GTX 970 Causes APP 8.1 Instability

Good news: Upgrading from a GTS 450 to the GTX 970 allowed to view smooth playback on my 6k Dragon footage on the APP timeline.
Bad news: APP seems to want to crash a lot now, and my system flickers sometimes then goes to black and I have to cold reboot.
Did I get a bad card? Running the very latest vid drivers.
System on Win 8.1
i7 3770 3.9Ghz
32 GB DD3 RAM
Asrock MB
Disk system ~800 MB/s Sequential Read on separate SSD and SATA RAID 0 arrays

The problem seems to happen even in a new project with a basic time-lapse JPEG sequence. APP crashes. Also Photoshop crashes when opening DNGs in PS from LR. This didn't happen with my previous card.
Had downloaded the latest drivers. Even re-installed them and chose the "clean all previous installations" option.
Take the card back? Maybe this is a good excuse to get the 980 anyway. Only problem is everyone seems to be sold out of 970s and 980s, the only available was the 970 in a EVGA flavor that was reviewed poorly relative to other vendor implementations.

PSWATCHSRV does not auto-restart causing app server domain instability

Current environment:
- Solaris 10
- Oracle 10.2.0.4
- PS HRCS 9.0
- PTools 8.49.19
- Weblogic 9.2
- Tuxedo 9.1
We have two PIA web sites that reside on the same PIA web domain. They each interact with a different app server domain residing on csapp81. One is assigned a jolt listening port of 9060 (CS90SBX) and the other uses 9030 (CS90UNT). Recently, after patching the PTools to 8.49.19, we discovered that occasionally the PSWATCHSRV in one of the app server domains will shut down and not restart. The domain continues to run without the WATCHSRV but then erratic behavior in the PIA is observed:
- Users attempting to access worklists are logged off
- Reports stop posting from PSNT and PSUNX
- Users attempting to navigate to reports already posted are logged off with "An Error Has Occurred" message
- Some users are unable to log in and see a message in red on the signon page: bea.jolt.ServiceException
Re-booting the app server domain will solve the problem temporarily until the PSWATCHSRV shuts down again. We have noticed that in the app server that is not affected, the PSWATCHSRV restarts one second after shutting down whereas in the affected domain it never auto-restarts. We have tried re-building the web server and app server domains but this does not affect the problem. There appears to be no difference between the two domains. In fact a couple of weeks earlier SBX was working fine and UNT was affected. Now it's the exact opposite and we have another environment (CFG) showing the same behavior.
The proof the problem exists:
Verified the issue by the application server log file <APPSRV_0602_SBX.LOG>, which displays that PSWATCHSRV has been shutdown and never restarted:
PSAPPSRV.11610 (3) [06/02/09 12:48:40 GetCertificate](3) Returning context.

My question is: Has anyone else ever seen this behavior in an 8.49.19 environment? If so, how was it resolved?
We are now conducting UAT and the occasional disruption of having to restart the app server just so people can login to the system is not making a good impression on the customer.
We have an open SR ticket with Support but as yet they have not been able to help us...

Looks like Tuxedo is not doing he's job. You should double check the Tuxedo version and rolling patch installed.
And also the configuration of AppServer, section "PSWATCHSRV", if the interval is set to 0, then it is disabled.
Moreover, from your output it is difficult to understand what's going wrong.

GTX 970 MSI Gaming App

Hello,
I installed GTX 970 Gaming and reinstalled Windows 8.1. Driver is from MSI website - 344.16.
When I start MSI Gaming App it says The platform does not support this application.
I read other threads but I couldn't find solution.

The Problem is that the Version from Online Produkt Page(1.0.0.21 or 2.0.0.21) is outdated and does not support the GTX970/980.
You have to install GAMINGAPP-Utility from included CD. Must be Version 3.0.0.5.

[GTX 970 4G] Gaming APP wants to reboot

Ok so I updated my gaming app today (got the dvd version previously) and since I can't change my settings without rebooting.
I really liked the previous version with silent mode and OC mode. It's that simple and I don't want to use afterburner.
Is there a solution to change without reboot or to rollback to a previous version?
And it seems that even in OC mode the clock seems to be stuck in 899mhz
Got
GTX 970 4G
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
I7-4770k

One question, if I don't install the Gaming App, my GTX 970 Gaming 4G at which core clock will run?
1140MHz Core (Boost Clock:1279MHz) (OC Mode)
1114MHz Core (Boost Clock:1253MHz) (Gaming Mode)
1051MHz Core (Boost Clock:1178MHz) (Silent Mode)

GTX 970 4G Gaming not underclocking in idle

So, I suddenly got this little issue after trying to to play few f2p mmos, which totally made my computer go crazy when launched, few days ago.
Basically, the gpu won't go under 899Mhz, down to 135Mhz, anymore.
Of course have rebooted, tried reinstalling MSI Gaming App and the NVidia drivers.
Is there some power-saving options somewhere which may have gotten resetted, and which affect the underclocking?

