Latest GX640 VGA drivers run gfx unneccesarily hot

I installed the latest (06-21-2010) VGA drivers from the MSI website on my GX640, but I now notice that my graphics card keeps running at 405mhz/1000mhz/0.9v (clock speed/memory speed/voltage) while idling on the desktop. Normally I could clock back these settings (I set them to 150mhz/300mhz/0.9v) by messing with the profiles.xml (in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE), but Catalyst Control Center seems to ignore this file entirely since I updated. For this reason, my laptop produces a lot more heat while idling then normal (my HD5850 is about 62C while idle, normally I could keep this down to 50C). Could this be addressed somehow?

The drivers are written and provided by ATI and MSI (or any other manufacturer) does not do any software editing on CCC. If the updated version of CCC in that driver package ignores you manual changes for some reason, then perhaps ATI/AMD has made changes that affect the way the program handles stuff like that. In any case, whatever the case may be (whether this is a bug nor not), MSI is not going to do any post-programming on CCC versions released by AMD/ATI.

Before installing vga drivers
1 Install your motherboards chipset drivers
for nvidia get the nforce drivers nVidia Drivers
for via boards the 4 in 1 drivers VIA Drivers
for SIS boards get the chipset gart driver sis drivers
these have to be installed or your fancy new AGP X8 card will run at AGPX 4 OR 2
2 Clean out older drivers

hi everybody,
please forgive me if i put this in the wrong place.
i have a system i put together awhile back with a 875 intel board, 2.8ghz p4 at 800mhz fsb. it needed a good video card and i put the msi geforce fx5700 vtd256 in it. it was doing great, but i wanted to get updated on the driver so i recently went ahead and downloaded the most advanced there was without being 64bit. i downloaded and installed vga driver 71.25 for xp as i have xp pro. i don't think this was a good thing compared to the original driver as the monitor now blinks or winks once upon startup and twice upon logging in on the logon page. this bothered me, but now i'm seeing videos are of poorer quality prompting me to join here and find out just what happened and how to remedy this. i am green when it comes to software ins and outs so bear with me and get me at least back to where i was if not anything better. i don't like using the way back machine called system restore, but i will if i have to. on second thought that may not work either. to better see what i loaded here's the link to the page. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=533&kind=2
the original file i believe was something like a number in the 2400 or 2500 range and after it loaded this one was i believe 7772. was it a case of i went to far skipping key upgrades along the way to that one? i need help soon so if somebody at msi picks up on this and can direct me i'd appreciate it, but any help is good.

MSI GT735 VGA drivers update (HD3850).

Hi,
VGA drivers for the MSI GT735 Ati Mobility Radeon HD3850 are now out of date...
The ones available on MSI download site are catalyst 8.5 :
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1517&driver_os_no=2#os
The ones provided by Ati on their offcial site are not working (10.5).
Some of the latests games I'm installing are crashing and when I'm asking for support, hotliners ask me to use the latests drivers for my video card, mines are nearly 18 monthes old, which is a long time, especially for drivers, and mostly for video drivers.
It seems a little bit strange for a notebook of "Gaming Series"...
More, modders like Mobility Modder.NET do not work...
Can you help?
Does MSI think about its fans and hardcore gamers?
Best regards.

Sorry!
I just downloaded Ati Catalyst 10.5 for Ati Mobility Radeon HD 3850 and they work perfectly!!!
They now have a section for notebooks on Ati website.
My games are now working great, and I'm scoring 3810 in 3DMark 2006, with benchmark by default.
This post can be removed, I didn't look at "[IMPORTANT!] Modified Vista and XP drivers for laptops with ATI & NVIDIA GPU" section of the forum before posting.
Best regards.

IMac G5 (w/iSight) running slow and hot on web browsers

Hello-
I've had my iMac for 4+ years and haven't any problems I couldn't fix on my own until now....
Machine is an iMac G5 w/ iSight with all original hardware except an extra 2GB of memory (for a total of 2.5). Over the last couple of months, my web browsers have begun to run slower and slower (mainly Safari, but I also use Firefox). Also the processor fan (I believe) comes on more quickly and frequently. It is now to the point that anytime there are any imbedded graphics, whether it's a youtube video, or a weather radar loop, or my kids are on webkinz, the fan kicks in and the top left corner gets extremely hot to the touch. As soon as I leave the page or close out the browser, the fan dies down. I cannot run any of these sites optimally. I am also getting quite a lot of page loading errors in Safari such as "Safari can't find the server." However, when I hit refresh the page comes right up. There does not seem to be a pattern to these messages. This only seems (so far) to be an issue with the browers. Today I simultaneously played a DVD, played songs on iTunes, and work in MS Word. No fan...
Here's what I've done so far:
Repaired disk permissions
Ran the extended hardware test (passed, no errors)
Ran diagnostics on my network connection (passed)
Reset Safari and Firefox incl. clearing the cache and deleting all cookies
Ran cleaning and maintenance w/ OnyX
Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks...
JD

Which Camino? Do you have the latest, which I think is 2.0.3? It's difficult to pinpoint why all your browsers might be slow to load.
You could try the Servers from OpenDNS which may be faster (and safer, since they are patched for DNS poisoning/redirects) than those of your ISP. Put these numbers in Network> DNS for the interface your are using, eg. Ethernet, Airport:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then check to see if it's working by going to
http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
You can also test your speeds here
http://www.speedtest.net/
Here's something to read on slow browsers (in this case, Safari, but applicable to any browser.)
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10354948-263.html
If the refresh option works quickly, that might indicate that your Internet speed is slow. Once you've been to a page, it's stored in the browser cache, so it doesn't need to reload everything from scratch. I don't notice any difference in speed from refresh loading, so I suppose my Internet speed, though only around 1MBPS, is fast enough not to have to depend on the cache.
I don't know for certain if that indicates a problem, but the CPU spiking temporarily to 100% on loading a page doesn't sound like a big problem. Your processor is by now relatively slow compared to newer machines and web pages are getting more complicated with more elements to load all the time.
Finally, those G5s do run kind of hot; it will only delay the arrival of the hottest temps, but putting a fan at the back does help a little. I use one even on this new iMac.

