Xp wont install right on k7t turbo2

I know ive kinda posted on this before, but all stuff aside, its not my psu, etc, maybe just a stupid vid card infinite loop...but...im getting errors again, and need to install....is there a specific setting to use with agp to get it to install correctly or what? i need to know this asap, im installing when i get home from college in about 2 hours..... please lemme know!! THANKS!! and anyone else find service pack 1 kinda sucks after awhile? I cant even play friggin morrowind without problems...gonna leave sp1 off this time.

Welp then this board is crap and needs major replacing then. Ive pulled everything out but a pci voodoo 3 vid card, and i still get crap. I really think im just cursed or something already. Ive got xp installed now, but the dang studid thing reports that there are NO updates to install, which is BS!! Ive got the system runnign stable at 100 fsb, but thats crap! ive got a xp 2000, i dont want not 100 fsb, gimme the 133! MAKE IT STABLE! ACK! Dunno whats wrong with this computer, but i seem to always get stuck with crap for mobos and they always have some flaw! i think monday ill take this sucker back and have them swap it for another!

K7T Turbo2 & heatsink clip

Came across an interesting problem/solution while rebuilding a system for a client, FWIW. They had been experiencing random errors with increasing frequency for several months, including Windows registry errors on boot, I/O errors, garbage error messages onscreen, temporary screen freezes and lockups, and then the system finally died completely. I ran through the usual troubleshooting steps and found the motherboard and CPU were bad (I'm guessing power surge but who knows).
Installed a new K7T Turbo2, new Duron 1.3 and new (quality) power supply. I reused the old heatsink/fan from the dead Duron 900, cleaned and applied thermal paste as usual. System would boot fine, then freeze, or show various hardware errors during POST. After shutdown and a long period of cooling off it would boot as normal, then freeze and go into POST errors again. I knew I had installed everything properly, but I took another very close look at the heatsink and found that it was somehow tilted ever so slightly in relation to the CPU, even though it otherwise appeared to be installed correctly. This tilt was so slight, there couldn't have been more than a few millimeters of dice that weren't in contact with the heatsink. In looking even closer, I discovered that the heatsink clip had a bend on one end which was closer to one end of the clip /~___~~\ than the bend on the other end. After reversing the clip, the heatsink then seated properly and the system is running fine with no errors.
I'd never run across a heatsink clip that had only one proper orientation, nor did I realize how critical it is for the heatsink to absolutely, positively have total and complete contact with every last bit of the dice in order for the system to boot! Sorry for the length of this post, justed wanted to throw this in, in support of the troubleshooting guide in this forum, and also to vent my frustration at having spent several hours trying to figure this one out.

on good coolers the bar is not removable
another clue on one were it will fall out is there is normally only one end has the clip for the screw driver and this should go towards the top of the cpu socket, and be on same side as step in the coolers base

Did a clean reinstall of Win2k because I felt there had been too many hardware changes since the original installation. Evidently, while I was trying to get a XP 2600+ 333 recognized as a 2600+ (I learned in the BIOS forum that this wasn't possible) the onboard sound became enabled in BIOS.
I did the reinstall without the sound card. I then attempted to add it, but of course I had a conflict between the Audigy card and the AC97 onboard. After I figured out that the onboard sound was enabled, I disabled it in BIOS. I went to safe mode and removed all hardware related to sound and all software related to Creative. I shut down again- removed the audigy card - restarted. Shut down again, inserted the audigy card in a different slot (also tried original slot). Windows doesn't recognize it. It does see a "multimedia audio controller" that I cannot find a driver for. If I cancel out of that driver installation and try to install the Creative software it advises that no sound blaster card is present.
Should I start all over again? If I do, should I install win2k with the sound card installed?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
PS - system was working fine before I attempted the re-install but was sluggish which I felt was due to all the hardware changes (mobo, graphics card, sound card, hd) done at various times, not to mention the software installs and uninstalls.

