Installed R9 290x Gaming, fans spin, that's it

There is no display, all USB devices are not lighting not sure what to try next.

what mainboard error code you have when you try to use this card?

My 7950 works great on this, didn't clear the cmos. Reason to upgrade the bios?
the reason is to solve your issue...

290x Gaming 4G - NO FAN CONTROL AFTERBURNER

I am not the only person, why on earth does MSI PAY for Afterburner and not have proper control of their cards through it?
The stock fan control profiles SUCK and I'd be happy to have just plain ole, SIMPLE fan control. Afterburner doesnt work, MSI Gaming APP doesnt do (horrible program BTW devs) and CCC doesnt work either... YAY!
Someone tell me I am moron for not finding some hidden checkbox, otherwise I am pretty disappointed with my two new 290x Gaming 4G's.

Use the attached for both.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (TV308MH_161.rar) and put the included file (TV308MH.161) on that stick.
Rename TV308MH.161 to 161.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 0 161.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios if flashing both cards one after another with one card removed. If you want to flash both in one system the syntax listed before will just flash one card. You'd need to type then atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and atiflash -p -f -noaper 1 161.rom [ENTER].

The Cause of the GTX 9x0 GAMING 4G's fan spinning issue

This applies to all GTX 970 and 980 GAMING 4G cards and possible future models with the same fan (e.g. 8G):
The Issue:
Once the card goes above 60°C, the fans should kick in. However, sometimes, one of the fans is in a bad starting position and the initial starting voltage is not enough to start one of the fans, so it just twitches in place. The card assumes a fan failure and spins the other fan at 100% to counter a possible HW-failure of the card due to overheating. Additional, the noise gets the attention of the user!
The culprit:
Blame either cheap fans/motors or badly adjusted starting voltage! Either way, it's MSI fault
The (semi) fix:
Give the fan that's not turning a jumpstart: Just get it to turn if ever so slightly and the built in motor should be able to continue turning it by itself!
This unfortunately isn't a fix, as it will most definitely occur again - at least once its rested. Over the months and years to come, this should be a more frequent issue than now - even for those that aren't plagued by this problem yet!
The real fix:
RMA the card or hope for a BIOS update that fixes the starting voltage of the fans - if that is even possible.
I hope this helps!

Thanks for contributing but this has been discussed over and over and everyone knows by now.

Fan spinning in maximum speed

Hello ,
let me know , is it normal fan spinning in maximum speed continually when playing games ?
Thanks .

Ive been doing some research on your gpu friend, ypur gpu component is not what we would consider gaming certifide, and also seeing as how your product is 4 years into its life cycle we can expect it to react the way it is now (my opinion) you may correct me if im wrong.
Anyway if at all possible delet drivers and software from system, be sure to download the newest whql drivers from AMD and also on there site the have a recomended way for you to do so, that should minize the driver store from taking on any misconfigurations from before. As a reference on the AMD site it should be along the lines of installing new drivers and deletings drivers, read through them both to be sure, hopefully it should help you out a bit but hope for best and expect the worse.
Time to put her to bed and get a new gaming campanion bro.
Good luck.

Is the MSI vga installed in this machine? If so this is quite impossible.
Thank you for the fast reply.
I managed to fix it.
Downloaded the latest atiflash 4.17
Did a fresh boot then ran atiflash -i (it was in 0 as you said)
Then ran atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom and it flashed
Manual fan now working!!!
Thank you so much for your help

R9 290X Gaming VBIOS Request

I just bought a brand new MSI 290X Gaming 4G and I have no control over fans, the msi GamingApp seems to have no control either.
SN:602-V308-06SB1403000948

Hi,
Is anyone able to clarify some or all of the BIOS issues/info?
My 290X Gaming is exhibiting some stuttering issues. I have read through several forums over the last week and determined that a BIOS update has resolved this issue with brands. So, after more reading, I've ended up here. This is certainly disconcerting. When one spends over $600 on a video card for the 'Best' you'd hope it's not a 1/2 functional kludge.
I tried the 160 BIOS and lost fan control with the card set to Legacy Mode Switch Position #1. GPU-Z showed a different version than with the card set to UEFI Mode Switch Position #2. Position #2 shows the old BIOS version and the in this mode the fans are controllable. As well, in position 1 which seemed to be the new BIOS with the loss of fan control, the whole computer seemed funky and ultimately the screen would go black and I'd have to shutdown and reboot.
So are there typically 2 separate flashes? One legacy and one UEFI? Does one have to flash the card in both switch positions? I was of the understanding that position 2 is locked and position 1 is for flashing.
Would someone kindly elaborate on all this? I couldn't seem to find the info here.
Also, there seem to be 4 BIOS here;
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?manufacturer=MSI&model=R9+290X
Obviously 2 are 1030MHz and 2 are 1040Mhz.
For each speed, it shows versions
VER015.042.000.003.000000 f1040.h02
VER015.042.000.003.000000 u1040.h02
So, what is the difference? Is one supposed to be Legacy and one UEFI?
Again, some insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

R9 290X GAMING 4G - high temperatures?

Hi!
On IDLE its about 38*C (100.4*F) to 42*C (107.6*F), but while gaming it raises from about 86*C to 90*C (186.8 to 194 *F). My PC is very well vented using 8 fans (7x120mm and 1x140mm except CPU) temp. in room is about 28*C (82*F).
Those temperatures are normal for R9 290X GAMING 4G with Twin Frozr?

Yesterday, I decided take to pieces heat sink and first what I saw that backplate was not tighten (!). In result thermopads on power section had dust on it (so in my opinion they had no cooling). Now GPU core, where I was shocked too. Cooling paste was everywhere, not only on GPU core, also on resistors that surrounding GPU core, also there was a little stripe on black plate that surrounds GPU. Cooling paste was not properly applied!
I should get extended warranty because of that not-cooled power section and Chinese worker who assembled my GPU should be fired!
After tightening screws on backplate and heatsink, and replaced cooling paste temperatures are normal now (about 86*C), not 91*C.
I was very disapointed, adding that this is the first product from MSI.

Portege R500 fan spins up and freezes

Hi
I have a Portege R500 running windows XP. I seem to be having issues with the Fan spinning up really quickly and the Laptop then freezing. It sems to happen mostly when I remove the Cat5 from the nic and turn on the Wireless nic. Toshiba have replaced the Cooling Module for me. I'm not sure if the issue is hardware or software, the issue sometimes happens randomly but as above mostly when removing the Cat5.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all.
Thanks for the replies.
I have an image that I use, this image has been installed on 3 or 4 other Porteges and they have been fine. I have reinstalled the OS on this Laptop about 5 times, I have also tried Vista but get the same problem.
Sounds like it could be a Hardware issue then. Has anyone else experienced any issues like this?
I know the Laptops are small and the Airflow doesn't seem that great so it could just be over heating but as I say other machines are fine and the issue occurs mostly when the Wireless NIC is turned on.
Thanks for all the help so far.

CPU fan spins up for no reason and never spins down

I'm having problems with my new and otherwise immaculate iMac Intel 2.4 GHz. The CPU fan often spins up to 3500 rpm for no reason, even when left idle.
There are no processes running to justify the noise (no Spotlight indexing or anything) and the temperatures are as low as can be.
I have tried resetting PRAM and SMC many times to no avail.
Usually putting the Mac to sleep and waking it up slows the CPU fan down again, but it will go nuts at 3500 rpms sooner or later.
Once the fan has spun up to 3500 rpm it never spins down again unless the iMac is reset or put to sleep and woken up again. Even when hours of useless fan spinning has left it freezing cold.
SMCFancontrol won't help as it can't slow down fans only make them go faster.
Apple Support suggested I'd take it in for repairs but I'm reluctant as this smells like a Leopard/Boot Camp Issue from what I gathered on the boards. Also the repair service in Denmark is outsourced to third party repairers of questionable quality.
Any ideas?

