A vbios update does not help in 90% of cases. Run the Gaming APP in OC or Gaming mode and see if that helps: http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip
If not add S/N and save the current vbios to file, upload it to some file hoster and add link here. If not allowed to post links yet, mask it by XX at beginning and end (e.g. XXlink.comXX)

Problem installing / using MSI R9 270X 2GB Gaming card

I am a newbie here. I have just built my new PC, but I can't seem to get my MSI R9 270X card to install and work. I am not sure if this is a motherboard or graphics card problem. I know a little to build the PC, but I am not expert. So help would be great.
This is the spec of the PC:
Asus Z87 Pro motherboard
Intel i7 4770K CPU
Corsair Vengence 16 GB DDR3 (CML16GX3M2A1600C9)
Samsung SSD Pro 256GB System drive
Western Digital Black 2TB media drive
Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 650W PSU
Lycom Firewire card (PCIe x1_4)
Plextor BD/DVD
Windows 7 Pro x64
So when built, last week, everything seems to work OK. Then I was using the Intel GPU, but I need a graphics card for video editing. I am not a gaming user. The Asus motherboard reports a post BIOS Q code of "A0".
To the best of my knowledge I have the latest BIOS and Windows updates and drivers.
I have put the MSI graphics card into the PCIe x16_1 slot. I have made sure it is seated well and that the 2 power cables are connected to the PSU (20A @12V)
When booting up the PC the BIOS "bleeps" several times and I get an error message saying that "The memory address is insufficient due to Intel Thunderbolt resource consumption". The motherboard does not have Thunderbolt as far as I know. That PCI slot is shared with ECHI#1.
Somehow, I got the card to install yesterday without that message. I installed the latest AMD driver 12.13, but the Catalyst Control Center did not show up. The MSI card showed in Device Manager as working with no conflicts. The MSI Utility showed the Core Clock working at 300MHz, which seems very slow.
I have tried re-installing, but still no luck and today got the BIOS message back and it would not go past that message. I have removed the graphics card for the time being so I can use the PC.
So I am not sure if this is a motherboard issue, or a faulty graphics card or my fault?
It seems crazy if you can't have a graphics card and other motherboard resources switched on. Someone has suggested turning off the built in WiFi and Bluetooth controller. I have not tried that yet because I need them.
Any help appreciated.
This is my first post here and can't find a way to attach a screen shot to help. Is that possible?

Thank you for the reply.
I cleared the CMOS by using the motherboard jumper. I did not remove the battery.....I hope that is OK.
I removed the Firewire card. This did not have a power cable connected to it. I assume that might be OK as I am only using it to capture DV from my camera. It was in a PCI slot that was not shared with the graphics card though. I do need this card to be working if at all possible?
I re-booted and entered the BIOS. The clock had not cleared but everything else seemed to be back to default.
I powered down and fitted the MSI graphics card.....it passed the BIOS OK. I had previously removed all traces of AMD/ATI by un-installing and manual removing from folders and registry.
I then installed the latest driver and Catalyst Control Center. The log file said everything passed, but the CCC still does not show up. Any idea what could be happnening here?
So far, so good but since I need this PC for my editing, what should I do about the Firewire card?
P.S. I also need the Intel GPU to be used as well for Quicksync use. I assume i will have to reset that in the BIOS?

Black screen when MSI driver is installed (MSI R9 270X 2GB )

Bought new computer and everything worked fine until couple of days ago ..
can pull some info ..

Everything worked fine even with the drivers that are there now but one day the screen started to fluttering and act strangely then windows crashes. I rebooted then when I want to log in or when the login page will show I only got black screen...
Reboot again ... go into " safe mode " ... screen works with standard VGA ... uninstall the drivers for the MSI card ( msi.com ) ... restart ... everything works .
However, it goes on the standard VGA but as soon as I install the drivers, I get the same problem ....
What has happened?
Got NO clue right now .. drivers worked before , I haven't updated them since I installed them (3weeks ago) I have not done anything that I can think of ..
Are grateful for answers!

