Major headaches with MSI FX5500 TD256 card...

        
Hello all,
I recently purchased an MSI FX5500 TD256..now my system keeps rebooting and often suffers from screen freeze.  I can access the internet and stay connected all day with no problems....but as soon as I try to play an online game such as City Of Heroes...reboot.
I have already installed the newest bios/mobo drivers and any other updates recommended by the program:  Everest. 
I have tried numerous drivers from both MSI site and Nvidia site.  (Cleaning after each re-install of these with Driver Cleaner Pro as to avoid any possible conflicts.)
I even re-installed OS (WinXP/Home) twice.  (after formatting HD of course).
I have used DocMem to check the ram...ram checked out ok.
I am at my wits end....if anyone has any ideas...solutions..plz help....not much hair left  (grabs handfull and begins to pull)...
I have a rar file (mini dump file of the error and Everest report on my system)...is it possible to post these?
The system is roughly 2---2 1/2 yrs old.  (Self built and havent had any serious probs with it until this card.)  oddly enough...the card doesnt appear faulty...
Also...Everest reports CPU temp is 120F.   But there are 6 fans installed and mobo/CPU  cooler are (mostly) clean.
Any help would be appreciated. 
Thnxs.
Azreil.

  • MSI FX5500-TD256 fix possible?

    Hello, I have a big prob with my agp card (MSI FX5500-TD256)...I use to have a PNY GeForce MX440 installed...and that worked great..but when I upgraded to the 5500...my Pc reboots on high graphic games (IE: Dungeon Seige2...Diablo2..even..Ultima Online).  I have Win XP Pro. (Not 64bit)...I do not have any service pack installed.  I have DirectX 9.0c....my PSU is 450Watts.  I have downloaded the newest MSI drivers (that didnt correct the prob).  I rolled back driver to the one that came with the 5500 card (7.7.7.2version)...I am totally stumped.  Plz..if anyone knows how to correct this graphic nightmare....I would really appreciate any help.  Thnxs much,
    Rubix.

    Okies...I went to the ECS website and look for updates on my mobo.  They have issued a bios update..which is suppose to fix a known issue with my particular board and NVidia chipsets.  The update is suppose to be burnt to a floppy and read in dos upon restart.  My Pc hangs on posting saying "invalid system disk" until the floppy is removed.

    Is the MSI FX5500-TD256 compatable with 4x as well?

    Stephen,
    All 8x Vid Cards work with all 8x and 4x Mobos. All 8x Mobos work with all 8x and 4x Vid Cards.

  • More pgms working with MSI TV-tuner card(s)

    There is a couple more programs I found that work fairly nice with the older MSI TV-tuner card and the newer Master TV-tuner card.  They are:  Intervideo WINDVD Creator and Intervideo Home Theater.  Both have free 30 trial dowloads at http://www.intervideo.com.  If I use these two softwares and Ulead Video Studio 7, I can pretty much accomplish every thing I could ever ask for with my MSI TV-tuner card.   I just wish all the features were consolidated into one software.

    Sure, here is my hardware specs:
    CPU #1
    Asus a7n8x  2.5GHZ with 512MG 400HZ mem
    MSI TV-tuner (master)
    Windows XP
    CPU #2
    Asus a7v 1.4GHZ with 650MG mem
    MSI TV-tuner (older)
    Windows XP
    Note: I don't use the tuner and scheduler since I use S-video inputs from my Timewarner Pioneer HTDV setbox.  I did, for fun hook up a coax to my MSI TV-tuner card and scanned for ports using these newer softwares from Intervideo, but they did not correctly scan the digital and HDTV channels and only scanned the old analog channels.  I tried for fun to schedule some analog channels for record, but it did not work properly for me.  This is not a big deal to me since, the tuner and scheduler is not something that interest me, like most folks.  And since, I don't use the tuner and scheduler features, I immediately de-installed MSIPVS from both systems since the Intervideo products, especially the WINDVD creator does a much finer job then the old MSIPVS software that MSI keeps bundling with their TV-tuner card.  Also, I thought it was cool that the Intervideo WINDVD product allows a person to create huge jpg/gif/bmp slide shows on a DVD without the limitations (total 1900 or something close to this) on VCD's.  But, you have to create them using the mpeg2 format, by cliicking on the icon toward bottom and then using the author to create the vobs, etc from the mpeg2's.  Anyways, all other softwares, I have tried for this crapped out big time.  Sorry, I can't help the tuner/remote probs, but I think conio and some others have a better handle on it then me.

