MSI 945GM3 with PCI-e graphics card

I have a 945GM3 motherboard and am trying to put a EN8600GT video card on it (dual monitor/PCI Express).  When I install the video card I get no video output from the card or the motherboard video controller.  The system still boots as I can shut down windows from the keyboard and the system powers off.  But I can't see anything.  Same result if I disable the motherboard video in the BIOS.  On page 3-10 of the manual it shows the Advanced Chipset Setup which has a selection for setting which graphics card to initialize first, but I don't have that entry in my BIOS settings (only the other two selections on the page).  I have upgraded to v5.60 of the BIOS and that has not helped either.  Unfortunately I don't have another motherboard to test the graphics card on, but before I return it I'd like to be sure that is the problem.
Thank you.

Clearing CMOS and powering with the monitor plugged into the PCI-e card did make that card appear.  And both outputs on the EN8600 now work.  But at that point I don't seem to be able to access the built-in display adapter.  If I take the EN8600 card out, the motherboard video controller reappears, but it disappears as soon as the EN8600 card is plugged in.  Is this a limitation of the motherboard?
Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    The following link shows the specs of your machine:

    It clearly says:
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
    Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
    You don't need to disable the integrated video chip (or onboard video).

  • T61 with Advanced Dock and PCI-e graphics card?

    Purchased T61 laptop with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics (Type: 7662-CTO).
    Purchased ThinkPad Advanced Dock for use with PCI-e graphics card for multi-monitors.  (Type: 2553)
    OS = Vista Ultimate
    Purchased PCI-e graphics card:   NVidia Quadro NVS 440  1x
    Purchased four Samsung SyncMaster 740bx monitors
    Opened Advanced Dock.  Installed Quadro NVS 440 card in PCI-e slot.  Card fits perfectly.
    Laptop using most recent BIOS v 1.26
    Set BIOS config for PCI-e graphics and DVI default monitor.
    Connected all four monitors via DVI.
    Laptop in dock, turned on.  BIOS screen displays correctly on external monitors.  Microsoft Corp. screen displays with progress bar.  Screen then goes blank and next step should be the Windows login.  Login screen never displays, however.  Boot-up of laptop halts at this point and never proceeds.
    Removed PCI-e card from dock, and placed laptop back in dock.  Laptop boots correctly to Windows.
    Assumed faulty dock.  Called Lenovo for replacement dock.  Replacement dock also fails to boot with PCI-e graphics card.
    Next assumed bad card.  Tried different card.  ATI FireMV 2400 1x.  Card fits in dock perfectly.  Laptop still fails to boot with card in dock.
    Called Lenovo.  Asked for a list of cards that will work in the dock.  Tech support did not know.  I asked if anyone at Lenovo has ever seen a T61 laptop work with the Advanced Dock and a PCI-e graphics card.  Tech said no.  Issue has been escalated to engineering.  I still do not have an answer as to which PCI-e cards, if any, will work in the Advanced Dock.
    Help please.

    I spent some time surfing through product release letters and data sheets for the grafic cards offered by Lenovo, no where, as far as I could see, does it say that they are compatible with the advanced dock. What is also interesting, they say for PCs they are only tested for 2 screens, but you found the document MIGR-67464 where they show how to configure 4. [confused smiley]
    It looks as though you and RBS have found possible solutions for 4 screens, congrats to all 
    However, I don't want to be the "party pooper" here, but why doesn't your T61 boot in the dock with graphics card? This is still puzzling me, and to be honest I haven't as yet been able to come up with a reason or probable cause as to why

  • Problem with MSI GTX 960 GAMAING 4G graphics card - Please help

    So I just bought an MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card. My problem is that it seems to randomly decide when it wants to run fine at 1215 MHz, and when it wants to downclock to around 135 MHz. Today for example, I was playing Witcher 3: Game was running fine (~55 FPS) for a few hours because the card was performing at maximum. Then, out of nowehere, I dropped to about 4 FPS. I checked Afterburner, and the core clock went down to 135 MHz, while I was still in game. The card is not overheating during gaming. I have the fans set to 35% speed at all times and the GPU never got hotter than about 50c.
    I have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I even tried an earlier set of nVidia drivers and the same things happened. Also yes, it is firmly seated in the PCI-E slot and yes, the power cable is firmly plugged in.
    PC Specs:
    Intel Core i5 Devils Canyon
    Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI mobo
    GSkill Sniper 16GB RAM
    MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card
    Antec EDGE 550w PSU
    I understand these newer graphics cards have power saving settings built in, but I have my nVidia control panel settings to "Prefer maximum performance" and it doesn't seem to help. It seems my card is putting itself into power saver mode at will. I suppose my PSU could be the culprit even though the recommended PSU is only 400w, and I have 550w. Any ideas?

    So it turns out I wasn't running the latest BIOS for my motherboard. I updated my BIOS and cleared CMOS. Everything was running fine for a couple hours. I was playing Witcher 3 at full clock and memory speed. GPU temp was hovering around 62 deg c at 60 FPS. Then after a couple hours, the game crashed. Rebooted my computer, and now I am back to the same issue where the card won't run at full speed in a 3D application. Even ran the Valley benchmark tool again and the card didn't increase speed to compensate.
    Do I have a defective card? If so I will get it replaced from Newegg.
    Also I don't know if I am running the latest vbios. GPU-Z says I have 84.06.14.00.F3
    If there is a newer vbios, I can try to update and see if that does anything. I will try anything before returning this to Newegg. My old video card bit the dust and artifacts everywhere, so I don't have a temp replacement.

