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!

Good luck,

  • 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

  • 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.    

  • 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)

    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:

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Problems installing MSI GeForce GTX660 Twin Frozr OC video card

    I recently built my first gaming computer and everything worked...... except installation of the MSI GeForce GTX660 Twin Frozr Gaming OC video card. I have an MSI Z87M Gaming motherboard and an Intel i5 4670K processor. Running Windows 7 Professional and 8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM. I've tested the card on an older machine with a first generation PCIe slot and it installed and worked fine. When I install it on my computer everything is fine until I turn the computer off and reboot, and then nothing comes up on the screen. Are there some BIOS settings I'm missing or some conflict I don't know about? - Kennard

    Add card's S/N and a copy of the current vbios (save it to file, upload it to some filehoster and add link). Also list the bios version the board is at.

    US Robotix 56K modem (until NOV. 20, 2003 when cable broadband available   )
    I run all my games on WME so that I have more RAM available for the game (XP is memory hog) and because my flight control setup (CH Force FX {14 programmable buttons}, CH Pro Throttle {20 programmable buttons}, CH Pedals) is not recognized in WXP.
    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.
