Still got kt3 ultra problem

i posted back on saturday about my cd problem.
i have now bought a decent antec power supply with tons of power but it still will not work.
the problem is that when i try to use a dvd or cd burner to install anything i get the "installshield setup launcher has encoutered a problem"error. it also will not autoplay.
i am using windows xp and i can get a normal cdrom to work.
the other problem is my alcatel usb modem. it just won't sync with the motherboard. it looks like it is going to work but then it switches off and starts again.
i have upgraded the bios,windows xp and have all up to date drivers for everything.
i have tried every possible setting in the bios,swopped cpu, swopped memory,swopped graphic card,swopped several different cd burners/dvd and tried 3 power supplys which the current one has 245w combined.
anybody got any ideas i am totally lost.
many thanks

Put your CD-ROMs in PIO mode and NOT in DMA mode (go to the driver properties of the CD-ROMs). Override the "DMA if available..." with PIO mode. Will this fix the problem for you?

KT3 Ultra problems.

So I've been experiencing some oc problems with my MSI KT3 Ultra. (Rig in Sig) I've been trying to get my AGKGA AXP 1800+ higher than 1.67 without success for weeks now. I thought maybe that the new v5.6 BIOS for the KT3 Ultra would fix my problems. Boy was I wrong.
Upon installation of the new BIOS, everything goes perfectly without interuption or problem. I proceed to restart the computer after installation is completed.
Much to my surprise, the computer will not POST. On the D-Bracket diagnostic LEDs, it gives me the message that there is something wrong with the memory.

I tried switching banks, still no post. I tried resetting the BIOS, still no post. I also tried a working stick of Crucial pc2100 (ddr266), but the same problem still exists.
Have any of you had this problem with the v5.6 BIOS? Do you think that the BIOS was hosed somehow?
All I know is that this problem is making me crazy. I think after this bout with my KT3 Ultra, it is time to replace it. I've had way too many headaches to warrant keeping it.
Thank you for your help...:P

Hi again,
Agree with "Wonkanoby", should remove the battery before shorting the CMOS reset jumper. Have to be careful when you remove it though, can't come into contact with your skin otherwise the various fatty acids contained on your skin will ultimately cause problems. Just use a latex surgical glove or similar or wrap your fingers in gladwrap, just as good.
By removing the battery you shouldn't need to have the jumper on for more than 5 seconds to completely drain the charge in CMOS. After that, remove the shorting jumper to it's storage position and replace the battery then follow the restoration procedure to normal to allow startup, etc. Best of luck,
Dimal.

KT3 Ultra Problem

Ever since I've had my MSI KT3 Ultra my mic has been said to have "an annoying staticy sound in the background." Does anyone know a quick solution to get rid of the static?

First of all, I think you should assess the extent of the problem by arranging to listen to this "staticy sound" yourself. Some people are perfectionists, and the problem may actually be very minor. If you are using the microphone for simple things like voice chatting, then you don't need crystal clear sound. Perhaps you will find te problem not worth bothering with. If ou are using it to record songs, that is a completely different matter.
If you can borrow a better, or at least a different microphone, try it. That may sort out whether the problem is from the microphone or the board. Check that you installed the correct drivers.
Just a word of warning. If in the end you opt for installing a soundcard, some of which are quite cheap now, pay attention to the comon problems experienced when installing a Soundblaster on a Via-based motherboard. In my case I solved the problems of skipping and crackling sounds from a SB4.1 when listening to music, but at the expense of using only two speakers.

Still got 'V' key problems after AppleCare

I had problems with the V key on they keyboard, each time i pressed while typing it pop up in the lower left corner and i had to click it back in to place. I called apple support and they sent me a box to ship the powerbook to their repair center. 2 days later i got the powerbook back, seriously fast, but the problem has not be dealt with. This is what a text file on the desktop said when it came back from AppleCare
"Please be aware that the key board has been re seated but this is a common issue with these units and may return in time but is within Apple spec." and on the proof of repair it states "Reseated Keyboard and replaced a new 'V' key"
What am i supposed to do about this as it is seriously annoying especially when writing words that have alot of 'V' in them?

do to an apple store if there is on close by and they will give you a new key and then you can tell then the key is not up to your satisfaction and they will replace the key till it works beautifully. same thin happened to my z key

