[HELP] MSI Radeon R9 270X BLACK SCREEN during driver installation

Hello,
I own the R9 270X, which is on my PCI-E x16 slot, motherboard: Gigabyte ga-b85m-d3h.
When I try to install drivers for my card (those that come from AMD site, those from MSI site or those on the CD attached with card) my screen turns black in the middle of installation.
The monitor works, but there is just black screen displayed. When I restart it stays black after the Windows logo or it crashes during the usage. When it crashes it displays a solid color screen with some vertical stripes. Usually somewhere after 15 minutes from start.
My motherboard BIOS is up to date.
Card has worked great for 2 hours after fresh installation of Windows but then the problems i mentioned came back. I was even able to play games on high settings, but then the solid-color-crash occured again.
Is my card faulty and should I return it?
Specs:
Intel Core i5-4440
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H Intel B85 LGA 1150 mATX
Power: Corsair VS 450W ATX 120mm
Windows 8.1 64, but tested also on Windows 7 64 installed on my computer.

I'm back on my computer (where I can't install propper drivers), haven't checked with afterburner.
Two scenarios:
1. The screen started to flick/jump when we wanted to run testing game (Call Of Duty 4) on his computer, we didn't even get pass the starting window, then when we returned to Windows the flickering and jumping didn't stop. Then it was steady for a 5 second, and again flickering and jumping.
2. When I first received my newly assembled computer after fresh Windows installation I was able to play Assassins’ Creed Black Flag for about 15 minutes, then the flickering/jumping occur. Then after many trials (including removing and trying different drivers, setting up fresh windows and so on -remember, I wasn't able to even install the drivers after that) I was able to again install drivers and play for like 2 hours. Then - same as earlier problem occur.
So in conclusion, I've manage to install my drivers two times. But then the "solid color and stripes" or "jumping and flickering" problem occurred after few minutes of computer usage.
One more thing. On my computer even at low resolution the screen had some glitches (stripes here, dots there), on my friend's computer, there were no glitches at first. The flickering-and-jumping or solid-color-and-stripes problem occurs only on resolution HIGHER than 800x600.

MSI Radeon R9 270X Hawk - Screen corruption

Hello,
I dearly ask for your help, I have an issue with my MSI HAWK Radeon R9 270X, after using my computer for a while the screen on the primary/secondary monitor will become unreadable(see the first link), If I switch the monitor off via Catalyst Control Center the screen corruption will appear onto the other monitor. Maybe the newer BIOS would help, I have the same issue with another MSI HAWK R9 270X. I didn't have any problems with my former video cards (Geforce GTS 250, GTS450, Radeon 6850 and Radeon 7850).
I tried both 13.12 drivers as well as the newest betas 14.1 ,the only difference was the first target affected, on 13.12 the corruption would appear on primary monitor whereas on 14.1 it would affect the secondary one.
Also occasionally I experience the screen flicker issue as well, maybe newer BIOS could solve both of them.

Can't download the vbios from that site you linked to.
None the less >>this<< is the latest vbios
TV303MH.131 is normal vbios, TV303MH.141 is LN2
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (131_141.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.131 or TV303MH.141) on that stick.
Rename TV303MH.131 / TV303MH.141 to 131.rom / 141.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 131.rom (or 141.rom) [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

MSI Radeon R7 250 black screen and mobo beep in game

Hi guys I have a bit of a problem with my video card, I bought MSI Radeon R7 250 last month I haven't played any games really since then as I had no time, but about week ago when I started to play world of warcraft, after 2h of gameplay my screen went black and my mobo buzzer started to beep, this have happened with my other games too. I have checked the buzzer code it and it turned that im getting video/display error, I have been searching over the web about the source of it but I got nothing, now my question is can I fix it somehow or is it a manufacture issue, all of my divers are up to date.
My PC is practically new i got it at the end of last year, those are the specs:
CPU: AMD Athlone IIx2 270 3.2GHz (I have overclocked it to 3.99GHz but after the errors I got it back to stock)
RAM: 2x2Gb Corsair Value DDR3
Mobo: MSI 760GA - P43(FX)
GPU: MSI Afterburner Radeon R7 250 1Gb GDDR5 (4.6 Effective Memory Clock)
PSU: 500W
When I was overclocking the CPU I got Arctic Freezer 13 so all the temps were fine.
I have runned stress test with FurMark for about 30 min just to check temps and i got 60 degree, in game im getting about 45 - 50, CPU max is 26

Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also try running the PC without the GPU inside (make sure you disconnect power cables).
PSU seems to be enough for this GPU. But if possible (hopefully a friend has better one) test with different PSU. And test the card in different PC too (if possible of course).

MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

Hello there.
About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
Bios Version: Latest
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
PSU: Don't know
12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
Raid Card: Onboard
Sound Card: Onboard
OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

Hey guys!
The other day I got MSI Radeon R9 270x 4 gb to upgrade my fairly old PC. I've been gaming on it for about 3 years.. When I connect the card with the two 6 pin cables the fans starts spinning
but my computer wont boot. Any suggestions?
I've been thinking about updating my BIOS but I can't seem to find drivers for my motherboard.. And I have no experience updating BIOS either :(
Any help would be much appreciated!

To figure out what bios version you have, >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. After starting the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher it will automatically detect your board's current bios and save the details in a file on your desktop called MSIHQ_INFO.txt. There you can read up the exact bios version. Quote this details to check if there is a new version.

