MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU with GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Umm...
My PC keep freezing when I play a 3D Game like Warcraft III, GTA 3 or Neverwinter Nigths.
Sometimes it's freezing after 2 mins, sometimes I can play like a half hour.
When it's freezed, Windows don't work either so the whole comp is messed up then .. and I have to reboot him.
I post this here cuz I heard that those new GeForce Cards have some compatibilty probs with mainboards ...
maybe ... someone asked this already ... or just knows a soulution ...
Hi-Tak

MSI 645 Ultra-C vs MSI 845 Ultra-C

Can somebody tell me widh mobo from this 2 is better.
For the moment I use MSI 845 Ultra-C but I'm not satisfy by it.
Its recommend to change it with MSI 645 Ultra-C (MSI 645 Ultra) or not?
Thanks.

I don't think that MSI 845 Ultra-C its a good mobo, I had problems with it from the 1st day I have it. I change it once. I don't know what to say I don't see some performances from my P4, and I think the mobo its the problem here. Or maybe its because I have just an GForce 2 MX400 and 128 DDRAM?
Now I just install WIN .NET Webserver Edition and it seems to work fine, but with WIN XP Pro its not working at all. Maybe you give some advices because I really don't know what to do.
Another ideea that cross my mind it was to chenge it with MSI K7N420 PRO + Athlon XP 1600+. Is this a better ideea?
Thanks

MSI FX5700 128TD vs. MSI FX5600 Ultra VTD128 vs. MSI G4Ti4600 VTD

can someone test these 3 cards and make a compare result?
comparing performance, image quality
of course PC components must be the same at each tested card
VGA cards: MSI FX5700 128TD
MSI FX5600 Ultra VTD128
MSI G4Ti4600 VTD
THX
TT*6

Thanks a lot friends.
Every thread i created was about FX5700 because i own this card and thought that i made a wrong decision with that card -MSI FX5700 TD128- now i know it was a good buy.
Only 1 question left: why is the fill rate of FX5700 so poor and at G4TiSeries so high-2x much, does it have affect in compare to G4TiSeries?

MSI's Geforce FX 5200-T128 = FX 5200 Ultra !!

I recently bought an MSI Geforce FX 5200-T128 and decided to OC it and replace the stock heatsink to help the OC'ing a bit. It comes with a heatsink only and no fan. I got this cooler from an old Macintosh machine that could fit perfectly into the GPU. When I open the stock heatsink on the card I was surprised that on the GPU there is "FX 5200 Ultra" written on it. Is it really the ultra version ? If it is, then how come the Detonator (Both MSI's and Nvidia's) recognise it as a Geforce 5200 series only...not ultra ?? I read in the net that sometimes you can make an ordinary card and turn into the ultra ver. by changing the BIOS ! Can someone explain to me about this ? Am I really having the Ultra ver. GPU ??? Can I alter the BIOS so it works like an ultra ver ?? THX ppl......

hi,
i have the same card with you. o/c'd it to its limits [290GPU/464DDR] normally it had to reach 320GPU and 500DDR but the ram on card 5ns soo highest is 464Mhz[i am sorry]. you can o/c it to 320GPU-480DDR but at these speeds;
in 3dmark 2003 wings of furry test it passes some frames like slow cards and 2001SE it crushes on looping 3-4 tests...
when i relased that it is working but graphics are little choppy you can see...
290GPU&464DDR is the best stable solution i could able to find .. i o/c'd it with riva tuner and 3D turbo express .....both gives the same result...

Problem with MSI Geforce FX 5200 & Westinghouse LCM-22W2

I've tried a bunch of different drivers and the highest resolution I can get displayed on this monitor is 1440x900. it's native resolution is one step higher, 1680x1050. Anyone have any ideas as to why my card refuses to display anything higher than this, even tho the latest drivers i have and all MSI's information specifically states that it should be capable of doing so?
Thanks,
-John

here's my specs - if i'm missing anything important let me know.
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon XP 2100+ (overclocked, recognized as 2700+)
MSI Geforce FX 5200 VTD128
1 GB RAM
Win XP Home, SP2 completely up to date
The Nvidia drivers are version 6.14.10.9371 released on 10/22/06 - I had a newer version but they didn't fix any problems, at this point i'm honestly not sure why I went back to this version :P - I had the absolute latest version from Nvidia's site, which the release notes specifically stated supported the Non-traditional 1680x1050 resolution, and that the FX5200 was supported by these drivers. Still didn't work.
The GPU Bios is 4.34.20.23.08
Also, upon startup my system was kinda hanging and I would get a notice that SW20.exe had crashed. I disabled sw20.exe and sw24.exe from starting up when the PC did and have no problems. It's not liek I miss them, cus I never used the overclocking functions of the graphics card anyway.
Originally XP was recognizing my monitor as a "Plug and play" monitor. The manual says this:
"VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the LCD monitor."
Right now the monitor is running with a custom inf file that PowerStrip (Which I downloaded from a link I found here) created for it. Westinghouse has no drivers or anything remotely helpful on their website.
Also, I'm using a Dual-link DVI cable, the monitor also has a VGA input.

Is MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 128 bit ?

hey guys,
please tell me is my Graphic card MSI Geforce FX 5200 T128 is 128 bit or not?

hey guys,
i wanted to ask if the basic FX 5200 is 64 bit then what will those VTD models of the FX 5200 do , it makes no sense either MSI FX 5200 is 64 bit Original and there are no 128 bits ok or it must be FX 5200 Ultra which i could not get cause it was not available only i could find was FX 5700 Ultra which was too expensive or the 5600 which was also expensive this was perfect but each model i found was 65 bit ??? why ?

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU & GeForce 3 TI200

A little prob:
When I run my GF3 in AGP mode, all my games hang after playing 1 min. Then when I change the "Via Tech CPU to AGP-controller" to "PCI standard PCI to PCI brigde" thereby running my GF3 in PCI-mode everything runs fine. Then I went into "dxdiag" and saw that "Acceleration of AGP-struktur" was not availble. So I was thinking, am I looseing enything by running the GF3 in PCI-mode and is it the MSI or the GF3 that is causeing this problem.
I have tried all the VIA 4in1 drivers and they did not help.
My specs:
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon XP 1900+
Palite Daytona Geforce 3 TI200
Windows XP pro

i have the kt3 ultra with a geforce 3 ti200 and it runs flawless.. i use the det 30.30 drivers. one thing i noticed with geforce 3 cards is if i have my agp apperature set to anything but 128 games will freeze and get all kinds off lock ups. if i were you i would look around this forum for the bios setup guide for the kt3 ultra! and set your bios according to that guide
if you cant find it here goto http://www.amdmb.com and go to the msi forum there and the set up guide is there
hopefully that helps!!!!

Fade-off with MSI T-128 (nVidia geForce FX 5200) PCI card

Hi
I'm totally fade-off with nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (MSI -T128) graphics PCI card. I've tried all options found on different forums and also with latest driver for the card both from MSI and nVidia. But non of these are able to solve my problem.
Even though, I have installed the latest driver for the card form nVidia or MSI, my system gives BSOD (infinite loop) on XP and system hang on Ubuntu/Linux. Request you to please help me out for this problem. Its dam sure something wrong in the card driver or BIOS settings as its occurring with any OS.
This is my last ray of hope, with a expection that some MSI people will help me out, else I'll have to throw the f**king card to bin. Sorry being unprofessional, but it seems that I have wasted my money banking on the brand MSI/nVidia.
PC Configuration:
1. Asus K8N motherboard (nVidia chipset, NO on-board graphics)
2. MSI T-128 (nVidia GeForce FX 5200) PCI graphics card
3. Windows XP SP3/ Ubuntu 9.04
4. 512 MB DDR1 RAM
5. 320GB, 7200 rpm Seagate ATA HDD
6. AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Again request the nVidia people plz plz plz .. help me.
Note that, When I'm booting with safe mode in XP, the PC DOES NOT hangs.
Thank you in advance.

Its followed by "Sorry being unprofessional". But when my hard earning money draining, its obvious. Anyway, Do you have answer to my request ? Or only guiding me for proper language ? If you have ans plz give me too.

MSI GeForce FX 5200 bios config???

