MSI GTX 560 Ti - Frozr II - SERIOUS PROBLEMS

I have struggling with this card since buying it.
On a brand new PC install with Windows 7 64-bit, there are artifacts all over the place.
Doesn't matter if I use nVidia's latest official drivers, nVidia's beta drivers, or fall back to MSI's drivers for the card. (Yes, I do clean installs, removing old drivers and even running ccleaner between boots and installs to be sure everthing is gone)
Games like WoW and BF3 or unplayable. There are also artifacts in IE 8.0 when web browsing.
From MSI and nVidia's forums - this problem is not unqiue to me, hundreds, if not thousands of people are reporting the same problems.
Some preople report the only fix that has worked for them is driving the card's default lock speed from the 880 OOB to 775 - that didnt seem to work for me using MSI utility.
This is clearly a serious design/driver issue which MSI and nVidia seem unable to address.
I will look for recommendations before dumping this card, asking for a refund, and moving to ATI's products.

Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II - Problem

Hey folks,
Im having a problem with my Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II video card.
I can't make it work with my monitor, all I get is "No signal detected"
I know the monitor is fine, because I used it as it worked all good when I plugged it into
my laptop. It's a BenQ G2222HDL monitor btw. It has one VGA (D-sub) and one Dvi-D input.
So i've tried all types of cables (VGA, Dvi-D and even Hdmi cables), and
still, can't get no signal. What can I possibly do to make things work?
Also, my computer acts a bit wierd when it's starting up. Usually, I would turn it on, then it would turn itself off really quick. Then I turn it on again,
and it goes just fine and runs smoothly. After I changed the position of some RAM modules
and such, it changed. Now when I turn it on, the fans spin for 1 and there's just a tiny bit of noise until
it turns itself off. Then I turn it on again, and it goes just fine with all fans and stuff spinning.
So, I really need some help!

Cpu - Intel i5 2500k, 3,3GHz, Socket LGA1155, 6MB with Noctua DH-14 CPU Cooler

Power Supply - Corsair HX Series 750 Watt Modular 80 plus silver (ATX 12v 63 amp)
Haven't got a chance to install os, but will install Windows 7 64Bit.
The monitor is a BenQ 21,5" LED G2222HDL (1920 x 1080, 5000000:1, 5ms, VGA/DVI-D)
More background info; I build the computer myself. Everything went mostly fine, except for that I had to spend quite a long time to get everything right.
I started the machine, and it all went just fine (except for rebooting and then running smoothly, as it has done ever since). I did the MemOK! test and everything seemed to be fine. But when using the VGA cable that came with the monitor, I couldn't get any signal detected (I used a VGA to DVI adapter to plug the VGA cable into the Msi 560 TI videocard). I used 2 different adapters, but nothing happened. I tried with a HDMI cable, just to test, and that did not work either. Then, I figured out I should order a DVI-D cable.
So I ordered the cable, and went on to plug it into my monitor and my video card, no adapters needed. Still, no signal at all! Tried a different monitor to check if it was the monitor's fault. Nope, still no signal. Frustrated, I used the VGA cable again and tried to plug the monitor into the laptop, which worked just fine. A clear, bright image appeared. But not with my desktop computer with the Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II. Nothing works when I plug in the cables etc. No signal at all, although the computer itself seems to run just fine with fans spinning up and the different components making noise etc. Thus, I figured out there probably was something wrong with my Msi Geforce GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II. Now I dont really know what to do.
Does anyone have an answer/advice/possible solution to my problem? I'm getting a tad frustrated now, seeing as I bought this computer 2 weeks ago and still haven't got to use it yet.

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC Problems

Hey guys, I just build my second new(er) computer (specs below, system 2), with this MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC, and I am having several problems. The first problem I noticed was was in Starcraft 2, I was having major texture stretching (looked like units were stretched across the map, exc.), so I tried a new driver to no avail. I delt with that problem and played for several hours to find that the screen turned black, then recovered (happened several times), which I was able to continue playing after. I went ahead and tried Battlefield Bad Company 2, and noticed the same texture stretching, but with big black shapes (almost looked like large artifacts), so I checked the temps, 74c, so that was not the problem. I continued playing for about 5 minutes before the screen went black, turned white, and the game became unresponsive. Thinking it was a possible PSU problem, I moved the card to my first system (specs below, system 1), and produced the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas, or is it time to RMA the card. Sad thing is, I am seeing alot of people having problems with this card, I hope MSI didn't do me wrong here.... :(
P.s. I flashed the newest BIOS for the VGA and the MoBo.

