FX5600-td256 Problem

Right here goes..
Basically, after windows is installed. It uses its own driver to operate the card etc. I can watch DVD's run screen savers and even play the cheesy games u get with XP.
However, when the driver that is shipped with the card is installed, or I install the latest drivers from the nVidia download section, whenever I goto to play a dvd, do some graphic work etc, the system locks up, either restarts or just runs like sh**e.
I have come to the conclusion the card is knackered,,, or there is some incompatibilty with the board i am using.
I have installed all the latest via drivers, installed all latest graphics card drivers and even updated my bios.
I have the named graphics card and a DFI Lanparty KT400a Mobo
Anyone got any suggestions?

Heres the spec.
Lanparty KT400A mainboard
Athlon XP 2800+
512DDR 400
1 x 120GB Serial ATA HDD
1 x 120GB ATA 133 HDD
550 watt psu
Various cd-drives etc
And of course, the FX5600-TD256 graphics card

01. Keyboard ok
03. COM2 ok
04. COM1 ok
05. VIA OCHI Compliant IEEE

MSI FX5600 TD256 Problems

Hi all. This is my first time on these boards and must say the info i have got from it is outstanding. Keep it up.
I need some help.... I use an MSI KT4 Ultra via KT400 chipset based M/B with an AMD XP2600+. 1024MB 2700 ram. MSI FX5600 TD256mb G/C. 120gb H/D. Thermaltake power supply 480w. Water cooled.
My problem is that the PC starts up and runs ok for a while but all of a sudden the monitor goes blank. The CPU fan still runs but all else fails. ie, case fans, CD drives, etc.
The only way i can get it to work again is by removing the G/C and reinserting again. It makes no difference if i just turn off all power to the PC. This again works fine for a while and then it happens again?
Can anyone tell me if this is a common problem or what it could be. I have seen others mention the power supplies but mine is not the cheap type and surely 480w is ample?
I am sorry if something here is not listed. Let me know if any other info is required and i will post.
I forgot to say. I have put in an old G2 G/c from my old system for now and have not had a problem so i can assume it is something to do with the G/C?
I do not know if i need new drivers or BIOS? I can never get into the MSI live update for this. Does anyone know how to get them and especially for the BIOS, how do you instal them (in detail, I do not want to dammage anything).
Thanks in advance
MSI KT4 Ultra-FISR (MS6590). MSI FX5600 TD256 256mb. AMD XP2600+. 1024mb 2700 ram, (2x 512). 120gb maxor h/d. Thermaltake Xaser11 case + 480w p/s. Water cooled. Win XP pro

Hi there. Since you are talking about flashing BIOS's, may I ask a question? (OK, another one. )
I was looking through some of my old downloads on my hard drive and in my MSI folder, I came across an upgraded BIOS for my MSI Ti4200-VTD64 (MS-8870). The file is GF4Ti4200_4.25.00.37_250_500.rom, but I did not have an installer for it. I searched the MSI web site, but I didn't even see this file. I wouldn't have put it in that folder unless it came from MSI, so my question is, does anyone know how to install it, or where I can get an installer for it?
Thanks
(...and yes I'm familiar with the possible perils of flashing )

MSI FX5600-TD256 (256mb card)

Hi,
My pc spec is like following,
Pentium 1.8A ghz
256DDr ram,
Asus motherboard P4B533,
And Geforce 4 mx 440 64 mb card, etc.
I wish to upgrade my graphic card, so i want to buy MSI FX5600-TD256 model.
It is my computer(motherboard)support this graphic card?
AlSo it is any different between MSI geforceFx5600 128mb and MSI geforceFx5600 256MB?
Thanks

Hi,
I wouldn't even buy the FX5600, because as you can read nside this formum, there are lots of big problems with this card and the drivers.
I installed the card first in an win XP system, but could not get any newer game to run (e.g. age of mythology, morrowind, rise of nations, freelancer....)
Afterwards after my cpu died I instaled the card in an windows 2000 server system, and I still have exactly the same problem. 1 minute after starting the game the system crashes and starts write a memory dump.
Tried miniport driver update, tried driver update, tried driver cleaner, nothing helped so far.
My advice you should buy a graphic card that is known to have a working properly driver, e.g. as OpT1kN3rv told the Ti4800
regards

