Problems with booting a K7N2 Delta-ILSR

OK, this is the first time I have put together my own computer. I checked, double checked, and tripple checked everything in every manual and book that I have at my disposal and the motherboard and windows would not recognise the floppy drive. So i took the computer to a friend that is A++ certified and has 3 other degrees in computer tech. and he fixed the drive. Then we restarted the computer and then all it did was beep. The motherboard book says that it has something to do with the memory. On the D-Bracket the lights are 1 Red, 2 Green, 3 Red, 4 Red. So we tried clearing the CMOS and it did nothing. So we tried it again but waited longer to turn the PC back on (about 45min. of time elapsed) and again it did nothing but beep again (3-1 was the code). We tried to clear the CMOS about 4 more time with 5 min added to the time that we waited the last time we tried and it still does the same thing. Anyone have any idea about what I can do?

Actuly I flashed the BIOS a day before all the problems started. The only thing I really went over to my friends house for was to see why the system was not recognising the flopy drive. We got that fixed and we went into windows and the floppy worked then we were going to go into the BIOS and see what (if anything) had changed and that is when the computer did not restart properly and will not do anything other then the 3-1 beep error. I have done everything that I know of to do and still nothing I have even tried using dancers information twice. Well I am gonna see if i can do anything thing else. If I can't get it working by morning then I am going to take the MB back and see if I can get another or a refund to get a different board. So if anyone else wishes to help please leave your ideas.

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't boot from FDD or HD

    I have a serious problem with my new K7N2 delta ILSR based computer.
    My machine is
    K7N2 delta ILSR 400W
    3.3/25 5/32 12/15 V/A PSU
    512+256 MB A-data 3200 ram
    Athlon XP2500+
    BTC 48x24x48 Combo
    100 mb Zip int. -disabled
    120 GB Seagate barracuda SATA-disabled
    120 GB Seagate Barracuda parallel
    Triplex parasouls ATI 9600PRO 128MB
    The machine POST's normally with all 4 lights doing what they should.
    The Promise BIOS can detect the SATA drive correctly but when an attempt is made to write the array an error- 'error modifying array- system is going to reboot- press any key to reboot>" is given.
    The M/B BIOS detects the FDD and Seagate Parallel drives correctly but when a correctly formatted XP boot disc (or Mandrake Linux or Caldera DR-DOS) is placed in the floppy drive a "no system disk" error is given.
    When you F6 to install RAID drivers in the Windows XP install and the screen comes up where you are prompted to insert the floppy there is no mass storage device detected.
    I purchased a new FDD and it gives precisely the same error as the original.
    I installed the parallel Seagate in another system and installed and activated windows XP on it. After re-installing it in the K7N2 system I was disappointed to discover that it will not boot off the hard drive. When you boot from the XP CD the machine locks up. (Disconnecting the HD it will boot normally)
    This is a real puzzle as it is possible to format the hard drive using Max Blast3- the maxtor disk utility which is based ( as is the Seagate Seatools utility) on Caldera DR-DOS). And I can't see why it should boot from a CD-ROM and not from any other correctly formatted boot disk.
    I suspect a problem in either the (South?) bridge that controls the peripherals or the BIOS. I am at a loss how to re-flash the BIOS with out the use of the floppy drive- unless this can be done from a CD-ROM.
    The PSU is not being strained and nForce list both RAM sticks as OK.

    The Fd light behaves normally. i.e. lights up when the drive is being accessed.
    has anybody else noted that the FDD is B by default- That the cables have a few wires twisted like the wires between the first and second plugs on the old cables?
    The IDE 80 wire(counted!) is long end in the board- my plugs are all 3 black. You can't put them in the wrong way becaue of the centre key.
    All the stands are plastic except for two brass ones that are in the centre of the board that go to circular mount pads. That is how the case came and I thought it was a design feature.
    The thing I find most puzzleing is that i can boot a caldera based system that finds everything including the floppy- and read it- (provided you call it drive B!) yet naything DOS based won't go- I have this feeling that it has a screwed up DOS call that is not looking in the right disk sector for NTldr or whatever to boot. I think this is a bios problem- but I am not sure how to find out when you can't boot from the FDD.
    My brother has talked to some tech friends and there word is that this is a weird one- probably a dud board RTS.

