MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB refresh problem

Hi all!
I have following WinXP refresh problem:
When I set refresh rate to value bigger than 75Hz, system tells me that refresh rate was changed, but my monitor still shows me 75 Hz.
My HW configuration:
Athlon XP 2000+
ABIT KD7 (VIA KT400 chipset)
MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB
IBM DeskStar 45GB 7200 rpm
17" AOC 7GLr
I have tried various graphic card drivers (both drivers that were on CD supported by MSI and downloaded detonators from nVidia), for my monitor i have correct drivers from AOC. I was able to set refresh rate to 100Hz using PowerStrip 3.3. In SiSoft Sandra Professional i found warning, that i should use PnP/DDC compatible monitor or video adapter.
Guys from AOC support told me, that problem is probably in my graphic card.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance. :(

I experienced the same problem with a new msi 440mx VTD (8x). I tried the latest detonator drivers (41.07 and 41.09) and could not get more than 75Hz refresh in any resolution, though the configuration told me it was 85Hz. In Monitor Inf my Iiyama MT-9017T has the specs 96kHz and 55-160Hz, that used to give me 1024x768@100Hz with my old graphics adapter.
my configuration:
Athlon XP 1600+
Epox KTA3pro (KT133a)
WIN2000

MSI GeForce4 TI4200 8X 128MB - PC Internal Speaker

My HW :
ASUS P4S8X (+512 DDRAM)
INTEL P4 2400+
MSI GeForce4 TI4200 8X 128MB
My problem is that when playing :-) D3D games, the PC internal speaker makes BEEPS continously with irregular intervals.
No problem with MS office applications .
No problem with DVD .
The motherboard BIOS is updated .
The VGA driver is too ( version 4107 ) .
I don't want to cut off the PC speaker .
Can anyone help me to resolve this problem ?
Thnxs in advance.

When warning (beeps with regular interval = about 500ms), the sound comes from the external speakers and I can see the "alert" in the history .
My problem is that these BEEPS comes from the internal speaker, and it sounds like this = 5 beeps in one second, two seconds nothing, 3 beeps in one second, long silence, then it starts again.
This drives me grazy.

What kind of TV-Out is on the 64MB Version of the MSI Geforce4-Ti4200?

It´s very important for me:
What kind of TV-Out is on the 64MB MSI Geforce4-Ti4200? And what kind is on the 128MB Version? (The same?)
Thanks

The hub is not compatible. It sounds like the unit is powering the link to the TC.. which would cause the TC to freeze up. You might need a special USB cable which has just data connection but no power.
It is really hard to get info on hubs that work.. particularly because there are so many around and many are changed .. eg if you buy a belkin this year it fails when last years one worked.. that is because all the manufacturer is farmed out to various factories in China who use .. the cheapest parts available today to build them.. next week it could be different.
The TC just doesn't have a huge amount of memory to store drivers for every USB under the sun. So some work some don't. The best I have found is the cheapest brand x USB2. I would not bother with USB3 since that chipset is even more unlikely to be supported than USB2 ones.
I have tried to get people to add to a database.. not much so far.

MSI geforce4 MX 440 install problems

This seems to be the most appropriate forum to
post this in - but if i'm wrong, please point me to the right place.
I recently got a MSI GeForce4 MX 440 board,
and installed it in a new system i built.
However, i'm having problems getting it working.
The machine is an AMD 2000+ processor with
a gigabyte motherboard, with AGP x 4 capability,
a gig of ram, a HD, CDR, floppy, and one PCI card - a soundcard, which i haven't installed yet. I have a Philips 107T Monitor, which worked fine with an old system. I'm running Win98 (not SE).
Basically, the system works aside from the videocard.
I try to install the video card, it installs the driver.
Then i try to change the video mode to something more than 16 color 640x480, it asks me to restart. I do,
and it either gives me a windows protection fault, or it just restarts automatically, and won't boot fine
unless i go to safe mode. Unless i switch to a standard vga adapter for the display, it will do the same thing every time i restart.
First, i tried running all the windows98 updates.
Then i downloaded the newest nvidia driver 30.00.
Restarted, and it does the same exact thing. I tried
to re-seat the video card, same thing happens.
It definitely displays - i'm using it right now in 16 color mode, but it won't actually run in any other mode,
or really even let you install it.
Anybody have ideas?
My thoughts are:
- try a newer OS (although the box says it works with win95/98 and more)
- try to swap it with another video card and see how my machine handles it - which is a problem since i don't have any others sitting around
email me if you have a good solution - [email protected]
thanks very much!

hi
i suggest you also ask here in the gigabyte forum

MSI GeForce4 Ti4200-TD8X unsolvable TV-Out problem?!