FX5600 TD256 - Crash

Hi all.
I have asked previously about this problem, thought i had solved but it has come back again
I use an MSI KT4 Ultra (MS6590) and have updated all drives, Via chipsets and Bios to V1.4. I also (try to) use the MSI FX5600 TD256.
The problem is that at different times the screen goes blank and says 'no power output'. The PC is still running but the CD drives and some but not all fans stop running.
I thought it may be the PSU? I use a Thermaltake Silent purepower 480w but from a previous post i had confirmed the PSU was o.k.
I now have an old Nvidia Riva TNT 2 Pro graphics card installed and this works perfectly fine. I can no longer instal the FX5600 as it will not boot.
I have read in other forums about the IRQ's & Ram issues. Can someone advise me fully on how to check the IRQ's and change them if needed.
The ram i use is Excaliber PC2700 333mhz 2x512 cards. How do i know if it is this causing problem.
I hope somebody can help? I can not believe an MSI motherboard causes conflicts with an MSI graphics card even when it states they are compatible.
There may just be an obvious solution but from the forums i have read so far i can not see one.
HELP ME PLEASE

Which are the Fans that are not running?
Check all the power connectors again.
Look around the mobo and VGA card for bad caps.

NX6800GT TD256 problems

hello. I purchase/bought a MSI NX6800GT TD256 and I noticed that this VGA card was made with production problems, and my 6800GT is with this problems... unfortunatelly (blue dots and my computer never initializate) - my power supply is a seventeam 400w and i was tested my card in 3 computers (same problems)
I entered in several forum and all say the same thing, MSI manufactured a wrong VGA card model during some time, with the cooler BBN (of plastic) and later modified the model placing a cooler called Cooper Ultra.
In the image, my model is the first picture and the correct model is the second.
but in the second image, besides in the site of MSI, it shows up the correct model, that is different from mine.
How should I proceed to change the model?
Thank you

It seems that since the introduction of the PCI-e version of the 6800 series... they have also started using the black-reference cooler...
Take a look at the photo of the NU pci-e in the photo...

FX5600-VTDR128 problems

I'm having problems with my new MSI GeForce FX5600-VTDR128. When playing games, the graphics locks up for approx 20 sec's and unlocks for about 3 sec's. this cycle can repeat continuously. Sometimes the game doesn't resume and I had to hit the reset button. I've upgraded to the Detonator 44.03 drivers. I also checked IRQs and the video card is using IRQ 19 which is not shared with anything else. I am using DX9. I moved the card to another machine and the same thing occurs in the other machine. I can't see the card being faulty as it works in all other instances. I have checked the bios settings and I can't see any problems. The system board is a K7N2-ILSR as indicated below. Can anyone help with this problem? Could there be a VGA BIOS bug, and if so, is there a BIOS fix for it? Help please
?( ?( ?( ?( ?( ?( ?(

snorbitz,
I am having a similar issue with my FX5600-VTDR128. My games continue to run, but the images appear to \"smear\" or \'pixelize\'. It is difficult to explain. I play Wolfenstein and Mechwarrior Mercenaries. In Wolfenstein, the images drawn on screen look great, as long as there is no movement. As soon as sometime moves, parts of the moving object are drawn in random places on the screen. For example, a sliver of the arm might be drawn diagonally from the top right to the center of the screen. These instances happen very quickly, and the 'misdraw' is almost like a strobe effect. In Wolfenstein, when the game really gets going, it is nearly impossible to play. Same with Mercenaries.
I have the latest DirectX, and I have the latest nVidia drivers. My mobo is an ASUS A7M-266 and I run an Athlon 1.4 Ghz with 512 DDR.
This problem is quite frustrating, since I bought the new card mostly for gaming purposes. If is doesn't get fixed, it'll go back to the seller.