This is the advice I rcvd from Creative technical support. It worked. Sound card is properly and cleanly installed. I also disabled the onchip sound in BIOS advanced chipset in addition to disabling the onboard audio in BIOS Integrated peripherals.
Again, this is for an audigy sound card and Win2k:
please try out the following cleansweep and
re-installation procedure instead, to see if it works:-
1. Enable the WINDOWS 2000 STARTUP MENU by rebooting your computer and
tapping F8 once every second OR holding the SHIFT key while rebooting.
2. When the menu is displayed, select SAFE MODE and press ENTER.
3. Once in SAFE MODE, insert the sound card's installation CD and exit
out of the installer
4. Click START / RUN.
5. Type "X:\AUDIO\DRIVERS\CTZAPXX.EXE into the OPEN field (replace X
with the applicable CD-ROM drive letter).
6. Click OK.
7. When the CREATIVE DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY opens, select DRIVER
UNINSTALLATION under UPDATE OPTION.
8. If two out of the three options are disabled or grayed out under
DRIVER TYPE, click OK. Otherwise, select WDM. You will then be
prompted to reboot, but please do not do so.
9. Click START / SETTINGS / CONTROL PANEL / ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
10. Remove all Creative SB Audigy 2 programs.
11. Close all windows, and reboot the computer normally (ENTER NORMAL
MODE).
12. The Audigy 2 will be detected by Windows. Cancel the ADD NEW
HARDWARE WIZARD when able.
In order to install your soundcard properly, I recommend you to ensure
the following for the audio installation and test:
- The card is the only card installed other than the Graphics card.
- The card is at least one empty slot away from the Graphics card.
- Place the soundcard away from all the others.
- That the card is seated properly in the PCI slot.
- Move the PC's internal wires away from the soundcard.
- That the on-board sound on your motherboard is disabled through the
BIOS.
- That the on-board gameport is disabled through the BIOS.
- That your motherboard BIOS is up-to-date.
- That the operating system is up-to-date with the latest service packs
and patches.
- That there are no background applications open when you attempt the
solution.
- That the anti-virus program is disabled.
- That if you are over-clocking your system, return all options to their
recommended settings.
- That you access the PC with administrator rights.
13. Perform an installation via the CTRUN program on the CD
(X:\CTRUN\CTRUN.EXE where X is the drive letter of your CD drive that
has the installation CD).
[note:RE: Item 13 - there was a ctrunx directory with ctrunx.exe and start.exe in it. The ctrunx.exe wouldn't execute, but the start.exe did the job]
14. Reboot if prompted.
15. Please obtain the latest updates for your Audigy 2 card from our
website:- http://us.creative.com//support/downloads/
Under the option 'Select your product': Select 'Sound Blaster'->'24-bit
Advanced HD'->'Sound Blaster Audigy 2'.
Under the option 'Select your operating system': Select 'Windows 2000'.
Click on the 'Go' button just below the Windows selection.
In the next page, click on 'EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Update for
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Audigy 2 ZS' and the download should
begin.
16. Once you are prompted to OPEN FROM CURRENT LOCATION or SAVE TO
DISK, select SAVE TO DISK and download the update to MY DESKTOP.
17. When the file has completed the phase of being transferred to your
computer, locate the file on your desktop and double click the file.

Im having oodles of problems installing Xp pro (and even win 98) on my computer. My current setup is:
K7T Turbo2 (latest revision, with 3.5 bios)
Athlon XP 2000+
40 gig maxtor hd

Problems arise when installing xp pro (and xp home) when at the point where it says: starting windows ... then either it reboots, blue screens, with errors like: page fault in non page area, or usb.sys or something, so ive disabled usb, etc etc...
I already tried swapping out everrything from video to sound, etc, those tricks DO NOT WORK. Already tried using various settings in the bios, already tried mem timings, setting agp to 4x, or 2x, auto, manual and EA, etc... nothing seems work...
The only thing that DOES work, is disabling the internal cpu cache..why? BEATS ME?!? After its done loading hte main stuff, Im going to reinable it and see how it goes.. im tired of problems, I like the mobo, but Was having problems from the get go installing xp.. im reinstalling it now, since i was getting errors like irq_not less, that thingy there, and then stuff like ntfs error on a bsod, etc. Installed the 4 in 1's, 442's then 443's, didnt work...psu isnt really an issue, has 220 tco, and runs fine, hard drive is not damaged, neither are the other optical drivers, and im just at my wits end.. this is really starting to tick me off..
emailed msi tech support, nothing back yet... can someone PLEAES HELP!?!? What bios settings should i use for xp pro installs and stuff?? lemme know! Thanks!!! And should i REALLY reinstall service pack 1? any thoughts on this??

