GTX 570 M2D12D5 Freeze with White Squares...artifacting.

Card: MSI 570 GTX (N570GTX M2D12D5/OC)
Driver: Nvidia 270.61
Randomly when I play games, the screen freezes and a bunch of white squares paint the screen. Oddly it only occurs during games and not anytime else. I ran a stress test with Folding@Home, Attitool, and Furmark each for at least 1hr and I didn't notice any artifacting. However when I play a game, Brink, World of Tanks, etc for like 30mins - 50mins I get a freeze with checkerboard like white squares in a checkerboard pattern. Sadly the only fix is to restart so I can't get a screenshot. I just got and built this rig like 2 weeks ago and it has been running fine until now and I have no Idea what it is. Initially I thought it was overheating but with the tests the gpu is 46 c idle and 87 c max. Is it the card or possibly my ram?
Rest of my computer:
Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)

570 GTX lockup with white squares

Card: MSI 570 GTX (N570GTX M2D12D5/OC)
Driver: Nvidia 270.61
Bios updated to latest (KK1)
According to MSI Afterburner I am running the stock settings: 988mV core voltage, 786MHz Core/1572MHz Shader/2100MHz Memory.
I have never overclocked the card beyond the stock OC that the card comes with.
When playing the game Rift after about an hour, sometimes less little white squares show up all over both of my monitors and then within a few seconds the computer locks up.
MSI Kombustor seems to work ok, I haven't run it indefinitely but it makes it through the default benchmark. I tried another stress program called OCCT. I ran that for about 20 minutes with default shader complexity (0) and it produced 1 error and no crashes. I tried it again with shader complexity 4 (out of 8) and every minute or two it would signal an error then after about half an hour I got the same lockup with the white squares. So far I have only seen this lockup occur in Rift and with OCCT. I beat Portal 2 in single player and Coop and played several hours of Shogun 2 with no issues.
This is actually my second 570. My original one started producing artifacts constantly and games were completely unplayable. I RMA'ed it a week or two ago and now this card is presenting a different problem.
Rest of my computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
Intel Core i5 760 at stock (2.80GHz)
8GB DDR3 Ram
750 Watt Silverstone power supply
Any suggestions on what to try next? Is the card bad? I didn't see any references to this exact problem when I tried searching the MSI forums. Though I did run across another forum where someone was having the same problem. I don't think they found a solution though.
Snapped a picture of the frozen screen with white squares:

Good to hear
Maybe Svet can make you a custombios, so you can flash your cards bios, then you dont have to use Afterburner all the time.
Hope he reacts

Screen freeze with odd squares and occasional crashing

I've had my new IMac 27" (2.66 Ghz i5) for a couple of weeks and it's crashed more times than Windows Vista ever did (about 7 times so far). Every now and again, the screen freezes (sound keeps going) and strange squares appear. The only solution is to hard reboot using the on/off switch.
Today it had trouble starting up again, requiring 2 or 3 goes before coming back to life.
Help! Any suggestions/fixes? Is this a common problem?

Thanks for this. Just taken a look at the Console log and the following is listed at the time of the latest crash:

No idea what all of this means, but it sure doesn't sound too good. Can anyone shed any light?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairs.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode You can run Disk Utility from there.

Gtx 570 question

Hello, I just purchased a gtx 570 to run with my 3930k/asusx79pro board. However, I didn't realize I could spend $30 more to get double the onboard memory. Is it worth the hassle to exchange the card??? Is it worth it to spend $100 more for a 580??
Im using mostly PP and AE, editing 5d stuff.
thanks in advance

It depends on your '5D stuff'. If you have the habit to downrez your 5D material to around 1920 x 1080, there is no need to get the 2.5 GB version, but if you always use the 5D material in the original hi-rez resolution, it may make sense to change the card for the 2.5 GB version. You will not likely note any performance difference between the 570 and the 580.

GTX 570 plus Gaussian Blur etc Okay?

I'm about to upgrade my GTX 285 to either the GTX 570 or GTX 470.
I realize I will have to apply the "hack" to make either of those work properly. Before I pull the trigger I want to make sure I won't run into any unexpected problems. I'm doing mostly AVCHD files and use a lot of gaussian blur and masking.
I can't remember where I but there was something about there being a problem with gaussian blur and one of the NDVIDA drivers.
If anyone here can share their experiences running a GTX 570 or 470 with CS5, that would be awesome.
Side note: there's a fairly "cheap" 570 from EVGA on Amazon, at $349. Seems to be legit and have all the specs as expected, but I'm wondering why this one's so much "cheaper" than comparable 570s from other manufacturers. Thoughts?
Thanks!

