Msi 7970 lightning flashing help.

Hello guys, my friend has a very strange problem.
He bought a msi 7970 lightning, but he can not change anything in msi afterburner, so no extra vcore, no higher power limiter.
if he runs a benchmark like firestrik or 3d 11, it says its a 7950
on 1 bios, the ln2 it runs on 1150, on the other 1 it runs at 1050 he has the shaders of a 7950, but it is the 7970 lightning.
no he whants to flash it, but what are the exact commands to use when he is in dos.
please do not say return it to the shop, because it takes 8 weeks to get a card back, and the shop says oke flash it, but HOW

Use the attached
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
TV278MH.170 is normal vbios and TV278MH.180 is LN2.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (170_180.rar) and put the included file (TV278MH.170 or TV278MH.180) on that stick.
Rename TV278MH.170 / TV278MH.180 to 170.rom / 180.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 170.rom (or 180.rom) [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.
If still no help remove current drivers in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<< and install latest AMD drivers after reboot.
oke we tried it, we used the 180, now the core clock says 1050 no succes

Msi 7970 lightning BE artifacts & weird stuff

Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble with my msi 7970 lightning. Since a few months ago it started showing weird artifacts. I've mede a few video but ''I'm not allowed to post external links'', or at least so say the board.
The card it's stock speed (core and memory), the fans profile it's also at stock. I'm using the last Omega 14.12 driver and I've tried all the amd drivers from the last year. My cpu is an i7 3770 and my pc has 8 gb of ram.
The card serial number is:
S/N: 602-V278-040B1306042942
Now cames the pain. I had to stop playing Diablo 3 bacause some weird artifacts, then I quit playing Guild Wars 2 for the same reason (see the first video) and now I had to stop playing Dragon Age Origin because of the artifacts, which comes out at high to ultra setting (manageable by the card), and because the game keep crashing randomly to desktop (directX Error) or even freezing (Application Hang, ID 1001 Error). I have seen also weird artifacts on Watch Dogs and Battlefield 3 but fortunately I didn't like those game so much...
What should I do? I have even tried a clean win 8.1 installation...I'm really discouraged.
This card has still six more month of warranty, should I return to the shop?
Thanks in advance,
roz

UPDATE:
B2 error solved. I tried the second bios on my msi z77 mpower motherboard and it wasn't update to the last release, so it was incompatible with amd 7970 card. Now I've update it the video card regularly boot.
Reading online i found that a possible explanation of the artifacts on 7970 cards is due to Hynix GDDR5 video memory ( H5GQ2H24MFR-R0C) voltages which are pushed too by manufacturers. So some people solved the issue reducing the memory voltages (see youtube) and clock speed.
Msi kept them under hynix scpecification, that's to say 6000 Mhz at 1.6 mV, maybe could be a defective module. I mean this card was build for overcloking so it seems weird to see these artifacts when the card is in full load and reaches 75-80 °C. In fact I've no issue, at least for now, with Crysis 3 at high details because the card never hit 70 °C.

MSI 7970 Lightning GHz Edition, black screen problem

Hi all,
I am very dissapointed on the MSI product now. I bought MSI 7970 Lightning BE GHz Edition, when I don't overclock the graphics card and play games I will get black screen or sometime I will get message that "AMD graphics card stopped responding". So I bought a 950W PSU but still problem is there. If I underclocked the card at 600MHz both GPU and memory clock I don't get the problem. But what's the point of having this card paid $500 for nothing. I am so fed up with this card. Please someone help....
My System Spc :
Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard
16GB RAM
Core i7 3770
PC Power and cooling MKII 950W PSU
Thanks.

watch the attitude! you have got a faulty card it happens occasionally as all manufacturers have a 1-3% defective rate not just MSI so do not start with your bashing as its against the rules here!
there are hundreds of individual parts on a board and any one can go bad causing a problem so if you are going to bash anyone bash AMD's GPU's as that is the most likely problem here on the card and MSI do not make those so keep your "I learned a lesson about MSI... it's a piece of junk" to yourself !