WEll shite, now i gotta kill 98, cause now IT aint even working...... this board sucks! Im having more problems than a ECS mobo on a good day.
Now what, ive stuck my voodoo 3 in, and im fudgin with the settings, but quite frankly, im sick of all this, if it dont work, its going back and that pc shop is gonna fix this

I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

Because I know enough to be dangerous... I was trying to extend the two outside columns down.... Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
The other link problem is the left sidebar links. When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page. I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article. From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
<a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it can't find the page). To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing. It makes no sense. When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what. I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
Got any ideas?

K7T Turbo2, AMD 2600 - wont recognize cpu correctly.

Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have the K7T Turbo2 W6330VMS with the latest bios, v3.6. I upgraded from an AMD Athlon +1700 (266 fsb) to a Athlon +2600 (266 fsb). I verified I had flashed the bios before installing the new CPU. I have since cleared the Bios and re-flashed it. Version 3.6 bios was the version that allows the Turbo2 to use +2400 and +2600 cpus.
Here is my problem: The system shows the CPU as a +2000 on bootup. It is running at 1660mhz, not 2133mhz. My bus is running at 133 mhz.
I have removed the CPU and verified the correct CPU was installed.
AMD Athlon, AXDA2600DKV3C.
I have tried manually changing the multiplier and bus speed, but only drop the cpu speed doing this.
What do I need to do inorder to get this board to recognize the CPU correctly?
Thank you.

AXDA2600DKV3C 2600+ 2133MHz 16x 133fsb is the cpu you need
notice the 16x multilpier
your cpu is using a 12.5 multilplier
AXDA2600DKV3D 2600+ 2083MHz 12.5x 166 fsb
is what you have despite what any thing says
the 266 version of the xp 2600 is as rare as rocking horse doings

K7T Turbo2 wont post with a Duron

plz help me!
My system is as follow
2 x 256 legend brand pc133 SDRAM
GF4 MX440 Video Card
K7T Turbo2 Mainboard
Seagate Barracuda
Sony 52x24x52 CDRW
250Watt Power Supply
The system used to run a 1.2 Duron perfectly. I then upgraded to a XP2400+ and flashed the BIOS to the latest version. Now when i try to run it with the 1.2 Duron againt it will not POST. I replaced the duron with a brand new 1.3GHz and still no POST. I put my 2400XP+ back in and the system worked perfectly. I have tried clearing CMOS and limiting the FSB to 100MHz and still no POST with the Durons. I am all out of ideas, i have replaced every component i can think of (Video card, PSU, RAM) and no luck.
Someone please help me!

Welcome,
First, you're lucky to get the XP and GF4 to run with such a low rated PSU (and this may lead to problems w/that config).
You did replace the J17 jumper for 100 FSB?
LED readings (see Manual)upon re-installing Duron (all red)?
Did you try clearing CMOS before re-installing Duron?

K7T Turbo2 and XP2400

I discovered that they now rate the K7T Turbo2 as compatible with a 2400XP thoroughbred, but I installed one and it is recognized as an xp1800.
This is a 266FSB throughbred 2400XP and I've flashed the latest bios, but the clock wont go beyond 15 x 100MHz.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an obvious solution that I'm overlooking?

Thanks, I checked the online manual and you're right.
Also, kudos for such a quick response.
I had a 1400 tbird, the heatsink fan started making noise so I replaced it. I didn't put the heatsink on very firmly and promptly melted down the cpu. This upgrade will last me a bit longer until I have to change out the whole thing.

