Fast boot with MSI Geforce GTX970

Hi!
I just tried to enable Ultra fast boot in my ASRock UEFI,.. didn't work. I learned that I need a GPU which supports GOP. Does my GTX970 support this protocol by default? Do I need to flash a VBios?
S/N:602-V316-03SB1409025050
I have difficulties saving my bios with GPU-Z (version 0.8.0 and 0.7.9). It says: 'BIOS reading not supported on this device.'
But msi LiveUpdate says I'm using NV316MH.125.....I don't know if this is helpful.
Windows 8.1 64-bit
ASRock Z97 Extreme4
msi Geforce GTX970 Gaming 4G
Xenon E3-1231 v3
Thanks in advance.

GTX970 should supports GOP originally, so you don't have to flash VBIOS.
NV316MH.125 means it's a GOP VBIOS,  if it is NV3XXMS.XXX means non GOP.

  • MSI 970a-g43 CPU fan always at 100% when fast boot or MSI Fast Boot is enabled

    I turned on fast boot in my motherboard in my BIOS but now whenever I boot into windows the CPU fan is always at 100%. I really like the performance gain from fast boot, however I can't stand the CPU fan always at 100%. The fan normally runs at ~1150rpm when its off but when its on it runs full blast ~2800rpm.
    My specs are:
    MSI 970a-g43
    AMD FX 6300
    MSI HD 7870 OC Edition (Flashed with GOP vBios)
    2x4 8gb DDR3 g.skillz ram

    I have it set to 55c smart fan control in the BIOS. With fast-boot off it works perfectly. It seems like its not lowering the fan like it normally does when its on. If I go into the BIOS and reset it it'll work fine the first time, but after that it'll do the 100% fan speed all the time.

  • Problems with MSI GeForce 7900 GT/GTO. Please Help!!!

    I purchased an MSI GeForce 7900 GT/GTO last summer. At first it was working fine. I would get the occasional automaic restart in the middle of a game, but other than that it was fine. Now, almost a year has past and the product I payed good money for isn't working as it should, to say the least. I get many artifacts in all the games I play. The artifacts are the same in each game, although they more numerous in some then others. The objects in-game are connected by "ropes". There are strange colors on the walls. Sometimes the screen starts flashing different colors and the artifacts become impossible to ignore. I've had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out of a game numerous times only to be greeted with a flashing desktop. Then I have to do a hard restart. It seems that the problems are getting worse as time goes on. The artifacts were not this bad before, but now I can't play 30 min. of any game without having these graphical artifacts. The glitches are worst in the Tomb Raider: Aniversarry demo and Test Drive Unlimited. I also see the artifacts in Half Life 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas. I haven't overclocked my card at all and my fans are working as they should. The temperature of the card is running at 55 degrees at the moment. I believe during games it goes up to around 65 which I don't think is bad. I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers. I sent an email to customer service explaining to them what the problem was. In the email I asked them to email me back as soon as possible to let me know what information to send. I have yet to recieve a reply and its been almost a week. When I payed for the card I didn't expect that it would fall apart in less than a year. This is just outrageous and I am disgusted with the "customer service" that MSI has to offer.
    (Some of the artifacts, such as the flashing colors, couldn't be captured in a screenshot)

    have a try with better one, your VGA required at lease +26A on +12V.
    get a decent PSU, single rail with high amperes on +12V (30A or more are recommended)
    read here:
    PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth
    Is your problem caused by your PSU?
    Good PSU recommendation:

  • Problem with MSI Geforce FX 5200 & Westinghouse LCM-22W2

    I've tried a bunch of different drivers and the highest resolution I can get displayed on this monitor is 1440x900. it's native resolution is one step higher, 1680x1050. Anyone have any ideas as to why my card refuses to display anything higher than this, even tho the latest drivers i have and all MSI's information specifically states that it should be capable of doing so?
    Thanks,
    -John

    here's my specs - if i'm missing anything important let me know.
    MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
    Athlon XP 2100+ (overclocked, recognized as 2700+)
    MSI Geforce FX 5200 VTD128
    1 GB RAM
    Win XP Home, SP2 completely up to date
    The Nvidia drivers are version 6.14.10.9371 released on 10/22/06 - I had a newer version but they didn't fix any problems, at this point i'm honestly not sure why I went back to this version :P - I had the absolute latest version from Nvidia's site, which the release notes specifically stated supported the Non-traditional 1680x1050 resolution, and that the FX5200 was supported by these drivers. Still didn't work.
    The GPU Bios is 4.34.20.23.08
    Also, upon startup my system was kinda hanging and I would get a notice that SW20.exe had crashed. I disabled sw20.exe and sw24.exe from starting up when the PC did and have no problems. It's not liek I miss them, cus I never used the overclocking functions of the graphics card anyway.
    Originally XP was recognizing my monitor as a "Plug and play" monitor. The manual says this:
    "VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the LCD monitor."
    Right now the monitor is running with a custom inf file that PowerStrip (Which I downloaded from a link I found here) created for it. Westinghouse has no drivers or anything remotely helpful on their website.
    Also, I'm using a Dual-link DVI cable, the monitor also has a VGA input.