I have the same problem. Updated driver to 13.11 beta was running my MSI 2GB r9 270x for 3 days got it on the 24th and today after a system reboot the windows screen appears to load then goes to black. I started safe mode, uninstalled the ati graphics drivers, rebooted and windows booted fine. Reinstalled the lastest 13.12 driver and rebooted to the black screen again.
Specs:
Board: P7P55D Asus
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M850 @ 850 W output SINGLE 12V channel at 66A
VCard: R9 270x MSI 2G
Proccessor: intel i5 750 @ 2.66 GHZ
Did not overclock the video card or touch the voltages, tried VBIOS updates to fixed the screen flicker and it worked find the flicker dissapeared after the this new black screen problem happened i reverted back to the stock VBIOS the card shipped with(saved it before i updated it) reverting to the stock VBIOS didnt fix the problem only removing the driver fixes the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

Screen flickers with safari version 8.0.2. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1. Reseted safari, rebooted, etc. Nothing works. Ideas?

Screen flickers with safari version 8.0.2. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1. Reseted safari, rebooted, etc. Nothing works.
Ideas on how to fix?
The flickering doesn't always happen but does come back after some time of use.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

TS3274 I have a new iPad mini w/retina display. Recently, the screen flickered with red lines across the entire screen. Anyway, the screen eventually went black. Now it does't work. Anyone have any suggestions?

My screen just went haywire. The screen flickered with red strips vertically. I thought it was part of the game I was operating until the screen went black and a white strip illiminated at the top. I tried turning teh system off, but it would not allow me to turn it off. After about 5 minutes, I was able to turn it off. Anyone have this occur? The Ipad mini appears to be ok now.

I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

Black screen problem when installing msi r9 270x on my intel DP55WB.

Hello everyone...
I bought a new video card msi r9 270x gaming and install it on my old motherboard Intel DP55WB,
When I try to turn on the computer its loading the window 8.1 screen (black screen with windows logo) but then the screen becomes black (but still working) and stays like this!
Is there any solution for my problem?
Thanks.

Also see >>Posting Guide<<, would be helpful too
Might be either compatibility issue (since your system is pretty old), PSU or simply defective GPU. See above ^

Screen flickers with multi coloured lines... then dies

I really hope someone out there can help...
My iphone is only a couple of months old (bought it first day of release in Australia) and now it is starting to break down.
When i press the home key, the screen flickers and has these strange multi coloured lines accross it. Then sometimes it will then restart on the apple logo.
Is there a fix, or do i need to send it back? Will they replace it on the spot?

Page 34 iphone users guide:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Artifacts in games MSI R9 270x 2Gb

Hi.
Few days ago I bought new PC.
PC spec: MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ (MS-7963), GPU MSI R9 270x, AMD FX 8320, PSU Be-Quiet 600W. OS Win.8.1, 8Gb Ram HyperX Blue
In every game I play I got artifacts, is unplayable. I test with MSI drivers, also with new AMD drivers 14.12
Also I flash GPU with new BiOS, problem still exist. So I want ask you guys, should I RMA this GPU or there is fix for it ?
BIOs --------> https://www.dropbox.com/s/35cyztj6oup2fgu/Pitcairn.rom?dl=0
GPU S/N 602-V303-13SB1312019935
Screen with old BIOS
New BIOS

GPU temp in heavy stress (furmark 1080p AA x8) is max 78 but mostly in games is around 65-70.
I can't tell if problem occurs with other GPU cos I don't have one.
Also today this happend when I turn on my PC.
This should be MSI splash screen.

MSI R9 270X 2G Gaming artifacts

I have artifacts and random graphical glitches in games.
These tend to occur after gaming for at least an hour.
I believe I have the latest vbios (here is a rom pulled from the card via GPU-Z: mediafire (dot) com/?3cj808ylqdi11my) and have tried many drivers.
I have included some screenshots below to give a quick look at the issue. I get the issue at R9 270 clock speed (900 core, 1400 mem)