FX5600-VDTR128 problem

I have just bought an FX5600-VDTR128 to replace my GeForce3 after a review in MicroMart a couple of weeks ago. My problem is that Windows XP crashes after a couple of seconds if I increase the display resolution beyond VGA. More than that, the screen corrupts and locks up after a short while in VGA.
I have used DriverCleaner to clean out the old drivers, and have tried the display drivers that came on the MSI CD and the latest drivers (4403) downloaded from the MSI driver site.
My system is a twin 1GHz PIII on an ABIT VP6 motherboard with 1GB RAM, running Windows XP Pro with SP1.
I know that the card is functioning correctly as it works fine with the NVidia drivers with Linux Mandrake 9.1 (hence my message now).
Has anyone else had problems with the FX5600-VDTR128 and XP Pro?
Andy Tuson

I dunno
I took it in today
nothing was wrong
it ws running 3d mark 2001 for about 40 minutes
(1024 by 768 by 32)
And it ran WCIII well too
I got it home, tried it
(3d Mark for about 15 minutes, 1280 by 1024)
and WCIII (1280 by 1024)
worked fine too
I dunno what it could be.
It seem fine now
the only changes was
we moved the ram from the first slot to the 3rd (green)
and I got another stick in there, on the second,so the first is blank.
might try that.

GF FX5600 Major Problem

Hi, i bought my GF5600 128 about a month ago, ive had no problems with it until tonight. I turned on my pc, it booted up and the screen was all funny colours and all messed up with bright pink and green blocks all over the place :(
I havent made any hardware changes or anything and had been using the 4403 drivers with no problems. I've tried rolling back the drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing has worked. Ive also tried removing the card and re-seating it, that hasnt worked either
Can anyone help or do i have to return the card as faulty?
My specs are: Athlon Xp2000+, MSI KT3 Ultra2-r, 512mb PC2700, 80gb HDD, Windows XP and the product number for my card MSI 8912, MSI FX5600 TD128
Thx

Maybe the system RAM might be loose in the slots, try reseating and test it with memtest86 to see if you get any errors.
No Joy? I would try the card in another machine or try a comparable card to troubleshoot in the problematic rig, If I had the hardware, that's what I would do, I'd even call a friend that has similar hardware.
It should become obvious what's next.
Keep us posted plz....

FX5600-vtdr128,Problem with games

I have FX 5600 installed in a GA-7N400 Pro2w/ 8xagp, mother board with athlon 2700, 512 mb, and 80gbHD. I am having a problem getting Battlefield 1942 to run. I have tried all combinations of video cards, ATI7500, ATI 8500 and the same board setup and it works fine. I install the 5600 and it won't. Keeps asking for cd. Is there an issue that anyone knows about that would cause this problem.
Thanks

Are you saying that your PC is asking for a driver disk? If windows is asking for a driver disk then download the latest drivers for your OS from nVidia. download and install the driver cleaner program.
Remove all drivers from Add-Remove programs then run driver cleaner (MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ DOCUMETATION THAT COME WITH DRIVER CLEANER) and Then install the nVidia drivers.
If this is not what you are looking for then you will need to uninstall your game and reinstall it
that game ran just fine for me when I had a FX5600
make sure that when you install drivers that all Anti Virus is off and don't use a download accelorator when downloading drivers
I hope this helps

FX5600-TD256 Artifacts

I'm getting some crazy artifact problems while playing games.
At some points part of the screen whacks out and starts flashing. It's mainly in the uper-right half. Imagine a line going from the top left directly to the bottom right, spliting the screen in two.
Also in all of the game HUD's there are weird shaped small blotches.

Has this always happened, is it a new card?
To check if it's a hardware/overheating problem underclock the card as low as you can.
Check here for how to change clock frequencies.
If the atifacts go away you it's probably a defective hardware issue. If they don't it's probably software related.

FX5600-TD256 goes screwy

After 5 months working fine, attached with DVI cable to Sceptre LCD the monitor becomes intermittently unstable like a bad tv picture i am trying to tune in only in neon green. I can make it go away by attaching standard VGA cable. Replaced DVI cable, OK for 8 hours. Updated drivers and it seems stable but when starting machine from cold the DOS screens have the green haze with vertical patterns running through it and neon green snow.

mathis60,
Check your Refresh Rates. If you need more answers, I can pull out my dart board if you like, since I do not have a clue what the specs of your comp are.
Take Care,
Richard
