270x hawk ingame flickering problem.

I have an msi 270x hawk LE
S/N:602 - V303 - 04SB1401015663
I am experiencing screen flickering in game on dark surfaces in the form of waves going from top to bottom especially when there are horizontal lines involved. My monitor is connected via vga (the monitor has only vga connectivity) cable using a dvi to vga bridge provided with the card, monitor works fine on my other machine. I tested it with a DVI monitor and there were no problems there.

MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr flickering problem

Hey guys. I have a MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr and i'm having the flickering problems, mentioned already here in several topics.
I'm using Windows 7 64 and AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.5 Driver.
The S/N of my card is: 602-V303-03SB1310018161
I really need your help. Thanks in advance

It's totally easy and welll documented. You'll need the win98boot file to point the tool to or it can't create a dos boot stick.
flobelix can u tell me which version is my vbios?

MSI R9 270X HAWK low GPU usage and screen flickering problem

I bought an MSI R9 270X HAWK vga and I have this screen flickering issue.
My S/N: 602-V303-02SB1310009419
I also had another problem: the GPU usage averages at 50-55% on every game (DX9,10,11 games like TESV Skyrim, League of Legends, Crysis 2-3, Battlefield 2-3, Far Cry 3) and never reaches more than 80%(well, once I made it run at 99%, I used ultra settings on Battlefield 4 with Sync on, Ultra preset settings with 200% res. scale so pretty much the maxed out Settings). I'm using this card with 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM with a stock clocked 1090T and AMD's reply for this problem was, that this problem can be driver problem as well as VBIOS.

I created a bootable usb, placed the files in it (formated, and only these files were at the usb, dos startup directed to win98boot's folder (C:\win98boot) renamed the tv303ms.134 to tv303ms.rom,l after i placed it on the usb and in the boot menu there are four additional options related to the USB (there's no USB only option): FDD, HDD, CDROM, zip. Selecting the FDD and CDROM starts the windows normally, The HDD option ended on the white-black screen, and there's where I can write: C:\>
after this i tried to type in: atiflash.exe TV303MS.rom [enter] nothing happened, then atiflash.exe [enter] and popped up some help instructions for the use of atiflash, I pressed enter over and over and then requested another command, I tiped in the tv303ms.rom [enter] and again nothing happened (invalid command I think). What should I do now ? I did some research but still can't figure out what the problem is. :/ (If I done everything correct, maybe the problem related to my motherboard or USB stick?)

Msi R9 270X Hawk 2Gb Black Screen

It is unfortunate that this is a problem that repeat this often.
I bought the card in February 2014 and been running perfectly until a few days ago came the famous "black screens" to load the drivers, I've tried everything:
- Completely clean installation S.O. W7 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 ---> ERROR
- Completely clean installation S.O. W8.1 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 and the new bios Hybrid for W8 ---> ERROR
- Restore backups S.O. (W7 x64) where the card working properly ---> ERROR
- With the default drivers S.O. Catalyst drivers without the graphics card works perfectly but is useless for games.
I came to think that it is a hardware error and therefore RMA process.
This is the last step I can take before RMA, if no solution with a new vBios these
believe are the necessary data:

[BIOS REQUEST] MSI 270X Hawk 2GB

Hi! I have a problem with a newly purchased MSI 270X Hawk 2GB. I have tried it in the following PCs:
PC 1
Main Board: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
Bios Version: 2.30 (newest)
Video Card: MSI 270X Hawk 2GB
PSU: FSP ATX-400PNF
12v rail Rating of listed PSU: 12V1: 18A, 12V2: 18A
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz
Memory: 2 x KINGSTON 8GB HyperX XMP Blu DDR3 1600MHz CL9 [KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX]
SSD: Samsung 830 64GB (Tried with a Samsung HD502HJ HDD too, on a fresh Windows 7 install, same results)
CPU COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper TX2
OC: No
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit
PC 2
Main Board: Gigabyte G41M-ES2L
Bios Version: F3
Video Card: MSI 270X Hawk 2GB
PSU: FSP ATX-350PNF
12v rail Rating of listed PSU: 12V1: 18A, 12V2: 16A
CPU: Intel Pentium E5300 2.6GHz
Memory: 2 x 2GB Kingmax DDR2 1066MHz [KLEE88F-B8NU6]
SSD/ HDD: Samsung HD321KJ
CPU COOLER: stock
OC: No
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit
GPU S/N: 602-V303-02SB1312000115
It works with the default windows driver in both PCs, but when the AMD driver is installed it fails after the windows welcome screen. Sometimes the screen turns blue, sometimes black/grey, and sometimes there are blue squares in lines on the screen and the PC freezes up. To get it to work again I have to boot into safe mode and remove the driver with Display Driver Uninstaller, since the normal uninstaller doesnt work in safe mode.
Drivers I tried:
13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql
amd_catalyst_14.1_betav1.6
MSI Graphics Driver (both from the CD and the website)
Tried with both BIOS modes. Tried in both PCI-E slots in the asrock board. The 6 pin power connectors are split between the two rails.
I also have an MSI 270X Gaming 2GB, and it works in both PCs without issues. The previous owner updated the BIOS on that one.
I know that the PSUs are far from optimal, but they had no problems with the 270X Gaming on full load or my previous GTX275, even when I overclocked the CPU and had 4/5 hard drives in there. The PSU upgrade (XFX Pro 850W) is on its way, but it is still around a week or more until it arrives.
Here is the current bios:

I would like to try flashing the newest bios to see if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

MSI Radeon R9 270X Hawk - Screen corruption

Hello,
I dearly ask for your help, I have an issue with my MSI HAWK Radeon R9 270X, after using my computer for a while the screen on the primary/secondary monitor will become unreadable(see the first link), If I switch the monitor off via Catalyst Control Center the screen corruption will appear onto the other monitor. Maybe the newer BIOS would help, I have the same issue with another MSI HAWK R9 270X. I didn't have any problems with my former video cards (Geforce GTS 250, GTS450, Radeon 6850 and Radeon 7850).
I tried both 13.12 drivers as well as the newest betas 14.1 ,the only difference was the first target affected, on 13.12 the corruption would appear on primary monitor whereas on 14.1 it would affect the secondary one.
Also occasionally I experience the screen flicker issue as well, maybe newer BIOS could solve both of them.
My system specs:
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 with 2104 Bios version
4x Corsair XMS 2000MHz 4GB
Thermaltake Evo Blue 2.0 750W Power Supply
MSI Radeon R9 270X HAWK - Serial Number: 602-V303-02SB1310007935
Monitor#1 - IIyama ProLite X2377HDS
Monitor#2 BenQ FP73E S
Both of them connected via DVI

MSI R9 270x HAWK - Image output un-sharp/smeared

Hello MSI,
I purchased a MSI R9 270x Hawk from my friend. The GPU is working fine in games and still has warranty.
Sadly I'm noticing some weird things regarding image output that I can't explain really well. I went ahead and made some pictures with my phone:
*It's desktop wide*
What I've tried:
- Re-install Windows
- Installing a older AMD driver version
- Replaced the VGA cable
- Tried a different monitor
The only thing my friend should tell me (Got no proof if he actually did it) is that he he said that he had updated the bios with a newer version which increased performance(?).
I haven't seen this problem before or had it with my previous GPU which was a Nvidia 9800GTX+. Hopefully the MSI forum is able to help me out.
According to MSI Live Update the current GPU version is: TV303MS.134
Edit:
GPU-Z says the current bios version is: 015.041.000.000.002887 (113-C6310100-X15)

MSI R9 270X Hawk Grey Screen of Death

I have the MSI R9 270X Hawk graphics card. Recently this error occurred randomly a grey screen with horizontal lines . It occurs when I try to run a game, also it will randomly occur when the PC is just idling doing nothing, it renders the computer unusable, only 'fix' is to uninstall the 270x video drivers and run the computer with the motherboard graphics. I have the Corsair TX 650 as my power supply. I read somewhere that it might be a PSU issue but I do not believe that to be the case, it is either a driver issue or a bad card. However, for the past 3 weeks I have been running my games fine, (Tomb Raider, BF4, GTAIV, Assassins Creed 4) all on high settings, with no problems. I included a screenshot of the graphics information as well as the OS and ram etc, also a text file with all the detailed information.

