Mega 651 with 7600gs graphic problem...

after some research in the forum i finally decided to get myself upgrade for gigabyte 7600gs agp and 1 gb ddr pc3200(2x512mb elixir pair match)...
here is the problem comes... the card work flawless in window (even in windows vista RC2 with AERO)... but when come to gaming, it starts giving Visual artifacts after few minutes of game loads (every game that i had, HL2, warhammer 40k, NFS:MW... start off fine but only for 1~2 mins before the game crashes) , i never had any problem with my old FX5200 with these games.
my PSU was fsp250-60ms (replacement of my original 1), and as far as i know 7600gs consume less power than 6600gt so i assume the power requirement isn't the issue... to proof that, i even connect the card with a spare PSU i had externally and the problem remains. i even disable AGP fast write and increase AGP appreture to 256 in bios option... memory CAS is set to 2.5T
please i need help....

thanks for the fast reply guys...
to Stu: i would do if i could, unfortunately most of my friend owns laptops, even those with desktop they uses PCI-e, they keep teasing me about my upgrade now...
to Kane81: i have a blower sitting beside the card and when i do the test i take the case off... i had my pc on for hours (watching movies, some office work etc) without problem...
i browse through Nvidia forum and found that there is some compatibility issue between SIS base board with 6600gt agp (artifacts, ramdom crashes... similiar to my case)... thus i tried the methods provided by them (upgrading agp driver, disable fastwrite etc) and still doesn't help...
any other have experiance like this before with 6600gt in their megapc series? if do, how would you solve this matter... ur experiance might be valuable to me... please help....
p/s: i got my card (brand New) from ebay (i check the box, is never been open, never been used before when i receive it), is there anyway to contact gigabyte about the warranty issue?

Mega 651 TV-Out card problem

Hi freakz,
i have a Mega 651 with the original MSI TV-OUT card, but I don´t get any picture onto my TV.
I´ve already reinstalled the diasplay drivers. In windows I can´t find any configuration for the TV-out.
In the bios I´ve tested all settings.
My TV is switched on, so the card should recognize it.
Does anybody have the same card working? When does the picture appear on the TV screen? at the bios booting or at the Windows screen?
Which resolutions should I choose? I´ve tried 800x600 and 1024&768. Nothing.
Perhaps the card is broken, but first I will try everything so I can get shure.
Please... Can anybody help me with my problem or give me tips?
Thanx
Alex

Hi,
first of all, be sure I have tried everything, other cables (even shorter ones), ....
It´s the add on card for the Mega 651 which has a composite and a S-video plug.
I work with the chinch composite output.
In the bios I can choose between TV, CRT, or both.
Even if I only connect the TV, nothing appears on it.
Should I see the POST screen on the TV, or first when the display driver has been initialised?

Poor sound on a MSI MEGA 651 with realtek acl650

Good afternoon,
I am trying to bulid a MCE pc on a MSI MEGA 651.
I am having problems with the sound.
I have download the latest drivers from Realtek and even thought my MSI is producing terible sound when connected to my HIFI appliance.
Added to that my rear right speaker is too low.
I am using the analog 5.1 outputs from the box.
Any proposals ?
Thanks
Elias

What xmad is trying to get as information is the 'complete' name of the mainboard. Z87m is not good enough. Also, more information about the other systems components including specifics of the RAM, brand, rated speed, and the PSU brand and description. For now, test with just a single RAM stick.

Mega 180 and onboard graphics problems!

Problem is this:
Primary graphics output of my Mega 180 is only displaying in Green, the secondary output is blurred and too bright, no amount of altering settings and installing drivers changes this situation.
Any suggestions.

To isolate the problem you should try a different VGA cable and a different monitor.
If those don't help then the problem is with the computer.
Try unplugging it from the wall wait 10 seconds and plug it back in... This is kind of a cure all for many mega 180 ills.
The onboard graphics uses system memory. How much is allocated to it in BIOS. 128 MB is recommended for most home theater types of applications.
Have you tried resetting the BIOS settings to all defaults ?
If you've done all these things and nothing helps it sounds like the board may be bad.

