MSI GP60 Resolution/driver problem

I bought my MSI Laptop a few weeks ago and then decided I wanted to get an ssd. I installed an OS (Windows 8.1) on my New SSD and everything seemed to work fine, except one thing. The Graphics is not like it used to be. According to the screen resolution options my pc has a resolution of 1920x1080, but the Graphics is a lot worse than before. I installed all the drivers but I still do not know what the problem is. I went to the nVidia options and double checked that I used the nvidia card instead of the Integrated Graphics, but still everything is kind of "bigger" and more blurry than before the installation.
Here are a couple of screenshots I took that might help you diagnose the problem I'm having.
http://gyazo.com/b9e1f805b3d51c5e86494a170edb5f52 - According to this Picture it is the intel HD Graphics that is taking care of the Laptop display, might this be the problem? If so, how do I change it?
http://gyazo.com/2bd91dd9d14d836998dab9a9ab8f5bef - Here is something else I find weird. Whenever I'm on my desktop the Graphics are decent, but whenever I got to My Computer or use the settings/setup of a program, all the text becomes blurry.
Help is greatly appreciated! (BTW using internet Explorer, so there might be typos)

I am on Windows XP PRO SP3 and i want to switch to Win 7 PRO SP1 but i am not willing to do that yet because of this problem.
If you switch to Windows 7, the driver is already included, so nothing to worry about there.

I got the CD with the driver but is from 2006 when i bought the PC and you can figure... driver is damn old.
Your board is old too. Doesn't matter if the driver is 'old', you can still install and use it.

MSI 180 - Graphic driver problems

Hi folks,
after cooling down my Mega 180 from 48 degree to 34 degree start-up-termperature (heatsink lapping, turn fans around, build in a fresh air duct for cpu fan) my system is running very stable - what a great lap forward after days full of frustration. Thanks to live update I have the newest bios (rev. 3.5) and drivers for my hardware installed. But I'm still facing some smaller problems, maybe is this forum I can find a hint how to handle that:
1.) TFT-drivers not accepted
I'm using a Hyunday Q17 TFT display and I never had any problems with my old system to identify this correctly. But with my MSI 180 XP installed 5 (!) default displays and will not accept the correct monitor driver I have. When I try to delete 4 of this 5 from the control panel XP re-installs them during the next boot-process. My question is: why 5 displays and why just default displays??
2.) Flickering and coloured stripes after booting
Sometimes, when Windows is alreday started, the display changes from the "Welcome"-Screen to some colourfull stripes and seems to be frozen. After hibernating and re-starting everything is o.k.again. Diver bug ?
3.) Black screen
When entering the windows desktop, the screens turn black for 1-2- seconds, then again it show the desktop, then again 1-2 seconds black. It looks like the driver tries out various video modes. But I don't know why ???
Conclusion is, that there seems to be a bug in my graphics driver. I tried to load the newest once via Live Update, then again directly from Nvidia website, but nothing changed. Any ideas about that ???
Any hints for me ?? Thankx in advance
Flo

Thank you for your reply. I think, i should try to describe my problem more clearer :o)
I'll check later, when I'm back home, in Nvidia driver are installed properly. I just checked, if there is a question mark somewhere in system control panel resource overview. But everything looks fine.
The flickering is a little bit more tricky: When starting the PC instead of my windows desktop a colorfull page of thousands of colourfull stripes appears and flickers like a rainbow. Windows is definitively running, I can can use all keyboard short cuts e.g.. It is not the type of flickering when running under low frequency. Maybe this, comnined with 2 seconds black display, is part of the famous "black display" issue.
My last machine was able to identify my TFT correctly as a Hyundai Q17. But at that machine it was connected by DVI, not the analog connection. Maybe that is my problem. I'm still looking for a small graphics adapter with digital out (nothing special, I'm really happy with the onboard graphic controller, I'm not a gamer), I'm afraid my old fullsize FX5200 might be too large for the Mega.

MSI NX8500GT-TD256E Driver problems

Hi,
I have a PCI express MSI NX8500GT-TD256E video card in a MSI K9AGM3-F motherboard. It was working prior to having to re-install xp (but on board sound wasn't), but after reinstalling xp, when I install the video card drivers, the screen becomes unreadable, just pixelated colours!
Without the drivers installed, just the xp vga drivers, the screen works good -32 bit full colour at 1024 - 768, but as soon as I install the Drivers - unviewable! I have downloaded the latest drivers from the MSI web site and I have even tried different drivers with same result, soon as I reboot - crap!
The video is ok without drivers installed, so I take it he card is working ok, Power supply 450W, and 18A at 12V, so that's ok,
but without the drivers installed can't use duel screen, new games etc. and sys info says video adapter not installed. (After reinstalling sound drivers sound working good.)
It is verry frustrating. Any suggestions??
Just a follow up. I unistalled driver, ran Driver Sweeper then NFR just to make sure I uninstalled driver, then installed driver version 1819. Still same result. If I press F8 and boot in VGA mode, I can see all the info on Video card, and the NVIDIA tabs are in display settings, but if I change the resolution the same results - unviewable screen with block colours like the old CGA colours. With no driver installed I can get 1280 by 1024 full colour 32 bits.
Anyone with any Ideas, please help.

