Gfx5200-t128 no 4x agp

hi again.can someone please direct me or help me.just bought a gfx5200-t128 agp card.had a 32mb msi card in my system and had to upgrade because my kids are playing bigger games.installed the card and checked out to see if it was running a 4x agp, but only running at 2x.down loaded riva tuner, detonator r.i.p. and the latest driver pack. 53.03. removed the older driver (52.16 and 52.14) and reboot, ran the detonator r.i.p program and deleted the rest of the drivers info, changed to standers display and then cheched to see in 4x agp with no card driver installed and 4x was selected :-D) ok, but after i installed the driver pack rechecked, it whent to 2x X-((.ran the riva tuner program and forced 4x and rebooted.check to see if running 4x  :-D) ok. loaded up a game command and conquer generals ran good for the first two minuts and then the screen started to go all colors and lost control of the game, had to do alt,ctrl,del and shut down program and then change back to 2x in riva tuner.things run ok in 2x as soon as i change to 4x that game crashes every time. i also downloaded the latesr abit driver pack 4&1 pack and installed them also
 i have a abit vt6x4 motherboard

please help as i would like to get this card running a 4x agp. thanks :biggthumbsup: :-D)...ps have tried this over and over with diff driver installed 52.16,52.15,53.03 and all at 4x crashes the game.is there a right way and a wrong way to uninstall an install drivers, it seems that there is a lot of ways to do themwith lost of diff programs

I´ve written it in other threads, but here is again:
The VIA 694X chipset defaults to 2X transfer rate to workaround insufficient drive strength from one of the signals. This may or may not happen with your motherboard. Try forcing AGP 4X transfer rate with RivaTuner from System Tweaks - Compatibility. There it is the explanation of this problem. If you keep getting an unstable machine after you forced 4X AGP transfer, there´s probably no fix for it. Anyway you won´t lose too much performance, but this happens also with the VIA KT133, so perhaps you should contact VIA for some help, but they could tell you to install their VIA 4 in 1 service packs, and that´s an useless question!!!

  • 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!!

  • MSI FX5200-T128[8917]Has 5200Ultra Chip Will it need AGP Voltage rise

    Hi,
    Some where in this forum i saw that someone is talking about after removing the heatsink of 5200 and seeing it is 5200 Ultra ...It happened to me too...  
    My GPU is ought to be 5200 but under the heatsink it is 5200 Ultra
    soo i need help about that how can i found vga bios for to turn its bios to 5200 Ultra's  
    My xp drivers saying it is 5200, after i updated bios will it be turn to 5200 Ultra...?? it must be but is there any compability issues known by anyone ??
    And it is 5200 Ultra why it doesn't needs external power input[From PSU] like other Ultras have ?
    If i rise the AGP voltage will it be helpful to use all power of 5200Ultra ?
    thanx for your time ...
    Sorry for my english

    Since this issue is regarding a VGA card I'm moving your thread to the VGA Forum...

  • 5200 T128. my computer freezes when i try to run games

    OK.. the thing is:  i just bought a Geforce FX 5200 T128, with 128 MB DDR (the one without a cooling fan), and when i try to run my DirectX 9 games (GTA: Vice city, NFS: Underground, Hitman: Contracts) my computer locks up in the game's loading screen. These lock-ups occur also, when i set the anisotropic filtering at values higher than 2x, and/or when i turn the V-sync on, but only when i start a game..
       ALSO...... the same lock-up occurs when i try to RENAME A FILE ------- the cursor is still blinking, but EVERYTHING else freezes.
          So? whats up guys.... last time i checked the FX 5200 had support for DX9, didn't it?
          Well, i can't tell exactly if the problem is common to all DX9 games, because i didn't tryed many of them... but the games listed above, all require DX9. Furter more, those games ran on my older Geforce2 MX400, witch doesn't have support for DX9. All my other non DX9 games work fine (well not to the max, because i still have a mainboard witch supports only AGP 4x). If i change my mainboard to one with AGP 8x will the problem be solved?
         Also, the videocard, out of my opinion, gets  too hot after i play a game, but i don't think this should be the problem, because when i try to start those games, my computer still locks up, even though i just started it, and the videocard didn't have time to overheat.
          The problem occurs with both the driver from the CD that came with the card, and the new Forceware 56.72. I haven't tryed oder drivers. The videocard is not overclocked, and the frequencies are on the standard 200 Mhz (GPU), and 400 Mhz (RAM)
          So, can you help me out here.. give me some suggestions? I have written here all the information i beleive are relevant to the problem. My processor is a 1200 Mhz AMD Duron, and 256 MB SDRAM
    -------------  -------------

    Obi One,
    Have you tried changing the AGP voltage in your bios to 1.6V?  Got the same problem before when running 3D games.  My system doesn't lock up but it gives me weird display (lot of greens).  It was solved when I increased my AGP voltage setting from 1.5V to 1.6V.  You may want to post your power supply specs too because the FX cards are really power hungry.
    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.

