[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 psted once - now I get nothing on screen

Hi all:
I've been reading some of the other posts on this topic, but I decided to add mine since it is slightly unique. A colleague of mine wanted a new system so I recommended him a list of parts on newegg.com, and he ordered it and assembled it himself. He reported to me that it was able to POST sporadically, but that he was having no consistent success. I assumed he did something wrong, so I took a look at the system yesterday.
I took everything apart, re-seated the CPU, HSF (applied thermal grease after removing the pad), removed one of the memory modules, reset the CMOS, and then plugged everything back inside the case (AGP, HDD, fans). The system posted, to my surprise. Delighted, I started off by looking at setting up the system date when the screen went blank. I re-started the system and on all subsequent trials, I've not been able to get POST to show...I get nothing. I've removed the battery, and reset the CMOS with the jumper, but I've had no success. I disconnected the HDD too. The system fans do spin but the monitor indicates no signal.
I tried a different video card (the one from PC#1 listed in my signature), and it had no effect on the system. I put the PC#2 video card in my #1 system and it worked fine. I have moved the RAM around in the system, with no effect. I tried 1 stick of my Samsung PC-2700 (again from PC #1), but I had no luck. The only things I have yet to do is try to run the system out of the box, and also to try running it with the 430w Antec PSU.
What do you guys think, RAM compatibility issues? Corsair's website would beg to differ, but it seems that a number of people have had some problems with Corsair & MSI K7N2 motherboards. The RAM sticks were purchased in a dual-channel kit. Why would the PC POST once last night for about a minute, and not be able to do so again? I suppose the obvious answer is that something is fried.
Any help or additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

DaveR & osnavi had it right on. The 350W Antec PSU had +12V1/10A, +12V2/15A, -12V/0.3A which is a total of ~15A I believe. The 430W Antec in my main machine had +12V/20A, -12V/1.0A. I connected the 430W power supply and I achieved POST without problems. I've since connected all of the devices, loaded Windows XP and even got the dual channel RAM to work. Thanks for all the help! I'll tell my colleague to get a higher grade PSU with at least 12V/18A.

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

Good .. I would like to work together I have an iphone 63gs 16gb, I do not read the sim card in itunes gave him the option restore and now I get on the screen that you can not do iphone activation would help me. I'm from Colombia

Activation requires a SIM card.
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

Specs for the Retina iPad are below. You can store at 26, but you may need to allow it to reach room temp slowly (no hair dryers).

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum will not boot up

i have a new K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, a new computer case, and just looking to transfer my old hard drive that was on my old mobo to this new mobo and computer case. I am running XP pro w/sp2. i have installed a new dvd burner and a new cd burner. these items where not previously connected to old pc. I have a MSI-FX5500 video card installed as well. now keep in mind that i already have my old hard drive with XP pro on it, when i go connect all the devices and power on the pc, i am able to go into the bios, it recognizes my 2gigs of corsair memory, my hard drive is recognized, both my cdr/w and my dvdr/w drives are recognized, however, when it starts to load XP from my hard drive, a very quick blue screen comes and goes and i am unable to read the error message. I was wondering is there anyway to slow down or freeze the screen so that I can read the error message? Also, more information about the setup, since i am unable to load XP pro that i already have on my hard drive, I am unable to install the software drivers for either the motherboard or the video card....... Any point of direction would be greatly appreciated. I have built several computers from the ground up before and this is the first time I have ran into this problem........ thanks

since the hard drive was set up on your old mobo then it'll not work straight off on the new one as the details in the registry will be different. One way around it is to boot up off the xp cd and select to install xp and then when it finds your old install on the drive select repair the old installation and this should sort it and will keep all your data thats saved on there.
Once into windows remember to uninstall ALL the old drivers and install all the new ones or problems will arrise and force you into doing a full fresh install.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum w/Version B.5 BIOS, trouble with post and XP install.

