USB 2.0 Issues with KT3 Ultra2 6380E

Windows XP SP1
Bios: American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me?
My machine has six USB ports. (1&2) Two ports are
installed on the motherboard, and my users guide says
they are legacy ports. (3&4) two ports are installed
on the d-bracket 2 connector: JLED, connected to
JUSB2, these are what I believe to be my only 2 USB2.0
ports. (4&6)Finally 2 ports are connected via JUSB3 to
the front panel of my Antec case. I think the front
panel of my case has 1.1 connectors so it is
essentially a 1.1 port.
I am having some difficulty getting my USB ports to
function properly with a USB 2.0 Buslink hard drive
UII-40 72E. I suspect there is some IRQ conflict.
Trying to alleviate this I disabled all the device
drivers I suspected might cause this in the device
manager in safe mode. I then removed from the device
manager all the USB (2.0 and 1.1) root hubs, and after
that their host controllers. I then booted to VGA
mode (thinking this should disable the video card
drivers??) and exported this IRQ info from my sys info
after the USB host controllers are reinstalled:
Resource   Device   Status
IRQ 9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System   OK
IRQ 11   RADEON 8500 SERIES    OK
IRQ 21   VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
Controller   OK
IRQ 21   VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
Controller   OK
IRQ 21   VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
Controller   OK
IRQ 21   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller   OK
IRQ 0   System timer   OK
IRQ 8   System CMOS/real time clock   OK
IRQ 13   Numeric data processor   OK
IRQ 12   PS/2 Compatible Mouse   OK
IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2
Keyboard   OK
IRQ 14   Primary IDE Channel   OK
IRQ 15   Secondary IDE Channel   OK
IRQ 6   Standard floppy disk controller   OK
Next I attempt to (already plugged into D-Bracket
port) power on my buslink USB 2.0 hard drive. As soon
as I do the machine immediately goes to a blue screen.
No messages given but numbers are shown. I have screen
shots taking with my digital camera. I then returned
to safe mode, remove the USB drivers as I did before,
and boot to VGA mode. Once the USB drivers have been
restored I attempt to power on the bus link hard drive
this time plugged into the onboard legacy ports. I
can I get another blue screen this time including a
message "IRQL not less or equal", again I have taken
screen shots with my digital camera.I then returned to
safe mode, remove the USB drivers as I did before, and
boot to VGA mode. Once the USB drivers have been
restored I attempt to power on the bus link hard drive
this time plugged into the front panel USB ports
(4&6). When I power it on Windows XP warns me that I
have a high-speed USB device plugged into a non
high-speed USB hub. But I receive no error messages.
However I do not exceed the drive through "my
computer". I go through the add hardware wizard to try
and at the drive manually and it says the device is
working properly. Still I do not see the drive.
Finally I tried installing a Buslink USB 2.0 PCI card
after the above steps. I then returned to safe mode,
remove the USB drivers as I did before, and boot to
VGA mode. Once the USB drivers have been restored I
attempt to power on the bus link hard drive this time
plugged into the PCI card. The drive seems to be
recognized automatically by Windows XP however my
system slows to a crawl trying to access any hard
drive. When I try and access the USB 2.0 hard drive I
get a message something to the effect of "(the drive
letter) not being recognizable".
Any ideas on what could be causing this? The same
Buslink hard drive works great at work on my Windows
2000 machine plugged into the same PCI card using the same USB cable and power supply. Would any other information be useful?
Thanks!

I first tried installing the VIA4in1 and VIA USB2.0 patch. Then I tried the D-bracket after refreshing the usb drivers (I did not disable all other devices like in my original post, should I have?). Same result, blue screen crash at power on.
Next I disable USB ports in BIOS and install USB PCI card. Then power on the USB HD plugged into card. Same result. Computer slow accessing local drives. When I try to access the USB drive I get a "E:/ is not accessible; the file or data is corrupted or unreadable."
Next I remove the USB card. I enter BIOS and set to "2" ports. Presumably this turns on the USB1.1 ports on the mobo. I return to windows xp. It now seems to install the drivers, but just as it finishes I get a "a problem has been encountered instaaling this device (it has done this before but after finishing I get the blue screen most times). Next I goto the device manager, and in my USB devices I have a USB mass storage device w/ a yellow flag. I goto properties and see a:
"the device cannot start (code 10)" device status. I click "troubleshoot" and voila... blue screen.
Finally I reboot, and set 4 ports in BIOS, making my JUSB3 FRONT PANEL usb1.1? ports active. Interestingly these respond like the PCI card. Computer slow accessing local drives. When I try to access the USB drive I get a "E:/ is not accessible; the file or data is corrupted or unreadable." As soon as I power off the USB HD things are normal...
I will take this USB HD to work tomorrow just to ensure its integrity. Any other ideas? What kinds of BIOS settings might F up USB?