  • Problem with K7N2 Delta-ILSR, please help

    First off, these are the specs for the computer to which I shall be referring in this post:
    K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    AMD 2700+
    1x512MB PC3200 Memory Corsair CM64SD512
    Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200RPM SATA ST380013AS
    ATI 9600 Pro
    400 Watt power supply
    Cendyne 52x cd burner
    Here's what happened.  I installed everything with only minor difficulties, mostly due to getting the hard drive to work.  They were worked through with little problem due, in large part, to this forum.  I installed Windows XP, and we ran a number of things with no problem after the OS installation.  The drivers for the video card loaded well.  3DMark2003 ran beautifully.  After I got that working, I went to put my friend's old hard drive in as a slave, so he could get the files off of it.  This seemed to work well enough.  Then we went to load the drivers for the motherboard.  When it got to the audio driver, we got the old "blue screen".  Then the computer reset and tried booting 98 from the old hard drive.  We shut down and disconnected the old hard drive.  Then we restarted to find that after the second screen XP would not begin to boot.  After some playing around we decided it best to reinstall, because with no combination could we get the OS to boot up.  So we reinstalled, with a full format.  This time, the first thing I went for was the motherboard drivers.  It stopped at the audio driver, again, and gave us the old "blue screen", again.  This time, instead of stopping the boot after the second screen, it came up with this message
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    \system32\hal.dll.
    Please re-install a copy of the above file.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before we decide what to do next.  Please let me know if any more information is required.  None of the bios settings have been altered, save to boot from the CD.
    Thank you,
    M.Cordier

    i would test ram
    http://www.memtest86.com
    and go to drive makers site and get their testing utility
    other possibility is a crap psu like them qtecs

  • Fatal Exception on boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    Ok, my roommate just got a new K7N2 Delta-ILSR.  We got it hooked up and as soon as it got to the windows boot screen, a fatal exception error popped up.  We reinstalled the OS (Windows XP Pro), and it goes through the drive format and copies the files just fine.  But when it reboots it pops up the fatal exception error again.  We've tried restarting it, and it will go through the rest of the installation, then give the error on the next boot.  After this it won't go past the OS boot.  I've checked all the cables and jumpers, everything looks good there.  We've checked the powersupply, and it is a little lower than what I've seen people suggest here, however it's higher than mine, and I'm running a K7N2 Delta-L.
    As for memory, he is using Corsair Dual Channel PC 2700.  We're going to swap the power supply and the RAM to see if that makes a difference, but I wanted to know if there was anything else that might cause this problem.

    Ok, we've found a temporary solution to the problem, but it's not one that sits well with my roommate.  We've underclocked the ram down to 266mhz instead of 333mhz and we have it running in single channel mode instead of dual channel.  The system runs ok, and it's only locked once while playing Planetside, but that was about 5 hours into the game and I think it was because of a bug in the game.  If that's the permanent solution, then he'll probably be returning either the ram or the motherboard, depending on which one is having the problem.
    And as much as I love MSI products, I do have to say that I am very disapointed with their technical support.  I mean, honestly, it's pretty lame when you can't call on a friday to get support.  I can understand not being open on saturday and sunday, but to have nobody in the office on a friday is just insulting.
    Anyways, still looking for a solution to get the ram and the motherboard to work together at the normal clock speeds.

    You first need to make sure you have the promise controller drivers installed for it to recognize the hard drive. The system should have came with a floppy disk with the drivers on it........Make sure your boot order is floppy drive/cdrom drive/sata/scsi........boot to the XP cd after you have the sata controllers installed......then run the XP disk setup partion/format/install.........after installation you can set boot order as sata/scsi as first boot device.

  • Problem with K7N2 Delta ILSR?

    Hi
    Not sure if there is a problem or not but I have:
    K7N2 Delta ILSR
    Athlon XP 2.8GHz
    512Meg Ram
    Win XP SR2
    When I check in System Properites, on the General Tab, at the bottom though it reports I have a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+, correctly, however underneath it says  "2.08 GHz, 512 Mb RAM".
    What happened to the other 0.7 Ghz !
    In the BIOS, the FSB is set to 166 Mhz as recommeded. If set to 100 MHz, in the BIOS the clock speed appears as 1250Mhz! Surely that's not right.
    I know it wont run at the full 2.8 GHz but I thought it should only be a little less than that? Is this normal?
    Many Thanks

