  • MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G issue

    hi guys, was after a bit of help/advice.
     I swapped out my gigabyte GTX770 4gb O/C card for a new MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G card yesterday.
     At the same time I decided to do a clean installation of drivers and update to new 344.48 drivers.
     I uninstalled the 344.16 drivers and used driver sweeper as normal to clear out old NVidia files.
     I then tried to install the new 344.48 WHQL drivers from the nvidia site and I got a security warning stating the driver install could not proceed as the driver wasn't digitally signed
     I downloaded a new version of 344.48 from the nvidia website and this time the driver installed.
     However, when I tried to play the a game of BF4 or borderlands, I get an APP Crash error and the game freezes.
     I have just done a clean installation of windows in case I had corrupt anything during card swap over, and once again downloaded a fresh version of 344.48 WHQL and once again its telling me the driver is not digitally signed and I cant proceed with installation.
     I have managed to get the older 344.16 driver installed at the moment, but I haven't a clue what is causing this. I have yet to test the games after the clean windows install, but I have feeling they are going to crash again.
     I hope I don't have to RMA this card ;/
     My build: -
     Intel i5-4670k (stock speed)
     Corsair H80 water cooler
     Gigabyte Z87x-UD3H m/b running bios update F8
     XFX 850w black edition modular PSU
     16gb DDR3 1666 corsair vengeance
     MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G GPU
     Asus VG248QE 144hz monitor with custom gaming ICC profile
     Win 7 64 bit (all updates)
     cheers for any help guys

    I'd try to update the motherboard bios as well. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4481#bios
    cheers guys, I just flashed to latest F10b bios and changed pci-e slot from gen3 to auto in bios, running borderlands now for last 30mins in OC mode on card and no crashes or app hangs
    fingers crossed, this has resolved the crash issues.....still doesn't explain why the latest Nvidia drivers are saying I cant install due to no digital signature.
    I will try to update to latest 344.48 later and see what happens, don't want to mess too much at the moment as I've only just got this card stable....fingers crossed ;p
    thanks for your help guys

  • MSI GTX970 Gaming 4g Win 8.1& Win 10 x64 error code 43

    Good day. I`ve changed my gtx 770 OC from gigabyte to msi 970 gaming 4g. After windows loaded i have exclamation on gtx 970 in device manager - error code 43. Tried clean install new drivers with DDU. Tried all driver from 344.11 to 344.80. Updated bios for my mobo and video. Reinstalled win 8.1 x64  and win 10 tp - same error :( I was thinking that my card is dead and tried to install win 7 x64. And it works perfectly in win 7, no errors.
    Any thoughts how i can make it work in win 8.1 ? (tried to turn of gen3, standby and etc in bios. Hypervisor is not active in win 8.1 too)
    My Pc:
    cpu i4670k
    mobo z87p-d3 (f8 bios)
    ram 2x4gb kingston
    video msi gtx970 gaming 4g ( latest bios)
    psu zalman zm600-gsII
    1 ssd and 3 hdd

    sounds like there is some kind of compatibility issue
    have you tried MSI VGA drivers from smi web for your card?
    else ask your mainboard vendor for bios update
    other options/tips:
    * tell S/N of your card and save and upload its current vbios to check for updates
    * test the card in another computer with Win8.1 OS to verify if will works there

  • Electrical noise when a white background is displayed on the screen

    My iMac 27 mid-2010 got the LCD and graphics card replaced recently, due to the infamous dark spots on the display and some other video problems (vertical dotted lines on the screen).
    Those issues are fixed, but now I have a new problem that didn't exist before the repair:
    There is an annoying high-pitched electrical noise, but only when a white background is displayed on the screen. For example: When I open a blank page in Safari, the noise comes up. If I switch to another tab with a black background web page, the noise disappears.
    The noise is perfectly noticeable, and very annoying, when using the computer in a silent room. It is not related to display brightness, since it's always there no matter what brightness level I set.
    The Genius in the local Apple Store was able to hear it, so it's not a problem of perception. But he could neither find the cause nor solve the issue, so he returned the computer to me, with a vague 'its a normal noise, maybe caused by the CPU or the graphics card when they have to display white backgrounds'.
    Well, the thing is, this noise wasn't there before the LCD/graphics card replacement. I'm pretty sure about it, since I have been using this computer in a daily basis for the past two years and I know each and every noise that comes out of it.
    I would like to ask if any of you know of this problem. I've done a lot of searching in the internet, but couldn't find anything about this noise in particular.
    Thanks,
    Miguel

    Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
    Unfortunately, they have made up their mind about this issue. I even talked to the Store Manager, asking for a solution, but he pretty much ignored me saying he had full confidence in his team: if the genius says the noise is 'normal', then there's nothing more to discuss. Full stop.
    They just replaced a fan, which didn't solve anything, because the noise is clearly electrical in nature, NOT mechanical. I suspect it's related to capacitor resonance in the graphics card. The display and LED backlight panel seem to be OK, since the noise is not heard when I use the mac in target display mode via the mini-displayport input.
    I gave them this information in order to help with the diagnosis, but they didn't even bother to write it down.
    So far, the Apple Technical service seems very un-professional to me. I'm stuck with a defective computer for which I've paid 2.000 euros + Apple Care.
    Well, in this case, Apple doesn't Care at all. I can't even find an email address where I can submit a written formal complain.
    (Sorry for the rant)

  • G5 starts making Electric noise when Open Safari

    hi guys
    my mac is making electrical cracking when i start up Safari, and i even get the spinning beach ball. It's only with Safari.. Other apps and web browsers don't cause this.
    By the way , the cracking i'm referring is similar to when the computer normally starts up and loads the dektop.

    Hey thanks,
    It seems to have worked. I reseted safari . Well at first even with restarting i was still getting crack sounds but i restarted again and safari seems smoother and i didn't hear the crack sounds

  • ITunes high pitch noise when in full screen on 27" iMac11,1

    Hello,
    When running iTunes 10.5.1 in full screen mode on Lion 10.7.2, I get a faint, high pitch noise coming from my speakers.  If I run iTunes in a refular window, the noise does not manifest itself.  I can switch back and forth between one full screen app and iTunes, and the noise goes on and off and only manifests itself in iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I think I've found a workaround.  The problem doesn't only happen in iTunes, but also in the Finder's list view when in full screen.
    The workaround is to use Shades, a small utility that creates a uniform black color mask over my screen.  All I had to do was set the brightness of my screen to 100%, run shades and lower the "brightness" using that utility to something comfortable for my eyes.
    I think the issue comes from the high frequency flicker that the LED back light uses when the screen is being dimmed.  For some reason, the speakers pick up on it when in list view... Why only list view?  Beats me.
    Anyway, the Shades prefpane can be downloaded from the following URL:

    I hope this helps.
    All the best!

    here is latest vbios for your card
    Hi Svet
    Im currently using the previous bios version and want to update to the latest for my 2x GTX 970.
    Can i use the one you attached? 
    The reason im asking is because there are many that say each MSI GTX 970 have an unique bios between 5 different(?). For getting correct bios version you have to look at the cards serialnumber

  • Msi gtx970 gaming new vbios NV316MH.126

    Today, live update program  tell me that there is a vbios update...my installed version is NV316MH.125
    Do i really need this update?
    What are the changelog...

    A number column like "84.04.1F.00.F1" is no real vbios version despite gpu-z's wrong listing. These numbers can cover various versions even legacy and UEFI/GOP. Only the MSI version is relevant.
    Quote from: comiandrea on 08-October-14, 19:33:15
    i'll wait for more info about this vbios...
    MSI doesn't document changes in vbios versions so nobody except for an MSI bios engineer can tell you. If not especially released for a certain purpose (e.g. to fix a common issue) most users won't even notice any difference. If you want to ask MSI do so: >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • Msi GTX970 gaming 4g

    Hye guys.. want to ask is it ok that my gpu temp is at 79 degree when i play gamess

    owentsai - sorry, I disagree - 79 is WAY too high for this particular card. Unless he has poory ventilated or fully enclosed case, there is no way 4G should reach 79 with TF5. My 980 reaches 68 deg on OC with case fans off so mnct327 - no, this temp is not normal.
    can you check in afterburner if your fans are spinning and what speed? do you have them on AUTO or manual?

  • MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Temps

    Hi,
    I recently received a new graphics card from RMA.
    ono thing that i've noticed is that my old card would idle at around 32ºc and the new one at almost 50ºc.
    is this normal? should i be concerned?
    thanks

    during games like crysis 3 the highest temp i remember to see is 62ºc. never done any stress test with a specific program
    i know that's not much, since the fans only start to work at 60ºc, but i don't know if it's normal for 2 versions of the same card to idle at such different temps

  • MSI ge70 makes more noise when charger is plugged in.

    Hi, my MSI ge70 makes alot more noise when it is plugged in to the charger, i have the feeling that my gpu starts running harder...
    Is it normal that my fans start spinning harder when i plug in power?
    Regards

    jea it is , as I noticed it as well
    when you plug in your charger , your laptop has more Current to use eg. more power
    that means your laptop needs more cooling thus the higher fan speeds :D
    I also noticed that the turbo boost only works on AC , think that's why the fans speed up

  • MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

    I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
    Hardware
    Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
    CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
    RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
    Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
    PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
    SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
    Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
    Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
    OS: Windows 7 Professional
    Issue description
    The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
    It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
    What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
    When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
    Click sounds
    I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
    Tried fixes
    - Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
    - Disabed XMP -> problem persists
    - Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
    - Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
    - Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
    - Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
    Conclusions so far
    The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
    Who can shed some light on this issue?

    Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
    I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

    BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
    I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
    UPDATE
    I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?
