MSI Gx700 ex edition Graphics card drivers

Hi, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Nvidia's graphics card drivers for my gx 700's 8600M GT, seen as though I am currently running on some drivers from 2007, when I come to try and install the driver it says it cannot detect any hard-ware that is compatible with the software even though that is the one that was recommended to me by Nvidia! The version I am trying to install is version 186.81 the version I currently have has a date of 01/11/2007 and is version 7.15.11.5680
I don't know all my system info but here goes.
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 Ghz
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT w/ 512 MB RAM
2 GB System RAM
Windows Vista 32 bit with SP2
Any help would be appreciated

MSI doesn't update drivers unless there is a reason to do so.
Just because nVidia releases a new driver package doesn't mean the drivers are updated at all.
What I don't get, if you need the latest, then it's obvious you need it for gaming, but then you would have upgraded to Windows7 as that's better for gaming.
Or you are doing an upgrade for no reason, but such is silly.
For these onboard-chips, nVidia decided NOT to release generic drivers.
Why? Is a mystery to all of use, but nVidia does a lot of strange stuff the last couple of years.

  • Display Problems After Installing Graphics Card Drivers

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem that's got me stumped?
    I've just upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive, Sound Card, Monitor) - the only things that haven't changed are my graphics card and PSU.
    I've built the system, installed windows and the motherboard drivers, which all work correctly.  But after I install the graphics card drivers and reboot, the display becomes all scrambled when it loads into windows.  The display is fine with the initial boot and up until the Windows XP screen, with the moving bar comes up.
    The graphics card was fine in my previous system and I have tried my old monitor, but neither works.  I've updated the BIOS, using the MSI Live Update program and have also tried various versions of the nVidia drivers (including the latest).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    ****UPDATE****
    I've now managed to install the nVidia drivers and now windows loads normally, but after a short amount of time the screen scrambles again. 

    I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition Graphics Card advice wanted 2008 Mac Pro. Eight core desktop.

    I have read some threads yet it is not clear to me if it is a good move to upgrade an Mac Pro eight core 3.1- 2008 to use GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition Graphics Card. I ask as my GeForce 8800 GT 2008 card has given up the ghost, and it has done sterling service R.I.P.. The machine is in the repair shop for a service itself, and this problem. So I thought an upgrade, as I am at it. Daunting choice out there. Um, learning curve and all that!
    I mainly do 2D graphics, Canvas, Adobe stuff, yet a little amount of video, which may grow some. No games on this work horse!
    So here I am fishing for experienced advice were my own is not, from anyone who has done this. Has it held up, do you get a boot screen, does it run two monsters easily via DVI.
    If you have one or something good fitted please share the skinny!
    For me it is turning into the year of the video card. My laptop looks like it got the disease first!
    Thanks.

    #1: AMD 7950 Mac Edition, or not. $425
    #2: GTX 680 Mac $625
    #3: MacVidCards - various but worth a look
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/macvidcards/m.html
    #4: GTX 285, no idea how 'safe' as often read someone (not Macvidcards) flashed PC card and sold as "Mac" and they are old, and may not be supported in Mavericks (and that would apply to a 8800 too).

    Check out Barefeats, again, for ideas if you want 'near best.'
    A new gpu is $5000 cheaper than an overhaul and new MP.
    A 2008 though will never perform as well as later models. Ideal is 2010 or later.
    Even a top of the line iMac with GTX if you are having a lot of trouble and thinking of ditching the 2008.

  • Satellite L500D-16L update graphics card drivers

    I'm trying to play Harry Potter 1-4 on my laptop but it hasn't installed properly and bugs in the 1st scene. I contacted the game manufacturers about it and they told me to update my graphics card drivers but I can't find where they are on this site. Does anyone know how and where I can update the drivers?

    Hi mate
    All Toshiba drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    Satellite L500D-16L belongs to the PSLT9E series.
    You will have to choose this in order to get all drivers for the notebook.
    But in many cases the driver versions are not similar to the latest versions available on graphic card manufacturer pages.
    The point it that Toshiba drivers are modified and released fro mobile usage the ATI/NVidia drivers dont support overheating protection which helps to control the GPU temperature.
    So usage of such drivers is always at you own risk

  • MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

    I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
    The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
    The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
    Any ideas , someone?
    Tekrar!

    Thanks for all replies!
    I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
    "Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
    If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
    "Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
    I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
    As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
    "Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
    Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
    Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
    So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!
    Tekrar!

