Msi 290x gaming - black screen crash

Hi
Recently i bought MSi 290x gaming . After a day i has got first black screen freeze. Only way to turn on computer was unplug it and connect again after 10-20 sec. I try to use different drivers but nothing helped. Sometimes pc worked fine for 2-4 days and them 3-5 crashes in hour. It never happened in a game . always in windows . I tried different psu and nothing change .
I tried msi afterburner , set voltage to constant. change gpu memory clock ..... but nothing changed :(
I make decision to RMA card to the shop but they just send me msg that everything was fine :( any ide what i should do ?
AMD fx-8350
Asus formula z
XFX Black Edition 850W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power
2x 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM HyperX Fury Black Series
Now im running my old gtx 460 and everything looks fine :((
Any advice?
I should maybe try to sell card and buy something else like gtx970 but i just spend 270 pounds and im at least not happy .... huge disappointment

Not much to try then. Make sure bios of your board is latest and check general system stability with prime95: http://www.mersenne.org/download/

    I've reinstalled, reset settings, lowered frequency, done about everything I could find online and same black screen crash.
    Then I used an earlier save and... it WORKS!!!
    Resolved!, somehow the latest save file seemed to get corrupt when reinstalling the graphics drivers...? Is that possible?
    Thanks to all.
    A number of people reported similar problems on other forums.
    Resetting the settings or loading a save tended to fix the problems. No idea why.

  • MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

    Hello there.
    About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
    Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
    Bios Version: Latest
    Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
    PSU: Don't know
    12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
    CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
    Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
    SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
    CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
    Raid Card: Onboard
    Sound Card: Onboard
    OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
    Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
    So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
    I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
    I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
    Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
    Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
    EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

    Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
    Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

    Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
    Seems ok result.
    Now to problem i have.
    So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
    Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
    Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?

  • MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011) w/ML Black screen crash everyday since 1.69f4 SMC update

    SInce the 1.69f4 SMC upadte installed though the App Store my Macbook has been randomly showing a black screen and the only way to get out of it is to hard reset. After that it takes a couple hours to get going again. Frequently when booting up after the black screen, the Apple logo and spinning ball disappear and it just sits on a white screen with the fan spinning like mad.
    I have searched around and tried the SMC, PRAM and hdd disconnect but none of them seem to be a realible fix. It just fixes it self and boots normally when it feels like it.
    I've read that black screen crashes can be a problem with the logic board but when it does boot it works perfectly ?? There is no log of any interruption in console or any sort of crash report. When it does restart there is no "your computer had a problem" message either.
    Ive only had the laptop for <18months and its has never left my house, it stays docked to thunderbolt display so there cant be any physical damage.
    Is there anyway to roll back the SMC firmware? it worked perfectly before this update now im losing 1-3 hours a day trying to get it started again.

    do you have any proof fir this trick, because mymackbook pro early 2011 never used SSD for system and stroage.
    but i had replace hardisk  from toshiba 500 GB  5400rpm to toshiba to 1 TB 7200 rpm were normal almost 1 years.but gettong problem at least  2 month ago .
    thanks
    everybody  who's get try for this trick,please posting it.

  • 970 GAMING black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime

    I have 970 GAMING w/ FX8320, it shows black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime to enter default.
    I have updated it to the up to date M11 bios. Once it boot up, it functions OK no matter whether you reboot or reset it. But after turned off a few hours (cooled down), it shows on black screen again on boot, all LED lights up OK, but I can hear the fan like keep rebooting, any idea?
    PSU seasonic 430W, GPU HD7750.

    In what DIMM slots did you insert your memory?  I just got and at this moment building a new computer with a 970. 
    A horrible experience I had with my last build reminded me of it.  My board was am MSI A88XM-E45.  DIMM1 is blue, DIMM2 is black, DIMM3 is blue, & DIMM4 is black.  When using two sticks of RAM, it says to install one on DIMM1 & the other in DIMM3 (Makes sense... After all, it's color colored that way).
    Well it would not boot.  I reseated every component and for HOURS tried almost everything.  Finally I decided to place my two sticks of RAM in the first two DIMMS and viola!
    I think I will begin this build the same way.

