[VIA] KT6 Delta (MS-6590) with GeForce FX won't boot

Hi, I have an MSI KT6 Delta motherboard and a XP2000 processor, I've been using this with an ATI 9600 All in Wonder graphics card for about a year. I've just bought an Inno3D Tornado GeForce FX 256Mb graphics card. I uninstalled all ATI software with their uninstall utility, shutdown, swapped graphics cards and rebooted. The system did not boot - no beeps (I usually get 1 beep). Looking at my PSU I found it was a 300W PSU and the specs for the GeForce stated it required a 350W PSU. So, I bought a Q-Tec 550W PSU and installed it and tried booting, same result, no beeps, no VGA signal, I can here the fans working but nothing else happens. The D-Bracket on the rear of the PC has all four LED's on in Red. This means there's a problem with the CPU, but if I take the GeForce card out and replace the ATI card, system boots fine (although poor graphics as there are no drivers) I am using 3 memory sticks - 2 bought at the same time and 1 I added later - all 3 have been working fine with the ATI. They are 2 X 256Mb and 1 X 512Mb not sure of the makes and I see from the other posts I should see if the GeForce will work with just one memorey module in place, I'll try that later. When I checked the BIOS with the ATI installed I noticed under AGP settings it only allowed me to select 1X 2X 4X - I don't see Auto as an option as it says I should in the manual. I had all the AGP settings set to disabled with the ATI card i.e. AGP Master 1 W/S Read and Write and AGP Synchronization all disabled - so I tried enabling them, no change. Made sure primary display is set to VGA/EGA. The card has multi monitor support and I've tried my monitor on both the DVI output and the VGA output using the correct adaptor, I've also tried hooking up the Svideo as thats got me out of trouble before, but not in this case.
I'm out of ideas now, do these symptoms point to a problem, does the four LED's indicating CPU failure mean anything else?
Any suggestions?

Hi everyone
I'm releived to read the greyed out AGP option is normal.
Hi Frederick! -  When I put the Disks and HD's back I was very careful to ensure they went back correctly although I did swap my DVD and CD around to different Master Slave positions on the same IDE. I keep my Master Slave HD's on the Primary IDE on the basis that when your burning it better to have the data on a different IDE (secondary) so there's no access issues between the burner and data retrival from the HD - which I guess is what your refering to about the install medium being on the same IDE as the HD. I didn't think about being able to change the AGP but looking at the options I don't think I can, if I remember correctly I could with my ATI card. But as long as its all running correctly its ok.
And the final update to all this -
After installing Linux I was sure there was nothing wrong my hardware but couldn't understand why windows wouln't install.
For no particular reason I ran RegClean,rebooted and tried the install again, this time I didn't lose graphics, so I defraged and installed the motherboard drivers, after rebooting I lost the graphics again. Video was still there as before with my LCD delivering a resolution notifier that 1024 X 768 was optimal resolution - so video was present. Thinking I couldn't continue I pressed CTRL ALT DEL a few times to try and restart but then the Windows welcome screen apeared followed by the desktop.So I tried re running RegClean again and rebooted but I still lost the graphics on loading, CTRL ALT DEL bought it back again. I decided to keep going on the basis a complete but flawed install was better than none. I continued and installed Direct X9 defraged and rebooted, no change. I installed the graphics driver, no change after reboot but CTRL ALT DEL bought up welcome screen and then desktop as before. Then I installed Service Pack 2, defraged and rebooted and this time I didn't lose graphics when window was loading, no need for CTRL ALT DEL anymore. I kept going and finished the install without losing the graphics anymore and it all seems stable. NTL went down again in my area at midday when I finished so I've been unable to post this last bit until now.
If anyone can explain what happened here I would be grateful. I understand the faulty cards were faulty so thats that - but why did I lose graphics until service pack 2, why did pressing CTRL ALT DEL a few times bring it back? Is it possible my systen broke the graphics cards? Is this an issue I can avoid somehow in the future during new installs on this machine? (should and when the need arises) Was it a mistake to update the VIA chipset drivers before I started all this?
Thanks again for all the help.

