Problem: mainboard MSI KT3 (6380) with RAM Kingston !

Hello,
I have mainboard MSI KT3 UltraAru (6380) and i have a problem with RAM Kingston KVR333X64C25/512. I changed many options in setup BIOS (load default options too...). Nothing resolved the problem. PC restarts or blue screen appears.
This RAM is working correctly with another PC/another mainboard. This mainboard is OK too. Could you pls help me to resove that issue. I would be grateful for prompt answer.
Thank you and Kind Regards

"thlon XP 2500@2600"
I made mistake, I think...
I thougt than my procesor is Athlon2.5, now I thing Athlon2.6 .
When I make FSB CPU 155 or 160 or 166 or 170 xAUTO=athlon2.6,
when 133 or 150 x AUTO= Athlon2.0.
I don't know why I thing than my procesor speed is 2,5...
What is normal speed my procesor ? 2.6 ?.
When I change configuration in setup BIOS to "Load default" and make FSB 130...170 (this speed I tested)x AUTO the system with kingston doesn't start but start with onother RAM (samsung).
When I change FSB to 100xAuto the system starts with the kingston but now it isn't stabile
The BIOS (5.7) and motherboard drivers are all up to date.

MSI KT3 ultra aru Western Digital 200GB raid problem

Hi!
This is what I've got.
KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E)
AMD 2000+
256 MB 333mhz RAM (AMD Compatible)
Seagate ST330630A 30GB (an old drive)
Maxtor 6L080J4 80GB
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 6Y080L0 80Gb 7200rpm 2Mb UDMA133 Fluid IDE
Western Digital Caviar WD1800JB 180Gb 7200rpm Special Edition UDMA100 IDE
Western Digital Caviar WD2000JB 200Gb 7200rpm Special Edition UDMA100 IDE
Promise 100 IDE-controller
Creative Geforce MX 440
Lite-on LTR-40125W
NEC ND-1300 DVD
And the configuration:
IDE1: Seagate (Master)
IDE2: WD1800BG (Cabel Select)
IDE3(Raid1): Maxtor 6LO80J4 (Master) and Maxtor 6Y080L0 (Slave) raided as an single drive
IDE4(Raid2): WD2000JB (Cable Select)
IDE5(IDE-controller1):
IDE6(IDE-controller2): NEC ND-1300 (Master) and Lite-on LTR-40125W (Slave)
And the Software:
I've updated all the software drivers so I've got the newest and I'm currently runnign Win2k SP3 with almost every patch installed on it.
And finally the problem:
When I've hook my WD2000JB to the on-board raid everything seems to be working normaly. The bios finds the drive and makes a new array. Win2k boots up and finds the drive and I can create an partition. But when I've try to format it it the computer starts to freeze for a while and then acts like normal again. The HDD-led blinks as it should during the "normal" time, but when the comp. freezes it stops blinking. The formatation stops at 7% and the HDD-led stops lighting. I don't get an error eventhough it was several hours since it stoped. And the formatation takes like 30min for 1%.
When I connect the WD2000JB to the IDE3 I can format it and it acts just like normal. I even did a full system test with the System tool found on Western Digitals support site and it didn't find any errors. But when move it to the raid-IDE the errors return. I've get Error reading / writing to disk and when I've did a chkdsk I've got the "Coudn't use Device) so I did a scandisk and it found very very many errors so it completly ereased everything that was on it.
And when I've run Western Digitals program again i've get an error (Disk error read/writing) error code: 0113.
Can it be that the Western Disk doesn't work well with Raid? I've haven't heard anything about that, so...
Best regars,
Mathias

I've had similar problems where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. Installing Windows XP simply didn't work very good. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.
Check your PSU and your bus speed settings...

MSI - KT3 Ultra-ARU Raid + XP

Hi,
I have just built a new system using the MSI - KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard and am having issues instaling Windows XP professional.
The system has been set with 2 Maxtor HD on Raid 0 Stipping.
On installing Windows XP and Raid Driver 2.0 that comes with the board, XP continues to load the files needed for setup, while in this process it will have a read/copy error. As much as you retry it will not read. This happens on different files each time I try to install and is not a bad CD.
Any suggestions ?

