MSI - AMD Radeon HD 7850 OC Edition CRASH

Hello,
I recently bought MSI HD 7850 OC Edition. Before I install new card,
 - I uninstalled AMD 12.2 drivers, reboot pc
 - Ran DriverFusion (newer version of DriverSweeper), deleted entries and reboot, then shutdown.
 - Removed my old HD 5770.
 - Installed new card.
 - Installed new drivers and reboot.
Then I wanted to test performance in BF3, i had significant FPS boost but after like 2-3 mins, sound started looping then i got a white screen with stripes. Then I rebooted and tried again. This time I had black screen, my monitor just went into sleep. I thought maybe it is a problem with BF3 only. So I tried Natural Selection 2. Again, after 2-3 mins I had a green screen with stripes again.
Any ideas?

Hi Guys, so I to recently purchased a new system and a MSi HD 7850 1G graphics card and I'm getting the same vertical line random crash when I play games  ( happens on Batman or GW2) and when I run FurMark Burn Test.
Bare in mind I've reinstalled the Gcard drivers from the website, reinstalled windows 7 64bit and swapped ram.  My GeForce 9800 Graphics card works fine and passes a 20min Furmark burn test and does not crash the machine, so I think it must be the HD 7850 card settings or its just dodgy card!
I read on another forum that I should change the core clock target and the core memory targets  using Catalyst Control Centre. 
(Google Tomshardware - sapphire-7850-edition-vertial-lines-crash-issue-help)
This seems to be what your suggesting to try here, so I was wondering what values I should change these to? It was originally set to:
core clock target:
30000
90000
memory core target:
15000 (don't know why this was so low)
120000
(do I need to another property name, Want_2 ? As suggested in the link? )
Also if changing these setting fails, what should my next core of action be?
here is my system:
Board: Gigabyte X79-UD3
VGA: MSi HD 7850
PSU: Corsair CX7750 750watt
Intel Core i7-3820 3.60 GHz
MEM: Corsair 16 GB
SSD: 128Gb
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Thanks

  • AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHZ Edition Resolution incorrect and computer hangup

    Hello all. I have been chasing down a problem with my computer hanging up when playing CS:GO. The computer will freeze/lag and repeat the previous 1second of audio/video until I hard boot the system or pull power. I updated my BIOS version as well as installed all of the most recent drivers for both MoBo and Catalyst Control Center.
    My build specs exactly:

    When I initially installed the video card and set it up, I had set the resolution to MAX which is 1920x1080 (my natural ASUS LED monitor's resolution) but got a black border around the desktop screen. I didn't think much of it and just reduced the resolution to something that fit better (dont exactly remember the size) but in an effort to troubleshoot the problem, I removed the video card and ran the monitor off of the MoBo HDMI output. When I set the resolution to 1920x1080, the desktop fit perfectly.
    What would cause the same resolution settings from the HDMI out on the MoBo and HDMI out from the video card to display differently?
    I completely uninstalled CCC and reinstalled the driver and there is no change in the difference in resolution display.
    Some things I tried to diagnose the hang-up problems:
    MemTest86+ on both sticks of ram for 10+hours without an error
    Prime95 for 4+ hours without an error
    FurMark ran at 17FPS at the reduced resolution for 20+ minutes sitting at ~60-62C steady state without a hiccup
    CPU and GPU temps are always in check, never reaching past 65C under full load. I have not overclocked anything or adjusted the performance of the system. It is really frustrating and I am wondering if the 2 problems are connected somehow.
    Any help on the resolution issue would be fantastic!

    Quote from: badboy2k on 14-October-13, 20:37:53
    for the black border via HDMI that's normal as it will have scaling on 10% by default!
    1: go into the AMD software
    2: expand My Digital Flat-Panels
    3: go to Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel)
    4: change the scaling from 10% to 0% and apply
    now it should fill the whole screen at 1920x1080 resolution!
    Ill try that when I get home! Thanks!
    Just out of curiosity, why would the scaling be down 10%?? That seems kinda silly!