K7T Turbo2 V5.0 Cannot Properly Shutdown

Hello everyone,
The thing is that "Power" button on my case doesn't work for me properly. When I'm just booting the machine, the moment I press the power button the whole system freezes (the hdd led remains on, power led goes off, fan is on, disks are on, monitor is on, boot screen is on). When I press it again, system reboots.
Many of you had the similar problem before... I tried most of the suggestions... Nothing worked for me.
When in WinXP, the moment I press "power" button, system performs the shutdown, but after the drives arу off, monitor is off etc, cpu fan remains on.
Many of you will say that my PSU is not good enough. The same PSU works wine with the same config, same cpu with Abit K7T 1.3 though.
Actually, I've been able to shut down properly once. I had my machine turned of (with the I/O switch on a PSU) for quite a while, and I cleared out the bios settings. But after the machine remains on for more that a few minutes, "power" stops working.
Please help.
Configuration:
K7T Turbo2 V5.0
1Gb PC133 RAM
AMD 1700+ Athlon XP CPU
Realtek 10/100 PCI LAN
Gforce2 GTS-V
Athlon XP certified 300W PSU
Windows XP Pro, SP1

Where did you get the CPU from and do you know for sure it was pulled from a working system? eBay, and no... :(
Are you 100% sure you have Turbo2 & the OPN on the CPU itself is AXDA2600DKV3C? Yes, I visually see them with my own eyes.
You did clean base of HSF and use fresh thermal compund/grease when installing CPU & HSF/cooler? Yes.
I assume it still works with the 1800+? Yes, using it right now.
Recheck power connections and make sure the plugs are fully seated (ATX 20 pin, JPW1 square 4 pin) I'll check that the next time, probably tomorrow.
Is PSU +12V more than 10-12 amps? No idea what you're talking about here...

K7T Turbo2 w2k fails after SP4 or 4in1

K7T Turbo2 w/ 1800+
768 mushkin pc133
WD800 80gb ntfs
MSI 52 cd-rw
enermax 350w
Alrighty then.... I just received this mobo back after an RMA on memory problems, and am installing in a whole new box with new ps, hdd, cd-rw. (fyi - never had any problems in the old box)
I boot from cd, format entire drive to ntfs, and install w2k. the ide's are both intitially recognized as PIO (not dma). so I've tried both of the following options first and second:
1. install wk2 sp4. installs fine, goes to reboot and hangs at a black screen right after the w2k white bar goes by.
-or-
2. install the VIA 4in1's (i've tried all different rev') and I get BSOD with "inaccessible_boot_device" errors.
Did MSI send me back a lemon w/ chipset problems?
Please help. I'm on 3 sleepless nights. Thanks in advance!

yep to both replys --> hdd on primary master (no jumpers), cd-rw on secondary master (jumpered to master)
Blue ends to blue mobo plug.
I have lost track how many times I have formatted and installed this thing. I'm nearing my wits end.
What about going backwards on the BIOS? I'm at 3.6, which appears to be the latest. It seems to revolve around this hdd and the ide drivers but I don't know how to solve it. I can't believe how hard this became. It was so easy in the other machine.

K7T TURBO2 (mandrake linux)

OK running the K7T TURBO2 mobo in my system with a 800 MHZ Duron.I downloaded Mandrake Linux 9.1 and looking to install it.My question is.Does anyone know if this version of mandrake will have the drivers for this board and say for the sound or are they out there for me to download.Linux newbie here so want to make sure when i install I do it right the first time.Thank You

Hi,
I think that it should be no problem to run Linux with a Turbo2. I think I would wait a few weeks until 9.2 is freely available, btw
You will probably find more information at:

Hope this helps,

Need help with T-bred on K7T Turbo2????