Latest Toshiba 3G drivers & Wireless Manager don't work in Windows 7?

Hi all,
I've installed, uninstalled, and re-installed the latest Toshiba 3G drivers and Toshiba Wireless Manager software for my NB200-123 netbook, and they don't appear to work in Windows 7.
When I start the Toshiba Wireless Manager software now (version 6.3.1.101), it starts for a split second, then Windows 7 immediately pops up a dialog box saying:
"Wireless Manager has stopped working"
(I used to have the older XP drivers partly working, though they had the problem that if you hibernated the netbook, the next time you opened the Toshiba Wireless Manager software, it would freeze at the point where it said, "opening driver", and it would never come back)
I've currently got the following versions:
Toshiba F3507g Mobile Broadband Device - (from Toshiba) version 4.54.7103.1, dated 26/6/2009
Toshiba F3507g Mobile Broadband Network Adapter - (from Ericsson) version 1.0.0.52, dated 29/7/2009
Has anyone else managed to get this working on their NB200-123 with Windows 7? I'm wondering if I have a bad driver version somewhere?
I can't imagine that Toshiba would have rolled this out without testing it, so I must have something misconfigured somewhere.
Best
Rob

Ok, this does appear to be related to some kind of failed access to a .NET library. Whenever I try to launch any of the Toshiba applications, it fails immediately, and I get the following Application Event error in the event log. Note that the reference is to CLR20r3, which has to do with .NET I understand. mscorlib, referenced below, is definitely a .NET library.
Now, I know that this is supposed to be running on .NET 3.5 sp1, but I'm on Windows 7, and that includes .NET 3.5 sp1, and furthermore I've run tests on the OS to determine the .NET version(s) installed, and I've definitely got .NET 3.5 sp1 installed. So why am I getting this error?

Hp 250 G3 vga drivers dont work & and camera software

Hello there, I have a brand new HP 250 G3 with no Os. I have intalled the vga drivers but i dont think that they are compatitive with my device.Also when i try to open youcam software to open my webcamera it says " you do not have compatible vga hardware or driver to run youcam. Please any help with my vga drivers?I cant even play the stock card games of win7 cause of my vga. Celeron N2840 Thanks.

You're very welcome. Unfortunately, I don't know what you need to do about that. I always thought all you needed was the graphics driver and cyberlink youcam software to work the webcam. The only suggestion I can offer would be to see if installing the HP Universal Camera driver gets the webcam to work. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_132495_1#tab1

Hi,
unfortunately this VGA BIOS is not available separately for a mobile system since the VGA BIOS is embedded in the normal BIOS. So if you want to have the latest from toshiba supported VGA BIOS then just update your machines BIOS.
The problem is that a mobile VGA chipset has another memory and chip timings, so every manufacturer has (especially) its own version of the VGA BIOS.

Have you tried OS repair or reinstall?
do you use latest vga drivers from msi web for your notebook?

MSI GT70 2OC Questions (Unlocked Bios, upgrade VGA drivers)

Hi Iam looking for some answers, from what I saw, there are few really awesome helping people here. So Hi to everyone!
AS I noticed there is no GT70 2OC topic here, so there is now. I will update infos How-to´s and other stuff for everyone that have this revision.
1. Update VGA drivers, Set as default there is nvidia optimus (Intel+nvidia switching mode)
Pros: Battery life
Cons: Faulty switching in some games, just sporadic driver support, 2 VGA drivers at once couse problems with CAD applications and some older games.
Comment: Iam using this as Hi-end mobile solution for work and games, extra 4th hour of battery live comes as real nonsense to me in exchange for ale the troubles.
Possible solution: Unlocking hidden/advanced BIOS options should reveal control for wheter to swithing mode od discrete graphics only. Setting it to discrete graphics only would mean no driver troubles slightly better performance and most importanly possibilyty of regular VGA driver updates from nvidia.
I already send PM to Svet about unlocking bios. But Iam still asking any ideas anyone?

Sadly most of those concerns aren't really valid.
While I have the old GT70 0NE, even on this unit there were no issues ever getting any program (be it Autocad/Solidworks/whatever you like, or games either, even if they were older) to work with the card(s) properly. It's all a matter of making it do what you want, which is actually handled rather well by the drivers. Optimus is much better than it was a while ago, and it functions very well now.
While your your point of just making it default to the NVidia card is valid, it's a very moot point. Every program I've tried (be it 10+ year old games even from the mid-90's, to even the most recent applications and games) works just fine. Again, it's all in how you make the driver work. If you tell it to use the NVidia card when you run this program, it'll work.
I wouldn't worry about making it use only the NVidia card exclusively, it really isn't worth the effort. While it is possible, it's much more difficult than one would think....
