Graphics card broken or wrong bios setup?

I have a point of view gtx 460 768mb Graphics card and at the first time I started my computer it worked, but later that day it just stopped working and i switched to the intergrated graphics thinking that it just needed drivers to work again... But my computer is finished and it still doesn't work. :(
Does anyone now if this is a wrong bios setup or is my graphics card really broken. (The fan on the graphics card is still working.)

We cannot comment on non-MSI products. But the first thing to do is to test your system with a known working power supply.
It could be that your PSU has gone faulty by the sounds of what you are describing.

  • Graphics card broken/burnt out?

    Last night I was trying to render a video using Vectorworks (an architecture/design AutoCAD program) and it was taking a long time ot render each frame. The comp got hot, and the fan revved up, and the program froze about 2/3 of the way through (after about an hour and a half).
    Now, it looks like the window graphics have changed to resemble Tiger (I'm running 10.6.4). The windows are flat and beveled, and some have those horizontal lines from previous versions. The colors have changed from gradients to plain grey or off-white.
    Have I busted my graphics card? Is there any way to fix this? Otherwise, the computer seems to run fine.

    Have you tried rebooting the computer? In particular you might try booting into safe mode. You can also try the following:
    Reset the PRAM;
    Reset the PMU.

    And yes, it does sound like a graphics card issue. You might want to take it to the nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation/diagnosis.

  • Is my graphic card broken?

    Hi!
    Just returned to my computer (iMac G5), woke it up and found that menues and transparent areas in the OS looked weird:
    Screenshot: http://www.beakid.se/bugg1.png
    Tried to switch to 256 colors: http://www.beakid.se/256colors.png
    Have tried to restart, uninstall OS-skin-enhancers etc but it doesn't change.
    HOWEVER, the problem was solved when I booted in "safe mode". The 256 colors mode still looked weird, but it was all good in Millions colors.
    Anyone who can help me out?

    Hello everyone
    I have something quite similar with mine, well, even more frightening than beakid's screenshots actually.
    So I ran the Apple Hardware Test and I got the following error code:
    2NVD/3/4: 2103
    ...sounds like my video card is in trouble...
    but anyone knows what that means exactly? is it actualli broken or is there just something wrong with its memory?
    If it
    falls into THIS range of serial numbers, you are
    actually covered for two years on video and power
    supply issues.
    Unfortunately my iMac's serial number doesn't belong to said range, and Apple doesn't even seem to have ever heard of it. So I can't even use the chat-with-a-support-agent-and-get-an-answer-at-once thing.

  • How to disable Nvidia Graphics card to improve battery life in Bios?

    Hi I am trying to figure out how to disable my Nvidia Graphics Card with my Custom Bios. I don't want to tinker with my Bios settings without getting some advice. Thanks!!!! I have MSI GE70 2PE 012US laptop. My custom bios is this version E1759SSS.516.

    You can't really disable nvidia graphics as all laptops with dedicated card can't just use Intel HD only..

  • Multiple graphics cards on 2008 mac pro, won't work

    Hi, I have a 2008 Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon with 14 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. I have used a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Graphics card connected to 2 x BenQ E2400HD screens. Now, I want 4 screens so I bought a NVidia Geforce 8800 GT graphics card as I found these to be compatible with my setup on Ebay (only place I could find it). Got it in a brand new condition in a Apple graphics card box so should be all good. Put it in PCI-E slot 2. Now when I started my Mac after installing I could hear a loud fan noise (fan going on max speed) and tracked it to the new graphics card. When I open the system profiler it shows up as a display. The screen connected to the graphics card with a DVDI-cable does not show an image and the screen indicates that it does not have an input. Any ideas what's wrong here? Is my graphics card broken?

    More than likely you got wrong verion.
    1,1 and 2,1 Mac Pros are EFI32, and for Nvidia cards need proper version.
    If your machine is a 3,1 or later you need an EFI64 version.
    Contact the seller and clarify.
    If you install "ATY_Init" and are running 10.6.8 you will find the card will work once machine boots all the way.
    You could then flash the card into proper version if you were especially clever with things like that.
    But your seller should help you.
    You need to know "Model Identifier"

  • 5700 ultra graphics card

    I recently started to have a few problems with my card were the screen would go fuzzy for a few seconds and then clear up. Yesterday a started to defrag my HD and after 20 or so minutes the screen went fuzzy and stayed that way. I rebooted my computer several times and as soon as the computer went past the bios screen the sceen went again. I removed the card and reseated it as ive recently moved house and wondered if that could be the cause. On rebooting i dont even get the bios sceen popping up anly the bsod. The led at the rear indicates that its stopped on initialising the video interface.
    Has my graphics card broken or can there be any onther reason.
    Any help in this matter would be extremly appreciated.
    Sean

