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?

  • 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 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

    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 ?

    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.

  • Geforce4 Ti4200 128MB (8870) TV out NOT WORKING HELP~

    OK so i just got my msi ti4200 128MB card...all excited cuz it has tv out and the whole deal.. installed the card works just fine.. but the tv out is not working. It came with the y connecter that has the Svideo and rca output. I hooked up the RCA output to my TV's video in and booted up the computer... in the manual it says u can go to the nview menu and  click on clone or something but that is all greyed out for me.. the primary device is in analog mode with no other options.. when i try to detect the device being the tv it finds nothing..what do u guys think.. what drivers are u guys using?>

    malukalu,
    If u using XP, try download the new nvidia detornator XP 40.41

  • 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?

  • Gf4 Ti4200-TD8X (MS-8894) Boot Problem

     ;(  This is my 4th or 5th pc I have built and when I installed this VGA board on my SY-KT400 Dragon Ultra (Black Edition), the pc will bootup and beep once, and continue onto reading the O/S but the problem is that not once did the video appear on screen. It just displays no signal. I've cleared the cmos many times, and the video card seems to be running fine, its just I get no video period. If you could help I would really appreciate it.  )

    EagerDeadlock,
    What are the specs on your power supply? You might not have enough juice to run a GeForce4 Ti Card.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • 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.

  • GeForce4 Ti4200 x8 msi.. need capture help

    I'm trying to capture video with my MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 x8 and the captured image doesn't stretch fully to the left and right edges of the screen.
    http://members.aol.com/nintsengado/phantStar.jpg
    This is an image captured from my xbox system, but it's just about the same when I connect my cable box to the card.
    How can I 'stretch' the image horizontally so it fits into the screen correctly?
    -Thanks

    When I just touch the video card a little with the power off (without removing at all), it gets back normal when I restart...
    The pins on the monitor cable maybe bent.  Can you try another monitor.
    Could be something loose somewhere on card maybe?  Bad solder somewhere etc.  When card warms up it can lose connection.
    What are the Power Supplies.  Can be the root of alot of problems exp with Gf4 (make and wattage of PSU can be the difference of it working or not)
    Bluesky.  I'm not familier with grounded AC plug.  Does this have three wires, or is it a separate wire???

  • Dual monitor problems with Ti4200-TD8X

    I cannot put the second LCD monitor to work with the Ti4200-TD8X card. It works mirroring the main display during the boot procedure and the black windows XP loading screen. When it gets to the blue login screen the second monitor shuts off and all options on the driver menus related to extending the desktop into the second monitor just grey out.
    Does anybody have some clues on this one?
    Thanks!

    Hi Guys!
    why do I have the strange feeling that I'm talking to my self.... alone....
    What a nice support service!....
    Anyway, let me share what I found and how I was able to make it work....
    I used the DVI-I to VGA adapter supplied together with a VGA cable without pin 9 connected... According to most recent VGA specs this line could carry optionally +5 V and is considered part of the comunication protocol together with pin 12 and 15 that allows settings data to be transfered bi-directinally between Video card and moitor. BUT, to make it work I also had to resort to the 44.03 drivers version!
    So, this confirms that there is a problem in the card, either at hardware level or at software level... Why does it work nicelly with the monitor connected to the VGA port and not with the seccond monitor connected with the same cable + adapter?
    This only means that the protocol/connections implementation was not consistent between both ports...
    MSI guys, please correct it!... and do not let us suffer alone in forum, talking to the walls... I'm disapointed... this was my first and last MSI product buy...