  • Problem GeForce FX 5200 T128 DDR

    My video card is MSI GeForce FX 5200 T128 DDR
    I have a problem in games - eg. if i'm playing GTA III (Vice City) when
    i play a few min.
    everything are mixed up with everything. Buildings, road, grass have

    Try disabling AGP fast writes.
    If you have a passively coold FX it's possible it's heating up, you should try it with the case open or with a fan over the heatsink.

  • T128 FX5200 graphics card gives poor quality TV display

    I recently bought an MSI T128 FX5200 card and a Mega Sky USB TV receiver. I initially installed the TV USB card and this worked fine. However, as soon as I installed the graphics card the display was degraded. There is a poor picture, but it is washed out, garish, pixellated and indistinct (as if the display settings were very basic). I get the same problem with mpeg video on Windows Media Player. Having tested the graphics card using 3DMark 2001 it gives a perfectly respectable score of over 4662 - which suggests the hardware is working fine.
    My set-up is:
    Sempron 2200+ processor
    Socket A MSI Motherboard MS-7061
    512 Mb PC2700 Crucial memory
    T128 FX5200 graphics card (passive cooling)
    Monitor - Hansol 710P - 17" CRT
    Current Display mode 1024 x 768 (32 bit)
    Direct X version: 9.0c
    Windows XP (sp2)
    I have tried fiddling around with BIOS settings (e.g. turning off shared graphics and changing to 4X AGP instead of 8X) and display settings but to no avail. I don't want to remove my graphics card to be able to watch TV - rather defeats the objective of getting a graphics card. Any suggestions?

    SORTED!
    Thanks a lot for the advice Dr Stu - although I'm not clear whether it was your advice specifically that sorted the problem. Here's what I did:
    I removed all Via Uichrome IGP drivers and utilities via Add/Remove Programs off the Control Panel.
    I closed Windows XP down and went in to BIOS. Changed to AGP 4X and turned off FastWrites and disabled shared VGA memory.
    Installed FX5200 T128.
    On entering Windows loaded drivers for FX5200 from CD-ROM that came with T128. Everything worked fine. I've since reverted to AGP 8X and enabled Fastwrites - with no adverse effects. So, it's unlikely that this was the source of the problem (I had tried turning them off before receiving your advice).
    The strange thing is, I'm pretty convinced I did all of the above previously. So the chances are that I'd failed to delete some of the VIA drivers properly even though I thought I'd done so. I turned off my internet connection, to make sure that the drivers weren't updated on the sly. I thought I'd done this before as well - but who knows.
    I suppose the moral for me is to be meticulous - and not to asssume I've done things properly first time!
    Thanks again for the help, if nothing else you inspired me to have another bash at sorting things when I'd given up.
    Now I will be looking for advice to sort out my MSI Mega Sky Usb Digital TV drive....

  • [Radeon] MSI RX9250-T128

    Hi.My name is adrian and i'm from Malaysia. I recently purchased a MSI graphic card, that is the RX 9250-T128. This is an AGP based VGA card. I bought it to upgrade my home PC, which is a Pentium 4 processor, based on a MSI motherboard, which is the MSI 845G MAX motherboard. I bought my home PC way back in 2002.
    Now, the problem is, once installed the card in the AGP slot, the computer doesn't boot up. Now, the RX 9250 is said in the system requirements to be compatible with AGP 4x.My MSI 845G has an AGP 4x slot and not an AGP 8x slot.
    Even before purchasing the VGA card, I checked out from the MSI website about the requirements and the compatibily of both the card and the motherboard. There was nothing about non-compatibilty of these both the motherboard and VGA card.
    so what is the problem and what can be done to rectify the problem???PLEASE HELP!!!!

    i oso ... i jz brought the MSI RX9250-T128 2 upgrade my old graphic card.. but duno y fail 2 install the driver tat come along wif the graphic card tat provide by MSI? normally wat  is the problem? i am using the winXP, the window XP din show any ATI 9250 driver? How will like tis?

