Msi g4 4200 64meg overclocking probs..

    using xp pro as my OS.  When I go into the msi tabs under display properties, and hit the tab to auto adjust the memory clock,  the circle test runs into some kinda failure and therefore i cant adjust my memory clock.  What gives and does anyone know how i can fix this.  When i boot using 98se it works fine...i hate windows.
any advice would be greatly valued.  i dont think i need to overclock this beast, but not being able to really bothers me

scottyrox,
Download the latest Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website. Install them.
Delete the file msicpl.dll from your windows directory.
Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
"Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
"NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
Take Care,
Richard

  • MSI Ti 4200 64meg

    I just got a MSI 4200Ti 64 meg. card today. I followed the install instructions and the driver seemed to install normally. When it stopped installing I got a message that said. An error occurred during the installation of this device. The data is invalid. I tried installing the nvidia 40.72 drivers but got the same message. I then downloaded the 41.07 driver from this site but again got the same message. After deleting what I could find in drivers I reinstalled my Leadtek gforce 2 Ti card and the 40.72 driver and everything is working fine again. I am running Win 2000 pro with service pack 3. I then took the card back and exchanged it but got the same results. What am I doing wrong???
    Thanks Chuck

    Have you tried installing the drivers in safe mode?

    Yes I disabled the Antivirus
    No I did not uninstall the drivers in controll panel on the first try but when it did not work I went to add remove programs and removed all nvidia drivers.

    No I did not try installing the drivers in safe mode.
    Is there a program similar to detonator that works in Win 2000

  • MSI Ti-4200 128 MB possible overclocking problem

    I have a:
    QDI Kudoz 7E/333A mobo

    MSI Ge-Force Ti-4200 128 MB

    Nec DVD-ROM 5500
    Windows XP SP 2
    NVidia Detonator (Forceware) 66.93
    Coolbits2
    I had overclocked my Ti-4200 to 285MHz Core and 585MHz RAMDAC using the coolbits registry key (boot settings). Everything worked fine for about a month, I have ran several 3DMark tests (mostly 2003) and many "heavy" games (Doom 3, Far Cry, HL2, Warhammer:DOW, etc) and no problems occured (crashes or weird graphics). The 3DMark 2003 score from 1500 now is 1700 and I am (was) quite happy about it. Yesterday I removed the 512 Ram and re-installed it after a while (had to remove the card also) and the PC, without having any problems at all (I was playing Dungeon Siege a few hours ago) suddenly, while in BIOS and DOS, the screen is filled with white dots (looks like Pac-Man    ) and while loading the XP logo I see thin vertical lines (red and yellow) and then the monitor closes while the PC still works. I tried running in safe mode, it loaded but I still had these lines on the screen. I removed the DVD-ROM and the WD HDD just in case (350W PSU) but still had the same story. I installed a Club 3D Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB and everything worked fine. I didn't install any Catalyst Drivers, I removed the coolbits from the registry and the NVidia drivers, re-installed the Ti-4200 and still I have the same problem. The card looks fine, no broken pins or anything. I also thought about a virus but this can't be, I triple-checked everything I installed and no viruses were found (and the Radeon worked).
    I fear the overclocking was not so good after all but I can't be sure. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanx in advance.

    Proves a theory im made at least, MSI makes cheap / fault video ram, your card is a gonner pretty much, those vertical lines and monitor shuitting down are known as screen corruptions that occur when the video ram is fried (in most cases), did you overclock it by 10%? Im wondering if you can RMA a card since MSI does guarentee 10% overclock on some cards so I here but I cant be sure, someone else needs to answer that question as for MSI, if your going to overclock, dont buy from them, Im quite peeved at MSI because the memory on their cards cant even handle stock speeds let alone overclocked ones.

  • Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

    I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
    my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
    Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
    Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
    Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

    mhuizing,
    nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work ,  i tested the connection with a friends computer
    exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!  
    My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
    Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
    i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free  :P !!!

  • MSI TI-4200 Win 98SE Rebooting

    I needed to create a Window 98SE disk so I can play some of my games that don't work on XP Pro.  I have used the latest drivers, but after I installed the drivers for the card, the PC reboots and goes into safe mode.  On my XP drive, it all works great.  How can I find out what the problem is?  How can I fix this so I can get to playing my games again?
    Thanks, Dean.
    FYI ...
    nVidia 45.23 drivers
    Intel 845PESV board with Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz
    1 GB ram
    WD 80GB hard drive

    Ok, my current confuguration is as follows:
    Intel DE845PESV motherboard
    Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz(533 FSB)
    1 GB of Kingston 133mhz DDR ram
    MSI TI-4200 Geforce 4 128mb graphic card