I have
K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
MS-6570E Version 1.0 motherboard
AMD Sempron 2600+
Elixir 500MB PC-3200 DDR (3 sticks, total 1.5GB)
eVga Nvidia MX4000 64MB AGP card
Maxtor ATA-100 PCI controller
I pulled everything else out of the box. I've tried the B.3, B.4, and B.5 BIOS and set everything to Optimized Defaults. I created a striped RAID Array of 4 WD 80GB drives on the primary and secondary onboard controller. The CD is on the Maxtor controller.
There are some problems I can't figure out.
1) The mobo identifies the CPU as Athlon XP 1100
2) The POST hangs just before seeking the IDE drives. I have to hit a key for it to continue.
3) The LED's on the D bracket have the top right light dark until the key is hit. Something to do with initializing the floppy controller.
4) The XP install fails to a blue screen just after hitting the F8 key to accept the license. The code is 0x0000007B.
Can someone tell me what these issues have to do with each other and how I can correct them?

Quote from: dmichael34 on 17-September-05, 22:42:56
The Maxtor controller was removed when you originally suggested to do so. The add on controller is an SIL 680 RAID.
I will try reseating the processor next.
I can also attempt a boot through POST without the array, as this shouldn't affect the boot process.
I did notice that the ctrl-alt-del on the LEFT side of the keyboard doesn't work.
However, the ctrl-alt-del on the RIGHT side of the keyboard does work.
Maybe I've been looking for a serious problem and overlooking the obvious.
I do not see how the CPU temp would cause a pause at boot until "any key" is hit... it sounds more to me like the system has paused to either look for a device or boot a BIOS on a device card.
If I am not mistaken, you are using a RAID card to boot windows? Is this correct?
If that is true it is possible the boot sequence is not set correctly in the BIOS such as "BOOT OTHER DEVICE" ( I cannot remember the exact term in the BIOS)
I am not sure about that but you could try changing the boot sequence so your RAID card is above "HARD DISK" on the list

Silverlight crashed, and now i get nothing but spinning pizza on load... many things tried

Hi everyone,
I've enjoyed the last 15 hours i've spent on these forums, but have not found a solution to my problem. As you will no doubt notice from my powerful use of the technical terminology for OSX, my computer skills were developed on another platform but i'm doing my best. I have an I7 15" MBP.
Last night we were watching netflix, silverlight crashed, and then the whole interface locked up. Hard reboot. spinning wheel.
For the first few hours, given enough time, it would eventually load up the GUI, and then reboot it every 30 seconds.
I could reach it from my Imac, and have taken off the most essential files... have run
diskutil via DVD boot repaired disk and permissions (there were some iproj things repaired, but that seemed to work itself out)
Held down the shift key to run whatever that does
Have done the option command PR thingy for the nvram thingy
Got the single user console up and ran the /sbin/fsck -fy
This got me a 'files were modified' the first time i ran it and then all clear the second time. I got a few errors on reboot that i didn't capture, sadly, other than a disks02 I/O error (i think)
Having seen no significant change, and having learned that 'reinstalling the operating system' doesn't overwrite files, i tried to reinstall. Twice. Both failed.
Now i no longer get the blue screen or the rebooting finder. Now i just get the grey screen... with an apple... and a spinning grey wheel.
Now uh... i dunno what to do.
Do you?

Replced hard drive, now just get a black screen on startup? help please!

Hi all
So today I upgraded my hard drive in my 17" white iMac, i was pretty careful and ive double checked that all wires/connections were reattached but when i start it up i hear the start up tone but the screen just stays blank, tried the PRAM reset and even hooked up an external display and getting nothing at all. I put my installation disk in and can hear the disk being read etc but just getting a blank screen.
Any advice much appreciated
Thanks
Wayne

Sounds like you didn't reconnect the backlight inverter cable when you reassembled:

If you shine a bright light/sunlight on the screen, can you see faint activity? If not, then it would be the data cable you didn't connect:

I just updated my brand new iMac and now I get a white screen

I just updated my new iMac and all I get is a white screen. It went from installing to the white screen. I can do nothing but shut it down by pressing the on/off button. When turned back on I get the white screen again. What happened? What can I do about it?