  • MSI GT70 DRAGON EDITION Graphics driver issue

    hi,
    i purchased a MSI GT70 DRAGON EDITION wich came with an Arabic version of windows 8 (purchased  in saudi arabia).so yesterday i did a clean installation of windows 7 64 bit Sp1 and for my bad luck my 4GB graphic card was not running.i checked in device manager it shows 2 graphic cards one of it is the onboard Intel graphics 4000 and the other one was just vga. i tried installing all particular drivers for it but it says graphic card not supported.
    please help me out with this.
    regards,
    robin

    Quote from: raywww on 30-December-12, 12:27:21
    thanks guys.
    now i can see both the Intel hd 4000 & nvidia gtx675mx in device manager.
    now i would like to know how to switch to nvidia .i tried disabling Intel but then both graphics cards are not working.
    please guide me .
    in nvidia control panel it shows the laptop display is connected to the intel HD4000 how do i move it to nvidia.
    regards ,
    rob
    What exactly do you mean? Like when you want to play a game? You need to open up the NVidia control panels, go to "Manage 3D Settings", and then in the right most pane, click on the "Program Settings" tab. In there, you need to add each game/program you want to use the NVidia adapter with when it runs. This allows you to only use the NVidia adapter when you're running programs that require that graphics card. Very neat, and cool feature.

  • MSI GS70 GTX 765 graphics card issue

     I've been using the laptop for close to 8 months and had no problems with it until I felt the need to plug it to an external monitor via a mini dp to DVi cable. It worked perfectly for a few days. I watched a few seasons of house of cards on it and one day, all of a sudden the external monitor is blank and from here on it doesnt work when connected to an external monitor. i tried the hdmi port instead, i tried the other mini DP port. I also tried a lot of different things like updating the nvidia grpahics, updating the intel graphics, I uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers, finally after doing all of this and getting no results, i restored the laptop to its factory settings, thinking that this must be a problem that windows 8.1 caused. Even after getting it back to windows 8, its still the same. in the device manager, under display adapter, right next to the nvidia geforce gtx 765m, there's a hazard sign. So that means it detects the graphics card, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I tried installing a varied bunch of nvidia drivers too, if that means anything . Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    I've posted results I got from GPU-Z. The clock rates of the GPU seem to be at zero. I'm glad that it is getting detected, but there's still the hazard sign in the device manager. What gives? :/

    1. Make sure the mini-DP to DVI cable is not damaged first. Borrow another laptop or machine to try the cable to make sure it's okay.
    2. Remove all NVIDIA drivers and install the NVIDIA driver from here: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS70-STEALTH.html#down-driver
       Select your OS to download. Remember to check "Perform a clean installation" while running NVIDIA driver installer.
    3. Press Fn+F2 to manually switch on the video output (MSI shortcut key function).
    4. Press Windows+P to manually switch on the video output (Windows function).
    5. If none of the above worked, update your BIOS & EC & remove all power sources of the laptop & poke the reset hole on the right side. Then power on again.
    6. Try step 3 & 4 again.
    4. If still none of the above worked, I'm afraid you may need to send it to local authorized service point to find & fix the problem.

  • Trouble with Sapphire HD 7850 mac edition graphics card

    So i've recently decided to updagre the graphics card from a HD 5870 to the HD 7850 mac edition.
    It has a toggle switch for different firmware requirements of different OS's. It works great when I have it in "Mac OS X/Windows (non-UEFI compliant)" or "Windows (UEFI compliant)" as long as i'm booting into Mac OS X. With the former option i can hold down option to get a boot screen whereas with the latter the monitor becomes active as soon as you're logged in - as expected.
    However as soon as i go to boot into windows by selecting my bootcamp drive from the boot menu (switch in position 1 on GPU)  it goes to a nice BSOD and i have to force restart my computer. Does anybody understand why this card won;t allow me to boot into windows like my HD 5870 did in this manner?
    Secondly, i figured I would try to bypass the boot screen by throwing the GPU switch to position 2 ("Windows (UEFI compliant)") and then go into system preferences and select the windows volume to startup in. However ever since i installed windows i haven't been able to boot in this manner...when it restarts i get an error saying that there is "no bootable device" which makes no f****** sense because i can boot into my windows drive just fine by selecting it from the boot menu.
    I feel like since i had to install windows by bypassing bootcamp assistant (directly booting from usb and installing to a clean separate internal SSD) that I might have screwd up the association between the startup disk selector and the target disk...i'm so exhausted of dealing with windows and my mac with RAID drives...so many problems, so complicated.
    Any help with the graphics card stuff would be much appreciated.