Hi!
I have a strange problem with my GF4. I can't get the tv-out to work and I've tried everything that has been suggested before. It's like this:
I've tried to install the drivers that came with the graphics card, I've tried the lastest ForceWare (or what it's called), I've tried older detonator. Nothing works. Not even TV-Tool can detect that I have a TV-Out. I've tried to "force" the computer to recognize the TV connected, and I do get 2 screens in "Screen properties", but still no picture. Only the one below.
The only picture I get on the tv is colored stripes. It looks like this: http://www.pc-extreme.com/artikel/guide/detonator-tvout-problem_e/. I know that the TV works and the cable, 'cause it works from a friend of mines laptop.
So, does anyone have a solution for this problem? Can it be a hardware problem? Or, hopefully, a software problem? Please help me!

of course I've tried this. Still nothing. no more tips or tricks?

XP won't boot up fully with new MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 TD64

Here's the deal. I had many problems installing any drivers for my new Ti4200 card. I tried many different drivers but invariably always wound up with this message:
---Start---
Cannot Install this Hardware
There was a problem installing this hardware:
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
An error occured during the installation of the device
The data is invalid
Click Finish to close the wizard
---End---
However, I looked around and found this solution:
---Start---
Why do I get "data is invalid" error when installing drivers?
This error appears to be due to a protection problem in the Windows registry under Windows 2000 and XP and can occur with a variety of drivers (sound cards and SCSI drivers have been reported). To fix this problem, go to Start, Run... and type "regedt32" without the quotes to run the Registry Editor. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI
and you will see a number of keys of the form "VEN_xxxx", where xxxx are strings like "1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_04". Under each of these folders will be another folder with a long numerical name. Open each folder and look for the "DeviceDesc" which matches the hardware you are trying to install. Right Click on the "VEN_xxxx" for that device and select 'Permissions' and then tick "Allow" for "Full Control". Close Regedit and then continue with the installation of your device
---End---
I did that and was finally able to install the drivers. Once that was completed, it asked me to reboot.
Now Windows XP doesn't boot up fully. It gets to the part where it shows the splash screen for loading Windows XP and then shows a blank black screen at the time I would normally see the blue background to login etc.
Anyone know what the problem is here? I think it might be totally unrelated to my driver installation problem. The only thing I could think to do is upgrade my power supply but before I do that, any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the specs on the power supply:
AGI HEC-300AR
AC Input: 115/230V 50-60Hz 6/4A Fuse Rating: F6.3AL/F6AL.250V-
DC OUTPUT +3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5Vsb
MAX.A 20A 28A 12A .5A .8A 2A
+5v&+3.3v Combined 165W Total Output 300W
Hope that tells you what I need. Just looks like random numbers to me.
Richard,
SB Live is in slot 4, how do I set it to IRQ 5 though? Sorry, I'm just smart enough to be dangerous with computers.
Thanks for all the help you guys. Keep the suggestions coming. Does it look like I need a new power supply?

MSI Geforce4 MX 440 8X problems

Sytem setup includes
KT4Ultra
Geforce 4 MX 440 8X
Athlon 2100
Aopen 300w PSU - FSP300-60 ATV (PF) 3.3v-28A 5v-30A 12v-15A
2 case fans
IBM 120Gb 7200 HD
NANYA 512Mb 133 2700 DDR
installed January 2003
The weekend before last the KT4Ultra died (confirmed by the shop). It booted up with the fans on, but stopped on the 4 red LEDs. The CPU and RAM were tested on another computer and proved working. Prior to this I had had problems with the computer not always booting up properly (not always getting to the Windows boot up) and odd things happening.
While I was waiting for the Ultra to be replaced, I bought another mobo - KT4V and and Athlon 2400 which I installed, The rest of the setup remained the same. I started having problems with the boot up where it stopped with diagnostic LEDs 3 and 4 RED (Testing VGA BIOS). Rebooting generally did not clear it. Swapped video cards in my old computer and both cards worked OK and both computers booted up. I put the Geforce back in the correct computer and it booted up OK.
It was also OK the next day, then decided to go back to stopping with 3 and 4 LEDs red and no amount of resetting or switching on and off could clear it. Gave up and went to work. When I got back in and tried it, the computer booted up, but gave a grid of white star type shapes all over the screen As the computer continued booting, the grid of starts then changed to vertical lines about half an inch apart. Resetting the computer made no difference. I tried the card in another computer and the result was the same. Put it back in the original computer - still the same.
It could be a coincidence, but it seems very strange having a mobo and a video card die when only around 3 months old.
I also did a norton diagnostic on the RAM this morning nad it came up with an error at address 5213 7984. When I rebooted the computer and retried the diagnostic, it came up with an error at address 7537 4592. I ran Memtest 86, but that didn't pick up any errors. I don't know how reliable Norton is (Norton Utilities 2001) or if the RAM is actually defective or not. I've put about 30 computers together in the past and not had any problems like this.
If anybody can give any suggestions as to what might be the cause of my problems, I'd be grateful.
Thanks
Roger