  • KT6 Delta MS-6590 problem

    Hello
    I can't set the FSB speed to 166 on my AMD Barton 2500 as it should be after updating BIOS and mainboard drivers. It started like this:
    Yesterday I decided to add 512MB RAM to the 1GB RAM I already had. I soon discovered, that I had to update my BIOS in order to make it work (I got the "Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: ...ntoskrnl.exe" error during boot).
    I updated the BIOS and now I could use 1,5GB RAM - cool....except the CPU FSB Clock speed was now down to 100Mhz. The multiplier (CPU Ratio) was 11, I discovered that by using an analysing program when using Windows. So basically I was running 1,1GHz instead of 1,8GHz as I did before.
    I tried to adjust the CPU FSB Clock and the multiplier, but then I couldn't boot right.
    Then I started to install the latest mainboard drivers, just to see if that helped, it didn't.
    I need help to resolve this. There has to be a nasty bug in the latest BIOS driver and/or mainboard drivers. I need to run 1,8Ghz, but I cant.
    My pc:
    AMD Barton 2500 CPU
    MSI KT6 Delta MS-6590 mainboard
    3 times Kingston PC3200/400 DDR 512MB RAM
    Sapphire Radeon 9600 graphics card
    Regards
    JCN

    I still can't change CPU FSB Clock speed to 166Mhz, but can to 110Mhz though, didn't try to set CPU Ratio again, last time I had to set the jumper on the mainboard to make it work.
    What I have done now is to manually tell BIOS what RAM I have, I set it to 400Mhz with latency 3, when it boots it shows 266Mhz though. My RAM modules are Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512.
    My PSU is 350W (wasn't sure about the amps, so I didn't write those), and is in a AOpen H600 housing (ATX): http://www.aopen.nl/products/housing/H600series.htm
    I haven't tried memtest86 yet, seems a bit too much trouble to need to burn a ISO cd to make the test. I have testet my RAM using CheckIt Diagnostics after I manually set the data, I can pass the test now, so RAM seems to be ok. Must be that darn BIOS software that messes things up.

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

  • [VIA] KT6 Delta hangs when I install SATA disk

    I've had a lot of problems with my PC - maybe related to the mobo, maybe not. I have a KT6 Delta LSR - and was running XP SP2 with a SATA disk on it. Not RAID - just standalone. It ran OK for about 4 months, then it crashed hard. For the last two weeks I'm trying to get my system back, but its not looking good. I think the CPU or mobo overheated - it was running about 62C - then I installed a new CPU fan and tried to render a DVD when it locked up and apparently wrecked my disk. I bought a brand new SATA disk and a new IDE disk. I installed XP fresh on the IDE disk. That runs OK. I removed the "old" disk (4 months old) from the system and installed a brand new SATA disk. But when I install the VIA SATA drivers, XP falls apart. By that I mean it can take up to 45 minutes to boot up (with an Athlon 3000+, 1Gb memory) and it acts VERY sluggish when I do finally get in.
    I don't know what to do. I'd like to try to recover data from my "old" disk to the new SATA disk, but the SATA drivers make working in XP impossible. I have bought a new motherboard - an ABIT board that supports SATA, but I hate to go to the trouble of replacing the mobo, if the problem is with SATA. Maybe SATA is not ready for general use yet? Is it still being developed and maybe it is generally unstable? As long as I'm, with IDE, everything seems stable. What should I do to get data off my SATA drive? I'm sorry I ever went SATA, that's for sure. Never again.
    Should I install XP on the new SATA drive like I did back in May and see if I can get data off the "old" drive - then maybe copy it to a network location somewhere? I have two fairly new 250 Gb. SATA drives that are basically useless. Unbelievable.