Stange display with CS4 - Graphic problem

Hi,
I installed the trial version of Photoshop CS4. I have, however, a strange problem. All images are displayed like in my uploaded picture. I am sure that my graphic driver has the latest updates, and I have never encountert any problem with my system or with previous versions of Photoshop. What's going on here. My color profile is at default (North Am. General Purposes) and the Color managment is turned off.
Patrick

You need to update to Version 11.0.1
And update you video card drivers.
Also it looks as if you have the grid turned on.
Further information that would be helpful would include:
OS version
system specs, video card
scratch disk size

G570 with AMD graphics problem

Hello
I have a problem with my Lenovo G570 laptop with AMD HD 6730M graphics card. There were some problems with it almost from begining, but bearable so I managed to live with it (some BSODs during games, or just from nothing and screen turning black). I have never found the answer for those, so I was just installing latest graphics drivers from AMD site (those on Lenovo site I have never managed to finish installation). And those new driver was quiet good, they havent stop BSODs but when screen disappeared, they was able to restore it without computer reset, so i worked with them through about 2 years. But now after one BSOD my laptop screen couldnt turn on when I started laptop ;/ but system was working. So I used external monitor to see whats happening and after loading Windows 7 there was always BSOD, also some strange vertical red signs showed on the screen (like plenty of red letters "S" or "C"). BSODs was usually coused by atikmpag.sys file so I went to emergency mode and uninstalled GPU drivers which seemed to solve the problem, couse laptop screen came back and Win7 started on normal mode, then I installed drivers back. It was working about 2 weeks and then crashed again and latest solution wasnt working this time. I tried also disc C format and installing old drivers from Lenovo site but with no satisfying results. I managed to wake up the screen by holding starting button 30sec with no energy source, then turning on with AC adapter, but with drivers installed there are still BSODs on wn7 start, but sometimes win7 starts and then GPU keeps reseting with strange screen defects. There was also some starts when win7 was working perfectly but after turning off it crashed again.
I know that this problem is quite complicated, but it has moments when works totally normal, so I dont know is it all I could do myself or maybe there is any solution? In other case I'll go to service ;/

Hello Ady,
As you have already updated the graphic driver and still the issue persist then you kindly update the BIOS and check the issue.

Please help me with turtle graphics problem

I'm trying to draw a right triangle using turtle graphics, but I keep getting an error that says "incompatible types"(In class NewShape where it says "Pen p = new StandardPen();"). I have an idea of what that means generally, but I can't figure out why it is coming. Also, I'm not certain that my program will work because I have not yet been able to successfully run it (because of the error) so if you see anything else wrong please point it out.
PROJECT:
import TurtleGraphics.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.util.*;
public class NewShape {
public static void main(String[] args) {
     Pen p = new StandardPen(); //Error is occurring here
     RightTriangle rt1 = new RightTriangle(10,20,30,40);
     rt1.draw(p);
import TurtleGraphics.*;
import java.awt.Color;
public class RightTriangle implements Shape{
     private int xPos, yPos;
     private double length, width;
     public RightTriangle(){
          this(0,0,0,0);
     public RightTriangle(int xLoc, int yLoc, double l, double w){
          xPos = xLoc;
          yPos = yLoc;
          length = l;
          width = w;
     public void draw(Pen p){
          p.up();
          p.move(xPos,yPos);
          p.down();
          p.move(xPos,yPos+length);
          p.move(xPos+width,yPos);
          p.move(xPos,yPos);
          p.up();

Does StandardPen extend or implement Pen?

MEGA 651 dual display?

