KT3 Ultra misreading AMD 1800XP

I am running an Athlon 1800 XP on the KT3 Ultra. On bootup the chip is identified as an Athlon 1150. Previously (two bios upgrades ago) the chip identified appropriately. I am currently running AMIBIOS 5.6.
Any suggestions on how I can get the system to properly recognize my XP chip?
Thanks.

wonkanoby thanks for the reply,
I knew I had to change the fsb and had tried several times but I was convinced the value was somehow locked. I was about to post to back to you to ask how this could be dealt with when I decided to try one more time... and realized I had not been using the correct keys (+ and -) to change the values. I am once again running an Athlon 1800 XP. Amazing what happens when one proves one's own ignorance (in public nonetheless) and then reads the instructions. I need to get off the bong for awhile.
Thanks again for taking the time for the post.

KT3-Ultra AUD 3 beep problem

first things first
MSI KT3-Ultra AUD
AMD 1.4 ghz T-bird
ATi Radeon 8500LE
256 MB Muskin RAM
I just thrw this computer together, the processor worked on my previous system.
The D-LEDs on the back show the Memory to be the problem. Prior to sending the ram back, I want to see if anything else might be the culprit.
The PSU puts out 180w on the +3 and +5 wires combined.

steps I took:
Cleared CMOS via Jumper
Adjusted CPU FSB to 133
set date and time to correct settings
set boot sequence
reboot
Magical RGRR on the Dleds
Cleared CMOS again
Flashed BIOS
Flashed BIOS again
Reboot
had to modify CMOS settings
Modified CPU FSB ONLY
Reboot
RGRR on D-LED
So we know the RAM works, we Know the Board works, we know the RAM + the Board do not always work.
Contacting newegg right now, will go up to PC3000 Mushkin Ram whihc has shown to have no issues what so ever with the board.
My recomendation is to trust Mushkin's website and not use thier 2700 Ram with the KT3-ULTRA-ARU. Any helpful throughts or suggestions as I will not be able to mail the thing back to newegg until this weekend.
Thank you to the board members for thier help. Thank you to MSI for a board that I hope to one day enjoy.

Kt3 Ultra-ARU MBFastTrack Problem

I am running a MSI KT3 Ultra- ARU I am having problems with MBFastTrack It doesn't let me do the auto setup. It does detect my HD. I have Raid Enabled. I am trying to run 2 HD's and I would like to make sure I have it all set up right. I don't think i do tho. what can i do to make sure it's running right and why can't i do the auto set up in MBFastTrack. I'm a newbe to computers so any ideas will be helpful.
My system:
Msi KT3 Ultra-ARU
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
Two 512 , One 256 Samsung DDR Ram
ATI Radeon 8500LE 128 DDR

I have a Seagate 60g Master on IDE 3, and a Western digital 60g slaved on IDE 4. Hope that helps.
I'm trying to set things up on Raid 0 aswell

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU - Can\'t install W2K !!

I've just bought my first AMD powered rig and I'm not able to install W2K pro. First let me say I'm not a computer novice and have been handling workstation/server hardware/software for years in the Intel world.
The failure happens at different places in the install, with different results.. sometimes while copying files the system freezes.. sometimes in the middle of a copy i get the BlueSOD... sometimes after copying files when booting into Windows 2000 for the first time the system just reboots to a black screen and is unable to find a boot partition... so we start over and the install deletes copied files and begins again.

Pri IDE S - Sony CDROM CDU6111-F
Sec IDE M - Asus CDRW 4012-A
Sec IDE S - none
Raid Disabled in Bios
Followed Mr.Steveo's guides for hardware installation, flashing BIOS from 5.4 (kept a copy) to 5.5. No problems.
Followed Mr.Steveo's guide for BIOS settings, using his recommendations to the letter, then after failure changed SRRAM freq: to HCLK+66 for 3000C2 ram... BUT still fails.
Additional detail - I lost my original W2KPro CD, and my copy is not bootable... so I'm creating a 2GB DOS partition and booting with a Win98 boot disk to get to the CD and running WINNT from there.
I've gone through the posts on both the AMDMB and MSI forums and seen some insightful suggestions... but nothing that exactly duplicates by problems. Hopefully one of you bright bulbs will be able to light my way. :D
When I get the BSOD I get different STOP errors:
0x0000000A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(BIOS or Drivers using improper memory address)
0x0000001E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(A kernel mode process tried to execute an illegal or unknown processor instruction)
HELP !!

