ATI bios editor

There are sometimes questions about different vga bios-es and bios mods etc.
Been scourging the net and came up with this:
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1648/TechPowerUp_Radeon_Bios_Editor_v1.22.html
This is for all the ATi fans out there an who would like to mod their card's bios to the fullest, just like Nvidia with Nflash and NiBitor
Be aware though:
You do this at your own risk!!!!
Im not responsible and nobody here nor anyone at the site its posted is liable/can be held responsible for damage and/or not working cards!!!
Again, if you do it, its your own risk!!!
If your not familiar with such programs or bios, stay FAR FAR away from it!!
Also maybe its not allowed here, maybe it could be a (temporary) stickie, I'll see what the mod's want.
If its not allowed, I apologise, but I did it for the ATi modding community here, who are always asking about modded bios for vga cards .
If it becomes a stickie, many thanks .

so you have to get into bios
out of the windows on that,
but How?
You can't get into bios from Windows on your notebook.

MSI R9 270X Gaming - custom fan profile - BIOS editor

I have R9 270X Gaming.
I just want to know, is it possible to edit and flash BIOS by myself, only with new fan profile?
Can I do that with VBE7?
I don't want to use Afterburner, or other programs for custom fan profiles, because it crash my online games.
Mostly play BF2 BC Vietnam and FarCry 3.
Thanks

Hi !
I'm searching for a new bios for my card. I think my is too old (standard bios)

Current bios --> www54.zippyshare.com/v/76324565/file.html
No, your vbios is not too old. It is the latest UEFI vbios (TV303MH.102).

MSI RX9800 PRO BIOS Version Check

Could owners of this card post their version number, date and if possible the name of their BIOS please? You can go into the ATI Control Panel and click options then Details for most of the info. OR you can save your BIOS through ATIFlash and open it with a BIOS editor like Rabit or Radedit.
Sandra can also detect the BIOS's name through the AGP,PCI CardBus Analysis tool

Version Number: 008.015
BIOS Part Number: P/N 113-AA06905-100-MI

I just want to know if there are different versions of the BIOS out there. I'm getting not so good OC results and some people are getting very good ones like the review on the OC New Zealand site which got 479/391.5 with stock cooling
If you own this card could you please post some info.
Much appreciated.

Aaargh! 3000 N200 crippled/dumbed-down BIOS options and lack of VESA modes

Hi,
I have a Lenovo 3000 N200. The actual hardware is okay for the price (cheapest computer with Penryn CPU and 1680x1050 screen), but the BIOS settings are another matter...
The biggest issue is that Lenovo has disabled the CPU PAE/NX feature in the BIOS and there is no way to enable it. (This has been covered in another thread.) Anyone buying an N200 would have good cause to return it for a refund, since nowhere is it mentioned that this CPU feature is disabled. Luckily 64-bit support is still there, otherwise I'd definitely return mine.
That's not the only problem though. The available settings/options in the BIOS are extremely inadequate. I looked at the v3.03 BIOS update file using a BIOS editor program, and text for all the missing options is in the BIOS image -- these features already exist but Lenovo decided to disable them. Is there any chance Lenovo can enable the missing options in a future BIOS update?
Here are the main annoyances for me:
There should be an option to change the graphics scaling in the BIOS. Non-widescreen modes like 640x400, 640x480 and 800x600 are stretched horizontally to fill the whole screen. I would prefer them to be stretched but keep the original aspect ratio. Once Windows or Linux has booted, you can tell the graphics driver to do that, but that's no help if you're booting to DOS or e.g. a Linux boot CD or Windows installation CD.
There are not enough VESA graphics modes. My N200 with nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics has a 1680x1050-pixel screen, but the highest VESA resolution is 1400x1050 (modes 0x347 and 0x348), which always appears stretched. Other nVidia cards seem to use modes 0x368 and 0x369 for 1680x1050.
And here is a run-down of other options which should be user-settable but aren't:
The internal hard disk is always bootable, there's no way to set the BIOS not to boot from it. (You can set its priority lower than the DVD drive, but if there's no bootable disc in there it will always boot from the hard disk.)
The execute disable bit is always disabled, with no way to enable it.
No option to disable the 2nd core of the CPU. (Useful for testing software.)
No option to disable Intel Virtualization Technology. (Useful for testing software.)
No option to enable dynamic CPU frequency mode. (This would be useful in DOS; currently the fan spins all the time there.)
There's an interesting Linux-related option which is not selectable: 'Select IF a Video Repost is to be performed during resume from S3'. Options are 'Disabled: Never', 'perform a Video Repost upon resume from S3', 'Only perform a Video Repost IF the OS is Linux', 'Enabled: Always perform a Video Repost upon resume from S3'.
No option to choose whether there is an alarm when the battery is low.
No option to select the TV video standard (NTSC/PAL/SECAM).
No option to disable the trackpad.
No option to set the keyboard auto-repeat delay and rate.
No option to disable other hardware like the DVD drive, Ethernet card, WiFi, Bluetooth, or HD audio.
All in all, the disabled no-execute bit and video mode issues with the BIOS have kind of soured my experience with this machine. I wish Lenovo would re-enable the missing features in a BIOS update... sigh.