  • MSI AMD RADEON HD 6970 Lightning Problem

    Hi guys i was wondering if you can help me. I am fairly certain i have a problem with my graphics card when playing a particular game (Football Manager 2012) via Steam.
    On occasion the game will freeze entirely, along with my keyboard/mouse etc, and sometimes it will rectify itself and carry on as normal or it will stay frozen resulting in me having to do a hard reset.
    I have updates my drivers, all windows updates etc but still have this problem. I have double checked with the game developers who are adamant its not them and I'm at a loss to be honest.
    Please can someone help me? I Can play CIV5 and watch movies etc fine its just this game. Specs are below:
    Corsair CMPSU-850AXUK Professional Series Gold 850W Power Supply
    "Creative Sound Blaster Xi Titanium Fatal1Ty Professional Series Sound Card
    8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance RAM

    Many thanks

    Apologies for the delay in responding..my motherboard is a GB Z68X-UD3H-B3
    I have since tried Batman Arkham Asylum and it does the same thing..almost like the game is playing in the background when the screen freezes as it comes back in a later period of time (game wise)

  • MOVED: MSI Amd Radeon HD 7870 Hawk won't overclock

    This topic has been moved to Overclocking, Undervolting.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165481.0

    Interestingly enough, after reading your post, I did some checking with mine. I have the core voltage bumped up to 1.237 in afterburner (note: it rounds the voltage to the nearest 3/10 of a volt I think) and the clock at 1150 for testing, down from 1200 where it's been for a couple of months due to recent crashes in BL2. 
    Both GPU-Z and HWiNFO64 show 0.825v at idle and 1.219v under load! Afterburner, however, shows 1.3v using it's in system tray monitoring tool.
    So now I don't know what to believe. It seems as if it's not changing for me as well.
    Tomorrow I'm going to hook up the leads and check it with my VOM so I can see for myself.

  • Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) in Mountain Lion

    Dear Apple,
    Could you please add hardware/graphics driver support for Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics card support to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.x
    I needed a better graphics card, and need Mountain Lion drivers for the latest Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ).
    Could you please add graphics driver support for this graphics card to Apple OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.x?  The video card works when I boot directly into Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, but it doesn't seem to have the proper graphics drivers for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Can you please add graphics drivers support to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, so that the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) can be used with the Apple Mac Pro?
    The GHz Edition graphics card can be found here: http://www.diamondmm.com/amd-radeon-hd-7970-ghz-edition-pcie-3g-gddr5-7970pe53gh z.php
    or here:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103201
                         Thank-you,