  • Sata boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR board and can't load the os to the sata drives. Both drives are new and raid 0. The load sees no drives and the raid drives don't show in the boot device menu in the bios. What have I missed? Is this possable?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mike

    so you made the array control plus f i assume
    have you set scsi second to cdrom
    then hit f6 as xp install starts
    and feed in drivers

  • Someone plz help me with my k7n2 delta-ilsr

    Hey everyone,
            I just put my sytem togother and ran into a problem.  I got the system to boot up just fine.  It was not until I tried installing windows xp proffesional that  I ran into problems.  The installation process runs pretty smoothly, until the computer reboots to run windows for the first time.  After it reboots the windows logo appears and the after 2 seconds or so, a blue screen appears saying that windows was shut down to prevent any damage to my computer.  I have never encountered this problem before when I built other systems.  The screen suggests that I should check my HDD's for viruses or check to see if they are configured correctly.  The HDD's are SATA and I have them set up in RAID 0 mode and yeah I installed the RAID drivers during the installation process.  Thinking that I had made mistake setting up the SATA drives, tried installing windows using a regular IDE hard drive and it gave the same message.  I am stumped anybody have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?  Any help would be appreciated .  My system specs are below.

    Winbond is no longer making BH-5 chips but is going to make a limited run of them as demend is high for them.

    The timing numbers can also appear like this 2 2 2 5 the high number is the Traz either way.
    Look on your memory manufactor web site for the timing that if should run at also look at the voltage as this can make a big differance.

  • HELP me with my K7N2 delta ilsr

    Can anyone help me with this problem. I have just upgraded to MSI's K7N2 delta ilsr motherboard. Its all working quite well apart from the fact that the pc wont start up from cold....at all.
    When I start the pc from an off state, it runs up the fans and drives, but does not post.
    The diagnostic led pannel on the back of the pc shows that the cpu is faulty or not installed correctly.
    If I then press the reset button, the pc posts, and boots up just fine.
    It does this EVERY time I start up.
    I have tried re installing the cpu, which is an XP 2800+ 333 barton, but to no avail.
    I have asked a few questions on other forums, but I cant solve it.
    These are the suggestions so far.
    1. the psu (I have a Tsunami 400 atx psu) could not be giving out enough power on initial startup, but once the pc is running, it has enough to boot the pc from a reset.
    2. The mobo or the bios could be at fault. I have not flashed the bios, or upgraded it in any way from original, so is there an issue with the original bios on these boards, and 2800 barton chips??? Could it be a mobo fault? The pc runs fine once the machine is booted.? how do I test it?
    3. The cpu could be faulty? but would this not stop it running fuull stop?
    4. my ram. I have a single stick of OCZ 512mb pc3200 ddr, which I was told would make the pc fly. Not shure on that statement, but is this ram compatible?? could this be the problem?
    Im fairly new to the upgrade side of things, and I need some help with this one.
    Also, Id be really greatfull if some one could talk me through flashing my bios to the latest version, as the thought of doing this narks me a bit...I dont want to mess it up and get a dead pc...
    HELP

    +3.3v 14A
    +5v 28A
    +12v 16A
    +5vsb 2A

    Hope this helps, as my pc seems to be living with its case off a lot these days..haha

    Hi
    i bought a AMD Athlon XP 3200+ & MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR.
    unfortuntly i can't boot it. it wont show anything on screen.
    i have tried anything i red in this forum (clear cmos... safe mode jumper...strip all parts...)
    all i get is : 
    blank black display, no beeps and keyboard lights flashes over and over (when connected to a KVM hub), when conected directly to keboard the lights flashes only once but stil black display and no beeps (i hear on speake,when powering up PSU, a silent short noise, no beep).
    power suply turns on (new one 500w), i tried agp video card and replaced with pci video card.
    memory is kingstone 512mb pc3200 400MHz x2, i tried only one of them and both in diferent sockets.
    cpu: AMD xp 3200+ 400fsb.
    i did succed to go into bios only once, after lots of resets and shutdowns and bios clear (after ouers)
    i choosed in the bios: load bios defaults, and thats it. i hoped it starts up but nothing.
    i did all testing i know (checked all pins, cables, clear cmos...all, you name it)
    all parts are brand new (except motherbord. it's seconds hand from eBay. i've bean talled that it works fine)
    i also e-mailed MSI support that question. (2 days ago. no answer yet)
    oh...and i have a pci POST diagnostic card and its 7seg display don't shows any numbers, only when once i succed to get into bios. i don't have the msi original D-Breket addon diag.

    but if mobo not showing bios, i can't update bios from floppy.
    and the tested the mobo out side the case on a antistatic mat and i useed an antistatic strip.
    as i said i could get into the bios once, after many resets....choosed 'load bios defaults..', restarted and.....no go.