I just got a K7T Turbo2, the one that supports all the way up to XP2600+ 266FBS cpu's.
and I am trying to use a XP2100+ T-bred "B" in it.
and I can not select 133FSB.
every time I try it defaults back to 100FSB, heck I can select, pretty much any multiplier, but they are not right.
if I pick 8X I get 16X, if I select 13X i get 20X?????
it wont detect the cpu correctly and I cant select the correct settings manually.
I flashed to the latest bios already, and it does this with either bios.
It must be something simple, I just have never had a MSI board before and dont know my way around the bios very well yet???
Thanks for any help ahead of time.

I knew it was something simple, it has a 100/133FSB jumper J17 I have to set to 133FSB, DUH!!!
This is the first KT133A board I have had that you cant do this in the bios.
oh well no biggie.
will change it when i get home.
and I found a 16X and a 20X multiplier so hopefully thuis thing will run my T-bred at 2.4GHZ of more and 150FSB or more.

K7T Turbo2 MOBO not supporting processor

Hey all,
Just bought a bunch of new hardware here:
Athlon XP 2100+
MSI K7T Turbo2 MOBO
(plus other stuff that doesn't matter right now...)
My problem is, the BIOS is only reading the processor as being a 1500+ when it boots. The BIOS is the most recent version, everything's up to date, I can't figure out what's going on... ?(
Also, on top of that, I have no sound from the MOBO. It's enabled in the BIOS (onboard sound), and I've attempted to install the VIA AC97 Drivers multiple times, but everytime I try it says, "VIA AC97 PCI Sound is not enabled in the BIOS - please enable it and run the installation again." But like I said, it's already enabled.
Anyone have ANY ideas as to what's goin on? Hopefully the MOBO isn't pooched and there's something we can do about this...
Thanks,
Chad

But it's not even the jumper that's causing the problem - I upped the FSB to 132 MHz (the highest it would allow with J17 still on), and left the multiplier at default (whatever that may be), and the processor is now being recognized as an Athlon XP 2100+. However, when I change the multiplier to 13, which should be the correct setting for a 2100+, the computer refuses to boot, whether the jumper's on or off. In fact, if I set the multiplier to ANY number, the computer refuses to boot. It's only when I leave it on Default that it will boot.
Also, after I removed the jumper and did the above fix, my sound started working... but only for a few minutes. Then the computer crashed and it refuses to work again.
Any other suggestions?
Chad

K7T Turbo2 - CD ROM not responding

Hello, and welcome to my blundering efforts. After reformatting with a fresh instal of Win98 I installed the VIAHyperion4in1453v.exe chipset drivers and immediately lost my CD ROM. Device manager sez it is there and working properly. Any attempts to use it have resulted in "L: is not accessible. Device is not ready." Now I wish I knew what the four options are in the 4in1 installer, I just checked them all, more the better right?
One clue - In the device manager there is a DMA checkbox in Properties>Settings>Options for the CD ROM. DMA was something I checked when the 4in1 installer was installing.
(Hint: I do not know what DMA is.)
I have tried removing the CD ROM via device manager but upon restarting I did not see the OS detect it and add it again.
Anything else I should be looking for?
Brandon

hey, thanks Wonkanoby. Worked like a charm. May the force be with you.
Next question!
The graphics card details on the k7t turbo2 page say:
AGP Specification Compliant
Supports AGP 2.o 1x/2x/4x
I would like to maximize my graphics card power but I dont want to pay for more than I can use. Does anyone have suggestions as to which card will do this for me or where a good place to ask is?

K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2600 / 333 BIOS settings ?

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with this combo ?
I've tried to install the processor but I can't achieve 2600 Mhz...only 1600 Mhz !
Any ideas ?
---> MSI K7T Turbo2 (latest BIOS)
---> AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB 333 BOX
Jumper J17 (i think) is out.
Thanks,
m@ndr@ke

Unfortunately Bogdan2003 is right, your board only supports a 266MHz FSB. The XP 2600 doesn't run at 2600MHz, it comes in two flavours one runs at 2083MHz which is the 333FSB version and one at 2133MHz which is the 266FSB version, the later being the one your board will support.

Xp wont install right on k7t turbo2