If the system is less than 14 days old, you said it was "Brand New", take it back and get a refund and then buy another. Apple has a 14 day No questions asked return policy for full refund. Take advantage of and get a system that works correctly. The one you have certainly isn't.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2-FSR PCI revision Q.

What is the PCI revision for this motherboard?
Can't find it anywhere on official page or somewhere else.
thx in advance

Dr Stu, I have'nt bought the board yet, I just want to upgrade my kt3 ultra2 in my sig, want to get dual channel memory, 8X AGP and sata to get the most speed out of my XP2700. I have already bought another 512mb of Crucial Ballistix for the dual channel. I'm looking for a good socket A board before they go away! I know I'm pushiing my PS with only 18amps on the 12v side, but it has the xtra 4 pin connector and it's a good quality. The link Fredrik so kindly provided is what it looks like. It has been a decent sink for me. It is 80 X 80 mm @ the aluminum fins. Actually I had to lap mine to get a shiney surface, it had machine marks on it. Thanks
P.S. The K7N2 looks like it's feature pack, just wondered if it's a good stable board

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2-FSR and AX-7 Heatsink

Hi, does this heatsink fit on this MB? It looks like the chipset HS & fan are too close. Anyone have this combination? Also is this a good socket a board, there seem to be people with alot of problems? Thanks

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 LSR and XP-M 2600 Help!!!

Hi,
I'm having trouble just getting this board to run stable at any speed.
The orignal idea was to put this system together from spare parts and use it as a second sytem to learn about OCing, but somehow I ended up buying mostly new parts and I can't even get it set up to run stable at BELOW stock speeds.
380W Antec Truepower 24A 12v
Kingston HyperX KHX 3500K2/1g (installed in slots 1&3 - middle slot empty)
Artic Coolling Copper Lite
Thermalrigtht NB-1
XP Home
The problem is Windows just locks up. I don't get a BSOD or error messages.
I've tried different ram voltages from 2.5 thru 2.7
I've tried using Patroit XBL 3200 TCCD
Am I overlooking something obvious?
Thanks,
L.J.

Excellent
download cpu-z
memory tab tells you actual memory timings
spd tab gives you the manuufacturer's programmed timings
I'm still on bios b3 as it is only one that allows me to change memory timings with DOT disabled.
keep us informed as to your progress
Thanks Dave. I don't know why I didn't remember that.
Good Luck

[nForce] k7n2 delta2 shut down

When I try to shut the computer off, windows shut down option, all it will do is reset the computer.

The onboard lan is disabled. If I shut the pc off with the rocker switch on the psu, I have to wait a few minutes before it will startup again.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 B61 Beta Bios

Anyone have try new b61 bios? I have try a B56 bios but it suck . For my question, it is better than B30 bios? I read it a lot I other forum and they said it great. How about it temperature? It is low like B30?
Sorry for asking to much because my system is still in RMA

I have tried b5, b6.1, b6.0 and b3. As you can see from my signature b3 works best for me; it is the only one that allows a change to high performance mode (from optimised) withoou enabling DOT and seems more stable than the others; cpu temp was lower as well, although that may be a bug.
If you do an advanced search with my user name and b3 in text you will see many posts.

HT4623 I updated software but before it was completed, I unplugged the phone, now I have nothing on screen but the apple icon, how can I get use of my phone back/

Under settings on my Iphone I needed to do a software update. It said to turn on the wifi and plug the phone in. I did this it was suppose to take approximately 1 hour. The screen showed downloading and a blue line that I thought it was finished, I unplugged the phone and now I have the apple icon that flashes periodically. I do not have access to use it as a phone or anything else. I can't seem to get it to do anything. Right now it is plugged into my computer and I thought I had completed the update but still nothing.

restart the iPhone by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
