Buying NEW MSI Hawk 5770 on eBay... Warranty?

http://cgi.ebay.com/MSI-R5770-Hawk-Radeon-HD-5770-1GB-128-bit-GDDR5-PCI-Exp-/130404393405?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item1e5cb521bd#ht_742wt_1137
Like the title suggests, I'm interested in picking up a 5770 from MSI. I got one from XFX and noticed that this one is available for less. I am wondering if MSI' warranty would cover buying this product in NEW condition from an auction site like eBay.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. :-D

None mention retailers. While I would take that as "No, MSI does not exclude auctioned NEW cards that you registered to your address and user info." I'm hoping to play it safe. The Warranty Policies and Discretions don't give a definite answer, so...
I thought it was pretty clear from the opening two lines on the page I linked you to:
Quote
Besides Seller Warranty provided by your vendor, MSI Computer Corporation also provide Manufacturer Warranty to warrants its products delivered in Northern America for use in Northern America ONLY!
In order to obtain a faster service, MSI encourages customers to obtain service from his/her original vendor. However, should customers have difficulty obtaining service, MSI is always willing to assist all customers to trouble shoot, repair or replace our defective product.
Basically I'm reading that as 'if your vendor (ie the person/store who sold you the card) can't help you, then MSI will.'
Obviously, if the auction seller didn't buy the card in the USA, then that might be a different case altogether.

Need help with brand new MSI Hawk 460GTX

I upgraded my card from an 8800GT to the 460GTX. I uninstalled the old drivers because it wouldn't POST, now it'll boot into safe mode, but starting normally my screen goes black between the Starting Windows and login screens. I still get audio, but no video. I know theres LED codes on the back of the GPU, but I can't seem to figure out what they mean. Right now the first 4 LEDs are on, but the last 2 are flickering.
setup:
Intel E8400 (3.0GHz) @ 3.6GHz
Zalman NVidia heat sink
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR
4 x 1 GB OCZ HPC Reaper RAM DDR2 1066
WD 1TB hard drive (32mb cache)
Corsair TX750W power supply
MSI Hawk 460GTX
LG Superdrive DVD/CD RW drive
The only thing I can think of is starting the computer in safe mode and downloading the drivers for it before trying to boot normally.
edit: Also, I'm getting a moving mouse cursor on the black screen but no login.

Use Driver Sweeper to remove current VGA drivers in "Safe Mode":

Buy new iphone with just 30 days warranty (need help pls)

Hi all, i've just bought an iphone 4s 32Gb with zp code (hongkong) for my friend on February 11 2013. and didn't activate it until now
i looked up in estimated expiration date ended on April 13 2013.
I have no ideas why it's happen. Can somebody please help me with this.
Thank you

Someone else purchased this phone. It has been re-packaged & sold to you as new. Again, that's what can happen when you don't purchase from an authorized source...you get scammed.
Sorry this has happened to you, but no one here can help you. You'll have to deal with the folks you purchased this phone from.

MSI Hawk HD5770 Crossfire voltage/overclocking problems.

Hi everyone. This is my first post ever on a technical forum.
I've been playing around with the MSI Hawk 5770 video cards recently and I have some questions/concerns. I am running the new Catalyst 10.4 drivers without CCC installed and overclocking using MSI Afterburner. I have voltage altering unlocked (I think: Unlock voltage control checked in the properties and changed in the .cfg file) and have been able to overclock the cards to 950/1250 on stock voltages. I run Kombuster to test stability and I'm wondering, does GPU-Z read voltages correctly for these cards? No matter what I set the voltage to, GPU-Z reads 1.000v in the sensor tab.
I've been unable to break 1290MHz memory clock speeds and I'm not sure if it's because the cards I have just can't go higher or if the voltages aren't changing appropriately. When I set the memory clock to 1300 or higher, my system will freeze/hang (not crash mind you) within 5 seconds to 3 minutes of running Kombuster.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Clarification: When the freezes/hangs happen, there is not a temperature problem. Haven't seen temps above 72C during stress tests and nothing over ~70C before a freeze/hang.

MSI Hawk- AMD HD R5770 -Problem,Crash when Gaming

Hi i have a msi hawk 5770 1gb and when i playing games it crashes with a black,-grey screen!But if i downclock from 875 to 775 it works fine,the tempartures are the same (875-775) idle 38,gaming 62max..
System Specs
Intel core 2 duo e6850 3.00ghz
4gb 800mhz ram
psu thermaltake 500
mobo msi p45 ct51

1) Remove current graphics card drivers, run >>Driver Sweeper<<, reboot and install latest drivers from AMD's website. Try the drivers from MSI's website too.
2) Test the card with >>MSI Kombustor<<.
3) Test with a better power supply.
4) Test the card in another computer.
Does it happen in all games?