Respect and appreciation for highlighting the lack of BIOS features; I have been spending a long time trying to get S Video to work with my PAL tv. Only now found that the black and white result is due to unmodifiable NTSC settings in the BIOS, and now you tell me they cant be changed.
So aye, another hat in the ring for Bios Update Please.
Hmm so was it advertised in the UK as having TV out - if so and it cannot deliver it because it is NTSC only then this is not fit for purpose and you could get money back.
I'm also disappointed in the lack of advanced power management like toshiba have (dim screen and slow down CPU as battery runs down) and lack of dvd acoustic silencer.
And thanks for posting this - saves me the trouble of buying a cable to plug into the tv-out port if it ain't gonna work!

BIOS Recovery using a USB stick for S10-3t

im from south africa and am having trouble contacting my support center.
i tried to flash my bios and my netbook won't start up now, and i need to recover my bios manually.
please help me with the following:
1. procedure to use my usb stick as a recovery disk, what files need to be on it, and how to make it bootable from my s10-3t.
2. how to use the usb stick to recover my bios and boot my netbook.
please help :-)

Hi thanks yigit.
I managed to contact the service provider, but they have a lead time of about 4 weeks for a simple repair like flashing the bios...
I have an estimate of around $70 from a reputable repair center to do the flashing, with a lead time of a few hours as they do the repair on-site.
My question: does the warranty that comes with the s10-3t cover flashing the bios? If not, would it be wise for me to have the flashing done by the other repair center, and not your local service provider?
(Its actually very inconvenient, as you only have the one company being a Lenovo partner in SA, with 2 branches. And they do not collect the device for repair...
Maybe if I explained exactly what I did to land in my situation it would be best to get the best help:
I wanted to use a PCI-E modem I had already, instead of purchasing a new one at around $200. My modem is a Sierra MC8755 with PID/VID of 1199:6804.
I upgraded from Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate, updated bios from lenovo's site, then tried to install only to get the error message "Unauthorized device installed. Please shut down and remove device"
I then found online forums saying to edit the bios.
I edited my bios (24CN62WW) at MOD5100.ROM, adding my modem ID where the Ericsson F3607gw: 0BDB_1905 ID's were with Hex editor. I switched the values as required, ie "99 11 04 68"
I flashed those successfully, but still got the error message.
I then read a post that stated that you may edit the POST with the phoenix bios editor, by checking and unchecking certain sectors to stop the checking of whitelisted devices on startup. After doing this, the bios was created successfully, the system restarted but failed to boot. It starts up, and then stops after the LED's come on, and the processor light flashes once.

