5600FX losing signal during games...

Greetings, any help here appreciated.
During gameplay I seem to lose the signal from my graphics card. As if I had shut my computer down and left the monitor on.  After the signal is lost, you can hear the rest of the system hang, random wierd noises and such.  This has become more and more frequent lately, though initially after I installed the video card I didn't notice any crashing.
Games that have crashed:
Morrowind(crashes very frequently)
Ghost Recon
Max Payne 2
Diablo2(only a couple times)
Thinking this was perhaps a windows issue I reinstalled windows(and nothing else unnecessary), tried both MSI and NVIDIA versions of drivers with no improvement.
I have swapped my card with my roommates(MSI NVIDIA Geforce4 Ti 4800SE).  I have had zero crashes or anything even similar to a crash.  My roommate hasn't encountered the loss of signal issue but he has had more crashing to windows issues with my card.
Note I am not an overclocker nor have I done any similar fiddling.
Any Ideas? Just a bad card?
Thanks

  • Radeon card keeps losing signal in games in 8x AGP mode.

    I have a problem with my boardand i was wondering if anyone else had the same problem.
    i have a MSI K8t Neo2
    Athlon 64 3500+ (Venice)
    Radeon x850xt PE
    1 gig ddr 3200 ram in dual channel
    In 3d applications my monitor looses signal so i thin ktis a graphics card failure. It only happens in 8x AGP mode, when i use 4x mode everything is lovely and stable.
    I have to keep rebooting and its getting annoying, id rather run my system in 8x mode than 4x mode even if i only gain marginal performance increases.
    I have all the latest drivers and bios.
    the gfx card has fast writes on and vlink 8x on. the frequency is set at 66mhz.  The voltage is set at default ( with higher voltages the problem seems worse)
    I am wondering if the problem is related to the Ram as its running in dual channel but the 2 modules are not a matched pair but are by the same manufacturer I belive they run at the same timings.
    I know its not the cards fault as i just upgraded fro ma 9700 pro and the same problem occured.
    Is this a fixable solution or do i just have to wait for a new bios???
    Thanks
    Adam

    I doubt it. Certain ATi cards are known to be at odds with this board. I suspect it can and will eventually be fixed in Bios but I am not an authority on the matter. If you suspect it's your board maybe the better part of vallor is to contact MSI and explain the issue to them. If they feel it's your board then they will give you an RMA. Some folks have done certain testing on an issue in the past and MSI has sent them a specific Bios version to test out as well. So it is hard to say how they will handle the issue unless you get hold of them.

  • MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum - Freezing Issue during games

    First off greetings to everyone on these forums...
    I purchased the MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum motherboard from NewEgg back at the end of March to compliment the AMD 64 "Winchester" processor that I also purchased at that time to replace a slightly older AMD XP "Barton" system that was using the Abit NF7-S motherboard. For the past month I have been fighting an unusual and highly irritating issue that I have noticed during game play and have tried everything that I know of and more in an attempt to remedy this issue, but to no avail. This is the general background of the situation and now I will descibe in greater detail as to what this issue I am referring to is and the symptoms of this issue and some of the various methods used to remedy this issue.
    The issue is that while play a game the system experiences a short 5-10 second freeze during the game randomly, but usually several times an hour. During this freezing the sound would loop and as suddenly as the freeze occurs it would cease and the game would continue on as if nothing happened. However, sometimes this would result in the system freezing outright after this short 5-10 second freeze... but it does not feel like a total system freeze, but rather a video freeze as the sound continues and I still have keyboard control... but this does require me to force a manual reboot of the machine itself. I have scowered the internet and various forums in an attempt to find what the issue was and use various methods to remedy this issue, but so far nothing has worked in my favor... but it does seem like this issue has been plaguing other users with the MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Below are some of the methods that I have used in an attempt to solve this issue:
    *Default Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU; Over/Under Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU
    *Increased voltages to CPU VID, AGP, and Memory
    *Disabled/Enabled AGP Fast Writes
    *Increased AGP Aperture from 64MB to 512MB
    *Enabled/Disabled ATI/nVidia Speedup option in BIOS
    *Forced AGP clock lock to 66-67mhz
    *Relaxed/Aggressive memory timings
    *APIC enabled/disabled
    *Gate A20 turbo/normal
    *Disabled all unneeded onboard components (Realtek NIC, Sound, SATA)
    *Disabled nVidia MAC and attempted to use 3Com Gigabit PCI card instead
    *Swapped HDD Cables
    *Tried PCI Sound Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) in PCI Slots 3/4
    *Tried video drivers from 71.89 Official to 76.45 beta modified drivers
    *Tried 5.10 official nForce drivers to remixed 7.02 nForce drivers (5.10 drivers uses 4.36 GART, higher drivers uses the 4.40 GART)
    *Applied all the latest updates from Windows Update Website
    *Reinstalled Operating System (Windows XP SP2) 5 different times clean with various settings (APIC on/off, etc...) and different drivers.
    *Installed Audio Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) with older and the latest drivers available from Creative's website
    *Replaced PSU (Previously was a Thermaltake 420watt PSU, 18A +12v) with a OCZ Modstream 520watt PSU (28A +12v)
    *Video card is KNOWN working from previous build (AMD XP 3000, Abit NF7-S)
    *Hard Drive is KNOWN working from previous build
    *CD/DVD-ROM drive is kNOWN working from previous build
    *Heat is not an issue... all components temperature is well below rated level, the only unknown is the chipset temperature (it has a active heatsink and seems to not be hot to the touch, applied AS5 to it anyway)
    *Used latency tweak to the video card
    *Used Rivatuner to force constant performance level
    *Tweaked BIOS to force even clock rates and forced 1.4v to the GPU Core
    *Used original GPU BIOS
    *Used MSI Neo2 K8N Bios 1.4 - 1.8 and modified BIOS 1.8
    *No background applications are running (not even antivirus)
    *Used application to force maximum refresh rates for my monitor
    *Memory passed MemTest86+ for over 24 hours
    *System passed Prime95 and SuperPi for over 24 hours
    *System seems stable in all non gaming related applications
    *Checked through various troubleshooting procedures
    *Disabled SBDRVDET.EXE using MSCONFIG
    *There are no IRQ conflicts outside of PCI system management sharing IRQ11 with the NIC and USB... in APIC there are no IRQ conflicts what so ever. Regardless neither method worked
    *Installed AMD 64 drivers from AMD
    *Disabled DEP in boot.ini
    *...and many other various tweaks and modifications.

