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.

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)

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 MOD# MS-8870

Hi All ,
I'm wondering if my G4 TI 4200 ; Mod # MS-8870
is a 1.5 v vid card or 3.3 v ? Thank you in advance
for your time and input.
Bo Rong

BoRong,
It also depends on your mobo, if your mobo supports max 2x AGP, then it'll run at max 2x(3.3v) only, if your mobo can support anything from 2x to 4x, it will run at either 2x(3.3v) mode or 4x(1.5v) mode, depending on how you set your AGP mode in BIOS and display properties or if your mobo supports 4x/8x, it will run at 1.5v 4x mode only.
All the Best... :D!!!

Help! AverTV 98 freezes on KT4V / WinXP

Hi.
Yesterday I bought a brand new KT4V mobo. I am very happy because it outperforms my old K7S5A.
Here are my specs:
Athlon XP +1800 (Palomino core)
Temps: 52º (idle), 56º (full)
Cooler : Cu + CoolerMaster @ 2600 rpm
IDE ROUNDED CABLES
1st IDE Master- HD Seagate 60 Gb, 7200 rpm
1st IDE Slave - Iomega ZIP - 100 mb
2nd IDE Master- LG 40x12x40x DVD-Writer
2nd IDE Slave - Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM (A05)
Graphics: GeForce4 ti 4200 64 Mb + Zalman HP80A
Sound: Onboard
LAN: Onboard
Bios: 1.8
All my drivers are current. I use XP PRO + SP1, directX 9.0a, latest nVidia, Hyperion and AverMedia drivers, etc.
But the big problems comes with my AverMedia TV card. If I launch the TV app, nothing wrong happens. If I watch TV and then I do somethin else (launch explorer, kazaa...) my comp. FREEZES automatically, but i can still hear the sound comin from the last channel i was watchin'. Weird.
I read in an spanish avermedia FAQ that VIA chipsets have compatibility issues with their cards, and they recommend installing latest hyperion drivers. So... why can i do?
Everything is fine on my system, but TV apps always freeze. And yes, i changed my TV card from one PCI to another (no difference).
Any help will be greatly apreciated
cya

I love you
just kiddin'. thank you very much.

Try again with Vista 32bit, 64bit is highly unstable and only a few have it running stable.
I've been running Vista x64 for the past nine months, and now with my K9A2 P--and have had no problems. I mean, none. Have not had any occasion to even consider reinstalling Vista x32. Vista x64 has been stable as a rock for me consistently since I installed it. Would not consider going back to XP under any circumstances.
There is a problem with Beard0's system that I would say boils down to device drivers or faulty hardware or some combination thereof. His experience is dramatically different from my own, and the problems he's having are not indicative of my experience with Vista, whether x86 or x64.

MSI Geforce 4 ti 4200 8x 128mb problems

I have recently purchased a 128mb 8x GeForce 4 ti 4200 video card, and i am having great dificulty geting it to work properly. Here are my computer specs:
Motherboard: Abit KA7-100 (latest bios update installed)
CPU : Athlon Slot A 800Mhz
Ram : Crucial 512mb PC133
OS : Windows XP Pro / Windows 2000 Pro (latest updates installed)
DirectX : 9
Harddrives : 1 Segate SATA 120 GB
1 Western Digital 8mb cache 120GB
1 Western Digital 27GB ata 66 (boot drive)
2 Western Digital 40GB ata 100 drives
Here is my problem: I can install the drivers for the card just fine, but whenever i try to play a movie (avi, mpeg), 3d game (or any game that uses the 3D part of the card, my computer freezes. I've installed several different versions of nvidia drivers for the card on my computer, but the outcome is always the same. The 2D usage of the card works just fine, but whenever a 3D program/game tries to use the video card, the computer locks up. I have noticed this effect when I bought a GeForce FX card as well. My previos Vid card was a Visiontek GeForce 3 TI 200 which runs very well no matter what I use it for (and after the abuse i put it through too... XD ). I have tried about 5 different drivers for the ti 4200, and have had the same problems.
I'm currently going to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram next week, but I'm dumbfounded on why these newer cards do not work at all on my motherboard. If you can help me this would mean a lot to me.
My current mobo only goes up to agp 4x, but i hardly think that would cause the vid card to freeze whenever i try playing any 3d game.
Can someone help meh? :D thnx.

Hi,
It's been posted a couple of times but since I don't see any success stories yet; here's my problem. I hope you guys can help me out. I have tried to specify the system as much as posible but let me know when more information is needed.
When I play 3D games (and sometimes when I leave my PC without screensaver or 'doing' something) my system locksup after a short time (sometimes after 10 seconds other times a few minutes)and the whole PC locksup, I can't even use ctrl+alt+del to get out. My PC is brand new.
Important! The problem does NOT excist as soon as I install a different videocard, being a a Radeon 9200. However I would like to use my MSI card as it's performance is better.

MSI TI 4200 - TD8X - PC freezes while playing games.. Dx problem? Settings? HELP!

Hi
I bought a MSI GF4 TI-4200 TD 8x about 2 months ago, and it has been running fine 'till now...I'm having a few problems in a few games (HALO, homeworld 2), ocasionally my computer freezes completely in the middle of these games, and I have to reboot...I've tried lots of things to solve this problem, but I wasn't able to just yet...As I know these 2 games use directx 9, I was wondering if my graphics card supports or is compatible with dx9...In the manual and on the site it says dx 8.1 compatible...doesn't mention dx 9... So I'd like to know if it is compatible, and if this may be the cause for all these gaming problems...If not, I'd like to know what can I do to detect where the problem is...
When the game crashes, a long beeping sound occurs...I think this may be relevant too...
I've updated the SB drivers, mobo drivers, nvidia drivers (tried 45.23 and 44.03), tried changing AGP aperture size on BIOS (64 or 128),

What unified driver package did you install? I recommend using the 2.03's
Please create a signature in your profile like mine.
I don't think this is directly related to your video card.
If no help here:
Post this question in the nForce forum too and tell them I told you to.
The reason is someone may have had this problem from that forum but deos not visit this one. I also suggest you post this question over at http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/ to see if they have experienced it.
I know I have experienced this problem but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was that fixed it.
Your sound and TV card are sharing IRQ's, you really should try to swap PCI slots so the Audigy is on it's own and the same goes with the TV card. I know slot 3 is a good spot for the TV card, you may have to swap till you get the best IRQ allocation.

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. . .

K7T266 Pro2 incompatibilty problem with Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200

I just bought the GeForce4 Ti 4200 from Siluro and installed it on my MSI K7T266 Pro2 MB and have since then experienced some problems when booting XP pro.
Everything seems to work fine untill the very last application loads in XP after boot. Then the screen turn white, the mouse cursor becomes a black and white stripped square and the system reboots automatically. Generally after second boot, evreything seems to work fine but I get an XP error message stating that "the Nvidia Geforce4 TI 4200 drivers may be the origin of the critical problem encountered".
I have all lastest drivers for both the MB (Bios 3.7 + lastest VIA drivers) and the Nvidia GeForce (Detonator 41.09) and yet experience the problem... Help!!
MB K7T266 Pro2 MS-6380 Ver. 2 (Bios 3.7)
Siluro Geforce4 Ti 4200 (Detonator 41.09
XP Pro

I have an AMD Athlon 1700+
768 MRam DDR 266
Sound card is Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX
I have an ADSL connection with Alcatel Modem
I hope this is what you required... If not, let me know exactly what it is as I do not really know what PSU and the rest stands for (or when I can get that information on my PC!)
Thanks again for your help!

Just bought the Geforce4 TI card and for some reason the option to select TV out from NView Display Doesn't let me select TV out. The Raido buttons are light grey as if the card does not support TV out. In the Nview Modes Tab Standard (duelView) is the only radio button that can be selected. Clone, Horizontal Span, Vertical Span are all light grey and unclickable. I've tried the drivers that came with the card and also updated them with no luck. Any idea on whats going on ? ?(

Hmmm,
Vasa, it's strange that you had to connect a resistor to the Video out for the detection process to work! But maybe you are on to something that's causing a lot of people to have similar problems :D
If you measure the DC resistance of the Video input of a TV (or VCR etc.), you should see about 75 ohms. This is effectively what TV-out chips do - they make a fairly crude resistance measurement, and any resistance below a nominal threshold value (which will vary from chip to chip, but is probably somewhere between 100 and 200 ohms) will count as a "Pass" and ultimately allow the TV out to be enabled.
However, if for some reason the DC input resistance of the TV is significantly higher than 75 ohms, then the test will Fail, and TV out can't be enabled. Now, if TVs are being designed with high (DC) input resistance, they won't be detected by TV out chips, which is a pain in the fundamental output orifice The same applies if you are going through a VCR or a surround sound amplifier with video switching, for example.
A notable exception is professional video equipment, which has "loop-through" inputs. This allows a single signal to be connected to several devices (e.g. a TV monitor, VCR, Vision Switcher, Waveform Monitor) without needing a Distribution Amplifier to split the signal up. Each device has a high input impedance, and usually a pair of connectors and a switchable 75ohm terminator. It is important with this arrangement that there is exactly one 75 ohm termination, which must be at the end of the line. Anyway, people who use this type of equipment generally know what they are doing
I hope this background info is of interest.
Cheers

WIN ME AND Ti 4200 128Mb

Hello there, maybe someone can help me here...
I am the one that have "strange crashes" on my PC.Tell me this: I reinstalled my OS. Completely. It's a bare bones OS with almost nothing on it. I install 42.09 driver for my lovely Ti4200 128, and the OS started loosing it...crashes after few minutes, I noticed it happenes often during clicking on links or just simply scrolling the pages.
I took that lovely card out and put in my old one, Nvidia GeForce 2 MX/MX400, and it works like a champ. I haven't do anything else to the comp. It's still "just OS" with some necessary applications.
I wonder what an I doing wrong. Power supply falls out since I had to send that Antec 430 back ( it still freezed on me). I use driver 42.09. Resolution: 1024 X 768. 16-bit colors. What else? What am I doing wrong?
I'm tired. This is my second thred started on the same problem. Hope this one will fix it. I put a lot of hope on this card and I suspect it's a really easy fix. Just...what?
Thanks for all the responses in advance. Skiter

It could be the PSU, but I'm not so sure...... I also have a 250 watt PSU and here's my spec :
Asus A7V333
Athlon XP 2000+
MSI Geforce4 Ti 4200

Another Thread on GeForce 4 4200 lockups

Hi.
I am struggling with my 4200. It locks up whenever I play newer games, such as UT2k3 and Morrowind, but it doesn't have any problem running Wheel of Time (which is about 3 years old).
At first it was doing the random rebooting 3-5 minutes into the game, like everyone else has been complaining. So, I went out about got a new 400W PSU (235W combined) and that didn't fix a thing. Needless to say, I returned it since I couldn't afford it in the first place :p
Now, I've reformatted my computer, with a fresh Win2000 install, and I'm still having problems. It doesn't reboot now, instead of crashes to a blue screen and gives me this error:
"*** STOP: 0x0000001E ( 1x00000005, 0xBA7515C3, 0x00000001, 0x00000000)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
*** Address BA7515C3 base at BA597000, DateStamp 3dd970d4 -nv4_disp.dll"
Any ideas on what to do?

