Artifacts during gaming with an MSI N570GTX OC

Hi there
I've had an N570GTX-M2D12D5/OC since early April 2011 and almost from purchase I've had problems with artifacts, weird texture colours, etc, on black ops.
I was going to RMA to my retailer but found that reseating the card seemed to completely stop the artifacts. In fact, the problem went away for several months and even under continuous, heavy use, I had no further issues.
Unfortunately, the problem has re-occurred now - about 8 times in the last 6 months - and is happening more frequently too.
I am completely at a loss as to understand what the problem is.
I have tried underclocking the card to stock speeds of a non-OC card and although this reduces the artifacts, it doesn't stop them (please note that my card is a factory OC'd version).
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Gary

flash vbios to the latest version: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N570GTX-M2D12D5-OC.html#/?div=Download
for flash instructions see here in the bottom of the post:
https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/msi-nvidia-graphics-cards-from-570-580-series-read-here
I'm sorry Svet but it appears I've already got the latest BIOS.
I downloaded NV801MS.KK1, then used it with the NVFLASH utility. However, when I tried to flash the new BIOS, the current and new BIOS were the same version.
I went ahead and flashed anyway and when I rebooted to the desktop, I checked GPUz and it gives the same BIOS for the g/card as in my first post:
70.10.17.00.03
What makes you think I had the wrong BIOS?
Thanks,

MSI N570GTX M2D12D5 green artifacts on graphic intense games

Hello all,
I'm hoping you guys can help me out on my issue. I have a MSI N570GTX M2D12D5 which has been crashing with green artifacts everytime I play any graphic intense games, so examples are Just Caused 2 Deux Ex - Human Evolution, Bad Company 2, and some more.
I have RMA'd the card last month believing it was actually the card causing the crashing, but now I don't believe it is. I have replaced my PSU as well due to it failing to boot-up my system. (I hope the GPU didn't cause my PSU to fail). Now everything its running fine except when I game, it crashes with the green artifacts again.
This card is stock and I haven't OC'd it yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried diffferent graphics card drivers? Did you use >>Driver Sweeper<< before installing your current drivers?
Is your VBIOS the latest available? --> http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N570GTX-M2D12D5.html#/?div=BIOS (improved stability in revised version)
Thanks for the response.
The only driver i tried was from Nvidia (280.26), and its the latest driver. What other drivers can I try? I just used the Driver Sweeper and reinstalled the driver, but green artifacts still occurring. :(
As for the VBIOS, I used the live update 5 to update my card, so I'm not sure if the VBIOS was flashed. Is that the same? If not, where can I find instructions on how to flash it? Perhaps I can flash it again if not already done so.

I just want to say, out of many previous GPUs I never had to deal with this many issues. Its also very odd how my PSU suddenly failed when I installed this GPU. Luckily I can send it in for RMA.

HD 6870 Twin Frozr 'Hawk' switches off during gaming.

Hi, I installed some new parts to my computer last week and since that I've had a strange problem with my HD6870. Sometimes during gaming the graphics card seems to just 'switch off'. So what happens is that the screen suddenly goes black, or to 'sleep mode' and the red lights also shut off on my graphics card. The computer still stays on but I'm forced to shut it down from the start button.
The fans of the graphics card also start spinning even faster than usually, which to me looks like the card has overheated and now tries to cool itself down. But I have been monitoring the heats of the graphics card with AMD OverDrive and during gaming the heat is about 50 degrees celsius which seems very low though. Maybe the program is not the best for monitoring and gives false information? But anyways, this doesn't happen every time but still 1-2 times a day and during gaming.
My specs are:
Oryxx PW-650W +5V 36A, +12V 22A, +3.3V 34A
AMD PHENOM X6 Black Edition 3.2Ghz
MSI HD6870 Twin Frozr Hawk
AsRock 890FX Deluxe5
Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Seagate 250GB Hard Drive
(Somehow tried to follow the guide of posting these)
The Hard drive and PSU are old parts, the rest is new. I also don't have any extra fans in my case put I keep one side of the case completely open.
Thanks in advance.

Also I would like to point out that actually the graphics card usually switches off when I'm done with gaming and I close my games and return to desktop, it rarely happens during gaming. I'm not sure if that has something to do with power consumption but that's just one thing I've noticed.