    I have been fighting this issue for well over a month now and I am frankly nearly out of ideas, this does not necessarly prevent me from playing games, but this does interfere with the games I do play (especially online games). I do demand absolute stability from the games that I play and this issue only began AFTER I upgraded to the new motherboard, processor, and memory. The only thing I have not tried is something that I do not have access in attempting on this motherboard, and that is increasing the voltage to the chipset.
    Here is my theory on what is going on is that I believe is there is a fault with the chipset on this motherboard and this is manifesting itself while I am playing various games on this system. Of course I would like to try increasing the voltage to the chipset as that would increase stability, but there is no option in BIOS to increase the chipset voltage like the previous motherboard I had (Abit NF7-S). It is possible that either a) the chipset is at fault and is causing me this issue or b) the chipset is not recieving enough voltage.
    My question to the rest of you is this, what do you think the problem is and what ideas do you have that I may try that I have not tried yet. Additionally if there is nothing else that I may try should I attempt to RMA this motherboard and will that help, and is there any other versions of this motherboard that I should be aware of. I would appreciate any response from a MSI representative and any comments from those that may have positive suggestions for my issue. Thank you in advance for your time and any help that you may be able to render.

    *EDIT* Added additional methods attempted... (there was a lot... so I did not remember everything that I have tried)

    Quote from: dacull on 25-May-05, 16:06:33
    Does it only happen in online games, or can it happen in all games? One thing to make sure of is to turn off CRC checksum offload in your NVidia MAC properties (everyone do this, it is incorrectly calculating checksums which leads to servers ignoring your packets). However as you have tried a different network card you can discount this theory.
    For me it looks like the biggest culrpit is your 6800NU, i have read alot of bad things about the NU and you have a low bios revision there, just because it worked well against your old chipset doesnt mean it will work well against your current chipset. Sounds like a BIOS fix is needed as some timing is out somewhere.
    Ensure Spread Spectrum is off (and as you have already pointed out Fast writes, ATI NV Speedup) and your card is running at default clock.
    As a test beg/borrow/steal another graphics card (preferably nvidia) and see how it goes so you can narrow in on your video card.
    It is not just one game, but it is more prodominate in certain games than others... the game in question here is Planetside... though I stuck a demo of Unreal Tournament 2004 on a loop bot match and it seemed to have locked up after 4 hours (not sure how many times it experienced that 5-10 freeze as I went to bed). As for the video card it was KNOWN working from a previous build in those same games (Previous build was a AMDXP3000 and a Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard). The only components different in this build is the AMD64, the MSI Neo2 K8N, 2 new sticks of Corsair XMS to replace the Corsair ValueSelects, and the SB Audigy2 as I would never use a software codec audio solution. Spread Spectrum is LOCKED in BIOS and disabled... ATI/nVidia speed up was disabled from the start... and I tried the Video Card at default clock, over clocked, as well as under clocked and the same issue resulted... as I said before it is NOT the video card.
    There are two other things I could try is use my old Geforce4ti 4200 and see what happens... or even try out WindowsXP 64-bit edition as someone earlier suggested. I wish I could find a new BIOS for my XFX 6800NU, but there there is only the revision 1 BIOS that I was able to find. The mystery continues...