It looks like drivers mess.
Do a >>Clear CMOS Guide<< {With power cord removed}
I suggest you again new fresh install, then install chipset drivers http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=driverfile&dno=2427&i=0

If no change test VGA in another machine

MSI X52P Combo Drive Problem...

Hello all
I recently purchased the MSI X52P Combo CD-RW / DVD-ROM drive to replace my old CD-ROM drive. Installation went well, XP Pro booted up, installed it's own ATAPI COMBO52XMAX driver and the drive appears as DVD/CD-RW Drive in my drive listing as expected. The only problem is, it will not read any disc in a normal XP Pro boot.
After investigating, the drive reads discs perfectly using my old Win98 boot disk which uses a different ATAPI driver (the drive flew through a dir *.* /s on the bundled 600MB odd Nero CD in seconds) and also works perfectly in Safe Mode.
As it worked perfectly in Safe Mode I took that opportunity to install Nero. I then rebooted and discovered that I can use the drive to burn a CD with Nero in normal mode (which reads perfectly in another drive) but again in normal mode won't read any discs including the one I burnt. I'm just trying to remember what the differences between Normal and Safe Mode are. They both use the same driver but doesn't SM use Real Mode Drivers?
Anyway, so far I've tried...
Every combination of IDE channel / master slave setup possible.
Updating the firmware, it's now the 1.40 version.
Checking this forum, seems other people have had similar problems.
A bucket load of things that perhaps only mad people would try.
For the record, there are no device conflicts and AMIBIOS reports it as VER 1.40 ATAPI COMBO52XMAX on boot up. Note, I have been building / tinkering / playing with PC's practically all my life but this is really the first time that I have been stumped with a hardware problem.
Any help / suggestions / ideas would be greatly appreciated. I know the drive works perfectly, just not in normal mode

AHA!
Getting somewhere.
Device Manager - IDE ATA/ATAPI - Secondary IDE Channel - Properties - Advanced Settings
Changing Transfer Mode from 'DMA If Available' to 'PIO Only' caused the drive to immediately spring into action and read discs of all types. However, I'm not happy with that so will fiddle further. PIO mode is processor intensive whereas DMA mode uses the disk controller to transfer data to memory without lugging the proc.
So without looking I am guessing that the difference between Safe Mode and Normal Mode is that Normal Mode tries to use DMA first whereas Safe Mode just uses PIO to be safe. My hard drives are happy chugging along in DMA mode so I'm sure the X52P should too.
Hope this information is useful to anyone else having difficulty reading discs.

MSI VOX USB driver problem (XP PRO SP2)

When I plug in the VOX to the USB Windows looks for the MSI MS8609 driver, but does not find it (even if it is installed). Then after a while it finds a driver called USB2800. I've tried to uninstall this an reinstall VOX SW but I can not change it into MS8609 !

Have you tried installing the drivers from the MSI website?
The drivers are available >>here<<.
Also, make sure your motherboard drivers are installed properly and that there are no yellow exclamation marks in device manager as that would also explain why the sound card drivers won't install.

MSi GT70 Bios driver problem for windows 7

You shouldn't install anything you find especially not from bios section! weren't you reading what it says there? Your laptop came with win8 pre-installed and you can't crossflash to a Win7 version. Please read the warnings.

The motherboard in BIOs has no PCIE option just PEG and dual graphics option.
any deviation from the standard VGA drivers blue screens windows ultimate 7 on entry.
also the card is not being reconised by windows and also BSODS the system when the drivers are loaded from MSI or ATI links.

any help appreciated , thank you in advance

Quote from: flobelix on 29-December-14, 03:07:37
What omega version? Is the APU disabled? How many vga adapters are shown? Show a screenshot of the device manager. Is the R9 270X connected to the psu? Does it work without the vag just using the APU?
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064
catalyst packages and optional downloads. i installed the chipset first then this R9 VGA. but it updates the chipset R7 aswell it is not a isolated install of the VGA.
YES the R9 270x is connected and fans spinning. yes the APU works without the R9 270x in the slot.
i have had to uninstall the VGa Driver that installed over the 6.01 chipset R7. so the standard VGA showing will be the R9 270x. i cannot update the driver using device manager , because the driver is packaged.

