Catastrophic MSI Geforce GTX 670 failure

I bought a 670 about two months ago. I installed it with help from a very PC savvy friend, and the thing ran great for about a week. After a week I started to get random black screens and errors while watching streams or videos. "Display driver has stopped working." Nothing major, but it was concerning. I did a driver sweep and reinstalled, but that didn't help. About a week after that I started crashing to my desktop while gaming. Battlefield 3, Left 4 Dead 2, etc. It was not temperature related. At this point I began to panic.
So I reformatted my PC, remounted the card, checked the plugs... It didn't work. Nothing changed. I consulted google, and some friends, and they came to the conclusion that the next drivers might be the fix, unless I have a faulty card. Well, last night I was playing a little BF3 on medium settings before bed, and the devastation occured. My screen went black, and a noise you never want to hear from your PC blasted in my headphones. I did a hard shut down, and when I restarted, there were green lines and splotches all over my Gigabyte motherboard startup page. My desktop was the same. I restarted again, no change. I did a system restore, no change. I did a driver sweep and reinstalled them, no change. My computer is toast.
I have absolutely no idea what to do. I will put my old card back in today to see what effect that has.
specs: (Sorry for the sloppyness, I'm not very technical at all with this stuff)
Gigabyte P55A-UD3
Intel Core i5 2.67 GH
MSI GTX670 2GB
Windows 7 (64 bit) Service Pack 1
4 GB Ram (I can't remember the brand, it's been 1.5 years and a friend built the PC for me)
"Corsair TXW 650"
Thanks in advance for any help with the little bit of spec info I've given you. I'm just not very good with computers, and I just sat down for the first time since all of this happened.

Is that an earthwatts, true power or platinum?
I apologize, I crawled down to look at the back of my PC, and I have a Corsair TXW 650 on this machine. Not Antec. (The box I had in my closet was the antec from my old PC)
I don't have any additional info except what's on the sticker, on the power supply. Sorry.

MSI Geforce GTX 670 Screen Blinking

Good time of the day!
Recently bought new videocard MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC and recieved upleasent surprises of image glitches after installation. All in different time period. Could be once in half an hour, sometimes they occur once in 4 hours. Glitches looks like blank black screen for a second and then stripes on different parts of the screen. Like an anologue TV signal noise errors. Occur only on main display connected via DVI. Also have TV conneced via HDMI and no problems were noticed there, while both screens were working and main display had those glitches. Tried both DVI outputs - result wasw the same. Had N560 TI before and no problems of that kind were noticed. Using drivers 310.61 BETA.

Try removing the beta driver in safe mode using >>Driver Fusion<< and reboot. Then install latest MSI driver and retry: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N670GTX-PM2D2GD5-OC.html#/?div=Driver&os=All

MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard

Hi!
I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
Any help would be greately appreciated!

Ok, thanks for the advice.
I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer. When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this?

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4, a few seconds later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.
I have:

MAX LOAD 24A 30A 52A 0.8A 3A
I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

Got a new card today, same card but new.
No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti won't install on HP Pavillion

hello. i tried to install my MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti into my HP Pavilion p7-1045.
the computer just freezes at the blue HP screen and starts beeping 5 times, and shuts off. power was not an issue either, since i sucessfully replaced my 250w power supply with a 600w. the power supply i upgraded my PC with was a RAIDMAX Cobra 600w Power Supply.
i tried to update my BIOS, but it didn't work. i tried using the hybrid bios switch, but that didn't work either.
any help would be appreciated

The bios of that old HP machine just includes an ME7 firmware but using a GTX7xx or later requires an ME8 firmware including bios. As you are not the first with such machine here it's a pretty sure thing that there is no update available. Still you can contact HP about it. Most likely though you can't use the card with that machine. It is not a matter of UEFI/GOP or legacy vbios.
i see... well, i have already contacted HP and they said there is nothing that can be done about it. i guess i will have to return the GPU....
looks like i should get a graphics card compatible with ME7 firmware. do you have any suggestions?

PSU for MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti HAWK in SLI ?

Do you know what psu should i get for 2 MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti HAWK?

Depends what other components your system consists of. >>Posting Guide<<
But here is the link to the recommended PSU for such a combo. https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards
A 42A PSU is suggested. Thus a Corsair TX650 will suffice but to leave you with additional overhead you could opt for a Corsair TX750. The Corsair PSUs have single 12V rails which are recommended and have an above average reliability and build quality.

MSI GeForce GTX 760 Startup freeze.

Hi, first I'll start by listing specs:
-MSI geforce gtx 760, 4gb GDDR5
-Gigabyte H81.Amp-Up, LGA 1150
-Intel Core i5 4570 LGA 1150
-Corsair Vengeance LP, 2x4gb
-Seasonic S12II-620Bronze (620 watt)
-Windows 8.1 64-bit
I just recently attempted my first build, while putting the hardware together seemed like a breeze, the updating did not go so well. I booted up installed windows and went on as normal. When I opened a game it was extremely sluggish, so I decided to see if updating the drivers for the GTX 760, First I visited the official site for the drivers and once downloaded and installed was prompted to restart to finish the download. Once it restarted the entire system seemed to freeze just before windows started up. I had control of the mouse, but windows seemed to never start up. Since I couldn't access Windows I decided to re-install it. It booted as normal, so I decided to use the CD that came with the videocard. The exact same thing happened. I was thinking of updating BIOS, but that was a last resort sort of thing since I am admittedly not very tech savvy. Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

I actually found the problem late last night sorry I didn't post until now. The videocard wasn't getting enough power, I just switched leads. Thanks though.

MSI GeForce Gtx 970 Coil Whine noise threw headset/stereo

Hi, I recently got an MSI GeForce Gtx 970 and for some odd reason, when I boot up a game it starts making some sort of Coil Whine noise which is not coming from my computer, it's coming from my headset or stereo. The noise kind of sounds like an electric tooth brush. And I have read many reviews on this graphics card and people are saying that they are hearing a Coil Whine noise coming from the graphics card, but me it's my headset. It may be an interference. Anyone have any ideas?

Quote from: stephenapthorp on 11-January-15, 23:58:19
Hey man,
I am not sure about this completely but I know my buddy has a gtx 980 and he gets coil whine. It also affects his headphones when they are plugged in. He told me the sound is much better when he got a set of USB head phones. G430 ones I think.

Steve
Thanks for the tip!

MSI GeForce GTX 780 SLI question.

Hi,
I wonder if my MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming OC is compatible with the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning LE in SLI?
Thanks!
BR, Tobias

as long as both cards are using the same GPU (GTX 780 GK110) and they both have the same amount of VRAM (EG: 3GB+3GB) then they will be able to be used in SLI as long as your PSU can power both of them!
you can use SLI even with different manufacturers cards so long as its the same spec (GPU) as the other and the VRAM frame buffers match each other as both need the same amount!

Your S/N is 602-V284-230C not 602-V284-23OC
Use the attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.
