XP Install failed on K7N2 Delta-ILSR! Please help!

Hi all
Just wondering if you an lend me a hand here. I have tried to install XP on my new hard disk, and half way though the install (when the GUI has loaded etc.) I generally get a stop error saying there has been a failure in ntfs.sys but I also had an error in IRQ allocation.
I have run memtest and I have received errors in tests 4, 5, 6 and 7 (about 1000 at the end of test 5). The memory I have is 512MB of DDR400 PC3200, Elixir RAM.
The readout on timings from memtest was:
199MHz DDR399          CAS: 3-3-3-8
Do I need to send this memory back (ie is it f**ked?)
Here are the rest of my specs if necessary:
AMD Athlon 1.0GHz (133MHz FSB) (L1 Cache: 128K, L2 Cache: 256K)
PowerBox KY330ATX 350W Max PSU
(Power ratings: +3.3V=15.0A
                      +5V=14.0A
                      +12V=8.0A
                      +5Vsb=2.0A
                      -5V=0.3A
                      -12V=1.0A)
Western Digital Caviar 120GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache
Radeon 9200Pro AGP8x
Creative Soundblaster Live! 5.1
Anything else I've missed that might affect it, please just tell me.
If I need to adjust RAM timings etc please tell me how to do this.
If I just need to send the RAM back, well, thats easy.
Cheers!

Hi,
Wow! Are these for real? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?

If they are correct, I'd seriously think about upgrading your PSU!!!
I don't think I've seen a +12v rail (8.0A) as low as this on the forum before!  (or is it a typo and it's really 18?)
General consensus on the forum is that the minimum recommended for these boards are (as a general rule):
+3.3V - 28A
+5V - 35A
+12V - 18A
Also, does your PSU have the extra 12v+ (4-pin) that the K7N2 requires?
This may not be directly responsible for your memory problems (tho' I certainly wouldn't rule it out)!

  • 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,

  • Install Failed - The Disk is damaged [Please Help]

    Hi, i am new to mac stuff i just got my macbook everything works fine but whenever i try to install .pkg files it opens installing and prepares for install and when i click continue it keep says "install failed The disc is damage". am trying to install ps2 emulator i downloaded it from psx official website, it has all the files that mac would need to install but it do not install.. i  thought there might be something wrong with emulator so i downloaded another software and the problem remains same. it works fine with my another macbook so i guess there must be something wrong in OSX . Please help solving this issue.
    i am running leopard 10.5.8 at 4GB RAM 160 HDD.

    You need to try repairing the hard drive using Disk Utility.  If that does not work, you could try another tool, like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro, but my personal advice would be to just erase the hard drive.  (Of course, you'll want to make sure your data is well backed-up first.)  If that doesn't work, your drive has failed and will need to be replaced.

  • INSTALLING FAN on K7N2 Delta - ILSR

    finally i got my fan (vantec ccb-a1c) BUT I DONT NO HOW TO INSTALL it cause they didnt give much directions...   what do i do with the 2 heatsinks thermal tape and other stuff... all it says on the package is to put the fan directly on the chip???

    this is a shockwave flash for Vantecs install procedure. it doesn't look very difficult!

    This is the problem:
    System turns on, and all fans come on including cpu fan, but no signal shown on the monitor. The cpu has a coppershim/and silver termal paste, i really dont think i crushed it when I put it on. The d-Bracket shows 2 red leds on top, two green on bottom.Tried two different video cards 7000,and 8500 did nothing. The xaser 11 cpu fan has a thermal diode that was hooked up originally.The msi motherboard also has one, that was not hooked up.. Should I try to hook up the msi diode??
    What do I do?? Help please..
    thanks--

    I would try reseating the CPU & the heatsink making sure that the heatsink fan is plugged into the motherboard & try different RAM. I suspect the RAM to be the biggest culprit.
    Do you have a system speaker plugged into the motherboard? If so, how many beeps? One long, or, a continuos beep, etc...

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Help Please.

    Hi all
    I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard that im putting together and I have a question.
    In the middle of the socket where the CPU sits is a small CPU thermal protection sensor, my question is that the sensor is higher than the socket and will be touching the CPU when it is inserted is this normal or should sensor be bent downward so not to be in direct contact with the CPU?
    I would not be asking this question if not for someone telling me not to put any external case sensor on the CPU direct only on the heat sink but in this case its built into the motherboard itself. Best to be safe than sorry I thought.
    Many thanks

    Hi Andy
    I too have just bought an MSI K7N2-ILSR. On mine the sensor is bent down so as not to contact the cpu. Was like this when I bought it so I would suggest that it is not supposed to touch processor

    ....d-bracket from MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR is 1,3,4 red and 2 green. Which is according the the manual "Memory Detection Test"-if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly.
    Why woudl a memory suddenly not work?
    I know I was adjusting bios for this and that....  
    I think just before this happened.. I adjusted something on agp setting... but what ahs that got to do with memory?
    COuld it be the mobo or memory or the video card???