MSI Z87 G45 driver problem

I have a MSI z87 g45 motherboard along with a i5 4670K. I've downloaded all the drivers directly from the MSI website. But, I am unable to install intel_rst and intel_vga_mb. Windows says "system does not meet minimum requirements". I don't understand. Anyone got a solution?

Sounds like they are disabled in bios.
If you are using a discrete card and have multi monitor support disabled the IGD will be disabled by default.
Intel Rapid Start is disabled (and not really needed) by default so no worries.

[Solved] Problems with MSI GP60 2OD-410XFR

Hello everyone,
First of all sorry for my english.
Here it is, my problem. I bought one new laptop gaming notebooks (MSI GP60 2OD-410XFR), and i've got some problemes.
1st time i turned it on, it displayed two lignes exactly like this :
" Checking media presence
No media present "
Then, i searched the problem and the solution in internet. Some guys told me that i should change Boot mode devices: from UEFI to LEGACY. I did it but one more new problem has displayed:
" Intel UNPI PXE-2.0 (build 083)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v21.1.2(09/06/12)
Check cable connection!
PXE-MOF : Exiting Intel PXE ROM
Reboot and select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot deviece and press a key "
After that, i tryied to install Windows 7 because i think that Windows has not installed (because normally, logo Windows will be labeled on laptop if we've got one,and on mine has nothing) . But unfortunately, the blue screen has displayed after windows is loading files:
" Stop : c000007b {Bad Image}
....\system32\basesrv.DLL is either not desingned to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the programme again using the original installation on media or ..... "
Does anyone know what happened to my laptop and can you tell me step by step what i have to do to resolve them?
Thank you very much and sorry for my english once again.

Hello,
I can reply you in french if you want, because yu buy a NB sell in France, I believe you speak FR
About your NB, you buy one without operating system, so it's normal you don't start Windows.
The message about PCE are normal too because it's about the NB try to boot from network, so don't worry about that.
The only problem are fact you get blue screen when try to install Windows 7, look like your DVD/USB key are not good.
What do you use exactly and do you have another one for try and see if not link to your image are not good ?

MSI GP60 - mSATA slot?

Hi!
I bought a MSI GP60 this weekend and I'm expecting to receive it during this week. It's a "basic" version, and comes without the hybrid hdd, which I wouldn't want anyway.
As I don't want to buy a large ssd and I'd like to still have the 500gb HDD, I'd like to install an mSATA SSD if there's a free slot in it. Can someone tell me if my future GP60 will have this slot?
And if it doesn't, anyone knows where to buy a disc tray that replaces the original so I can install a normal SSD without removing the normal HDD?
Thanks!

Darkhawk thanks for your reply.
I finally received my GP60. Overall good impressions, given the price. Did not come with any operating system, I did a fresh install if Windows 7 64bit and used the drivers they had online. Comments/problems:
1. The configuration of my laptop was similar to the pics posted by Allan, meaning there was an extra connection beneath the wifi card - but there was no way to fit an msata ssd drive there anyways, mainly because of the capacitor. It wouldn't have worked probably.
2. Problem: The orange light stays always on, meaning that it uses nvidia all the time. I can't get it to work with the intel vga, although all drivers are installed and everything seems fine in device manager. The change should happen automatically right? Any ideas how to fix this?
3. Problem: The 5 out of 6 buttons at the top never light orange, as others have already mentioned. No idea why...
4. Problem: The G button does not work, opens a window to custom define its function.
5. The bios version it came with is E16GDIMS.30B, there are newer versions online but I can't for the life of me understand which version I should update to. They list different versions with respect to the operating system, since when does the OS have anything to do with the BIOS version?
I'd appreciate any advice I can get.

Serious external drive problems after installing Mavericks

OK, so now I am seeing multiple external drive problems. Here is my setup: A GTech 4TB drive connected to MacBook Pro via Firewire, formatted of 2 partitions of 2TB each (called GT1 and GT2). This is then daisy chained to two WD drives of 2TB each, called WD1 and WD2.
After installing Mavericks everything worked fine (in fact I have an amazing speed increase). However, after restarting my machine this morning I have the following issues:
The GTech is now a single partition called MyBook (obviously a hangover from the WD drives. I suspect the WD drive managment software) with NO data files. Interestingly it shows the following USED 1,106,870,272 bytes (1.11 GB on disk). This suggests that one of the partitions has disapeared completely.
Whilst WD 1 launces ok, WD 2 causes the Finder to relaunch whenever selected, meaning I can't get to the files. I remember having this problem before when I upgraded to SL, and it having something to do with hidden files that needed to be deleted via the terminal. However, I have searched the web and can't find the solution again.
Given that WD 1 and 2 are my backups of GT 1 and 2, then I now have a situation where I cannot access my primary or backup files for GT 2. Very impressive - not!
Can anbody remember the hidden file solution for the finder relaunch?
Can anybody help me get back my GT1 and 2 partitions (as they have the latest work on them)?