Have you gone over this section of the wiki and made sure everything is done? Are you using the legacy driver? If so how did you install it, and from where?

DV6-6000 LF372AV - Fails BIOS recovery

I have a DV6-6000 Prod #LF372AV where the BIOS became corrupted. Didn't attempt update, just failed out of the blue.
First symptom is turn on PC, hear fan come on then immediately reboots. Stuck in this cycle of rebooting forever. With no error codes (such as not even Caps Lock LED blink) I guessed corrupted BIOS.
I tried the Windows+B, but I've wiped this harddrive previously and the BIOS recovery partion was gone.
So, I downloaded and ran the HP UEFI Support Environment Softpaq as directed here:
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02693833.
This partially worked. With a Recovery BIOS loaded on the the USB flash drive, I can hold Windows+B at power up and BIOS loads off the USB key. However, it is NOT replacing the corrupted BIOS on the laptop.
According to the instructions, once the temporary BIOS is installed, a reboot should automatically occur. Instead, NOW it stays on (no more spontaneous reboot cycle) and I get a 2 blink error code out of the Caps Lock LED. It seems that the temporary BIOS loads into BIOS memory, but the stored BIOS itself cannot be overwritten. As I stated earlier, if I reboot, I'm back to the original condition.
So, it appears that the BIOS storage is bad. ???
Even if that is the case, I don't understand why boot into BIOS stops at the error indicating BIOS is corrupted. Obviously the mem copy of BIOS run off the USB flash drive is "more functioning" than the stored BIOS, but I still can't get far enough to get to the BIOS editor or any BIOS update utility.
I tried a second method. I downloaded the latest BIOS for this model laptop from HP support. Then I extracted it and ran the updater. It extracted an even newer version of the BIOS recovery tool onto my flash drive. This had the exact same results as the UEFI Support Environment version of BIOS. Therefore, two different versions of BIOS have failed to repair the corrupted BIOS and have failed to get me past the caps lock LED blinking twice.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi
Workaround:
There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
Restart and tap F2. F2 will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
Fix if BIOS Management is not available
i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
ii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
Let us know how it goes!

Request new BIOS for MSI R9 270 GAMING 2GB

Hi there, I use W7SP1 with a Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 mobo and the 13.12 drivers(14.4 suffer from very high OpenCL to Direct3D interop lag unfortunately, which is a showstopper with madVR) and I just bought this board with the exact same BIOS version number as on this link: techpowerup (.com)/vgabios/149707/msi-r9270-2048-131106.html
It's fairly silent under load and I'm happy with that, but when idle the fans seem hardlocked to 1040 rpm
Whatever fan percentage higher than 18% does increase the fan rpm speed, but anything lower still gives 1040 rpm.......what is the point to cool the GPU down to 28°C when its TJmax is 95°C? I would like to drop the fans speed when idle to maybe 700/800rpm and get the GPU to reach 40°C or so?
I run a SSD with a 350rpm oversized CPU fan, a passive PSU and several oversized case fans that also run very slowly, those 1040rpm are killing me....I used to own a VTX3D Vchamp HD7850 that allowed me to make my own custom fan speed curve in Afterburner: dead-silent when idle and slowly ramped up under load, perfect
Of course its cooler was a joke compared to your TF4 but you can see that Asus are now releasing graphic cards that are semi-passive with their fans shutting off until the GPU reaches 65°C, it makes no sense to me to use the TF4 at 1040 rpm when idle(and even more so on the 70W TDP GTX750Ti).
Long story short, I would really appreciate an unlocked BIOS please so I could build my own fan speed curve in Afterburner as I used to. I do plan on buying the future Maxwell's(a twice faster 750Ti would be awesome), I dearly hope that you will reevaluate your TF4 fan speed curves because otherwise I would more than likely buy a semi-passive Asus next time. Talk about wasted potential
I guess you hardlocked it so dumb ppl wouldn't set the fans to a fixed very low speed and toast the board, but posting an unlocked BIOS on your forum that's aimed at power users is just showing that you care. I know EVGA did post this kind of BIOS updates recently and you polished the TF4 cooler to such extents that it's truly a crying shame to be stuck at 1040 rpm and 28°C when idle
There is no question that TF4 is extremely effective under load with a 150W TDP GPU, but you can see that the 270X Powercolor board is quieter when idle in this comparison: tomshardware (.com)/reviews/radeon-r9-270-benchmark-review,3769-5.html
Hope you can help, I will gladly spread the word on HTPC forums because this board is close to perfection when using madVR.
Thank you very much in advance