Do I need a UEFI / GOP Vbios?
Current Bios

Nope, GOP vbios wont help you with stability, also you use latest vbios for your card.
can you test the card in another PC or test your PC with different video card?

Z87-G43 GAMING with Killer E2205, interrupted internet connection

Motherboard Z87-G43 GAMING with Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN controller
I am using the latest Killer Network Driver (driver only) 8.1.0.23, from MSI website.
The issue:
Occasionally my internet is interrupted and my network card needs to be disabled and re-enabled again to re-establish internet connection.
I am quite certain that it is the network card or driver fault. The logic of this is that other users in my home connected to the same ISP modem has uninterrupted internet connection, while my interruption is happening. Also, as soon as I have disabled and enabled in “Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections”, the internet connection is back up. The process of disabling and enabling takes less than a few seconds.
My internet connection is automatically connected through the modem, I do not dial from my computer.
This problem has occurred ever since I got the motherboard, however it hasn’t really bothered me that much until now.
I recently started playing Counter-Strike Global Offensive, and for those of you who plays CS:GO, also knows that it is not cool to have interrupted internet connection during a competitive match.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks

try a different network cable, different router port, try reset your router and/or load its default config and/or update it firmware

Power supply shuts down laptop during gaming.

I have a cx705mx.
This happens only during gaming, everything else is fine..browsing the net, watching movies etc. So if I open a game (world of warcraft) with the power supply in the laptop will shut down within 1-2 minutes. The lights are still lit but the laptop is unresponsive, i have to take the battery out and put it back in to turn it on. However if i take the power supply out and just use battery power I can play games flawless, no problems, but if I stick the power supply back in the laptop shuts down.

It can be the problem from the adapter, but you need another good adapter to verify.
Also, try to monitor the temperature of the CPU and the GPU before the shut down and see if you're having the high temperature of CPU/GPU which caused the shut down.

PAcket loss during gaming

Hello i have been dealing with bad wifi during gaming. The wifi in general is bad but it is horrible when trying to play online! I am pretty sure that packet loss is the cause of not being able to play online games like Guild Wars and Everquest 2. Have the wifi issues been solved for this computer?

it's a little be hard to help you without laptop model and installed OS. by the way you can try to open a Command prompt and have a ping test once in command prompt type: ping google.com -t check about packet loss or errors. to stop pinging, press Ctrl+C keys

MSI N570GTX-M2D12D5 dying again?

Hello,
I got a MSI N570GTX-M2D12D5 that was running fine until 2 week ago. Got a RMA on monday, everything was fine, played Deus EX all the week and then, same problems as the other one.
I begin to notice the problem when I'm browsing the internet, the "driver" crash and recover. Then, if I go to any game (even small game like Minecraft) or Kombustor, I see artefacts.
Now, I was trying to have the card "hold-up" until I get the new card, so I told my friend "I installed Afterburner and reduced the Memory from 1900 to 1700 and it's seems stable right now!". My friend when "The clock is supposed to be 950 Mhz". So we both think that's why my card died. Another guy come by and say "Hey, mine too is set at 1900, show I lower it?".
So, now I'm confused :
If I set Afterburner to 1900 Mhz, CPU-Z is showing 1900 Mhz clock (so 1900 x 4 = 7600 Mhz ), but GPU-Z show 950 Mhz...
If I set Afterburner to 950 Mhz, CPU-Z is showing 950 Mhz (so 950 x 4 = 3800 Mhz), but GPU-Z show 500 Mhz (and state that default should be 950 Mhz). (Also, I'm pretty slow in benchmark if I use this setting).
So, questions :
1) Who is right? Is the card supposed to run at 1900 Mhz or 950 Mhz (in Afterburner). I don't want to mess another card when I'll get the RMA back. Is 1900 Mhz OK and I just got unlucky with both card died ?
2) I'm also looking at getting a better cooling (cause maybe I'll save the next one), so I wish to buy a Zalman ZF3000F. I know that other brand still warranty the card if you have an aftermarket cooler... MSI does it ?

