GF4 MX460-VTP

I bought a MX-460 about 2 months ago and have had it in my MSI K7 board, with a Slot type Athlon 500MHz. and I have had no problems with it. Yesterday I bought an MSI Turbo2 LE and AMD Athlon XP 1800+ . When I turn the computer on, right from the start of the POST there is white spots and lines scrolling all over the screen.
Windows ( 98 ) no longer boots, it loads about half way and the computer resets. I checked bootlog.txt, and the last entry was to do with NVCORE.VXD.
This is not a driver problem as it happens at POST, and in the BIOS. The card is not overclocked at all.
I am beginning to lose faith in MSI products, as I am also having problems with the mainboard too.  (No secondary IDE detection)  X(

does your psu give over 200 watts combined
you have increased power requiements by a major factor
do asearch also on the board here i swear its your board that going back to 3.3 bios fixed a lot of oddities for people

  • Problem with GF4 MX460 VTP - Module Capture from VCR

    I have problem with my GF4.
    When i try capture from VCR, the bottom of image has a distorsion, like a cut off peace.
    I don't know if the driver, software of capture (Ulead Video Studeo 6.0), the "excellent" Windows XP Professional or simply my VCR.
    Somebody can help me.
    Thanks

    Walter,
    I have the same problem. I don't think it's a software issue (unless the capture driver causes it). The bottom 7 lines of captured video seems like shifted right.
    You can use VirtualDub ( http://www.virtualdub.org ) to capture, setting crop options to ignore last 7 lines.
    I agree with CrazyCamel, use virtualdub and HuffYuv codec  http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv.html
    This codec does lost free compression, and is *very* fast. You can capture at 320x240 writing average 2.2 MB/s (against over 5 MB/s uncompressed). It allows you to capture 640x480 or 720x480 (DVD quality) with low frame lost (maybe none, depending on your system).
    I hope these links helps you.

  • Geforce 4 MX460-VTP vs ECS K7S5A

    Hi there - here are my current system specs.
    K7S5A rev1 MoBo with NEW BIOS update (as of today)
    Athlon XP 1700+ with Zalman Flower Cooler
    256Mb SDRAM
    Creative Riva TNT2 32Mb AGP graphics
    Creative Live Value Sound Card
    Creative Blaster 56K Modem (brand loyalty???)
    3com 10/100 PCI network card
    Hauppage WinTV card
    plus a DVD drive, CD-RW drive and two HDDs
    All powered by a Q-Tec 550W PSU
    I tried to replace the Riva TNT2 with a new (and tested) Geforce 4 MX460-VTP by MSI. I get 8 error beeps (VGA error) and fail to get the board to POST. Ive tried adding the new SIS AGP drivers (rev. 1.14), changing the RAM, removing EVERY component from the board and power chain (even the CPU cooler, as it doesnt need the fan) tried PCI graphics cards (which work - plus Im using an AGP card now) dropping the AGP down to 1x and nothing. I know the card works because it boots in three other machines (none of which have K7S5A boards) and I just cant get the board to POST.
    If ANYONE has any suggestions please let me know, because the Geforce MX460 is an impressive card (and I only paid £45 for it) and the K7S5A has served me well this past year, and I dont want to have to choose between them. Please tell me whats going on before the geforce ends up on eBay

    Well I changed my cards around abit and ended up with an IRQ setting like this :
    5. MSI MS-Starforce GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
    5. SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    11. Creative AudioPCI
    11. Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast ethernet NIC #2
    11. SiS-900 PCI fast ethernet adapter
    12. SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    Now the problem within #5 - is that "SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller" appears to be my USB ports, which are onboard and I can't just move them around like my Netcard and soundcard - my GFX I can't move either, since I only have one AGP slot.
    It still does the same freeze up however.
    Also, I would really like to know how to remove the fan on the GFX, since I can't really clean it properly if I do not remove it. (It's a little dusty, and it will decrease heating if I get it cleaned properly)

  • GF4 MX460 with only 32MB?

    Hi,
    I just bought a MSI GF4 MX460, and after installing the WindowsXP driver from the supplied CD, the adapter reports only having 32MB instead of 64MB.
    How can this be?
    I have also tried running with drivers from the MSI website and from the nVidia website. No change.
    Motherboard is a ASUS with Award BIOS, with PIII 600.
    It only supports AGP 2x.
    Thanks.