Quote from: TZBC on 05-March-15, 07:55:31
What f2p mmos games you tried to play?
Check if any files related to the f2p mmos remains in your system and delete it.
Try clear CMOS and reseat your GTX 970 4G Gaming.
Gonna try to take out and reseat the card. Probably won't try the CMOS clearing. I don't really like to do it except in total necessity.
And this isn't one. The card still stays cool enough after all (under 60celsius).
Also, cleaned the directories and registry keys so those games shouldn't have anything left anymore.
Quote from: chris on 05-March-15, 10:06:17
Do you have multiple monitors?
I do have multiple monitors (2 + tv) but that hasn't mattered before. It was only after the games caused the whole system become unstable. (really old games, from 2006-2008).
They are called ASDA Story 2 and Drift City.
Especially the ASDA 2 was horrible. It made the whole Windows freeze from time to time.
Which, I guess may have been caused by the anti-hack they have: nProtect's GameGuard. It most likely completely blocked several system programs. Including the NVidia driver.
The anti-hack program is gone, but I guess after effects still apply until the card is taken out/system is reinstalled.

SLI GTX 970 Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Error

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with driver crashes and was hoping someone on here would be able to help. The error I am getting is: Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
My PC specs are:
Windows 8.1 Pro
i7 4770k with Corsair H100i
2x 8GB HyperX RAM
Asus Maximus VII Ranger Mobo
2x MSI GTX 970's
750w Superflower Leadex PSU
I've noticed that the error usually happens while the cards are cooling down after playing a game, although it has been known to occasionally happen while gaming. I am have MSI Afterburner running and have noticed that the GPU usage spikes up to 100% then the power usage drops completely just before the crash.
This problem has persisted through 3 clean OS installs so I do not believe it is a driver issue.
My initial thoughts were that the PSU could be insufficient, but after some reading online my system really shouldn't draw anywhere near 750w. What do you think? I am not totally clued up on PSU's, so not sure if my wiring could also be causing the issue - here's a pic:
The cards use a single cable that joins both cards for both 8-pins, then two other power cables for the 6-pin. Would this be a problem?
It's also worth noting that the issue doesn't seem to occur when SLI is disabled. I never had any problems with the original card prior to adding a second card though so I do not think it needs RMA'ing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: Svet on 08-June-15, 17:36:36
oki remove the second card[your old one] and test the newest card only
I will try this tomorrow, thanks.
A bit more info, it crashes with SLI disabled. Just found out tonight for definite.
Here is a screenshot of what MSI Afterburner shows when it crashes.

MOVED: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G + MSI Z87-G45 incompatible? Noise on speakers

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184068.0

Used hardware
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (+ RMA'ed new one)
Gigabyte 670 GTX Windforce
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard (with Intel i7-4770K, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, and Crucial M500 - 480GB SSD)
Asus P5N32-E with Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 (Going to test this)
SoundBlaster-Z Audio card
Roccat Kave 5.1 Gaming Headphones (4x 3.5 mm jacks: Front, Rear, Center&bass, Microphone + USB amp/volume control)
Corsair B600 (600W) PSU (secondary)
Corsair RM750 (750W) PSU (Primary)
To summarize
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + Gigabyte GTX 670 + Roccat Kave = really faint noise only when scrolling in browser, in game not heard
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave = in game loud and heavy noise + screech when scrolling in browser
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game moderate to heavy noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game weak to moderate noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave with Mic disconnected = Almost no noise, ifg you listen for it, really faint background noise in game. But well within my acceptable limits.
Tomorrow I'll try:
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave without mic
Corsair RM750 + Asus P5N32-E (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave with mic
I failed to mention, that the first thing I did was to remove my HD Audio Front panel connector off its header.
So I did some more searches. The noise has something to do with the capacitors on (presumably) the video card. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS. So the interference must be coming from the video card, as this is the last thing added and probably the main cause.
Both the motherboard & the SoundBlaster-Z pick up the EMI/RF interference. (I am disappointed by the SoundBlaster about this).
I'll test with the older motherboard and see how I proceed from there.

MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB GAMING

So I recently bought the GTX 970 OC with 1279 MHz clock speed. However, several times lately when I'm gaming I notice poor performance, so I loaded up some hardware monitoring to see what was up with that. CPU, RAM and disk looks fine, however my GPU clock speed is stuck at idle speed, 540Mhz!! During gaming! What is up with that? I have all drivers up-to-date.

Quote
Side note: Why does the Gaming app say CPU clock 390 Mhz, when it is 3900 Mhz?
Possibly false reading. Try latest version: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254621.msg1463577#msg1463577

GTX 970 OC

Hi guys i just got this card recently, and first off the Gaming app will not load, pops up icon in task bar then vanishes, but leaves the service running. But to my understanding the card is supposed to be default on the gaming mode and then can use app to OC or go silent, but my cpu-z says i'm half the mem clock and around half the Core which i'm guessing is silent settings? can someone point me in right direction

Oh just to add this is the GTX 970 4GD5T OC, S/N 602-v316-020b1501000386
Your card does not the support the Gaming APP as it is no Gaming series vga. In case of GTX 970 this means the GTX 970 GAMING 4G. GTX 970 4GD5T OC is obviously no Gaming card and therefor just to be tweaked via Afterburner. It does also not offer various profiles (Silent, Gaming, OC) like a Gaming series vga but just one profile (Boost Clock / Base Clock 1241 MHz / 1102 MHz).
However the card like all GTX 9xx is using dynamic power saving and will clock down without load. The full clockrate is only applied under load. Therefor there is no issue if clockrates are as marketed under load. Run a 3d game and check with Afterburner OSD: >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<

GTX 970 4G gaming issues

Hey all,
I just picked this awesome card up yesterday and figured to give it a try in BF4. I made sure all the drivers were updated with Nvidia Experience and that everything was set to go. I set all the graphics settings in the game to ultra and began to play. Every 5-15 seconds my fps goes from roughly 80-60 down to 0, it freezes my screen for about a second then the fps jumps back up. It will do that or have a decrease of 20-40 fps then it'll go back up. I wasn't sure what was causing it, so I lowered my settings to "Low" just to see what it would do. I still get a stuttering, but not a total freeze. When it's not doing this it performs beyond my wildest dreams.
What could be causing this and what could I try to fix it?
Here's a link to my rom: hxxps://www.dropbox.com/sh/segf4dbqkd1ix6t/AABM8sRxkB3j-B-h0pGgqL-ra?dl=0
Serial number: 602-V316-09SB1410040906
System specs: Intel i7-3770 (OC'd to 4.1ghz)
Ram: 8gb 1886mhz
HD: 500gb Black WD
Cooling: Corsair H100i
Display: Viewsonic IPS display
Graphics: MSI GTX-970 4G

I see you're running GSkills.
Run Memtest and see if it reports any issues.
Also try playing game(s) without any OC (CPU+RAM). CPU back to stock clocks, RAM down to 1600MHz. Might be helpful to clear CMOS: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Note down your OC settings so you don't have to "dig" for these again after setting BIOS back to defaults.
Are you able to test different PSU?
Could you also try running some benchmark?
What are the temps of the GPU and CPU under load?
What resolution are you running at, and what video cable do you use?
And I suggest you try updating your BIOS to the latest BETA if above doesn't help:

GTX 970 Problems

Hello, I am having a problem with the GTX 970.
Before you read this I would like to say I did try to put "prefer maximum performance" in NVIDIA control panel yet it still wants to conserve that power...
To save even more time reading this,
SUMMARY:I would like to know if there is some type of fix to totally disable nvidias power saving abilities.
Well, previously I owned a MSI R9 270X. It was a great card did what I wanted it to do.. and never cried to hard when I pushed it..
Now I bought a GTX 970 to replace it. Those games that ran smooth with the 270X, stutters with the GTX 970.
Obviously I went to investigate why this happend. It is because the GTX 970 has bad power management (or nvidia thinks it was good, but really hurts the card and should have a kill switch for it )
The stutters are caused when GPU load is high, then the GPU load falls to idle levels quickly due to a change in scene (A DIGITAL SIGNAL TYPE OF FALL SERIOUSLY?) or a low graphics intensive area, then at that low load, the game throws a l lot of tasks at it and the card seems to be caught off guard by the sudden jump in tasks it needs to perform causing the stuttering as it tries to throw itself back up to perform well again.
The 270X does not ( or at least this is what I think. I could be wrong) have any stutters because it assesses that the highest load that the game will be and should be the load that it stays at at all times (OR Power Consumption which ever one controls all)...
Turn down for what???
Nvidia (power efficiency at the cost of performance)
AMD (stays turned up)
JJ WATT (Stays turned up)
Thanks for the help guys..

what is your driver and vbios version ?
Try update to the latest one?
You could try to use afterburner, and set "Force constant voltage".
but it may disable the self protecting function of the card, you have to doing this at your own risk.

