Cant wait for my K7N2 Delta ILSR to arrive to go with my Ti4600.
Should happily blow the Barton rig away

K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2600 / 333 BIOS settings ?

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with this combo ?
I've tried to install the processor but I can't achieve 2600 Mhz...only 1600 Mhz !
Any ideas ?
---> MSI K7T Turbo2 (latest BIOS)
---> AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB 333 BOX
Jumper J17 (i think) is out.
Thanks,
m@ndr@ke

Unfortunately Bogdan2003 is right, your board only supports a 266MHz FSB. The XP 2600 doesn't run at 2600MHz, it comes in two flavours one runs at 2083MHz which is the 333FSB version and one at 2133MHz which is the 266FSB version, the later being the one your board will support.

Help needed with a KM4M-V and a Athlon XP 3000

Hi
i have just upgraded my PC and have fitted a KM4M-V motherboard and a Athlon xp 3000 cpu,the problem i have is it is only be recognised as a Athlon 1800 ,i have contacted the seller and he tells me i need to configure the FSB correctly to 10.5 X 200 ,i have gone into the bios and can change the Frequency clock to 200 but i cannot find the multiplier section so how do i change the multiplier ,if i reboot with the clock set at 200 the harddrive light stays on and nothing happens,I have set the jumpers on the motherboard to 166 mhz.
The pc was a Emachine 400 so do i need to upgared any other bits,the heatsink is cooper and fan is a coolermaster aero 7.

Does the speed of the memory make eny difference, mine is 133

XP2600/266 works great on my T2. To make sure of which FSB you have, check the last letter of the top line of info on the CPU. If C then its a 133/266 model, if D then its a 166/333 model.
Your meyory should be fine. Whats the specs on your power supply, and are you absolutely sure you have the heatsink mounted correctly?

K7t turbo2 and memory problems!!!

Hi guys. Need your help w/ this weird situation. I am plagued by hangups w/ my system. One of you told me that maybe my memory was bad so I bought a spanking new 256mb pc133 dimm SDRAM...and my comp still hangs. When I use both of my 256 it still hangs when windows is about to start. Strangely, I could use my comp. w/ my original 256 w/ just occasional hangups..but since last week it hangs everytime windows xp pro or win2000 pro starts. I see the stuff loading and my desktop icons and then wham!! it freezes. But here's the funny thing...when i use my old 64mb pc100 mem it works perfectly, except that it is extremely slower..BUT NO HANGUPS. Now I'v crossed off several suspects off my list 1) my 256 mem sticks aren't bad cause the brand new one does the same thing as the older one, so there's no static or anything 2) my power supply s/d be ok it's 350W and even when i unplug all my drives and leave just 1 hard drive it still hangs w/ the 256 or 512 (mixed). So i'm wondering if it's 1) some config in the bios i need to tweak...but like i said it used to work fairly well w/ the 1st 256 untill recently or 2) my cpu is an AMD athlon 1333, which gives me 1ghz and it can only run at a clock of 100. if i unjumper J17, it can't run at 133. So i'm wondering if it's because my mem sticks are running at 133 but the cpu is 100..it causes a prob and thus hangs; and my 64 mb mem stick is at 100mhz..so it's the same clock speed as my cpu. But if that was it..how comes I used to run the 256 pc 133 w/ this same cpu w/ just hangups occasionally ..but now I can't start windows any at all??? any ideas w/d be welcomed. Also, could u tell me a couple athlon xp that u know for sure run at 133 mhz clock speed, eg: can the xp 1700 run at that. I have an MSI K7T turbo2, 2 hard drives (10G & 30G) winxp and win200, both pro..and an amd athlkon 1333 (not xp) :O X(

What is the CAS latency rating of both your 256 stick ?
On the issue of running a pc133 ram in 100 it should work fine as u underclock the ram instead of over it.
I am using k7t turbo2 rev 5.0 with 133 enabled.

KT3Ultra and Mobile Athlon XP2400+ possible?

HELP!!!
I just purchased a mobile Athlon XP2400+ for use on my MSI KT3Ultra (via KT333)
and I would like to
A) Get it to work on my board
B) Overclock it
What type of settings should I use? I currently run an XP2100+ Polly stock. Can I leave the stock 1.73 (or 1.65 cant remember) voltage, and increase FSB to 166, ot what?
Am using Crucial PC3200 (512 MB), GF4 Ti 4200 128Meg........
HELP!!!

u prolly wont need this but look here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=38822&sid=
make a true sig, amps on psu, an mobile athlon probabley will work
as for overclocking "RESEARCH" its best to see what others have done, and what they have achieved, and how to go about doing it, look at the overclcoking guide at the top of the forum