I've had this problem since I first built this PC towards the end of March of this year. Every time I try to play games with Direct X11 enabled I can only play for about 5 minutes before I get some repeating green spots on my screen and either the program crashes to desktop or the PC just locks up. The games that I have played on all vary, Shogun 2: Total War, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, RIFT, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. When I disable DX11 everything runs smoothly and nothing happens. Only when DX11 is enabled.
Here is a picture of what happens http://i.imgur.com/dee0a.jpg
I have RMA cards twice, sent it back to newegg once. It seems to be a problem with this line of cards. No matter what drivers I update, or rollback, or change, nothing seems to fix this problem.
Has anyone had similar problems, or is my only option to pretty much beg Newegg to take it back long after the refund policy and get a new card?

I have been attempting to do that. I've followed the instructions for making the USB bootable. But when ever I go to boot, it just sits at the Windows 98 screen (30 minutes was the longest I waited)
I have already used the LiveUpdate5 from MSI, it says that all my BIOS are fully up to date.

IPad 4th generation Screen go's black during gaming

I have tried serval different types of games on my iPad 4th generation and the screen go's black during gaming . Is this common for the iPad or is something wrong with this new iPad?

Is the iPad charged when this happens?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

330M Freeze during gaming

Hey their,
I have a 2010 Unibody Macbook Pro i5 with 1440x900 screen.
I recently discovered that gaming threw Bootcamps was causing a lot of freeze on my laptop.
Freeze can happens from 30min to 2hours into the game.
Both, drivers and windows are fully updated. It sounds like a overheating issue to me which is a shame for a 2400$ products.

Both done. I'm using a fan controller and updated my drivers.
I'm using Windows 7 64bits and just played a game with GPU sensors on.
I get 76°C max during gaming, which is not so hot...

Problem with 8800GT + MSI G31TM-P21

For a while now, I've been using an 8800GT + MSI G31TM-P21 as a secondary gaming system. This has been working admirably for a few months. Lately though, I've moved the board to a new case+PSU, have changed out the RAM and added a new hard drive. Now, I'm starting to have problems. The system will boot with the 8800GT + WinXP, but is sluggish and crashes (usually a crash to desktop instead of a complete lockup) within 5 minutes of launching a 3d game. The 8800GT works fine in another system - it stood up fine to an extended gaming session on a different P35 board. I loaded Win8 just for testing purposes, and the display driver crashed just doing desktop operations. I also ran Memtest86+ for about 12 hours on the RAM with no failures. The head scratcher is that an even more ancient Radeon X1800 GTO seems to work fine with the MSI board. System config is below:
MSI G31TM-P21 (not sure about BIOS rev)
Intel Pentium Dual-core E5500 @ 2.8GHz
2x2GB Kingston Value RAM 800MHz DDR2 (dual channel)
LG DVD+RW
2x7200RPM drives and one 5000+ RPM "Green" drive
Windows XP SP3 32-bit
Arrow "500w MAX" PSU
A bit more about the PSU - it's a cheap, older model with a 20-pin power connector. As I understand it (and I could be wrong) the extra 4 pins just power the PCIe video card, which are unnecessary since the video card has a power cable all its own. This setup worked fine in my old case, with an even older PSU. I guess my next step would be to resurrect my old 300w PSU and see if it works properly, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas before I tear my case apart. BTW, there is no overclocking going on anywhere in this setup...
UPDATE: Took a closer look at the old PSU, and it was an Allied/Apex 300 watt with (get this) 10 amps on the +12v rail. Nonetheless the 8800GT seemed to work fine on it. The "new" PSU has 17 amps on the +12v rail.

That $25 Arrow 500W with +12V~17A is a joke. Any decent 500W PSU should have at least +12V~30A. I wouldn't trust that thing any further that I could throw it and at my age that's not very far. Even a Corsair 3 year old VX450W that I have has +12V~33A. You need minimum of +12V~26A for system with that graphics card to begin with, see the chart here: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards. You're lucky that PSU you had before worked at all in your system.
Get a Corsair PSU, a CX430W V2 +12V~28A would do but better would be the CX500 V2 +12V~34A. Even more power would be needed if you intend to upgrade to later and greater more power hungry VGA card any time soon.. See the Corsairs here:

G505s are high apu and gpu temps normal during gaming?