    I did not change the CPU. Just the CPU's fan. I did not reset the CMOS after doing that. I have a Thermaltake power supply and 1GB of  Corsair DDR 4000 - 2x512mb.
    In another post, I found a link to a post at Western Digital where WDC claims that the disk I have is the next generation of SATA and may not be compatible with the chipset in the MSI motherboard. They recommend to jumper two pins on the disk to help out. The only thing is that my WDC disk has been running OK since May and is the one that recently crashed. I bought a Seagate SATA disk to try to restore my system to, but whenever I hook up the Seagate, the system takes over an hour to boot up. Without the Seagate it takes a few minutes. I think that maybe the Seagate is also too new for this motherboard.
    I don't know how the consumer is supposed to know if a disk is compatible with a motherboard. I bought a SATA disk to use in a SATA equipped motherboard. Apparently newer versions of SATA are not backwards compatible but there is no easy way to know this in advance or to find out if your disk will work.
     

  • Component F5 on KT6 delta MS 6590 is burned

    Hello all,
    I have tried to restart a systrem using an old KT6 Delta and I have found out that component F5 is burned.
    I would like to know what exactly is F5 (a fuse ?) and with what can I replace it, as it is now, the board boots but the graphics display are not working, maybe F5 is a fuse controlling the power supply to the video board ?
    Thanks for thelp, besides that is there a place to download the schematic from this board ? I don't care about the manual, I'd like the schematics from the board, it would be VERY easy to fix my board with this document.
    Many thanks

    Welcome!
    You have to ask MSI-staff for that, I'm afraid. Can't reach their site right now, but here is a link to main site: http://www.msi.com.tw
    To be honest, I'd advice against the work you are planning:
    1 A socketA mobo is cheap nowadays. It'll amount to less than your work and new parts, etc.
    2 One component burnt mostly means there is or has been some abuse, and like bricks in a domino game other components might follow the F5. - Or already has!

  • Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

    I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

    Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

  • Need Help with iMac 350 - Won't boot - keyboard or mouse not working!

    Hello,
    I've scoured the web looking for answers, and can't find any, so maybe someone here would be kind enough to help. I'm working on an imac 350 blueberry for my sister and I'm having all sorts of trouble.
    She bought it last week, it started up (8.6 os) no problem. Powered up and down a few times, then all of a sudden, it won't boot. I'm currently getting blinking folder/happymac/question mark when trying to start up.
    Here's the big problem - the keyboard and mouse do not work now. I've tried three different mice and three keyboards and no dice with any of them. I have the 8.6 CD from her previous imac (bondi), and I can hear it spinning, but there is no way to start up from cd.
    I've also tried 2 other hard drives with the same results.
    Tried resetting CUDA on logic board, taking out battery, no change. Bought new battery- no change.
    I would love to at least get the keyboard working to see if I can even startup from cd, anyone have any clues on how to get it working? The strange thing is that the keyboard has a power on button, and it works to start the thing up, but dies when it tries to boot. Sometimes I just get a grey screen with the pointer icon, and I can move the pointer with the mouse for a second or two, then no response.
    I appreciate any help or suggestions on locating the issues!
    Thank you!

    When I said "but dies when it tries to boot" and "..then no response." I meant that the keyboard works to power up the computer, but won't work for anything else. So, I am figuring that the usb ports are supplying power to the keyboard and mouse, but the usb ports aren't relaying information from the keyboard or mouse.
    How do you know the mouse isn't working? Won't you have to wait until later in the boot to tell?
    The poweron key is a special case. I think that it works by lowering/changing the voltage on one of the usb cables. I read about this somewhere. Anyway, this function was eliminated from later usb keyboards and macs. Maybe a working power button doesn't mean what you think.
    I would love to boot into open firmware
    Could you try powering up from the machine? Is there a power button on the lower right of the machine?
    Have you tried this key combo?
    commandoption+of
    The letters are in lower case. Hold all down then poweron the machine. I'd poweron from the machine as apposed to the keyboard.
    You could try another usb keyboard.
    We actually did boot up the computer several times with it upside down. Not for any reason, except it's become a real PIA to flip it over every two minutes to start it, then take it apart and boot again. When booting either upside down or right side up it shows the same thing - blinking folder w/finder icon and question mark.
    Yes, I agree. You could try removing the clear plastic around the bottom of the machine. At least you will not have to slide in the carriage. Note. The tv portion will still be surrounded by plastic! Don't remove the plastic around the tv!
    Hope I am not interfering with Richard and his comments.
    Richard: Is this the orginal keyboard? When did Apple get rid of the poweron key from the keyboard? My iMac 600 didn't have the key and my iMac 233 does.

