KT7A restarts during CD-ROM access

Keep the Live, just uninstall Liveware and use the plain drivers for the Live. Also, disable SB16 emulation in device manager. It takes up 2 DMA channels.

Q
MSI K7T Pro 2-A bios flash question???

That's what the LD switch does... By the way, since we're talking about bios settings and the Pro2-A, I finally got over the instability problem in 3D games by using the A7 AGP driving value. Not a single crash in a week. The picture was a bit brighter (adjust with the monitor and it's fine)...

Q
msi k7t pro 2-a user in need of extreme HELP!!!!

Thanks, I'll give that a try. What power management will then Windows use? APM? Will the system still turn itself off or will it revert to the manual turn off without APCI?

Q
msi k7t pro 2-a user in need of extreme HELP!!!!

While installing Win98SE, do you still have to use the /p i switch even though you first disable ACPI in bios?

Q
K7T Pro2-A Power-Up Issue

New bios won't help but you can try also disabling APCI in bios + setting power after failure to "off". That might help, unless you're using Win2K. Beware you might have to reinstall Windows though.

Q
MSI K7TPro2A Power Up Boot Problem

No, the new bios doesn't help. Lots of folks of have the cold boot problem do own an AMD approved PSU. Apparently, the Pro2A is fussy about the timing and will only work properly with certain PSU. If enough people bug MSI, they might resolve to adress this issue...

Q
MSI K7T-Pro2-a spontaneously refuses to boot.

I can't understand how they could not be aware of the problem since I know of many people who contacted them about this issue. Since I've encountered about 35 people with this problem, that makes a lot of bad RAM/CPU! I must say though that I've seen this problem happen with other KT133 boards...

Q
MSI K7TPro2A Power Up Boot Problem

I must have encountered at least 35 people who own a Pro2A and experience this problem. What PSU are you using in those systems?

Q
MSI K7T-Pro2-a spontaneously refuses to boot.

FloridaBoy3, the cold boot problem is the main topic of this thread. Read back all the posts and you'll notice you're off topic. The cold boot problem is not related to any drivers. It prevents the machine to boot every once in a while without having to hit reset.

Q
MSI K7T-Pro2-a spontaneously refuses to boot.

As for other problems like freezing during D3D games, try setting the AGP driving value to BA rather than the default DA.

The new bios (2.4) is fine but it doesn't solve the cold boot problem though.

Q
MSI K7T-Pro2-a spontaneously refuses to boot.

I have the same problem as well. Tried different PSU and video cards without solving it. Apparently, the only solution that was found is to disable APCI in bios as well as setting "power after failure" to "off". Doesn't help people running Win2K though... Give it a try if you...

sidebanding on MSI Pro2A

Sidebanding is locked in the bios of the video card. Try finding another bios that allows it.