  • New MSI 6200 TD256 card in a KT4 Ultra (via) board,no boot, no page, help please

    Hello.
    just bought a new MSI Nvidia 6200 TD256  (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127186) and I put it in my KT4 Ultra board (via chipset).  I am using the newest bios (1.4) and Via 4in1 chipset drivers. 
    What happens is when I boot the machine, everything starts up, but I get no PAGE and the D-Bracket is hung at the "testing VGA bios this will print ..." (thats what it says in the manual).
    Now, I've done the best I can to research this issue, but best I can guess is this is a bad card and I should just return it for a replacement... the card does look fine, I see no physical damage and it seemed to be properly shipped. I did read that kt4 boards don't support 3.3v AGP cards... but I'm not really sure what that means.
    Anyways, if anyone has any insight on something I should try before I have to go through the return process that would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    -Cody

    And did you uninstall old V.card before installing new ?
    if it doesnt get to windows, that doesnt matter.

    I'm using a good PSU 350w atm, and I did check it in another good system...turns out its a bad card.
    ok then its clear its a bad card.

  • Major problems with MSI software.

    when i first got my motherboard i put in the cd and installed the MSI pc alert 3 and fuzzy logic 3.  pc alert 3 ran fine and since ive upgraded to 4.  but fuzzy logic gave me a load rushtop NT driver failed.  so i uninstalled it, then upgraded to fuzzy logic 4.  got the load rushtop error again, so i got the newest verion today.  got the rushtop NT driver message.  so i uninstalled it, then went into regedit and searched for fuzzy and deleted every fuzzy key i found.  i rebooted and loaded up fuzzy logic 4 and ran it.  i got a new error message, Load NT hardware Monitor failed.  so i got creative and copied the GLM7x.sys file from my pc alert 4 to my fuzzy logic 4.  i ran fuzzy logic 4 and it started up fine, i looked at the values and they were all blank or 0's and it tried telling me i had a p3 processor.  i uninstalled it again.  then my pc alert 4 stopped working, so i uninstalled it, then reinstalled and now the pc alert screen pops up and it runs but all the values are empty.  anyone know of ways to fix this problem, and/or get fuzzy logic 4 to work?  if not, do you know of any good software overclockers that work with 645 boards and windows XP Pro SP1?

    yeah it gives you an error that says pc alert or fuzzy logic is already running. i think it has to do with that thier system monitoring driver 'GLM7X.sys' is the same in both, but they are different sizes.  this maybe but the problem.  nonetheless i got pc alert 4 running again, just mysteriously started working.  went in and over clocked the fsb to 120.  now i have a 2.4. buti am concerned as this makes the ram and bus to everything else much faster.  the only thing thats really rated to o'c is the northwood. so what im wondering and why i am focusing on fuzzy logic as it allows you to do this, but to set the multiplier higher.  that way only the CPU o'cs and theres not such a danger of $400+ worth of ram, and $150 board along with a $175 processor going up in smoke, instead it would just be the proc.  any suggestions on ocing the multipler?  i know microshaft / intel stopped allowing you to o'c the multiplier, i know some software has this ability...

  • Problem with MSI FX5500 256TD

    When I run 3dturbo experience.  It not show  vga temp,voltage and speed fan      Can anyone tell me about this?? 

    relax. The most common issue that couses writers not be able write at full speed is the DMA setting. Make sure that u have DMA enabled. go to your device manager -->IDE/ATAPI controllers and make sure the IDE channel that your drive is connected is DMA enabled. Also make sure that u have connected your drives as "MASTER" in the IDE bus.
    also make sure that the disks u are using are validated for 48x speed. Try using other media brand.