MSI KT3 Ultra2 and S-ATA

I'm wondering if my MSI KT3 Ultra2 with a S-ATA controller card will support S-ATA?
If so, will S-ATA2 work?

yes, if you buy a SATA2 add-in controller card, then you can use it with SATA2 drives

MOVED: MSI CX623 - Problem with RAM and setting the primary board

This topic has been moved to MSI Notebooks & Netbooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167930.0

You should try a different mem slot. Say for example 0 and 2. There have been issues with DDR slots and all different types of mobos. Like I have a Shuttle Ak31v3 mobo with 2x256DDR2100 Kingston and the chips will only work on slots 2-4 and 1-3. It will not boot if I tried any other combination. It's a pain in the ass but thats just how it is. I had this same problem with a Asus A7V266.
I don't however have that problem on my Kt3 ultra 2 R mobo.

BIG problem with MSI kt3 ultra2 Help

First, hi!
I got a MSI KT3 ultra 2 mainboard (at least it's what it is on my mainboard)
MS-6380E ver 1.0
i go on the Website.. AND the Kt3 Ultra 2 board, does not look like mine!
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=341
(i have almost the same thing,but without the 2 EXtra IDE,and i dont have a FAN but a MSI DDR orange heatsink) it is wrote the model number in the SAME EXTACT WAY ( MS-6380E ver 1.0 and kt3 ultra2,above),u can see it by checkign the large pic.. And on that page it say my mobo KT3 ultra 2 support fsb 333
But
IN my book (my mobo book) it say that my mobo don't support FSB 333 (it is important i just brought a 333 cpu) so WHAT THE FCK? i checked on the site
and i found this mobo:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=11
Wich look like mine, and have the specs it got in my book... BUT HOW COME its not KT3 ULTRA 2 and just a kt3 ultra? (remeber on my mobo its a kt3 ultra2)
Damn , i know its a bit complex.. but to make it short if youve been lost
THE KT3 ULTRA2 SPECS IN MY BOOK (USER GUIDE)ARE NOT THE SAME THAT ON THE WEBSITE, ON THE WEBSITE I WOULD HAVE THE KT3-ULTRA (NOT 2) but when i look on the KT3-ultra the model number.. it's not the same as my mobo...
So i would like to know Does my mobo support the fsb 333LIKE A KTA3 ULTRA 2 SHOULD DO ? (prolly not,but lets hope)
thx for yer help

Maybe it is good news
Hey.. is it normal.. i just noticed that
what is wrote between my PCI slots ( KT3 ULTRA2 ) is kinda wierd
the KT3 ULTRA is in WHITE then just beside there is 2CE in orange
so it make it KTA ultra 2 CE (but what the CE stand for,and why my 2 and CE are in orange,as if would be a little sticker,but its not,i just checked)
and i saw on this card : THIS
that the 2CE is in white.. thats the only difference with the 2 extra ide.
And if someone could confirm what the guy above stated that it will work even if its a wierdo board at 166 mhz.. thx you

MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz

Hello.
I have problem with ram frequency.
I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5 but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?

Quote from: DaLoona
Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.
Just typing what "the professional's" at the store said.

KT3 ultra2 with amd barton 3000+ problems

Ok so I upgraded from a 1800+ to a barton 3000+, and im having problems running the chip. Iv set the fsb to 166, the ram to HCLK, tried running with just one stick, it runs for about 5min then restarts. Any ideas?
System specs
Msi kt3 Ultra 2 (newest bios 5.7)
Msi GF fx 5900 not overclocked
2x 512 pc3200 ram, one stick is kingston other is OCZ
Sound blaster Audigy
Enermax 365 watt pws
20gb maxtor hd (lol)

Well if you purchased an Athlon XP 3000+ which is a 400mhz chip and are trying to run it at 333mhz instead of 400mhz that might be the issue aside from the fact that the KT3 Ultra2 does not support that chip so it could also be a bios issue.
I retract a little of that. There is an Athlon XP 3000+ 333mhz chip. But are you sure this is what you obtained? If not that is your problem.