MSI Hawk appears to be factory overclocked to "Talon Attack" specs

I just received a new MSI Hawk card (not the Talon Attack) and after installing the AfterBurner 2.0 app I was surprised to see the following:
Core clock: 811
Shader clock: 1622
Memory clock: 1950
Again, the box it came in says plain ol' MSI Hawk, the label on the card says the same, but it's not the expected factory OC settings for this card. Hitting reset on the AB2 doesn't change anything either. Not that I'm complaining but I'm wondering which if any of the following is the case:
1: MSI is shipping standard MSI Hawks with the new faster memory and default OC (hopefully)
2. The card was programmed wrong.
3. MSI ran out of regular cards so shipped the Talon Attack card as a plain Hawk card.
4. The AB2 app is confused as to which version of the card I have (most likely) - apparently the EAN#s are identical too.
5. The latest Oct release Nvidia driver is confusing the app.
Is there any way to verify which card I have or another app that would verify the factory OC?

YEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAA!!!
We have Hynix chips, so it is a Talon afterall! Cool. Wonder if I'm just lucky this week or if this is what is being shipped out on the standard cards. It'll be interesting to see if anybody else gets one like this.
Well I'm thinking of getting a hawk(£22.00 cheaper @scan) where did you order yours from ?

IPad started saying no sim a week after warranty expired, new sim doesn't work. Apple store said nothing they can do I have to buy new iPad. Surely this cannot be true, it's only a year old on a 2 yr 3G contract please please help

iPad 2 started saying no sim, exactly 1 yr old. Went to get new sim which also failed to work, seemed to be a Lot of people experiencing same problem. 3 store said apple knows its an issue. Tried everything suggested in forums, took it to apple store for full restore. Nothing helped. Apple store said I had to buy new iPad as mine was 10 days out of warranty. Please help, surely this. Can't be the case. I thought apples customer service and products were good. I am fixed into a 2 yr 3 g contract with a year to go.

Hi Debbie, it was a nightmare tried 3 new sim cards non worked. Apple refused to help as it was 10 days out of warranty and i hadnt extended the warranty I hunted Internet and asked couple of American techie guys from my geeks . It seemed to be issue with latest iOS upgrade and my problem happened after I upgraded to its 5.1.1 eventually I had to sit in Apple store with printout of all other affected users. It seemed Americans had been offered new iPads and problem was being acknowledged but not here. Although network providers said they had a lot of customers with same issue. I did get new iPad after long battle and had to pay for extended warranty. Good luck

Can I Upgrade my OS or Should I Buy New Laptop?

OK, so I have been out of the Apple loop for quite some time. This laptop is from 2008. I love it, but the OS is too old. I can't update Firefox or download Chrome. I am a student and need to figure out a solution very very soon as Fall quarter starts next week. The college uses a site that doesn't work well with Safari, it prefers Chrome. So, I can't use my computer to do work. So, a few questions:
1. Can I upgrade OS? If so, how? Are there problems with this?
2. Should I just buy a new MacBook Air from Apple?
3. I have considered buying a MacBook Air used from Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist. Please tell me if you think this is a good or bad idea and why? What to look for on used computer? Being a student, I am obviously trying to save as much money as possible. Some say Ebay is good because of the great buyer protection. Please tell me your thoughts.
I don't use the computer for anything other than school work and searching the web. I don't need anything fancy.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

It's a good idea to hash this out with someone at the Apple Store, who can show you the latest gear and its advantages/disadvantages. My responses are only mine; I hope others will chime in.
1. Upgrade or update? You can't upgrade the OS, but every year, Apple updates the OS and offers features that can be quite appealing. I haven't experienced any problem with updates.
2. You can buy a new MBA from Apple, but I strongly suggest looking at refurbs; just as good, at a reduction in price.
3. You're safe with Amazon for the most part, though the price is nearly always retail. You can get a good machine on eBay, but it helps if you know your values and contact the seller before bidding. I don't trust Craigslist. Realize, however, that an eBay item probably won't have much or any of the original warranty, and some sellers may unload less-than-perfect machines. If you to the eBay route, insist on the return period if the machine seems to have problems.
Features you should be aware of? SSD disk size - how much space do you need? Screen size - do you want 11" or 13"? Battery issues - don't expect long battery life, though the 2013 shows an improvemen; assume you'll be using the wall adapter a lot.

I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?
iMac 27-inch, Late 2012
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

G4 400: Upgrade or Buy New?

