[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 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    IS MY COMPUTER OUT OF DATE?(MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) (hint: look at my signature),  and if it is can someone make me a good list of things to get to make a new GOOD custom computer?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    Outdated for what?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 installed it and power up but it didnt post
    no signal and no boot

  • [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.

  • K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

    Hi
    MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    Bios V1016
    Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
    AMD Athlon XP2800+
    2x512mb Crucial DDR
    1xSATA HDD
    Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
    I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's.  The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
    Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
    I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
    If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
    Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
    I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
    I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
    Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Noisy Northbridge fan

    Hi
    I'm having a problem with the nforce chipset fan on my K7N2 Delta-ILSR.
    It makes a horrible wailing sound when cold booting and is only running at about 2500rpm instead of 4000rpm.
    It does this usually for about 30 seconds then runs normally.
    Does it just need cleaning   or is it on it's way out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
      I had the same problem. All I did was loosened the left screw(when looking from the front of the case) until the noise stopped. Give it a try!!!

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Dead? Help!

    Hey all,
    Well, the other day I was on my computer playing a game when my mobo fan started making an odd noise (as if switching rpm), so I took off the side of my case and took a look inside. Everything seemed to be functioning properly, then I switched my cpu fan speed via the pci slot speed control. As I switched from High-Medium-Low, I noticed that the fan actually slowed to the point where I could see the blades spinning, at least for a second or so. I found that rather odd, seeing as how I've never seen a fan (especially a cpu fan) slow to the point that I could see the blades spin. Anyway, a couple of hours later, I shut down and went to sleep.
    The next day I had my comp on for about maybe 30mins to an hour or so when suddenly I heard an alarm from the computer speaker, so I was like, ":censored:?" since I had never heard it before. It was evidently the temperature warning, which I had set to 70C. So I shut down within 15 seconds and opened up the side of my case.
    I noticed that the cpu fan wasn't moving at all (usually I'd open the case in time to see the spin-down). So I turned the computer back on and the fan didn't budge, so I immediately powered down, assuming that the CPU Fan had died. Later on, I hooked the fan itself up to a free power cord in my sister's computer and booted up, along with the speed controller, flipping from medium to high to low without any problems.
    I then did screwed the fan back to the heatsink in my comp and booted up. I went into the bios an noticed that the rpm was 8k, which is way too high for my fan (normally 5k). So i began switching from high, medium, to low once again, then I saw that the rpm reader in the bios went to 0. So I looked back in the side of my case and saw that the cpu fan was once again dead. At this point I concluded that it was the fan and was about to order the Volcano 12.
    A day later I placed the fan inside my sister's computer on a free cord, yet again, and yet again, it worked fine.
    I once again put it in my computer to test and this time it worked fine, even while switching between speeds. Unfortunately, I then noticed that the mobo fan was not moving, then began to move.
    Well, I'm guessing now that it's simply the motherboard that has a short, since both the motherboard fan as well as the cpu fan have randomly been dying the past few days. The motherboard fan; however, has switched rpm many times in the past from 5k to 3k.
    It could also be a PSU problem, but I have Antec 400watt psu and it's been working fine for the past 2 years, so I doubt it. I've had the motherboard for a little over a year. I upgraded my cpu from 2200+ to 3000+ in July. That's also when I bought the cpu fan. The motherboard fan began fluctuating in rpm noticeably back in April or May of this year.
    Yesterday, I used the computer again and had it on for about 2 hours or so and I had speedfan monitoring the temps and the rpm. The temps stayed relatively stable: 48 cpu, 44 mobo.
    But alas, the RPMs were totally [blame me for the swear filter] up. At one point, both the mobo and cpu fan speeds were reading 0, even though both continued to spin within the case and the temps remained the same. Then after 30mins or so, they cpu fan began reading again at 40,000-42,000rpm, which is obviously incorrect, seeing as the fan is rated for around 5k. I got/get the same readings in the bios, both fans reading at 0rpm as they continue to physically spin.
    Also, during a number of times that I've started up the comp within the past few days, the motherboard northbridge fan wasn't spinning at all and didn't begin to until a few minutes into my windows session.
    Also, I took out the NB fan and noticed a slight crack in the back of it.
    I was considering simply just buying the Volcano 12 and the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum rather than RMAing the mobo. Then perhaps an Antec 550W psu, if necessary.
    Any ideas what I should replace and in which order? And has anybody else encountered any similar problems with this mobo (at least with the mobo rpm, which has been a prob for about 6months on and off)?
    I bought the mobo along with a 2200+ in July of 2003. I upgraded the ram from 256 to 512 in April 2004 (which is around the time I started hearing rpm probs with the mobo fan) and I upgraded the cpu in July of 2004
    Many Thanks!

    Could be a fluctuating PSU that's breaking down power to the MB. You have a whole lot of components dragging that PSU down. With what you have in your rig I would run either an Antec or Enermax 550W. Best way to be sure is to borrow a PSU or buy one from a store with a good return policy so that you can return it if indeed it turns out to be the MB. If I don't have your board here on my bench to test the only thing I can suggest to you is to swap out components unfortunately.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (MS-6570) BSOD problems grrr