  • MSI 990FXA-GD80 black screen

    Hello there
    Specs:
    What I had:
    AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
    GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H
    XFX Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5
    Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9
    Western Digital Caviar® Black 1TB
    2x Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB
    OCZ SSD Vertex 4 Series 2.5" 128GB
    My computer suddenly crashed with a BSOD while surfing the web. When it restarted I got past the usual Gigabyte screen - followed by a black screen telling me "Beginning to update backup BIOS ---- Updating " then it restarted again, going into a loop with the same thing happening again and again.
    So I figured that the motherboard had crashed, so I bought:
    MSI 990FXA-GD80
    Thinking that would solve the problem.
    I rebuild my computer today with the new motherboard, plugged everything and was ready to go-
    The first message I got was telling me that my cpu or my ram was changed, and gave me the option to either 1- enter BIOS or 2- boot with default values.
    I entered BIOS, checked that everything was OK, saved and rebooted... Got past the MSI-screen - followed by a black screen telling me "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart", which I did.
    My comp then rebooted, but this time both my screens stayed black :O
    I have now tried to restart my computer several times, but my screens stay black.
    My monitors are plugged in with DVI and HDMI.
    Solutions I have tried:
    Removing the motherboard battery. and starting without it.
    changing to my old graphic card, ATI Radeon 5830.
    Removing the power for 15 mins.
    Unplugging all the hard drives, except the SSD. (which my OS is installed at).
    I have now also ordered AMD FX-8150 8-Core Processor.

    Quote
    "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart",
    Did you use the ame HDD for boot without re-installing the OSD ?
    This could be a case of having an AHCI mode OS HDD and your current board is still set to IDE ?
    That X4 955 only supports 1066 or 1333 memory.
    Borrow the other PSU. Insert only one RAM module.
    Do a full CMOS clear.
    Retest and do a fresh OS installation and all curent drivers.

  • N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming black screen blinking problem

    Hello there,
    i upgraded my PC 4 days ago with a MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming graphic card. I installed the newest graphic drivers. Clean install and without nVidia Experience. My problem is black screen blinking when i am playing or watching. Screen turns to black for 1-5 seconds like monitor lost its signal. It happening when i click to fullscreen button. No matter if its in youtube or windows. It happening every time. It does the same when i am playing. Big lag and then black screen blinking for 10 sec. Sometimes more sometimes less than 10 sec. I used Google and i am not the only one, who have this problem. Some people says, that GPU BIOS flash helped but in MSI website is only one BIOS and i dont know if its newer than mine or not. S/N of my card is 602-V282-380B1404100829 (if it helps) and my current bios is here h t t p ://leteckaposta.cz/186979270 (just click on the GK104.rom in the middle).  I think i tried almost everything. Registry clean, anti malware and spyware, drivers re-install, turn W Aero Off, UAC off and other worthless tips how to fix this issue. I monitored my PC with many temperature software and i am 100% sure, that overheating isnt the problem. So could you please check if the MSI Bios is newer than mine or tell me what to do to fix this irritating problem?
    Thank you very much
    PS: I am not a native speaker and english is my 3rd language tbh, so please excuse any grammar mistakes

    you are using latest vbios version, test the card in another PC

  • MSI 8800gt BSOD ( black screen )

    BLACK screens of death. I was going to post in one of the numerous other threads with this problem but i saw someone get yelled at to make their own thread so here is mine. After playing cod4 for extended periods of time. sometimes and only sometimes my monitor will go black and either the audio will continue as normal... or it will loop. Windows says the nv4.dll got stuck in an infinite loop. Either way i have to hard reboot my computer and its normal again.
    http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=27500 <--- my psu
    i have already clean sweeped the old nvidia driver and have the newest one installed.
    gpu max temp 74° after hours of playing crysis.
    At this point i wish i was getting artifacts, just so id know i had a bad card.
    Edit: oh yeah heres what evenviewer has to say.
    The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.