I got my iMac back from repairs. They said they couldn't reproducere the error which might be as it at times appear very sporadic. The fans began to spin within the first day of use after I got it home though.
It seems that more and more users on the boards experience this problem. My theory now is that this must be a software issue as it usually begins once people update to Leopard 10.5.2.
The problem manifests itself like this:
The CPU-fan will start blowing at 3500 rpms for no reason (CPU-load and temperatures can be as low as can be.)
The CPU-fan will never slow down again by itself. Even after hours of unnecessesary spinning has left the Mac freezing cold.
Putting the iMac in sleep mode and waking it up again will temporarily slow down the CPU fan down to the usual 1200 rpms (usually for about 10 mins).
Resetting PRAM and/or NVRAM (SMC) will not help.
Installing SMCFancontrol will not help as it will only let you speed up the fans further - not slow them down.
So now I really hope Apple will address this problem with a new OS X release soon.
Still, if anyone manages to fix this problem with a hardware replacemnt please let us know.
Cheers, Jez

HP 2510p fans spin non-stop on system resume

I was having difficulty with my hp 2510p laptop fans spinning at maximum after system resume. This makes for a undesirably noisy laptop.
Searching online I found users of redhat/fedora experiencing the same issues. It seems like is a kernel issue that on the link was fixed with the update to 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64. I am running kernel 3.19.2-1-ARCH and still experience this issue. If others have this problem, the workaround they posted about changing the values of `/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device*/cur_state` from 1 to 0 worked for me (did not test on system resume but manually changing them decreased the fans to a normal level).
Is there a better fix to this issue? As my kernel version is more up-to-date than the one in which the redhad/fedora users experienced the correction, I would think I am missing a more simple step that should correct this. Creating a script to revert these values back to 0 seems like a bit of a hack rather than actually addressing the problem.

Why does fan spin for 1 second only? K7N2GM-1L

Hi Guys,
First post here. I have read all the stickies and FAQs, but I don't seem to have found an answer to my specific problem. If it is here, and I missed it, please just point me to it and accept my apologies ( and thanks) in advance.
I have just put in a K7N2GM-1L for a friend who was struggling. When I hit the case power switch, the CPU fan spins for about 1 second, then stops. Nothing else happens. If I reset the power switch on the PSU (i.e. set from 1 to 0 then back to 1), I can repeat this process - but nothing seems to help get the board to progress onto POST.
I have tried with and without RAM. I have tried removing the power switch cable to the board, and shorting (briefly) with a screwdriver, in case the case switch was bad (same result). I have tried with no IDE drives, all IDE drives, with and without the floppy connected. I have tried the board mounted in the case, and outside the case (on a non-conducting surface) - always the same result.
After a lot of head scratching (I normally consider myself pretty competent inside a PC case, and have installed / upgraded / fixed numerous PCs) I realised I had done something pretty dumb. I had been powering the board with the BIOS reset jumper set in the RESET position. I know, I should have checked first, but I didn't :(
The manual says that this will *damage the board*, but does not give any further details. Does anyone know whether this is the real showstopper, or is it just a generally bad idea and there is still something else that I have not checked?
I see from many other posts that the PSU is pretty critical to these boards. I have tried two separate PSUs - both from known working systems. Specs are below.
Jeantech 400W
+5V = 35A
+3.3V = 28A
+12V1 = 15A
+12V2 = 17A
-5V = 0.3A
-12V = 0.8A
+5V SB = 2A
Jeantech 500W
+5V = 40A
+3.3V = 30A
+12V = 18A
-5V = 0.3A
-12V = 0.8A
+5V SB = 2A