The GTX 470 is on the list of cards that provide the CUDA acceleration features.
The official and up-to-date list of the cards that provide the CUDA processing features is here:

Some of the cards on that list are only enabled if you have the recent updates.

This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

Hello my name is James king.
and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.
(5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing throughout the night, to no avail.
(5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards. at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online. and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
(5/29/12) i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
(6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label.
(6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS
(6/12/12) after using the most round about route eg. it got to MSI.

(6/20/12) email from MSI, saying they shipped it and that [this] is the tracking number.
(6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
(6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup.
and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

Problem with Matrox Mini, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, Premiere 5.5.2 and After Effects CS5.5

Hello,
We have a couple video workstation PC's in our office.
Premiere and After Effects have been crashing lately with increasing frequency - about every two minutes now.
Here is the setup:
Hardware
Matrox Mini - Matrox Utility release 5.5.1
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 - Driver release 275.33
Intel Xeon X5660 2.8 GHz processors
24 GB Ram
Software
Adobe CS5.5, specifically...
After Effects 10.5.0.253
Premiere 5.5.2
Windows 7 64-bit
We have two 21" LCD monitors in dual display running from the computer, and the Matrox Mini outputs a preview signal to a 15" CRT.
The crashes occur when I have After Effects and Premiere open at the same time. I am editing in a Matrox 720p29.97 timeline in Premiere. I imported several compositions from AE into Premiere through Dynamic Link and am matching audio with the animations in comps. When I switch back to AE to make an edit in the comp, After Effects generates a crash warning and then gives me the opportunity to save the project under a new name. After saving, it closes down completely. The Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel in the system tray crashes during AE's crash, disabling the preview to the CRT from Premiere and AE. Since the Premiere sequence is a Matrox preset - in order to have output to the CRT - this freezes the timeline; the video and audio no longer play. When I save and then try to close Premiere, Premiere freezes and will not close without a force quit via the Task Manager.
In order to deal with this temporarily, I am editing in an AVCHD 720p30 sequence preset in Premiere, which doesn't send a preview feed to the CRT, obviously, since it's not a Matrox preset and the CRT is connected via the Matrox Mini. It's more than a minor inconvenience, since I use the CRT for color accuracy.
It is frustrating, since we did not have this problem until the recent CS5.5.2 update. We have tried changing drivers for the GTX 570 and changing the Matrox utility software to other versions, but no luck.
Is there a combination of GTX 570 drivers, Matrox software releases, and AE/Premiere settings that will make this work? I know there are "Known Issue" posts with Nvidia cards on Matrox's website, which include the GTX 570, but, again, this problem started with the Adobe CS5.5.2 update.
Any help here would be great, and I am willing to provide more information about the system and our crashes if it helps find a solution for the community, as I know this is not an isolated problem after reading Nvidia's, Matrox's, and Adobe's forums. I just can't find a hollistic solution on any of the individual manufacturer's forums.
Thank You.
Jordan

I've been running with Matrox for years, starting with the Axio LE. I do 75% broadcast work and find that the Matrox works very well with my kind of workflow. Monitoring is critical and since we have to deal with 3rd. party solutions, Matrox was my pick dating way back to 2006. Sure I've had frustrations with it, but I've made far more money off Matrox than frustration.
   Here's my nearly crash-free setup:
Gigabyte GZ-X58A-OC moboard
Intel 990X (only overclocking to 4.0)
24Gb of Kingston HyperX Ram
GTX580 Graphics Card
Matrox MXO2-LE w/Max
Crucial 240Gb Sata III drive (the one that has a nearly perfect score on Newegg's site)
2 x 2Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
2 x 1Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
Win 7 Ultimatte (it's a high-end version of Windows that's great for keying!)
CS5.5 Suite
Boris Red 5
Boris Continuum Complete 8
Trapcode Shine, Form, 3d Stroke, Starglow, and Particular
Optical Flares by Video CoPilot
   The reason I list all of that software, is that it all seems to get along together, including with Matrox! So, I can't say I highly endorse Matrox because I've never tried Black Magic or running an external monitor off of my video card.
    I use After Effects with all sorts of plug ins and rarely have crashes. If I put in a long day I'll have the usual crashes here and there (mainly with PremierePro), but nothing that has required evan a soft reboot of the computer.
   My frustration with Matrox is mainly the delay that often comes with Adobe coming out with a new release and Matrox taking 2 or 3 months to catch up, though when Adobe went from 5 to 5.5, there was no delay at all.
   I think that a lot of the people who trash Matrox probably haven't used a Matrox product in years. But before you listen to me, I must confess that I was an early adopter (and advocate) of SSDs and even today, many people on this forum think they're still a waste of money!
   I'll close by simply saying that I've not left Matrox after 5+ years, but keep in mind I haven't had the bad experiences that so many others seem to have had, but again, perhaps they had those bad experiences long ago.

