K7N2GM-V - MCE - GeForce4 MX - DTV

I am trying to use this mobo with Windows MCE 2005 and AverMedia M 150 and HD A 180 tuners. The analog reception is fine, but when I tune to a digital channel it blacks out, except for the channel and program name. Then the system hangs. My research has led me to suspect there is insufficient grpahics memory availalble to the integrated graphics "card." Is there some way to change the memory available for the display?
Or do I need to buy an additional graphics card?

I have reverted to the earlier 66.93 drivers as suggested; no more black screens but still choppy video. And I can no longer use resolution of 1080i, I get a double image on the screen; 720p works fine.
Note that I want to watch and record DTV, that is HD, which has more stringent requirements then SD.
Dr. Shu has a similar set up to me, but if I read your signature right, a faster processor. And that I now believe was my problem.
I have an Athlon XP 2600+ (a "Barton" with 512KB L2 cache) with an FSB Frequency of 333MHz which should be adaquate for this. The problem is that the motherboard defaults to an FSB frequency of 100mHZ so I wasn't getting its full power. As I learned (in this forum) it needed to be set to 166MHz (½ the advertised frequency) for the CPU to be recognized properly.
Playback is now much improved. Thanks to all for help and suggestions.

Mega Sky 580 MCE plus 2nd tuner

Bought an MSI Mega Sky 580 USB DVB-T. Installed and worked OK with Presto PVR. Appeared in device manager as PC-DTV Receiver.
Started MCE but unable to detect. Read plenty of threads with similar problem. Tried 1.5.0.1 driver patch and Presto 5.20.12 patch. Still not detected.
Read about installing a second tuner which could cause first tuner to be detected. Found old Philips/Medion 7134 analogue card (rev3) and fitted. Installed with these drivers, http://support.pcworld.co.uk/1752
Device Manager now shows Medion (7134) WDM Video Capture and Medion TV-Tuner 7134 Mk2/3
Restarted MCE, detected tuner ok, scanned for digital channels and LiveTV working perfectly
Removing Philips card caused MCE to report 'No TV signal' :(
PC spec:
Dell Dimension E520
Core 2 Duo E6300
1GB RAM
MCE 2500 Rollup 2 preinstalled
Radeon X1300 256MB

So your saying you get both digital and free to air tv?

Lock-Ups and Restarts with Geforce4 Ti4400

Hi,
I've been having this problem for quite a while now during 3d games.
My setup is:
Gigabyte GA7VRXP
AMD Athlon 2000+
MSI Geforce4 Ti4400
I guess the rest is irrelevant.
Please help, Thanks,
Eyal Ben David

PSU=Power Supply unit
Who made it?
On it there should be a label with some numbers. on that label there should be the correct numbers for the 3.3V line and the 5V line(celarly stated on the label). There should also be a combined power statement on that very same label. The 3.3V and the 5V are measured in amps.

Msi geforce4 mx 460 locking up pc, help!

msi geforce4 mx 460
diamond pci sound card
some isa 10/100 card
windows xp pro
this is a fresh install of win xp, i tried the drivers on the msi cd, also the newest reference drivers from nvidia.com, that didn't help. i tried removing the sound card but no luck there. it mainly locks in games like GTA3 or NHRA Dragracing. it runs for about 30 seconds and locks. ctrl alt del doesn't work so i have to power down. it locks in windows also, but not as often. i don't see anything conflicting in my device manager. does anyone have anything i can try? thanks in advance!

oops, i must be a moron. under the 3.3v and 5v it says 120w, then under all the voltages (3.3v, 5v, 12v, -5v, -12, -9) it says 250w. so just to verify, i need one that has 200w with the 3.3v and 5v? or is it ok now? sorry...

Msi KT3 MoBo / MSI geForce4 TI 4200 Problem

Hello, hopefully someone can help me. I am having a rather unusual problem. Least I think it is. I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram. AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card. First of all, what agp settings should i use? 4x? 2x?. Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes? And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?
I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898! This seems a little low to me. Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000. I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers. Are these bad drivers? None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2. It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage. Can anyone help me? I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn.

I am using Windows XP Pro. I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA. I am also using a 32bpp color depth. The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically. I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have. Man do I fell like such a n00b.
Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked". Where is that at?
Thanks to all who have replied. :D I appreciate it.

MSI GeForce4 Ti-4200 128M 8X software

Here is the deal. The card install went well. MSI driver installs, but the MSI info and Clock tabs are inop. Upon selection, I get an error message, app .... .dll error
and when i install the MSI live update it shows an VBIOS.dll error and will not run at all. The 3D Desktop application is also inop, crashes browser instantly. Is this software compatible with Windows XP home SP1? If I have to go in and delete dll registry entries, than I have defeated the purpose of the software/card package. That is the reason I chose MSI over Asus.
The card benchmarks well, and works very well with the Nvidia detonator drivers. Leads me to believe that this a software problem. ?(
Windos XP sp1, DX9, Compaq motherboard, Athlon 1.2Ghz, Volcano 7+ cooling, 400W P/S, 448 M of 133Mhz Ram.
All help will be appreciated. 8)

GeForce4 Ti4400 - various problems

I have been having various problems with my card. These include: Pausing for several seconds (like a lock up) then reverting to vga mode; complete freeze where I have to reset the computer; red lines and dots that fill the screen sporadically; a blank screen appears for 2-3 seconds and then back to normal.
In all cases I have to reboot to correct. Sometimes rebooting does not help. The red lines and dots return even on the posting screen. When this happens Windows/XP doesn't even start.
I have to powerthe machine off and let it sit for awhile and then turn it back on.
I'm using the latest driver from the MSI website:
nv4_disp Version 6.13.10.3100
VBA bios info: 4.25.00.22.44
I have a Gigabyte GA7VRXP MB, AMD 1800+ cpu, 512MB pc2700 memory from Samsung, HP cd-writer, lg dvd-rom drive, and 40Gb Maxtor hard drive.
This is all in an antec case Plus880 with true 430 ps

I have 98SE so I don't know much about XP, but the artifacts you're seeing and the way it sometimes needs to be left off for a while makes it sound almost like it's overheating, because I had similar screwups when I overclocked another vidcard a few years back too much.
Check the fan on the card to see if it's running and make sure it's getting good ventilation (the card might be too close to another card on the board). If you have access to it, some of that cooling spray they have for testing electronics (might check Radio Shack or a PC store) might help show if it's temp-related or not.
And if you're running an overclock utility, try resetting to card defaults for a while. Running it past a certain point will screw it up even if you have it sitting in a freezer for cooling! :^)
Good luck.

Geforce4 ti4400 slow

I just got a msi geforce4 ti4400, installed it and even downloaded the latest drivers.
System is WindowsXP Pro.
MSI 850 pro with 512 rdram
1.6 ghz processor intel
I had a geforce2 gts and it gave me benchmarks much higher then my geforce4.
I benchmark Quake2, Halflife, all run very slow compared to my geforce2.
Help, I didn't spend all that money to get a slower vid card!!!!
theo

Obviosly the Ti4400 should be much faster so there is a problem.
A few things to check:
-Set the AGP apature size to 128MB
-Disable AntiAliasing during benchmarking
-Use 29.42 official drivers
-Refresh rate set too low and Vsync is active.
-850Pro (MS6339) had an original AMI bios that was very slow compaired with the later Award bios.

Kt4v w/geforce4 ti 4200

I have a kt4v via kt400 chipset based MSI board that I purchased 2 weeks ago online. I have had nothing but problems and I believe the problem is with the MB.
With the MB I purchased an AMD 2400+ CPU plus 333Mhz 2700 DDR Ram. I have a GeForce4 TI 4200 64mb AGP Video card installed.
I first tried installing windows 2000. During the install I get a Blue Screen stating that ACPI support is not available on this MB and I have to install without ACPI support to continue. In an attempt to fix it I updated the bios to 1.6. This caused MANY many lock-ups. When I backed-off to 1.5 things seemed to work better but what I did notice was that w2k sp 3 made things a whole lot worse (know that I formated my computer about 10 times and re-installed trying the many combinations)
Then I tried Windows XP Prof. It doesn't, error it just hangs during the text part of the install. If I disable ACPI support in the bios it installs, but I believe this is a feature that is requried and advertised. Now that I have XP installed (bios level is still at 1.5 plus ACPI is disabled) I still have problems. At what appears to be random intervals the screen will goto about 320x200 resolution and then thick white verticle lines within blocks appear all over the screen and eventually the computer is completely locked (sorry, this is hard to explain).
Initially, I would believe this to be a video card problem, BUT here are my reasons for thinking otherwise. 1. The ACPI problem that still exists makes me think this board is flawed ?? 2. I have owned this card for 6 months and used in my last computer without incident.
Sorry for the long question but I wanted to show that i've tried many different scenarios before resorting to this.

OK, I have run memtest on my computer with no errors.
I found on another thread that I may have a bad video card, but that doesn't explain why I can't install an OS with ACPI enabled.
Is there anyone out there who can help ?
THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.

NVidia GeForce4 Ti graphics card problems on my G4 1.25 MDD

I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 yrs now and since i bought it from Apple it has the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 graphics card w/128MB DDR. Love the card, but now its acting up.
At random while playing my favorite Online Game, WoW, the Computer will have system lock ups that feel like its an issue with the Video Card. I get the Gray Translucent effect that goes over the screen then the Dialog box that pops up with You must Resart your computer, blah blah blah. I think thats a Kernel problem (not sure). Can't force quit and I am forced to power down with the Power Button and then re-power up to boot up. Often I have opened my case to blow the dust out of the case with compressed air and I notice the GPU Heatsink/Fan is extremely Hot, even hotter than the CPU Heatsink. Could the GPU Heatsink/Fan have gone bad? If so could this cause the Card to Fail?
I ran an Apple Hardware Test one time to check it out and the Quick Test passed but the Extended Test Failed giving me a bizarre Error Code for the Video Card. I didnt recall the Code but It leads me to think the Video Card Failed!
I still Have 1 yr left on my 3yr AppleCare. What Can I do? Perhaps the Card needs to be replaced? I can't afford a new Video Card.
Thank you any help or idea is appreciated.

the apple care people were very nice and helped me through some checking and did more AHT (didnt seem necessary but) and they told me the Error codes meant something to do with the Cooling FAn faulting. I got a case # and took it into my local Apple store.
the genius tech was great and listened intently. made me feel better about bringing it in.
the initial reports from the apple care tech on phone and the apple tech at the apple store estiimated the video card would need replacement. very nice people, down to earth and didnt make me feel stupid as some techs do.
after seeing the estimate made me glad for apple care... whoah, lets just say if I didnt have apple care, I wouldn't have gotten the computer repaired, I would of opted to attempt to just buy parts as I could.
now stuck checking this discussion site with my old BWG3, and I am hoping the 7days rolls by fast.
Thanks for the help.

GEforce4 Game lockup

Having some problems with my new Video Card.
System Specs are:
CPU= P4 2.4GZ 800FSB
MOBO= MSI 865PE Neo2
VIDEO= GEForce4 TI 4200 8XAGP 128DRAM (IRQ:16)
PSU= 3.3:28A 5:30A
HDD= WD 80GB 8MB Cache
RAM= 1024 (2*512) MB 333DDR LG 16*DVD 48*CDRW combo
Floppy= 3 1\4
Sound Card= integrated 3D sound (on MOBO)
Ethernet= integrated Ethernet (on MOBO)
Ethernet2= DLINK DFE-538TX Ethernet
CDROM= LG 16* DVD/48* CDRW combo
OS= XPPro
Video Drivers= Ones that came with sytem, NVIDIA, not sure what version)
I think that's all, if you need more let me know.
So I just bought 2 of these systems, and have been having game lock-ups since the start. Clean install of everything. Had the newest Detonator Drivers before, but just reformatted and haven't installed them yet. Games that freezes occur are UT2003, and Neverwinter Nights. I tried to run the 3DMark2001 SE (to make sure it was a video card issue), made it to test 4, at wich time I locked up. Everything else is running fine. I think the PSU is good enough, but all the previous posts lead me to believe that this may be the problem. I need to be able to run D3D for MAYA4.5, so this is a major set back.
Any help is greatly appreciated.....

First off, thank you everyone who took time to help me out with my problems. Everything is working now, after much troubleshooting and fiddling. Now I will do my part and share what I can with you.
My system specs are as above, but I\'ve replaced my PSU with
a Startech 450Watt PSU. The output combined is 240W. Part number is ATXPOW450PRO.
Other things I did include:
Moved my RAM around, instead of using DIMM 1 & 3, I switched to 2 & 4.
Moved my ethernet card to a different slot. Wasn\'t causing any problems, but figured I'd do it just in case.
This one is wierd, but. . .Norton Internet Security was causing some problems for me. As I said in last message, I was getting audible noises from PC. Wasn\'t getting them on the other one, and the only difference was Norton, so I uninstalled it. Problem resolved.
Installed latest Detonator drivers.
Left DirectX at 8.1
After doing these adjustments I\'ve been able to run 3DMark 5 times in a row with steady results. My averages are actually higher than those posted for my system!
I'm now going to put this PC through some abuse with UT2003 and see if it can hold up. Once again, thank you everybody who has helped me (Wonk, Rob, Twisted(and others, I got alot of information from other posts)), and I hope this helps others with simlar problems. Now I just gotta find an alternate firewall to try use. . .

GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
pci10de,a:
Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x252
Revision ID: 0x00a3
I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just for clarification:
You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

Getting a hp mce remote for touchsmart 300-1125

I want to add a remote control to my HP Touchsmart 300-1125 and am thinking to order the 5070-5600 HP remote (random link: http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-COMPAQ-5070-5600-Media-Center-Remote-Control-/330414657906#ht_805wt_911).
I wonder about two things:
1) The IR Receiver *is* built-in, isn't it? (Device Manager lists a functional eHome IR device)
If in doubt, where should I look for the IR receiver sensor on the case?
2) I think the 5070-5600 remote lists as being made for the older IQ series of Touchsmarts. Will it work with the newer 300 series?
Thanks
Mike
This question was solved.
View Solution.

All MCE remotes from the past 8 years send out the same codes. There are a few newer HP specific codes, but 95% of the buttons are exactly the same, grab a 5 year old Gateway MCE remote, it'll work just the same as a new HP one!

GeForce4 MX using DVI to S-VIDEO / Composite Adapter

Hi peoples,
I'm running a PowerMac G4 Dual-867MHz MDD, with nVIDIA GeForce4 MX Video card.
I want to connect this PowerMac to the TV, so I bought the DVI to S-VIDEO/Composite, to find out that it doesn't work with this video card.
My question is;
is there something I can do to get this adapter working with my current set up, or do i need another video card or something?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.

A new video card would work. e.g.
ATI Radeon Pro PC&Mac Edition 256 MB. Has two DVI
ports. The DVI to S_Video adapter will work on one
port, the other port can handle a screen up to 30".
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256 MB. Better 3D
performance. One DVI port (single-link, no 30"
support), VGA port, and S-Video port. S-Video to
composite adapter included.
There are also used Mac, and modified PC cards that
would work.
Thanks for your reply. 3D performance isn't really required, as it's being used a server machine that will be hooked up to the TV, so it's hard to justify a Radeon 9800 Pro. Hopefull I can find something cheap & nasty, else this baby is going on eBay.
Cheers.
