[Freezing [Gigabyte and MSI Graphics Card]

Having freezing problems with the below [A New assembled Computer tower to my requirements by a recognised computer company [350 miles away??];
Appears to be related to the compatibility of Mother Board and Graphics card installed =

Also yesterday did a clean reinstall of the Windows XP Home ETC and still had the same problem!

At the moment I have been able to overcome the freezing by experimenting with customisation of the programming of the NVIDIA 71.89 [this driver is the best I found which nearly overcomes the Freezing problem.

At the moment I have the "Troubleshoot" Decelerated back to the ".....DirectX....."

Two days ago tried a new "Radeon VC- HIS-70000-B18-PCI" graphic Card and received and had the same problems? After this it seems my problem is not related to the Graphics Card?
[6a] Now the question is are the above Mother Board and Graphics card compatible
[6b] Could it be Voltage/Wattage related, [I feel I have 350Watt PS installed?]
[6c] Can the Gigabyte BIOS be modified somehow???
[6d] Is it DirectX related?
[6e] Noticed in the "Release 70 Notes for Version 71.89" =page 20 =
Gigabyte GA-68 Mother Board
"..... Rail is rated to only 5A....??? which requires 6A????"
Does the Gigabyte I am using have the same problem?
Note; = I am not having any freezing problems when using any of my other installed programs!
Any Suggestions to where I go to find help?

There are no known issues between ur mobo and ur gfx card. Issues like these are moere chipset related then brand related.
Problem seems to be PSU related, an older 350w PSU will be unable to supply enough juice on 12v to feed a power hungry P4. Check the ammount of amps it delivers on the 12v rail(s). According to Intel specs u need at least 20 amps on 12v.
I don't think it's bios related. Bios issues rarely expose themselves in instabtable behavure.
Don't think it's Dx9 related, cus ur rig also freezes without using Dx9 extensions, eg surfing the internet.
The driver version u use is a decend one, and shouldn't cause the problems that you encounter.
I put my money on the PSU as trouble causer.
Good luck and keep us informed on ur progress.

MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
Any ideas , someone?
Tekrar!

Thanks for all replies!
I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
"Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
"Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
"Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!

MSI graphics cards and MSI motherboards

Do MSI "tend" to match their graphics cards with their motherboards? .... would I benefit from matching an MSI graphics card with my K8T Neo2 motherboard?
JLP

Noooooooo, not at all.
I have some K8N neo2 platinum combined with an msi nx6800gt and although
i'm very happy with game performance, there are times i would expect more.
My GT has lots of problems when not running at stock.
Even at 365/1050 there is some stuttering (rarely, and for about 2 seconds) but
still, there is.
It could as well have been any other brand.
And i bet it could have been a better o/cer.
The only thing i HIGHLY recommend msi gards, is their EXCELLENT bundle.
Mine came with 15 cds(!!!) : DOOM 3, XIII, URU, Prince of Persia and many more.

Connecting my msi graphics card to television

How do I connect to the television if I have a msi graphics card with a tv-out?
I have MSI starforce 826 64MEG
Do I need any special software? All I want to do is to use the television instead of the monitor.

Thank you! It works!

Good luck and have fun :D :D :D

What's the Best LCD (20"/ larger) and best Graphic Card choice /G4 733DA?

I know very little about the great choices for flat panel displays and also graphics cards on a Mac G4 733DA
So any recommendations would be sincerely appreciated.
What's a good LCD (20"/ larger) and the best Graphic Card choice for a G4 733DA? A friend recommended an ATI 9800 Pro (Mac Edition) Is this a good choice?
My current G4 733 Digital Audio has a standard VGA port as well as an ADC port.
Will I need to upgrade the existing graphics card if I’m looking to view wide screen?
Here's what i currently have on my g4 for a graphics card:
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX:
Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)

Lastly, is 1080p even possible on this mac system provided I perform the above upgrades to say an ATI 9800 Pro (Mac edition)? Or will this also require a major dual processor CPU upgrade?
SDMacuser

The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is the best card you can put in a G4 Power Mac. As for supporting HD, I believe its a mix between CPU and GPU, based on your system. The Radeon 9800 should support HD, and any HD supporting LCD. Price, wise, for a HD ready screen I'd say the a high quality Dell LCD would be good (it uses the same panel as the Apple 20" LCD) but costs less. You should not have to upgrade your CPU, although it would not hurt to look into it.