Quote from: horsemama1956 on 04-May-14, 03:14:55
Registered after this thread came up with a google search as I have the same problem(Not so much the giant obvious ones, but the smaller group of clear boxes as seen in the second BF pic).
I know it's a few weeks late, but try downclocking the memory to 1200 and check. I have the same issues and that eliminates it, and it seems quite common with this model of MSI cards. I think they had a bad batch of memory or just used old 7870s and overclocked the memory instead of using a quicker part. I would RMA it, but you may still get the same issue with an identical replacement.
I tested 3dmark 11 for like an hour and anything over 1200-1250 memory(same memory speed as a many 7870s) causes issues.
Yes with with other words all MSI r9 270x 2G are corrupted... so MSI need to give our money back or make a fix for us.. I have pay a lot of money for this card and send 3 RMA's and still get this issue with the new card....... The store don't want give my money back and said that i need contact MSI Well im reading this forum and see many people have the same issue!
MY Power supply is 800WATT Enermax so thats not the problem of this issue..

MSI P45 Neo-F, GeForce GTX 260 graphic card upgrade (Install resolved)

Greetings,
We recently built up starting from an MSI P45-F motherboard and running an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor on XP (we did not choose XP-64 waiting on Windows 7).
We are attempting to upgrade the graphic card to the PCI express with a GeForce GTX 260 and are encountering a driver download error from Nvidia.
Problem/Issue: While driver software is downloading, mid-way the screen goes black/blank and a single underscore cursor appears (remains indefinitely).
We believed it could be a power supply issue as we are running an OCZ tech 600W stealth stream (we are certain there is sufficient amp), but clearly we must disable or uninstall the on-board graphic card (which may be causing a drain?). We are looking under the Device Manager and unable to identify which is the actual on-board graphics in order to disable.
I have attempted to contact MSI directly; however there is a communication problem on my part since I have no idea what I'm doing ($40 bucks to have the card professionally installed is looking like a bargain right now, but think of the fun I will have with the Crysis expansion set on ULTRA).
One side bar question, not important: I'm running 4 GHz RAM, but only 3.205 is appearing? what is the missing RAM being allocated to at idle (is that to the graphics?)?
Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Jay

Greetings,
Well - initially the lock up would occur when we started running the Nvidia driver download software. After booting and performing a system restore (the normal OS load locked up, so we had no choice but to back date). We then downloaded the driver from Nvidia on to a disk from another computer and started up the upgrading computer in safemode and inserted the disk, same error occurred - halfway through the install download the screen goes blank and stays with under score cursor 20+mins.
We called Nvida and they claimed there may be may be driver conflict, so we removed all the drivers (with a driver sweep software-we wiped out allllll of the drivers, no problem) and loaded all drivers fresh and brand new.
Still same error occurred; We attempted to load the nvidia driver from the website -
Carefully confirming that
1.) we have sufficient amps (we calculated 46amps) to cover our build up.
*EDIT: IT WAS ACTUALLY 18amps (ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CALCULATIONS)
2.) we also confirmed the motherboard has the correct slot and we correctly connected the correct (2) power cords.
EDIT: THERE IS NO PRIORITY TO CONNECTION, SO JUST BE AWARE THERE ARE TWO PLUGS AND BOTH FIRMLY INSERTED.
We've called Nvidia and on the 5th time , we were specifically told that it did not appear that the motherboard and graphic driver are compatible.[/flash] How could that be ??? did they give up???
EDIT: THEY WERE INCORRECT, THEY DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY.
gfffffff* We are just about giving up and preparing to package up the new card and taking the restock charge...
EDIT: NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Msi-6714 motherboard trying to install new graphics card

can anyone help me
i have tried installing an ati radeon 9600 graphics card on my msi motherboard and it wont take it
it will find it in bios but as soon as it boots in to windows it throws it out
the motherboard currently has onboard graphics which i have tried disableing but still cannot get the card to work
know the card is ok as it has been tested on another machine
yours hopefully

Normally, on-board VGA should get disabled when inserting a Graphiccard in AGP slot.
If not, this is done in bios.
According to your info, Looks like the Powersupply could be the issue.
Even if you don´t have the latest highperformance components, you still need at least some 400w with 18amp on the 12v line and 28amp on the 3,3v / 30amp on the 5v.
If it still not working you could remove PC powercable and clear CMOS jumper on MoBo ( read manual )
Please make full system spec incl. Powersupply.
There are some differant models of MS6714 MoBo´s.
Read between PCI slots on MoBo.

Trouble with Sapphire HD 7850 mac edition graphics card

So i've recently decided to updagre the graphics card from a HD 5870 to the HD 7850 mac edition.
It has a toggle switch for different firmware requirements of different OS's. It works great when I have it in "Mac OS X/Windows (non-UEFI compliant)" or "Windows (UEFI compliant)" as long as i'm booting into Mac OS X. With the former option i can hold down option to get a boot screen whereas with the latter the monitor becomes active as soon as you're logged in - as expected.
However as soon as i go to boot into windows by selecting my bootcamp drive from the boot menu (switch in position 1 on GPU) it goes to a nice BSOD and i have to force restart my computer. Does anybody understand why this card won;t allow me to boot into windows like my HD 5870 did in this manner?
Secondly, i figured I would try to bypass the boot screen by throwing the GPU switch to position 2 ("Windows (UEFI compliant)") and then go into system preferences and select the windows volume to startup in. However ever since i installed windows i haven't been able to boot in this manner...when it restarts i get an error saying that there is "no bootable device" which makes no f****** sense because i can boot into my windows drive just fine by selecting it from the boot menu.
I feel like since i had to install windows by bypassing bootcamp assistant (directly booting from usb and installing to a clean separate internal SSD) that I might have screwd up the association between the startup disk selector and the target disk...i'm so exhausted of dealing with windows and my mac with RAID drives...so many problems, so complicated.
Any help with the graphics card stuff would be much appreciated.

Dear Paul S, John B here. I have a 2008 Mac Pro, single Quad Core-not state of the art at all. I bought my sapphire radeon HD 7950 to replace an nVidia 8800, so that I could play Bio shock infinite on Steam. Yes, I installed it myself, it's a piece of cake. I had no issues after installing. Some have...might have been that gpu switch on the side was defective, but not for me. to the right for mac, left for PC, as far as I know. As for the hype, can't say. It does the job quite well. I now have a Mac that can use Display Port and HDMI for output rather than DVI (very handy for buying monitors- you can use a small LCD tv as one). I guess it was worth the price, to me it was, anyway. I learned my lesson on older graphics cards: when they go, try to not have a fit, and see if you can replace them with something a bit better, and don't take your Mac in to your local Fruit PC store, cuz they don't have a clue about such things, and the Fruit PC company's policy is to replace like with like-period. You can ask them to, but they won't put a better video card into your Mac Pro, even though you are willing to pay the difference to upgrade. Also, you are on their turf, so you will be paying their prices for that old video card. $360 for an 8800GT mac version? I don't think so, at least not again ! Freak out with Bootcamp? I don't think so. I've never used it with bootcamp, but I did mention the switch, so I think you're covered there. Maybe you'd have to download and install Windows drivers for that card but that's be about it. You might try MacVidCards.com
but that's a crapshoot, as PC cards flashed to work with Mac may be.
just my 2 cents

MSI Gx700 ex edition Graphics card drivers

Hi, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Nvidia's graphics card drivers for my gx 700's 8600M GT, seen as though I am currently running on some drivers from 2007, when I come to try and install the driver it says it cannot detect any hard-ware that is compatible with the software even though that is the one that was recommended to me by Nvidia! The version I am trying to install is version 186.81 the version I currently have has a date of 01/11/2007 and is version 7.15.11.5680
I don't know all my system info but here goes.
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 Ghz
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT w/ 512 MB RAM
2 GB System RAM
Windows Vista 32 bit with SP2
Any help would be appreciated

MSI doesn't update drivers unless there is a reason to do so.
Just because nVidia releases a new driver package doesn't mean the drivers are updated at all.
What I don't get, if you need the latest, then it's obvious you need it for gaming, but then you would have upgraded to Windows7 as that's better for gaming.
Or you are doing an upgrade for no reason, but such is silly.
For these onboard-chips, nVidia decided NOT to release generic drivers.
Why? Is a mystery to all of use, but nVidia does a lot of strange stuff the last couple of years.