    The problem is that it takes forever to install and boot windows with faster processors for some reason. I origianlly built this system with my old Athlon 1.33 and it had these problems.  I then tried a 900mhz athlon and it worked great, so I figured I damaged my 1.33 somehow.  I ordered a 2500+ and a zalmann cpu cooler and now am back to where I was, when the system starts it  seems very unstable and the screen goes blank for 10 minutes while its booting.  It shows about 3 seconds of the starting windows screen then the screen will go blank for a while anf there will be no hard drive activity then it will come back about 10 minutes later and then boot.  Sometimes the system will work fine then sometimes I cant even open my computer i just get the searching flashlight icon where my drives should be.  I have updated to the lastet BIOS.  Also while installing windows I get ocasional long pauses where it is doing nothing at all then it will just magically conitnue and do it in a fashion I would expect a machine of this speed to do.  

    Hmm not sure about the cable position on the CD drives, ill have to check that when I get home.  All the jumpers are set correcly, and the hard drive is all by itself and its on the right connector.  Thanks for the ideas, this problem is really killing me, I havent had these kind of hardware problems in years.  The thing I dont get is why it works good with the 900mhz and not with the 1.33 or 2500+

    Hi,
        Your problem is not the same, SiliconMan is trying to connect with a dial-up modem not LAN. Your problem sounds like it may be configuration, do a search on this post, I'm sure you will find people with onboard LAN troubles. It's hard to troubleshoot though since you didn't provide any info about your computer. Good Luck

    i have 2 problems : the first one is that sometimes windows display me a blue screen with certain problem related to ati2dg.dll i think that problem is beacause the video card so i decided to update the bios , in the live update page from msi says that the bios 7.6 fix a bug with ati vga cards but after flashing and updating to bios v7.6 that blue screen with the same error still appearing so i dont know what else to do to solve the problem and the second one is that when i start any game or make the processor to work a little mostly related with video stuff the case speaker start to beep and the pc lags until he restarts with no reason i really dont know why if u can help me thank you

    Foxtrotccs,
    In the BIOS try setting the AGP to 4X and disable Sidebanding. Then set the AGP Apeture to 256. See if that helps.
    Make sure you are running the lastest   nVidia nForce Drivers and the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. There is still a possibility that the Kingston RAM is the problem.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Memory problems

    I'm trying to burn in a system in a 50 deg C (122 deg F) room for a minimum of 12 hours.  The main system components are as follows:
    Motherboard:  MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    Memory: 2x512 OCZ PC3200 EL
    My problem is that the burn-in software continues to freeze up during the memory test.  I've already contacted the software manufacturers and the software is stable.  It's a problem with the way the motherboard handles the memory.  I've tried putting the memory in dual channel configuration and changing the timing settings in the BIOS.  The SPD settings are 2.5-3-3-7.  Right now I have them at 3-4-3-8.  It's a lot more stable than it was under the default settings but it still freezes up sometime after 7 hours.  Unfortunately, I wasn't around when it froze so I don't know exactly how long it lasted.  I can say that after 7 hours, it wasn't showing any slowdown in performance.  If anyone could think of anything else I might be able to do to get the system stable, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks for the suggestions.  The CPU FSB is 200, so it's already matched up there.  And we have a ton of fans already.  There are two in the front, 4 inside and 1 on the back.  It's a custom case, 2u high.  The power supply is oversized and more than adequate to provide the required power.  I have four of these units running right now.  Two with 2x512 sticks and two with 1x1024 sticks.  For each combination, the memory clock speed for one is 166 and 200 for the other.  I have been loosening up the memory timings trying to get the system stable, but it still isn't.  If the power supply is good, and I'm unable to cool the system anymore due to limititions within the case, is there anything you can think of to stabilize the system.  Maybe other settings in the BIOS or suggestions on how to go about getting good timings for the memory.  Thanks.