    Hi Sukanta,
    I didn't really understand what the problem is...
    Let me explain, hope it will be clear.
    You created a standby control file, and backed up the database (it doesn't matter in which order). Now, you have a standby database that is ready to apply logs. It will be able to apply log forever, until we will stop it.
    The messages you see say the following:
    ORA-00279: change 51667831821 generated at 07/02/2009 01:19:40 needed for thread 1 {color:blue} - this says that the recovery process is now at scn 51667831821 {color}
    ORA-00289: suggestion : /nodal-archive/archive/1_55121_652209172.arc {color:blue} - the information needed for the recover is in this file (this is only the default name, you can choose other name if the file is called differently) {color}
    ORA-00280: change 51667831821 for thread 1 is in sequence #55121 {color:blue} - same here, the needed archive is sequence 55121 {color}
    ORA-00278: log file '/nodal-archive/archive/1_55120_652209172.arc' no longer needed for this recovery {color:blue} - this message is after Oracle has applied the log, and it means that this log is no longer needed {color}
    Now it will wait for the next log. Again, this process is endless, this is how it is made to allow the standby database to be always synched with the primary.

  • Z10 loses signal during a call

    I have a issue with loss of signal during a call on my z10.
    When the automatic mail checking enabled and during a call mail is checked, I hear snatches of words and communication break, look at the screen see the message "network is busy" and zero signal icon. But after a few seconds the signal becomes full again.
    Sometimes I have to call back 3-4 times to finish the conversation.
    I have tried different OS versions, but nothing helps.
    I had to turn off push notification in gmail account and switch to manual mail check for this to happen as infrequently as possible. But still it happens sometimes.
    Many users from Russia have same problem.

    P.S. Sorry for my English

    Hey TalG,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest removing the battery and placing it back in.  If the issue still persists, then I suggest contacting your network service provider and try a new SIM card.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Why does my mini keep losing signal

    I have a G4 mac mini and have it connected to my TV, however it keeps losing signal does anybody why?

    can you try to fix the problem into a corner maybe, by checking if you can connect to another TV or Monitor, or by exchanging the cable?

  • Sky HD box keeps losing signal but is fixed with a power cycle

    Hi all, I'm having issues with my Sky HD box. Every day  (recently), I'm having to powercycle the box to get a signal.After the power recovery the signal is fine, so I think the dish is fine. It's seems the the box is losing signal while it's on stand by mode. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Jason

    I had this problem too but in the end the solution was for Sky to come out and replace the dish and LNBs, since when the signal has been perfect. I would check what signal strength you are getting - I believe it's in the settings menu.

  • ORA-279 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER  automatic standby databas

    Hi,
    oracle server:8.1.7.0.0
    os:solaris 5.9
    we created standby server by taking coldbackup of primary server and we are using rsync to syschronize the archive log files between production and standby servers but every over we recover the standby server by executing
    sql>recover automatic standby database:
    but in alert log file i am getting the following error :
    but when i googled for ora-279 error some people says it is default behaviour and can it be ignored and why it is asking next logfile.

    damorgan,
    He is running 8.1.7.0. "DataGuard" scripts were initially available for 9i and then
    backported (and available as a seperate download) for 8i. Many 8i implementations
    did not and do not use DataGuard.
    Even if it is "Jurassic" {which it certainly is NOT}, they obviously do have a good
    reason for setting up a standby -- they DO have data of value. So, maybe they have
    not upgraded to 9i or 10g. There could be a dozen reasons
    1. Server HW/OS doesn't support 9i/10g, not budgetting for Server upgrade
    2. Application using Forms 2.x or 4.5 and not tested on 9i / 10g (4.5 not certified
    on 9i)
    3. Low end client PCs working perfectly with Character-mode forms, not powerful
    enought to run Jinitiator and Forms 6i / 9i
    Just because someone hasn't upgraded to 10g doesn't mean that they are at fault
    when you do NOT know the reason why they have not upgraded.
    Surely, they do know that 8i is desupported. Don't you think that their management
    has undertaken due diligence / cost-benefit analysis in considering whether they
    should upgrade to 10g ?
    Maybe they have another project implementing 10g in parallel and will be able
    to shutdown this environment soon. Maybe they don't need to do so.
    Do understand that people are intelligent enough to make their own decisions
    considering their particular circumstances and don't go shooting off with your
    assumption that anyone not running 10g is a dinosaur.

    Go through your alert.log for the last few messages relating to Log Sequence#1572. It may well still be an Online Redo Log.
    However, you started this thread without explaining what actions had been performed before the startup attempt that returned ORA-1589. That wasn't very professional of you.
    A doctor doesn't go ask other doctors for assistance with "my patient's heart is failing, what do I do" without saying "I had attempted open heart surgery and, during the course of surgery, found that his heart beat was irregular, however, I had already cut open his chest ... now what do I do ?"
    We do not know if
    a. You had restored a control file
    b. You had attempted a RESTORE and/or RECOVER database
    c. There had been an instance failure / server crash / corruption / error relating to a control file
    d. Some error had occurred before the STARTUP attempt that you posted
    e. Any other messages were posted to the alert.log
