Flickering while using MSI gaming app with MSI motherboard+MSI Nvidia 970

As title, I am experiencing flickering when using MSI gaming app both in gaming and OC settings. When I close the app, everything is fine. I am not experienced in OCing, hence I'd be absolutely glad to be able to use MSI gaming app, and it worked with the previous version.
MSI gaming app version: 4.0.0
System:
Mainboard:MSI Z97 GAMING 3
Bios: latest update
VGA: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GeForce GTX 970
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power L8-CM 630W ATX 2.31 (L8-CM-630W/BN182)
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00GHz, boxed
Mem: G.Skill Ares DIMM Kit 8GB RAM DDR3-2133Mhz

  • IPhone 4 bought on 2010 frequently freezes while using camera or apps with adverts

    Hey there guys!
    I'm from Brazil and actually, this issue occurs with a friend of mine. As he doesn't speak english very well, i'm trying to help him out here... so, i'm gonna summarize the whole tale:
    We're from Brazil and here an iPhone is much more expensive than in the US (40% more). His brother went to Miami and brought him an iPhone 4 stuck on the AT&T account, not fully unlocked (not sure if at the time we already had the unlocked ones).
    As he got here, my friend could not use the iPhone 'cause there were no ways to do it (it was very recent) and, after a few months (3-4), he discovered an specific 'SIM Card' that could help him to use the iPhone in a brazilian carrier. At that moment, he was using iPhone only for games and as an iPod.
    After that (using iOS 4.3), he used the iPhone for months. As the iOS 5 was launched, he tried to update, but then started the problems. Even using Jailbreak or not, he was not able to update the iOS to 5. He received several error messages and nothing done at the time was enough to help him. So he maintained the 4.3 iOS version.
    Now, for the last 8 months he's facing several freezes, specially while using the camera and/or apps with advertising (almost all). He tried to do almost everything. Turn the Wifi on/off, 3G on/off, everything. Tried to have more than 50% of the HardDisk free, uninstalled all applications, used jailbreak, restore to the original iOS, everything.
    We went to see some specialists here in Brazil, and they said that all their efforts on the Software was done, and only a deep analysis at the hardware would be the reason to fix it. They tried to restore, install, update, do anything with different iOSs, but they couldn't even finish the restore/update of the iOSs.
    So his final effort was to use the 4.3.1 iOS, which is the only one that 'keeps the iPhone 4 alive'. Even with some freezes during the usage, but no way else to the updates of the latest iOSs. iTunes recognizes the iPhone, starts the update, but several errors occurs and never can be completed.
    Anyone has any clues about it!? By the way, thanks for the opportunity to address and share with you our doubts and questions. I'm here to find out a way to restore this iPhone 4 and use it as a normal person.
    Thanks!

    Hey man! Thanks for the answer... actually, I’ve already tried this and still jams…  Right now, I’m using the iOS 4.3.3 which is the only one that keeps my iPhone 4 ‘usable’.
    This iOS 4.3.3 I use DOES NOT have Jailbreak. I have used the Jailbreak at the beginning, but not anymore. It was my only option in the beginning, to use it as a real iPhone, not an iPod.
    In April ’12, I’ve got it Factory Unlocked, directly through AT&T. My baseband is already updated to the latest (04.12.01) and I can use it with any carrier in Brazil. The thing is… when I try to update to the iOS 5.1.1, it goes through all the process but at the end, during the last reboot, it gets into an infinite loop (apple symbol and spinning wheel, alternating). The worst part is that iTunes recognizes my iPhone, but as it doesn’t go through the last reboot, there’s no way to go.

  • MSI Gaming App 980 GTX

    I'm using the MSI Gaming App with the next config:
    MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
    Intel Core i7-4770K (OC 4200Mhz)
    Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
    Corsair 16 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit CL9 9-9-24
    MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G (OC 1355 with gaming app)
    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q
    I have set the brightness of my monitor to 20 and the standard Gaming settings in the app are way to bright. I use the customized settings configured to my own preference but it won't keep the settings. When I restart my computer and open the MSI Gaming App the customized settings are back to normal. Is there maybe some config file, searched for it also in appdata to no reveal, which I can set on read only after set to my preferences

    Unfortunately the Gamin App has no option to set preferences permanently so far. There is also no workaround for the App. Alternatively use >>MSI Afterburner<< for clockrate/fan settings and use the driver menu to alter brightness settings permanently.