    @Hatter - I'm quite familiar with the GTX 6xx series, and have looked at the GTX 680, but I specifically have four Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards, and I'm just extremely disappointed/outraged that I spent the amount of money that I have spent on buying an Apple product (an Apple Mac Pro) and I can't even get a decent top-of-the-line commercial (off the shelf) graphics card to work.
    It's extremely sad that Apple can't even take the time to add graphics drivers for a decent graphics card like the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G). 
    This thread is NOT about NVIDIA graphics cards.  This thread is about the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics cards, and adding drivers for these graphics cards to OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. 
    I want to use a Radeon HD 7970 graphics card (with 3GB of DDR5 memory).  I'm just asking for graphics drivers to support the graphics cards that I have purchased.  That is all.  The cards work great in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
    The only problem I am having is with OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion.
    Windows drivers exist.  Linux drivers exist.  I'm just asking Apple to add Radeon 7970 graphics drivers for OS X to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I didn't realize that I would have to STOP BUYING APPLE PRODUCTS just to get a decent graphics card and a decent computer.  I spent quite a bit of money on my four Apple Mac Pro's (about 3 times more than a comparable PC product) and I just find it extremely troublesome (and TERRIBLE) that I can't even use a standard commercial off the shelf (COTS) Graphics card like the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics cards, and find it hard to believe that nobody at Apple has the brains (or foresight) to add graphics driver support to OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion, so that users can actually use a standard Radeon HD 7970 reference design graphics card.
    The 2008 Apple Mac Pro used Diamond Radeon HD 2600XT graphics cards.  The later Apple Mac Pro's used standard Diamond Radeon graphics cards.
    I just find it hard to believe that Apple is falling apart, and can't even keep up (and is about 2-5 years behind the PC sector) when it comes to adding hardware support for the Apple Mac.
    Apple Mac Pro's don't even have Blu-Ray support.  Although some have managed to find ways to get Blu-Ray to partially work, but you can't watch Blu-Ray movies (or 3D Blu-Ray movies) with a Mac (in OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion) and also you can't burn or rip Blu-Ray movies in OS X.
    An Apple Mac Pro should come STANDARD with a Lite-on Blu-Ray burner (as a standard drive), and should have 3D Blu-Ray support (for watching 3D Blu-Ray movies) right out of the box, and it should also have support for editing/burning/ripping Blu-Ray movies (right out of the box).  Apple should pull their head out of their "5th point of contact" and add hardware support for the LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray burner, and also add support for the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics cards.
    The Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics cards are the latest and greatest, and that is what I expect from Apple.
    If Apple can't deliver a decent product anymore, and I can't even use decent COTS (commercial off the shelf) hardware then I'll probably have to just put my 2012 Apple Mac Pro on e-bay, and dump it, and just go out and buy a PC (that can whip the **** out of my Apple Mac Pro at nearly 1/3 the price) and can outperform the Apple Mac Pro in nearly every way (including the ability to watch/rip/record Blu-Ray movies, and the ability to use "top of the line" graphics cards like the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G)
    If I spend "top dollar" purchasing an overpriced Apple Mac Pro product, then I expect a decent "top of the line" graphics card, specifically the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics cards to WORK with the Apple Mac Pro.
    I didn't realize that I would need to use a graphics card from 3-5 years ago, and I expect to be able to use standard off-the-shelf hardware with the Apple Mac Pro.
    It would be extremely easy for Apple to just take the time, and add Graphics Drivers support for the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics cards to OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    The latest operating system should support the latest hardware.  I wish Apple would begin listening to it's customers, instead of just ignoring customers, and forcing us to spend/waste thousands of dollars buying overpriced Apple products, only to find out that we can't even use a top-of-the-line graphics card like the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics cards in OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    The cards work fine in my Apple Mac Pro (under Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8).  The only problem I am having is graphics drivers support under OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    Dear Apple,
    Could you please add hardware/graphics driver support for Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (7970PE53GHZ) and Diamond Radeon HD 7970 (7970PE53G) graphics card support to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.x
                    Thank-you,

  • MSI Radeon HD 6850 Cyclone edition OC seems faulty

    I have a new graphics card, MSI 6850 cyclone edition OC and it crashes alot when I try to run games, usually when the game is loading. I RMA'd with the retailer (OCUK) after I'd done pretty much everything I could I.e. update bios, reinstal windows, installing the drivers cleanly etc... and they said it's not faulty, but the problem persisted.
    I tried underclocking my card from about 860|1100 to 600|1000 and it seems much more stable now and I can almost always run my games without it crashing.
    But I shouldn't have to underclock it from the default factory settings.
    My system specs are:
    Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD3R
    Processor: Intel core i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz (was OC'd to 3.4Ghz, but I set the clock to default trying to fix the problem)
    Memory: DDR3 6GB corsair
    (new)Graphics card: msi ati radeon hd 6850 cyclone power edition
    (old)Graphics card: Radeon HD 4650
    power: corsair, TX650W, Model: CMPSU-650TX
    I've tried it on a number of clock settings and I've got these results:
    860 core | 1100 Memory = crashes (default)
    800 core | 1100 Memory = crashes
    750 core | 1100 Memory = crashes
    700 core | 1000 Memory = fine
    600 core | 1000 Memory = fine
    for some reason the card can't clock to anywhere near the default settings, it crashes even at 750 which is 110MHz below the factory settings.
    Also, the other day when I logged my desktop went like this:
    but it's stopped doing that now it seems, might be because I put my old card back in for a bit, old card was 100% fine in every way. I have the new card back in now though.
    I've overvolted it from 1149mV to 1200mV and it seems to have made the card more stable. It generally doesn't crash loading or during games now (still does occasionally), but it does seem to crash alot streaming things like bbc iplayer.
    I've made quite a few topics on OCUK about it and since it was sent back to me I've been told by everyone on there that it sounds definitely faulty and the card manufacturer MSI are my best bet at getting the issue sorted now. Somebody also said it sounds like a similar problem with some cards awhile back: Quote
    Reminds me of the GTX480 SOC fiasco. Lots of them wouldn't run at stock clocks and RMAs came back no fault found.. Voltage increase or back off the clocks were the only solution..
    All comments on my problem are appreciated,
    Dan.