  • FX5500 -TD256 instalation problems

    After the fan on my FX5200 giving up the ghost, I bought a MSI FX5500-TD256, once the card was installed I reinstalled the NVIDIA 71.84 drivers that I was using previously.
    at the end of the instalation process the error 'the parameter is incorrect' is displayed (gee thanks for the precise error message Bill). Since then I have spent 2 evenings removing and installing all versions of NVIDIA and MSI drivers that I can get my hands on, using driver cleaner to ensure complete removal each time.
    I've searched the internet and all I can find problems that are solved with updating to new drivers, when I am using the up to date drivers
    I have even re-installed my old card and that is coming up with the same error, so I guess that it is a driver problem, but I'm rapidly pulling my hair out over this one and I really don't want to clean instal my OS until I have explored every other possibility

    Quote from: Kafkacell on 23-June-05, 17:34:43
    Try installing first Via 4 in 1 driver pack, and later install the new drivers, and I will recommend to use the Nvidia drivers.
    Thanks Kafkacell, I've now tried that and it still comes up with the same problem
    Quote from: Kafkacell on 24-June-05, 00:45:35
    Try nvidia drivers, you can choose from the  nvidia FTP: ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/ 
    Thanks again Kafkacell, I have tried 45.23 through to 71.84 over the last couple of nights.
    I was running nvidia 71.84 quite happily with my old card prior to the instalation of the new card, but my old card will not work with any drivers now, I am going bald with frustration with this now

  • Cant install FX5500-TD256-TD128

    Hello, everyone.
    If anyone could help...
    I just installed my FX5500, but Windows XP wont recognize it, and installing the drivers, both from nVidia or Liveupdate wont do any better.
    WinXP also wont find the drivers automatically, even if I point to the installation CD.
    All I get in Device Manger is Video Controller - VGA Compatible.
    System specs: MSI FX5500 TD256/128 bits, Pentium 4 2.4Ghz, 768 MB DDR RAM, mobo ASUS P4S533, Windows XP SP2, trying to install with latest Detonator drivers from nvidia.
    What should I do?
    Thanks

    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!
    Try uninstall the old driver. Then install the new card, then the new driver.

  • Voltage on FX5500 TD256

    Hello,
         I have a MSI FX5500 TD256 (8911 VER 330) AGP video card.
    My MB has taken a crap on me, and now I am searching for a new one. Some MB's are stating that they will except vga of 1.5v only.
    I can not find the voltage info any where on the specs of this card.
    Can anybody tell me, will this card work in a MB that uses only 1.5v
    Thanks in advance for you time and help,
    Dave

    It was a shuttle MK35/N it only had 4X/AGP. I bought this card because it was backwards compatible to fit my MB. Now I need a new MB, but I am only going to buy one that has 8X. That way I should benefit a little more out of the card.
    TY for that fast reply,
    Dave

  • MSI FX5600-TD256 (256mb card)

    Hi,
    My pc spec is like following,
    Pentium 1.8A ghz
    256DDr ram,
    Asus motherboard P4B533,
    And Geforce 4 mx 440 64 mb card, etc.
    I wish to upgrade my graphic card, so i want to buy MSI FX5600-TD256 model.
    It is my computer(motherboard)support this graphic card?
    AlSo it is any different between MSI geforceFx5600 128mb and MSI geforceFx5600 256MB?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I wouldn't even buy the FX5600, because as you can read nside this formum, there are lots of big problems with this card and the drivers.
    I installed the card first in an win XP system, but could not get any newer game to run (e.g. age of mythology, morrowind, rise of nations, freelancer....)
    Afterwards after my cpu died I instaled the card in an windows 2000 server system, and I still have exactly the same problem. 1 minute after starting the game the system crashes and starts write a memory dump.
    Tried miniport driver update, tried driver update, tried driver cleaner, nothing helped so far.
    My advice you should buy a graphic card that is known to have a working properly driver, e.g. as OpT1kN3rv told the Ti4800
    regards

  • CAn I use MSI Tv-Out card with my ASUS

    Asus has no optional Tv-out card or sth like that.(I'm using the ob GF2MX)
    Can I use the MSI tv-out card with my Asus a7n266-vm or it is just for MSI nforces.
    Here in Turkey it is 17US$+VAT.Is is high or normal?

