KT4V board having "Initializing Video Interface" problems

This is the board I have... http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=362
I can not get anything to display on the monitor. I was using an ATI Radeon 9550 PRO 128 MB and I thought that was the problem so I installed a GeForce 6200 256MB card and I am having the same problem. No video to my screen. Everything else boots up but I can't see anything.
I have the D-Bracket 2 installed that came with the board and it gives me an immediate indicator using a light pattern that my problem is: "Initializing Video Interface - This will start detecting CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then, detect and intitalize the video adapter." I get the same light pattern even when I don't have my video card in.
Could there be something wrong with my AGP slot? Do AGP slots burn out on motherboards?
Help.

Hi
Did you uninstall the old video card drivers before trying the new video card? Can you boot into safemode OK? If you can then you can run driver cleaner if the following suggestions fail.
http://www.drivercleaner.net/
Try booting the system with only one stick of memory if you have two and then try the other one if the first one doesn't make a difference.
You can also try clearing the cmos by removing the AC cord from the power supply, pressing the power button to clear any residual electricity from the system and then moving the cmos jumper to the clear position. Leave it for about a minute and then put it back into the hold position (pins 1&2) before reconnecting the AC cord and powering the system back up. Go into the bios and set the correct date and time. Save and exit.
AGP slots are like any other piece in the computer. They can fail but it is rare. Is there anything down inside the slot that might keep the video card from being fully seated?

Freeze At Initializing Video Interface

I reently purchased an MSI 848P mobo, and a p4-2.4, i have a 420 psu, and an Ati Radeon 9800, The board will lock up on Initializing Video Interface acording to the D-Bracket, I have tried everything, changing psu's ram, reseating ram, vid card, cpu, power connections, and nothing, i've tried the card in other computers and they post fine, with the exception of one other msi board that also is brand new but of the athlon 64 variety, i have an ati 7000 that i am running right now and it works fine, and yes the molex connector is plugged into the vid card. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi mPulse,
Yes, 5.9 "should" have all the extra fixes, that previous bioses have.
I would also check with ATI/Maker of your card if there is a firmware update.
I borrowed a ATI based 9800 card and placed in 848P Neo S 1.7 bios...... booted no worries. (Have demo of Doom3, what difference.......) Spex as below but diff mainboard.........
Sorry, cannot be pin point your problem..........

Problem hanging on DLED "Initializing Video Interface"

I've tried two different AGP video cards. One an ATI 9800 PRO 256mb which is new. The other an nVidia based card which is known to work. On either, the system stops booting displaying the 3 reds 1 green that indicate it was initializing the video interface.
This is a new K8N Neo2 Platinum. I've re-seated the cards, double checked power, etc., still no go.
Anybody have problems during this part of the boot up?

No joy. Tried re-seating it in slot 1, no change. Moved it to the other green slot, 3, no change. I did put the 9800 Pro in another box to test it, and it worked fine, as well as a different monitor/cable (which both work on the other box). None of it made a difference. I've unplugged pretty much everything from the mobo except for power & switches, and that hasn't changed anything. Think it's possible the mobo is DOA?

K8N Neo 2 Platinum Hangs at "Initializing Video Interface"

When I try to boot I get three reds in the diagnostic LEDs
LED 1 - Red
LED 2 - Red
LED 3 - Red (used to be orange)
LED 4 - Off
This corresponds (at far as I can tell based upon the manual) to a problem during "Intializing Video Interface." I've reset the CMOS, twice, reseated the CPU, and reseated the video card. I think I can hear the HDD spin up getting ready to boot, but my fans are so loud it makes it hard to tell for sure. Anyone experience a similar problem or have a solution?

1) Turn cool and quite off. When I had it on I had trouble rebooting, I would get no video signal.
2) Have cool and quite on and raise the Vcore to 1.55 volts (got this from another post).
I believe that having cool and quiet on is related to the rebooting issue as it messes with the Vcore. Hopefully a future bios release will fix it.
Hope this helps.
I don't get a video signal at all.

Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

Hello all,
I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!
-Sean

Two things to keep in mind
There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"

Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00846935&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52
2 X 512KB L2 Cache
2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.
HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Other OS Vista

OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
Let me know if this works for everyone else.

Ichat video conference problem

hello i am having a video conference problems when i try either the quailty is bad or the person that i am tryin to view camera is very blurry to the point i cant tell what it is has anyone has this problem or know how to fix it thanks

Which camera are you using? I have a MacAlly USB webcam. Before I bought it I went to their site to see what problems people were having.
Some of the problems people were having with blurry video was because they didn’t remove the protective clear tape over the lens or they didn’t know how to focus the camera, which on the MacAlly is turning the ring around the lens.
Maybe yours is a more technical problem, but this information helped me to not make the same mistakes.

