GeForce FX 5200 and Windows ME

I have a machine that dual boots into Windows ME. I just installed an MSI GeForce FX 5200 graphics card and an MSI NForce2 board. I have installed the NForce 2.03 drivers, but when I install the GeForce 43.45 or 44.03 Windows ME drivers, the system either shuts down automatically at the beginning of the Windows startup, or it just hangs. I have done everything I can think of regarding the IRQs, etc. Windows ME works OK when the GeForce drivers are uninstalled - it boots up, but only 8bit graphics. Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 9 work fine on this same machine. Are there problems with the newer GeForce drivers for Windows ME?? Any help would be appreciated. ?( ?(

It's not the sharing that's causing your problems guys, go back to 41.09 Nvidia drivers and it should work fine. There are issues with the newer drivers that I've seen out there...give it a try and let us know how it works.
Make sure to clean ALL old drivers off of your system first so that you aren't mixing them. Use Drivecleaner or something similar to clean them off or do it manually, then reinstall the new drivers. I think gfilliti has posted a link to Drivecleaner somewhere here in the forum so do a search for it.
Cheers!! 8)

FX 5200 and Windows XP

Hello, I have a huge problem with my newly purchased FX-5200 card. When I try to install Windows XP, and the MSI drivers, the screen goes to black, and I can't do anything but reboot. I downloaded the latest versions, but it didn't help. Does someone know a solution to this problem?

Hi ebrian,

I bought a 865P Neo, two DDR 400 128MB, Intel 2.4c and Jetway Geforce FX 5200 128bit
Are you sure, they are two sticks of DDR 400 RAMs at 128MB each? What brand of the RAM are you using?
What HDD are you using now? Check for bad sectors and unfixed/ undetect errors within the HDD.
The info of your system specs is still insufficient for verification of the actual problem, please list your full system specs for us... Add-on cards, any? etc etc...
All the Best... :D!!!

GeForce FX 5200 and Dell 20" 2005FPW - not recognized

Hello,
I just got a dell monitor figuring that my computer could support it as it's the same as the apple display. It works with my powerbook - recognized by name, but that's an ati card. With the G5, it works in the VGA, but not at the correct resolution. it won't go to 1600 and there is no 1620 X 1050.
When the dvi cable is connected, the self test dissapears, but the monitor just goes to sleep.
I have the 64mb card....maximum res is 1900+. What's the deal? PC users can force the resolution with a utility. Am I stuck buying a new card for my machine??
thanks for any help.

Sam,
Don't waste your money. Your GeForce FX 5200 will run your Dell. In fact, I'm writing to you with my Dell 2005FPW monitor, running on my GeForce FX 5200. In this discussion group, I saw a suggestion to zap (reset) the PRAM. It worked for me.
Using the monitor that does work, zap your PRAM. When you zap your PRAM, as the G5 instruction manual says, release the 4 keys after the second chime. Then, you must go in and reselect, thru System Preferences, your Mac HD as the boot-up drive. Your manual says all this. ShutDown.
After I did all that, I reconnected my Dell, started up, & VOILA! Not only that, but when I went into System Preferences->Displays, I saw the Dell's 1680x1050 resolution as the selected resolution, so the GeForce seems to configure itself to anticipated device resolutions.
However, reading other threads in this group in trying to solve my problem, I saw that zapping PRAM doesn't always work. If it doesn't work for you, I suggest you go thru all the threads that seem to apply to your problem, because other considerations (not necessarily solutions) are offered.

PowerMacG5 - Geforce FX 5200 and TV Out

Hello,
Does the Apple DVI to SVideo adapter works fine for sending my movies on tv ?
I've got a PowerMac G5 DP1.8GHz with a Geforce FX 5200 video card.
Thx for reply.

The card came with a TV-Out S-C Connecting Cable (that´s how it says in the card´s web page).
This is the URL of the card (i couldn´t post the image of the cable)

GeForce FX 5200 and Dell 2405FPW Display Rotation

When I first got this Dell display I rotated the screen just to try it out and did it agian a couple weeks later to show off to a friend. I forgot how I did it but I guess I checked a box in the display preferences and I think I was on Mac OS X 10.4.5 at the time.
Now I really could have used this feature on a job but when I went to change the rotation the check box is no longer there. When/why was this feature removed. I know it was supported because I saw it with my own eyes but apparently not any more. My system profiler does not list it as capable of rotating the display.
Is there a workaround?
G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Yes, I am sure it's the same hardware (unless someone snuck into my office and made a switch) Musta been a full moon or something but at least I have a witness.
So what would be the cheapest VC upgrade that would permanantly reinstate the rotation.
Thanks for your imput

MS-6340M /GeForce FX 5200 problem??? Help!

