[nForce] K7N2 Delta 2

I just bouth an MSI K7N2 Delta2. I put in a Sempron 2400+. I could get to the bios screen, but not boot because my harddrive was formated on an older Athlon board with a different chipset. At the time I did not know this. . .
A friend said that I need to set the FSB to 400MHz instead of 333. It ran for 10 seconds and it will not run anymore. No video, no beeps, no nothing. I have taken everyting out, tried to just POST with the CPU, then just CPU and video, etc. Still nothing.
Is it possible to fry a motherboard for 10 seconds of 400Mhz

look in your other topic where i have answered, it is probably your PSU that has gone.
you can ask more than one question in a topic if they are related, it keeps things tidy and stops confusing everyone when they have to look in different threads to find info

[nForce] K7N2 Delta 2 LSR boot/power up issues

I installed the K7N2 Delta LSR mb with an Athlon XP socket A 3000+ cpu. The computer turns on but won't boot. Nothing appears on the monitor screen and there are no beeps. The harddrive spins, the board has power but nothing happens. When I put my old mother board back (MSI K7T Pro266A) in with the Athlon 2000+, everything works fine.
Maxtor 60 gb harddrive
512 MB SD pc2100 SD Ram
Abit 128 mb Radeon 9200SE Video card
Any suggestions?

A few things to check:
Do you have any unused stand offs in the case touching the motherboard
The XP3000 CPU is a barton core and comes in two variants, a 333FSB and a 400FSB version. Your RAM is PC2100 which with an Nforce chipset is a recipie for problems. The NForce chipset is picky about RAM and PC2100 running on a PC2700/PC3200 processor FSB probably won't work.
Also post your PSU max amps, as a +12V rail below 16A could cause problems.
Do you have a D-Bracket connected ? This is the PCI insert with 4 leds on ?

[nforce] K7N2 Delta, having massive lock-ups / random reboots.

Hi all, it's been a while since I last needed your wisdom. Anyway, a couple of days ago my machine began to randomly reboot on me, so I went about trying to figure out what is causing the problem. I've cycled out my PSU, my drives, changed BIOS settings, so on and so forth, and it's still happening. System Specs follow:
MSI K7N2 Delta Mobo
Athlon 2800+ Processor
512 x 2 Kingston ValuRAM PC3200
Generic PSU : 3.3v : 28a, 5v: 30a
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 5950 Ultra 256 MB
Seagate 200GB 7200 RPM Hard drive
Lite-on DVD/CDRW Combo burner
Any ideas? I've been dismantling this thing and rebuilding it over and over for about a week now, and nothing has changed. I get the reboots all the time, graphic-intensive and not. I've even had the machine freeze up in the BIOS menu before. Help me please!!!

Alright, thanks a lot guys for all your help!
Hi there..
I'm not sure if you have fixed the problem or not.....but i have the same board and my pc reboot maybe one or two times a day...
and i'm sure it is my Ram, and i also use 2x512mb Kingston Value pc3200
i have tried with 2x512mb crucial pc3200 from my other pc and then there is no problem...
ps. I haven't been writing in english for a long time.

USB Prob. MSI Nforce K7n2 Delta-IL part# 6729

hello people,
first of all what the hell is the K7n2 Delta-IL part# 6729???
it seems that my dealer gave an oem product. is this right?
i cant find that motherboard on the msi site at all.
second: i am not able to install usb since there is no usb driver on the cd which came with the board. there is only a english version but i need the german version.
i installed msi live monitor and updatet the latest nvidia driver version with no luck. i am downloaded the driver from the nvidia site with no luck.
so i guess the usb is from a 3. party company and i just need to know what it is.
i find this really really strange especialy i bought 6 boards!!!
please help
thanx alot

[nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR? is my computer specs outta date as today? or should I build a..

IS MY COMPUTER OUT OF DATE?(MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) (hint: look at my signature), and if it is can someone make me a good list of things to get to make a new GOOD custom computer? motherboard etc,,, for a gaming pc under 500 US dollars?