    Hi!  There are currently tons of unresolved issues with the MSI HD68xx series products.  Better off with non-MSI products and buy into the HD69xx series.
    Skip the HD68xx series as nothing ever works right.   SVET might get ya answers but Svet only works the Forums and if you really have issues  MSI company won't hear it from here.
    You need to contact the expensive route calling MSI themselfs which I heard Customer Support and Technicial Depts are worthless. I tried when I had HD3800's and even AMD/ATI didn't care.
    You are now a Happy Owner of a Bad Product.!!!

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashes with not finding a capable play module on a windows desktop with a AMD Radeon R9 200 series board.

    I installed Premiere Pro CS 6.0 on a brand new system.
    Win 8.1,
    i7 3.4 GHz on an Asus Sabertooth
    16 Gig memory
    AMD Radeon R9 290 Graphics Board with the latest drivers and Bios.
    On starting Premiere I get the (as I noticed quite frequent appearing) error message that Premiere cannot find a capable play module and the suggestion to update my video drivers.
    I tried everything I found in this forum or on the web:
    Installed the latest drivers
    Run the program as an administrator
    Updated the Graphics board Bios
    Updated Premiere CS6
    Started Gpusniffer in CMD-mode to find out what board it found and added that to the cuda_supported_cards.txt in the Premiere directory.
    All to no avail. The app will simply not start.
    The Gpusniffers report states:

    As I invested a lot in the CS6 Master Collection I am not considering an update tot the CC version, also because the same problem occurs in that version too.
    I would be much obliged if someone has an answer that truly will work.  This problem costed me the best part of two days’ work and fouled up my workflow considerably.

    ==========
    I tried to go into display settings and disable the Intel card. (this caused low resolution which is unexceptable)
    ==========
    This makes me think it's using that graphics "card" ( probably built into mobo ? ...called 'onboard graphics ? )
    This stuff gets tricky and sometimes the only way to make windows 'recognize' the pci graphics card is to actually take it out and boot, and then put it back in...
    Then you get mssg " windows detected new hardware" and you install the drivers...
    usually bios gives you choice of using onboard graphics or not ( but this too is wanky sometimes...sorry to say ...)
    I recently ( this past year ) had a similar sort of situation but have a desktop, where its easy for me to take off side panel and pull the pci-e graphics card and boot, and get that horrible low res default screen...turn off, install card, reboot etc...
    but anyway, it sounds to me like you're notebook is using that mobile graphics driver stuff and not the radeon. Somehow you've got to make it switch to that graphics card is maybe your solution.
    sorry I dont have notebook but maybe someone else here does and can help more...
    good luck.
    ps..its always a weird fact of life...when things aren't working 'right' something has to get done fast....
    edit:
    I dont know how much you know about windows stuff, but after you disable that intel thing and get your low res screen.. you DID try to update the driver for that card using 'my computer / device manager  '   right ??

  • MSI Ati Radeon HD4850 512 Mb. & AMD Radeon HD6850 1GB GDD5 CrossFireX Possible?