I just bought the MS-6340 motherboard with Athlon 1.1 gig processor. I also bought the new Gainward 660/Pro nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB Video Card. THe Card is a 8X AGP and the motherboard has a 4X AGP slot.
My problem is that my computer completely freezes up all the time with that card in. I've put older cards in and the PC runs fine. I've currently have Windows XP, but I started out installing WIndows ME and 2000, and it locked up on them all. I have the latest 44.03 nVidia drivers installed. I also have the latest 4.7 BIOS installed for the motherboard.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Any help would be appreciated.

i have a GeForce FX 5200 and i have just a heatsink, no fan, and i overclock QUITE a bit, i bought off newegg.com, a universal video card fan, that works on 5200's, and now i can overclock past fx5200 ULTRA speeds!!!!!! its awesome!!! this fan is a vantec, and also comes with thermal paste, check it out, for $6.05, its awesome! click here - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-110-102&depa=0
or, go with the copper one, little bit more $$ though - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-110-103&depa=0
that definentally should be sufficient cooling
hope this solves your prob like it did mine!!!

Problems tv out geforce fx 5200?

I have one msi geforce fx 5200 and installs controllers 44,03 and the exit of TV is seen in black and white, but unistall the controllers and leaves those of win xp and if they appear the colors in the TV, it seems that they are the controllers? ?( ?(

Gente ... yo me compre una MSI fx 5200 hace 40 dias y desde entonces estoy intentando solucionar el problema...
PARA QUE QUEDE CLARO el problema se da cuando usamos el adaptador de s-video a RCA que trae la placa .... en combinacion con el uso de los drivers de Nvidia o MSI
si tenemos windows con drivers genericos o Linux con drivers genericos se puede ver a colores pero no aprovechamos la placa ya que el driver generico no nos da todas las ventajas que la placa tiene...
y si instalamos los drivers OFICIALES (sean los de Nvidia 44.03 o Los MSI nvidia 44.03) tanto en windows como en linux tenemos que ver blanco y negro ...
y para explicar lo que pasa QUE ES CULPA DEL DRIVER pongo de referencia esta pagina
http://www.coloredhome.com/video/conectores_senales_cables.htm
el tema seria asi
con los drivers estandar la placa usa el pin 3 de la ficha S-video para enviar la senal de RCA, pero cuando instalas los drivers de Nvidia deja de usar el pin 3 ... entonces tenes que modificar el cable adaptador o usar un cable de S-video/S-video siempre que el tele tenga esa entrada (lo cual no es mi caso)
teniendo de referencia la pagina que puse seria que con los drivers estandar estamos en la opcion 4 y cuando usamos los drivers de nvidia pasamos a la opcion 7, y para solucionar el problema tendriamos que hacer lo de la opcion 9 (bastante complicado)... por eso tenemos EXIGIR A LA GENTE DE MSI que corrigan el driver o nos den sin cargo un nuevo adaptador de S/video a RCA ya que en el manual dicen que esta caracteristica funciona PERO ES MENTIRA.........

Well, the topic say it all. Ive updated the drivers for my MSI Geforce FX 5200 card and now just after the Windows Xp logo disapear the screen turns black but its ON, he gets signal, if not it should say that i don´t have signal. Ive rebooted using safe mode, removed all the drivers and now im using the PC without any drivers, but i have stuff to do and i need to put this online again. Ive already tryed to use the previous drivers without any luck, same problem.
Apreciate your help!
Thanks!

Ive tryed NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows 2000/XP version 72.12 from the MSI website, they didn´t work. Ive entered in safe mode, removed the drivers and then ive tryed out 81.98_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.ex e from the Nvidia website, it didn´t work also. Finaly i tryed to place the old one 66.93_win2kxp_english.exe, also from Nvidia website that ive downloaded sometime ago, guess what, didn´t work. I already used NFR, nasty file remover, but without any luck. Im going to try to use Driver Cleaner Pro now to see what hapens, or you sugest something else?
Thanks!