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chip

    I tried to install 3 of the Crucial Ballistix Tracer (1 Gig Each) in this motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chipset) and it will not run stabilly no matter what I tried. Is this a bios conflict with the memory? If so, are there any new bios updates? I have tried cas settings and voltage settings but nothing works. It will how ever run perfectly with only 2 sticks in single channel mode. It will not run same 2 sticks in dual channel mode. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know of any new motherboards with maybe NFORCE 4 Chipset that support all 3 sticks of this memory and an AGP graphics card? Im thinking of a new motherboard but I still need to have AGP and SATA.
    Barton 3200 core proc.
    System has ran fine for a solid year until I tried new memory. Please help!

    Quote from: freakytiki4u on 07-November-06, 23:42:33
    Ok I tried to use relaxed FSB by -10 and relaxed mem timings but still unstable due to the motherboard trying to use dual channel memory. If you can modify the bios to where it will not have the capability of dual channel memory I truly believe it will work. Will u try this for me? I would greatly appreciate it as I am really not ready to spend all the money on new equipemtn when this suits my needs for now.
    sure but as i said before this is gona be experimental and risky. Here we go:
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Experimental MOD E1(Disable Dual CH ability)
    Procedure is automated in best possible safest way to BIOS update.
    Prepare a blank diskette in a good condition(newest one etc.)
    ]execute file under XP will make bootdisk with automated BIOS update procedure. when diskette is ready, reboot PC and boot from FDD(floppy), wait a bit, then you will be asked for final confirmation about BIOS update process, press a key to proceed, after BIOS update is complete, ensure that you got successfully output message from flash program. then power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit power button several time to drain caps electrify, touch with hands some metal for ES discharge, and Clear CMOS.
    pull back power cord, power up your PC, when you see CMOS checksum error,(expected msg) hit F1 to continue to re-build DMI pool data, then reboot and enter in BIOS, LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, and SAFE AND EXIT.
    NOTE: Ensure your PC is stable before proceed with BIOS update.
    NOTE: Use it at own risk, chance of failure is big, cannot guarantee results and safest as provisional mode which can guarantee it will work stable with features. also cannot test it personally before give you. (don't have mobo anymore)
    Using it may end with dead mainboard (BIOS chip re-flash will be required, if somethink goes wrong)

  • K7N2 Delta-ILSR can't get IEEE 1394 working

    My Mainboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR nForce2 Ultra 400 (601-6570-030)
    I can't ever remember seeing the onchip 1394 controller settings in Bios.
    I do remember seeing it in windows XP before I reflashed the bios to ver 7.6 using Live Update, I have read about problems with the mainboard not likeing the FX5900 Video cards, so I thought I would update the bios to save any problems.
    I then re-installed XP and thought nothing of it. Everything was running well intil I wanted to do some video capturing from my camcorder. I then realised that there where no 1394 drivers installed and no controller could be found. I read the manual and it said to set the 1394 controller in Bios to Auto. When I went to Bios there was no onchip 1394 controller shown in the intergrated peripherals or any where else in Bios.
    Can someone suggest what to do next please?

    Try the followin steps
     Hit the DEL key to go to the BIOS SCREEN
     goto  LOAD BIOS SETUP DEFAULTS  and press ENTER
     press F10 to save it to BIOS.
    NOW  again go to the BIOS  and go to the INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS check out whether there is ONCHIP 1394
    All the Best !

  • K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

    Hi
    MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    Bios V1016
    Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
    AMD Athlon XP2800+
    2x512mb Crucial DDR
    1xSATA HDD
    Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
    I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's.  The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
    Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
    I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
    If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
    Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
    I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
    I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
    Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

    K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts.  Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

    PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
    By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
    Now what?

    that is suggesting to me either your PSU is failing, or it is a Poor PSU with over-optimistic amp ratings (eg Q-Tec). it will all appear to work fine on your older board, as that has lower power requirements, have a look in my sticky Is your problem caused by your PSU? for more info and advice.