  • Can I use the MSI Gaming App OC settings in Afterburner then uninstall Gaming Ap

    Hello all,
    I finally bought an MSI GTX 760 TF OC Gaming Edition GPU last week. Unfortunately the OC isn't programmed into the BIOS and to get the highest Factory OC I need to use the MSI Gaming App. The problem is it does not start with Windows or remember your last Clock Selection.
    I know Afterburner can start with Windows and apply your last selected profile.
    So can I......
    1. Open Gaming App and select OC.
     Open GPU-Z and see how much the Clock Speed has increased.
     Restore the default Clock (Gaming).
     Open Afterburner and apply the same increase to the clock value as the Gaming App gave me.
    Save the profile.
     Tick the 'Start with Windows' box.
     Uninstall the Gaming App.
    2. Will the above effectively apply the same OC as the gaming App and therfore make the Gaming App obsolete?
    3. Also I've read on some forums that Afterburner will only OC the MSI card if the gaming App is installed. I'm away from home so cannot test any of this. Maybe this was the case with the original version of the gaming app. can anyone confirm?
    4. Also I've read people reporting that once the OC has been applied it is locked at this high clock and doesn't downclock when idle. From what I've seen the Gaming App does downclock depending on GPU demand. As does Afterburner. Can anyone confirm?
    I don't know why MSI did things this way. It's a Gaming Edition card so there should be a way of applying the factory OC and leaving it set that way. The Gaming App is a nice simple little tool but as a bare minimum they should let us start it with Windows and automatically apply the last selected Clock profile.
    Dragging the shortcut into the start-up folder doesn't work for me. And even if it did, the last profile selection is not remembered.
    To be honest, the Gaming App is ideal for me but only if I can set it and forget it. There should be a box (like there is in Afterburner) that starts the Gaming App when Windows starts and applies the last Clock profile selected.
    Now that would be simple. Afterburner is great and gives you lots of control. But I just want the OC that MSI have created. It should be set at BIOS level for a so-called OC Gaming Edition card.
    From the official Afterburner Guide on this forum....
    "Another thing which needs to be kept in mind is that maximum clockrates for the latest GeForce GTX7xx Gaming requires running >>Gaming APP<<. Switch to Gaming Mode (N770 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 770 GAMING)) or OC Mode (N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING)) to allow maximum boost clockrates."
    Many thanks in advance,

    Sure you can set these settings (clock rate etc) in afterburner and you should be good to go. Just for stability, run a benchmark. It should be same OC as Gaming App applies, but GApp might change voltages (never used it so not sure).
    Afterburner works with ANY brand's card. However MSI Gaming App not.
    However if you change settings in Nvidia control panel in : 3D settings -> Global Settings -> Power management mode -> change from Adaptive to Prefer max performance. After this card will neved downclock even at idle.

  • MSI Gaming App Not Working - Fails to open after install - Want to use OC mode

    Hi, well today I just recovered my GPU from a near fry using MSI Afterburner. Luckily, with help from a moderator on this site, I was able to get it working again. I thought I fried it trying to OC it. I simply want to be able to switch between the modes it is supposed to come with. I have a MSI R9 290, and it is supposed to be equiped with 3 easy "one click" toggling between OC modes, 1007MHz, Gaming mode, 974MHz, and Silent Mode, 947MHz.
    I cannot figure out how to switch between these modes. I used Afterburner and nearly fried my card. I was told not to use that, that is for advanced users, to use instead the (supposed to be bundled, but was not included in my install) MSI Gaming App, to easily switch between the 3 different modes. I downloaded the MSI Gaming App (http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip) and installed it. When I tried to run it I get this error:
    ======
    [MSI Gaming App]
    The platform does not support this application
    (OK)
    ======
    So what does this mean, that the Gaming App is not supported by Windows 7 64Bit Professional (which is what I have)?
    Am I doing something wrong, did I install the wrong application. I could not find any others however.
    So I damn near fried my GPU trying to use Afterburner to OC my GPU, and I am very hesitant to try using it again. At this point, I have not even reinstalled Afterburner as I fear it might, just by installing, screw me up again.
    What should I do, is there anything I CAN do?
    Please help this noob- Thanks for your help!
    -Kris

    based on S/N the card is generic, AMD reference one
    those cards don't have factory OC:

  • MSI Gaming app does not work with SLI

    I'm now doing SLI with two 770's and the Gaming app does not work. I follow the instructions that tell me to disable and then enable SLI for it to work but it does not work.

    Simply don't use the gaming APP but the more advanced Afterburner: >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<

  • MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

    Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
    However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
    The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
    Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
    Thank you very much.

    It happens every time, even after a restart.
    Hardware ID for 750TI:

  • MSI Gaming APP for X99 Gaming 7 Not displaying properly

    I have installed and removed and installed again the MSI Gaming App.  But when I run it each time, I keep getting the same issue.  When I launch the MSI Gaming App, a white box appears in the middle of the screen with a single word "Canvas" written on it.  The only thing you can do with this is close it by pressing OK.  The program itself opens in the bottom right corner of the screen and the box is only partially displayed.  It is like half the app has been cut off.  The only button accessible in the top right is the info button, while the other two next to it have been cur off.  Similarly, the only boxes showing are the top part of OC, Gaming, and the left half of Silent.
    Please advise if this is a known issue or if there is a fix.  Yes, I am using the latest version of the APP - 2.0.0.21 that i downloaded using Live Update 6.  I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64bit with all the latest updates and a 5930K with Twin GTX Titan Blacks with 16gig of ram and the latest nVidia Driver 347.09

    Thanks!!  I downloaded the latest version of the gaming App and it works great.  The problem I am having now is that MSI Live Update appears not to be seeing the latest versions of many apps, utilities and drivers.  I have the latest version of live update installed.  6.0.012
    For example, I have Killer Network Drivers 1.1.42 1045 installed and Live Update says this is the latest version.  But on the web site, it says 1.1.49 1068 is the latest version.
    Any Ideas why Live Update is not finding the latest info for my drivers etc... ??

  • MSI Gaming app causing issues. GTX 770 GPU.

    I bought my MSI 770 card back in August and over the last few weeks I have noticed a problem. At random times my browser will get some strange pixels and closing the browser does not fix it. I have narrowed he problem down to the MSI Gaming App. I use this app when I play games and always overclock with this app. Lately I have been playing BF4. I noticed my BF4 game crashes less when I don't use the app as well.
    In order for my browser (Chrome) to function properly again I have to close out of the MSI Gaming app. Does this mean my card is failing? I am about to buy my 2nd MSI 770 here in a week or two and would like to get this sorted out before hand.
    Here is a pic of the browser after the problem occurs. My sig has specs.
    Thanks

    if you don't use this app. do you have such issues?
    Good question. I always use this app so my time spent not using it is very little. I will stop using it starting now and see if I have this problem at all this weekend. Typically this happens daily so we shall see.

  • MSI gaming APP

    I have fitted a MSI GTX960 Gaming 4GB in my Dell XPS8700, it is a great upgrade from gtx745 !
    At the moment, referring to reviews/benchmarks the extra 2GB really doesn't make a huge difference...only betting on longer run, games will want more memory so went for 4GB instead...
    The only "issue" is with the MSI software. GPU comes with 3 msi software: 3D photo viewer/ msi afterburner and msi gaming app.
    XPS8700 will not start "MSI gaming APP", which allow you to choose between:  OC mode/ Gaming mode/ Silent mode. Any idea why my dell cannot open this? (I have also tried the latest software from MSI)
    The MSI afterburner software is quite too difficult to use for overclocking the GPU; I tried some setup, only to find black screens and crashes when playing games...It is fine when I reset it to "factory" setting.
    Cheers