    Liteon LTR-48246s CDR-W drive
    Sony Floppy drive
    Windows 98 SE
    Promise Ultra ATA-133 (Tx2)
    After some additional research, I believe the problem is with the nVidia drivers.  I removed the drivers and had Windows configure the card as a standard VGA display card. Then everything boots OK, but only 16 colors.  As soon as I install any version (I tried 40.71, 44.03 and 45.23) of the nVidia drivers, the PC re-boots with a problem loading ndis2sup.vxd.  I don't know where to go from here.
    The games I want to play are Mechwarrior 2 Titanium additon and Mechwarrior 3. I have tried many configurations in XP but no good.  So I figure a drive with Windows 98SE will do the trick.  I have everything loaded except the graphics card.
    Is there any more info you need to help me?

  • MSI Ti 4200 random lockups

    Ive been trying to get a GeForce 4 to work in my computer for over 3 months now and I am getting very frustrated.  First I had a Visiontek Ti 4200 64Mb with a Soyo Dragon+ mobo and that would lockup any time I tried to play a video game.  The screen would get covered with colored blocks and i would have to do a hard reboot.  Then I decided to get a new Epox 8K5A2 mobo and used that with the Visiontek card and it still did the same lockups.  I sold the Visiontek card and now I have an MSI Ti 4200 64Mb card and that is doing the same thing too.  Last week I bought an Epox 8K3A+ because I had seen websites using it with the exact same videocard for benchmarks so I figured it has got to work.  Got the board yesterday and guess what, it does the same damn thing as the others.  I have a 600W Robanton powersupply that is designed for high-end servers.  It puts out 40A at +3.3v and 60A at +5v so it can't be my powersupply.  I tested both cards in my parents PC which has a Duron 750 and an Epox 8KTA3 mobo(350W Codegen PSU) and they worked perfectly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lite-On 16xDVD and 16x CDRW
    Netgear FA311 NIC
    600W Robanton PSU

    I upgraded my mobo to its latest BIOS version and it still didn't work so I swapped out my XP 2000+ for a Duron 750 and that still didnt work.  Then I swapped my PSU for my parents 350W Codegen PSU and it works , no lockups.  I just ran through 3Dmark2001 and it actually made it all the way thru. 8o Now I'm gonna swap the Duron 750 out and put my Xp 2000+ back in and I'll see if that works.  If not then I'm gonna have to buy a new PSU.  I'm gonna need some suggestions from people who have similar systems(Athlon XP, DDR mobo, GeForce4)

  • MSI Ti-4200 TD GPU GRAPHICS "LAGGNESS"

    I have bought the MSI Ti-4200 TD about 2 months ago and have installed it to my new D.I.Y computer. But it does noe seem to be running smoothly when I play games on my computer. For example, even for games like Warcraft III, C & C Generals and RalliSport Challenge. I have encounter small jams here and there during gameplay and the worst is in Rallisport Challenge where "laggness aka big jams and distortion" occurs at every 10 to 15 secs f gameplay which cause "dizziness" ...
    I have even download the following driver for update on the GPU and things seems worst. After I have uninstall the old driver from my Win2K and install the fresh new driver, I have found that the system does not indicates whether my GPU is running under 2x or 4x AGP under Control Panel > MSI Information. I am unable to adjust my MSI Clock settings as an error message appearing says that "DirectDraw Init Failed. The sample will now exit". I do not have this problem with the previous driver. ?(

    Well... Thanks for your advice, but I have already formatted my computer and re-install everything. Though now my computer and the GPU works well :]  and perform rather well, but I will still take your advice to heart when the next time I come across this problem again.  )
    May I ask to confirm again? Is is that if I meet up with this problem, I will go to my DxDiag and de-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer >> Re-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer. Am I right?
    Thanks again for your help :D !!!

  • MSI Admits to FSB Overclocking

    MSI Admits to FSB Overclocking
    They said in there next bios release, but maybe this is what messed us up with bios 1.3. Their cheating for the benchmarks and were getting screwwed in the end.
    MSI still hasnt answered any of my emails nor have they refunded shipping costs of my 875 neo mobo that had to go back cause they killed it with bios 1.3  :O

    set FSB:CPU in 5:4
    increase cpu vcore with small step
    increase FSB to 250,260,280.. you must testing if you put FSB to 250Mhz RAM will working at 200Mhz
    set CPU interface to default(not aggresive)
    thats mine thinks about that.
    expert will reply hope soon to corecting me if im wrong

  • MSI N460GTX Hawk (1GB) Overclocking Results

    I've had very good results with overclocking my N460GTX Hawk video card.
    For the past 6 months I've been documenting my overclocking results and had success with using additional cooling solutions to decrease the PCB and VRM temperatures.
    Check out MSI N460GTX Hawk (1GB) Overclocking  and Cooling Results:
    http://forums.tweaktown.com/video-cards/42319-msi-n460gtx-hawk-1gb-overclocking-results.html
    As of today (July 4th) the thread has only 93 posts. 
    My new N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack card is arriving in a few days and I plan to use my N650SLI-DS4 motherboard with an overclocked SLI setup. I'm curious to see how well SLI performance scales with an "ancient" motherboard. 