    I have seen a post about the same problem. The guy solved it by replacing the card. Might be your case too. Try Start/Run/Dxdiag/Display and see the Aprox. Total Memory. If it is 32MB, better ask the vendor to replace your card.

  • 640x480 and above, capture with MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP

    could anyone successfully perform this operation ?
    The weird thing is that if I set a capture of something like 5 fps in VirtualDub and 640x480 (I tried with several codecs and thought that decreasing the fps would improve the bandwidth usage), it still doesn't want to capture anything -> 0 frames. The maximum I can get (15% frames lost) is 320x200 at 30 fps.  I tried to capture directly to memory as it's supposed to be very fast, no luck.
    Maybe my system is not monster enough, don't know....   ?(   Or could that be the card which is limited for this ?
    MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP - 1 gig RAM (DDR 333), Athlon XP 2100, IBM ICL35 120 GB - OS : W2K.
    WDM 1.16 from MSI-CD. I tried with WDM 1.08 too.

    your system is fine for this kind of job....
    i have no problem in capturing full pal (768x...) in 30 fps (using included wincoder and mpeg1 or mpeg2 codecs) 60% cpu load on duron @1380
    virtual bud will need somethong better then 1,3gh duron but i got no problems with 640x480 divx pro 5.02 25fps on my current sysetm (but the cpu load is high 75-90%) (0% frame lost)
    some motion codecs (mjpg) will need both fast cpu and fast hdd....
    uncompresed will produce so much data that even very fast hdd's will by to slow
    but it is in fact weird 15% frame lost on 320x200 is much to high.. what board are u using?? are the latest 4in1 drivers instaled (very important for w2k) by shure that agpx4 and bus mastering are on... are u using any other extensin cards (tv tuner, off board sound, ide, lan??) if yes try removing them

  • MSI MX460-VTP tv-out problems

    I just buy one MSI MX460 with VIVO, but TV in/out only works with the supplied drivers (Detonators 27.20). Installing any other version only appears one cyan screen in the TV.
    The same thing with video capture, installing WDM drivers 1.19 the video in don't works, only with the supplied drivers (WDM 1.11)
    Please help me!
    My system:
    - MSI MX460-VTP 64MB DDR
    - WinXP SP1
    - AMD TBird 850
    - Soyo K7VTA-B KT133
    - Micron 512MB RAM
    - SoundBlaster Live! 5.1

    do you uninstall the drivers before installing the new ones?, if not try that as drivers can be picky at times

  • Built-In TV Tuner in MSI Geforce4 MX460-VTP ?

    I notice that MSI Geforce4 MX 460-VTP has TV-Encoder Philip 7108.  People also claim that after the installation of Capture driver, the Device Manager also shows these 4 devices in Sound, Video & Game Controller :
    - NVidia XP WDM Audio Capture
    - XP WDM Crossbar
    - XP WDM TVTuner
    - XP WDM Video Capture
    As I also have Leadtek WInfast TV2000-XP, it also installed these 4 devices.  Does it mean that the card already has a TV Tuner function on-board and I can get rid of the Leadtek TV200-XP card ?
    However, I remember correctly that the spec for this card doesn't mention anything about TVTuner function.
    Can anyone explain ?

    Hey there,
    I've got exactly the same setup.
    Using the MSI geforce 4 4600 and a Winfast XP/2000 TV Tuner
    Huge Problems...like I can't get the Winfast card to work.
    The system recognizes it and installs the Winfast version WDM drivers. Great right?!?!?! ,
    Well after installing the Winfast APP (newest version), I get no TV?!?!
    I can't remember exactly where the problems started.
    But at one point, my system worked perfectly.
    I think it may have something to do with either installing the WDM drivers on the MSI CD or Windows XP Pro.
    I've emailed Leadtek support and they couldn't find a solution. So they've asked me to RMA the card.
    Some other things to note.
    After removing the card and all instances of the drivers and app. I still get errors in my event viewer...all saying that the device is not present. No !!!
    If you know how to get rid of the errors...please enlighten me.
    Does your setup work?!?!?!