USB 2.0 issue with sleep mode--help!

hey there,
so i've searched this forum's board and found that it seems quite a few people have had issues with USB 2.0 and sleep mode on the mac. most of what i read, however, comes from people not being able to put the computer to sleep once new USB 2.0 cards or devices are installed. that is not the problemm I seem to be having, but is this:
I recently purchased a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card, and installed it on my MAC G4 tower. It seemed to work ok for a little while, but then i noticed that AFTER i put the computer to sleep, when it 'awakens' from slumber, it no longer reads the USB devices. if the device was plugged in prior to sleep mode, it sometimes reads ok. but if I try and plug in a new USB device, such as an iPod or flash drive, no dice. it doesn't mount on the Mac.
I called Belkin tech support, and they were very helpful, but told me that the macs have had issues powering the USB PCI card once the computer is in sleep mode. they even directed me to an apple support page that has downloads that seem to address this, but they're for 10.0-10.0.4. I don't want to download that onto my mac (10.3.9) cuz im worried it might screw something up on my OS.
I would LOVE a download link for a software updater for this if someone knows where it is, otherwise, I may have to return this thing to Belkin and go with a more mac-friendly brand. so im open to that possibility, too.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
cheers,

I would either complain to Belkin for a fix if there is one or return the card and try a different one. You should not have the problem, but Belkin USB hubs and cards appear to have more problems like yours than other manufacturers' products.
You might try Sonnet's Tango FW400/USB 2.0 multi-card, for example, or Firewire Direct's 6-port FW800/USB 2.0 card.

Measurement Computing USB-DIO96H driver issue with Labview 2012 SP1 on Windows 7 x64

Is anyone else having issues with measuremetn Computing's USB-DIO96H driver in Labview 2012 SP1. It throws warnings in Labview when loaded that are unresolvable as you can't save to the DLL driver file. Also it regularily crashes Labview randomly. I am not impressed with their driver. Anyone have any suggestion other than replacing with NI-DAQ solution, which I am working on?

I've taken a look and I don't see any drivers available for that device on ni.com. There are two potential workarounds that would both involve building your own driver:
1. Write a LabVIEW application that calls functions on the DLL you downloaded from Measurements Group
2. Write a LabVIEW application that addresses the device using NI-VISA and serial communication.
Some resources if you choose to go down that path:

Boot up Delay with KT3 Ultra2

My configuration:
Windows XP
MSI KT3 Ultra2 (Non Raid) MB
AMD XP 2100+
256meg PC2600 Ram
Advansys ABP940UW Ultrawide SCSI card
Intel 10/100 Network card
Using Onboard sound
Matrox Millinium PCI Graphics card (Temporary)
3x Ultra wide scsi Hard drives
Plextor Ultraplex40 Wide cdrom
Panasonic 7502B CDR
During bootup the machine goes thropugh the post screen 100% after which the scsi bios screen appears as usual. After this I hear another beep followed by 30sec to 1 minute of black screen after which the PC boots normally. I am thinking it may be some incompatability with the scsi card but can't be sure. The 4 green indicator lights are glowing indicating a good startup but why the pause??? Windows then boots and runs normally.

I'm assuming this is a raid board right? the raid bios initialization is REALLY slow, so that's my best guess, or possibly a driver causing it, I loaded the via raid patch fix and it slowed down my boot process but not by 5-10 seconds.

Mighty mouse usb and wireless issues with OSX 10.6.1

Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.1 I have experienced intermittent mighty mouse issues with both the USB and wireless mouse. Essentially the mouse works as a pointer. However, I cannot select anything or use the mouse buttons. I need to re-start the machine in order to get it to work properly again. Anyone else had this issue or have suggestions for fixing it?

Pushing the power button briefly on my iMac turns off the display and stops the hard drive running (both my internal and external drive). Pushing it briefly again brings everything back up in about 2 seconds - it's not a full startup. That's why I call it "sleep" - cause that's what it seems to be doing.