    you have a good point it must not be my card it works fine in my friends machine. it also works fine in my machine for the most part. Of course when i plugged it in his machine i didnt put a svideo cable in the back of the card. The problem is, as i previously stated that the problem only occurs when the svideo cable is plugged in and active.
    I came here for help, and instead of help i get a message telling me not to bump my post, which was already in the top 3 slots anyways so im not sure if that is really a bump or not. Its not like i bumped it from the second page. Also i get a reply telling me that i have been told tons of things to do, but i do nothing.  I think if i come back here and ask for help, it should be assumed i have not just ignored the suggestions and that im still having problems. Almost all the suggestions had already been done before my first post a month ago. The suggestions were also, over a month old, and i will admit i know absolutely nothing about computers... thats why i came here. ...but before i came here i had already done extensive testing on my rig, before i sought outside help. So, contrary to my instincts that a bad cpu clock would not bust a video card.. only when the svideo cable is plugged in. i tested my machine yet again for the same things i did last month, yesterday. For 23 hours I ran orthos, and passed without even a hitch. i even played some bioshock while i was running it. Not the best performance, but it still booted up and ran. I Used a better powersupply, same results. svid in = crash.. svid unplugged = works. I even wasted a month of my time and now cannot return the card to where i purchased it from bc my in store warranty is up. All bc i listened to someone on this forum who said i might have a bad pci slot. The rig passed all the test overclocked, and at stock values. All other test were done at stock stettings. 23 hours is a long time to test something when you already know it works. I really just want to know what is causing this problem. I mean why can't the video card work as intended, when the svideo cable is active. The testing of the cpu so many times is confusing, but i have only recently tried another psu. Maybe when the second monitor(tv) is active it requires more amps. Still very unlikely but i can understand how that would work. Although, 34amps of Antec power on the combined 12v rail, should be way more than enough to power a 8800gt. Im just taking a stab in the dark, but if i had to guess. i would say the memory controller on the video card cant allocate the memory for both monitors correctly. Please if anyone has some helpful info, share it with me. I do not have a backup vga, and i cannot return it to the retailer now.
    also all the test were done, with the vga at msi settings. However if i play unreal tournament 2004 with card overclocked it will freeze up during gameplay. However, I can play crysis, turok, cod4, ect with the same clock speeds on vga fine. Although, all of That is with the svideo disabled. If i enable it, all of them will crash eventually.

  • Qosmio X500 - Black screen crash when loading games, requiring reboot

    I have a brand new Qosmio X500 (PQX33A-00X00J) with all the original drivers as they came out the box, and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS. The only thing I've done on this laptop is install games. The laptop runs fine for most things, and for a very few games (Unreal Tournament 2007 is the only one so far), but almost all games crash with a black screen the first time they're run. Sometimes I'll see a splash screen the first time, and once or twice I've got to a start screen, but thereafter the screen goes completely black, no sound, and the machine freezes requiring a reboot.
    It's extremely frustrating, considering this is a brand new, out of the box gaming laptop, and I haven't changed any drivers or anything. It's running an Nvidia Geforce GTS 250M display card, and the native resolution for the LCD screen is 1920x1080. I suspect it may have something to do with the unusual native screen resolution or the aspect ratio, because I managed to get one game to run (FEAR) by going into the supplied config utility and setting the game's default screen resolution to 1024x768. FEAR has the same crash if set to a higher resolution.
    The games I've tried:
    Unreal Tournament 2007 - runs perfectly at all resolutions
    Half Life 2 - crashes on launch with black screen, no sound, requiring reboot.
    Counter Strike - the 1st time I managed to the setup screen, changed screen resolution, it crashed immediately. Thereafter it crashes straight away on launch, I can't even get to the setup screen. Uninstalled, reinstalled, same thing, crashes on launch with black screen, requiring reboot.
    Bioshock - only ever got a "Bioshock" logo, then crashes with black screen, requiring reboot.
    Frontlines - Fuel of War - crashes on launch with blank screen, requiring reboot.
    Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare - crashes immediately on loading with black screen, requiring reboot.
    Crysis - crashes immediately on loading with black screen, requiring a reboot.
    Except for UT 2007, almost every game has just crashed the first time it's been run, I usually don't even get a 1st shot at trying to change any settings. I've tried loading the games that provide a safe mode in that (e.g. Modern Warfare), but the same thing happens. I've also tried setting the laptop resolution to 1024x768 before running the games, but no difference. I've also made sure I'm running the latest patched version of the games, and I've checked the Toshiba website, but there are no driver updates so far that I can find for this laptop either.
    I'm completely pulling my hair out, and solving this is very time consuming, because every time I try anything I have to reboot before I can try something else. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Someone suggested I try turning off my antivirus, and it turns out that was the problem. It seems Comodo has compatibility problems with games in Windows 64-bit editions since one of their latest releases.

  • GTX750 2GC OC black screen / crashes

    Recently purchased this gpu N750-2GD5/OC and i'm experiencing random black screens and crashes using different versions of nvidia drivers i tried the card on 2 different systems with every driver on the nvidia site starting from 334.89 to 347.25
    Some drivers respond better some worse but the problems are the same for example the 347.09 driver will give me continuous black screens which last about 3-4 seconds making every game unplayable
    Some other when the pc wakes from sleep mode will give me the black screens and low fps
    And lastly i believe 344.75 made every game crash when i start them
    I uninstalled every driver using ddu uninstaller nothing is overclocked and checked the pc's for stability problems running prime95 - memtest and msi kombustor for stress test which the card run fine for up to 2 hours
    Overheating is not an issue with my setup checked temperatures constantly
    Currently i reside on 344.60 which gives me issues only when the pc's return from sleep mode
    The systems i tried the card are this:
    cpu : athlon 860k
    mobo : asus a88xm-a
    ram : 8gb 1866 kingston
    psu : seasonic g450
    os : w7 ultimate x64 (fresh install)
    notes : everything is up to date mobo bios and drivers
    second system :
    cpu : phenom 955 (no oc just so i can test the card)
    mobo : dfi 790fxb-m3h5
    ram : g.skill 1333 8gb
    psu : ocz zt650
    os : w7 ultimate x64 (fresh install)
    Any clues ?
    thanks in advance

    You have tested your card with different pc, and it still crash. The problem must with your card, better RMA it if it is still under warranty.

  • 270X Gaming - Black screen after driver install

    I just recently purchased an MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr Gaming.
    I physically installed the board and booted my PC. Windows started fine, albeit in VGA mode. I then proceeded to install the latest AMD drivers for the card (13.11 Beta). I made it through installation and then rebooted. When I rebooted, I got a blank, black screen after the "Starting Windows" screen. I was unable to boot windows, so I restored to last known configuration and tried again with different drivers (13.9) with the same result.
    Does anyone know why windows hangs when it loads the display driver? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi everyone. I just wanted to give you an update. It seems I have resolved the problem.
    After attempting other fixes (fresh Windows install, MB BIOS update, etc), flashing the BIOS of the video card fixed the problem. I used the BIOS version
    015.040.000.000.002887. I believe the BIOS the card shipped with is 015.039.000.000.002887. Anyway, there are no problems now. I was able to install Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.5 with no problems and no black screens.
    I got the BIOS and ATIWinflash from TechPowerUp. I'd post links, but I am too new to the board.
    Thanks guys.

  • 'You shut down the computer because of a problem'. Mbp constant black screen crashing, can only hard reboot each time. Please help, latest report here...

    Hi for the last few months my mbp seems to randomly crashing to black screen at seemingly unrelated times. Most frequent are after periods of sleep and sometimes when web pages such as youtube load. This crashing is getting more and more frequent and when it occurs only a hard reset with the power button has any effect. The screen goes completely black, no backlight, no keys work, the fans keep going and if there was a song/video playing it starts looping the last note/second of noise over and over until the laptop is reset. My worry is that if i take it to the apple store, it will decide not to crash on that day which would drive me insane as its been happening all the time.
    I've sent lots of 'reports' off to apple and saved numerous panic reports, here is the latest one:

    Any information on why this is happening would be so so so appreciated as losing all your work in a blink of an eye is unbelievably rage inducing.
    Thank you!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
    Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
    You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
