Sudden video crashes/black screen flashing with MSI GTX 680 + MSI GT 640 (PhysX)

I've been running an MSI GTX 680 Lightning + MSI GT 640 (dedicated PhysX) setup since last September with excellent results. Most of my Steam games would crash in less than 10-15 minutes before I added the 640.
Just this week, however, I've noticed a new and different problem. While playing several different games, the monitor randomly flashes black, then the game stutters and finally my whole system crashes. I've never seen this before. The only thing that seems to correct the problem is to scale back the resolution from 2560x1600 to 1920x1200 or even 1280x800.
The problem seems to be getting worse. Now, while doing anything on my PC, the system freezes briefly, the screen rapidly goes black, then turns back on and system unfreezes. This happens 3-5 times in a cycle then stops. The cycle repeats every few minutes and happened twice while typing this post.
I've got the latest graphics and other component drivers installed. All diagnostics say the video cards are working properly, but these problems persist.
Are these indications of failing video cards? Any/all suggestions appreciated.
My system specs: MSI GTX 680 Lightning 2GB, MSI GT 640 1GB (dedicated PhysX), i5-2500K, Asus P8Z77-V, Coolermaster V8, 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600, 4TB storage, Corsair HX1000, Dell 3008WFP, Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

First of all remove the GT640 so we can check if the issue is solely related to the GTX680. Then monitor temps in load and idle using Afterburner (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<)
If problem presists when not using the GT640 remove current drivers in safe mode using >>Driver Fusion<< and install latest MSI driver (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N680GTX-Lightning.html#/?div=Driver&os=All). Yes, I know that driver is older than Nvidia one but it is a surely working one with the special MSI design and features.

A105-S4384 Black screen crash with sound loop

Hi all.
Around a week and a half ago I started experiencing a weird type of crash on my 2 year old laptop. It doesn't matter when I'm using the laptop or what I'm using at the time of the black crash.
Basically what happens is I'll be using the laptop, I'll be reading something, typing up a document, listening to music, etc. The programs on the screen may or may not show ________ (Not Responding). It will then cause the screen to go black. If I'm listening to music at the time, it'll cause the music amount remaining in the sound "card's" buffer to loop. To address the issue, I have to hold down the silver power button (with blue LED light) for several seconds so the unit will shut down.
I've verified my drivers using the built in Windows tool (verifier.exe), I've passed DXDiagnostics, I've done the Fujitsu extended hard drive test, SMART testing, I did have upgraded RAM that I replaced with my stock RAM that had been put in an anti-static bag, and it still continues to crash in this manner.
This evening I also went ahead and used compressed air cans to blow dust out of the inside, there was very little dust. So overheating can't be the issue at all.
Even log doesn't show anything out of the ordinary either. There are no viruses or malware/adware/bloatware problems, no software conflicts, etc.
Could I possibly have a corrupt Windows installation on my hands? I really would like to get this fixed.
The only think I have connected to the laptop at any one time is a Logitech MX610 wireless laser mouse via USB dongle.
I've also removed and reinstalled the chipset drivers (945GM Express) and the sound card drivers, this did not help.

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when unplugged, Splash screen freeze, HEAT-UP TO BOOT

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-powe
Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears, and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling, so I'm putting 2 together.
Errors:
I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B. I ended up changing a setting in BIOS from AHCI to Compatibility Mode, and I passed everything without the BSOD again. I have always had it on AHCI.
I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
BIOS:
Also, the time was set to 1988 or something in the BIOS.
Event Viewer events found:
1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
"The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
"LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the driver wasnt made for the system, or that it wasnt compatible or something, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish after install. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine oddly. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on. No problem at all.
MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