    Quote from:  by Unwinder developer of Afterburner to a similar Question in Afterburner support forum
    That's supposed to be that way, you WILL NOT be able to monitor voltage changes with any software tool reading voltages via NVIDIA driver.
    Hawk uses additional voltage controller chip which is adding programmable voltage offset to output voltage of reference NVIDIA voltage control circuit.
    None of tools you've mentioned support that additional chip and just show you expected target voltage (which doesn't match real value in case of adding an offset via that additional chip).
    Furthermore, that additional chip itself also doesn't support voltage readings, it doesn't even know which voltage is on its' input, it is rather simple IC which just trying to modify the input value by specified offset.
    That is why there is no (and there will not be in future, I've seen rumors that I'm working on getting voltage monitoring working on Hawks and I say that's not true) voltage monitoring for Hawks when alternate voltage controller circuit is in use.
    The best thing that can be done to see some form of expected voltage is approximating the output by displaying summ of NVIDIA reference voltage with additional offset, but that's by far not the best solution because both components (reference circuit and additional offset circuit) add its own inaccuracy.

  • MSI 785gtm-e45 gpu overclock?? could it be??

    Hi guys, I'm new in the forum. Last saturday I bougth this motherboard (MSI 785GTM-E45) and I tried to overclock the ati 4200 integrated gpu but I can't. There isn't an option in the BIOS, not even with MSI Dual Core Center, or AMD Overdrive or ATI Tray tools or ATI GPU tools... so I would like to know if this new BIOS version has te option to change the MHZ in GPU. Thanks in advance!!

    Yes, that may be the case.  But this is a Micro-ATX-Mainboard which simply does not have this option in BIOS.  What is the point of overclocking the low-profile onboard-video chip of a mATX-Board besides increasing the chip temperature?  Overclocking onboard video chips is not going to turn them into high-performance full-featured video cards either.

  • Msi ti 4200 problems

    i installed a msi 4200 agp video card today and have had nothing but problems. on the first boot xp did not try to install new hardware. In the display properties it did not recognize the video adapter. i tried to intsall the drivers from the installation cd but it said it was not the right files and did not recognize the path. on the second reboot no picture after windows boots. i have a gigabyte mb ga-7vrxp and am upgrading from a pci video card. any help would be much appreciated.

    Thatz Y... I won't switched to XP until it has really settle down...
    lambethduke, I know where you've got things wrong and its a common mistake as I have accidentally did it myself before ... You must have direct right click on your Display adapter driver and un-install... This will cause the screen to go blank during startup whenever you wanna install the drivers again, though you may be able to see part of the windows starting up... Next time, juz un-install the driver by double clicking on the driver and inside the profile click on un-install and this problem will never exist to you anymore...
    All the Best... :D!!!

  • MSI G4Ti-4200 problem

    Hey all, hope you can help me out.
    Having some major problems with installing the Ti4200 64 card on my system. My system continually crashes with it and no games or programs run for very long, freezing or just not loading, due to lack of virtual memory.
    I've downloaded the latest patch for my motherboard and graphics card so its not that.  Might be the psu as its only 300w so I'm looking into upgrading that. Could there be a prob with the motherboard, memory or psu.  I can't afford to upgrade all of them so is there a way of finding out which one it could be.
    System:
    Win 98
    Athlon Thunderbird 1.1
    FIC AZ11 motherboard
    765 crucial sdram pc133 (1 x 256 and 1 x 512)
    Maxtor Plus8 IDE 40 gig Hard Drive
    MSI G4 Ti4200 td-64
    Creative SB Live!
    Liteon dvd
    300w psu

    hi again,
    here are the specs for my psu.
    +3.3v - 15A
    +5v - 35A
    +12v - 10A
    -5v - 0.5A
    -12v - 0.5A
    I've since flashed my motherboard with the latest bios, probably not the wisest thing to do in hindsight as now nothing happens at all with the msi agp card so i'm running off my pci voodoo 3 2000 now. As far as the cmos is concerned, its got all the same settings as before and now i'm totally confused. I'm guessing a new psu is the order of the day.

Maybe you are looking for