    Dear Paul S, John B here. I have a 2008 Mac Pro, single Quad Core-not state of the art  at all. I bought my sapphire radeon HD 7950 to replace an nVidia 8800, so that I could play Bio shock infinite on Steam. Yes, I installed it myself, it's a piece of cake.  I had no issues after installing. Some have...might have been that gpu switch on the side was defective, but not for me. to the right for mac, left for PC, as far as I know.  As for the hype, can't say.  It does the job quite well.  I now have a Mac that can use Display Port and HDMI for output rather than DVI (very handy for buying monitors- you can use a small LCD tv as one). I guess it was worth the price, to me it was, anyway.  I learned my lesson on older graphics cards: when they go, try to not have a fit, and see if you can replace them with something a bit better, and don't take your Mac in to your local Fruit PC store, cuz they don't have a clue about such things, and the Fruit PC company's policy is to replace like with like-period.  You can ask them to, but they won't put a better video card into your Mac Pro, even though you are willing to pay the difference to upgrade. Also, you are on their turf, so you will be paying their prices for that old video card. $360 for an 8800GT mac version? I don't think so, at least not again ! Freak out with Bootcamp? I don't think so.  I've never used it with bootcamp, but I did mention the switch, so I think you're covered there.  Maybe you'd have to download and install Windows drivers for that card but that's be about it.  You might try MacVidCards.com
    but that's a crapshoot, as PC cards flashed to work with Mac may be.
    just my 2 cents

  • How to update graphics card drivers for late 2008 macbook pro with Nvidia 9600m GT?

    Can anybody help me update the drivers for my 9600m GT graphics card for my Late 2008 Macbook pro? I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with a Windows 7 partition. I have tried finding support on Nvidia's website, but at least for the 9600m GT, it isn't supported for my operating system. Would I have to update it from my Windows side? And if so, would the update apply to my OS X side as well? I have a little computer knowledge, but nothing indepth.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In OS X, Apple provides the GPU drivers and you cannot update them from NVIDIA. They are updated with each OS X update, so you are running the most recent drivers for your OS X version. OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks have got more recent GPU drivers, but it's not worth upgrading unless you need newer drivers for an app (I highly doubt this).
    However, you can update the GPU drivers in Windows, and you should do it to get the best performance. You can download them from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Note that drivers are only applied in the operating system you are installing them, so they will not be installed in OS X

  • Can't update AMD graphics card drivers in Macbook Pro 15" 2011

    I've been having this problem for a while now, and from what I understand, it's a fairly common issue with bootcamp but I have not been able to find a solution to the problem nonetheless. I am using a 15" Macbook Pro from 2011 (purchased in early September, not sure if that was before the 'late 2011' model or not), running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 through bootcamp v4.0. The graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6750m last updated on 6/13/2011 to version 8.812.0.0.
    I have tried many times to update the card using the AMD catalyst control center supposedly made for windows 7 in bootcamp, but no matter what compatibility options I choose, the installer either tells me there is no graphics adapter (auto detect) or just crashes immediately after starting installation of the catalyst control center. I've also attempted reinstalling bootcamp several times, each with a fresh download of the windows support software, though I have not completely uninstalled Windows 7. I'm not sure if the problem is with the bootcamp drivers themselves or with AMD's software or a combination of both, and a solution would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, I know this is completely the wrong spot for this, but while I'm here, does anybody else have issues running EA's Origin download service? I just installed it in bootcamp a few days ago to play Mass Effect 3, and ever since then my computer gets display lag (e.g. in windows media player the video freezes for a few seconds at a time, while the sound continues playing) sometimes, especially during and after attempting to play Mass Effect 3. I already checked to make sure that both Origin and Mass Effect 3 are fully up to date, so I thought it might have something to do with the graphics card.
    Anyway, thanks for the assistance, and I apologize for asking a question that has probably been answered several times. I searched through several posts, I couldn't find any answers to my problem.

    Despite all of these helpful posts from the community, I'm still coming up short. I'm attempting to update my ATI Radeon HD 6770m driver on windows 7 64-bit. I've followed this guide:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3866652?start=0&tstart=0
    (third post down) - I also use Drive Sweeper after using CCCleaner and device manager uninstall.
    Every time I attempt to install the driver after rebooting, I receive an error message stating "Driver install: the INF file was not found" with a log stating that the driver failed to install upon completion.
    When I attempt to use control panel>Device Manager>Display Adapters>Update Driver Software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software and then choose the appropriate file path (including subfolders) or by choosing from a list of device drivers and selecting one of the two inf files in c:/amd/support/12-2_mobility../packages/drivers/display/w76a_inf, I receive the following error message:
    "Windows Encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
    AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series
    There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    I'm hitting nothing but dead ends here. I just want to play SWTOR with an updated driver!
    Please provide a detailed, step-by-step solution (if you have one). It is not safe to assume that I have any experience regarding graphics drivers or running windows in bootcamp. Thanks in advance.