Is there any way to upgrade the processor speed and/or graphics card?

i would like to upgrade the processor and/or graphics card to make gameplay faster, having problems with speed when having game open and web browser at the same time on two screens.

is there a way to upgrade the ram on the mac mini (with disk drive) so 2009 ish, that would greatly help me? Aside from the obvious "buy a new one".

Apple MacBook Air 11 inch, 13 inch, or Dell XPS 14 with i7 and nvidia graphics card?

I am a college student looking for either a MacBook Air 11 inch or a MacBook Air 13 inch. I was looking at the Dell XPS 14 with i7 processor and nvidia graphics card. It is similar in price to an Apple MacBook Air 11 inch. I will mainly use the laptop for browsing, a bit of Minecraft, watching videos (netflix/downloading movies), presentations, and documents. I would also need it to be lightweight because I will be carrying it around campus. I cannot choose between these three.....any ideas? I have an iPhone 5 and iPad with retina display (that is what I use currently and it is not working out). I just saw the WWDC14 and I saw how all my devices could connect to the Mac flawlessly.
Please let me know,
Thanks

I recommend the macbook 13" retina. Yes, it is expensive, but if you pair it with 8GB of memory, you should be futureproof for the next 5 years minimum. Why not the air.
Currently the air sports thunderbolt 1, This is super outdated. Macbook pro has thunderbolt 2 which allows you to daisy chain monitors via display port 1.2. Macbook Air sports display port 1.1a which only allows daisy chaining amoungst thunderbolt monitors which are expensive. $1000 minimum per a monitor where as you could pickup a daisy chainable displayport 1.2 dell monitor for $200. The only reason I am severely regretting my 13" Air.
The screen, yes, in a few years all screens will sport retina resolutions. It makes a big difference when reading and typing for long periods of time. Text is more clear. Also, 11" is way too small. If you want something that small, get an Ipad Air.
Battery life, 9 hours should still be enough to get you through the day. I go to school and I could only top out at 7 hours usage at most.
Gaming, Although I dont recommend gaming on any laptop because laptops aren't meant so much for gaming. Mostly because the heat generated from it kills the life of your laptop. It is up to 20% faster than the air.
Weight, half a pound off the 13" AIR is not a big deal. Actually the retina is smaller in height and width, so better center of balance when using it on your lap and the black bezel is less distracting.
Processor, its 10% faster in overall processing speeds generally.
Dont forget to purchase 2 year extended warranty. Buy that from bhphoto for 180 bucks. No tax and its way cheaper than apple.
If you still want the air after that, consider getting the 13". It comes with sd card slot, it is handy when you run out of space. And its 10% faster than the 11" even though they have the same processor. The processor's performance is based on the thermal threshold of the computer. The hotter it gets, the slower the computer gets to cool the processor down.
If you choose the Macbook Pro 13" RETINA(Not the $999 version with the DVD Drive), if you can, wait till late october when they update the computer with better hardware. Well... if you can.

Msi 694D pro and newer Graphics Cards

Hello.
I have a MSI 694D pro MB with 2x P3@1Ghz, 1.5Gb ram (2x512(pc133) + 2x256(pc133), a raid stripe of 2x120Gb WD hdds and a 400W PS running Win2k SP4.
Problem:
I had an Matrox G400 w 32 MB ram and I bought a new GF 6200 card since now even tbs games are 3d and the matrox couldn't keep up.
The GF 6200 is agp 8x but it sais it works well on 4x.
When installed, windows will freeze at startup unless i deactivate "enable agp 4x" from bios, in which case everything works fine except i have NO 3D hardware acceleration... Wich sucks since it makes the gf 6200 a rather expensive 2D Virge lookalike with 128mb ram...
I tested the gf 6200 on a different system and works fine, even on a agp 4x only board (a kt333 msi).
I also put in a radeon 9600 pro borrowed from someone and the results are the same... Win freezes on startup
After some investigations i found out it crashes upon loading "viaagp*.sys"
I tried the latest availeble via drivers and noting...
Does anyone have any ideea what to do about it?
Thanks alot for any possible information.