N650-1GD5/OCV1 freeze with artifacts and crash

Good morning everyone
First of all, I will start to present the configuration of my computer
PSU: Sirtec High Power 500W Bronze, PFC Active
MB: MSI 970A-G43 (bought 2 weeks ago)
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 240 (2.8 GHz) - Running stock with AMD Cooler since i bought it, around 35-43 C operating
temperature
RAM: KingMax 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz (1 x 4GB Module)
VGA: N650-1GD5/OCV1 (MSI GeForce GTX 650, running with stock cooler and stock frequency, i have never oc on it)
HDD1: WD 640GB Caviar Black Edition, SATA2 32MB Cache
HDD2: WD 500 GB Caviar Blue, SATA2, 16MB Cache
DVD Writer 1: LG GH22NS50
DVD Writer 2: Optiarc AD-7280S
Card Reader 3.5"
I'm an very very casual gamer, i play games once or twice a week; in the last period i didn't played games for one month; i've used my pc for mail, office, watching movies, messenger, facebook, web browsing, hdd data recovery, programming php. Before upgrading to 970A-G43, i had the same configuration - except MB and RAM (i used for 4 years K9A2GM V3 with 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 KingMax and the actually N650-1GD5/OCV1; played games with no problems).
After the upgrade, i installed OS Windows XP SP3 with clean install, AHCI Mode, latest drivers - no problems 'till there. I have installed latest version of DirectX 9.0c and some games: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. All with same problem: pc freezes with artifacts and then freeze - sometimes after 3-4 minutes of playing, othertimes after 10-15 minutes.
I've checked the RAM with MemTest86 for one night, no errors. I've checked the CPU and GPU Temperature, all stable (CPU around 40, GPU around 70 under full load). I've stressed up the system with Prime95 and Furmark latest version running at the same time - all stable (Tested for 30 minutes, CPU around 43 C, GPU around 85 C - no freeze, no crash).I installed 3D Mark 06, i ran it and it freezes in-time of first test or after it.
VGA driver was 320.49 WHQL initially, downloaded from nvidia website. I uninstalled it, cleaned my OS with Driver Sweeper, installed latest version from MSI Website (MSI Graphics Driver 306.81 ). Both drivers, same problems.
I'm pretty sure that there is no problem with PSU or MB's VRM (VRM supports 125W TDP, CPU is running 65W. My old boad K9A2GM V3 has only 65W and there were no problem). If there were problems, the system would crash in prime 95 and furmark running at the same time, i think.
I didn't tested yet my VGA on other PC, neither another VGA in my PC.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
P.S.: In BIOS, all is set on AUTO - except DDR Speed - Manually set to 1333 MHZ with auto timings.
C1E Enabled, Cool and Quiet Activated, EUP 2013 Enabled.
I have flashed MB to latest BIOS, v10.3; same problem
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards!

VGA Card is dead. Probably at least one memory chip died or has errors on it. Testet on another PC and results are same, in 3D Mark and Crysis 3 too.
I sent the card to warranty services.
Problem is solved.
Thanks a lot to all of you who read my post.

I've had this problem since I first built this PC towards the end of March of this year. Every time I try to play games with Direct X11 enabled I can only play for about 5 minutes before I get some repeating green spots on my screen and either the program crashes to desktop or the PC just locks up. The games that I have played on all vary, Shogun 2: Total War, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, RIFT, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. When I disable DX11 everything runs smoothly and nothing happens. Only when DX11 is enabled.
Here is a picture of what happens http://i.imgur.com/dee0a.jpg
I have RMA cards twice, sent it back to newegg once. It seems to be a problem with this line of cards. No matter what drivers I update, or rollback, or change, nothing seems to fix this problem.
Has anyone had similar problems, or is my only option to pretty much beg Newegg to take it back long after the refund policy and get a new card?