  • GF4 Ti4200-VTP 8x (MS-8889) Hardware monitoring support?

    hi all,
    I'm having problems with the 3D turbo experience software and also the problem with the display settings tabs (desk.cpl error message when trying to view the MSI tabs)
    so my question does the MS-8889 support the hardware monitoring function? its not on the list posted in the sticky thread.......
    what I found for the desk.cpl problem is that if I go to:
    Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Adapter > Properties and then try the MSI tab it will show the tab but with incorrect information, fx memory
    on the Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Adapter tab memory etc is displayed correctly.
    Win2000, clean install from scratch using latest MSI driver (41.07)

    That information is in the first post in the BULLETIN sticky thread at the top of this forum.
    Usually it's a good idea to take a look at the sticky posts when coming to a forum.
    The Bulletin will change as I add bits of info
    That information is NOT in the sticky BULLETIN, and if you would have read my post wich is usually a good idea for a forum moderator before replying and slagging off a forum newbie, you would have seen that I did read the BULLETIN.
    as stated in my original post, my card (MS-8889) is not listed in the list of cards in the BULLETIN, does that mean that my card does not exist or doesnt MSI know whether or not it supports hardware monitoring?
    rigorous says that he has the same card and that he got the hardware monitoring to work with v2.11 of the SW on a machine running XP, I have tried with XP and v. 2.11 with and without SP1 and also with v. 2.13 but still can not get this to work on my machine, I have also downloaded all updates from MS but still to no avail.
    also updated to latest version of IE and the Macromedia flash player still no go.
    same thing with latest NVidia drivers 43.45
    if rigorous has this working in XP as he says he does and I have no reason to doubt him it would indicate that the hardware does support hardware monitoring so that would indicate that it is a problem with the software, does anyone know what the reqirements of the SW is?

  • GF4 MX460 W/ Video In Problems

    Ok i know the video out will only work with old drivers but the video in on my MSi won't work. I formatted and it works great but then after i reboot i see only white and black horizontal lines on the Capture screen. It used to work after format. So i said what the hey and i formatted again and it worked, but after a reboot same thing. I have tried tje new capture drivers by nvidia and also the version 1.08 WDM. Its all the same can anybody help me please? Thanks

    I use the "InterVideo WinProducer" that came w/ my MSI Video Card.  It works pretty well.  Once you have it set up, you need to right click on the "capturing device."  Usually there is a list where you can select which device you want to use (e.g. a web cam, your video card, digital camera, etc.)  In WinProducer, i right clicked on the "nVidia WDM video" or somethin like that.  Then you have a bunch of options like "Video Source" and "Video Standards"  Make sure you have the right source, (TV, SVideo, or Composite) corrospoinding to what you are using.  Then check the standard, for me it was "NTSC_M." Just play around with that till it works.

  • MSI mx460 vtp tv out problem

    Im pluging into my the with svideo (cable fine channel to video"
    Got the latest 30.00 driver.
    capture works OK
    tv out using nview gets the signal to my tv "the reason i can tell is my tv screen turns bleu as per winXP but the tracking is way off
    thats the only way how i can explane the lines
    i cant see any background or icon just bleu with line ...
    i need help please  

    Thanks for your reply.
    I got it to work after installing detonator version 28.32. The supplied driver which I think is version 28.90 didn't work. Very weird...   :(
    Anyway, since it's working now, I haven't tried switching the VGA port. The monitor is currently plugged into the inner VGA port (closer to the AGP port). I have no idea which one is VGA1 and VGA2...  ?(
    I just hope that nVidia will fix this issue with the upcoming detonators.

  • Gf4MX440-VTP TV-Out doesnt work.

    I've just buyed a dual gf4 mx440 with 64Mb and TV-Out, TV-In.
    When I installed it I began working with two monitors witout problems, but when I've tried to connect de TV-Out, it doesnt word.
    I've checked a hundred times the cable connecting, and it's ok because with my old graphic card I could.
    I tried to upgrade the BIOS with an unofficial version and it didn't work, I downdated to the original version of BIOS again.
    The graphic card detects the TV because it enables the TV-Out option in the configuration, but when I enable it I get a strange screen of one color on TV. The TV get's of a color brown or orange or something like that and I can't see nothing.
    I've selected my country format (Pal/B, Pal/G). I've also tried all other formats whitout any result.
    I'm running Windows 2000 Sp3
    My motherboard is a DFI AD70-SC (With AGP 4x)
    AMD Athlon XP 1.500
    512Mb DDR RAM
    I've tried all but it doesnt work.
    Thank you very much.