Still got a big problem

First, please check out my site...this will be easier to
explain once you see it....
http://www.ekorastudios.com/index2.html
Navigate yourself to "Portfolio" and then to "Video"
I can't get any of my flv files to play, and I'm guess it's
because when you click on the thumbnail of a particualr video you
want to watch, it pops up a new window with just a swf file in it
that plays the flv file. I've been told not to do this (I should
use html to embed the swf), but I did it out of necessity.
Here's my wish, please let me know if you can help me figure
out how to do this...
I'd like to make one swf file with a keyframe for each movie
clip to show. I'd like to code the buttons to open up that one swf
file and tell it to go to a specific frame. That way, everything is
in one swf file (not the actual flv files of course, I use the flv
player to call them in) instead of 60 different swf files and 60
different html files.
Please help!!! Thanks,
B

From what I can tell from your link, the first swf requests a
new web page
with another swf.
What cannot tell is if you intended the second swf to be the
same for all
flvs or you are having a different swf for each flv?
If different swf for each flv file, then you place the
FLVPlayback component
in each and simply set the contentPath ( you can do this in
the Parameters
panel when you click it on stage).
If the same swf for all flv files, then you need to learn how
to pass
information from one swf to another running in a different
web page window.
Based on you novice level, you are moving into challenging
scripting
territory both in Actionscript and in Javascript along with
dynamic HTML tag
writing.
Perhaps on design it would be wise to use two frames in one
swf and dispense
with the popup html windows.
Frame 1 is the flv selection page and frame 2 is the page
with the
FLVPlayback component.
Frame 1 sets a timeline scoped variable for the flv url
var myFlvUrl:String;
and stops
stop();
Frame 1 has a button for each video
on (release)
myFlvUrl = "TheCowJumpedOverTheMoon.flv"
gotoAndStop(2);
Repeate for each video button on frame 1
On frame two the action is
myFlvPlayBack.contentPath = myFlvUrl;
a FLVPlayback component with the instance name
myFlvPlayBack.contentPath.
A button that returns to flv selection page (frame 1)
on (release)
gotoAndStop(1)

A variable name can also go there or more generically any
String expression.
The variable represents a URL. The variable was assigned
dynamically
elsewhere in the scripting such as via a button. Thus you
only need only one
FLVPlayback component and scripting to dynamically change the
variable's
value.
myFlvPlayBack.contentPath = aVariableName;

KT3 Ultra Always Hang

I bought my KT3 Ultra in June, ever since then I never enjoy my new system AT ALL. I am having so many problems over it. First, it cant detect my liteon 16x10x40x cdrw. Then, the most annoying problem is that whenever I drag my windows it will freeze the wondows then after a few click of mouse, the whole system hang!!!!
I have tried to flashed the bios, install the latest VIA chipset and even changed a new graphic card(i first thought it was graphic card prob). But it is still the same result I got. I am now so feddup with it. I tried to go for warranty, and when it is back it is still the same problem over and over. I am so frustrated now. Anyone can help me please???
Duron 1Ghz
256Mb Kingmax DDR RAM ( x2 )
ATI RAdeon 7500
Sound Blaster Audigy DE
40gb Maxtor Harddisk
Liteon 16x10x40x cdrw
Liteon DVD rom

I have a similar problem with my KT3 Ultra aru RAID
I´we found the problem to be the memory, I had a Kingmax 256MB 333Mhz stick... everything OK.
then I added a second Kingmax stick and I got stuck with the same problems as you are having.
So I took back the kingmax and changed it to a A-data
Stick and got the same result, so yesterday I got fed up with this and got a SAMSUNG 512Mb 333Mhz stick and sold the Kingmax for 30€ (almost free)
I still got the same problem but I´m going to throw in a clean install of windows and I´m quite sure this will fix the problem.
My advice to everyone NEWER by KINGMAX. :O