Back Rev'd the Bios to 5.4 but that didn't help. Back to the forums...
Bas - Thanks for reminding me of the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid). I had simplified the HW but was still altering the Bios settings to where I know they should be.
WELL - I HAVE SUCCESS !!
In further research, (being new to this - remember?) I also find threads saying that I'm supposed to clear the CMOS/NVRAM using a motherboard jumper before powering up the board for the first time and after changing processors. I don't know how accurate that is - maybe someone will be kind enough to elaborate.
I've asked Mr.Steveo in the AMDMB forums if he thinks this step needs to be included in his hardware installation guide. I followed it religiously in my install and it doesn't mention doing this.
Anyway, I got the OS installed. After that, I went back into the Bios and added all suggested settings. I'm getting "2200+" in the boot screens and in the OS.
Now lets finish the install and see if we remain stable. After several days of burnin, I'll OC some to see what I can get.
Thanks Guys!!

Help me Overclock! :) KT3 Ultra-ARU & Athlon XP 2100+

Been trying some things out, and reading a LOT of stuff on overclocking, but still kind of confused by some of it. Wanted to see what you guys think I can do with the following:
MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU
AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (Stock AMD Heatsink & Fan)
1.0 G (2 512 sticks) of RAM (Kingston ValueRAM) (With Thermaltake aluminum RAM cooler on one stick, with an attached fan that blows over both sticks.)
MSI Geforce FX 5200
Just wanted to see if anyone had any success with this particular combination. It will be cooled by fans, and this is the case I have: http://www.xoxide.com/xviper.html
It has fans blowing right over the AGP and PCI slots, as well as a fan on the front blowing over the hard drives and an exhaust fan on the back of the case.
Here's some pictures if you need them:

you are welcome mate.
if CPU became instable increase CPU Vcore with one step.
get a copy of Orthos to check CPU stability:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99013.0
set priority to 7, and 1st test (Small FFT's) when error appear there increase CPU Vcore with one step and retest.
I'll keep that in mind. Got the FSB at 155 now - gona start moving slower.
Got another question if you don't mind - You said to force the memory clock to 133 - i'm not sure how to do that. It seems locked. Here's my options for the SDRAM stuff in the Bios:
Configure DRAM Frequency: SPD or USER
SDRAM Frequency: HCLK/HCLK+33/SPD
CAS# Latency: 2/2.5
Row Precharge Time: 2T/3T
RAS Pulse Width: 5t/6t
RAS to CAS Delay: 2t/3t
SDRAM Bank Interleave: Disabled/2-way/4-way
SDRAM Burst Length: 4QW/8QW
SDRAM IT Command: enabled/Disabled
Fast Command: Normal/Fast/Ultra
Now, when Configure DRAM Frequency is set to user, I can mod everything in that menu - however as soon as the FSB is set to 166 the SDRAM Frequency can only be set to HCLK - the other options disappear. But, even at 165 it can be set to HCLK, HCLK+33 or SPD.
Not sure what to do there. And, are they any other options you would reccomend changing in that menu?

MSI KT3 Ultra 6380E and (RAM)

Will the KT3 Ultra(6380E) support a 512mb DDR RAM at 400mhz?

I`m thinking the MB`s and memory are backwards complient, meaning sure 400MHZ memory will run in there, but the MB will not be able to run it @ 400MHz only 333. Right from MSI product info page.
Main Memory
- Supports six memory banks using three 184-pin DDR DIMMs
- Supports a maximum memory size up to 3GB
- Supports 2.5V DDR200/266/333 DDR SDRAM DIMM

Spontaneous Lockups with KT3 Ultra ARU

I'm getting a full system lockup from time to time. It doesn't just happen when gaming. Happens often when in PC Alert or Netscape, but it seams pretty random. Any Ideas?

