MSI Geforce 4 Ti4400 woes and complaint

Well I have to say that I will never buy another MSI product as long as I live and will not let any of my customers (I'm in the PC bus). I have my third replacement card that I waited for over a month to come back to me that has lasted less than 12 hours. Same old video garbage issues that I seen others have adn my first two cards had. Before you all go talking about P/S I have an Antec 430 true power. During the month that I waited for the replacement I called each week for an update and no one could give me an ETA just that they were backordered. Tell me how a manufacturer can not know the status of their own supply chain, the last time I called they used the Port strike as a excuse. WELL MSI I have had it with your product and your support!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are were thinking about buying a video card from these guys LEAVE THIS SITE NOW and look elsewhere to spend your money!!

I went to my local computer store which is Best Buy and got a PNY :D maybe its your Motherboard??grab someones card and try it in your board, then you will know for sure Maybe something in your OS also. Drivers not completly uninstalled ?I have seen some threads where people have said there could be bad batches of cards. Check the serial number,
are they very close in number say 00005 00006 00007?

  • 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 Ti4200 bios woes

    HI, since i flashed my video card bios, I have developed a couple of problems and want to flash it back to a previos bios (i used the tool to do it so not sure which i now have), however I cannot find a VGA bios archive anywhere on MSI sites or others. Can anyone help point me to them please, and the manual flashing tool.
    Problems are...... corrupted display when resuming from sleep, and the startup screens are way too wide until i get into windows, not a problem until i try and get into bios and cant see the writing on the left/right as its cut off.yes i know i can adjust monitor but i shouldnt have to.
    Thanks.

    as for the IRQ adress, it there anyway to retrive them outside windows? i cant really get in for too long, although the hardware manager says everything is working normally.

  • 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 ???

  • 2 MSI Geforce 7800 GTX Duds?!?!

    I just bought two MSI Geforce 7800 GTX's and both seem to be faulty.
    I've tried them in single mode, SLI mode, and on multiple computers
    Both computers are MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum / SLI
    2 GB Corsair RAM at 3 3 3 8 1T
    One is an AMD Athlon 60 3000+
    The other is AMD Athlong 64 FX-55
    Both cards freeze on starting up windows right before the Windows XP PRofessional Loading screen. This occurs in SLI and in non-SLI mode running one card, as well as running on two diferent motherboards
    Not only does it freeze when starting up windows but when trying to do a windows install as well freezes on the "starting up windows" portion when i tried to reformat
    I have tried updating the BIOS for the MSI boards, it did nothing.
    This was an upgrade from two MSI 6800 GT's
    Should I return the pieces to the retailer?
    Thanks =/

  • 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

  • KT3 ultra2 MS-6380 and my Geforce 4 ti4400

    Hello everyone! The other day I started up my computer and all I got was various lines of horizontal and vertical colors. After I would restart it, it would start up normally without a problem. Now I can't even get it to start up normally. I decided to put in my mom's voodoo 3 card and that works just fine. So then I decided to put my Geforce 4 into my mom's computer. Her computer consist of a P3 450 with 256 SDR ram. My card works just fine in her computer with no problems that I was having on mine. I have tried new drivers for my video card and motherboard chipset. I have also reformatted my computer and that had no effect. Also, when I start up now, my moniter doesn't even turn on, like the computer isn't sending anything out. Once I restart it again though, it does not do this...usually.

  • MSI Geforce 4 MX 420 - freezes and crashes

    Right, ok people, hi, now, i'm sorry that this is a newbie question which has gone before many times, but i dont know much about any of this so i need an explicit answer which will tell me exactly what i have to do. And to a guy who know nothing about computers, trying to wade through this entire forum to  find the answer is tricky.
    :D
    Ok, heres the o-so familiar problem.
    Computer freezes in windows, causing slow downs and currently it resets itself when this happens.
    I think i got the idea that the Geforce was slowing down.
    It also wont run some games, which i'm sure were running before the Geforce - Star Wars Supremacy for example, but it runs others, such as Homeworld.
    I also vaguely picked up the idea about power.
    My power supply says 200 watts, with a peak of 235.
    I have-
    an ASUS A7S333
    A duron 1.2ghz
    MSI Geforce 4 64 mb
    Hauppage Win TV card
    3com lan network card
    256 mb ram
    56k modem
    So i guess the question i'm asking is: what do i do to solve the problems (simply please, i'm an idiot)

    *bump*
    Sorry to bump this, but i really could do with an answer, its not helping uni work when the damn thing resets every so often (although i can usually see it coming) and i know everyone else is also trying to get an answer, but if anyone can help out i'd appreciate it. I'm pretty sure the power output problem is the right one, but i would like to hear it from someone who knows more about it than i do first. (will a 300W supply be enough? and is there anything else i'm going to need?)
    Again, thanks for your time.

  • MSI Geforce Ti4400 possible on K7T266 pro mb?

    I am thinking of buying myself a MSI Geforce Ti4400 card to my MSI K7T 266 Pro motherboard. I know there were some issues regarding Gf4 cards, but as far as I know it only applies to the mx versions of the cards, or am I wrong here?
    There aren´t any problems fitting the card to the mb I hope (like transitors in the way etc..).
    Thanks!

    Had my Creative (MSI) GF4 4600 on a K7T266PRO2 before switching to a KT3Ultra.. no problems.. The MX are not GeForce4 really..

    I received HALO as a birthday gift. It loaded fine. I ran it and it continually locked up at the main menu screen of the game. The Audio part of the game continued to advance, but the video got stuck. My wife loaded the game and tried to run it and got the same results, she has only WXP for an OS on an MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 RU motherboard. She upgraded her MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro drivers from MSI 44.03 to NVIDIA 52.16 and HALO then ran flawlessly.
    MSI has upgraded drivers 45.32 and Nvidia has upgraded drivers 45.23. Both of these drivers locked up my machine each and everytime I installed them. My machine runs the NVIDIA 56.12 drivers without any problem on Windows XP PRO. I had to uninstall the MSI 45.32 and/or NVIDIA 45.23 drivers and reload the MSI 44.03 drivers to get WME to boot up. HALO will not run on the 44.03 drivers. One of the techs from microsoft called me at home the last two nights in a row to try and resolve this issue. Conclusion at end of night one was updated video drivers needed to be installed. Conclusion at end of night two was that there was a hardware problem with the the conclusion that video card was not accepting drivers above 44.03 for the Windows Millenium Edition Operating System. There was no listing at either NVIDIA or MSI video driver site for any drivers beyond 44.03 other than NVIDIA 45.23 or MSI 45.32 respectively.
    The burning question is this: As with some of the previous NVIDIA drivers are the new releases compatible with all of the operating systems? I ask this because looking in the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers folder that gets extracted I see references in the read me file to W98,W98SE,WME. Why does the MSI Geforce 3 Ti-200 card accept the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers with WXP PRO and not the NVIDIA 45.23 not the MSI 45.32 drivers with WME (and I assume W98 & W98SE?)
    Interested in the response.    
    Thanks.

    Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

  • MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard

    Hi!
    I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
    I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
    When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
    I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
    What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
    Any help would be greately appreciated!

    Ok, thanks for the advice.
    I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer.  When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this?