KT3 Ultra 2 with Inno3d NVIDIA Geforce2 mx400 problems

Having multiple problems playing games.
Get this in event viewer (below) or the application will crash or get
DSOD.
STOP 0x0A, 0x01E, and 0x50 Errors. (IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)
Event Type: Error
Event Source: nv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 8
Date: 30/09/2003
Time: 10:33:43
User: N/A
Computer: HOMEPC
Description:
Idle Timeout Error Channel 00000001.
Some times it also complains about specific files such as ntoskernl.exe or nv4_disp.dll, but more often than not it wont complaine about files on the BSOD.
Tried all drivers and drivers from NVIDIA (including generic).
Read loads of forums about changing "Advanced Chipset features" in BIOS and
downloading the latest via chipset drivers and running 3dmark benchmarks which crashes to desktop eventually.
BIOS has been flashed with the latest from the website.
I have run system diagnostics to make sure memory / processor are not
faulty which they are not.
I have even re-installed my OS to make sure there are no corruption but I still get the same problems.
This happens on multiple games. I have also installed the NVIDIA version of
graphics card which I borrowed and had exactly the same problem.
Here is my PC details:-
AMD Athlon 2100XP
MSI - KT3 Ultra 2 motherboard.
Dane Elec 256mb DDR 2100 ram
120GB WD HDD
Inno3d NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX400 with 64MB
HP CDRW
DVD ROM
With a 400w power supply.
All my hardware is approved for use with AMD processors with higher spec's than mine.
Based on the fact that I have used another NVIDIA card in my PC plus rebuilding the OS, and got the same problems, I would say that there is a problem with the motherboard or BIOS settings.
I'm more inclide to think it the motherboard as I have tried lots and lots of variations.
Are there any tools to check the motherbaord?
Has anyone come across these problems? I know that the games themselves can sometimes cause these, but I have checked to make sure I have patches installed and checked forums to see if other people suffer the same thing. But they don't.
And 3dmark which crashes to the desktop whilst running through the tests must be another indication of problems. (Already checked for patches for 3dmark too)
I know this is a forum, but i can't seem to find an offical way to complain to MSI. If any one knows, please send us a link!

It looks as though this could be one of those classic cases where it could simply be overheating.
I purchased a AXP2100BOX product when I first built my PC. This is an AMD package that contains the processor and the heatsink.
However through my painstaking troubleshooting tactics, I think that the problem is where it overheats.
The reason that first lead me to think that it could be this is because I downloaded the MSI core centre application and click on the Auto button. By doing this, the software automatically overclocks the processor, bumping up the FSB slowly. Eventually, it blue screens. I read somewhere that this is normal, just restart and the MSI software will now know what limits there are for over clocking.
Well the error code that I got from the blue screen it produced, was not that different from the errors I get whist playing games.
IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
The error codes were different but it was still the same IRQ message.
So I had a look around on the web to find out as much as possible about AMD's overheating and stumbled across reviews for " AXP2100BOX ", the processor/heatsink box product. All the reviews I came across said that there was a problem with overheating. I did check out reviews before I purchased the box product, but at the time it was fairly new.
According to the AMD website, my processor is guaranteed to run up to 100'C.
Now my processor runs at about 65'C on load, BUT this reading is from the fan on top of the heatsink, not the processor itself.
So that's the theory so far. So can anyone recommend this biggest, bestest, and probably the most noisiest, heatsink you can buy.
I'm also looking into changing my case as there are some nifty air shifters out there.

Problems with KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E)..please help

Hey all-
Here is my system configuration:
MSI KT3 Ultra MS-6380E) motherboard
AMD Athlon 2100+ XP cpu
(2) 512mb PC2700 DDR ram (1 gig total)
(2) 120gb Western Digital 7200rpm Harddrives (240gb total)
Nvidia Geforce Ti 4600 video card
Creative Labs Sound blaster Audigy Platinum
LG 32x10x40 CDRW
16x DVD ROM
400 watt power supply
Here is my problem:
Just built the machine, checked every plug and everything and when I turn on the machine I got no screen, no post, no beeps, nothing.
So I turned the machine, and cleared the CMOS. Turned the machine back on and got post , went into the BIOS, set the time,date, yada yada, all the drives were detected fine. I went in the Frequency/Voltage Control screen and the "CPU FSB Clock" was set to 100 mhz, "CPU Ratio" was set to Auto as was the "CPU Voltage, DDR Voltage, and AGP Voltage". I saved settings and rebooted but then I didn't get a screen, no post, no beeps.
I tried clearing CMOS again, turned machine on, got back in the BIOS just fine. I tried setting the CPU FSB Clock to 133mhz and left everything else on Auto. Rebooted and once again ..nothing.. no screen.
I don't understand what the problem could be. It seems that I can only get a screen when I clear the CMOS. But even if i use the "Load BIOS Setup Defaults" or even the "Load High Performance Defaults" I still get no screen or anything when I reboot.
Can anyone help me here? I have never run into this before.
Thanks in advance!!
Joe