Hi,
My setup is MEGA 651 with AIW ATI Radeon 8500, Win XP. As a monitor I am using Sony Grand Wega 42" LCD TV. Works great. I am using 2 connections from my video card, one is S-Video (display is somewhat blurry) and DVI (very sharp and looks like screen of a laptop). My tv allows to choose to display from different sources and those 2 connections are treated as such.
The limitation is I can only use 640X480 resolution, which is fine for movies, internet (wish I could have better resolution here).
Few days ago I got game SIMS for my kids with few expansion packs. Problem now is that they can not START the game with the resolution of 640X480, the minimum for the game is 800X600.
I found a temporary solution to use a regular monitor to start the game (I unplug DVI connector from tv and plug a regular 17" monitor into the video card), and then I switch the S-Video source on my tv to play it.
I tried to find any info if tv can support more that 640X480 but non found. If I switch to higher resolution I can not boot or if I boot in Safe Mode screen goes nuts until I reset to lower. Another option is to leave second monitor, but to use onboard VGA connector, but I can not find any info how I can use both AGP and onboard video simultaniously. Is there setting in the BIOS to enable. it seems that onboard video works only if there is no other video card installed.
Thank you for help.

you can only use onboard VGA or VGA card in AGP slot - you cannot use both
have you checked for any updated drivers for your video card? i use a Geforce FX5200 in my Mega 651 for TV-out, and I can select up to 1024x768 for TV resolution (though obviously its not a really useable resolution on my CRT TV, connected with composite video) though i prefer to leave it at 800x600

if you are only using one display (your 42" Wega ) then i don't understand why you need to have both types of connections connected to it. if the Sony has a DVI input, that is the only option you should use, as even s-video is inferior to that by a mile

AGP TV tuner on Mega 651

I have just got hold of a mega 651 with a P4 2.4, I was looking to install an AGP tv tuner such as this one leaving the PCI slot free for a wire less card. Has anybody had any experience of this sort of setup, or would I be best to use a PCI tv tuner, and USB wireless adaptor. I don't need the graphics card features, only really doing it for neatness, and already have a PCI wireless card. Thanks for your time.

Stu's hit it on the head with this. Go for a good USB2 external unit, make sure you read reviews and buy a USB2 as most of the USB1.1 devices can't transfer data quit enough given a picture.
Look for a good remote, good software.
I have a transcend USB2 TV - Box , good picture but remote isn't the best.
reasons to do this
heat in the PC and being an external box it doesn't get as much interference

Mega 651:Why not 1 single receiver for all ?

I have a Mega 651 with Celron 2,6 Ghz. proc. in it.
Also Maxtor 120 Gb harddisk 7200 rpm.
I use the internal Sis VGA card.
With 512 DDR 2 ram
Included is 1 IR transmitter (gris color).
I bought also a MSI TV @nywhere Master card. With IR transmitter and IR receiving eye included.
Why am I NOT able to use the internal IR receiver eye that is build in the Mega 651 for controlling my TV from Intervideo MSIPVS??
Why do I need to place the add. IR receiver eye. The one that comes with my TV tuner card?
Is there no way I can control my TV with my IR control from my Mega 651 and with the INTERNAL IR eye in my Mega PC?

Problems with NEW MEGA 651 PC

Put the MEGA 651 together today. The heat sink /cooler was a pain in the butt to get installed but finally got it. Also purchased the MSI DVD/CDRW Drive since a disclaimer on the box said other brands may not work... ok.
Installed it all and guess what. Yep the MSI CD unit doesnt open the door cause it hits the case! Not only that but the MSI CD Eject button in behind and below the cutout making it almost impossible to even attempt to get the cd tray to eject! Then the damn thing bounces off my finger pushing the eject button and goes back in. If I push the button with a pencil the tray comes out 3/8" and hits the side of the case cause the cutout doesnt line up.... Now thats planning! Not to mention I wonder what happens when it finally comes out and you put a cd in it. It goes back in does it SNAG the spring loaded door and jam or does it scratch the cd in the drive?
It seems to me I need to remove the door and drill a 1/4" hole in the case so I can put something in there to press the eject button.
Also the green light on the card reader and the clock stays displayed after I turn the PC off. Also there is still power to the NUMLOCK light on the keyboard so I ASSUME it is NOT TURNING ALL THE WAY OFF.
I haven't got a chance to install an OS yet since I have to resolve the CD issue before I can even get a CD in the thing.
On a positive not I like the radio at least it works!
Im soooo confused....
:-?

