Hi guys,

I have a MSI K7D-L Master running with two MP 2000+, everything running fine. Got from a friend 2x MP 2400+, cause his K7D Master fails. Implementing them on my installation, my Win XP Pro fails to start before first XP picture approaches. Changing to FSB 100, all OK. Starting with one CPU on FSB 133 => OK.

Disable internal cache from CPU in Bios, start with FSB 133, I reach my desktop, but pc is very slow.

Processors seems to be OK, no overheating or something else, but with both CPU's no FSB 133. grrrrrr

Try a new installation, installation fails on different positions.

any idea

regards aplrapid

PS: last bios version, all actual drivers

maybe reseting the bios will do the trick?

srry no, i tried different ways, resetting bios, disabling different bios properties.

Please list all of your system specs.

Sometimes when a power supply can't keep up with a system it will allow the system to function at 100FSB instead of 266FSB

Also did you put the latest bios on the mainboard? That also may be an issue.

Enough Info? let me know if you miss something.

What i pre-checked:
- Changing Power Supply
- Changing Memory to Samsung M383L6423BT1-CB0
- Disabling onboard Sound, Lan,....
- Starting up with only one IDE Disk, without SATA Controller
- Changing Video Card
- Running without Audigy Soundcard


thx for help

Whats the true capacity of your power supply? What I mean by that is not whats written on the side like "400W" I mean what are the amperage (A) specs for each voltage on the side of the power supply for:
3.3V = ?A
+5V =?A
+12V =?A
+5VSB =?A


Also how do the capacitors look on that motherboard, I've seen quite a few of those dual XP boards needing to be recapped.

DATA:
3.3V = 28A
+5V =38A
+12V =25A
+5VSB =2A

Also how do the capacitors look on that motherboard?

All clean, no bursting up on top.

I also thought about another power supply, but even tried a 400Watt Tagan(no change). Tomorow I ask some friends, if someone has an actual 500Watt P5 power Supply. Maybe that helps.

Very odd, you seem to have pretty much covered the basics...

Can you run the board with a single processor, and if so can you try each processor separately?

How did your friends board fail, could the failure have damaged one or both of the MP2400's?

=> "Can you run the board with a single processor, and if so can you try each processor separately?"

Already done, starting up with one prozi FSB133(vice versa) => no problem

=> "How did your friends board fail, could the failure have damaged one or both of the MP2400's?"

PC sometimes hanging, as he uses his pc mostly for gaming he searches for new stable solution and we think to solve his problem it isn't worth to solve it on his k7d master solution, cause we found 6 capacitors on the board which where bursted or brown coloured on the top.
But his pc was runninng till last day with 2x2400 FSB133. He uses an 460Watt Enermax Power supply.

I'm not sure what else to check other than, have you looked at the bottom of your capacitors, sometimes they fail out of the bung in the bottom...

Where do you guys live? Has your friend considered getting his board re-capped?

I don't need to at the moment, but how much does this re-capping usually cost? And what's the best precautionary measure to avoid stressing the caps? Undervolting VCore, lower FSB/PCI, low case temperature or a better PSU?

I've got my K7D set up nicely now, and I'd like for it to run for years! /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />