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12.The clip keeps stuttering. The whole video is 45 minutes long, is HD and has added music tracks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•How many and what speed are your hard drive(s)... ie 5400rpm or 7200rpm or?

Interface Problems in Yosemite

Problem shows up when using software other than the native OS X apps.
If I attempt to close a window behind the app that has focus by clicking the red x part of the semaphore buttons (top left on every window) it will not work unless I change focus to that app by clicking the bar at the top.
As an example if I'm using Byword to view a document while composing an email in Airmail once I finished and move on to viewing, say a receipt, in Airmail and want to make a copy of that receipt and place it on the desktop. I'm done with Byword and it is covering the desktop so why not close it and get it out of the way. I move the mouse pointer over the red X part of the semaphore buttons and click, nothing happens. I have to bring Byword into focus by clicking the title bar, then click the red x to finally close the window. If the app below Airmail happened to be Safari the red X works properly.
On my Mac Mini using Yosemite this works properly for all apps.
This is only a slight problem but I have been having the odd quirky interface problems for the past while and I'm worried that something has gone south and these may end up adding together to make a very large problem. Initially I had problems with PopClip which seemed to be screwing around with the interface buttons in Rapidweaver 6. I removed the app to clear that problem using AppDelete.
While trying to diagnose this problem I have removed all the auto login apps that I can and rebooted several times to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

K9A2 Platinum Audio and Video Driver problems.

I put together my new rig last night and am having a lot of problems with drivers. The rig installed windows XP SP2 in about 10 minutes though
Rig:
MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios 1.3
Phenom 9850 BE
G.SKILL 1066 5-5-5-15 2T
MSI HD 3870 OC
WD Raptor
CoolerMaster 550watt
Several fans to keep cool air flowing.
My problem is that I can not find good audio or video drivers. I started by trying the audio drivers included with the board, but they would not complete the install. I ended up downloading audio drivers from the MSI site, however they also would not install with the "#-0001" error message. I followed the instructions on the forum: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115396.msg866810#msg866810 including installing the MS HD Audio Driver Hotfix but still cannot get sound working.
To further complicate my problem the 3870 has HD onboard, which makes a second instance of Microsoft UAA HD Audio driver in the device manager, and also tries to find drivers for bits of it's audio hardware.
Currently I have disabled on-board audio completely through the bios, and now everytime I boot-up I get new hardware found for UAA HD Audio, and also some Media interface. Clearly this is the HD on the 3870, however I can't seem to get drivers installed that will agree with the hardware thus the message continue to pop-up!
Does anyone have suggestions or similar experiences?

The standard AMD ATI Drivers + South Bridge chipset drivers worked flawlessly. I've made a clean run through 3dmark06 so i feel good about them.
As for the audio.
I've worked through both of those suggestions but haven't gotten anywhere. A few times I have been able to get the drivers to install without the "error code -0001" message, but that doesn't give me sound. Under device manager I still end up with yellow exclamations. It seems no matter what I disable or try to do nothing works. I've tried updating drivers manually like was explained in the first link, but when the update is complete I get the messages lile: "There was a problem installing this device MEDIA An error occured... The data is invalid"
Does anyone know if this indicates a hardware of driver problem?

After Effects not starting at all, stops at "initializing user interface"

I installed CS5 master collection trial version on W7 64 bit machine.
After Effects doesn't load at all (it stops at "initializing user interface") and it's even impossible to kill the process in windows (never had this problem with any app). I can shut down all the other processes, like dynamiclinkmanager.exe or Adobe QT32 Server.exe, but aftereffects.exe just won't stop and I need to restart my PC.
Also Premier crashes after I click 'new project', or try to open something, but the application starts and I do see the whole GUI.
I updated Quicktime, as well as my video card drivers. All other apps in the master collection seem to work fine. Uninstalled the whole thing twice (with the remove preferences option), cleaned the registry with a comodo system clean up utility, reinstalled also twice- nothing. Tried with the firewall turned off and quick time completly uninstalled - nothing changed.

can you rename or delete "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\10.0"
can you rename or delete for max 11
"C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2011 - 64bit\enu"