Black Screen During Gameplay and not High Demand Renders?

Hi,
The computer I own has been having issues with games that it previously had no problem with. 20-30 minutes within a session the screen will go black and audio will continue momentarily. The only way out of this issue is to hold down the power button for a reset. I have updated my drivers and cleaned out any dust with pressurized air. But the problem still continues. The strange thing is that I use Photoshop and After Effects for my work and there is no issue. Need help!

Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Black screen during Windows install

Hello,
I have a late 2012 27-inch iMac with the GeForce 680MX 2GB graphics card. I'm trying to install Windows 7 or Windows 8 using Boot Camp, but neither works.
In either case, I can use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a bootable USB install disk, download the latest Windows support software from Apple, and partition the drive to allocate space for the Windows installation.
As soon as I partition the drive, the iMac restarts and tries to boot into Windows. But the only thing I ever see is a black screen (no blinking cursor), no matter how long I wait.
This seems like the exact same issue that plagued the late-2009/mid-2010 iMacs,
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
In other words, it looks like the drivers included with the default Windows install disk don't work on the late 2012 iMac, at least not when configured with the 680MX.
Since this looks like the old problem but Apple doesn't appear to have provided drivers for the new iMac yet (the older iMacs above used ATI graphics, not NVIDIA), I tried to add the latest NVIDIA notebook graphics card drivers to the Windows install disk using the directions here,
http://superuser.com/questions/501812/corrupt-graphics-during-windows-8-installa tion
In particular, I used these drivers,
http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/55125
They're not explicitly supporting the 680MX (I couldn't find any drivers for it in NVIDIA's website) but they do support the 680M and a whole slew of other cards. Thought it was worth a try.
Anyway, that didn't do the trick. Still the black screen for me.
Any ideas? Have others had this issue with the new iMacs?
Thanks

OK, I figured it out.
You know how the Boot Camp Assistant gives you three options? Create Windows Boot Disk, Download Latest Drivers, Install. You basically need to do all three at once, from scratch.
I'm not sure exactly when in the last couple of months, but Apple updated their drivers. A few days ago I gave this another shot. Initially I tried using the USB stick I had previously created, but using some of the links at the first post above, I tried to inject the new NVidia drivers provided by Apple. That didn't help. I got the black screen and all that all over again.
But then I just tried to start from scratch, remaking the USB stick while simultaneously downloading the drivers. It then also asked me if I wanted to install a new helper tool. I never got that prompt before. Either that tool solved it, or when it was creating the boot disk now it was injecting the new drivers itself in some different way.
Whatever it was, try starting from scratch and going through all the steps and you might be successful in classic "it just works" Apple fashion. Took them a couple of months, but they got there.

i get a black screen during windows 7 installation on bootcamp 5.0.1 , it wont install

Hi wb2009,
I haven't found that the TV would be an issue, but did find an article that states to not have extra USB devices connected.
Boot Camp: Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536
The Windows installation may boot to a black screen with a blinking cursor. This can occur if you use a USB optical drive or USB Flash drive for the Windows installation and another USB device is also connected to the computer.
There's another article that mentions Windows XP or Vista that may apply.

Black screen during startup

I get a black screen during sturtup of my MacBook Pro (April 2011): the backlight are on, but the grey screen with the apple doesn't appear.
Then, after a few, the login screen appear, and after I log in I can use my MBP normally.
I tried resetting the SMC, but nothing changes. I thought to reinstall OSX (I have 10.6), but I realized that I can't if the screen is black.
I've also tried the Apple Hardware test, but I don't see anything.
Any idea or suggestions?

Apparently I solved by resetting the PRAM.

MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB and GOP UEFI vBios Flash?

I'm thinking about getting a MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB for my HTPC since it's kind of shorter and was wondering if MSI provides a GOP UEFI flash for it or if it's capable of doing so?
Thank you.

the card has 2 VBIOS's and some have one that is Legacy and another that is GOP already (others have a Legacy and a LN2) so its a 50/50 if it has it out the box!
if it doesn't there will probably be one available as the Rx - 2xx have been around a while now!

[solved] Black screen when booting installation

The basic problem. I have a HD6870, my monitor is connected through DVI (& my second one through HDMI). No integrated graphics.
After I try to boot the x64_86 version, the screen goes black after 'booting kernel'.
Things I've tried:
radeon.modeset=0 (gives drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS suppot in radeon module)
radeon.modeset=1 (black screen)
nomodeset (drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS suppot in radeon module)
disconnected second screen (black screen)
video=SVIDEO-1:d (black screen)
i915.modeset=0 (I have no intel, but black screen)
acpi=off (doesn't work either).
It is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?
EDIT:
Solved by upgrading BIOS

Should this be on or off?
Edit: Only thing remotely close I could find was legacy USB settings, but those just disable my keyboard in the arch install.

1 videocard
Lone_Wolf wrote:Another possibility :
Maybe linux does send output to a wrong monitor. Could you try booting with only 1 monitor connected ?
I initially thought the same, tried with DVI, HDMI single and double monitor, but it didn't work.
Lone_Wolf wrote:if still black screen with 1 monitor , try a different connection (your card has 4 it seems : hdmi, display port, dvi-d & dvi-i ).
See above.
EDIT 2: putting HD in AHCI mode makes just the screen black. Backlight stays on. In Knoppix and Ubuntu it makes the kernel hang at booting kernel _