Hi, I'm new to Lenovo laptops and new to Amd processors so need a bit of help/advice regarding my G505s with 2.5ghz A10 Apu and 5750 Gpu.
I have had this laptop about a month now and overall I'm impressed with it including its ability to play a lot of demanding games such as Battlefield 3 and even Dayz! Although the laptop runs these games on decent settings and maintaining good frame rates, it has one down side, it gets hot!
After about 20-25 minutes playing battlefield 3 on high settings the laptop gets to hot and restarts without any notice. If I turn the game settings down to medium then it is possible to play a bit longer before the laptop restarts itself. The only way I've managed to play without the laptop restarting is by going into processor power options and changing it from 100% to 99% maximum processor state. This means the Apu clock speed is reduced and it doesn't go into turbo mode. However by doing this I am losing processing power (max clock speed reduces to around 2100mhz) and the laptop still gets very hot.
Using various temp programmes I am getting Apu temps of around 90-94 degrees Celsius and the 2 gpu's are around 85-90 degrees Celsius. To me the fan doesn't seem powerful at all on my laptop and even when the laptop is really hot you can hardly feel any hot air being blown out of the vent. The keyboard on the left hand side and the case above the vent gets very hot to touch and makes using the laptop uncomfortable.
Basically I just want to know does any one else that owns this laptop experience these high temps during gaming? I also get similar temps when just streaming films over netflix although not quite as high.
I know this isn't a dedicated gaming rig so heat isn't going to be ventilated as well as it could be but these temps seem worryingly high to me and I don't want long term damage by using it running too hot.
Hope someone can help me
Cheers in advance

IMac 27, i5/i7 - Fan speed / temperatures during gaming?

Hi all!
This is my first post in this forum. I have searched a lot in the internet, but I have not found any reliable information on this topic.
I currently have a MBP (see signature) and I am really happy with it. However, each time I am playing a game (just casually), the fans accelerate to 6200 rpm within a few minutes which is really annoying (= very loud, high frequency noise). Typical games are Sims3 as well as the Steam games TF2, Portal, and Torchlight. Furthermore, I am playing games like Black&White2, Bioshock or Chess using Parallels 5/Win XP.
I am now looking for an additional desktop computer - and I am loving the idea of buying an iMac i5. However, I would really hate to hear this loud fan noise again... (the alternative would be a Dell XPS 7100, but I really love OS X after 20+ years using Windows).
Thus, I am looking for reliable data (fans rpm, cpu/gpu temperature) during gaming (under steam os x, parallels, and boot camp). Also any experience on long-term reliability of iMacs used for gaming is appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S.: Hope my english is not too bad, since I am not a native speaker...

It's a simple match - the more power your computer uses, the hotter it gets, and the faster and louder the fans. The graphics card and CPU are the most power-hungry parts, and are used at a high percentage during gaming.
That said, my current iMac is the i5 (27", 4850) and it doesn't spin up the fans at all playing Torchlight at full native resolution. It does start whirring a little playing Bioshock/Portal/HL2, but not so loudly - the fan speeds go from 1100 (normal, nearly silent) to 1450 or so.
Temperatures I've not followed - but they don't actually matter, just the noise that is made to keep them under control.
In Boot Camp, much the same - although I don't have a fan-speed monitor for Windows, again HL2 would just slightly speed up the fans.
But! I would suggest waiting a short while, it's 10 months since the iMac range was last refreshed so it could be just about time for them to be updated.
ps Your english is perfect, I would never have guessed you were not a native speaker.

Problem with apple installing with itunes.msi in windows 7

At the beggining my computer showed an error with itunes.msi and I tried to fixed the error. Then I tried again to install the itunes but now itunes say that the program cant be installed. Can somebody help me??? Thanks

Hey vic22,
Sylvia is correct -- the 9174 has been thoroughly tested on the USB 2.0 standard. But we still expect it to communicate properly with USB 3.0 ports. We have seen a few cases in which specific host controllers cause unexpected behavior similar to what you describe, but in general, our USB devices are compatible with USB 3.0.
Of course, if sticking with a 2.0 port works for your application, that will be the quickest/simplest recommendation that we can make. If you need to move your cDAQ to a 3.0 port, let us know -- there are some troubleshooting steps we can take to figure out why you're seeing errors.
There are some additional details in this somewhat related article. Upgrading the drivers for your USB Host Controller might be worth a shot.