Well it's old... it was taken from the server along with the mobo...
It is a very solid design and quiet, even after years of work.
Should I buy a new PS?
To get a complete picture of how much power it is used in my box:
msi 964D pro MB
2xP3@1Ghz
1.5 Gb ram - 2x512Mb + 2x256Mb (pc133)
2x120Gb WD stripe
two maxtor 120Gb standalone drives
- all 4 hdds have add-on coolers
1 x LG dvd-rw
gf 6200 graphics card
audigy2 zs audio card
intel pro gigabit lan card
usb2/firewire controller card
1x system fan
... i guess this covers it, but... how come it works when i disable agp 4x mode in bios?
does the graphics card "power down" parts of the gpu?

M57 and any graphics cards - total lack of support - and do not buy

well just been in touch with support to find out if a new bios is coming out to support graphics cards that most people have. (HD5450 nothign over powerful) Sorry not suported in any way, only 3 crappy cards are supported officially. Basically told to sling hook Remind me not to buy IBM again from the total lack of support or updates.PCI-E standard - not if your IBM

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!!! I have eight (8) of the ThinkCenter M57 6072 HDU running BIOS 2RKT64AUS. I have E8400s in a couple of them @ 3.0 GHz from the stock E7200 2.66GHz. Paid $65 each of the M57s at an online goverment surplus site. The machines are used by our kids for general homework and League of Legends, Warcraft, etc. The onboard graphics would not run these games. Purchased a ASUS Radeon HD 5450 Silent 1GB DDR3 64BIT PCI-E DVI-I HDMI HDCP Passive Low Profile Video Card for about $35. ***FAILED TO POST***. Purchased a VGA GIGABYTE|GV-N640D5-1GL RTL (NewEgg or NCIX) and it installed, posted, booted, and graphically scored 7.1 on Windows Experience Index and over 1300 on Perfomance Test 8.0 from Passmark Software. Card cost $100 (not on sale) Also purchased a pair of non-matching GT630s (~$65-100) and a GT610 (~$55) to try along with the GT640 but when they all came I started with the GT640 and never looked back. RMAd the others and bought six(6) more GT640s; only six(6) because I killed one of the motherboards updating the BIOS with the E8400 installed!! Only Flash with the correct CPU in I guess. I also intalled a ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channel PCI Sound Card 24BIT Dolby Digital DTS 105DB SNR W/ Headphone AMP for $35 and it went in the available PCI slot and now these machines rip and scream. The slowest part of these machines is the memory and the HDD. Easy to put in a nice SSD if someone wanted. And I might experiment with the E8400 machines with some faster memory. These machines are so well built as far as the modular little cases go. Cheers all and GOOD LUCK!

Sudden problem between iMovie and my Graphics Card?

Hello all-
Please forgive any omissions, first time posting.
I'm running Tiger 10.4.9 on a G4 iMac Desktop, 800 MHz w 768 MBram.
My graphics info is apparently: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX:
I only recently had iMovie HD 6.0.3 start displaying an alert message detailing it's requirement of a 'Quartz Extreme Compatible' graphics card. This is news to me, since I've been using this version of iMovie since October 06 without this alert cropping up. So this seems Out Of The Blue.
Funny thing: I've booted the computer from the Tiger startup disk a couple of times since this error began - to check if a disk repair is needed - and with each assisted reboot the graphics card is correctly recognized/supported... once. One unassisted boot. After which it reverts to 'Quartz Extreme Compatible' unsupported once again.
I swung the problem briefly past a genius at a MacGenius bar, who felt the problem was probably not the card itself going bad, (as she thought the card would fail entirely if it was having problems) but either corrupted software in the system, or a HardDrive problem. I have no other evidence that my HD might be failing, so I'm left with her other advice, to do an Archive and Install.
Honestly, nothing's been installed or updated recently. If I had to guess, it
-may- have started after Quicktime failed to play an .avi file off CD this week, but I can't be sure, as I hadn't tried HD for a little while before then. Could QT bombing out have corrupted a system file?
Would you also suggest an Archive and Install? And what sort of system clean-up can I expect after such a procedure? Is there a less radical fix?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Andrew