  • 2nd HDD bay with HDD = notebook won't boot with HDD in 2nd HDD bay

    I recently came into a Pavilion DV9308 Notebook. It was in decent shape, well looked new and since I like tinkering with laptops and the motherboard had the dreaded NVIDIA GPU failure going on, I sent the motherboard out to my motherboard dude and he put a newer NVIDIA video chip in, made some adjustments and modifications to the heatsink cooler etc. Along with my modifications including vent holes and sealing up the fan blowing assembly so when the fan turned on the hot air would leave the laptop it now runs Windows 7 64 bit with a 64GB Kingston OS SSHD and 4GB DDR2 800mhz ram. It runs like lightning and impresses people when they see it boot up in 15 seconds.
    The problem is and the whole reason I picked this notebook to restore is because it has two acutal hard drive bays. Well ever since I've gotten the notebook It will not boot with a hard drive in both bays or a hard drive in Bay #2. I had to send the repaired motherboard back once because one of the ram slots wasn't working so this is happening on two different motherboards. I cannot find a reason why this is happening and have yet to find anyone that can help me with this. Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I have all the correct drivers I think and the laptop runs at 130"F when pushed to the max! That is amazing compared to what it originally ran. It would be awesome if someone could please help me with this. Thanks.

    Hello jason9922.  I understand your notebook won't boot with a hard drive in the second bay.
    When you say that the notebook won't boot with a drive in the second bay what exactly do you mean?  Does the CAPS LOCK key flash or do you get an error?
    When you have the hard drive installed can you access the BIOS?  If so, is the hard drive detected within the BIOS?
    I'll keep an eye out for your response.  Have a great day!
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
    Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

  • Mac Mini with Striped RAID won't boot

    Hello all,
    I have a Mac Mini Server which I've installed Lion (not server!) on.  I set it up with a striped RAID (two internal 500GB HDDs) and it worked great for weeks until I shut it down for the first time.  Now it won't boot back up... I just get the Apple logo and the spinning wheel.  When I boot off a rescue drive, I don't see any errors related to the RAID.  It just says it's "Online."  None of the buttons for things like Verify and Repair seem to do anything when I click them.
    When I hold down option upon turning the power on, I see "RAID 1" and "RAID 2."  I don't know where those names came from, they aren't anything I set during the Lion install and RAID setup.  I've tried selecting both, and all I see is the Apple logo and spinning wheel.
    I'm hoping some of you have ideas!  I also tried holding down the power button until the Mini rebooted itself, but that has not helped.

    Hi, I think you'll have to Install Lion again to an external drive, or even a big enough Flash Drive to get any further.

  • KT6 Delta MS-6590

    Hello
    Is there anybody here with this board and is running 3200cpu(400Mhz)
    thx
    mick

    Have you upgraded?! Looks real smart!
    As this isn't an overclock forum, I'll just say
    at least BIOS 5.5,
    FSB200,
    DDR AUTO,
    AGP AUTO,
    all USB devices enabled,
    a thrillingly good PSU as some say you have ,
    VIA 4in1 drivers installed while in SafeMode,
    no SoundBlaster - isn't necessary and mess things up usually,
    CDRW(?) as Master on secondary IDE(slot 2), system disk as Master on primary IDE(slot1),
    a well read manual,
    and no MSI utilities installed.
    I'd also suggest a big case or a door fan to keep things cool.
    I'll even stretch to say I found it more efficient with High performance defaults in BIOS.