If it is only doing it when you turn your bus speed of 100 up to 133 for the xp processor then I have had the problem. If you are booting with a bad cpu that isn't working properly (can't run at 133) then the computer will not POST. As soon as you clear the cmos it sets the speed back down to 100 for failsafe. If you try to boot a duron processor like a 700 or something on fsb 133 then the motherboard won't post. Make sure you don't have a duron processor instead of a athlon xp or a bad cpu. I would recommend taking it to the place you bought it or else an autorized amd spot. They should be able to throw in another proc and check it out.

Odd video problem with KT3 Ultra 2-r and GeForce4Ti4400

I don't know if I should post this on the VIA forum or on the VGA forum, so I'm gonna post on both. sorry.
My system specs are on my signature, and anyways, here's my problem.
When I turn on my PC, the monitor shows jaggy white lines all over the screen (as if the refresh rate / resolution was too high) instead of showing the GeForce BIOS (right before the POST).
This is weird, since a year ago, when I got my MSI nForce/ MSI GeForce4 Ti4400, this wasn't a problem. And now I have KT3 Ultra 2 and MSI GeForce4 Ti4400 Chapmionship edition, and I do.
Not only that, but most of the times when I restart my PC, my monitor goes into POWER SAVING mode instead of showing the POST and Loading Windows screen.
I even try to go into the BIOS while the monitor is in powersave mode and it does go in, but the monitor is dead.
The monitor comes back to life as soon as it reaches the WindowsXP logon screen. But like I said, it goes into powersave mode as soon as I restart and until it reaches the WinXP logon screen.
I mean, this is a minor problem, but its a pain in the ass!!!!
Whenever I'm trying to tweak the BIOS, it will often times do this, and even if I turn the monitor off, unplug it from the PC, unplug it off the wall, when I plug it back in, it still is in powersaving mode, even though the PC is running.
HELP!

No, my Ti4400 is not the Champ ed. The actual model number on it is 8871 ver-1.00. You can read about my problem's in the "Have you seen this?....." thread on this forum (page 7 now I think)
I haven't had a problem in the last couple days though. I removed some Reg tweaks (this is a DAW box) and ....dont luagh, turned up the heat in my house. I'm not sure if it was the Reg edit or Temp, but things are working ATM.
Nice to know I'm not alone though,

KT3 Ultra USB D-Bracket problem

This is the problem: I connected the D-bracket to my KT3 Ultra board. But it doesn't work. Al least, none of the devices I connected to it (printer and camera) are found or seen by Windows. Windows does see a removable device but not the camera. Also the software I use for the camera can't find it. The bracket did work on a older board with Windows ME. But now it doesn't.
Do I oversee something?
Board: MSI KT3 Ultra (with latest BIOS revision)
OS: Windows XP home (with all the updates)

This is interesting. I have the same board, also running WinXP Professional with SP1 on it.
As long as I don't use a Bios later than Ver. 5.4 the USB ports work fine and connected devices are recognized and installed correctly.
However, installing any newer BIOS (5.5 - 5.7) will make the USB ports unusable. The (embedded) USB root ports stay installed or get automaticall re-installed when I remove them, but no device will be recognized and installed correctly any more. They will only be recognized as "unknown device" and that was it. When going back to BIOS 5.4, everything is ok again.
Since BIOS 5.6 is required to operate 2600+ processors this is extremely bad.
I would recommend that you try with an older BIOS (e.g. 5.4) and let me know whether you get the same results.
Heh...
I'v just gone through hell strugling with the USB on my KT3 Ultra under WinXP, untill I got here... fortunaltely. After I flashed my Amibios to 5.7 or something all USB went dead and I couldn't believe that updating something makes it worse... but guess thats the case. Well I'm happy they keep the older versions available but still these (known) bugs should be on somekind of messageboard so you woundn't have to search all places wrecking your nerve along on the process. In addition I'm not a big fan of flashing bios every now and then.. don't think u are either. I think This forum really helps people ....!!

