MSI Geforce 4 ti 4200 8x 128mb problems

I have recently purchased a 128mb 8x GeForce 4 ti 4200 video card, and i am having great dificulty geting it to work properly. Here are my computer specs:
Motherboard: Abit KA7-100 (latest bios update installed)
CPU : Athlon Slot A 800Mhz
Ram : Crucial 512mb PC133
OS : Windows XP Pro / Windows 2000 Pro (latest updates installed)
DirectX : 9
Harddrives : 1 Segate SATA 120 GB
1 Western Digital 8mb cache 120GB
1 Western Digital 27GB ata 66 (boot drive)
2 Western Digital 40GB ata 100 drives
Here is my problem: I can install the drivers for the card just fine, but whenever i try to play a movie (avi, mpeg), 3d game (or any game that uses the 3D part of the card, my computer freezes. I've installed several different versions of nvidia drivers for the card on my computer, but the outcome is always the same. The 2D usage of the card works just fine, but whenever a 3D program/game tries to use the video card, the computer locks up. I have noticed this effect when I bought a GeForce FX card as well. My previos Vid card was a Visiontek GeForce 3 TI 200 which runs very well no matter what I use it for (and after the abuse i put it through too... XD ). I have tried about 5 different drivers for the ti 4200, and have had the same problems.
I'm currently going to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram next week, but I'm dumbfounded on why these newer cards do not work at all on my motherboard. If you can help me this would mean a lot to me.
My current mobo only goes up to agp 4x, but i hardly think that would cause the vid card to freeze whenever i try playing any 3d game.
Can someone help meh? :D thnx.

Hi,
It's been posted a couple of times but since I don't see any success stories yet; here's my problem. I hope you guys can help me out. I have tried to specify the system as much as posible but let me know when more information is needed.
When I play 3D games (and sometimes when I leave my PC without screensaver or 'doing' something) my system locksup after a short time (sometimes after 10 seconds other times a few minutes)and the whole PC locksup, I can't even use ctrl+alt+del to get out. My PC is brand new.
Important! The problem does NOT excist as soon as I install a different videocard, being a a Radeon 9200. However I would like to use my MSI card as it's performance is better.

Msi GeForce 4 4200 frame rate locked at 60 with Windows 2000

Lost here..... I have an MSI Geforce 4 4200 120MB Video Card slotted on an Asus A7V motherboard - AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz processor with 640mb of ram.
There is a common problem with the Nvidia chip and Windows 2000 in regards to a lock frame rate at 60fps within games.
I've tried several programs to fix this i.e. "Refresh Lock", "Windows 2000/XP Nvidia Refresh rate lock", "PowerStrip 3.15" and "NVFresh Tool 1.0"
But nothing seems to work. I'm sure these program work with older Nvidia cards but not with GeForce 4.
Any Ideas? I even turned the Vsync off and on.

(A little advice: If you can, dump XP and install a copy of Windows 2000 second edition. They both have the same KERNAL but I find that Win 2000 is much more compatible for now. I give XP 2 more years before it's the OS for all. I've reinstalled 6 systems with Windows 2000 because of compatibility problems.)

MSI Geforce 3 WDM and bios problem plz help!!!

Hi
I have a MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Pro-VT and when i install any detenator driver above 23.11 then the capture card wont work! The driver for the capture device says it wont start so i am stuck with 23.11. I have tries later WDM drivers and detenator drivers but they all give the same problem! I have also tried to flash the bios but live update 2 says Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function which it is supposed to have. When i go directly to the bios page and try to update it then the update fails. The flash program seems to think that i have a different card or something but my system information says that i do. This it the information:
VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
VGA Card Model Name MS-8850
VGA Card BIOS Vendor NVIDIA
VGA Card BIOS Version 3.20.00.18.03
VGA Card Driver Version 2311
Can someone please help me cause it would be nice to have the latest drivers working for the card.
Thanks
Nixus

I downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin
Cheers

MSI GeForce NX6600GT VTD AGP display problem

Hi!
I have MSI GeForce NX6600GT VTD AGP installed on ABIT NF-7S 2.0 (latest bios) with Athlon XP 2400+. Power supply 350W.
I had radeon 9200 running without problems, but if i install 6600gt, monitor goes on standby. It looks like monitor receives no signal from graphic card.
But computer boots normally - I can even log on to Windows! (log on sound from speakers when i enter password)
PS is rated 13A at 12V. Fan on 6600gt IS working.