Mobile 2500 overclocking problems with KT3 Ultra2

First off sorry for my poor english.. it's not my first language. Now here's my system:
CPU: Mobile 2500
HSF: Vantec Aeroflow with AS5
MB: MSI KT3 Ultra2
RAM: 2x512MB PC2700
VIDEO: Leadtek GeForce 4 TI4200
The temperature is about 43C cpu and 40C case when the system is idle and it can get to 50C cpu and 43C case when the system is on maximum use.
So here's the situation... I adjust the bus speed from 133 to 166 mhz.. I put the vcore voltage at 1.675 which is the maximum I can choose in the bios.. The multiplier is stuck on 14x.. When I try to run Prime95 or 3dmark03 my system is very unstable.. In prime95, one time it stopped after 10 minutes, the other time after 40 minutes. In 3dmark03, I tried it at least five times and it usually stops during the second run of the tests.
I'm very disappointed because I read a lot about this cpu before buying it and everyone was overclocking it easily so I had no doubt it would get to 166 mhz especially with proper cooling.. It sucks pretty bad!
I hope some of you have some advices or suggestions on what I could try to make it work.. You are my last hope! Thanks in advance!!

Here comes another update... Keep in mind that my cpu is currently at 14x166=2337 mhz. I did some benchmark today and the results are starting to give me hope.. first I ran Prime95 for 14 hours without errors on the custom test with 2048-4096. During this testing, the voltage went like this: 3.3V = 3.22V , 5V = 4.95V , 12V = 12.28V. Is it normal? Does it mean my power supply is good enough? The specifications of the Power supply are : 3.3V-20A , 5V-30A , 12V-15A. After that I ran all 3dmark03 tests three times without any glitches.. Then I played Far cry for about 20-30 minutes without any problems either.
Now what I'm wondering is if I run Prime95 without any problems but that 3dmark03 works sometimes and fail sometimes, can it help you guys to tell me what could be causing the instability?
Thank you again for all your help!

Problems posting with KT3 Ultra2 Motherboard

I just purchased a MSI KT3 Ultra2 ATX motherboard as an upgrade. After
installing it an all the components, I had difficulty booting at
times. I would get boot error beeps, specifically two short ones, than
8 long ones. The D-Bracket would initialize, however it would stop and
fail at "Boot Attempt" - the first D-Bracket 2 light is lit up red.
I though I had a problem with the power supply, which was 250 watts,
so I changed it to another one. I was able to boot up the system a
couple of times just fine (get to the bios screen and past it),
install the OS, however after turning it off and trying to turn it
back on, it would not work. After I changed the power supply the
problem was constant and now i cannot even get to the bios screen at
all. Before when the system was running it was fine, no errors and I
kept it on for about 10 hours with no problems at all.
My other specs include:
Antec 300 watt ATX (with 12V thing for P4, but not attached)
MSI Geforce4 mx440 card
512 Meggs Samsung 2700 SRAM 1-dimm
IBM ATA66 Hard drive
Floppy drive
Athlon XP 1800+ Boxed (using the retail CPU fan)
Now every once in a while I get to the bios screen after which the system runs fine, but most of the time I get these beeps. I tried moving around everything and the system is barebone.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,
George

Hi,
Read the top articles on trouble shooting....
Anyway, it could still be your PSU, borrow one from a friend and try again.....

USB External Drive issue with 10.5.7

Just as infos : i have experienced a weird issue regarding my external USB Lacie Drive. It has been recognise by 10.5.7 as a SAMSUNG drive. I use this external drive with time Machine for backup. Everything dispite that seems to work, but can't take the risk as i didn't noticed improvement in my system of Logic with the new OS, i have decide to downgrade.

thank you everybody for your replies, but as i said i went back to 10.5.6 and everything works perfectly here. Yes under USB (system profiler) the drive is well recognise by the system, it's only under 10.5.7 that that drive was listing as a SAMSUNG. Anyway, i will give another try to 10.5.7 in few weeks, as i am in a middle of the projet (CD for a local artist), it might be wise i stay under 10.5.6 as it works well on my system.
PS (as i said earlier the drive was working well under 10.5.7 but just listed as a Samsung drive). I am not be the only one ?