You wont get good Nvidia ones on Ebay/forumes anywhere.
I'd beg to differ on both accounts.
*61 series nVidia-based ThinkPads from late January through July of 2008 are a 50/50 shot, since the old chips were mixed with the new ones. Any machine built in August and later can be deemed "safe".
As for the forums (I don't do feebay) there are people who sell genuine, properly-tested planars. However, these do not come at bargain basement prices, and with a good reason if I may add.
Good luck.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011) w/ML Black screen crash everyday since 1.69f4 SMC update

SInce the 1.69f4 SMC upadte installed though the App Store my Macbook has been randomly showing a black screen and the only way to get out of it is to hard reset. After that it takes a couple hours to get going again. Frequently when booting up after the black screen, the Apple logo and spinning ball disappear and it just sits on a white screen with the fan spinning like mad.
I have searched around and tried the SMC, PRAM and hdd disconnect but none of them seem to be a realible fix. It just fixes it self and boots normally when it feels like it.
I've read that black screen crashes can be a problem with the logic board but when it does boot it works perfectly ?? There is no log of any interruption in console or any sort of crash report. When it does restart there is no "your computer had a problem" message either.
Ive only had the laptop for <18months and its has never left my house, it stays docked to thunderbolt display so there cant be any physical damage.
Is there anyway to roll back the SMC firmware? it worked perfectly before this update now im losing 1-3 hours a day trying to get it started again.

do you have any proof fir this trick, because mymackbook pro early 2011 never used SSD for system and stroage.
but i had replace hardisk from toshiba 500 GB 5400rpm to toshiba to 1 TB 7200 rpm were normal almost 1 years.but gettong problem at least 2 month ago .
thanks
everybody who's get try for this trick,please posting it.

I've reinstalled, reset settings, lowered frequency, done about everything I could find online and same black screen crash.
Then I used an earlier save and... it WORKS!!!
Resolved!, somehow the latest save file seemed to get corrupt when reinstalling the graphics drivers...? Is that possible?
Thanks to all.

Resetting the settings or loading a save tended to fix the problems. No idea why.

PrE 12. How to deal with black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version"?

I'm really considering purchasing PrE 12 and would like to try it out. (I have another video editing software and would like to try this one.)
When I add video, I get a black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version". When I hit play, I can hear audio, but I don't get any video (just the black screen). Is there a work around, a setting that I can change, or is the trial version supposed to show the black screen?

Msi 290x gaming - black screen crash

Hi
Recently i bought MSi 290x gaming . After a day i has got first black screen freeze. Only way to turn on computer was unplug it and connect again after 10-20 sec. I try to use different drivers but nothing helped. Sometimes pc worked fine for 2-4 days and them 3-5 crashes in hour. It never happened in a game . always in windows . I tried different psu and nothing change .
I tried msi afterburner , set voltage to constant. change gpu memory clock ..... but nothing changed :(
I make decision to RMA card to the shop but they just send me msg that everything was fine :( any ide what i should do ?
AMD fx-8350
Asus formula z
XFX Black Edition 850W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power
2x 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM HyperX Fury Black Series
Now im running my old gtx 460 and everything looks fine :((
Any advice?
I should maybe try to sell card and buy something else like gtx970 but i just spend 270 pounds and im at least not happy .... huge disappointment

Not much to try then. Make sure bios of your board is latest and check general system stability with prime95: http://www.mersenne.org/download/

Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

Hi,
I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
Tried different slots, also clear cmos.
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: Version 296
VGA: Sapphire HD7850 1GB
PSU: Modecom Volcano 550W
Intel Core i5-3570k
MEM: Kingston 4GB 1600MHz
HDD: 2xSSD
Without OC
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
Can You help me somehow, maybe I did not check something else?