OK thanks for the reply, but the 18% cap seems BIOS based...I have a hard time believing that they can't run any lower than 1040 rpm
Are you a mod? Working for MSI? This looks like a wild guess more than an official reply if you don't mind me saying.
For the record, that VTX3D board I mentioned in my previous PM was able to go down to 1%.
I would fix it myself but there are no BIOS editors for the R9 serie apparently....MSI simply capped the lowest PWM value: tpucdn dot com/rbe/RBE_Fan.png
Whatever way their speed's being throttled(PWM or voltage), they must be able to go slower than that. I could provide you links but EVGA did make clear that they capped the lowest speed of the fans on some of their boards so dumb users wouldn't fry them but they were entirely able to release unlocked BIOS binaries.
At this point I could either return it or unplug its fans and slap a 600rpm 140mm fan onto the board using zip ties.......it's just amazing that MSI managed to ultimately fail on such a detail. All the work put into the TF4 cooler goes down the drain
flobelix seems able to help, I hope he'll chime in: forum-en.msi dot com/index.php?topic=180521

Fan controller actually can control the fans, and the GPU gets less hot

5200 TDR128 Bios Update

I've installed MSI Live Update.
It says there's a new BIOS for my VGA card, but it can't updated cause the VGA BIOS is in safe mode, and that i need to change one jumper in the VGA card.
The problem is that there is no jumper in the card.
How can i updated it then???
Is there really a jumper in my vga??? where???
Thank you for all your help.

Well Cachirro, you have to learn the lesson. Vid cards are not like mobos.
Vid cards usually gets 99% funcionality in its bios, and you usually don´t have to update it. Anyway, I have a FX 5200 flashed with nVFLASH (DO NOT USE LIVE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I can give you the image file of my FX, but I didnt get any improvements.
What I ve done is the following. As I couldnt update the bios with LiveUpdate (but I didnt have the problem you have) I download the bios image, opened it with X-BIOS Editor and saved it as a .rom file (originally it was a .123 MSI propietary extension file). Then I updated the BIOS from a bootable disk with nvflash and everything went ok. But it is useless to update this card because I dont know of any improvement
Ask me if you want the neccessary files to do this

HD 3870 BIOS REQUEST - RX3870-T2D512E-OC

Hi, i recently bought this MSI Video card HD3870 OC: 800MHZ GPU 1226MHZ RAM (RX3870-T2D512E-OC).
The problem is that it comes with ATI Bios Rev01: 10.67 which is buggy.
I would like to have the ATI Bios Rev02: 10.71 for my video card model.
Is it possible to make the bios and post it?
Ps: We can find a lot of HD3870 Rev02 bios for most of manufacturers but the problem is that they don't have the right clocks.
And as far as i know there is not a proper bios utility working for the moment.
I would be grateful to msi if they can make this bios.
Best regards.

We can't tell you. This is a user to user forum.
How to contact MSI.
Well you can close the topic if you want to, i have almost solved everthing concerning my videocard.
I have replied to wht1986 concerning is fan problem, we all have the same bad cooling system.
I changed the cooling solution for a Zalman VF1000 (kept genuine rams rads), and put gecube bios (faster and less bugs v 10.73 instead of v 10.67 for msi card).
Thanks for your help on the forum but really disappointed by msi.
I asked them for a new bios.. and the replies were astonishing..
They didn't want to send me a bios, they asked me to use their program live update, a crap which does not work on vista 64 bit.
So ask a friend with xp sp2.
In fact, i think they don't have the new bios for the moment.
Ps: I still have artefacts sometimes playing Test Drive Unlimited, maybe it's a game bug.
Playing with NFS Pro Street no problems at all.
And the card runs faster, with no noise and really low temps!