Yes, having the cmos clear jumper in the wrong position can damage the motherboard. I don't believe that it is an automatice thing to happen since I have done the same thing a time or two myself without any resulting problems
How many times did you try to start the system with the jumper set wrong? That may give us the answer since multiple tries might have been too much for the motherboard to endure.
Can you try the pieces in another system to verify if they are all good? If they check out, then it is probably time to request an rma on the motherboard.
It would help if you told us what other pieces are in the system: cpu-memory-video card-hard drives-optical drives-pci cards as I are just guessing now.
I'm afraid I probably started the board with the jumper in the wrong position a dozen times or so, while trying various combinations of other possible faults before I realised the jumper setting was wrong :(
The system is essentially bare at the moment - just a floppy, a stick of RAM, CPU (Athlon 1800), onboard graphics, no monitor, no PCI cards.
Just to humour me for a moment..... if we assumed that no damage was done by the CMOS jumper setting, what else might be causing the symptoms described in my post above? Any thoughts?

MSI Neo2 Platinum will not POST, but fans spin.

I bought this board about 2 months ago.
I install the board and it works fine, until a few weeks ago. Im playing fear and it crashes into BSOD...then every time i try to load a game BSOD. This points to the memory- so i look at my DDR booster, and teh memory is a little off...i correct it and the game loads fine. I play for a little longer, then exit to windows and then the computer just starts BSODing like every 5 minutes. So i was like " it" im going to cut the memory back...strangly, the only dividers that work were 133 and 183...the rest just did not work.
Then finally, i restart the computer, and no POST screen. I clear CMOS, nothing. Take the battery out for an hour, nothing. Take the memory out, no POST...I dont get it...the fans spin and everything powers on, but no signal is sent to the monitor.
Then today, a few weeks later, I plug in just a PSU and a video card. Same thing happens: Fans spin, no POST. oddly enough, whenever power is supplied to teh mobo it turns on, it doesnt wait for a power button to be pushed.
2 things that might help diagnose the problem:
Almost every BSOD pointed to ntfs.sys
The PSU makes that clicking sound like its restarting about every 10 seconds when i boot up and there is no POST.
Anyone know what i need to do? All other componants work fine in a AV8 3rd Eye, so it is the mobo.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Forum. Please post complete system specs by creating a "sig" as described in the forum rules. Be sure to include complete power supply specs (brand, model and amps on 3.3, 5 and 12 volts) as shown on the label on the side of the power supply itself. The fact that a component works in the ABIT board does not mean that it is not the problem in your board, so don't forget to list all components in reasonable detail (e.g., memory size brand specs, hd, cards). Please confirm that you board is MSI #7025 too. Good luck.
EDIT - We need to know your Bios version and whether you flashed, and if so, how and from and to what versions.
fixed. All info should be in sig. I have tried 2 different PSUs, my Powersream 520 and my Antec SL400 all to no avail.
I did flash my bios via booting off a floppy to the most recent beta bios, but it worked fine for a good while before eventually failing.
All the componants in the sig were working fine in the mobo, and my HTT was 305x9 Stable. I was using a DDR Booster.
And im sorry, what do you mean by MSI #7025?

Macbook pro not starting up. fans spin only for a second.

Hello.
Okay so my MacBook Pro won't start up. When I press the power button I hear a weird sound like something trying to move but not being able to and after a second when its shutting down I hear it again. I've taken hdd and dvd rom out and the weird sound still comes. I removed both ram modules and the computer starts beebing the error sound. I tried srarting with only 1 ram module and nothing. The fans spin for a brief second and then stops. If I hold down the power button it stays on until the sleep light start to blink and then shuts down again while making the weird sound. I tried removing the battery also.
Any ideas?

Nice botch job there Dr. Zoidberg.
If you would have taken it into Apple for a free evaluation, it might have been a simple fix.
Since you have basically ruined your machine, costing more to repair than it's present value, you should just connect the internal drive to a new Mac using a SATA to USB adpater cable and use Migration/Setup Assistant or manually transfer files and trash the old one.
You also could get a Windows PC tower, where you have the option to do your own surgery as it's modular designed for that purpose.
Just install MacDrive into Windows and ues the SATA to USB adpater to access your files on the Mac formatted drive.
Good Luck