Outdated for what? What pushes you for an update? Your system will work fine for most things for a couple of years still. I'd remove that extra 128 MB stick though.
The newest games is relying heavily on the graphics card. I don't know that processor, but that will cope with today's games for sure.

[nForce] K7N2 delta ilsr doesnt post

I am using this mother board with ati radeon 9000 for 2 years. Today i bought a new msi rx9550 video card

i put on the old radeon 9000 and i booted without any problem
new 9550 works fine on another computer with old psu
any suggestions ?

no signal no post
fans spins hdd and power light are ok
i tried it with a good psu today no way it doenst post
i also updated the mobos bios with modded bios version which i found in this forum
i tried with asus and sapphire 9550 cards and no boot again
but it boots with radeon 9000
i also tried a cooler master psu with 18A 12v rail but nope
it does not post with any radeon 9550 cards
i removed all psu connections to hdd dvd ect and only let mobos connection
no boot again
in the bios agp voltages seems to be shift between 1.5 1.6 and 1.7
no 0.8 for agp 8x
might it be a problem?
I am realy disappointed with this mobo
i bought it 2 years ago because i tought this mobo can be used for long years

[nForce] K7N2 Delta-ILSR ...did i kill my motherboard??????

ok i have K7N2 Delta-ILSR and i moving my computer from my bedroom to my basment because of construction and when i went to plug my computer into my apc powerbar the plug didnt go all the way in the socket and then a flash of electricty, when seeing this i wasn't sure what to think so i went ahead and pluged it into the powerbar socket next to it, then when i hit power button on my computer it gets power but wont post and the D-Bracket that came with my board that has diagnostic LEDs is saying " Memory Detection Test " i tried changing my stick of ram(Samsung PC3200 512mb DDR400) from all the slots and the same results then i tried a stick of corsair ram and the same results. I also tried clearing cmos, and having my settings on safe mode.
Specs - Thermaltake Xaser III 480w, eVGA 6800 128mb, athlon xp 2800+ 333mhz, samsung pc3200 400mhz cas 3

Do you have a different power supply you can test?
You did unplug the power supply before clearing the CMOS right?
Have you checked the stickies? Especially this one? https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=64248.0

[nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR - Do i have to have raid with sata drive

Hi guys,
Probably a really stupid question, but here goes
My machine has 1 ide HDD and 1 SATA HDD.
The SATA drive is set up as raid0 and is purely used as a data disk. The OS(win xp pro sp1) is on the IDE drive
The only way i could get the SATA HDD recognised by windows, was to set up a raid array with just the 1 disk.
Pretty useless raid array i know.
Did i have to do this or is there a way to have the sata hdd usable without having to set up a raid array
Thanks

you have to do it for the controller to work
but it has no effect on the drive
you can move a regular drive on ide 3 back to a normal ide and its all fine

[nForce] K7N2 Delta Upgrade Possibilities

I think I fried the AGP slot on my K7N2 Delta-L mobo and was looking to upgrade to a new board, perhaps the Delta 2 Platinum. Would there be any conflicts with using my old peripherals/modules from the old mobo if I upgraded? Here is what I currently have installed:
Athlon XP 2700+ 333FSB
Nvidia 6600
2X 512 Corsair XMS2700 CL2
Soundblaster Live Platinum w/LiveDrive
Oh and if you can think of any way of troubleshooting my old board that would definitely be appreciated. (Swapped out video cards and still no signal going to the monitor. Swapped monitor and cables as well and still no picture.)

There were a couple things that were awry. I was going to swap a fan in my case and it was daisey-chained off the supply that also went to my video card. I am almost positive that my PC was unplugged when doing this. I unplugged the fan and then booted back up. Windows came up but all of the graphics were a shade of blue. I quickly shut down and checked everything and it appeared that my VGA line was not secured properly(I had recently moved my PC). Resecured it and replug the fan and received no signal to the monitor. I swapped out my video card with my old one and still no signal. Attached my PC to a different monitor and cable and again no signal.
Any ideas? I will check the d-bracket when I get home from work today and see if it is reporting anything unusual.

[nForce] K7N2 delta-l + Corsair 2*256 3200c2 = cl2.5 ?????

Hi!
My english is not perfect .
I have a problem, could anyone help me please?
I have a mobo: k7n2 delta-l, and a bought 2 pairs of Corsair 256 3200c2 ram, whis came with cl2.
But CL2 don't work in my mobo. CL2.5 works.
My friend told me, i have to set ddram voltage to 2.8, but my mobo's highest value is 2.7 .
What should i set in bios?
Any ideas? THX.

There isn't any freezes @ 200 MHz. I tried it with prime95, before i bought the 2 Corsair Rams with two 333mhz rams. And by CL2,5 ( with Corsairs ) there isn't any freezes too.
My friend told me, ( he had Corsairs in Abit NF7 (nforce2) and he had no problems with 5-3-3-2 @ 2,8V ), i have to set the memory voltage to 2,8V. But my mobo's max. voltage is 2,7.
Is there a big difference between 6-3-3-2 and 6-3-3-2,5 ?

[nForce] K7N2 Delta-L Memory change

I have just purchased 1Gb PC3200 400fsb Ram. Now it is installed my PC keeps crashing. Ive noticed that it says in the description that nforce 2 does not support x4 memory for 1GB. Is x4 memory single banked 4 memory chip sticks as this is what I have purchased and am wondering if this is the problem?. If I replace this memory with my old PC2700 1GB double banked memory will this cause a problem for my Athlon 3200 to run at 400MHz? Can I mix the ram to give me 1.5 Gb (2x single bank 400 and 1 x double bank 512Mb)

According to this site: Memnotes (haha, the dude's name is Robert Hanco_ck and the last 4 letters get bleeped). Oh well...
"Some memory modules (usually cheaper ones) use a x4 configuration. This is where there are only 4 data bits coming out of each chip on the module instead of the usual 8 or 16 bits. This means that 16 memory chips will be required to make up the required 64 bits coming out of the module. Note that because a module has 16 chips on it, it is NOT necessarily x4, because it could be x8 and be double-sided (effectively two modules in one). However, if a module has less than 16 chips on it, it cannot be x4. These x4 modules are apparently NOT compatible with Intel chipsets, which all Dell machines use. They only work on other chipsets like VIA's. If you have a module with 16 chips on it, the only way to tell whether it is x4 is by checking the specs for it. Usually, x4 memory is found in the form of cheaper or generic memory."
I doubt you have x4 memory (unless you do have 16 memory chips on it. Most DIMMs I see have 8 (4 on each side). I bet you need to set your timings and voltage manually. I've never had to do this, as I always use Corsair RAM, and it reports correctly via SPD in BIOS.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta@ LSR stability problem

Okay gang...here's the scoop. Recently purchased the K7N2 Delta2 LSR and equipped it with an AMD XP-2600 (locked), 2X512 Rosewill Dual-Channel sticks, plus Samsung 80gb HDD and ATI Radeon 9000pro AGP. Built the system with no hassle and clean installed Win XP Home. Just wanted to get the system up, so left BIOS setting where they were for a couple of days. Noticed that the processor was not being recognized, so checked the BIOS and realized FSB was set to 133 (processor at ~1500mhz). I changed the FSB to 166 with multiplier of 11.5 (which, I believe is correct for my 2600 Barton). Voltage is at 1.65v. Memory is at DIMM slots 1 & 3 (dual channel) and memory voltage is at 2.7v. (Timings at 2.5,3,3,7) After I made these changes to the BIOS and rebooted, Win XP ran checkdisk, and reported no errors. The problem now, is that graphics-intensive stuff (i.e., games) cause system to freeze after about five seconds. When the processor was underclocked, I didn't have this problem. I'm not interested in over-clocking... just want it to be stable at stock speeds. Other applications (Word, Excel, IE, Outlook Express) run fine. My ATI Radeon 9000pro is a 4X AGP card (I have 8X disabled in BIOS), and the voltage is at 1.5v. I don't think this is a PSU problem (400w), and only noticed the problems since changing the FSB to where it was supposed to have been all along. Am I missing something obvious?