MacPro Early 2008 Display/Video Card Problem

*Hello, I have a Dual Quad-Core 2.8Ghz MacPro (Early 2008) with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB Video Card. I believe I am having the exact same symptoms listed on the topic "Mac Pro 2008 Video Card Problem".*
*MacPro has been working fine. Until one day, I power it on and the display stays black. There is nothing you can do besides holding down the power button and rebooting the computer. I have tried to do this many times and the display will not come up. I have also tried resetting the VRAM and PRAM settings - still did not work. I have had my MacPro for about one year and a half. It is in very good condition (no damage/no liquid/no overheating). From time to time, you power on the computer and the display works! It is very random. I am scared to turn off the computer or put it to sleep as this can also trigger the problem.*
*I did not get the extended AppleCare (the MacPro itself already cost me about $3400!) I tested the Cinema Display and it is fine, therefore the problem is not coming from the display.*
*I went to the Apple Store and they kept my MacPro for one night. Called me the next day telling me it was going to cost me approximately $800 in order to fix this problem. They claimed that either my Bluetooth module or my Main Logic Board was causing the display not to show. I am out of warranty, and I think it is very expensive. I am doing my research online in order to try and find a cheaper solution. After reading the discussions and checking out some other websites. I have a few questions:*
*If I buy a NEW* ATI Radeon HD 2600 and install it in my MacPro - will it fix my problem?*
*OR - I also heard about the ATI Radeon HD 4870 - Is that graphic card compatible with my MacPro - will that resolve the problem?*
*Do you think I should give it a shot? Are there any other things I can try?*
*I am thinking that I should try to replace the graphic card first and see if that is causing the problem instead of replacing the Main Logic Board right away (which will cost me over $500)*
*Please let me know of any thoughts that come in mind. I really need some support. I am a college student studying Audio Engineering and I use my MacPro everyday on Pro Tools and Logic. This machine is my life.*
*Thank You,*
*Kevin C.*

Glad you solved your problem Gaunja. Here's an update on my own.
When last heard from I had diagnosed the failure of my displays to boot up to graphics card problem in my early 2008 Mac Pro with my stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 by swapping out the same card from my son's Mac Pro and seeing the displays boot up fine. Before heading off to the Apple store for a new card I reinstalled my suspect video card just to see what would happen. The displays booted up fine. Now, two weeks later, again no video display--black screens--no signal from the graphics card. I rebooted the computer several times to no avail and was, again, about to head off to the Apple store for a new card. This time "just to see what would happen" I moved the graphics card to another slot and bingo, the displays are up. What can be determined from my experience to date?
1. The graphics card is flirting with death. Like a patient unwilling to die, through a mysterious force, it rallies to live another day.
2. The slot the card came installed in is unreliable--it's dirty, there's a spec of dust in there, a contact has degraded after two years, or some other slot related fault. Note that, until the card failed for the first time, it had never been removed from it's slot, the computer was treated gently, and it operated in a very clean environment.
If anyone has another theory about what may be happening here please feel free. I fully expect the displays to go dark again at some point as my suspicions are that it's the card itself that is the problem. The two replacement cards I'm considering are the ATI Radeon HD 4870 or the Nividia Geo Force GT120. I've read that both work with the early Mac Pros. Some complain that the ATI card is noisy and expensive. Based of Gaunja's post and others I think the Nividia card will suit my needs, be quieter, and cost less. But, for now, my stock ATI Radeon 2600 lives!
Just one man's experience with the "Mac Pro display, black screen" problem.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, Mouse problem & Video off problem solved!!!

I find the following information that I collected very interesting at the very least...
Here goes...
The video off problem that I was having was directly linked to the mouse. Here, let me explain the video off problem. In the BIOS Have the Standby mode set to S3. The problem occurred when I started windows, then went into standby, then started back up, then restarted the computer, the monitor would act as if it were in sleep mode, or rather there was no signal being sent to the monitor. Well the odd way I fixed that is by plugging in a standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. Also this fixed the issue with the mouse sometimes not working in windows.
Here is how I tested.
Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse, PS/2 & USB= failed.
Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse, USB= failed.
Microsoft Cordless Ball Mouse, PS/2= failed.
Standard Artec (Cheapy brand) Ball Mouse (With no wheel), PS/2= All issues fixed, and passed.
When I said failed I do not mean they didn't work, I mean they sometimes didn't work and also caused the Video off problem after restarting the computer.
Obviously it isn't the ports (PS/2 or USB) that are the problem, it is more like the mouse itself, and the amount of buttons in particular. As you can see above the only mouse that works correctly is the one that only has 2 buttons, the rest has 3 or more buttons along with a Wheel. The MX700 has 8 buttons + wheel, WOW!
Anyways I figure out it was the mouse, and not the memory.
Obviously MSI needs to make a patch for this mouse problem.
I'm still having a hard time believing that the mouse caused the video not to work, but it is true! I spend well over 5 hours testing this crap. Every time with the mice with more then 3 buttons it messed up, and every time with the 2 button old fashion mouse it worked flawlessly!
MSI, get to work on a new BIOS to fix this mess!!! :]