Dell Widescreen Displays and GeForce FX 5200

Hi everyone,
I have a PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz with the original GeForce 5200 that came in it.
I'm shopping around for a replacement monitor and am considering Dell's 20.1" wide model (2005FPW).
Does anybody have any experience with this combination? I see that some have had problems with the DVI connector on the Dell displays. I also can't find anything that assures me that my video card is capable of displaying at the Dell's native 1680x1050 resolution.
Any help or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid the high price of the Apple displays.
PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It's with some comfort that others have the same problem I do, getting my Dell 2005fpw to interface with my GeForce FX 5200 on my PowerPC G5,running OS 10.3.9. I've seen elsewhere (can't remember where) Mac users raving about their Dell monitors. They know something I don't, I guess, and that's why I'm in this discussion.
I wonder how users of the Apple Cinema 20" are able to interface with the GeForce 5200, when the Cinema requires the same 1680x1050 resolution as the Dell. I've accessed the nVIDIA site to download an update, but no luck. Think I'll go back in & look at the resolutions available on the GeForce 5200.

G5 GeForce FX 5200 graphics and third party monitor

I need to buy a new monitor on which I can change manual settings, to work with a G5 1.6GHz using a GeForce FX 5200 card.
Unfortunately the new Mac displays (24") only use a mini display port. And the 20" cinema displays are no longer sold.
I have seen a Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA 22" with VGA and DVI-D ports. It's 1680 x 1050 resolution. Any ideas on compatibility with the graphics card? Will the DVI port on the G5 work with it? I would prefer to use the DVI rather then the VGA port.
Thanks.
kevin

Hi Japamac; thanks for your reply.
I was referring to being able to change, using physical controls on the monitor itself, the Brightness, contrast, colour temp.
I had read elsewhere (somewhere in this support section, I think), that using the manual controls had become a problem when connected to this card/G5.
We currently have an old ADC connected 17" monitor, on which there are no manual controls of that sort. (The purpose of making these manual settings is to use in conjunction with a Spyder2Pro for colour calibration).

ADC and DVI (GeForce FX 5200)

Hello,
I need some help! I have been offered a G5 1,8Ghz PowerMac with a GeForce FX 5200.
Just a while ago, I bought an LCD Monitor (22``) with only one D-SUB socket (analog).
Do I have the chance to run this monitor with the installed GeForce ???
Hope to get some usefull tips.

You should be able to run it with the help of this adapter...

20" Apple Cinema LCD Display and GeForce FX 5200

Hi,
My video card is GeForce FX 5200. I want to upgrade my monitor (finally!) to 20" Cinema Display. Do I need to upgrade my video/graphic card too? If so, what would be your recommendations?
Thanks!

Hi-
The GeForce FX 5200 will support the 20" Cinema Display.
If you want to upgrade the 8x AGP graphics in your G5 (what model G5?), the ATI Radeon 9600 PC & Mac version would be a good upgrade from the 5200:

Fade-off with MSI T-128 (nVidia geForce FX 5200) PCI card

Hi
I'm totally fade-off with nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (MSI -T128) graphics PCI card. I've tried all options found on different forums and also with latest driver for the card both from MSI and nVidia. But non of these are able to solve my problem.
Even though, I have installed the latest driver for the card form nVidia or MSI, my system gives BSOD (infinite loop) on XP and system hang on Ubuntu/Linux. Request you to please help me out for this problem. Its dam sure something wrong in the card driver or BIOS settings as its occurring with any OS.
This is my last ray of hope, with a expection that some MSI people will help me out, else I'll have to throw the f**king card to bin. Sorry being unprofessional, but it seems that I have wasted my money banking on the brand MSI/nVidia.
PC Configuration:
1. Asus K8N motherboard (nVidia chipset, NO on-board graphics)
2. MSI T-128 (nVidia GeForce FX 5200) PCI graphics card
3. Windows XP SP3/ Ubuntu 9.04
4. 512 MB DDR1 RAM
5. 320GB, 7200 rpm Seagate ATA HDD
6. AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Again request the nVidia people plz plz plz .. help me.
Note that, When I'm booting with safe mode in XP, the PC DOES NOT hangs.
Thank you in advance.

Its followed by "Sorry being unprofessional". But when my hard earning money draining, its obvious. Anyway, Do you have answer to my request ? Or only guiding me for proper language ? If you have ans plz give me too.

Is it AGP card? Which one?

Have you tested the VGA in another machine?
After a couple of years savings, I got this PC and you are asking for another PC ? I'm not rich like you.
Hope you have NOT read my post completely and replied, Mr moderator.

GeForce fx 5200

My motherboard is from the 651M-L/650GM-L Series. I recently bought a XF GeForce FX 5200. What happens is that i can't even install the video card - it´s like there is no conection at all. I put it there, install the drivers and nothing happens. I have tried to change the BIOS but it didn´t do nothing.
Is there an incompatibility?
I´m really desperate so i´d like anyone to help me.
THANKS!