Board runs best with fsb:dram at 1:1 Not sure what speed memory you have but needs to run at same speed as fsb, ie 166 Mhz =333 ddr.
I found bios b3 to work best for me. Give that a go.
Give make/model of psu with max amps to +3.3v, +5v and +12v. See my signature for example.
I found that with other bios I need high performance setting in cell menu at optimised, so check that.
Search on this forum for my username and keyword 'bios' for lots of other posts.
Good luck

[nForce] K7N2 Delta -ILSR Fan that read "MSI AGP 8x" broke.

My fan had made some noises throughout the week but it seemed when i turned the computer off and then back on it would stop I checked inside and it was working perfectly today it made a outrageously loud noise like it was about to blow up and sure enough it stopped working. If your not sure which fan it was, it was the fan located on the motherboard directly that was the smaller one with a purple label and words that were outlined in silver reading "MSI AGP 8X." Any help will be appreciated! Should I get a new motherboard? Is their away I can fix the fan? Can I buy a new fan?

[nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR 1gb kit problem

I recently changed my memory from two Kingmax 256mb memory modules to a Geil 1gb kit. I was surpwised to find out that my system wasn't stable anymore. It restarted after only a few minutes of playing NFS Most Wanted. I tried running Memtest86 and it found lots of errors. Same was with Prime95's torture test witch stopped after less than a minute. I blamed the memory modules cause my previos modules worked flawlessly in both tests. First i tried leaving on just one of the two geil memory modules. It worked just fine. I tried the other module and it worked also. But together it dosn't work even if i put them in sigle channel mode (first and second slot). I went and tried the kit in another dual channel machine. Tested with Memtest86 -- ok. I thought it was some kind of incompatibility between the board and the Geil memory modules so i tried another two 1gb memory kits (one from Gskill - 2 3 3 6 and one from Twinmos 2.5 3 3 8). They all gave me the same kind of errors in test #5 of Memtest86 exactly at the same time (when reaching 95% of the test). I'm beginning to think that the board doesn't support more than 512mb of ram even if the manual says 3gb max.
Can you help me, please?

Do you know of any problems I can get by running this high VDIMM for a long period of time? I woudn't whant to burn my kit for I intend to keep it when I upgrade my system. That will be when I can get a Athlon64 X2 and mobo (MSI or DFI Nforce4) at a resonable price (this means next year probably).
no.. you are nothink about worry.. its 100% safe. this memory can handle 3.1Vcore...(still working wihout any problems,got a 4 machines with same memory at 3.1V running at 24/7 for 4 mouths) without special cooling..
2.8V is nothink for that memory im glad that my BIOS solve your memory problem. and "CPU upgraide for free" : wrote: "I definently have your bios loaded but instead of 32 bit cpu XP3000 I have shown 64 bit 3000. Cheap upgrade!" 2hits with one

[nForce] K7N2 delta ILSR sensors settings

hi i installed speedfan and i was surprised how many sensors are activated on this board. i have 8 active temperature sensors. and my question: what means all this temperatures? in program there´s only chip name. can anybody help me? thank you

Hi!
Usually there is only two temp. sensors on a motherboard. One is for the CPU, and is integrated into it. The other is for the northbridge. BIOS can report voltages also, and some programs read that too. Some cases/cabinets also have separate sensors.
Why not tell us the list.

Nforce K7N2 delta-ILSR

What does the AGP clock Value do if I increase it above normal 66?
Sorry if this sound stupid but I'm not under standing how it works

and it will not increase the speed as your gfx card is agp8 and motherboard is agp8 capable too.
if it was agp2 or agp4 it could give alittle.