    I have tried another card which when i boot to my sata drives indicates that it wasn't shut down correctly and asks do i want to boot in safe mode etc. When selecting any option my computer reboots itself and i go through the same process of booting to safe mode. If i boot to my other HDD, i boot up without a problem and the video card works. So now i know my cards had it i just have to try and resolve the boot up problem.
    PS. when booting up on the non sata drive as my primary boot i still recognise my sata drives, thankfull for small mercies at least if i reformat i won't loose any infomation. Time to spend some money and get a decent card

  • Bios freezes on Hp IPISB-CH2 with new graphic card installed

    I own HP Pavilion Elite HPE H8 1010cs. Motherboard is HP IPISB-CH2. I bought new graphic card GAINWARD Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB together with 600W PSU Corsair CX600M. First I tried my new PSU with my old GPU nvidia 550Ti. It worked perfectly. But when I replaced old card with new GTX 970, bios freezes on the first power on window. Escape does not work. Should I return new graphic card, or is there still some hope in this?
    This question was solved.

    Hello @Tomas83,
    I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1010cs Desktop PC towork with your Gainward GeForce® GTX 970 Phantom 4GB Graphics Card. I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is the the break in the downward compatibility on the PCIe slots was broken at around the Gen 2.1 mark and you are trying to put a Gen 3.0 card in a Gen 1.0 slot. This in essence makes your computer incompatible with the graphics card you have chosen to use.  I am providing you an article on the overclock.net website titled The final answer to the controversial PCIe x16 version compatibility., where the author explains what I described and goes into how he made the determination. I would advise you review the article if you have any questions concerning the issue you are facing.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Qosmio G - Graphic card displays wrong screen

    My laptop froze to a blank screen. When rebooted it first displayed a black background with a light concentration of blue and white shaded blocks in strips vetically down the screen - like a tetris game.
    As it went through the loading of Windows in the background, the display turned to a green-yellow lines on black bakground verticlly down the screen - like the Matrix screen from the movie of the same name. The next display was black and white barcode blocks also vertically. It started a repair-recovery action which eventually failed and would not go any further. I went on in safe mode with the same displays happening. I disabled the NVidia GeForce GO 7600 graphics card to set it to the standard VGA.
    I can now log all the way onto and use it in the normall manner but visually it is the same as described above through the boot porcess, but adding blue rain like verticle lines down the screen - like Vista is behind the window of wet coloured glass. White pages such as a Notepad windoe has pink verticl lines down it but the text is readable but everso light in shading.
    Everything seems to work fine, browser, web surfing, email, but the display is shot. I connected external monitor but got same. I tried to check BIOS but is all displayed in coloured tetris squares making it hard to see what to do. I upgraded the BIOS from v3.40 to v3.90 successfully but no change to display. I ran diagnostics and Graphics card failed.
    I guess the graphics card is a goner and I need a new motherboard aye !

    I know this problem.

  • Bios Update/ Graphics Card

    Hello I am having problems finding the bios update (download) for my computer, I looked all around the "hp" website and I can't find any downloads for bios. I recently re-installed and updated my graphics card because it wouldn't run hardware acceleration or any games that I tryed to start up, so now everytime I start up my computer it freezes while booting, but once I go into safemode and disable my Nvidia GeForce 7350 Le my computer boots up fine but my graphics card won't run, I have searched up over the internet for this problem and what I came across is that I need a bios update for my updated graphics card to work properly. My current bios is {Phoenix Technologies, LTD 5.08, (12/ 8/2006)} what I am looking for is the download link for {P5LP-LE Motherboard BIOS Update, Version:5.23, (Aug 26, 2011)}. I have read that you can only get the update from the "hp" website, and I can't find it. If anyone could help I would gladly apprectiate it, also if you think i'm doing somthing wrong or taking the wrong steps into fixing this problem please let me know, Thank You!!

    When you click on download, you get 2 options namely.
    1. Use HP Download and Install Assistant (Recommended)
    2. Download only.
    When you click on the 2nd option, download only the file will start downloading.
    I tried from my end and it worked fine.
    Please try from a different web browser and check.