Problems with kt3 ultra + radeon 9800pro

hey guys,
heres my story (bare with me)
i bought a radeon 9700 pro around christmas time, recieved it, (almost) everything worked fine on it, etc etc. however in games, it would give me this weird flickering poly thing going on (screenshot included) after seeing this, i stuck an extra fan in my case, thinking it was a heating issue. no worky. after that i just assumed the heatsink/fan wasnt securely on the chip. whatever.
anyway, i returned the vid card, got my money back and just decided to sit on the extra money for another couple of months and let prices drop a bit.
soooo i order myself a radeon 9800 pro this week. i get it today, and im getting the EXACT SAME PROBLEM. so obviously it wasnt a heat issue, it was.. something else.
this is where you come in anyone have ANY ideas why i would be having this problem? im attaching a screenshot i snagged of what the error looks like (if that will help at all)
i have already tried running driver cleaners, blah blah blah. i even reformatted and reinstalled windows on the drive, and im STILL having the same problem. not to mention i get occasional lockups and bluescreens.
ive tried flashing bios, updating mobo drivers nothing fixes it.
is this just some quirky incompatability between the mobo and the vid card or what? (i had a gf3ti200 in here before the 9800pro.. never had any problems)
so can anyone help or am i just going to have to buy a new motherboard?
msi kt3 ultra
512 pc2700 ram
80 gig wd
ati radeon 9800 pro

"DOS'ish" ?
start with flashing the latest mobo bios before you start if you haven't allready. I recommend stick with the 3.7 Cat driver (many people are reporting worse problems with the later rev Cat drivers) and follow these directions:
1) download and install the latest via driver (i know, you have it)
2) download and install latest soundblaster driver (if you are using a soundblaster audio card of course)
3) download and install catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
4) disable fast-write in bios (this was causing corrupted icons and cursor in windoze).
5) go to c:\programs\ati technology\ati control panel and execute smartgart (it's a link)
6) enable - pci read/write and agp read (probably allready is enabled).
7) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing lots of stability problems in games).
"apply", reboot, then "ok".
above solved all my probs w/9600 pro and msi kt3 ultra-aru
good luck!

KT3-Ultra 2-RAID Problems

I have had the KT3-Ultra 2 RAID for a few months now and have had no problems. But last night i went to a LAN Party and when i got back today and hooked up my computer and turn it on it would not boot. Nothing come up on the screen. When i turn it on the 4 lights in the back light 1&2 are red and 3&4 is green. I got it to come on once and it said cmos dump or somthing plesea enter set-up i did and had to reset the time and date and everything and reset and would not come back on blank screen (no singal) I changed the cmos battery still nothing. I took at all cards and hard drives and just put in cpu and RAM and video card and turned it on still nothing. Monitor still says no singal and i check cables and everything they work fine. Anyone have any ideas ??????

Hi sorry to but in! but where on earth are you moderators getting your info for PSU's from!
30A on 3.3V! I have an Antec case which isn't a cheap peice of crap and that only outputs 20A on 3.3V.
I had a look on the Antec site and even their Truepower 430Watt case only outputs 28A, and this PSU costs over £70.
You never get good PSU's & cases from shop bought machines from highstreet chaines, and they manage to power the mobo and gf4 cards okay?

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

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)

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 + All In Wonder Problem

I've got a odd problem that is related to putting my machine into Standby. If I do so the night before, then wake the system up in the morning I see issues that point to memory corruption or driver failure or a conflict with the VIA chipset. Outlook Express will lock up on launch, the ATI digital VCR app will either not launch or fail to shutdown if it does. I clean installed Windows XP, then updated it with XP SP1. Of note is that the video card works ok with the OS supplied driver but if you install the ATI drivers (which are needed to make the TV and Digital VCR work) this stuff happens. I have reinstalled several times so I am pretty sure this isn't just a messy config issue. I've had bad experiences similar to this with VIA chipset mobos in the past so this doesn't surprise me.
Anyone ever see this? Know of a fix?

I don't know if this will help or not but....
I had issues with the latest drivers from ATI. I downloaded the tv capture drivers, display drivers, etc. in the 7.7 bundle. I went back to the 7.6 bundle and have had zero problems since.

Still got kt3 ultra problem