Difference between BIOS 14CN67WW & 14CN94WW for S10e

What´s the difference between this two BIOS updates for the S10e?
And why is it the same BIOS (14CN94WW) for the two models: S10 and S10e? Before this version every bios update was an independent version for this two models.
I see that they have different summary changes but they have the same info:
If you update to the BIOS version 14CN47ww or later, you are not able to get back to the older BIOS versions.
LCD LID open resumes system only when system entering suspend(sleep) mode in the LID close state.
When Password on boot enabled in BIOS Setup, system would ask for password input on every booting, including Cold boot(power on), Warm boot(reboot) and resuming from Hibernate. The password prompt would always request for Supervisor password, however either Supervisor password or user password accepted.
When an HDD password is set, a system would ask for a password input on every booting, inlcuding Cold boot, Warm boot and resume from Hibernate.

I used 14cn67ww for the longest time because I liked how quiet the fan was during normal use. However I began to be frustrated with how sluggish the machine felt, so I tried upgrading to the most recent version, i.e. 14cn94ww. My netbook is noticeably faster, while the fan is now running continuously. From these observations, it would seem that 14cn67ww restricted the motherboard in such a way to prevent overheating the processor, thus requiring less fan use to appease complaining forum members. I think I will stick with 14cn94ww despite the loud fan noise because I prefer to use the machine to the best of it's capabilities.
The above might be specific to my case, but I can say I have been following these bios updates since the beginning of the year, so I've been able to notice the little changes that occur with each iteration. I don't have a bios editor to examine exactly what is different between the two versions, though, so you'll have to try them out yourself to see if my empirical judgments apply to your case.

AMD HD7970m BIOS for MSI GT780DXR (GPU Upgrade)

I want to upgrade my MSI GT780DXR. I want to replace the stock GTX 570m with an AMD HD7970m. In order to do this I've been told i have to do the following:
1) Buy the GPU
2) Buy a new heatsink
3) Flash Clevo BIOS with Enduro off.
Right now, I'm stuck on the third part. I don't know how to do this, or where to get the BIOS. This is what I need help with. Can someone tell me where to get these BIOS and tell me when/how to install them?
And also, if there is anything else i need to upgrade my GPU in my MSI GT780DXR. Thanks!

Talk to Svl7 if I remember the name right. He has been doing the NVidia bio's there, but I'm not sure who handled the ATI bios's, but I'm sure he knows. They are probably your best bet.

R9 270X Random Shutdowns

Hi,
I bought an MSI Radeon R9 270X BF4 edition last week and have been experiencing shutdown/restarts. They are showing as Event 41 Kernel-Power in event viewer with no BSOD's or minidumps being created. My computer ran fine when it was idle at 300/150MHz clock speeds and I have managed gaming sessions and stress tests when it was at 1080/1400MHz, but the restarts have occured when I have been watching Twitch streams and watching videos on my 2nd monitor, this looks like it is caused by the clockspeeds increasing to 450/1400 for a few seconds and then back down to 300/150.
Edit: I did have pictures linking to imgur but it wasn't letting me post them. h t t p://imgur.com/a/akTyP#0 - 1st is idle, 2nd is watching twitch, 3rd is stress test and 4th is my gpu-z output.
At the moment as a temporary solution I am using the MSI Gaming App and gaming mode and keeping my clocks at 1080/1400 to keep my computer from shutting down. Is there anyway I can change the minimum clock from 300/150 to 450/1400 which it keeps on jumping to while I am watching twitch?