Thank you!
Looks a bit like one of my own systems, so it is thus near perfection. However, I don't have a SoundBlaster any longer, and I don't have two floppy drives. Is the IDE configuration working flawlessly?
While waiting for the PSU figures I'd like to take half a step in a funny direction. Perhaps it can do some good to someone sometime, though I'm not sure it will be so for you.
What device do you put in the USB port? Is it flash drive, card reader or some other storage unit? Then you could try this I read in PCPro:
How to force a drive letter onto the device (WindowsXP I believe)
Go to Start | All programs | Administrative tools and select Computer managment. Then select Disk managment, found in Storage area. Right click the drive and 'Choose drive letters...' from the pop-up menu. Of course you need to select an ununsed drive letter.
In same way works a BIOS trick to choose 'Assign IRQ for USB' in BIOS. But I'm not sure it works with our AMI versions.

USB flash drive issue with photoshop.

For some reason when i try to save .psd files from photoshop CS3 to my usb flash drive I always get The disk is full error, even when the disk is empty. I try to save to the disk, and I can save to the desktop but cannot drag and drop it in. It's a 1 gig flash drive.

Hi Skwertz: Have you tried plugging in the USB Flash drive and emptying the trash? Just be sure that the items in the trash are really meant to be thrown out.
Good Luck

Upstart problem with kt3 ultra2

When i turn the power on my computer it wont start properly.
I hear 4 "beeps" and my screen is still black.
I have to turn off and on my computer about five to ten times before it starts properly. :O
When it starts up it works fine ?( and i can use it as normal.

According to http://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/sys/beep/ami.htm, this is a System Timer failure. You might also try removing and reseating the RAM.

KT3-Ultra2 (MS-6380E) PC3200

Okey once again problem with this board!
I decided to upgrade the comp a bit.
From Barton XP2500+ to Barton XP3000+
From 3x256MB DDR PC2700 to 2x512MB PC3200
Now ofc I know the board only supports 333MHz FSB.
I need the FSB to be 166MHz(x2=333MHz) for the Barton to run at the proper speed, I have never been able to get the multiplier to work, probably cause the CPU is locked.
Now the newly bought PC3200 refuses to run at a lower speed then 200MHz(x2=400MHz), No matter what I do, User settings, set SPD to HCLOCK. Dosn't matter. As soon as I insert a third DIMM, a PC2700 they obey my rules and works fine at 333MHz, but this board, cant handle 3 DIMMs at 333MHz, running MEMtest86, phat chance.
Using one of the PC3200 with the PC2700 works fine.
Using the second PC3200 with the PC2700 works fine.
But I cant set it up to work with only the two PC3200 cause they wont run at 333MHz, and I cant have all 3 DIMMs cause the board gives me the finger.
Ive also tried using one of the PC3200 and two PC2700, same thing, 3 DIMMs dosnt work.
So my question is, how can I force my PC3200 to run on 166MHz(x2=333MHz)?
Mainboard MSI KT3-Ultra2 (6380E ver1.0 with BIOS 5.7)
CPU AMD Barton XP3000+ (333MHz version)
Graphic-card Powercolor ATI Radeon 9800 PRO (No OC atm)
PSU Chieftec (HPC-360-202) 340W, 5V 35A, 3.3V 28A, 12V 17A.
Whole bunch of memories that pass the test when set up properly
4x512MB DDR PC3200 TwinMOS (matched 2 and 2)
2x256MB DDR PC2700 Nanya (matched)
1x256MB DDR PC2700 KVM

Frobe, lets be clear about this. Your rig ran fine with the set up which you described namely 2500 barton and 3x256mb pc2700 Ram. Is that correct?.
You now upgraded to xp3000 (in you sig you say xp3200) and are now using 2 sticks of pc3200 ram. Is this now correct?
With the new cpu and ram your rigs posts and works but you say that your new memory is detected at 400. Where is this showing 400 are you looking in the Bios and it shows HClck+33? Or is this by way of some software utility.
This board can only handle 333 mem by default, I have pc3200 mem in my pc (see my sig) and the bios runs it at HClck speed. There is no Hclck+33 option available.
This board is fussy about all 3 ram slots being used slots 1&3 work best as slots 1 & 2 share the MA channel to the northbridge whereas slot 3 uses the MB channel.
Try Running Fast command at 'Normal' (in advanced chipset>dram control) if you are not already.
You should have no trouble whatsoever running an xp3000 (333) together with pc3200 memory as described. The only reason I have only 1 stick of 512mb in my pc is that I dual boot with windows 98se and it does not work (with98) otherwise have run 1gb of ram with no issues.
What I would also suggest is that you clear the bios and check the clear nvram in the bios as well as follow Fredrik Åsenius advise namely to change the mem from spd to user.
Hope this helps

KT3 Ultra2, XP2200+ lock up problems.

