FX5200-T128 AGP (Tv-Out)

Hello
Hopefully someone can answer my question since MSI doesnt return my emails or my phone calls.  This makes me want to spend my hard earned money buying another MSI product.
I just built myself a new system  and cant figure out why I am having the problems with this video card. I am using this video card until I decide which one to upgrade to.   A little about my system first.
CPU:  AMD XP 3200+
Ram: Cosair (2) 512meg) chips PC3200 (Mastching Pair)
MB: Gigabyte 7nnxp (Latest Bios)
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Live 5.1
HD's: 85, 120, 160 gig Maxtor Drives
MSI FX5200-T128 (Latest Bios)
KDS VS-195 19 inch Monitor
I am running the Latest Bios and software MSI FX 5200 Drivers 53.03 (Nvidia Drivers) for the FX5200-T128 AGP 8X video card and still have these problems.  
The problems I am having probably have something to do with the refresh rate but i'm really not sure just guessing. The taskbar (down below) turns a solid color and you can't see the icons on it when dong different  tasks on the computer. Evently it goes back to normal and everthing goes back to normal.  When I first boot the computer up I get a white background (which doesnt bother me to much).  Plus I use Photoshop a lot and when I am first booting that up the screen goes to white but after its loaded up I see everything I need to see.  If I am in Photoshop doing some editing the whole screen turns white and usually the only way around it is to press the esc key and sometimes I loose my work and have to start over. If I go to the control panel then select the display icon/settings/advance/troubleshoot/hardware acceleration.  If I lower the performance on the card way down then i don't have a problem but why would I do this.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Michael

IF you had done a search and some research on that card you would see that it's a glorified GF2 440 MX equivelent and is not a high end video card for much else than a normal business workstation...graphic editing wouldn't be my first choice to do with that card...
Now you could have a bad motherboard as well...power supply could be light on it's output to power your components...it could be a lot of different things...
Need to troubleshoot your system with known good parts of the same manufacturer and chipsets...
Good Luck!!

  • Complete FX5200-T128 failure?

    I've just tried installing an FX5200-T128 into a PC266 motherboard (using XP1600+ processor).
    The driver install was fine but the end result now is that when I boot I have about two seconds of 640x480 then the signal stops (screen goes blank and says "no signal input").
    I have absolutely no idea of how to proceed - the machine still works fine when booting from the old PCI card (which I removed before starting the install - the machine won't boot with both in place) or the built in VGA slot.
    I've tried setting the PC's BIOS to using PCI with an IRQ, PCI without and IRQ and just using the "built in AGP" option all with the same result.
    Any ideas very welcome.
    Thanks

    balance,
    Have you try to insert your AGP Card to other system ?
    maybe is the AGP Card problem.

  • FX5200-T128 mosfets extremely hot

    Hi,
    I have a MSI Geforce FX5200-T128 video card. I'm worried with the 2 MOSFETS near the BIOS chip and Svideo-out because it is getting extremely hot. Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    Mosfets normally get hot.
    They are generally designed to handle high heat. I wouldn't worry about them unless your having problems.  If they do worry you I would attach some tiny heatsinks to them with thermal epoxy. Radio Shack sells some or any small heatsink will do.

    Hi, how high the emperature of the cards are? are all of them getting hot? when you say Quote
    the dissipator of graphic card takes much temperature
    , what exactly do you meant to say? are they over 70° C? what  drivers you are using? the latest? fresh windows install? Directx? please provide more info about your PCs

  • Mega 865 and MSI AGP TV-OUT

    I've setup my 865 and added a MS-8606 TV tuner card and MSI AGP TV-OUT card.  Has any one got this to work on to a TV set?
    Presently I can't get any signal onto the TV even after I disabled the on board VGA (at the moment I have no video what so ever)
    Also has any one out there successfully set up the TV tuner?
    I can't seem to get a clear picture from the tuner.