reflash to attached vbios
for flashing use http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2311/ati-winflash-2-6-7/
then retest
I have reflashed the vBIOS with the file you gave me and loaded up Twitch and it didn't work as it restarted again while I was watching a stream.
http://imgur.com/a/5129o#1 The middle image is what is happening when I am watching Twitch.
I would just like to raise the minimum clockspeeds from 300/150 to 450/1400 as I don't think the graphics is getting enough power with my 2 monitors to cope with the demands of twitch at the lower performance level. There is also not enough GPU load on the card for it to be to put into high performance mode either.
Is there a BIOS editor which will allow me to increase the clocks of the lower performance level rather than using the Gaming App to force my computer into high performance mode of 1080/1400.

RX3870-T2D512E-OC v102 and v803

Hi,
I've got a pair of RX3870-T2D512E-OC, one is a v803, the ohter is v120
- On the v803, I have to edit the BIOS with "Radeon BIOS Editor" (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1016/TechPowerUp_Radeon_Bios_Editor_v1.08.html)
and change the threshold from 73°C to 35°C , because temperature increase up to 80°C (without over clocking)
Results : going back to original BIOS because it's not stable (crash / black screen => reset)
Card still very hot : waiting for fireman
- On the v120, I flashed the bios with this one (TV120MS.zip) :
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114637.0
Reason : the fan allways at 80% like a vacuum cleaner : after flasing it's OK.
I bought this cards not at the same time, but when I saw the price decrease, I bought a second one to make crossfire.
But no chance : I run VISTA, the crossfire is detected, but NOT working : I have same performance with one or two cards with windows indice (maybe it is wrong ?), and bridge is connected, dual VGA activated in the motherboard BIOS.
I have patch with SP1, trying to patch with Microsoft SLI and CrossFire HotFIX (KB936710), but still not working.... no difference.
I will test in the next days with Windows XP, to see if the problem comes from VISTA.
Be carreful with bios flasing..... v120 and v803 are NOT the same card and BIOS are different : allways make backup before.
Tool for flashing :
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/855/ATIFlash_3.49.html
Make a bootable floppy disk (without autoexec.bat / config.sys)
Get info about VGA cards : "atiflash -ai" -> give the <adapater number> if you have more than one VGA card
Save BIOS : "atiflash -s <adaptater number> <file name>"
Flash BIOS : "atiflash -f -p <adaptater number> <BIOS file>" ex: "atiflash -f -p 1 TV120MS.102"
...at your own risks...

"I've installed Windows XP SP2 from a formated hard disk, I did all the update from Microsoft, installed last DirectX9.0c (march08), Catalyst 8.3 and I've the result you see on the Windows Peripherals : Windows didn't see the same card
You must know that I have 2 RX3870-T2D512E-OC but different version...."
Yes i've noticed that, but they still have to use the same driver. It can happend that catalyst update driver for the one of the cards only.
"I will try to manually force install of the same driver. I'll give you the result."
Yes
Results :
I decided to patch catalys 8.3 as BOSSKILLER said :
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=33033
During the patch install, juste before continuing with Control Center install, I forced driver "Radeon HD 3870" (driver v8.471.1.1000) instead of "Radeon HD 3800 series" which is automaticaly installed by catalyst for one VGA card : now drivers are the same for both cards.
But allways one card in catalyst.
I tried to shutdown tne PC and change the monitor plug to the 2nd VGA card : The VGA n°2 appears in catalyst (replace the n° 1).
So the card present in catayst list depends on the VGA pluged to the monitor.
Confirmation : when a 2nd monitor is pluged (both cards are connected to a monitor), and Windows desktop is extended to the 2nd monitor, then two cards are present in catalyst.
Crossfire could work, but I think that the bottleneck is my motherboard (when dual card => PCI-e at 2x 8X due to chipset limitation).
Now "Crysis Demo SP" in 1280x1024 (high) without AA is correct.
For people who want to look into 3870 bios settings, TechPowerUp has released the "Radeon Bios Editor v1.09"
When editing your bios, you can see how fan and thermal regulation works.
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1026/TechPowerUp_Radeon_Bios_Editor_v1.09.html
Then, you can verify that regulation isn't the same for v120 and v803
As a result :
v803 is more stable with original BIOS (modify = hang)
I've flashed it with this bios revision from ATI (VER010.075.000.002.000000) and it's in test now :
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/7131/ATI.HD3870.512.071226_1.html
v120 works well with "tv120ms.102"
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114637.0
And allways SAVE YOUR ORIGINAL BIOS BEFORE !
I am very careful about overclocking, and I prefer stable system.