Unfortunately it has, and the artifacting only seems to get worse as time goes on (if the card/game doesn't crash right away that is...). I guess RMA'ing is my only option at this point, thanks for your help.
I'll chock it up to a defective card this time, but seeing all the problems with these similar cards from MSI is making me worried... I only hope MSI didn't do me dirty with this product.
No worries, call msi at +1.626.271.1004 within regular business days and they will take care of it

MSI GTX 560 Twin Frozr

When I boot up my computer it never shows anything on the screen, I tried to connect with HDMI and VGA but no results.
The graphics card is getting power becuase the fans are running, but NO image/display on the screen?
Help??

MSI GTX 560 ti & bf3

Hi,
I've had a look around the forums and seen quite a lot of other people with the same problems whereby battlefield 3 can run for a while and then it crashes with a choppy noise and i'm having to restart the pc.
Apparently the BIOS update is the solution for other makers of the card but we don't seem to have one and I think i'm up to date:
Display device : MSI N560GTX Ti Twin Frozr II on GF114 GPU
Display driver : ForceWare 285.62
BIOS : 70.24.11.00.00
GUID : VEN_10DE&DEV_1200&SUBSYS_23821462&REV_A1&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0
*EDIT* I've just read in another thread that altering the voltage to 1.062 and the clock speeds to 820 and 2000 mhz are the solution so i'm going to try this now and see whether I crash
*EDIT 2* Nope, crashed even quicker this time :/

Yea probably should've read the posting guide before posting sorry,
Here's my specs:
CPU: Intel i3 540
Mobo: ASUS P7H55-M, BIOS Version 08.00.15
GPU: MSI GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr II
PSU: Storm 900W (+3.3V/41A +5V/57A +12V/22A +12V2/25A -12V/0.8A +5vsb/2.0A)
HDD: Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 3.5inch 1tb 32mb Sata 7200rpm
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 (Not sure on the model as I can't really pull my pc apart now to have a look)
DVD/CD: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-107D
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Hope this helps, it's only BF3 i'm getting the problems with, can run anything else perfectly

GTX 560 tiTwin Frozr II Win7 64bits - My PC halt down!

Hello,
I have just bought a MSI GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr II, and I have installed in my computer with Windows 7. Once it was installed I upgrade the drivers, installing the Win7 64bits.
I used to play to COD MW3 with my old video card without problems but, since I have installed the MSI card my PC shutdown when I am playing. I have a 750W Power Supply, and I have monitoring the temperature of the GPU: 53 ºC just before the system go down.
I don't know where is the problem, because it only happens when I am playing (5 minutes of playing and say goodbye)
I hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Looks like you have a crappy PSU.
Your PSU is..?

NEED MSI GTX 470 Twin Frozr II VBIOS

Hi, I do not exactly know should I put this here or on GPU topic, but lets give it a try.
So, taken that I cannot find bios for the MSI GTX 470 Twin Frozr II anywhere on the MSI site
(the model strangely is not even present), and Im currently experiencing problems with it to the
point of being near to discard it - trying to flash its bios seems like something I could give a try.
Or it would, if I had the BIOS version to do it. So, could anyone help by posting the proper bios
for the mentioned card?
Thanks in advance

Okay, thank you,I will do suggested right away I get home.
Also, I would like here to expand of the problem, so if anyone has some other idea besides bios flashing, please tell. So, first I got my computer starting to freeze after some usage in game, and then even idling on desktop. Then I opened it, only to discover my Twin Frozr II cooler broke - with one fan not working at all, and the other pretty sporadically - just going and stopping in certain intervals. Seeing there is little hope trying to salvage it, I bought Accelero Twin Turbo 2 cooler. Strapped it on, changed the thermal paste, glued additional sinks on vram and such, put it inside, and tried to see what will come of it.
In the first moments was fine, temp dropped to 37 degrees. But after only a minute or two, MSI Afterburner showed GPU Usage on 100% on the Desktop, practically idling. Just to be followed with the rapid increase of temperature gradually in short time all the way to 105-110 degrees - and shutting down each time. To make sure it isnt something wrong with the cooler set-up, took it off one more time, reapplied the thermal, put it back together - and tried again. And experienced the same thing again. But sometimes it would stay stable, so I tried putting other graphic card drivers, but eventually the cycle would repeat.
Then I said - if it is maybe some kind of software thing, maybe I could reinstalling Win7. And I did. Only to find curious thing happening: graphic card remains stable (as in temperatures and GPU usage not rising sporadically without any seeming cause) as I surf the web. But as soon as I put it more to the load conditions, or try to Furmark it - and GPU usage hits 100% - temps just go near 100, and if I continue - it happens again as before - shut-down. For example, it cannot run the Furmark test for neither half a minute before going black. So, Im in curious position of seriously thinking of getting some new GPU, but still some hopes linger in direction of fixing this one. Only out-of-the-box-doable-thing that crosses my mind is flashing the bios. Some are suggesting baking, but do not feel so adventourus in this moment - cause it works in limited way, and I dont have at the time none to fill its place if it goes wrong. Also, does someone with baking experience thinks it really could help with problem like this one? And it goes without saying that Im open to diagnoses and suggestions what could still be tried out, besides the ones mentioned.
Thanks in advance