    Hi, thanks for trying to help...
    I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge :
     http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-960-GAMING-4G-LE.html#hero-overview
    I first installed the software which came with the card: didn't work
    Then installed MSI Gaming APP from here (it says 06/02/15) 4.0.0.2:
    https://gaming.msi.com/article/msi-gaming-app-article
    Uninstalled/deleted folder, reinstalled as suggested still didn't work. Even if I right click on icon "run as administrator", I get a pop up window then same again, just nothing after that.
    I checked: Microsoft.NET Framework, it is up to date: 4.5.1
    Windows is up to date....
    Many Thanks

  • MSI Gaming App Will NOT Start

    If this is the wrong forum I apologize, I didn't see any other place for topics about MSI software.
    When my PC starts, the MSI Gaming App doesn't start automatically, I have to manually start it by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. However, it is a crap shoot if the program will even run; usually it doesn't and I have to completely restart my computer and cross my fingers. I've re-installed, updated, etc., but it keeps doing this. Any help would be fantastic.

    Are you mixing RAM?
    Did the software ever worked before? Try to uninstall it (Programs&Features), remove any folders and registry files that Gaming App have made (you can also use CCleaner to clear registry errors). Then reboot and try to install+run Gaming App again. What was the version you have tried? From the CD included with the card or from MSI website? If possible, tell exact version.

  • MSI Gaming app will not start up or run

    I just installed a new MSI GTX 960 Gaming 4G and also installed the MSI gaming app. When I click on the app to open it appears in my notification window, but as soon as I mouse over the icon it disappears. The app stops running. I have uninstalled and re-installed like 12 times and restarted the computer 15 times. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to using new stuff so any help would be nice. Thanks

    It's an issue with Gaming APP that is currently not fixed. Open a ticket with MSI support to add more cases for MSI to check and find the problem: >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • MSI gaming app and GTX760

    After latest update for my MSI twin frozr gtx760, when i start MSI gaming app and turn gaming mode i get blue screen. I rly don't know what to do. Anyone else got some bad experience with it?

    I have the latest version of the Gaming App. I am using the current driver for this card from the MSI download section for this card. So Nvidia prohibited putting more than 3Gb on a 780? That is depressing and frustrating. I got this card because I enjoy PC gaming on big monitors with high resolutions (not 1080P TV's) and I figured the high VRAM would help run games at high settings on the kinds of monitors I prefer. I was gaming on a 30" Samsung monitor @2560x1600 and now I am using a 34" 21:9 LG monitor @3440x1440. I'm starting to get a bit of a feeling like I wasted my money buying this card. I mean Nvidia is going to poopoo all over having extra VRAM on a 780, the MSI Gaming App won't work for an MSI card and even MSI Afterburner won't read the VRAM correctly on this MSI card.
    Oh well, it's the card's fault and the card seems to run alright, but it doesn't seem to be running much better than the 3Gb EVGA 780 that the 6Gb card replaced. I am starting to wonder if I am not getting the best performance out of the card that I should.

  • Gtx 980 MSi Gaming App Clock speed problem

    Hello guys, I've a problem with my GPU's clock speed.
    I've MSI Z97-Gaming 5 motherboard, and MSI gtx 980 4g twinfrozr so both of this hardware uses the MSI gaming APP.
    But the thing is when i pick Gaming Mode or OC Mode it works well for my CPU BUT! not for my GPU, it always at 962Mhz it barely goes to 1190 and comes right back.
     When i check the site it says:
    1216MHz Core (Boost Clock:1317MHz) (OC Mode)
    1190MHz Core (Boost Clock:1291MHz) (Gaming Mode)
    1127MHz Core (Boost Clock:1216MHz) (Silent Mode)
     you can see the actual core speeds but 962 mhz is not even there ?
    if anybody has an idea I'd really appreciate that.

    OK the problem was solved by loading an older version of the MSI gaming App from the Dvd . Now it is selected as " let the 3d app decide " at the nvidia control panel, and when im in game it goes up to 1368 Mhz and when im on desktop it goes down to 135 Mhz .