That's strange that it hits the case. I bet you have it mounted wrong. Try moving it forwards/backwards in the case until it ejects correctly. I had mine too close to the door and it wouldn't open... moving it back solved the problem.
Now, I don't own a 651, but if it's like the 865, then you don't push the button that's located on the CD Player, instead you push the eject button on the computer case itself.

Mega 651 AGP Video Card Init Problem

Hello all, I've got a great Mega 651 that I've used off and on for a couple of years for "light" office work. I've been trying to install a Radeon 9600 AGP card with not much success. On the initial install the card had output and I installed the catalyst drivers. Upon reboot the card no longer functions. I then removed the card, and installed agp121 I saw from a different post, reinstalled card and all was well until I shut down and restarted then the card was not working again and only the onboard was. Any thoughts?

I installed the correct Mhz cpu a 2.66 533 and the system is running stable, so I reinstalled the graphics card, and all was well for about 1 hour, then my monitor displayed a "no signal" and the system reverted back to the onboard VGA. Anyone experienced anything like this before? I'm wondering if the graphics card is bad (bought it used). Is there any hardware way to disable the onboard VGA (like jumper or something)? Thanks

MEGA 651 problems-Help!

MEGA 651(Purchased 20th July 2004)
512Mb DDR 3200RAM
2.4Gig Celeron processor
Seagate 7200 120GB HArddisk
Leadtek A180 128MB DDR Grapics Card
Sony CD Witer
Window XP Home Edition.
I have several problems with it-
If I select anything other than safe mod in the BIOS it will not start up.
It intermitantly give me a BIOS Checksum Error, and I have to reset the Bios to make it boot.
Every time it Boots it sendsa 'This system has recovered from a serious error message to Microsoft'
It is generally very slow and applications keep 'hanging' which forces me to use task manage
I have flashed the BIOS with the latest code to try to resolve the issues, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any thoughts??? Please help is getting silly now!

sorry i misread your original post - yes it does sound like memory issue, and i think we've seen something like this before
suggestion:
In BIOS menu,
under Advanced Chipset > Advanced DRAM Control
set System Performance to Normal
under Frequency/Voltage control
set DRAM frequency to 333MHz (speed of PC2700)
this should force the system to operate the memory at PC2700 speed, and hopefully will cure the problem - as the memory clock is operating at the same speed as the cpu fsb, which is the most stable condition
let us know how you get on - if that doesn't work, I would recommend getting a PC2700 stick of ram thats NOT corsair, i seem to remember some other users having problems with this brand - i'm using crucial pc2700 and thats fine (runs System Performance at Fast!)

Mega 651 sound problem

My sound refuses to work. I've got the newest drivers and xp
says that it works fine but theres no sound.
I've got a ordinary power supply, not the one that came with the mega 651.
so i dont have the small black, brown, purple cable. Can it be the problem?

I'm having a similar problem.
It's amazing really, it's one sodding thing after another. I now have my Mega 651 back to perfect running order after months and months of niggly little problems, I think I *finally* have the thing sorted, and now...NO SOUND. The speakers and amp work perfectly (I have tested this) and I have even fitted a brand new soundcard...but nothing.
Any suggestions as to where to start looking please?

SPDIF Problem on MEGA 651

Hi Guys, I'm having a problem with the SPDIF output on my Mega 651.
It's going into a Philips LX700 5.1 Amp.
I have used this successfully with a number of other SPDIF products (Shutle SN45G, Soundblaster Card)
With the MRGA 651 you loose the first 1 second or do of the sound. i.e. when you adjust the volume in XP with the volume slider on the taskbar you normally hear a beep. I can't hear anything. When you play a mp3 or video etc it cuts the first second or so off and then plays fine.
It's like it's not syncing or something. When you swap the feed from the Mega to the Shuttle, it's fine......
Have updated to the laters drivers from MSI...
Any ideas?
Cheers

If it is straight out of the box then run your processor up and get it warm. The standard thermal paste (pre on heatsink stuff) is more of a wax and it melts, warming up a processor can help taking the heatsink off in some cases, as long as you have undone the screws and clips