Video problem??

Hey everyone!
I am a noob here, but have a rather annoying problem...
I just installed an MSI 865pe Neo2 mobo(ms-6728 )and am having huge problems with video. For example; missing blocks and triangles of video and "tears" in the video. I am using a Radeon 9800 Pro, 1024 meg of Kingston DDR400, Western Digital 120 gig EIDE hard drive and a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX sound card. Running Windows XP Home.
Nothing is overclocked and nothing is overheating. I have changed everything I can think of. The original video card was a Radeon 9700 Pro, but I had a warranty and exchanged it for the 9800 Pro, didn't fix the problem.
The original RAM was Corsair TwinX DDR500, changed to Kingston DDR400, didn't fix the problem...
I swapped in a P4 2.66, didn't help so I put the P4 3.0 back in.
I am using a 550 watt psu and the cpu is water cooled and running at 88 degrees F under load. I updated the bios and all drivers. The only changes I made to the defaulted bios settings were to turn off the on-board audio and change the AGP size to 128 meg.
The only thing I can think of is maybe an IRQ problem??? Does this sound right? If so how would I change it?
Any help would be great! Let me know if I missed any info.

Does it happen in the BIOS? Does it happen in Windows? Does it happen in games? Or all three. You may be victim of a serious problem with ATi Radeon cards. Read my following post. It pertains to the P4C800/E/Deluxe boards, but you may find the same results with your setup too as it combines i865/875 and ATi!
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/index.php?threadid=28414&boardid=10&sid=f250afa38518619a662861a8a173d2f1
Also Check this out as it may pertain to you also:
I may be onto a scam at Fry's electronics or it may be happening on a wider scale. You buy a RETAIL BOXED Radeon9800 Pro 128MB. Take it home and all seems fine. But careful inspection of the part reveals the part number isn't even ATI!!!! It's a part number used for OEM for companies includiong PowerColor and Visiontek.
What's worse is that further inspection of the FCC-ID and BGA memory chips shows that the card is not in fact a 9800 Pro 128, but an SE model that has been force-flashed with the Pro bios. The card is still factory sealed, whatever the hell that means anyway. While there is an ATI logo on the fan and on the board, the board's logo does not represent the POWERED by ACTUAL ATi or BUILT by ATi designation assigned to ALL TRUE ATi cards that are REALLY made by ATi and not 3rd party vendor.
The PN to watch for is 109-A07500-00 While it is a Pro model for Visiontek, it's also the Powercolor 9800 SE card that is masquerading as a 9800 Pro, but is nothing more than a pre-overclocked card using the same ATI flash Utility I have. I flashed the ATi bios with the Powercolor SE bios and the glitches went away! I then returned it and got a different one that had the same part number but had the Visiontek Pro FCC-ID and it works fine with the Pro BIOS.
This may also explain why some aren't able to overclock their 9800 Pro's EVEN with additional cooling as the card is already clocked to it's conceivable limit, as well as possibly explain why some 9800 Pros show severe graphics corruption even with the machine set at defaults with NO overclocking. The card is OEM. But somehow is finding it's way into ATi Retail boxed packages!!! Retail ATI cards use a different part naming heirarchy.