    I recently purchased this board and although it is an awesome product, I'm having a problem with BSOD's when I play a game for a certain period of time
    Specs:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR  (7.6 BIOS)
    AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton
    512MB (2x256MB) Samsung PC-2700 DDR memory (2.5-3-3-6 1T)
    MSI 128MB GeForce4 Ti 4200 (4X AGP)
    NVIDIA nForce on-board sound
    Western Digital 80GB drive w/ 8MB cache
    MSI X48 CD/CD-RW/DVD combo drive
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    PSU:
    Turbolink 420watt (came with case)
    +3.3V is 28A
    +5V is 40A
    +12V is 18A
    So what happens is I get a STOP error during the game that shows the kmixer.sys driver as the culprit. Sometimes it's accompanied by PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA too. I read somewhere that kmixer.sys has to do with windows audio and that it's a 3rd party driver issue or a memory issue. I'm using the latest NVIDIA 3.13 nForce platform drivers. I ran Memtest lastnight for 12 hours straight and 0 errors. I'm thinking the memory may not be compatible with the board nor dual channel, is this possible? I have also tried several different drivers for both video and chipset including MSI's own and I still get the kmixer.sys BSOD when playing games. My previous motherboard was an MSI KT3 Ultra2-R (MS-6380E) which I had no issues with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    --Update--
    I just tried to play a game with audio disabled and it crashed this time with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with nv4_mini.sys as the problem. My IRQ table shows some sharing, but device manager shows no conflicts.

    Ok I tried running the DTM-CB3 module which is nForce2 approved at 3-4-4-11 2T timings and experienced the same result even at 2.6 and 2.7v. I tried both in dual-channel and same thing happened. However, I downloaded a program called Prime95 and ran the CPU torture test and the system returned a fatal error within the first few minutes. CPU Temp was at 57 C and the warning beep (set to 60C though) sounded intermittentley which is strange. I let it cool down then ran the torture test again and about 5min. later the system either seized completely or the program crashed. IE has also crashed randomly on me. I did this several times, before trying a different FSB/DRAM ratio. So I left the system at 200 FSB and used a 6:5 ratio so my memory was running at DDR333 and processor was a 3200+. I ran Prime95 again and the system locked up just as it did the other times.  So after I did this a few times with consistent results. I went back and set the FSB to 166 and tried a 5:6 ratio so the memory was DDR400 and processor was the normal 2800+. I ran it again and to my suprise it passed all the tests and after an hour of this, I tried a game and that was perfectly fine as well. I checked the temps and CPU was only 45 C this time. So I'm thinking the processor can't handle anything above 50C or it's just plain overheating. I ordered a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF today which is tested up to 3400+ so this should fix my problem. If not, then I'm going to replace the memory with a 512MB Geil PC3200 golden dragon dual-channel kit.

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR blown?

    I have K7N2 Delta-ILSR.
    I wanted to use the dolby digital out put of the board and since I didnt have a S-Bracket I decided to hook a wire onto the pin and connect that to a rca cable which goes to my decoder.
    I used the board like this with no problems for about 10 months.  But then the wire got moved and I think the board got shorted so it shutdown. This happened once before but the pc was fine.. This time the pc wont boot. I checked all the components and everything seems to be working including the power supply. The fans spin for a few seconds then it stops.
    Whenever I plug in the power the Nforce 2 MCP-T gets really hot. you can barely touch it. So do you guys think I blew it for good and need a new board?

    i have this board and i have done plenty of stupid things with it, it alway's seemed to live on with no problems, except once i cant remeber clearly though.
    i did a ridiculus overclock from stable 199 to ~220 @ 1.8, tries to put it in safe mode nothing??, un hooked everthing and put it back together.. nothing, so i left it unplugged and without a battery for about two week, dident want to look at it as i though i f++ked it.
    came back to it, put most of it together and it booted no problems in safe mode, dont know what happened but its still living now?

  • Soundstorm won't open! nForce2 k7n2 Delta-ILSR

    Yo guys.
    For some reason my Soundstorm control panel wont open.  Every time i try and open it encounters a problem and needs to close before the window even shows up. In the past I've also had problems where my onboard LAN and sound devices disable themselves.  It's a confusing problem, basically even if i try and reset things, like ipconfig /release /renew, it says that i can't renew it because the file needed for it isn't anywhere to be found.
    If you need any more information, just ask and i'll give it to you.
    -d1git

    I'm having a similar problem.   I lost my 5.1 sound and it can't be solved by completely uninstalling drivers because that can't even be done.
    Specs are as follows:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    AthlonXP 2500+
    1gig RAM
    ATI Radeon 9100 128mb
    WD 120GB HD
    WinXP SP1 + updates
    When I first built this thing a year ago, the sound, nForce sound control panel worked fine on SP1.  About a month ago, I had some issues with the onboard LAN which led to a reinstall (under the "upgrade" option).  The "LAN problem" turned out to be a NIC/hub hardware compatibility issue, so it's irrelevant here.  After it got done installing, I lost all sound.  When I double-clicked on the nForce sound control panel, an error of SndStorm.exe came up.  I tried to install over the drivers with the new unified drivers, but the nVidia setup program starts up, gets to 100%, then does nothing.  I uninstalled the Dolby MCP and audio controller through the device manager, but before the computer restarts after an "uninstall," a box popped up saying something about "uninstall failed" but Windows shuts down too fast for me to read the rest of the error message.  Did this several times.
    On subsquent sound driver uninstall/reinstalls, it's been hit or miss.  Windows would detect the devices and use the drivers it finds (or if I direct Windows to the driver files I downloaded).  Sometimes I get sound from the front 2 speakers and the sub, sometimes I get no sound.  
    So I tried to reinstall ("upgrade") WinXP+SP1 again, then I went to add/remove software and got rid of all nVidia drivers, restarted.  I can't remove "nVidia nForce Utilities" at all.  Under the add/remove program entry, it doesn't say how many MB's the utilities take up, nothing about how frequently it was used.  When I hit add/remove, the error is simply "installation failed."  Clearly the uninstalls aren't clean, and I'm willing to go manually remove things from the registry if I have to, but I don't even know where to start.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this other than a clean wipe?  Thanks.

  • Win XP problem w/k7n2 delta ilsr

    Hi,
    Yes, you should install the nForce drivers for your board:
