Msi 580gtx twin frozr II/OC BSOD Artifacts

SO.... I was about to start playing a game, and after 1 sec, the PC started to freeze, then i got a BSOD stop 0x0116 with some small artifacts.
I restarted the PC and then I wasnt able to boot, always got the same bsod, uninstalled my drivers trough safe mode, then installed older drivers with a clean install. restarted PC same BSOD, changed the card from port, same BSOD, tried to change the BIOS settings to default, same BSOD. So, whats wrong? is my VGA dead ?
all temps are normal, vga temps were ok always, but now i'm unable to see if there are any problems with my vga temps, because i cant boot with it. safe mod doesnt show temps but, fans are working.
This is not the first time my card failed... before I got some BSOD, no artifacts, just a normal bsod, restart and everything fine again.
I believe i have almost 2 years with this card and i have NEVER forced it, havent played with voltages, I always  check the temps... my case is a CM StormEnforcer  and i have all the fans working, low dust...
MY PC
asus p8z68-v/gen 3
psu corsair hx1050
12 GB ram corsair vengeance low profile

So, what can I do? is my card still in warranty? or I'm out of luck.... I'm outside the US but, I bought it there.
still, should I try a vBios update ? can you help me with this?
I can't believe my card dies just when the game I was waiting, is about to be released.... I barely used this to test games with nice graphics for few minutes, and then play minecraft... yeah minecraft with a 580....
EDIT: Nvm I tried updating the vBios with the one provided in the MSI website, now it doesnt show the BSOD but the drivers wont load, so I tried again my ubuntu live cd, and the red artifact lines were shown, so yeah....

  • MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC BSOD crash under low load.

    MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA 1155
    Windows 7 Professional 64
    Basically my computer gets a BSOD whenever it's under low load.  Like just using an internet browser or word processing program.
    Even if I just turn my computer on and leave it on the desktop it will just BSOD.
    It never crashes when I am playing a video game.  In fact in order to keep my system running without a BSOD I run a game in the background so it won't crash when I browsing.
    I took out the card and I have not had any issues.  So I thinking perhaps this might be a weird issue with the LucidLogix Virtu (Universal Switchable Graphics) - Auto Switching between Integrated Graphics and the Card.
    The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000041790, 0xfffffa8004637a90, 0x000000000000ffff, 0x0000000000000000).

    Which Nvidia drivers and which browser are you using ? >>Posting Guide<<
    If you look on the NVidia Forum, you will see that this is quite a common complaint from numerous users and not particular to any specific manufacturers card. For some, drivers solve the issue, others a slight increase in core voltage solves the issue.
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=215256&hl=browser crash&st=0
    I can suggest that you use Afterburner and test the card at stock 772 MHz core to see if it does the same. Then test the card at its factory clock and increase the GPU core voltage by about 30 - 50 milli Amp. See if any of those solves your problem. What are your temps like ?

  • MSI - R6870 - Twin Frozr II - Is this too hot?

    I think there is something wrong with this card of mine. I noticed that the idle temps were high. Way too high. I opened the case, latest ati 11.11 drivers, outdoor temperature of 20 degrees C, this card is idling around 62 degrees C. As demonstrated here:
    If I force the fan to 80% it will drop down to about 55 degrees.
    Is this card faulty? Seems unusually hot for something that's meant to be extra cool.

    I use MSI AfterBurner program. You can preset the Fan.  I place mine on AUTO , other option is set to 50 percent fan speed which will also keep it within a good Temp. or User Control and Scale your temp settings.
    . At 100 percent Load running for 30 minutes to 1 hour have yet seen my HD 6870 Twin Frozr II (OC) version hit 70c.  Usually at 60 -65c.  But if you ever get near 90c or above ... then problems are arising.
    My pc system with the MSI cards don't like the AMD Catalyst Drivers or even those from MSI.  I have to play around finding which DRIVER from which Catalyst 10.XX or 11.XX performs the Best.
    All I know is that AMD/ATI has left the HD68xx series in the dust as Has Been graphic cards and leave the customer the worries of finding a Driver that works.
    I have CrossFire configuration but the DirectX 11 says my cards don't support DirectX 11.   Using one of the earlier Drivers, I will be able to use DirectX 11 but then I don't have CrossFire.
    So go figure ....  1 Driver will work for one thing but not the other.  Beware that some will cause Artifacts or Green Screen or Screen Freezes (Locks Up) or even cause your Computer to Crash (get a error) and Dump.
    AMD don't care about supporting the HD 68xx series.  Get a chance go with HD6950's or 6970's.   I'm tired of the ATI/AMD games. In May 2008 went with ATI HD 3870's and worked well until one fried in December 2010 for unknown reasons.
    So I replaced them with HD6870's hoping for great Drivers. So disappointed now that it's been a year. My next PC rig going back to nVidia.!!!!  Sure nVidia cards get hotter (power hogs) but they're more reliable and lasted longer than the AMD/ATI cards.   No wonder nVidia is #1 --- 99 percent of the time. Well we do need AMD competition to keep nVidia prices down.
    my rig:
    Thermaltake Armor Plus full tower, Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 mobo,  Intel e-8500 3.16GHz CPU, OCZ PC3-2000 (1600) 2x2GB memory, Zalman ZM850 850watt power supply, Zalman CPS-9500 CPU cooler,and MSI HD6870 Twin Frozr II (OC) in Crossfire ... replaced the old Sapphire Toxic HD3870's. Use Dual Boot OS's Vista Ultimate 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.

  • Request:UEFI / GOP Vbios-MSI R7850 twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850

    I would like to request a UEFI / GOP Vbios for MSI R7850 Twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 if one is available, my current vbios does not support UEFI / GOP. Thanks.

    Would I just use the installer that is on this site to flash the bios, any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thankyou very much Svet,
    The card and operating system(8.1) works perfect now.
    What I did was, extract the files you gave me, and downloaded the ATIWinflash program,
     then I put the .150 file in the same folder, then renamed the .150 file to a .rom file,
    and used ATIWinflash to flash vbios(too lazy to go to the store), only took about 10 secs, then rebooted, and no more watermark :-),
    Thanks again for your help.
    I am glad I found this site or I would probably be just living with the watermark( Then again I don't think so, it was driving me crazy)

  • Request: Latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC

    Hello there!
    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and would like to upgrade to the latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC please.
    I ran GPU-Z and have posted my current vBIOS here:
    stoguild.info/pitcairn.zip
    Thank you in advance!

    No, that's not the S/N. If there's no other sticker that's bad. According to your provided vbios this gop one should be right:
    >>TV274MH.100<<
    Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0). Then unpack the previously provided archive and put the included file (TV274MH.100) on that stick. Rename TV274MH.100 to TV274MH.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also on the USB stick. Now boot from the stick. Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 TV274MH.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

  • MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Random Crashes

    Hello,
    I have had an MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II video card for the past year, and it has been operating without problems for most of that time. I have been slowly upgrading my computer over past 5 years, but keeping the same motherboard and CPU. A few months ago I started having issues with it:
    While playing video games or browsing the internet the video drivers crash and recover after a few seconds at random times, approximately once every half an hour. 30% of the time, the card crashes and doesn't recover at all, with a black screen, prompting a restart of the system.
    Last month I have rebuilt my PC: kept the same the video card, 750W power supply (both 1 year old) and all my hard drives. I reinstalled the same version of Windows 7. I made sure to take precautions against static in the process. However the problem persists.
    Because I have my power button set to a restart, I am able to have the computer perform a soft reboot every time when the screen goes black, rather than forcing a hard reset, so to me this means the new CPU, Motherboard and RAM are working OK. Also on occasion switching my monitor cable between the two DVI outputs brings the image back.
    Here are some of the other things I have tried so far unsuccessfully:
    Updating the motherboard and bios drivers to the latest version
    Using a tool to delete and reinstall latest ATI drivers (12.9)
    Using ATI beta drivers (12.11b)
    Using both windows and 3rd party memory check tools (both came back OK)
    Changing RAM settings from 1600 to 1333.
    Underclocking the video card (although it runs pretty cold and I have a dedicated fan installed right underneath it).
    I will welcome any other suggestions.
    Thank you in advance,

    Here is an update on my situation:
    I went out a bought a new PSU, Antec HCG-620M, but the problem didn't go away. I'm still trying to keep up with the latest drivers. However most games that require high performance (i.e. Witcher 2 out of the older, more stable games) remain unplayable due to fairly regular random video card crashes. Older games with lower specs play fine though. I have also been running SpeedFan in the background and have seen an occasional spikes in the video card's operating temperatures (as high as 81C) but crashes occur at any temperature.
    Help would still be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II/OC annoyng artefacts

    Hello. I've got a strange issue with my radeon 6870. Every time i play a game a small white flashes appears in random area of a screen. From 2-4 mm (Crysis, Bulletstorm and Fallout 3) to ~ 1-1,5 cm (Napoleon: Total War).I cant post a screenshot because it happens really fast  (just like someone hiding in a trees with a camera). In Crysis 2 and Bad Company 2  instead a small dots a large transparent nearly visible spots  appears from time to time.

  • Random freeze on boot with MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe

    Hello everyone,
    I have an issue with my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe graphics card. Sometimes, on boot (before getting to BIOS, I guess during GFX BIOS, if that's a thing anymore in the computing world) the GPU fans will spin at a considerable speed (noisy, I'd say 70-100%) and the system will refuse to boot. I could reproduce this around 5 to 6 times, and always during cold boots. After this happens, rebooting or powering off and on will not work, I'll need to cut off all power (PSU switch) and cold-boot again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    can you list full system specifications? read >>Posting Guide<<

  • MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr 2, how to identify it?

    Hi,
    I need to verify if the graphic card that is in my computer is really MSI GTX580 Twin Frozr 2, and not GTX560 or GTX570 (to check if i wasn't cheated...). I cannot identify it from the others twin frozr 2 cards since it has same cooling system and no distinct markings anywhere on the card, or at least i dont know about them. Computer still isn't functional, but will be later on today. I didnt receive card in package, but already installed in miditower case.
    So plz i need fast answer, if there is any visual identification i can do, or software that i can use later today to see what graphic card it is.

    tell S/N of your card
    or just run VGA software like Afterburber:

  • MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC memory clock?

    I have had an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC for about 6 months now and have used MSI Afterburner to monitor temps etc. Today I used it to lower my overclocking as others had said Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't crash if you take it off.
    If you look at the MSI product page for the card (the forum won't let me post a link to it!?) you can see the Memory Clock Speed(MHz) says 4000 yet in Afterburner mine said 2000Mhz and the slider was in the middle. I am pretty sure there is no multiplier at work here so mine wasn't being overclocked?
    Any ideas? I have reduced it down to 1800Mhz and GRFS doesn't crash anymore but can I take it up to 4000Mhz safely in future? I do not want to overload the card.

    you have multiply the memory value x2 to get the effective speed

  • MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC "No Signal"?

    Hi guys!
    I've just bought the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC, but my monitor dosent recieve any signal at all. Both power cables are plugged in, and my PSU should be big enough to manage it.
    The slot works fine with my old card, a HD 5450, so is my card faulty?
    Win 7 32 bit
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M USB3 rev 2.0
    Proccesor: Intel Core i5 2.80
    PSU: OCZ600MXSP 600W
    Memory: 4GB

    The card has two power cables, which both are plugged in. If not, a red LED lights up in the card.
    I've just removed the power cable form the mobo and removed the battery from the mobo to do a clear CMOS, but unfortunately with the same results. The fans are running, but my screens says "No Cable" and goes completely black 

  • MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II SLi Game Crashing

    I bought 2 of these cards in my new system and installed the 266.58 drivers and I haven't had them work properly yet as they always seem to crash somewhere between a few seconds and 5 minutes into a game. Games include Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Just Cause 2, Metro 2033 (DX11), AVP (DX11) and Dirt 2 (DX11). I have been tearing my hair out trying to work out what the problem is. I am guessing voltage but am not sure. I have downloaded Afterburner 2.1 Beta 7 and it seems to set the cards to 822,1645, 2138 and 1.05v. I also uninstalled the newest drivers and did drier sweeper and installed 263.09 and have exactly the same problem. Svet do you have any idea on what I could try ? Many thanks in advance...

    Ok so I played JC2 for about an hour and Crysis Warhead for about 30 mins and no crashes. I did experience some lag - noticable in parts of Warhead where the frames dropped considerably. Neither game was butter smooth. I am gaming at 2560x1600 with everything to the max. So do you suggest I test the other card now or is there something I can do to improve the performance of this one ? Thanks again for all your help Svet.
    That one is working well then.

    apply latest drivers from nvidia , apply latest games patches
    this is not vga problem

    I have also played through Metro 2033 for a while and no crashes there either. I will test the other card tomorrow by itself when I get some time.
    yes, test the second one now [also alone], with the same tests
