Is my system compatible with GTX 970?

I have HP P7-1235 with MS 7778 (ver. 1.0) motherboard. I have recently purchased MSI GTX 970. When I put in the card and try to boot up the system, it freezes with Starting Windows sign on the display. From a research I have done it seems there might be a problem with my MOBO and/or BIOS version being compatible with the card. The BIOS version is AMI 7.07
I am running Windows 7.
Could anybody tell me if there is a newer version of the BIOS I need and or any other solution so I can run the GPU?
Or do I have to get a different GPU. Is so which one is high performance GPU compatible with my BIOS and MOBO?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
Unless your PC has a version 8 BIOS then don't count on the NVIDIA GTX 970 working in your PC even with the correct power supply installed.
Your PC has a version 7 BIOS.
Either of the below MSI graphics cards should work with the 300 watt power supply in your PC.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD
HP Photosmart Premium C309G, HP Photosmart 6520
HP Touchpad, HP Chromebook 11
Custom i7-4770k,Z-87, 8GB, Vertex 3 SSD, Samsung EVO SSD, Corsair HX650,GTX 760
Custom i7-4790k,Z-97, 16GB, Vertex 3 SSD, Plextor M.2 SSD, Samsung EVO SSD, Corsair HX650, GTX 660TI
Windows 7/8 UEFI/Legacy mode, MBR/GPT

I am running Mac OSX 10.10 -- is this system compatible with CS3?

I am running Mac OSX 10.10 -- is this system compatible with CS3?

Simplest is to move to Creative Cloud. You could buy CS6 but there is no upgrade path. You’ll have to pay full price and you’ll already be two full versions out of date.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 compatible with Nvidia 970 GTX?

Good afternoon.
I'm an owner of a GIGABYTE Nvidia 660 GTX Ti OC 2GB. The card is detected by Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (Even though,i think,it said that it's not listed or something but will work under my own risk..Is there a way to check if it's certified/supported via my own program and NOT the typical "This is the list of supported GPUs"?)
Anyways,i was thinking of buying one of the new 970GTX cards to game on better,but also to make full advantage of it's properties to do much more faster encoding/exporting (you know,create a H.264 MP4 720p@29,97FPS file) than my actual 660GTX card with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.
The thing is,any owner of such card (GIGABYTE,MSI,doesn't matter) have tried to launch Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and export stuff by using the GPU's full potential to make everything faster?.. Because i have this fear of "Getting the newest n greatest Nvidia card so far and in the end see/notice it'll not work with Premiere Pro CC 2014"
....Can somebody please help me with this big fear of mine,please?
Thanks in advance

P67A-G43 select boot device issue with GTX 970

I recently tried to install a new GTX 970 and ran into an issue where I am asked to select the boot device every time I boot the pc. I uninstalled the driver for my video card before installing it. The system appears to be stable once it boots into Windows. However, when I swap back to the GTX 760, that was in the system previously, it boots straight into Windows without having to select the boot device? I have seen lots of issues on the forum about the 970 and older boards but nothing specific to mine. I am currently have BIOS version 1.A0 installed. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, you need to update. Following the below updates to latest official bios (5.4 aka E7673IMS.540)
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download >>this archive<< and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt81_win78_xp.zip

Very Initial results PPBM8 (CC 2014) with GTX 970 SC

Well this has been an interesting evening with my new EVGA GTX 970 SC with 4 GB. I got over $50 off on an open box unit so I could not resist!
My single GPU benchmark from PPBM using MPEG2-DVD with Hardware Acceleration scores have been the same as my GTX 770 SC.
I hope that GPU-Z is reporting this new GPU properly. There may be some confusion here with a brand new board.
I downloaded the latest EVGA overclocking tool Precision 16 and tried to adjust the memory speed as I have done dozens of times and I could not get any changes showing in GPU-Z.
I do like the it has HTML 2.0 (4K monitor compatibility).
I do like the lower power dissipation.
I do like the slight lower price. (4 GB GTX 770 to 4 GB GTX 970).
In the next few days I hope to get the answers somehow on the overclocking of the memory and compatibility with GPU-Z
Testing with Premiere 8.0.1.21

Thanks much Eric, now I hope I can get our results page updated. Apparently with the new Maxwell's you cannot change the real memory speed. I have sent more time with EVGA and no one can explain why. It can appear to be set differently but it does not change the results like it has in the other previous cards.
I will install my GTX 770 with the GTX 970 to see how they play.

Unable to use 4 monitors with GTX 970

I used to run 4 monitors with my EVGA 660Ti. I recently purchased a Msi GTX 970 4GD5T OC and now my VGA only utility monitor on the DVI-I port (with included adapter) wont display when in windows. It displays the bios on boot but once windows 7 initializes it reads "no RGB input". I must be missing something simple that I did before with my 660Ti but I can't remember. Tried it with another VGA only flat screen I had and the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean by only DVI won't display or something? four ports on vga or some ports in onboard port? Did you check NVIDIA control panel 3D Settings--Configure surround, and right click screen resolution on desktop?

Docking systems compatible with 4th Gen Nano?

Can anyone give me a list of current docking stations on the market that are compatible with the new 4th generation Nano chrome? I'm looking to get one for my daughter who got one for Christmas. And, as many of you have mentioned, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that it is incompatible with my existing docking systems!
Thanks.

Stereo System compatible with Incredible

I want to get a home stereo system that's compatible with the Incredible. Is there one on the market that has a dock for me to place my Incredible in, and stream music from the device? Been trying to research, but can't find any...

i am not aware of any and unfortunately, the htc inc does not have hdmi. your best bet is to get a stereo with a 3.5mm auxillary input. then you just use an 3.5mm auxillary cord and plug it into the headphone jack on the phone and into the input in the stereo. i do this in my car and it works pretty well.

Pc wont boot with gtx 970

I bought msi gaming gtx 970 around 6 months ago and it worked flawlessly until today. I opened my pc to clean it up a bit, and removed the gpu from the pci-e slot, and the next time (1 hour later) I put it back in it just stopped working. Display led is just flashing and shows a black screen, no bios splash screen or anything. The logo lits up and fans start spinning for like 10 seconds and then just stop. Everything is seated as it should be. Also, it was all tested on a 750w psu. Same thing happens when the 6 and 8 pin connectors aren't connected.
I've tried my old gtx 260 and gtx 570 and they both work fine, and also I've tried gtx 970 in an older pc with 500w psu and the same thing happens.
Is it dead or what?
Specs:
msi p67a-c45
intel i7 2600k
2x8gb kingston hyperx 2133mhz
silverstone strider 750w psu

Well, if other vgas do work in the same machine but the 970 will not work in that machine it worked in before and won't in another machine as well it is dead. Rma it.

Trying to boot with GTX 970 and getting no signal..

Installed a GTX 970 and since then the PC will switch on but I can't even get to the BIOS screen. If I take the card out then it boots fine.
I've tried updating the BIOS and drivers as far as I can but I am now stuck as to what the problem could be.
The lights on the card also come on but the fans don't spin.
The build is currently:
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard
Intel Core i5-4690K
G-Skill 4Gx2 Ripjaws DDR3 2133MHz
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS
Any help would be appreciated.

I would:
I assume this is a single card install?
1. Check card in another PC (if possible)
2. Check PS connections
3. Check PS's ability to output enough wattage
4. Try different monitor connection/cable
See where that takes you... and report back

Z87-GD65 Stuttering with GTX 970

Just got a MSI Golden 970 and I've had a Z87-GD65 mother board and when I upgraded my GPU I noticed games like assassins creed unity I was getting stuttering and less than 60 FPS in the menu's when customizing my outfit my FPS would drop into the 20's. So I knew something was wrong right away when league of legends had a FPS drop into the 40's during combat for a split second.

Also try with >>Unigine Valley<< in maximum details (Extreme HD) and check clockrates/temps with OSD of >>MSI Afterburner<<

Audio systems compatible with 3G iphone

I purchased an Iipod audio system for use with my new 3g phone. It doesn't work well. There is audio noise and phone noise. Are there audio systems that will work with the 3g phone?

One's that are marked, "Works with iPhone". Check Apple's online store, you can find most of them at various retailers and not just from Apple.
You could also try putting your iPhone into air plane mode while in the speaker system. It sounds like it's getting interference from the iPhone's cell radios.
The same thing here. My Apple IPOD Touch does not put out any noise when audio output is to a radio through a 3.5mm wire. But....the Apple Iphone 2nd generation does put this noise through the radio. I would think that in FM there would not be any noise.
Now I use my best application to listen to radio stations Wunder Radio. IPOD touch all is great. IPHONE noise on the radio. I purchased the IPHONE to beable to listen to different radio stations while driving where I am not connected to WIFI.
Is there any fix for this?
If I switch at Airplane Mode off Wunder radio will not connect to any stations and I am not able to access the internet.

Is my speaker system compatible with MSI K8N SLI Diamond?

Hi!
Can I use my old speaker system with MSI K8N SLI Diamond. My speaker system is Creative Inspire 5.1 5500D Digital with decoder. Now 5.1 sound doesn't work properly. When I try look movie with PowerDVD6, center speaker is dead and no speech on movie. On PowerDVD6, SPDIF output is selected and tried also 6.1 channel options but no, speech will not play at center speaker. Some games too 5.1 surround doesn't work. I have connected my speaker system on motherboard coaxial SPDIF to speaker systems Decoder coaxial SPDIF, and speakers on that decoder. Do I have to buy new analog speaker system to get 5.1 surround working? If I connect my speaker system directly on MB analog outputs, sound balance in very bad, rear and front speaker is good but center speaker crackling and speech at center speaker sound like volume level is much too high.

Quote from: Stick on 10-February-06, 19:24:28
if you know that the speakers are working (tested on another pc) it is usually a software configuration error. if the decoder would mess up the sounds, it is unlikely that you would hear anything in the other speakers too.
My speakers systems works perfect my previous setup, when motherboard has nForce2 SoundStorm integrated chip.
Some other forums, peoples claims that this MSI k8n motherboard can't send multichannel 5.1 surround audio on SPDIF and I have to connect my speakers on motherboard analog sound outputs.

HP Elite 7500 series MT , Compatible with GTX 750 TI ?

I currently have a HP Elite 7500 series MT.
My Bios is AMI 8.17
I have researched long enough and saw that GTX 750 TI card can fit in the mother board (z75) but there have been many threads open about how people with the same PC like mine or similar got the GTX 750 TI and it froze before BIOS, question is, Why does that happen and will it happen to me?

Hi,
The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.
If I had your PC I would feel confident with trying one of the below MSI 750 graphics cards.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF Note the exact model numbers.
This thread has some similar desires.