  • Z68A-G45 (G3): BIOS screen unreadable on PCI express graphics card

    I have a Z68A-G45 (G3) board with Intel Core i3-2320T processor.  BIOS version is E7750IMS v11.2.
    When entering the BIOS setup screen with DEL, everything is fine when the display is connected to the motherboard HDMI port.
    When I plug in my MSI Nvidia 8500GT-based PCI express video card and connect the display to its HDMI (or DVI) port, the BIOS screen is corrupt and almost unreadable.  I can see some characters and images -- the BIOS is there, I can see the temperature readout -- but navigation is very difficult.  This problem occurred with BIOS version 11.0; I just flashed to 11.2 and the problem persists.
    Here's what it looks like
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    In case anybody's curious it turns out the issue was specific to the card.  I tried a different PCIe card and the BIOS screen showed up fine.
    So finally I ditched my old reliable nVidia card and used the Sandy Bridge integrated graphics instead.  No problems so far.

  • Bios not recognising AGP graphics card?

    The first problem I experienced whilst building my new PC was that I could not enter the bios screen after installing the motherboard. I had a AGP card which I changed to another one without success. Lucky I had an old PCI graphics card and with this was able to see the bios on the display. This problem was repeated when I cleared the cmos jumper and also after I installed the latest bios (ver 1.30) which seams to indicate that the bios does not recognise my AGP graphics card. Can anyone confirm that the plug and play bios should see my nvidia Quadro FX3000 AGP card?
    My PC has MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, A64-FX55, Nvidia Quadro FX3000, 1GB OCZ DDR ram PC3200 Platinum Dual Channel kit Rev2, Matrox RTX-100, 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB SATA

    Bigblair,
    I get a continuous beep as you suggested. I checked the D-bracket diagnostic LED's and found this to mean early chipsept initialisation. I suspected the wrong ram configuration and from another post found that I had wrongly inserted the dual channel ram in slots 1 and 3 instaed of 1 and 2. By correcting this the plug and play bios can now automatically see my AGP card.
    Tiresmoke,
     I had tried turning the fast writes off but that didn't work. I needed to install a PCI graphics card (default if plug and play does not work) in order to set my bios to AGP.

  • How can I recover files from an iMac 2009 with a broken graphic card.

    My old iMac has a broken graphics card. Instead of getting it replaced or fixed I needed a computer quickly. I decided to get a MacPro. I'm able to boot up the old iMac and my MacPro can now read the files in the iMac. I have been transferring files from the old iMac to the MacPro via ethernet connection as the USB to USB was running slow. Is there a faster way to transfer the files between the two?
    Is there a way I can delete the files on the iMac when I'm done transferring the files I wanna keep? Right now it won't let me delete anything from the iMac hard drive especially the locked Files.
    Is there a way I can connect another monitor to the iMac if it has a broken graphics card? I'm assuming it's the graphics card cause I researched it on youtube and my iMac has the same screen they're describing when you have a graphics card issue.
    Thanks.

    What is the iMac model? Does it have Thunderbolt? Do you have Firewire? Can you connect them via any combination of Firewire & Thunderbolt?
    Thunderbolt & Firewire support something called 'target disk mode'
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    That will allow you to see the iMac as an 'external hard disk'. They are the fastest way to access the full disk.
    At the moment it sounds like you are using file sharing over ethernet - this is not the way to access everything on the iMac's disk & will result in you failing to copy data that you don't have read permission.
    You can also erase the iMacs HD over target disk mode if you really want to remove the OS & data.
    I don't believe it is possible to connect up two Macs via USB to USB so please clarify what you used. You may have been doing the right thing before you switched to ethernet.
    EDIT:
    Nevermind about the model, 2009 iMacs didn't have Thunderbolt so you will need to use Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt.  

  • Wrong graphics card twice in a row

    I ordered a T420S laptop a month ago and received it in around two weeks. When I turned it on, I found that they have sent me the wrong graphics card. My specifications were: 
    NVIDIA Quadro NVS4200M Optimus technology (1GB)
    Which is the enhanced graphics option but I received a Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000.
    When I asked for a replacement, they sent me one after more than an hour of calling and waiting and I have just received the new one today. But once again, it is the Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 and not the NVIDIA Quadro.
    Here is the screenshot I took of the new laptop I received today:
    ]http://i46.tinypic.com/x52phz.png
    What should I do? Call again and ask for a second replacement? (They might send the wrong one once again)
    Or just return it and find a new laptop to buy?
    Solved!

    Thank you all very much for your responses.
    It seems that I was wrong to assume the computers didn't have the graphics card I order but it was only not activated.
    I wish the Lenovo support had explained it to me earlier when I called...
    In the end, I have still decided to keep the replacement. The original had padding blocking a part of the fans on the upper left which isn't there on the second which I'm assuming to be how it was designed.