  • MSI 5200 T128 intermittent no Video at POST

    Hi folks:
    I've got a MSI FX 5200 T128 AGP that occasionally refuses to display video on POST.  (monitor says: NO SIGNAL)  The card works in other machines, but the problem seems to come and go (on the original machine), so it might be a problem in other machines too, but I need more time to test that.
    Also, there seemed to be some occasional minor video corruption - as if the monitor was degaussing - this also occurs intermittently.
    Pulled out the card, tried a 1 MB PCI vid card, worked ok for a week.  Put the MSI FX AGP card back in - worked for 3 days - shut down computer overnight - in morning no POST, problem reoccured.
    Tried the monitor on other computers - seems ok.
    I thought it might be a PSU issue, so that was changed, but the problem remains.
    This computer functioned OK for 15 months.  Suddenly this issue started.  
    No power surges have occured / no lightening strikes  
    the vid card and motherboard are still under MSI's warranty.

    -computer/video card never overclocked
    Tried: AGP FastWrites on/off
              AGP X8 enabled on/off
              Init. display first AGP.PCI  AGP/PCI toggle
              -pull and reseated video card
              - pull and reseated system RAM
              - visual inspection of Vid Card = no burns, no loose parts
    My guess is: - Video card bad
                       - AGP Slot bad
                        - other Motherboard issue.
    I need to know:
    -solution(s)
    -if Video card fails in another machine,  I'll RMA, but the problem occurs after some time, will they accept this  RMA?
    -if Video OK, then mobo? Same as above: problem intermittent, and takes time to reoccur,  will they accept this RMA?
    Thanks.

    I have a K7N2G-ILSI with a Barton 2500+and installed an FX 5200-TD128 card and computer would not POST. The problem ended up being the memory (2 x GEIL Ultra DDR400 256MB @ 333MHZ). After replacing mem. with 2 x PNY PC2700 DDR333 256MB resulted in instant cure. Try replacing your DDR400 with DDR333 mem. sticks.

    Try again with Vista 32bit, 64bit is highly unstable and only a few have it running stable.
    I've been running Vista x64 for the past nine months, and now with my K9A2 P--and have had no problems.  I mean, none.  Have not had any occasion to even consider reinstalling Vista x32. Vista x64 has been stable as a rock for me consistently since I installed it.  Would not consider going back to XP under any circumstances.
    There is a problem with Beard0's system that I would say boils down to device drivers or faulty hardware or some combination thereof.  His experience is dramatically different from my own, and the problems he's having are not indicative of my experience with Vista, whether x86 or x64.

    Hi All,
    Its a 1yr old pc i built myself and worked fine with a Hurcules Geforce card.
    Reloaded the Nvidia driver from the link above and AGP is now working on 4x. Do you have the Audio driver separatly as it the install stops responding whilst loading the audio part ?
    You were right about ATI not liking 8xAGP, it runs like a dead dog with that switched on.
    My PSU is gold but with two 120mm fans & is branded "Colours-IT" what brands or models do you recommend ?
    Many thanks for the help so-far, my pc finally plays "call of duty2"
    Regards
    Scott

  • AGP Slot Compatibility

    I own a K7T Turbo limited edition Mobo which is only version 2.0  4/2 X AGP, but I had just bought an FX5900 Ultra Graphics card b4 realising. As it is version 3.0 8/4/2X AGP, should I send it back for refund or is it possible to install and run it without causing it to explode?
    Also if it is not compatible, what motherboard would you recommend me to buy given that I have an Athalon 1800+ palomino chip & no current intentions to buy CPU?
    Thanks for any help

    It is possible to use it without any explosions.
    What good is a Racing car if you are not going to race in it?
    To get value for money you need a better mobo.

  • AGP Driver Problem with my ms-6585 and msi-ti4200 128 8x

    hi all !  Hope i'll get an reply cause this is bugging me since i have my board.  I'm having trouble with all the AGP drivers for the sis chipset.  Seems to stuck after the win2000 (sp3) loading.  Just before you enter you password.  the screen just lock up.  I can't do anything besides loading in safe mode.  When i uninstall the driver, everything returns to normal.
    here's my system :
    win2000 sp3
    pIV 2.53
    Mobo is a MSI 648 MAX sis (ms-6585)
    GFX is a msi ti-4200 128mo 8x
    512RAM DDR333
    PSupply is a 300w
    not sure of the bios version, but it's easy to get.  let me know if you need it.

    alathgr,
    Downoad the latest VIA (KT600) chipset Hyperion driver from http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1070
    Put the ATI card back in. Run the uninstall of the ATI card and run Driver Cleaner.
    Install the VIA chipset driver.
    Install the FX5700 card.
    Install the nvidia VGA driver, its this one http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.16_whql.html