  • Can i install nVidia PCI express graphics card on a ATI X200 motherboard

    Is ATI X200 motherboard compatible with nVidia PCI Xpress graphics card(Gforce 6series card)?
    My system configuration
    AMD Athlon 64 3200+
    ATI XPRESS 200 RS482M2 Series  Motherboard
    512 MB DDR RAM

    It is indeed my friend, I have put an NVidea G-Force 6600 PCI-E in a MSI RS482M-IL Motherboard (using the ATI Chipset) and it works a dream  , not a problem.  The only advantage of using an ATI card is that the catalyst drivers on the CD for the motherboard works with the card! 

  • Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

    I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor.   I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
    I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
    Now for my questions:
    How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
    What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
    I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer.  Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
    Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
    GeForce 9400 under $50
    Radeon HD 4650 under $50
    GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
    Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

  • MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

    Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
    However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
    The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
    Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
    Thank you very much.

    It happens every time, even after a restart.

  • How do I get Windows 8 to function with my Iris Graphics card?

    Hello!
    I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro retina with 8 GB of RAM and Iris graphics card.
    I am having a problem in WIndows 8 64 bit (I'm using bootcamp 5). It seems as the Windows 8 doesn't work properly with the Iris graphics card. Under display adapter information it shows only 32 MB of dedicated video memory. And I only want windows on my mac because of occasional video games. No games run with 32 MB of video memory. And it seems that windows drivers are correct because it recognises the Iris 5100 graphics card...
    I tried reinstalling bootcamp drivers and went to Intel's website for newer versions of Iris drivers but nothing helped. Is there a way to allocate more memory to the graphics card or some other solution?
    I would really appreciate help on this.
    I attached a screenshot of the display adapter information panel in windows 8.

    Dedicated is how much physical memory it have software cant change that its the same deal in osx

  • Premiere Elements 9 crashes with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards under Windows 7

    I've just installed Premiere Elements 9 and found that it will not run at all with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards active under Windows 7.  Per all the other discussions, I updated the NVIDIA drivers and Quicktime support to the latest versions.  (NVIDIA version 260.99).  I have both a 9400 GT and an 8400 GS installed, to support multiple monitors.  They both use the same driver.  The PRE 9 organizer will run, but as soon as I create or load a project it quickly crashes.
    On a long shot I disabled the 8400 GS card in the Device Manager and now I can run PRE 9.  Of course this means giving up one of my monitors.  Any other ideas?

    Over in the Premiere Pro area (or maybe it was in the Hardware section... didn't pay a lot of attention 'cause it really didn't matter to me) I read a message about using two nVidia cards with no problems (other than no dual-card SLI support)
    I **think** that was with two SAME model nVidia cards
    And, of course, PPro is completely different code, so PreEl may simply not work with two nVidia cards

  • I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro 13". I have a new logic board and have searched for the spec on this i.e. hdd size and ram. will my 2009 screen work with a updated graphics card ??

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

  • Help with installing new graphics card

    Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
    Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
    Orginally had a ati hd radeon  2gb (not sure what model)
    in it
    after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
    so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon 
    I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card 
    Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac 

    Hi,
    The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
         http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
    Probably you are talking about the following card:
        http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
    The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
    (a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
         http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    (b) Install driver for new card
    Hope this helps.

  • Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

    I have a Macbook Core Du0 1.83ghz running 10.6.3. Each time I watch a video on youtube or watching Flash or other multimedia animations, my fan run super fast.
    Is it the same with the new Macbook with the Nvidia Geforce graphic card?
    Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

    Watching videos taxes the GPU and CPU. That's why the fan runs faster - to cool the computer. When you aren't doing much the fan slows down. This is true of all the laptops regardless of which GPU is involved.
    Since you have the first generation MB model, it runs hotter than later models that incorporated some changes to the cooling system making the fan run faster during idle. You can accomplish a similar result using the third-party fan control software, SMCFanControl - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. It can be used to increase the fan's idle speed to 2000 RPM. This won't make the fan run any slower when the computer heats up.

  • Can I change AMD 6490 with a nividia graphic card in a DV6 6129sl?

    Can I change AMD 6490 with a nividia graphic card in a DV6 6129sl?
    dual boot Windows 7/  Debian
    I'm tired of this RADEON.It's terrible with both Windows and even more with linux.
    I also regret having bought a HP.
    If I could change it with a Nividia, configure the driver for linux is much easier and no blue screen on Windows.

    Hi, Mary:
    Your notebook does not have any removable/replaceable graphics 'cards'.
    The GPU's are chips which are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded, or replaced.

  • Problem with my amd graphic card

    Hi.. I have a problem with my amd graphic card.. The card is amd radeon 6770m.. I did format on my laptop and when I tried to install the catalyst center which includes the driver, it displays a message which say that catalyst center stop working... I have downloaded all the versions of the driver since 2011 when I bought the laptop... But I have the same problem whichever version I try.. I also have updated the bios to the last version but nothing happens..I think maybe graphic card is broken.. Thanks for reading..

    Hi @Lefteris93 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your I would uninstall all the software and drivers for AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control from the control panel and the Device manager.  Restart the notebook and download from here.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase. This will help update the drivers that have been installed on the Notebook.   If you graphics card was damaged or not functioning you would have a black or blank screen.
    Thanks.