Quote from: Limond on 28-August-11, 10:19:20
I have been attempting to do that. I've followed the instructions for making the USB bootable. But when ever I go to boot, it just sits at the Windows 98 screen (30 minutes was the longest I waited)
I have already used the LiveUpdate5 from MSI, it says that all my BIOS are fully up to date.
hold "shift" key while booting from the USB drive

MSI GTX 570 (N570GTX-M2D12D5) - Display driver stopped responding

Problem:
Upon watching videos and playing games, artifacts begin to show and green blotches sometimes appear. After a couple seconds the video slows down and crawls to a stop. After another couple seconds the screen goes blank, then after 2-3 seconds the video comes back and I get a balloon notification, "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
Attempted Fixes:
-Updated Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS to the latest revision (F7, need to try F8a beta)
-Updated Video Card BIOS to latest revision (KJ1)
-Installed MSI's latest video card driver (285.62)
-Installed NVIDIA's latest video card driver (285.62 WHQL)
-Installed NVIDIA's latest beta video card driver (295.51 beta)
-Removed all but essential hardware (booted using only CPU/Memory/Mainboard/SSD+HDD/Video Card)
-Tested other graphics cards (9800GX2 worked fine, very similar power requirements as GTX 570)
-Verified PSU's requirements Seasonic X650 650-Watt PSU (High-efficiency, 54A on +12V)
--Minimum 550W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 38A)
-No overclocking
-Increased northbridge voltage
-Increased GPU voltage
-RMA'd my first GPU, got my 2nd GPU and it too has the same problem.
-Increased timeout per Microsoft's KB article:
--http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946
-Clean install of Windows 7 64-bit SP1
I think it's incompatible with Gigabyte motherboards... I cannot find any other logical connection, even after updating both BIOS (Video & Mainboard)
Should I RMA? Can MSI refund me? I'm sick of this problem and I'm not convinced an RMA will fix it.
My specs:
http://syprus.com/desktoppc/

is the card OC edition, if yes have you tried to remove the factory OC?

do you use BIOS defaults settings? [no any OC]

MSI GTX 570 OC - Received some dodgy card with wrong cooler/pcb?

So received my GTX 570 OC today but when i opened the box was suprised to see that box didnt really contain what i ordered for. Very first i thought i just got GTX480 by mistake instead of 570, but then started to look more closely and tthe sticker on the card says 570. Then looked back of the card and cooler fitting looks pretty dodby, empty screw holes + some weird foam part on the back of the pcb. Pcb also seems to be MSI:s own design which is quite big problem for me as planned to build custom watercool loop for summer so when this is non ref desing any of the 570 waterblock most likely wont fit to it :(
This is the card i ordered : http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/N570GTX-M2D12D5-OC.html
And this is what i received :

I did instal the card to comp to see i it even have the right specks and seems so. But the cooler is really quite loud even at idle and at load it sounds like vacuumcleaner while card still running pretty hot.

You did read the following that is under the images correct?
The product picture may differ from the actual product. Only for your reference.
The specifications may differ from areas. Please check with your local dealers.
It seems the heatpipes are a better cooler. Can you post an image of the front of the card?
Quote from: Mike on 27-February-11, 23:50:26
It seems the heatpipes are a better cooler.
nope its not, its far worse. its older nvidia's thermal design used on 480 series..
The newest nvidia's thermal design also include the innovative Vapour Chamber:
[the older nvidia thermal design from prevision generation don't have such]
- Innovative thermal design: Vapour Chamber (Quieter than previous generation)
The newest Nvidia's design is much more effective than the older one
Quote from: Buckster on 28-February-11, 01:44:24
agreed - re the text in blue
but why ? I thought the GTX480 cooler was less efficient than the new one on the 570/580 ? noisier and a lot hotter
so why use it on the new 570 ? to reduce cost ?
still rather annoyed I didn't spot it
unless you buy what you know to be a specialist cooled version, like the Twin-Frozr, Phantom, Twin fan versions etc etc - you'd be pretty right in expecting a stock reference cooler
not a last gen cooler :(

but why ? I thought the GTX480 cooler was less efficient than the new one on the 570/580 ? noisier and a lot hotter
Yes, that's right

so why have MSI used it on the new 570 ? to reduce cost ?
unless you buy what you know to be a specialist cooled version, like the Twin-Frozr, Phantom, Twin fan versions etc etc - you'd be pretty right in expecting a stock reference cooler