I can partly agree, the SB Live software is far from perfect... :-/
In my experience, the most troublesome component is the update utlitity, Newsupd.exe, which is usually found somewhere in the '\Program Files\Creative\...' hierarchy. Try to rename this, reboot and see if it helps. (You will probably get a message during startup that Windows can't find this file, it is perfectly safe to ignore that warning. )

KT3 Ultra-ARU SB Live! problem when using onboard Promise MBFasttrak 1

Hello !
I have one little problem with my motherboard. I know it's a little bit older compared to today's MSI production.. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard. I used only VT8233A southbridge's IDE until now, and everything worked perfectly. But now, I bought two Maxtor 80GB disks and placed them to a onboard Promise MBFasttrak 133 Lite (PDC20276) RAID in stripping mode. Everything works, except Soundblaster Live!. The soundcard itself works normally, but when I start to copy some files (and have some MP3's or video's running) the audio gets distorted in rythm with data transfer. I checked IRQs or address spaces, but IDE is on another IRQ than any other device, the same is address space. Had anyone the same experience with this "problem" ? Please let me know...
My configuration:

Hi,
I think you should install at least the VIA RPP patch (http://www.viaarena.com), maybe also the patch from http://www.georgebreese.com.

Overclocking the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU

Hey,
I read some reviews with the kt3 Ultra ARU and i have read that people have been getting the FSB up to around 167? Yet, i fail to get it past 151? Any suggestions?

you would have more chance of it booting at 166
than 151 as the divider kicks in at 152
at 166 fsb your video and pci slots are at the correct speed
it can be done if you have been lucky with the cpu you gotlink

KT3 Ultra limitation capacity

What is the highest HDD that KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E) can support?
Can I install a 160 GB HDD (MAXTOR D.MaxPlus9 6Y160P0 160GB UATA133)?
Please...
Thank you.

Yes, KT3 Ultra supports 48bit LBA adressing, so you can put all the drives available today to this mobo. Limitation is only on the side of OS and file systems.

RAM problems with KT3 Ultra 2 causing STOP errors in XP

I've run the NEC ncramtst program on my PC and its coming up with an error in the extended memory at adddress 1B8EE01C which probably explains the stop errors and problems I've been having in XP...
I've tried reseating the RAM and tried a different slot but it still returns the same error.
The PC is only 2 months old and I have only experienced stop errors in the last 2 weeks or so and usually are at random - and occur more often when copying files - or putting load on the PC.. any ideas why the RAM is only now causing errors and what the problem is?
Are the problems definatly being caused by RAM or could it be the motherboard?
Thanks in advance

Does KT3 Ultra 2 support PC3200?

I cannot locate the manual for this mobd, but was wondering if anyone knows if the KT3 Ultra 2 board supports the Kingston 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM? or am I stuck with PC2700 memory?
My system is so unstable, locking up many times a day. The mobd. is a RMA replacement from MSI (due to secondary IDE problems). XP w/SP2 loaded fine, but PC hangs at bootup or usually within 30 minutes.
Thanks.

I don't have the PC locally now, so I cannot check the power supply manufacturer information.
However, I can tell you that the power supply is brand new as is the case I just purchased. It may be an Austin 300W if my memory serves me right.
I have gone through this website (http://www.msicomputer.com/support/sup_tshoot.asp) and forum and found the most likely causes of system hangs appears to be:
1. old BIOS
2. CPU problems
3. memory mismatch/bad
- The motherboard just came in from MSI as an RMA replacement, so the BIOS is probably the latest (5.7). I will verify this weekend.
- The CPU is newer, so it is not likely. Although, I can swap it and try it out this weekend.
- I know for a fact that the memory is from different manufacturers. I have 256MB and a 128MB PC2700 from different companies. I tested them one at a time, and they ran clean. It is possible that there is a conflict, that is why I began looking for replacement memory. At this time, PC2700 is more expensive and less available than equivalent PC3200, too. So, these are the reasons I am checking into the KT3 Ultra 2 support of PC3200 DDR memory. Thanks.