IMHO Norton is garbage...it's a marketing nightmare...McAfee has gone down the same road unfortunately and I do remember when they were a good AV solution...Norton on the other hand has been haunting users since their inception back in the days of DOS...it's just too bad that ppl believe they're the best because they sell so much product...reminds me of GAY-O-L...LOL
Sounds like your guy there is on the right track though so wait for your new card...let's hope this one is better :D
Cheers!! 8)

MSI GeForce4 Ti 4600-VT2D8X problems

Hello all, I have tried installing this with the drivers from the cd, Windows detection & let it search for the drivers, changed the BIOS to 1x AGP etc. Have read through the forums & no luck on anyone else having this problem. I have even reformatted a HD & tried it with a fresh install of XP with no luck.
?( PROBLEM: The vid shows up all pixelated & blocks (like ascii code) also flickering some. I haven't updated BIOS due to where I have read in the forums of some people having problems after flashing. Been holding out for the new LiveUpdate. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
TIA ! :P
SEARogue

Thanx for the reply Richard. Guess I wasn't clear on that part. I changed it to 1x because I tried everything else & nothing worked. The vid shares IRQ 16 with the onboard sound.
Thanx !

Ti4200 128mb boot problems on98se

HELP!!!!
I am running windows 98se 1000mhz processor 256mb ram (only 128 being used as win 98). I have installed my new graphics card as recommended in the handbook.
When I first installed the card and booted up my computer I ran the CD with the drivers on and could not install the drivers for the card as it said that it couldn't find the hard ware.
I re-booted the machine and windows found new software (graphics card) I installed the windows drivers then re-booted my machine. I then ran the cd with the real drivers on it and they installed. The machine then re-started. when it re-booted it asked if I wanted to install nVIDIA nview, I installed that. When that had finished installing the system re-booted. When it re-booted it shut down and then hung, the monitor was not switched on by the computer at this point.
After re-booting again I used the DVI to VGA connector to connect up to my standard CRT monitor. This booted up fine. I then installed the video capture software. The system re-booted.
It hung again on start up displaying nothing on the monitor. I switch the monitor over to the standard 15pin D plug, restarted and the machine booted up, displayed the windows 98 loading screen then the monitor switched off. I then put the monitor cable back into the graphics card via the DVI adapter and the display worked correctly.
If I try to re-boot the system with the monitor in the adapter then it hangs on start up. If I use the D plug then it doesn't display a picture after the windows 98 screen. If I disconnect all the cable the system boots fine with and without the adapter being in place.
I have replaced the graphics card with my old one and that works fine still.
HELP!!!!!!!! I really dont understand what is going on... how can having a monitor plugged into the machine make it hang on start-up??? and how can I fix this problem........?
thanks for you time and effort in advance

Your a great moderator! Fortunately, I dont see, nor have I seen any program attached to the virus, so I dont think its ever been used (i could be wrong). I check my processes frequently for suspicious programs, and after installing new things. I also check all the start up items in msconfig.
The only thing im not sure of is how to change the IRQ. Do i need to switch from ACPI to APM (or whatever the other mode is) to do it, or should I just try moving PCI cards around?
Thanks

MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 TD64

I know I can OC my card to 300/600 but... it's stable?. It won't burn??? How long is good to use it OC'ed???
And my P4 1.7 is OC'ed at 2. It's safe to keep it like this?

Quote
It's safe to keep it like this?
By definition only the default settings are safe.
If you want an opinion (which might be wrong, there are no garantees for overclocking) it is safe as long as you add RAMSinks and get a better GPU cooler.

Msi KT3 MoBo / MSI geForce4 TI 4200 Problem

Hello, hopefully someone can help me. I am having a rather unusual problem. Least I think it is. I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram. AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card. First of all, what agp settings should i use? 4x? 2x?. Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes? And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?
I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898! This seems a little low to me. Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000. I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers. Are these bad drivers? None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2. It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage. Can anyone help me? I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn.

I am using Windows XP Pro. I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA. I am also using a 32bpp color depth. The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically. I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have. Man do I fell like such a n00b.
Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked". Where is that at?
Thanks to all who have replied. :D I appreciate it.