FIrewire & Thunder bolt drives are having issues with Mavericks, avoid same until a fix is issued if you can.
many are reporting same, there is a firewire fault and TB HD on external HD from LaCie (Seagate) and from WD especially.
Technicians are looking into it.
Until there is resolution, consider setting up a USB ext. Time machine HD.
Until then consider confining Mavericks use with USB HD.
Ive tested a very long line of USB HD on Mavericks, all seem fine.
Recommend anyone DO NOT ATTACH any WD MyBook externals (firewire, thunderbolt or otherwise).
I dont have same to test, so I dont know if the problem is in the firmware on the SATA bridge or if its a problem with the WD software

Msi GT683R "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error.

I bought a laptop before 6 months, installd windows 7 x64 and everything works fine. Suddenly, five days before I got this eror " Display driver stopped responding and has recovered ... "but the laptop operates normally, when not connected to the charger, the only difference is that the graphics card works only on P8 state 203/606/324. I've tried everything, install new windows, tried all the video drivers back 6 version, tried two different chargers, raised the voltage in the video card, flash the latest BIOS, flash latest EC driver, changed several types of RAM memory, installed win xp x64, all drivers are from MSI's website, tested temperatures (everything is fine, no overheating), blew video card out of the dust, new thermal paste, tried to change the regedit key (Microsoft recommend), the last windows update, etc, etc. I tried to OC video card with MSI Afterburner, but does not want to accept the clock (last nvidia driver version 314.07) ... On various forums I saw that a lot of people have a similar problem, but not the one topic has a problem with the charger. I tried all sorts of modifications to the 3D nvidia utility. Currently I run out of ideas, I thank you in advance for your help!!!

Hi "I have an MSI G683R and the problem started a month ago, but sometimes pc freezes, crashes or restarts, mainly for running games; temperature problems've never had as constantly monitoring GPU and CPU and never exceed 80 degrees, I have the latest drivers for all devices, besides that I have always been maintained by removing all traces of dust inside the pc.
I have tested the RAM, hard drive, CPU and passed without any problems, including stress testing the GPU and everything ok ", but as soon as the pc game freezes.
The funny thing is that this never happens while I play with the battery without direct current is connected, but it is annoying the fact the battery only play for an hour.

MSI RS480M2-IL audio problem

Hi, i just set up my new pc with the MSI RS480M2-IL mobo and i am having some serious problems with the sound. i installed the ac97 codec from the msi driver page and here is what happens, the sound works only when i switch it to 4 channel mode or higher. And the worst part is when i go to websites using the adobe flash to view videos i get no sound at all, also programs like ventrilo dont work either. now i tried to reinstall the codecs and everything but nothing is working. oh and the sound works when watching movies on media player and other sites that dont use adobe flash. HELP PLEASE.

where do i find these drivers, i checked on the realtek site and google and i could not find anything. would you happen to have a direct link that would be great. also lets say i open youtube and watch a video which used adobe flash ,and i click on sound settings on adobe flash, i can see the sound bar moving like the sound is playing. so i really dont believe its a software or driver problem, can it be that it is a hardware problem? if yes, is there a way i can find out if i still have the warranty left on it? thanks

MSI K9N DIAMOND boot problems

Hi.
I have given the main PC sig below to my son. And I now have / building
MSI K9N DIAMOND AM2 nvidia nForce 590 SLI 8channel audio DDR2 ATX
Corsair 1GB DDR2-6400 128Mx64 non-ECC 240 DIMM unbuffered 5-5-5-12
AMD 2x 5600 cpu
I have kept the PSU, wifi card.
(will update when up and running.)
When I put his harddrive (SATA) into his new PC it saw it straight away and booted into xp,without having to reinstall . Great.
I put my drive into the new AM2 board and I get three beeps (I read that's the USBs)
Then it either just hangs on a black screen or if i enable raid it tries then the BSOD code 0x0000007E which i believe is just a standard error message.
The D-bracket has 4 green lights...
does anyone know why I cant just boot up my drive like i could with my sons, is it because i'm switching to AM2 from 939?
When I enter the raid setup (F10) it can see the drive but next to where it says bootable drive which is normally a yes or a no it has N/A and I cannot change it.
I belive it is a raid/ driver problem I'm thinking its the AM2 upgrade.
I did not get any floppy raid drivers with my mo/bo.
If I reinstalled Xp would I need to install raid drivers during setup? (F6)
I have clears cmos
Many thanks for any help.

hello
I plugged my sons drive into my K9N Diamond and it is saying the same thing in the raid setup (F10) .....When you have the option to set as the bootable drive
Quote "set as boot drive N/A"
It can see the drive OK, I can delete array and rebuild it
Is there something in the bios that I need to tick or untick/ enable for it to boot from the drive?
any help would be great.
thanks