    Dunno if this thread is still going, but I figured why not
    Well, I bought the GF4-mx440 VTP (8866) back in october, but haven't actually gotten around to testing it until last night, and I ran into the same issues.
      For reference, the drivers on my cd are 30.00.
      It was quite frustrating, but I did a ton of research and here is what I was able to find out. THis information isn't terribly organized, but bear with me because it's hopefully useful
      TV-out on nvidia cards is not as simple as some may say.  (Ie. all those who say nvidia has way better drivers than ati ).
      Different detonator versions have WIDELY varying tvout support.  In Some versions it works, some it works well, some it works poorly and others it doesn't work at all. Quite shocking, but sadly this is true.
      Bits of info about the MSI-mx440 vtp itself.  The tv out is based on a Seperate chip, the Phillips 7108. This chip handles the tv in and out features.  (Geforce4 chips have themselves an "on chip" solution for tvout.  But typically when manufactures use a Video In chip, you let that chip handle video out also).
      Regarding the 440's bios.  There is only one version (as listed through the live update running win9x).  HOWEVER there are issues with this card and WinXP, to which the fix is to apply a bios update.  I have not tried liveupdate on winxp (I run 98se), but I think that this bios update is only available upon special request to MSI.  I'm not sure how it affects the situation(s) under win9x, but supposedly it fixes some winxp issues.  (I will be installing  XP in a dual boot config shortly, so I'l know for sure soon ).  So according to the MSI support FAQ's, there is a bios update to address issues in winXP, that you can only get through special request (assuming you have winxp).  I am not sure what the affects would be on  win9x system, but since I am giong to dual boot soon, I'll probably have to apply the new bios and find out.
      Okay, so how to find out if it's a software (driver) problem, or if it's hardware (a broken card that you can return).  Here's what you do:
      Unplug all monitors (vga connections) and plug in the TV out (I dont' have any s-vidoe tv's, so I just use the composite (RCA) jack) to a tv, and make sure the tv is on.  Now boot your computer.
      If you get output to the tv (usually the post info from the motherboard, followed by the win98 startup screen) this means your hardware works fine.  (This is what happened to me).  Strangely, it made it all the way into windows (on the tv), but typically what happens is that once windows loads you end up with the messed up   pinkish brown screen.  (I've never been able to have it boot into windows on the tv since then, heh).
      SO if you do get picture during startup (before the os loads) then it means your card is fine, and it's a driver issue.
    *Note: One thing I've noticed is that your tv-output is affected by  which VGA out port you put your monitor on. For me, when booting with both connected (vga and tvout) if it's plugged into one socket, I see both monitor and tv, if it's plugged into the other socket, I don't see tv at boot.  Not a big issue, but worth noting*
      Okay, so now if you did see otuput on the tv during boot (before windows), you know your hardware is working.  So you have to find a driver version that works for you.  I'm going to list my own experiences.
      MY cd came with the 30.00 MSI drivers.  These gave me that icky pinkish brown flickering screen.  Tv-out didnt' work with them.  Tried the 31.00 MSI drivers, same thing.  This was odd I thought, as the two most recent MSI drivers didn't work.  So I tried the MSI 28.90 drivers, same thing with them too.
      Finally I tried the MSI 27.20 drivers, and voilla, tv out worked!  I was able to extend the desktop, and clone it, was even able to tape a downloaded episode of 24 on my vcr .  
     Of course using year old drivers is less than ideal (especially for 3d gamming).  However, these are the ONLY MSI drivers that have tvout working.
      I decided to move on to the nvidia detonator reference drivers, ideally you'd stick with the manufacture MSI, but what can you do.  Here is what I have found so far:
    27.20 MSI - Works with tv out
    27.20 Nvidia - Works with tv out
    27.30 Nvidia - This one is interesting, tv out works in extended desktop mode.  BUT there is no tab in the options for cloning (the 'nview' tab is missing).  So you can't clone, or overlay, only the extended desktop.  So it's an "extended desktop only" driver.
    27.42 Nvidia - Works with tv out (works same as 27.20s)
    28.90 MSI - NO tv out
    30.00 MSI - No tv out
    31.00 MSI - No tv out
    30.82 - Most resent 41.09 Nvidia  - Tried them all, no tv out for any of them.
      I have yet to try all the 28-29 nvidia reference drivers, so dunno if tvout works with them.
      So what does this all mean?  FIrst off, check if your cards hardware works (boot only with tv on and tvout connected, NO VGA).  If your hardware works, then you have to find drivers that work with tvout.  Give the ones that worked for me a shot, see if they work for you. (I typically plug in my vga and tvout at same time, so a see the POST in BOTH of them. Boot the computer with everything on, and then go to the settings and try to enable tvout).
      This situation is less than ideal of course.  It looks like you have to pick your drivers based on 3d performance, or tvout. But not both!  Either use the most recent drivers for the best 3d support (but no tvout!), or 1yr old drivers for tv-out, but not the best 3d support.  I'm an avid gamer personally, so this situation sucks.
      What I find odd, is that MSI's own drivers (28.90, 30.00, 31.00) have these issues.  They are privy to the peculiarities of the MSI cards, so they should be able to address it.
      What the pattern (some drivers work, others don't) suggests to me is that MSI cards aren't fully compatible with the reference design.  Possibly an issue with the bios.
      I will try and get a hold of the bios update for the WinXp issue, and see how that affects the situation in win98se.
      Hopefully this was helpful