  • How to disable AGP Fast Write with MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ??

    How can I disable AGP Fast Write with the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ? I can't find an option for this in the BIOS !

    You wont usually find this option in most MB BIOSES , as the only Option that SOME BIOSES Have is the Option to enable, disable SBA (Side Band Addressing) for the AGP Bus....In order for you to Disable or Enable the FW, You Must have the Option in your Vidio Drivers Controll Panel.....If you have a NVIDIA Card, you Must go to  http://www.guru3d.com  And Download the program "NVHardpage" and then Open the Program and you wil have the Choice to Enable these options and they will then appear in your Vidio driver CP >> "Activate "Coolbitts" (this is NVIDIAS Overclocking Utility) Activate "Harware Options", and then Activate "AGP Options" and finally Activate "Performance Options"........If you have a ATI Card then you must Download one of thier "Tweeking Utilities".......I will Post the Direct "Link" for NVHardpage in a Minute, just say yes to the Lic.

  • K7T266 Pro2 boot hangs with MSI GeForce 4 MX 440

    Just installed the mobo and VGA combo mentioned in the Title and I get very regular boot freeze - mobo beeps and hangs with 2 possible results - 1/ no video signal 2/ garbage on screen
    After many many restarts the system boots OK. On next power-up the same story.
    The BIOS is dated November 2002 (sorry, cannot find the version string now) , the GF4 card was tested with 2 versions of its BIOS: 4.17.00.24.36 and 4.17.00.30.00 and the result is the same.
    CPU is Athlon 1200, 512 MB DDR RAM.
    Any help appreciated. If it is necessary for me to provide more information, I will be happy to do so.

    What OS are you using?
    Did you do a clean install after installing the MB and Video Card?
    Did you update your Video Drivers to the latest and greatest?
    What version of Directx are you using?
    Did you set your BIOS settings back to default?
    What other hardware are you using that may be incompatible with the MB and/or Video card you're using?
    Check to see that you didn't accidently knock one of the memory modules loose when you were installing the MB.
    Also check to see if your processor fan has enuff thermal grease and is seated on your processor properly.
    Hope the checklist helps...I had the same problem with mine when I got it and I flashed the BIOS then reloaded my OS when that failed to fix it. It's been great since then. Remember to backup any data that you might want to keep before you reload though...GL! 8)

  • Unable to boot with MSI X58 PRO-E and OCZ3P1333LV6GK

     Hi,
    This is my first post in this forum.
    I've had this system for about 6 months, and from time to time I kept having instant reboots and once the PC would never start, I think I've sorted that by first flashing an old MB BIOS and then the most recent.
    Tree days ago I've had another instant reboot, but now the system stops/reboots when the coloured animation starts to appear above the "Loading windows" message. This happens with both Win7 32 & 64 bits and even with the windows 7 installation DVD !!!
    I think I've tried all combinations of the other posts where the MB+memory was the same as mine.
    Another strange issue is: the memory PN shown inside the BIOS (OCZ3G1333LV2G) is different from the label on the memory (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)!!
    I've already tested with only one memory chip at a time, the result is still the same.
    I've only got connected the following: Video board, 1 RAM chip, USB Keyboard & one SATA HD. No over clocking whatsoever !
    What else do I need to do to finally boot to windows ?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Paulo
    My System:
        Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E, model MS-7522, version 3.1

        PSU: Combat Power CP 750W

    Hi Henry,
    Thanks for the help.
    "What are your RAM timings? Screenshot of CPU-Z Memory tab and SPD tab."
    I've added a few screenshots of the memory, the SPD & CPU-Z tab, plus a MEM86 test with only on memory stick installed. It appears that the memory is OK... or not ?
    "Do you have another video card you can try? Those Sapphire Vapor-X cards have been a problem for others in the past."
    I wasn't aware of any problems with this video card, I use it mainly to send movies to my big LCD TV through the HDMI port. I don't have access to another video card, sorry...
    I don't know what else to do, do you think it's the PSU ?
    Regards,
    Paulo

  • MB RS480M2 will not boot with MSI videocard R5450

    I purchased R5450 vidocard via internet, put it on MB RS480M2 and the latter did not boot afterwards.
    (Tried everything). (It worked in another computer.....)
    I cannot sent it back: waited to long.
    Is there something with my BIOS?
    I have the latest official BIOS:   V3.9
    What can I do: I expected that a PCI-E card from MSI should fit on a MSI MotherBoard with a PCI-E slot.
    Can anyone help me?
    Kind regards: LGM

    Yep, problem is the PCI Express x 16 slot which supports only PCI Express Bus specification v1.0a on RS480M2.