Hi!
Tried card in 2 different computers with same results. Seems that card was DOA

KT4V-L and MSI Geforce 440 TD8x Corrupt graphics problems

Hi all,
My mate has just recently bought the geforce 440mx MSI card, before this was a bog standard Geforce2 mx card.
Since we've put the card in, after a few minutes in windows the screen gets all corrupted which I'd put down to overheating somewhere, however the card has only been on for a few minutes AND it's not even hot, same for the cpu.
We're using the latest MSI drivers from the site, I'm not quite sure the BIOS is up to date yet but will check that next, but we've had no problems with the GEforce2 before this.
I'd probably put something down to the 8x AGP here but I'm not overly sure, has anyone got any ideas please?
many thanks
Wayne Lee

Hi,
When that type of corruption starts, it normally means that the GPU is overheating.
You better bring the card back and get a new one, as it seems to me that the GPU-cooler isn't cooling much :D
Another problem can be too little power from the powersuply.
My best guess is the GPU-cooler on the vid-card :D

MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 DDR (Direct3D problem)

I bought the MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 DDR just today and I seem to be experiencing Direct3D issues. I never have problems with general use of the video card, but when I try to play games that require 3D acceleration I get crashes (Blue screen of Death). The reason why I think it is the Direct3D is because I only get problems when attempting to run 3D accelerated games, and I've downloaded a couple video test programs off of the net and they have crashed when testing 3D as well. ?( I just ran dxdiag and it failed when I test Direct3D:
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)
Questions: Has anyone had this issue before and is it fixable without me returning the card for a different one?
Thanks,
Brent

Sorry about that, I should have put that in the first message.
I run Win 2000 server and I did a clean install (format drive) when I got the new video card. I have a Pentium 3, 800 Mhz 256 MBs RAM. The motherboard is an AOpen AX3S with all Intel chips.
My previous video Card was an ATI Rage Fury 32 MB and it ran all my games with Direct3D, but usually with low frames per second.
The only thing I changed was the video card and the drivers of course. I'm really trying to avoid sending the card back. ;( Any suggestion would be helpful.. Thank you!
Brent
P.S. I tried to run that 3D Mark program that people use to test their video cards and that failed before it finished, so my score must be 0.

MSI GeForce 6200 128MB running DVI 1680x1050

Hello,
My VGA is MSI GeForce 6200 128MB. VGA driver is GeForce 175.19
Monitor is Samsung T200 with native resolution 1680x1050 and DVI input.
When I set resolution to 1680x1050 using DVI output, desktop is streched wider than screen and I have to scroll down for taskbar or scroll right to show clock for example. Setting resolution at 1680x1050 using analog output, it looks fine except that desktop icons are slightly streched verticaly.
How can I get correct picture in DVI? Is it driver problem and what version is recommended to install?
Thanks&Regards

Alrite thanks, I’ll see what I can do. A friend told me that older drivers might be more convenient for 6200 and he mentioned 91.31. So I might go with that.
Also browsing other forums I found this solution, and they said it will work well with static screens but not so well when playing games. Well this might be the last alternative, providing I don’t find solution with drivers.

MSI GeForce 4 TI 4200 and random lockups

Orm,
To start with your power supply could be too weak to run the Athlon XP(Guessing you have an Athlon XP) and the GF4 under load. 150W combined and 14A on the 3.3v RAIL is not enough.
You could try removing your your firewire, sound and nic cards, and unplugging your two CD Drives.
See if you can get any farther then. Also get the latest Detonator Drivers from the nVidia Website. They should be on 41.09 now.
Good Luck,
Richard
P.S. Which OS are you running?

Msi geforce 4 ti 4200 vtd8x few questions

first off i know the stock clock speeds are 250/512, now my first question is what have you guys been able to overclock the card to on the stock top tech cooling from 250/512 to what speeds?
also 2ndly the msi geforce 4 ti 4200 vtd8x video card it has a jumper, ive never had a jumper on my video cards before, what is this jumper for?
go here to see it here
the jumper is green in this pic and it is right under the big copper thing on the right side of the card looking at it from the pci slot, where the pci slot is the bottom of card

ok i now know what jumper does, this is response form msi tech support "That's a jumper to switch video BIOS. If somehow the video BIOS goes bad after flashing it or other reason, you can switch the jumper and use another BIOS."
now id still like to know what youve been able to overclock the ti 4200 vt8dx cards to with the stock top tech cooling to

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

Problems with MSI GeForce 7900 GT/GTO. Please Help!!!

I purchased an MSI GeForce 7900 GT/GTO last summer. At first it was working fine. I would get the occasional automaic restart in the middle of a game, but other than that it was fine. Now, almost a year has past and the product I payed good money for isn't working as it should, to say the least. I get many artifacts in all the games I play. The artifacts are the same in each game, although they more numerous in some then others. The objects in-game are connected by "ropes". There are strange colors on the walls. Sometimes the screen starts flashing different colors and the artifacts become impossible to ignore. I've had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out of a game numerous times only to be greeted with a flashing desktop. Then I have to do a hard restart. It seems that the problems are getting worse as time goes on. The artifacts were not this bad before, but now I can't play 30 min. of any game without having these graphical artifacts. The glitches are worst in the Tomb Raider: Aniversarry demo and Test Drive Unlimited. I also see the artifacts in Half Life 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas. I haven't overclocked my card at all and my fans are working as they should. The temperature of the card is running at 55 degrees at the moment. I believe during games it goes up to around 65 which I don't think is bad. I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers. I sent an email to customer service explaining to them what the problem was. In the email I asked them to email me back as soon as possible to let me know what information to send. I have yet to recieve a reply and its been almost a week. When I payed for the card I didn't expect that it would fall apart in less than a year. This is just outrageous and I am disgusted with the "customer service" that MSI has to offer.
(Some of the artifacts, such as the flashing colors, couldn't be captured in a screenshot)

+3.3V/30A +5V/45A +12V1/18A
have a try with better one, your VGA required at lease +26A on +12V.
get a decent PSU, single rail with high amperes on +12V (30A or more are recommended)
read here:
PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth
Is your problem caused by your PSU?
Good PSU recommendation:

but 1st thing to test it, have a try VGA in another machine.

