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

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

Yes, should not be issue.

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC

Hi Svet
is that still the latest bios for a MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC ?
The GF110.rom ?

I asked before in this thread -> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159374.0
Its the same card im using so i didnt see a reason to open a new thread and i didnt want to create more clutter for a small question.

Old(er) BIOS for MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC ?

Does anyone know where to obtain older BIOSes for my videocard (see subject)? It seems I made the mistake of not backing up the old one when I flashed to the new official BIOS that was released by MSI (https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/msi-nvidia-graphics-cards-from-570-580-series-read-here).
The problem with this updated BIOS is that although it does increase the default voltage a bit, making it more (but not entirely) stable in certain games, it also causes instability during boot when the card is in VESA mode - I get to see funky pixels, sometimes BSODs when booting Windows. Once it is booted and the login screen appears, the pixel artifacts are gone and I can play games for hours - it's just during boot where the card seems to be flaky.
Considering that I can just increase the voltage for better stability using Afterburner, I'd like to try and flashing the original BIOS for my card that I had on it originally which I believe was version 70.10.20.00.01 - I guess I can't be a 100% sure that these problems are caused by the updated BIOS, but all I know is that none of the problems described above were present with this older version and they appeared immediately after flashing the update

Quote from: aphax on 02-June-12, 02:21:58
This is the currently flashed VBIOS (retreived via GPU-Z) that fixed the booting issue: http://dump.aphax.nl/files/580gtx/GF110.rom
Ok, this is latest bios version for your board

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II Oc Clocks stuck

Hello,
since a few days ago i dont know exactly since when its been this way my clock speeds for my gpu are messed up. Stock clocks are supposed to be Core 800 Shader 1600 Memory Clock 2048 but Afterburner shows me 797 - 1595 - 2046. The first time i´ve seen this i didn´t think much about it because of the Beta status of Afterburner but even with the new Release (Afterburner 2.2.0) the clocks stayed. So i´ve experimented a little around tried to overclock a litte in 10 mhz steps thats when it got weird. The Clocks change but not to the mhz i set them to for example:
Set to 820 - 1640 - 2058 i get 823 - 1645 - 2055
Set to 850 - 1700 - 2088 i get 851 - 1701 - 2079
Set to 900 - 1800 - 2100 surprisingly i get 900 - 1800 -2098
so i think you get the Idea. So it seems to me the GPU is damaged even if it runs almost without a problem. I say almost because i sometimes get a GPU load drop while Gaming from 90 to 0 and then back up again not longer for a second and this happens every time an NPC in Skyrim starts his dialogue so iam not even sure its related so except of this maddening issue everything seems ok no bsod no driver stopped responding no issues whatsoever. I did not find anything about this kind of issue anywhere on the web so i thought i ask a professional. :>
Help plx
btw in GPU-Z the GPU Core clock is even weirder is shows 797.3!
Edit: Dont know if relevant but here are my System specs
i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz
Asrock Extreme 4 Gen 3
Gskill Ripjaw DDR3 1333 8Gb kit
PSU Be Quiet Pure Power 530W

Quote from: Ciwk on 24-April-12, 07:07:57
Doesn´t do anything still 797 - 1595 - 2046
so the 1st one is core-shader-memory, if yes i don't see the problem

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2 - Fan weird nose at startup - is this normal?

Hello.
When i start the computer the fans on the graphic cards always gets a weird nose like they dont know how fast they should rotate in the first second, after that its normal.
I recognized that if i have the computer layed down instead of standing up this doesnt happens, but i asked on some swedish forums and they said this is normal for the graphic card fans to be a little noisy for the first second when you start the computer. I recorded the sound of it and will upload here.
This is how it sounds: http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/4dcfc02753275_MOV00547.3gp

I have checked them but i will check again.
Just to get this clarified:
Is it normal that i get that sound when I start the computer?
I always have the computer chassi standing up anyways, and i have double checked the motherboard standoffs and will do that again.
Just to get this cleared out:
Is it normal to hear that sound in about a second every time i cold boot the computer?
Quote
I have checked them but i will check again.
best try with mainboard out of PC case, over a wooden table as there could a shorting issue.
Quote

Depend, but its not normal for sure to have such noise if the PC case is in UP position, and to do not have noise if its in DOWN position.
E.g. this should NOT depend of PC case position,
which suggest weird factor like mechanical issue, or some kind of shorting issue.
From hundred of VGAs tested i've noticed such forced FAN at boot only if there was abnormal shutdown before this.
E.g. running PC, then pull out the power cable from the PSU, e.g. sudden power lost.
Then at next boot, the VGA FAN is forced at max RPM for several seconds during boot time.
The is no such FAN force for any other situation, say press reset button, or from each one power up from case power button.
But only from unexpected power lost.
So i would say its combo between the mainboard and PSU.
But basically its sort of checking either there or not and not really a issue.

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!

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.

GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2 tri sli heat problem

Hi all,
I ordered 3 GTx 580 Twin frozr 2 OC from amazon and while i was checking on the card i found servral people saying these cards can run pretty hot in SLI or Tri SLI and the top card temp reach 100c!!! is it true should i be worried i already bought them im waiting for them to arrive with reset of my build. my PC case is Lian Li P80B.

Of course they are hot.
Each of them has 244 tdp. It's 750 wt from graphic cards alone.
Even some electric heaters consume less.
If you are planning to have this kind of setup (with no space left for the upper card to "breathe"):

GTX 580 Twin FrozR II - Card Broken?

Just bought myself a MSI GTX 580.
Im getting a problem where i get moving lines across the screen going up and down from left to right. Its hard to desribe but its like interferance, best way i can describe it. It also makes everything grainy.
Ive tried loads of different drivers. I only get it when i actually going to a game, dont even get it on the menu screen.
If i take a print screen it doesnt show up and if i try taking it with a camera it is to faint to show up.
I have tried several monitors and i still get the same problem. I have no idea what it is.

GTX 580 TWIN FROZR II OC Artifacting and crashing

Hello everyone on the forum I'm currently a new member to this forum.. What i'm going to be explaining to you guys is a serious thing

what the problem is.. I don't want to RMA the videocard, well of course i do but i don't want to tell my dad cause he will like freak out a little bit i think
cause my computer cost alot of money, anyways there must be some solution to the problem..? Everyone is saying MSI Afterburner will fix the problem
for you i've tried that ALOT, i'm even running it right now, i've increased the volt, decreased clocks, i mean.. can someone tell me a good setting for the
video card? Like seriously it's not stable..
I've tried this....
1. Use Afterburner [Just need a good stable setting maybe?]
2.Reinstalled my computer.
3.Updated drivers also i've tried to change to beta drivers.
4.Picked older versions of nvidia drivers..
Please help me? :(
Some quick specs...
CPU: i7 2600K Intel.
GPU: GTX 580 TWIN FROZR II OC
RAM: 8GB RAM DD3

Btw: I'm thinking of updating Vbios, but will that help? I'm not so good in overclocking, so help would be needed..
Also maybe change PCI-E cabel? that's connected to the graphic card?..
I think the warrenty is off, i contacted MSI for a while ago they said i had it left and they were able to change it to a new one that's working but
.. yeah, don't know what i should do! Some people that got their card replaced didn't help, they still have the problem..
Thanks for taking your time and reading my newbie post.. if you want pictures, i'll send them below..

None the less let's concentrate on the vga. When does it show artifacts. Right when starting 3D, after some time or randomly? If possible add screenshots.
It's very random when It's going to crash, i have 2 pictures showing how it could look, also just want to say that sometimes when My computer tries to reset The card, i can get a bluescreen.

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?