Hello there, I am having a lock up problem with my PC.
System Info;
MSI KT3 Ultra2 (6380E) (Non RAID)
Athlon XP 2200+ (.013 micron TB)
Enermax 350 Watt PS
Samsung PC2700 DDR (512MB)
Thermaltake Volcano 7 CPU cooler
Nvidia Riva TNT2 Ultra
And I am running Windows 2000 PRO.
Bios shows to be version 1 (I don't know how to check the version correctly) FSB is set to 133mhz. The PC runns stabile when set to 100mhx FSB, but when swithed back to 133, It locks while trying to run programs such as Norton AV 2003 , or SETI@home. Have not tried gaming yet do to this problem. Note too that in WIndows system info, processor shows to be AMD 1800+. Any advice would be greatly appriciated!! Thanks!! Jeepin_247 ;(

Those temps are definitly getting high. I can loop 3dmark for an hour and still only get up to about 43 c. If I understand you correctly you are running your cooler without and gease or thermal pad between your cpu die and cooler. That can definitly cause problems with heat transfer. I imagine your temperatures are continuing to rise a little causing lock ups. Apply some grease when you get it and your temps should drop a bit. A lot of people swear by artic silver. I am just using the standard gease that came with my cooler and it is working fine. I would probally use the artic silver if I started overclocking though.
There is a good sticky for bios settings in the MSI section at http://www.amdforums.com There sight is down right now so I can't provide the link. The setting are for the KT3-aru but they are good for the KT3 Ultra2.
Good Luck.

KT3 Ultra2 won't POST D-Bracket RRGG

Greetings.
I have read many similar posts but nothing I have done works so far. I have a new KT3 Ultra 2 that I have never been able to get to boot. The D-Bracket ~always~ shows Red Red Green Green, regardless of what is in the board: nothing, just RAM, just CPU, Ram+CPU, Ram+CPU+Video. I have tried swapping out processors, ram, video.
Background - I had an Asus A7M-266D dual MP 1600 machine that just gave out last week. I was in the middle of using it and it shutdown After switching some dip switches on the board to force a 133mhz bus I was able to get back up and into the BIOS. It died a couple minutes later and I was never abe to revive it. I figured it was the motherboard, as I have heard about troubles with them, so I ordered the KT3 Ultra 2.
When I got the mobo it wouldn't POST. I went and got new RAM and a new CPU (after the new RAM didn't help.) I have essentially replaced my entire computer and I haven't gotten the new config to boot. I would love to hear any suggestions you might have.
Here are the detailed specs:
Mobo: KT3 Ultra2 (6380E) - w/audio, no LAN or RAID
CPU: Either one of 2 MP1600+ (dual machine) or a brand new XP2000+
Heatsink: one of 2 Thermalright AX-7 w/Vantec Stealth 80mm fans
RAM: 256mb K-Byte PC2100 (new) or 512mb Kingston PC2100 (from dual machine)
Video: Either AGP ATI Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO (7200) or PCI Matrox MY220 (and others tried)
Power Supply: SkyHawk SH-400A8H 400W +5DC 40A 3.3VDC 28A no combined wattage but calculated ~195W combined from the ((5x40A+3.3x28A)/3)x2 formula listed in one of the threads.
I have switched out parts and reseated everything multiple times. The D-bracket always shows R R G G as soon as the power comes on. I have tried clearing the CMOS but it doesn't seem to help.
I know that other people had similar problems and solved them by replacing parts - but I have pretty much replaced everything at this point (with the exception of the power supply.)
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

And the power supply folks win again. I didn't have another power supply rated for this machine - only some old 200 and 235 W power supplies that rate 10-14A on 3.3 and 20 A on +5. But when I tried to use it I at least got different results - I powered up until I hit R G G G (Boot Attempt) when I got some BIOS beeps (not sure which ones right now - but most likely related to having way too little power).
Sorry I didn't try that earlier before posting - I figured the PS was very unlikely to have gone bad in such a short period (new with case in May).
After I get a properly rated PS I'll post again (hopefully with all problems solved).
Thanks