    Hello everyone! In this new topic, I'll try to capture a doubt that I have a few weeks ago! The question is this, I have a video card MSI ATI Radeon HD4850 ​​512MB and XFX Ati Radeon 6850 1GB GDDR5, and my question is whether these two plates can be joined to form a CrossFireX, ie the two plates running in simultaneously. I had the opportunity to read in other forums, there are people who form a CrossFireX, with the video card that comes in the motherboard, ie onboard plate ... I can say? From already, thank you very much! 

    this probably will not work, the card is too old

  • AMD Radeon HD 6570M crashes (MacBook Pro 2011)

    This is a problem I've been having with my new MacBook. Only a month or so after I got it, there is one major problem: The Graphics Card (AMD Radeon HD) crashes. So far, it has only happened while running BootCamp, but I don't want to blame it on windows (yet). Here is exactly what happens (every time):
    1. Screen goes black for a few seconds, gets some lines through it, and then goes back to normal
    2. Pop-up from toolbar says "Graphics card driver for the AMD Radeon HD 6570M has stopped responding and recovered sucessfully."
    3. Nothing happens for a few seconds...
    4. Screen freezes, black lines go through it, then a few seconds lator I get a grey scratched screen with color splotches
    5. Black-bordered blue screen that says "Your computer has shut down to prevent harm" (or something like that)
    One thing I've noticed is that it has only happened while playing a certain game, even though this game takes very little graphic processing compared to other stuff I've done on this computer. Of cource the obvious answer is "stop playing that game" but that still leaves a problem, that I would be avoiding.
    Note that this does not only happen while connected to a monitor. Also, as said in some other posts, this model of MacBook overheats very easily, and this only happens when it gets VERY hot. Could that be related?
    Has this happened to anyone else? Or should I call in for a replacement computer? OR can anyone tell me what to do?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jason,
    Sorry you're having a tough time.
    For video and rendering playback options, the software option is the only choice. 512GB VRAM on AMD and Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB. This is a late 2011 15" Macbook Pro.
    Right. You need 768 MB VRAM for hardware acceleration for the Mercury Playback Engine. In speaking with engineering and researching past posts, your GPU is underpowered and you will probably continue to experience performance issues and unexpected behavior with current versions of Premiere Pro.
    It is recommended to roll back to Premiere Pro CC.1 (7.1) and to avoid certain effects listed in this post: Performance crippled by 7.2 update - GPU Acceleration. See the recommendations from QE engineer, Peter Garaway.
    It might be time to begin looking at updating your hardware in order to take full advantage of your Creative Cloud subscription. We have an outstanding hardware forum should you need advice on upgrading your computer.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • XPS 8500, AMD Radeon HD 7870, TF2 Crashes

    Team Fortress 2 crashes my XPS 8500. I have an AMD Radeon HD 7870. It always crashes, ALWAYS. There are wild audio and screen artifacts associated w/ this. Often the card dies and I get a message that the card failed but then recovered. The game whites out and must be forced to close. Sometimes I get some kind of computer lock, screen goes black, fans are whirring. Sometimes the crash is at game load screen, right after launch. Sometimes crash happens 10-30 minutes in. It always crashed this machine, but recently the frequency is off the charts. The machine is two years old. Dell replaced the GFX card once with a new one due to failure. I have issues on other games on very rare occasions but TF2 is a guarantee crash. The card is not OC and everything else is pretty stock Dell.  I'm in Win 8.1. I've tried:
    Browsed Steam forums to little avail
    Tweak screen resolution
    Play in Windowed mode
    Lowered in game specs
    Roll back AMD drivers ( this makes things worse for entire machine )
    Turned ON Vertical Refresh + Open GL Triple Buffering
    Among other things
    I'm running out of ideas.  Is this a power supply issue?

    The EVGA 560 needs a 650W power supply with 2X PCI-E power connections. Card Length is not an issue with the XPS 8500.
    That card Works fine in my Inspiron 620.
    Getting the power adapters in after is impossible imho but you can plug them up BEFORE inserting and then carefully put the card in.
    Here is a better pic with better wiring.
    8.6 aka 9 inch cards are a VERY TIGHT FIT.  10 inch Cards are IMPOSSIBLE as are 12 inch cards. On Inspiron 620 or 3847

    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)