We don't known, and we can guess only. But i very doubt that's cost related.
There are only very few MSI's units of 570 that are using this older cooler..
99.99% of MSI's 570, [or 580] [which are using Nvidia's coolers] are using the newest Nvidia's thermal design.
Looks like the some of the very 1st revisions of the 570 was shipped with this old cooler.
[Guesses: due an mistake or maybe newest design was N/A yet or was out of stock at this time]

GTX 570 OC Twin Frozr II Artifacts started appearing today?

Hi.
So today, I was tweaking a config file for Rage as everyone knows that game has pathetic graphic options, and I noticed I started getting some weird visual artifacts. I know this game hasn't had the smoothest launch so I thought maybe it was only the game. Now all my games are doing it. I've just tested it League of Legends and Hard Reset and the same thing is happening. These games were working perfect yesterday (And all week).
I was running the new Nvidia 285.38 beta drivers, so I thought maybe it was a driver issue so I back-rolled to the 280.26 drivers and still the same thing. I know the latter driver is stable as I was using it fine before I upgraded to the beta drivers.
I've attached screenshots below on what I am experiencing.

My system specs are:
Windows 7 Ultimate
i5 2500k @ stock
Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 Motherboard
GTX 570 OC Twin Frozr II @ stock
8GB DDR3 RAM
Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? My system is stable, all drivers/bios/firmware etc are up to date. I don't OC anything. My GPU temp's are fine sitting on 36 degrees atm and usually 60ish in-game. The only thing I've done different recently was I left my computer on overnight to download today ( I rarely ever do this).
Oh and I have to mention, this is beyond frustrating. I just had my first Twin Frozr II replaced with this one on Tuesday because of a faulty fan, and now this one isn't looking too good either. I'm seriously not going to be happy if I have to wait 2 weeks again to replace this card, considering I don't have a spare card to use and my motherboard doesn't have onboard video which will render my PC unusable again for 2 weeks if this card is faulty (Possible FORCING me to buy another GPU to use in the mean time). I can't say I'm too impressed with MSI's quality control so far (Unless I just have some serious bad luck) and this might have turned me off their products for good.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, flashing to the latest VBIOS can improve VGA stability is you have stability issues.
You can read more about it at: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/msi-nvidia-graphics-cards-from-570-580-series-read-here
What utility do I need to flash the VBIOS? And how do I even check what VBIOS I have? Maybe I have the latest version already.
It says
"Users who download BIOS from here (not using Live Update) should use the flash utility included in the downloaded compressed file when doing the BIOS update. To avoid BIOS update failure, please do not use older versions of the update utility or utilities not provided by MSI."
But there is no utility included in NV225MS.222, just the actual NV225MS.222 file?
My computer was also doing some weird stuff last night. First I had my bios tell me that my system recovered from a boot failure due to overclock settings etc, which is strange because because I don't overclock. The symptoms I'm having (Artifacts in games) is the kind of thing you usually get from a bad overclock. I wonder if MSY replaced my GPU with a refurbished model or something?
Then it got stuck in an endless restart cycle (Which now makes me think my power supply is messing up or something). I left my computer off overnight and it seemed to boot up his morning. I've reset my bios to default settings, uninstalled the previous nvidia drivers, ran driver sweeper in safe mode and installed the latest MSY drivers and it seems to be running ok now. Though, I haven't checked to see if I get any artifacts yet with the MSY Nvidia 266.77 Driver. I'll report back and see if I do.

I reinstalled my windows xp now the firefox icon on my desktop is now a white square with the firefox inside how do I fix it

Did you try to change that icon in the Properties via the right-click context menu?

Small white square with a plus sign in it right in the middle of page!

I am ready to print my document, I used a template to create a great document...the only problem is that right in the middle is a tiny white square box with a plus sign in it, and I can't figure out how to make it go away! Please help me!!!

Nevermind. I finally figured it out. I had text boxes overlapping. Ugh. Time to take a break!