Quote from: The CPU Whisperer on 22-April-13, 16:06:05
Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

GTX750 2GC OC black screen / crashes

Recently purchased this gpu N750-2GD5/OC and i'm experiencing random black screens and crashes using different versions of nvidia drivers i tried the card on 2 different systems with every driver on the nvidia site starting from 334.89 to 347.25
Some drivers respond better some worse but the problems are the same for example the 347.09 driver will give me continuous black screens which last about 3-4 seconds making every game unplayable
Some other when the pc wakes from sleep mode will give me the black screens and low fps
And lastly i believe 344.75 made every game crash when i start them
I uninstalled every driver using ddu uninstaller nothing is overclocked and checked the pc's for stability problems running prime95 - memtest and msi kombustor for stress test which the card run fine for up to 2 hours
Overheating is not an issue with my setup checked temperatures constantly
Currently i reside on 344.60 which gives me issues only when the pc's return from sleep mode
The systems i tried the card are this:
cpu : athlon 860k
mobo : asus a88xm-a
ram : 8gb 1866 kingston
psu : seasonic g450
os : w7 ultimate x64 (fresh install)
notes : everything is up to date mobo bios and drivers
second system :
cpu : phenom 955 (no oc just so i can test the card)
mobo : dfi 790fxb-m3h5
ram : g.skill 1333 8gb
psu : ocz zt650
os : w7 ultimate x64 (fresh install)
Any clues ?
thanks in advance

You have tested your card with different pc, and it still crash. The problem must with your card, better RMA it if it is still under warranty.

'You shut down the computer because of a problem'. Mbp constant black screen crashing, can only hard reboot each time. Please help, latest report here...

Hi for the last few months my mbp seems to randomly crashing to black screen at seemingly unrelated times. Most frequent are after periods of sleep and sometimes when web pages such as youtube load. This crashing is getting more and more frequent and when it occurs only a hard reset with the power button has any effect. The screen goes completely black, no backlight, no keys work, the fans keep going and if there was a song/video playing it starts looping the last note/second of noise over and over until the laptop is reset. My worry is that if i take it to the apple store, it will decide not to crash on that day which would drive me insane as its been happening all the time.
I've sent lots of 'reports' off to apple and saved numerous panic reports, here is the latest one:

Any information on why this is happening would be so so so appreciated as losing all your work in a blink of an eye is unbelievably rage inducing.
Thank you!

You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

[Solved] X black screen crash

When I enter the command startx I get a black screen and then it crashes and returns to the command line. This has been happening ever since my compter turned itself off (I might have knocked it but I'm not sure), it was the first time it had been turned off since two updates. I have reinstalled the NVIDIA propriatery drivers and Xorg, tried a new xorg.conf, downgraded to nvidia 331.20.1 and installed nvidia-beta all to no avail(I don't wan't to use Nouveau because some Steam games don't work with it and it).
Xorg.0.log
xorg.conf
Linux 3.12.6-1-ARCH
NVIDIA 331.20.3
Xorg 1.14.5

Okay, You backgrounded the OpenBox session, then the rest of the script continues to run. Everything else, with the exception of xset, were backgrounded as well. When xset exits, the script ends and the X session closes.
Move the exec openbox-session & line to the last line of the script, and get rid of the '&' so that it does not background. When the OpenBox session eventualy ends, the script will complete and X will close
Thanks, it works now. I can't believe that I've had it like this for so long and it's worked unitl now.

Black Screen Crash. Lion. Panics. Help

Since like a month ago my computer has been crashing to black screen. I have tried many things like repair persmissions and verifying disk but with no success so far. One of the things I notice is that the crash generally occurs when using something full screen (example: gesture for mision control or making an app full screen). I have reinstaled Lion to but doesnt seem to do anything at all.
I may upgrade to Montain Lion to see if that helps but i would like to know if anyone can help me.
Thanx for your time in advance.
Here ir the Error Problem report I get, maybe it can help.

That would not be advised. May make things worse.
You are experiencing a Kernel Panic as seen and described in Apple doc.#106227.
Bad or incompatible RAM is the most common cause of KP's. It could just need to be reset……. to make sure there's a good connection.
Here's a great site for Resolving Kernel Panics. Please do all the steps in order, even if you don't think you need to do a certain step.
Here's a great MacFixIt article.