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post after lurking in the shadows for a while. As you can probably guess I have a G4 400 that I've owned from new. It's getting slow(er) and I'm thinking of upgrading/buying new. I fancy a new Intel iMac but my budget can't stretch to it. Also the lack of CS in Universal is a MAJOR factor. I mainly use the Mac for general browsing etc and CS for Photoshop and graphic design. It's not a work machine so speed is not so important.
I was thinking of buying a G4 Macmini as a stop gap until I can afford the Intel iMac. Would this be better than upgrading the G4 400? See below.
On the upgrade path I was looking at: More RAM, CPU upgrade to 1.4MHz, bigger harddrive (I already have a 2nd 40GB drive).
What graphics card can I upgrade to? I'd like to be able to run a 2nd monitor if possible.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Hi i've just upgraded my Sawooth G4 to 1.4Gh Sonnet. It flies now! There used to be long waiting times in between rendering in Photoshop (but i'm used to it, then), but now, the spinning beach ball rarely make an appearance.
I was like you a few months back, and lots of people/friends adviced me to get a Mini instead. I'm glad i sticked with my G4 and upgraded parts, one at a time. I'm a Graphic Designer too. Though i'm using Photoshop 7, Illustator 10, Freehand MX, etc... Basically older versions.
Next up for me will be a Pioneer 110D, and i'm looking for ATI 8500 or 9000 through ebay. And maybe, just maybe a SATA card and HD.

If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.

HT3743 I purchased an iphone 3g that was to be open to any carrier, I went to restore it to my itunes account and get a 1015 error, can this be fixed. I am new to the iphone and like the product but cannot buy new. Please help. THANKS

You got ripped off. You bought a hacked/jailbroken phone. That's what error 1015 means. Return it and get your money back if possible and buy a phone from a legitimate source.
Discussing jailbroken / hacked phones is forbidden by the terms of service. Jailbreaking / hacking voids any warranty and forfeits your right to support here or from Apple. You can not get help here.

Is new MSI K9A2 Platinum DOA?

Bought a new MSI K9A2 Platinum Version 1 MOBO off eBay, installed with spacers between board and case and installed my current hardware. Power came on but, pc would not post. Monitor kept showing no signal, power and HD LED came on for 1 to 2 seconds and Green and White LEDs on MB came on and stayed on. So I cleared CMOS, took out one video card and NIC so was pretty much down to bare minimum, one video card, one stick ram, CPU, HD (SATA) and MOBO but, still suffered same issue. Is MOBO DOA?
Existing Hardware from my PC:
Antec Neopower 500 (500 watts) power supply
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ (3.02 GHz) (Windsor, 90nm, AM2 (940))
Cooler Master Aquagate Viva CPU Liquid Cooling System
2 x 1 GB RAM Mushkin: (XP2-8500, Part Number: 996535)
1066MHz Latency: 5-5-4-12 Parity: Unbuffered
Voltage: 2.2-2.35V Pins: 240
Module: 128Mx64 Chip: 64x8
2 X ATI Radeon 1950 GT running in Crossfire mode (installed both cards in dark blue ports)
Fujitsu 300 GB HD SATA
Sony DVD RW
Bigfoot NIC model: Killer M1
ATX Case with 4 X 90 MM Case fans
Initially thought could be the video cards but, owner's guide and MSI Tech Support state that K9A2 can support up to 16X, so I assume that also means it support PCIe 1.0 as well as PCIe 2.0.
Have read on MSI forum that power could be the issue but, tend to believe if I take it down to bare minimum (CPU, CPU Cooler, 1 Stick of Ram, 1 Video Card, HD (SATA), 2 X 90mm case fans and MOBO) that it should have booted up at the point.
Link to new board, MSI K9A2 Platinum, specs: http://us.msi.com/product/p_spec.asp...tinum&class=mb
Link to MOBO owner's guide on MSI, http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=do...1&prod_no=1332
Any help or ideas?
Thanks in advance

Boombox,
Good morning and thanks for putting my concerns to rest, like I said before, I have to upgrade a part at time. Next piece is AMD Phenom II X4 955 (hopefully gets here NLT Tuesday) with RAM I purchased last month and did not want to fry them first time I boot up the system. Plus I am on Day 2 since switch out of my K9A and still no issues
Also I must weigh in on MSI's RMA process, overall the process is pretty smooth, my issue is with the replacement MOBO. Guess after they tested my old MOBO (NEW OUT OF THE BOX), they had to replace it. Replacement board was USED (assuming until failure by previous owner) and had some "Cosmetic issues", 1. Copper Cooling tube is slightly crushed not sure what that does to air flow and 2. Half of the IDE pins were bent, I can't see thing in front of me, so I had to take a digital picture of IDE plug and blow up so I could see which way to bend them back. Figure there would be some sort of QC before return but, guess not......
Assuming since it all relates to this post, once I install CPU and RAM will let those that have taken time out of their day to help me, know what my latest status is. Again Thanks to all of you, hopefully I can pay back your help in the future.