  • KT6 Delta (MS-6590 V2) hangs @ Testing VGA BIOS

    Hiya,
    My sons machine has been running extremely well for about 4 months or so but started playing up a couple of days ago - to put it simply, the display would corrupt, produce a chequerboarding (usually pink and green) effect and occasionally blank out altogether :(
    Eventually, the machine refused to start at all - I checked the D-Bracket and it showed that the machine was hanging at the Testing VGA BIOS stage.
    We replaced the motherboard and the machine is now fine. My question is simple really - the components that were used with the MSI board are now in use with the replacement board so that shows that they are OK so, what could cause the MSI board to hang at this stage ? Is it the board thats faulty ? It`s only about 5 months old and has performed flawlessly until now.

    iCloud does not back up a Mac. "MacKeeper" is a scam. Apparently you have no backups at all, which means that you're in immediate danger of losing your data, if it hasn't already happened.
    If you want to preserve the data on the startup drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • Mac Mini stuck with windows install, won't boot from OSX DVD

    Ok, I just bought this mac mini from ebay, yeah i know but it was cheap. I got it and it came with windows xp installed. I thought ok, I will just pop in my snow leopard disk and get rid of windows. so i put in retail new copy of snow leopard in the drive, shutdown, power on, hold C... grey screen for a little while then into windows boot screen. Thought ok, I will try reset pram, option + command + p + r, nothing... just boots into windows. I have tried to original osx 10.4 restore disks that came with the machine with the same results. I also tried holdind D during boot with the original disks and it still does the same thing.
    I have also tried holding down option during boot, thinking it would give me my boot options, nothing still goes into windows. I am using a new aluminum white keyed usb apple keyboard and apple optical mouse, all plugged into the back of the machine.
    I don't know what to do next, if I can't find the solution it looks like i am going to have to take this thing apart and yank the drive and format it on my other machine with osx partition.
    thanks

    There's a couple more options yet.
    First, try a different USB keyboard.
    Second, when in Windows use the Bootcamp system tray utility to choose bootup from the OSX partition. You can install the Bootcamp system tray utility from the SL disk.
    Third, if you have another Mac and an appropriate firewire cable, bring the Mini up in Target Disk Mode and blat the disk that way.

  • HT1237 My MacBook Pro with Retina Display won't boot nor charge after updating to SMC Update v1.1. What do I do?

    I updated my MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the SMC Update v1.1. Everything went well with the installation, and it has successfully been installed amd restarted. After quite awhile, I shut down my MBP. Then when I tried to open it again, nothing happens. I kept on pressing the power button, even tried the shift+alt+ctrl+power, but nothing happens. My battery was on full charge, but when I tried to plug it into power, the LED of the MagSafe doesn't light up as well. What should I do?

    I had the same issue and had to take it to the Apple Store and it was sent to the repair depot to get fixed.  Supposedly they had to replace the logic board.  Some posts reflect the fact that in other cases the battery was removed then reinserted by Apple technicians to fix the problem.  There are many who have reported the same issue after this SMC Update and the only fix to the problem for MacBook Pro Retina owners is to have it serviced by Apple.

  • Following a drop, my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard won't boot OS X

    I get to the grey screen with the twirling icon, but it gets no further.
    I have BootCamp installed and can run up Windows XP.
    What are the techniques for salvaging data and/or repairing the OSX partition?

    BTW - I upgraded to Snow Leopard later on - should I use the Snow Leopard disk or the one that came originally? Or maybe either should have that utility....
    ...well the Snow Leopard disk seems to be doing the job.
    Verify Disk decided that a repair was necessary and this is now in progress. Fingers crossed...