    Hi...I did a little price search on internet before, for msi`s tv-out card...Its even selling with a price of 22$ in usa...So Turkey`s price is good....But I dont have any idea about it works in asus boards or not....But My friend bought the addon card for his msi board and It doesnt have any markings like it only works in msi boards n its manual....I think ıt should be work on other nforce boards....Just a reminder...He is unhappy with the tv-out adon card...because somehow detonators detect it but doesnt lets you play with tv-out settings in advance display settings section....You got tv-out screen , nothing more....No output on start-up the computer(Post section)....Only with windows....You need programs like tv tool for tweak its settings...

  • This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

    Hello my name is James king.
    and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570  reference card.
    (5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play  Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing  throughout the night, to no avail.
    (5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards.                 at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call      and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online.                    and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
    (5/29/12)  i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
    (6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label.

    (6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
    (6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup. 
    and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

  • MSI Lighning 7970 card 2560x1440 problem (with DELL U2711)

    Hello. I have trouble with my display and 2xMSI 7970 Lighning graphic cards. Could someone help me?
    Configuration:
    Core i7 2600K running on gigabyte P8Z68-V motherboard with J.3603 BIOS
    2 MSI Lighning 7970 cards without crossfire connector inserted (I don’t need crossfire for gaming – just multimonitor configuration for graphics).
    The BIOSes of the cads are the same-from-the-box and was identified like MSI.HD7970.3072.120411.rom in the GPU-Z database.
    The numbers in the GPU-Z’s “BIOS Version” is 015.013.000.010.000000 (113-AD40900-X01)
    The BIOS numbers in the MSI Live Update  is TV278MS.102
    And the serial numbers from the stickers of the card’s boxes are:
    602-V278-02SB1204058976 and 602-V278-02SB1205129844
    All stuff running on Win8.1x64 system.
    I have 3 displays: 2 of them are Samsung 245T running 1920x1200 and the last one (the new one) is DELL U2711 (witch is capable for running 2560x1440 resolution).
    Now, THE PROBLEM.
    When I running 2-displays configuration (2xSamsung 245T connected via DVI) there are no any problems at all: all works fine. The problem with the 3d display and it’s 2560x1440 resolution. I tried different cables and both cards, but display couldn’t run correctly.
    1)   It is running fine but ONLY 1920x1080 resolution when connected via DVI. There is no 2560x1440 settings at all in windows system then. I tried both cards and both DVI-ports, also I tried different DVI cables. No matter. It’s only 1920x1080. The drivers for the display panel was installed from the dell’s official site and the’re latest (as I could see..)
    2)   When I tried to connect the display via DisplayPort cable to my cards (no matter which of them or which of 4 display port’s connector on each card) it COULD RUN AT ALL. Usually the display showing up correctly with the right resolution (2560) but the screen is blank (black). After some time monitor goes to the suspend mode.
    From time to time display could shows some desktop with terrible quality (I get the photos of it) for 2-3 second and then it’s blank again.
    Also when connected I get the error “DisplayPort Lower setting applied” from time to time.
    3) I have tried some DVI-Displayport adapters (witch was in the box with the MSI cards) and the result is the same as in 1) - only 1920x1080 resolution...
    The display is fine and it works perfectly on another system (without MSI cards). What’s the problem? Should I upgrade BIOS or something to work in 2560x1440? Thank you.

    the poor quality of the screen (when it shows up for 1-3 seconds with DisplayPort connection)