Any information on a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, sorry about that.
Currently seem to have a Grey Screen whenever I boot the desktop with the graphics card installed.
1. I tried system restore to see if it was a program causing the grey screen, but same problem.
2. Tried installing the cd version of the AMD drivers same problem.
3. Installed the latest version of the driver, as well as, beta version same problem.
4. Removed the graphics card and put it back in booted up, same problem.
5. Also tried the Molex Cables that came in the box to different power supply on the PSU, same problem.

Windows 8.1, 270x Hawk and Afterburner

Hi Guys,
I bought a R9 270x Hawk for my new build, with Windows 8.1 pro installed.
I cannot get any stability overclocking this card in Windows 8.1. I have only the basic options in Afterburner, so could be a voltage issue, however, I see others getting ~1215 GPU and ~1600 Memory with stock voltage. Also, looks like Afterburner reads the memory incorrectly.
Display device : MSI R270X HAWK on Curacao GPU
Display driver : 9.14.10.01001, Catalyst 13.12
On-board memory : 3840MB
BIOS : 015.041.000.000

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Facing "Display Flickering" problem with my 15" macbook pro(A1286)while swapping the desktops and closing the tabs.....need help...reply soon

Suggest Solution for this Display Flickering problem ....

Hi, I read the post about calibration and I probably do that a little too often TBH! As I get so little time out the battery and mainly use my MBP on my lap, usually with the power supply near by, it gets charged to full, run to empty to the point of sleep, or sometimes it even cuts out and then is recharged to full again, so I really think it's new battery time. I've seen non Apple Official ones for between £35 and £65 that have 3 year warranties and state they are around 5200mh but am unsure due to reviews.
Later...
Anyway's I have now ordered a non Apple replacement from Amazon for about £35 and it has several good reviews and 4.5 out of 5 stars so I'll see if it works and report back. If it doesn't I'll send it back and get the Official Apple one.

MDIChildren flickering problem while switching between child form with dockstyle.fill and borderstyle.none

I have an mdi applicaton in Visual studio 2010 (.Net framework 4.0). I'm having a flickering problem when user switch between an MDI Child form. I'm declaring the child form then setting the borderstyle.none at design time and dock property to fill
through programming and make them a MDIChildren before I show them so that it takes up the entire space of the MDI Parent window without being maximized (client request).
i don't want to display control box(minimize, maximize,close) of child form in mdi parent form. (client request)
The problem is that when the child form is being displayed it is briefly shown in it's default size with icon and control box before being resized to fill the available area on the MDI Parent form. When a Child Form loads, you can see it in it's original
size (the size from Design-time) then all this flickering while maximizing .
In other words, child form show up in the client area of the MDIForm, not maximized, with a caption, very shortly, before they are finally filling the client area. there is a short flicker when a new form is created and displayed. This process is most noticeable
with a not-so-powerful PC or there are lots of control inside child form.
below is my code to show child form
MyChild1 c1 = new MyChild1();
c1.MdiParent = MdiMainParent;
c1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
c1.Show();
how can i solved the problem of flickering issue?
I tried many options which i have described below
1.double buffering.
2.set style property to child form
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
3. override below method in each child form
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
get
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
return cp;
4. override below method in each child form
const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;
const int WM_SIZE = 0x05;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
if (m.Msg == WM_NCPAINT)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
if (m.Msg == WM_SIZE)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
base.WndProc(ref m);
but I didn't see any effects. please someone help me to resolve flickering issue. thanks in advance.

Hi hardikvaishnav,
This is a known issue which has been reported to Microsoft Connect. Unfortunately, this issue will not fix due to stability issues around MDI. For more details, see
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/97787/border-of-mdi-child-form-flashes-up-despite-formborderstyle-none.
You might use a user control or panel instead.