    AMD xp1700, 256-DDR Kingston - Samsung chips, ECS k7s5a MB, seagate barracuda IV 40gb HD, LG 40x cdrw, onboard ac97 sound + lan,  Usb keyboard + usb mouse).

  • PAL-M capturing in GFMX460-VTP

    Hi to all.
    I've just bought a MX460-VTP video card and started having problems with it. The matter is that I don't know how to capture PAL-M video and I'm trying to solve this problem since I received it (about a month).
    I've already read all the posts about MX460 in this forum and it seems that it have not a solution to the problem, that, I think, shall affect many brazilians like me.
    Well... Even thus I'd like to put my questions here...
    1) IS IT POSSIBLE capturing PAL-M video format with MX460-VTP?
    2) HOW to do that?
    My configurations are as follow:
    Pentium III 933
    HD Maxtor 30 GB
    256 MB RAM
    Win ME 4.90.3000
    Motherboard Asus CUV4X-C
    All the programs that came with the card are installed, excepting the 3D-glasses driver, that causes problems to "Display Configuration".
    Thanks to all that could help us (the problem isn't only with me)

    Thank you, Enio.
    It seems that I will have to do what I don't want: buy a transcoder NTSC/PAL-M!

  • Does exist the MSI GF4 TI4200 VTP8X?

    Hello, I live in Spain and I go to adquire a MSI graphics card. I'll buy a GF4 TI4200 VTP 8X, but I think that model doesn't exist because in the oficcial page not appear, only appears the TD 8X and the VTD 8X models. But in http://www.alternate.net that model exist! What happen? Exist or not exist?
    Thank you very much !!!
    P.D. Sorry for my English, it isn't very well

    I had the same problem with my MSI  G4 Ti4200-VTD8X.
    I did the same manual loading of the capture program. Didn't work. Look in control panel under your hardware and see if there is a yellow "!" next to the part that mentions "capture."  Every time that was there the in didn't work.
    I would uninstall and try it again.  
    Sometimes it would work for the day.  I would even shut the computer off and when I would turn it back on, it would still work.  Shut it off for the night and the next day it wouldn't work again! Go figure!!! Do a restore to the point where I shut the computer off for the night, and it still wouldn't work.
    I believe it worked for good when I loaded the 4072 drivers.  I did not install the manual program (I think - I did so  many un/installs I can't be sure).  Now the funny thing, those other little installs are not in my harware.  But it works.  I can't explain this.
    Basically, uninstall the whole card driver , not just the capture.  Reinstall the card driver without that other manual capture program.  Just keep trying installing and uninstalling and checking out WinProducer to see if the capture option is there.  If it still doesn't, try the manual capture program.  Just keep trying different combinations.
    Sorry that this isn't more of a step by step, but it worked for me.  Hopefully MSI will put out another driver soon that will fix this once and for all.

  • MSI MX 460 and DVI

    How does the MSI MX460 VTP support a DVI monitor/cable with no DVI-I connector on the card.  Does a DVI cable and a VGA convertor retain the benefits of DVI ?

    Is this the card:
    It only has 2 analog outputs, where did it say it supports DVI? (it doesn't).
    As I see it the only cards that support DVI are the GF4 Ti series and one retired GF3 model (from MSI I mean).

Maybe you are looking for