iMac G4 Desktop Mac OS X (10.4.9) Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce2 MX:

Hi Folks,
I am running a G-4, 1.25 Gz, 2 gigs ram, running 10.4.9, and a Radeon 9800 pro graphics card. I am having the same problems. I have tried the solutions mentioned here and still have the same problem. I have tried saving the iMovie to to my desk top, run permisions. The Graphics/Dispalys in system profile says
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro:

So what is the solution...Do I have to retrograde back to iMovie 5?

Final Cut Studio 2(Color) and AGP graphics cards

So I have ordered FCS 2 for my business(Videography with HDV cameras).
I am on the 2.0 Ghz G5 with dual processors and a 23' Apple Cinema Display.
The computer came with the ATI 9600 Pro Radeon card.
All the technical requirements for Color are PCI slotted busses. So it looks like I am at a dead end if I wish to use Color??? (Some people said that the AGP x800XT might work ok, but this is not verified, and who knows what the performance would be anyway).
A new computer is the only practical solution?

APPLE 30" Cinema Display and ATI Graphics Card compatability

hi all
I have a 2year old APPLE Dual proc G5 PowerMac 2.0mhz (1.5GB Ram) with an ATI graphics Card which is a ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb ram.
This currently works well dipslaying via a Apple cinema 23" screen. However i would like to upgrade the screen with an Apple 30" display now. Will the current ATI Graphics card support a 30"display or will i need to replace the card on buying a new monitor..
i was looking at potentially a new ATI X1900Xt card.
any experiences and help please ...
Thanks Paul

Your existing card will not run the 30" at full resolution. The ATI X1900 XT won't fit because it is not AGP.
The fastest AGP card for your G5 is the ATI Radeon X800 Mac edition
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435317/>
It has one DVI dual-link port that will run the 30" display, and one ADC port.

Add a Monitor. How and which graphics card?

I have just bought the Premiere CS3 upgrade and have startet working with it. I was wondering how it would be possible to connect my Sony Bravia or Pioneer plasma (both HD ready) in order to preview the editing. I am an amateur who cannot find the support from the wife to spend $$$ on Matrox RT.X2 (or similar) to satisfy a hobby. But a purchase of a new graphics card could go unnoticed. ;-)
I am under the impression there are graphics cards out there where an adapter can be bought to convert the DVI -> HDMI, so I can view on monitors mentioned above. Is this correct?
Apparently, colour reproduction will not be as good as with RT.X2 (the proper gear) but that is really not an option for me.
(According to the manual pg228 it is also an option to output back to the camera which in turn is connected to the TV. Does not work on Mac OS in HDV mode)
Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.
(XP sp2, HDV mode, ASUS P5WD2, 2GB DDR2, Pentium 4 660 3.6Ghz, Sony HDR-HC7)

I don't know anything about AutoCAD, so I have this question. Is it a RAM intensive program? If so Parallels isn't the best way to go, Boot Camp would be. Parallels is a Mac program running a Windows virtual machine from inside Mac OS X. The physical RAM resources are shared, first Mac OS X with Parallels and then Parallels with AutoCAD. The same with the RAM on the video card, Mac OS X has first shot at everything. At least with Boot Camp, all the hardware resources on the iMac are 100% dedicated/available to Windows when the Mac is started in that OS.
Although the differences are benchmarkable, there isn't really much noticeable difference in the 2.16 GHz and 2.33 GHz to the casual user.