MacBook Pro - Fans spin up on power on

Hi,
I got my MBP back the night before last night, it was in for a major repair in which they replaced the Main-board (includes new SDD, RAM, Fans, I/O board, I/O Flex cable as well as the Clamshell Retina display (Complete))
The issue I was having before, after my MBP "burn-out" something inside, which caused them to replace everything, still seams to be happening.
My fans spin-up as soon as you turn the power on.
They also stay on the whole day (and never go off).
I know this is not the standard case with the MBP - as I have confirmed this with the genius at the apple store when I took it in last night - and he told me that it was "not doing it any more" ... and I got home, turned it on... and it was doing it still .... what a waste of a trip to the Apple Store on that one
I wanted to know if other had this issue, and if its perhaps an installed app. I have the widget iStats (which is loaded on the widget screen all the time) ... To check things, and after googling things, I installed smcFan control... in which I am NOT able to tell it "not" to spin the fans, there is no option in the APP that has a minimum speed of 0 (zero) I also installed the "Macs Fan Control.app" - which also does not have the option to make a zero minimum spin speed.
Because the MBP's fans come on immediately when I turn the power ON... and stay on through log-in, and boot up... and the whole day... I struggle to see it as a software issue - unless one app along the way set something in the machine config that tells it to always be on...
During use of the MBP, and when it does get "hot" ... the fans also do not seam to spin up faster to cool it down, knowing that this algorithm may think its not necesary to cool it down when the GPU Diode is cooking at 155 degrees F - the SSD is running over 115 degrees F - the CPU Heatsink is at 126 degrees... and so on... I in this case used smcFan to cool it down by manually increasing the fan-speed (I otherwise do not have either of the fan-speed apps running automatically on boot, the only one is the iStat widget, which as far as I see does not "control" it only "reads" the values)
Is there anything I can check for this.... I really don't want to waste my time again going to the Apple Store to have a genius tell me they are not on, to get back home again to see that they are still on :S
Thanks!
Brad

EDIT: I notice that when using smcFanControl, you can set the "Default" for the fan speed... In this app you can not select a minimum speed of less than 2100 left, and 2000 right... Going into the other app, Macs Fan Control (MFC) it tells you the minimum speed that "can" be used is the same as what I make the minimum with the smcFan app... i.e... If I make the minimum for both fans 4000 in smc, then close it... and open MFC... then MFC tells me that the minimum fan speed is 4000.... This makes me think that smcFanControl is updating a system setting to tell is what the minimum fan speed is... which would make sense that when booting from power off, the fan speed is already set to the minimum. ( I will confirm this by setting it HIGH, and powering off, then powering off again - and will update this thread ONLY if I am wrong in the understanding that on powering ON again, that my fan speed will come on as I power on at the HIGH speed that I set it in smcFanControl!!! Only if I am wrong) ... which would lead me to the question to the Apple geniuses, of "How do I then set my "default" minimum fan-speed back to zero?? ( and I can then un-install the fan-applications, as I only installed them to see if I could control the fan speed to make it zero, which I can't)
I have only a few apps open right now while I type this, and checking activity log, FireFox which seams to be using a LOT of cpu power for me to type into this box (I must be typing blazing fast - not ) ... which makes my GPU Diode to go over 155 degrees F :S)
:END EDIT

R7850 power edition 2gd5/0c - fan spin up when idle

Hi -
Apologies for crashing another thread.
Fan spins up every 10 secs or so when the card is idle, please help.
Card s/n is:
602-v273-030B1207076134
Card model is
R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC
(twin Frozr IV)
I stupidly flashed a vbios for a card that I believed was same model, and problem remains.
I do not have the original vbios - it is currently running 110MH.bin.
Thank you -

Yes, that's it.
You have to power off your computer, then to turn it on again then the new vbios will take affect.
Try MSI VGA drivers for your card: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R7850-Power-Edition-2GD5-OC.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
Remove current one with >>Driver Fusion<< in Safe Mode 1st,
before install the new one

Installed R9 290x Gaming, fans spin, that's it