Well, asking for a vbios it wasn't obvious that you are trying with Afterburner and didn't know even how to enable voltage control. You could have found out by reading sticky topics too:
>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<
Quote from: How to use MSI Afterburner
Overvolting with the overvolting slider will work the same way what means what you set will be added to the stock voltage. Note that overvolting gpu on Kepler (GTX600) is limited on non unlocked cards (Lightning/Hawk) to the nvidia max of 1.175v and setting anything else will therefor be useless.
If overvolting is greyed out and can't be changed you have to activate it in "Settings"/"General".
Simply check "Unlock voltage control" and "Unlock voltage monitoring"

MSI GE60-2OD Latest Bios

Hi All!
I'm looking to see if anyone has encoutered this issue before.
My current Bios is E16GCIMS.611
I am trying to update to the latest Bios found here GE60-2OD.html which I hope will solve an issue I'm having.
Whenever I try to update to the E16GCIMS.617 I get an error Security_violation Invalid Rom image.
I've attempted multiple times both through bootable forum flasher tool usb and through UFI update option.
Anyone got any ideas?
Help MUCH appreciated

Completely certain, that was my first thought too.
So to eliminate it I have downloaded it using different computers usb keys and internet connections (mobile data, work and home)
Same result each time.
Interestingly I am pondering another chain of thought which is that my laptop may not be the GE60-2OD as I looked at my puirchase receipt and found It listed as 2OE however the current BIOS identifies itself as 2OD
I don't know maybe I'm just plucking straws!

Bios msi 7970 lightning BE

Hi, I've some problem with the new videogame Titanfall and the developer's forum the mods said it could be a bios issue. I dont believe it but I'm going to try.
The serial numeber of my card is:
S/N: 602 - v278 - 040B1306042942
The current BIOS is this (from GPU-Z):
015.030.000.002.000000 (133-xxx-xxx)
Is this the last version for my model? Thanks!

you need to upload the vbios itself, save it with gpu-z,
then upload it somewhere and give a link to it to be checked

MSI 7970 Lightning...display problems

I just got today the Lightning 7970. I have tried two of the displayports and they work, but when I switch to one of the other two displayports...the computer doesn't even post. So to recap...of the 4 displayports, 2 do fine and 2 don't even post on reboot.
Is it that you only get two of the 4 displayports for booting...and the other 2 are used when in windows?
My computer is running
Windows 8 64bit
Latest 12.11 drivers
6gb of ram
I7 920 intel cpu

not sure, can you check if they will work within windows?

MSI 7970 Lightning BE problem

Hello,
yesterday I received my MSI Ligthning, mounted it into my PC, boot and everything was fine...
I did some runs of Unigine Valley Benchmark, 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark, played a little bit to check if everything is fine and yes everything was fine...(by the way no more than 60c heat for the GPU).
But
after 2 hours, I was using Internet Explorer and suddenly my PC crashed with a kind of weird green screen... it was not possible to do anything, I had to reboot.
Unfortunately when I rebooted I saw some weird red dots in the displayed texts during the boot process... so I went into my mobo bios screen and saw here several red dotted lines accross the screen..
Anyway I tried to boot Windows with no success: after the splash screen I was not able to get the login screen... only a black screen...
I tried to dismount and mount again the card with no success.
I have the feeling my card is dead
By the way I tried to boot using the LN2 bios with no success (3 beeps).
My system is:
PSU Seasonic X650 (54amp +12v rail)
Mobo Asus P7P55D-E PRO
CPU i7 860 - 3.6GHz
8GB DDR3 GSkill
Windows 7 - x64
Crucial SSD M4 - 256GB
Raid 0 Seagate HDD 7200.14 - 3TB
Thanks if you have any idea to suggest before I RMA my card
Note: I put back my previous graphic cards and everything is fine... so no problem with the mobo or something else I guess.

test the card in another PC