    I allready found the option to change between Cable and antenna. I'm allready using the cable option.
    My tuner is also an 8606 by the way. Version 1.2
    The thing is, that the few channels I can get, are spread around the complete bandwidth of the TV signals, so it's not a bad cable.
    I'm also using an amplefier to boost the signal. Just to rule out weak signals.
    Anyway, this topic is not about the tuner, it's the tv-out wich also doesn't work..
    I've read that updating the bios from 1.0 to 1.2 doesn't work. Using another AGP card with tv-out did work, so the AGP slot seems to function.
    Yep, its getting very irritating.

  • FX5200 T128 and DVI Port :(

    Dear Friends
    I have a MSI GeForce FX5200 T128 (128MB) VGA card.
    It has only D-Sub Port(DB 15-Pin) and a S-Video port and DO NOT HAVE A DVI Port :(
    But in the manual its written that
    "Support for dual-link DVI for compatibility with next-generation flat
    panel displays with resolutions greater than 1600x1200 without
    the need for reduced blanking"
    So, now I'm planning to buy a new LCD/TFT monitor, to take advantage of digital picture through DVI input without converting from Digital->Analog->Digital. SO that I'll not loose any quality.
    So Is it possible with my card ?
    I think its not possible as it does not ve a DVI port.
    Very bad product .................

    Thank you all for your support.
    But, it has been writen in the FX5200 T128 section/features.
    So I thought .......
    Anyway seems I ve done a bad investment  Any exchange offer from MSI for Asian customers  in future 

  • FX5200-T128 Screen flash on log in....

    Hi there,
    Just purchased the MSI FX5200-T128 card and installed with a new installation of XP and supplied drivers.  Upon log in with any user the screen flashes twice, then logs in.  Also when I go to the display settings and go to the FX5200 tab the screen flashes.  Windows update indicated that I needed a new driver signed in July (I think) so I downloaded these.  These were 45.23.  After installation of these, hitting the display manager toolbar icon causes the screen to flash, as well as retaining the previous flashing problems!
    This morning I have downloaded the 45.33 drivers with the same results.
    Any ideas why my screen keeps flashing!?
    Thanks in advance,

    MSI FX5200-T128

    I have another problem.  I know that support for this card is poor with the current XFree and have downloaded the run file from Nvidia.  I have a new HD and started to boot Mandrake 9.0 from CD.  It got as far as hitting enter to start the install....then the screen went blank and that was it....
    So now I have problems in both Linux and WinXP!!
    Any help would be much appreciated,

  • Concerning FX5200 T128 with and without fans!

    I have seen the MSI FX5200 T128 VGA card in two shapes: one with a heat sink, and another, a bigger one, with a fan or what's called Twin Flow.
    Both of them are MSI GeForce FX5200 T128!
    What is the difference between them?

    One with bigger fan is overclocked and with temp sensor.

    Hello,
    Thank you of your reply,
    but I am confuse which one I need to refer?
    My processor is Pentium 4 and my VGA card is MSI FX5200-T128.
    So which "Graphics Drivers" I need? Linux IA32 or Linux IA64?
    And which "nForce Drivers"?
    Should I need to upgrade my BIOS before I install the driver?
    My motherbroad series is 875P Neo Series.
    can please guide how to upgrade by manually (not LiveUpdate).
    At tne meantime, I found another VGA driver from "www.viaarena.com/?PageID=296"
    but is only provide for "AS IS" type. May I know is "MSI FX5200-T128" as same as "AS IS" type?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

    I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
    I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
    However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
    Is it compatible or not?
    If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
    I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
    I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

  • FX5200-T128 TV-Out Connecting?...

    Hello everybody,
    I've bought a new compy with this video card and I've been told that I can connect this video card to my tv.
    Well my tv is old JVC from the 1990s... but I have a new Hitachi DVD+VCR that is connected to the tv via digital cable decoder.
    So I thought that if I buy S-video (4-pin) -> RCA (Video out) cable and connect between the comp and the DVD-VCR I'll receive a picture on the tv but I don't...
    What seems to be the problem?
    10Q!

    I give up. Whats the answer  
    In plain English:
    What the problem. Do you get a picture or not.
    How did u connect it to the TV-set.
    Also...u need to set the regional setting, NTSC, PAL, Secam, etc..
    What happens if u conect straigt to the TV-set. U may need a SCART-RCA converter to do that.