Problem with new MSI GeForce FX 5900

Just bought a new MSI GeForce FX 590 TD-128.
I removed previous drivers and video card, installed the new video card and attached the power cable, and booted my machine.
When I boot the machine I get no picture....just a blinking cursor in the top left hand side of the screen. I thought maybe it was a power supply issue (350W PSW), so I tried installing the video card in another machine with a 400W PSW. I get the same darn blinking cursor X(
Anyone have any ideas what causes this? Do I have a defective card?

Are both those boards AGP 3.0 ??
I have a Soyo Dragon K7V Dragon+ and a ECS K7S5A. The website for the Soyo board is:
http://www.soyo.com.tw/products/proddesc.php?id=37
It mentions a Universal AGP Pro Slot and support for AGP 1X/2X/4X...but no mention of AGP 3.0.
The ECS board is at:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/products/pd_spec.asp?product_id=192
and only mentions AGP 4X support.
Does the FX 5900 only work on the newer motherboards maybe?
Quote
If it doesn't work on any board then it might be bad, but 350w and 400w don't mean much so it's also possible you have a power problem.
Both power supplies are made by Antec. Seems unlikely that neither machine would even boot...but I've seen stranger things
Ideas?

MSI Geforce fx5900xt problem

ive made a post about this already but it went un answered
this may be a problem with my computer and not the card
i had my fx5200 hooked up and was playing bf1942 and when i played something weird would happen
to put it in words the screen would beat like a heart even when i was still i could notice a slight twitch on the screen. I assumed the 5200 was to poor of a card to run bf1942 so i purchased a msi geforce fx5900xt
the other day i was running a benchmark and noticed the 5900 was doing it also
What can cause this problem and how can i fix it?
please reply thanx

unclekreepy,
In all honesty, you might need to consider the power supply in your rig,
it might not be adequate, this is one of the major components that’s
overlooked by many builders, home and or professional, when upgrading
there hardware!
If the PSU is inadequate you will experience, lockups, shutdowns, sudden
or random reboots, BSOD, and numerous other instability issues!
A 300 Watt PSU might not have enough wattage for your rig to be totally
stable, Athlon’s and FX cards are power hungrey!
I would borrow a friend’s higher watt PSU to see if that makes a difference!
PSU are sensitive to heat, an increase in temp equals a decrease in watts!
Always buy a quality named brand PSU like a Antec, Enermax, Fortron,
or the best PC Power & cooling!
This thread by clarkkent57 on “Choosing The Right Power Supply” is
a great place for you to get started, in this thread there is a link to a
PSU wattage calculator, there you will be able to calculate the correct
PSU wattage your rig will use, and remember to add 20% minimum
to 30% more watts onto those figures, and in return, those figures
should tell you if you have a PSU related issue!

All the drivers work but when I try to install the Nvidia drivers it just says there isn't a compatible graphics card available. Upgrade my motherboards BIOS to 1708 which is the latest one. Still didn't make it work. Hope that anybody can help me because I want to start gaming!

Problem with MSI Geforce FX 5200 & Westinghouse LCM-22W2

I've tried a bunch of different drivers and the highest resolution I can get displayed on this monitor is 1440x900. it's native resolution is one step higher, 1680x1050. Anyone have any ideas as to why my card refuses to display anything higher than this, even tho the latest drivers i have and all MSI's information specifically states that it should be capable of doing so?
Thanks,
-John

here's my specs - if i'm missing anything important let me know.
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon XP 2100+ (overclocked, recognized as 2700+)
MSI Geforce FX 5200 VTD128
1 GB RAM
Win XP Home, SP2 completely up to date
The Nvidia drivers are version 6.14.10.9371 released on 10/22/06 - I had a newer version but they didn't fix any problems, at this point i'm honestly not sure why I went back to this version :P - I had the absolute latest version from Nvidia's site, which the release notes specifically stated supported the Non-traditional 1680x1050 resolution, and that the FX5200 was supported by these drivers. Still didn't work.
The GPU Bios is 4.34.20.23.08
Also, upon startup my system was kinda hanging and I would get a notice that SW20.exe had crashed. I disabled sw20.exe and sw24.exe from starting up when the PC did and have no problems. It's not liek I miss them, cus I never used the overclocking functions of the graphics card anyway.
Originally XP was recognizing my monitor as a "Plug and play" monitor. The manual says this:
"VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the LCD monitor."
Right now the monitor is running with a custom inf file that PowerStrip (Which I downloaded from a link I found here) created for it. Westinghouse has no drivers or anything remotely helpful on their website.
Also, I'm using a Dual-link DVI cable, the monitor also has a VGA input.