MSI GTX 560Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB GDDR5

Currently I'm experiencing a problem where no matter what I'm doing, whether it is gaming or browsing, green/orange chequered squares appear exactly as in the picture below:
The problem lasts for a matter of seconds and then windows informs me that the drivers have recovered from a failure. This is very remininsant, but not identical, to when I had a 9800GT that died. This issue has only started within the last month and the card is over 6 months old. Is this likely to be a GPU issue?
M4N72-E Windows 7 64 Bit Phenom II X4 950 3.0Ghz
Kingston Hyper-X 1066Mhz CL5 8GB @ 800Mhz CL4

Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - OEM
Thermaltake 500W PSU

Sadly I've no way of testing the card in another PC or a different PSU.
What is the likelihood that it is the PSU even though the card has been performing flawlessly for almost a year? Also I could understand if it was causing artifacts just when gaming due to power load, but it happened when I was merely surfing the net, where power draw doesn't even reach 300W.
Is a known solution to this issue an increase in Watts or is there a chance that it is a problem with the GPU?

MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr 2GB OC Bios question

I got the MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr OC 2gb version and would like to know how to verify if I have the newest bios for the gpu.
This is the newest version listed on the website : http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N770_TF_2GD5OC.html#download
And thats an ss from GPU-Z, cant find the exact bios version in that downloadable zip from msi website and i cant seem to find the date created for the bios I have on my card now.
Having some problems with gpu load drops and microstuttering, so wondering if a bios update might sort out my problems.

The vbios on MSI site is a different vbios series (NV282MS.331) and older than your current vbios. Your vbios (NV282MS.352) is dated 06/18/13 while the one from MSI site is dated 06/11/13. Both are legacy vbios versions (no GOP support). You can try the latest hybrid vbios (GOP support) which is NV282MH.351. It is attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

Gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc problem

I'm having problem with my gtx 580 twin frozr II/OC. everything is running fine but it crushes or video card lose focus when I run 3dmark 11 or try to play crysis. video output works fine, it plays metro 2033, star craft 2, dead space 2 just fine. It passed 1 hour of furmark stability test fine, 1 hour of OCCT test fine, passed OCCT memory test fine too. I didn't overclock it so it's at factory overclocked speed of 823mhz and idle temp is at 35c, gaming max temp during metro 2033 is 77c, OCCT test max temp was 88c. so I know it's not overheating problem. I have used both nvidia driver or 263.09 and 266.58, same result. it crushes during cutscene or after cutscene of crysis(i hear sound but no visual) and lose focus after initial loading on 3dmark11. vga bio is 70.10.17.00.01 and i am running on windows 7 64 bit ultimate edition. yes, i have updated to latest version of crysis and 3dmark11 too. still, the same. Is something wrong with this card during manufacturer place or what? I don't think this is just my problem coz according to newegg review, there were customers complain about this card gets crush during crysis. I also own gtx 570 from other brand and I was using it b4 I've got msi gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc. It didn't have any problem like this. Anyone know what's causing this? any help? I don't think RMA would help this problem at all coz card is not broken and works fine on everything just fine with no error or artifacts besides those two(3dmark11 and crysis).

OC is always risky and done at own risk.
Basically the max allowed from AB
We are not going to OC your card further,
but just to make it stable at default HW-OC speed

Gtx 560 ti frozr II driver questions

i just got a msi gtx 560 ti twin frozr. just a couple of questions, as this is my first nvidia card and have only used ati up until now.
Can and should i use nvidia drivers or should i stick to the msi drivers?
Also msi website gave me 266.44 driver and the cd that came with the card is 266.77... not sure which one is newer, i assume the website would be newer but i dont think any driver would descend in number.
thanks!

Always use the latest driver from the Nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html
i believe its 275.33

GTX 560 Twin Frozr OC - DVI Ports.

Hello,
i am the proud owner of a new GTX 560 Twin Frozr OC but i cannot connect both my DVI cables without applying a lot of pressure.
I seem to be missing a millimeter or 2 and the hard plastic doesn't easily give in.
My DVI connectors are 4,2 and 3,9 centimeters wide.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Should i just connect the cables by force?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Quote from: Shadowhawkje on 22-March-11, 17:12:24
It is, the problem is kinda solved already.
I just took a really sharp knife and removed some of the plastic.
Dont really like doing that but what else am i gonna do
Nice, so there wasn't difference in connections/pins, but just plastic issue

I just took a really sharp knife and removed some of the plastic.
I was done the same a few years ago,[5-6] with an brand new Fortron PSU,
the 24 pin connector refuse to fit in board'ss 20pin connector.. and the 4 pin from 24 pin PSU cable wasn't removable...
So i used this Tool, to split the 4 pin from 24 pin connector over the new PSU:
and after that it fit nice