Msi KT3 MoBo / MSI geForce4 TI 4200 Problem

Hello, hopefully someone can help me. I am having a rather unusual problem. Least I think it is. I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram. AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card. First of all, what agp settings should i use? 4x? 2x?. Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes? And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?
I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898! This seems a little low to me. Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000. I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers. Are these bad drivers? None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2. It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage. Can anyone help me? I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn.

I am using Windows XP Pro. I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA. I am also using a 32bpp color depth. The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically. I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have. Man do I fell like such a n00b.
Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked". Where is that at?
Thanks to all who have replied. :D I appreciate it.

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU with GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Umm...
My PC keep freezing when I play a 3D Game like Warcraft III, GTA 3 or Neverwinter Nigths.
Sometimes it's freezing after 2 mins, sometimes I can play like a half hour.
When it's freezed, Windows don't work either so the whole comp is messed up then .. and I have to reboot him.
I post this here cuz I heard that those new GeForce Cards have some compatibilty probs with mainboards ...
maybe ... someone asked this already ... or just knows a soulution ...

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Mem timing problems?

As experienced by myself as well as Maximum PC Magazine during testing. Using high quality memory such as Samsung PC2700 DDR on the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU, if you set the cas latency timings to the most agressive settings, next time you try to boot into Windows, your OS crashes and the registry gets corrupted. Also the board actually interprets CAS 2.5 memory as CAS 2. I am sure a BIOS update will fix this problem, however who else has had this problems?

not for sure what the difference is between xtreme memory modules and,i guess,plain memory modules.installing samsung pc3200 256 ddr into msi kt3 ultra2,was wondering if you have had any compatability problems with your type of memory.have posted to three different forums with no results.

Help with ram slots on MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM

rig config:
MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM (MS-7380)
bios version: 1.3v
Q6600 quard core 2.66GHz
Zotac modded 9800GTX+ amped version
2x2 Gb DDR2 800MHz Kingston
500 watt (absolute) power supply (taken form an old HP workstation)
windows 7 X64
Everything's on stock setting
Its been almost 1 & 1/2 years since i bought this rig, and from first month itself i have been having problem with the ram. The problem is not with the sticks, its with the ram slots. There are different things that happen. Sometimes when i boot my system:
1) either, it wont start, i.e. no boot screen.
2) It will load upto windows startup screen, crash and restart in an infinite loop.
3) It will load windows, then crash after sometime.
4) If i run any memory diagnostic, it will give errors.
At these times, i take out my 2 ram sticks, tinker with them, place them in different combination of ram slots, try push them in, in a certain way, keep trying until it yields and it boots up again ( generally a process of 1/2 an hr to an hr). After this my system will work fine ( no errors on any memory diagnostic) and boot properly for a week or 2, maybe even a month, but then again the same problem happens. I know for sure that there is no problem with my dimms (have checked them in other system and they work fine), its something to do with ram slots, or memory bus-controller structure.
Recently the problem happened again, though my tinkering didn't help. My system only boots up if i place any of the ram sticks in the 3rd slot (the 1st orange one). It wont work for any other slot and neither will it work if i place both of the sticks together. I have tried resetting my bios as well cmos settings, but it has not helped. My mb is still in warranty, but if i give it for repair, it will be gone for a good month or so, which doesn't go well with me. If someone has any suggestions, or a way out, it will be highly appreciated. Please help!

yes the psu has a single +12v rail with 21A rating, but somehow i don't feel the problem is because of it. When my system successfully boots, it works properly. I can play or work on high performance softwares for any number of hours without fail, which ought not to happen if the psu is bad.
Hmm, you are ignoring the possibility that your PSU is "flaky" (that's a technical term)!!!! You've never had any gizmo where "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work"?
If you don't want to buy a new PSU then at least beg-borrow-steal another one and see if your symptoms change.