KT4VL + GeForce4 ti4200

Hello all, having a bit of a problem and hope someone can give me a hand.
Recently purchased and installed a KT4VL MoBo with an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ 1.47GHz Processor. Stole the GeForce4 ti4200 video card out of my old machine and everything is running fine. Crank the FBS in the Bios up to 133 and everthing is running fine. Install the drivers for the video card and get some real funky colors. I mean real funky, Picaso funky.
Messed with it for about 4 hours last night, no success. Came to the boards today and read that it might be PSU related. Sure enough my old PSU only puts out 160W combined. Replace the PSU with one that puts out 230W combined. No dice.
Here is the part that is kind of strange for me:
Everything runs fine, including the video card WITH the drivers installed, when the FSB is set to the default 100mhz. Goes all wonky when I up it to 133 and back to all fine when I take it back down to 100.
Oh, BTW, I've udated the MoBo Drivers and tried to versions of the drivers for the video card.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Infin8jest
**EDIT** Thought I would mention that I had installed the E-Color (not sure about the name) program that came with the MoBo and thought maybe that had something to do with the colors being all funky. I unistalled the program but was wondering if it leaves anything on the computer that would still effect the color. Thanks

Bas,
The Cooler is seated properly and the machine runs fine at 133FSB with my brothers GeForce4 Ti 4400.
My GeForce4 Ti 4200 runs fine in his machine at 133FSB.
I have tried the Trouble Shooting Guide, that is where I found the info regarding the PSU and I went out and purchased a new power suply.
Oh, and I don't think we can dismiss this as a VidCard problem because it does NOT work fine at 100FSB, it in fact locks up quite a bit now. But like I said, my VidCard works fine in my brothers machine, which has an MSI MoBo btw, and his card works fine in mine, and I believe his card draws just as much power as mine does. I think it's safe to say that my MoBo has issues with the 4200 VidCard. Thank you for your reply.
Netherscourge,
Yes, I thought it was a power suply problem as well so I went out and got myself a Antec SL350 which claims 35A on +5V, 28A on +3.3V and 230W on combined +5V and +3.3V. Shouldn't this be enough? Like I said, I was able to run my brother's GeForce4 Ti 4400 with no problems at 133FSB. I even ran a game that gave me problems at 100FSB with the 4200. It didn't bat an eye.
You're recomending a PSU with at least 350W, but 350W where? Combined or total? Thank you for your reply.
Moebee,
Well, it certainly takes a load off my mind that you have the same MoBo and VidCard that I do and are experiencing no problems... just to be clear though, you are running your board at 133FSB? What processor are you running?
I have updated with the live update, but that doesn't flash the BIOS, at least I don't think it does. Have you flashed your BIOS? I was think about doing this when I get home but it looks risky and would like to know that it will in fact help me. Thanks for your reply.
Thank you all very much for your replies... please keep them coming as I really want to get this problem licked.
Thanks again,
J-

Lock-Ups and Freezes PLEASE HELP

Hello everyone..
I come here to see if anyone can help me... Ive done it all and nothing is working.
I just recently started having problems with my computer, im not sure why this happend but ill try to explain everything as best as I can.
The problem started a few days ago while I was playing SWG's. I was playing and all of a sudden my machine froze, the screen locked-up and then after about 2 min the entire system restarted. I then logged back into my windows and after a while a system froze and restarted yet again. I though it was a SWGs issue but then the computer would freeze while browsing the net and doing other tasks.
I have formated my machine, re-installed my drivers, and re-installed the hardward. Nothing has worked.
My computer specs are
300watt PSU Enermax True Power
MSI K7n2 nforce2 8xagp mobo
athon 1700xp
512mb of Kingmax DDR 2700
SB audigy x-gamer sound card
MSI geforce4 ti 4200 8xAGP graphics card
Hope thats enough..
One last thing... When my computer restarts after the problem i get a message asking me to report the problem to microsoft... i located the error file and this is what was writen in it....

Thanks in advance

If what you are saying, and I am reading correctly:
The machine and game was working just peachy and all of a sudden the problem manifested itself?
Did you do ANYTHING to change your system prior to this happening to possibly have an effect?
the fast that you said you have re-loaded the OS and removed and re-installed the hardware with the same result tells me that there may be some sort of hardware failure and this could get difficult to troubleshoot.
First things first, try a memory testing software like memtest86 to see if you get any errors.