GTX 970 Gaming no error reboots

Bought a new GTX 970 Gaming edition and seem to be plagued by constant reboots with it. Most of them occur within 30 seconds after logging into windows, though once or twice it has made it a minute or two before rebooting. Hasn't once stayed up long enough to even get into a game. This only occurs after installing the nvidia drivers (card works fine as long as its just running with standard VGA).
System Specs
i7 2600k
Gigabyte z68ap-d3 v.1 BIOS version F8 (latest available)
16 gigs of RAM (Kingston)
700 Watt OCZ PSU (2 SSD, 2 standard hard drives and a DVD Burner)
Previous Graphics card with no issues MSI ATI 6950. Have tried different driver versions (latest from nvidia, CD that came with the GPU, and one back from .22 I believe) and all of them had the same issue. Last thing I tried was a clean reinstall of Windows and even with just the base drivers installed the issue came back the second I installed the nvidia drivers.
Any suggestions? Right now I'm thinking my only options are either RMA or try upgrading the motherboard... but from other posts I've read it seems like this board should be fine even though it only supports PCIE 2.0.
Oh and event viewer isn't showing any GPU specific errors, other than other various built in windows services that seem to not be loading correctly at boot after installing the nvidia drivers.

Update...
New System Specs (case and CD drive aside, everything has been replaced since I originally dropped this new card in)
Windows 7 Pro x64
Intel 4790k (Stock Speeds)
Asus Hero VII (BIOS 2012, Latest from October)
MSI GTX 970 Gaming (Factory OC)
4x4GB Kingston HyperX Genesis RAM (was all I had on hand, but it new in the box and Memtest finds no errors)
Corsair RM850 PSU
Tried every Nvidia driver from .11 through the new beta of .80 and I'm still getting random crashes. Temperatures are all fine (never seen the GPU go over 63 degrees)
With the exception of once while changing zones, every single crash has occurred either from just sitting at the desktop or web browsing (crashed 4 times trying to type this post...) In fact, when playing Planetside 2 or trying to run stress tests on the machine (3dMark, Passmark etc) it seems more stable than just clicking around inside the OS. Played for 6 hours with another 2 spent web browsing last night and thought that the .80 drivers had finally solved the issue, until I turned on my computer this morning and it rebooted again before I could even open my browser. I'm pretty much down to an RMA at this point unless anyone has a suggestion. Oh at least I'm getting a consistent error when it crashes now.

MSI GTX 970 4G crashing

I dropped £300 on a new 970 4G yesterday and so far I have crashed three times with event viewer showing "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered". The crashes occurred in Dragon Age Inquisition, Heroes of the Storm and Grim Dawn. Dragon Age also crashed to desktop once as soon as I launched it. I have a fairly modest overclock at +230/+300 and my temps are under 60c while under load and I pass Heaven with no problems at all on extreme settings. I was using 347.09 but have swapped back to 344.80 as I hear they're less buggy.
Any help or thoughts would be great, I was so happy with the card until I started getting these driver crashes.
Specs:
i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz
GTX 970 @ +230/+300/110% limit
8GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
Crucial M4 SSD
Creative XFI Xtreme Gamer
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
Windows 7 64
Everything updated/latest
I didn't get these driver crashes with my GTX 680. I did a clean install using DDU when I got my 970.

Quote from: Nichrome on 30-December-14, 20:53:02
Make sure you also have latest motherboard BIOS.
And you should note of that OC on most graphics cards is kind of gambling: one can OC pretty well and up to 20%, other will crash already with 5% OC. So if it doesn't crash with stock clocks then it's completely fine and "as promised". Else you could try Gaming App and swtich to OC mode.
Right well I didn't crash within 30 minutes of Grim Dawn, whereas before it was under 5 minutes so I think we can assume it's the overclock, I'm going to download Furmark and put the card through it's passes, apparently Heaven wasn't enough to push the card to crashing with the high overclock but I'm sure Furmark will.
EDIT: Furmark isn't crashing at my previous OC settings which is weird, I have never had a card that's stable in Furmark but not games.