i used the ps/2 mouse in windows and the usb mouse when playing games.
you can get some trouble if you do it the way i did it.
i was in windows surfing and the pointer just jumped all over the screen.
when i looked on the other side under a table a friends little kid played with the usn mouse. )
bye
LOL, that isn't what I'm talking about.
There seems to be a problem with my motherboard accepting mice with more then 2 buttons. It works the first time, but if you restart the computer, the video goes off. If you have both installed, it still messed up.

Video signaling problem caused by 1.9, 2.0 BIOS (pointing out a BIOS problem)

Hi, i have a problem with the video signal. At random times when i boot up my computer, the computer would power up but there is no signal to the monitor. there is no hdd activity (via the hdd led) and nothing seems to be happening just that the fans are whirring. i have to unplug the computer then plug it again then turn it up again which sometimes repeats the problem. This is very irritating! So i did a little bit of troubleshooting:
1. I changed video cards. I used a SAPPHIRE ati radeon 9600XT fireblade and a LEADTEK GF4 ti4200. Both cards were causing the same problem and when i used both cards to another computer, there is no problem. = NOT A video card problem
2. used differnt kinds of drivers Cat 3.10, 4.10, 4.20 (omega and official) does not seem to do anything (which also i believe the drivers are OS dependent and its the bios of the vid card that starts up the vid card)
3. upgraded from 1.9 to 2.0 BIOS. still the same problem
4. reverted from 2.0 to 1.7 BIOS. the problem ended.
BTW, the board is 865PE-Neo2 - S. on a Intel 2.6Ghz C, 512MB TwinMos ram with m-tec chips, 80gb hdd, enermax 300w psu
so ive' solved the problem, and i just wanted to point out that there is a problem with 1.9, 2.0 BIOS. (havnt tried the 1.8 tho)

Wish I had seen this thread 2 weeks ago, but you did save me from buying a new graphics card. That was the last step (before chucking this mobo completely) in my attempts to fix the same problem. It didn't bother me too much, except I also couldn't get any DVD player (tried 3) to work. Would boot sometimes and at others gave a blue screen video error.
Flashing to bios 1.7 was the only thing that fixed it. Tried different memory, updating software, various combinations of drives, etc. For the record I tried bios 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, and 2.1. Not sure what about those updates causes problems but there definitely is something wrong.
Thanks.

Does 2 firewire audio and video interface can work together on FCP ?

hello,
My audio interface is a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D
my video interface is a Canopus ADVC 110
my hard drives are plugged in firewire too
and I use Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
So, the konnekt is recognized by FCP only when the Canopus is not plugged. And even then, the audio sometimes drop out and sometimes causes the app to crash, so that I have to trash the preferences
When I plug the Canopus, the Konnekt 24D is recognised by OS X but not FCP
I want to use the voice over tool with the konnekt 24D, so what should I do ?
Does 2 firewire audio and video interface can work together ?
If so, maybe I only have a driver problem from TC Electronic.
But if not, I have to change this interface. Let me know if only RME, MOTU, Presonus and Edirol work, as it is said on apple's webpage for hardware compatibility
thanks
eMac G4 1,25 Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)
eMac G4 1,25 Ghz 1 Go RAM DDR Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The 1082 does show up as a possible input when I open
the VO tool.
Ok. So an audio interface can be plugged to FCP without crashing the app. Because of the Konnekt driver problem, I wasn't shure of this.
I use my Aja box for export & external monitoring.
All my audio sources run back into the Tascam and I
use the analog mixer in the 1082 to monitor different
sources.
When I view external video, the audio follows it to
keep sync.
that's exactly what I want with other I/O interfaces. I'd like to monitor video with the canopus ADVC 110, and monitor audio with the Konnekt 24D (or another interface if this one is not compatible)
I also imput dailies with a deck or a camera (DV or HDV) but that's not the point here.
I want to imput audio with the Konnekt 24D because of its audio quality. Not audio sync to video dailies. But voice over, in sync with FCP video playback (for me, tha ADVC 110)