  • Random freeze on boot with MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe

    Hello everyone,
    I have an issue with my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe graphics card. Sometimes, on boot (before getting to BIOS, I guess during GFX BIOS, if that's a thing anymore in the computing world) the GPU fans will spin at a considerable speed (noisy, I'd say 70-100%) and the system will refuse to boot. I could reproduce this around 5 to 6 times, and always during cold boots. After this happens, rebooting or powering off and on will not work, I'll need to cut off all power (PSU switch) and cold-boot again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    can you list full system specifications? read >>Posting Guide<<

  • No Post or boot with MSi 5700le on MSI k8m800

    As title says, while card is in system doesnt post or boot up.. I am currently using an older card of mine. hercules 32MB MX400, as a control card, and with it installed, I was able to install Windows MCE. The MSI 5700LE came from my other system, MSI PT880 board with intel 3.2. The funny thing is that I moved alot of my setup into this new computer system, the RAM, Hard drive, and cd-rom. Only things different are case, PSU, and processor as I am trying to build more thermally efficient computer.
    The variables, I have deduced problem too
    *Power supply, using stock Silverstone 240W PSU. (But I am using Turion 35W CPU, so I figure I am not over taxing cpu. I can cross check this with my old systems PSU) And people are running prescott intels of this unit.
    *Motherboard K8M800 has built-in video and unfamiliar bios options so I may be missing something. But as applies to my only other thought: The AGP riser card that is used by this case, but I am able to use an old video card of mine with no problems.. So that eliminates the riser card.
    So can someone point me a right direction on this issue, or present me with more options to test the system against. As you can tell I have spent sometime working on this and taking over kitchen with 2 fully disassembled computers.
    Thanks
    Travis

    So you are saying there is an option for on-board video, for it to be turned off..?
    Yes, I am thinking my next experiment will include using my old PSU, to try and power new setup. I got the case second-hand so it might be damaged..
    Thanks

    "So you are saying there is an option for on-board video, for it to be turned off..? "
    maybe, maybe not. but that isn't important part. you need to setup from BIOS which one to be your 1st VGA device.(onboard or external one)

  • HP 1280t i7-3930 fails to boot with MSI 760gtx

    I bought a nice high-watt corsair PSU, a nice new MSI 760gtx, and the computer does not boot.  If I put the wimpy graphics card that came with the system back in, it boots right up.
    I've done a bit of searching, and it looks like HP has totally dropped the ball with their motherboard bios.  Any movement on this front?

  • Need help with MSI GeForce 6800. Pc says its an LE...

    Hi all I did a search but couldnt find anything relating to my problem. If I missed it then I apologise in advance.
    I bought an MSI 6800 and installed it but it says that the card installed is a 6800 LE.
    All the packaging and the stickers on the card itself say its a 6800 but the pc says otherwise.
    I installed all the software and searched for updates. I installed new drivers but still it says its an LE.
    How can I find out if I got a duff card or a problem with windows and drivers ??
    Is there a major difference physically on the pcb that I could check out ?
    cheers.
    JunkDuster

    Thank you very much for the pictures.
    I did what you said and guess what, yep, it said 6800 LE.
    I now have the great displeasure of having to pay for postage to return this item and hope that I can get a full refund and go elsewhere.
    That was the first and last time I will use that company again.
    Cheers for your help in stopping me from getting ripped off.

  • Will these three other pieces work well together with MSI GeForce 6800 GT 256 ?

    Hello  :hypecrite:
    I have ordered myself some new stuff ,and maybe a little late to ask for answers ,but ...
    Wondering if my VGA : MSI Ge Force 6800 GT 256 which I will recieve tomorrow will work well with the following which are soon coming:
    *Corsair Value Select VS1GBKIT400 ; PC3200 1024
    *CPU AMD 3200 + 2.2 GHz
    *Motherboard MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    t
    If PSU is needed : Thermaltake Silent Purepower Polo12 W0032R - 410 W ;+ 3,3 , -/+ 5 V , -/+ 12 V.

    I've got same Mobo and VGA. At the moment it seems to be not possible to oc the VGA stable higher than 400/1100 with fastwrites enabled (i've allready done vmod to 1.4V, without it freezed even at 360/1020). First i thought it was a VGA bios issue, but after some tests with different bios versions i think it's a driver problem (forceware or maybe nforce or both). Hope nvidia will fix this soon.

    Your mobo should at least have an AGP port that is capable of handling at least 4x AGP slot.

  • 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!

    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?