I just bought a msi geforcefx 5200 (TDR-128), and I'd like to know what is the best configuration I can put on my bios (MSI K7N2 DL)?
AGP clock? 66-120
AGP Voltage? 1.5-1.7
AGP fastwrite? Enable/disable
Video cache? Enable/disable
Graphic Aperture Size? 64-512
PCI...? 32-128 and so on...
I was runing on default (agp clock 66 volt 1.5 fastwrite enable video cache disable and grap apert 64 pci 32) and the games has some kind of lockups of miliseconds :(
I tryed to rase the graphic aperture size to 128, the pci to 128 and video cachable to enable but no fix, please should i change the agp clock and voltage.
Ps.: i also tryed to disable the fastwrite but no fix :P

The AGP clock should be left to its default setting, as well as the AGP voltage, except if you want to overclock your card´s memory, it could give you some help
AGP FastWrite should be enabled, it could deliver in a performance gain
SideBand Adressing will not be available if the card runs at AGP 8X (AGP 3.00 disables it) and as your mobo supports AGP 8X (nFORCE2) don´t enable it.
Video Cache gives no performace gain, except on DOS, it´s useless as well as System BIOS Cache.
AGP Aperture Size should be set at 128 MB, anything bigger is completely useless
And the PCI Latency Timer leave it in its default setting or in 64 clocks
Don´t touch the AGP speed or voltage because it will give you more problems than solutions. Try latest nVIDIA ForceWare drivers, latest nFORCE drivers and see if the problem remains.
Good Luck!

GeForce FX 5200 Ultra

I recently ungraded my mobo to a MSI 845GE Max. I also tried to install the PNY GeForce FX 5200 Ultra video card. I am running Windows 2000. When I try to install the drivers for the Video card, the system locks up on reboot and the login image is distorted. The PNY FAQs suggest upgrading the Intel chipset, which I have done. Still seems to be in conflict with the onboard vga controller. When I disable the onboard vga driver, the system locks needing a hard reboot. System runs great on the onboard graphics card, but I want to install a 3D card.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,

Hi gdiodati,
Try disabling your onboard VGA, then set your Init. Graphics Adapter Priority to AGP.
Set your AGP Aperture settings to 128MB or 256MB.
Set your AGP Capabilities to "Auto"
Make sure that its running on at least 4x(1.5v) or max 8x(0.8v).
Check if you've any other devices sharing IRQ with your VGA card.
All the Best... :D!!!

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU video lock-ups

Hello,
I have a 3 month old MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. I am running Windows XP Professional and I am having a periodic lock-up where the screen will show blinking colored blocks and the system will freeze. Sometimes just hitting reset will cure the problem. Other times, hitting reset will create two vertical stripes of colored blocks scrolling down the screen. I have used the board on two entirely separate systems (One with AMD Athlon 2000+, Gainward GeForce 4200, 512 MB Samsung 2700 DDR, Western Digital Expert HD (tried both IDE #1 and RAID controller) (Other System, Athlon 1800+, a different Gainward Geforce 4200, 256 Crucial 2700 DDR, an older Maxtor hard drive). In either system, every once in a while, the system will freeze as described above (it has happened in Netscape 7.0, Microsoft Word 2000, America's Army game).
I have played around with the bios settings, reformatted hard drives, tried various revisions of the nvidia display drivers, swapped out video cards, etc. Any ideas? Do I have a bad board? Do I need to flash the BIOS? If the board is bad, what do I need to do to return it?
Thanks,
Matt Gumaer

The second system has a 330 watt enermax power supply. With the new system I put together, I put virtually the same board (MSI KT3 Ultra 2 with bluetooth and RAID), everything is the same as my first system (except the KT3 Ultra-ARU) and the stability is fine. So, I'm reasonably confident its not the power supply.

KT3 Ultra ARU - MSI Ti4600 - Zalman Heatpipe

As it says in the title, KT3 Ultra ARU, MSI Geforce 4 4600ti card and a Zalman ZH80a passive VGA heatpipe heatsink. Will it fit ? anyone got the above setup and got it in ok ? I think the RAM slots are going to get in the way but Im not sure.... ?(

Aaaaagh, ignore this, I didnt think my previous one worked as I got a BSOD.

PSU Query for MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU running 3000xp

Hi There,
Before buying a new Motherboard I was just wondering if the problems I'm getting are related to the PSU which is about 5 years old. I've just upgraded my processor to a Athlon 3000 XP 333 FSB which goes into the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E v1.X) motherbaord, which I've upgraded the Bios to version 5.7, I've also upgraded my graphics card to the Leadtek Geforce FX5900XT which also plugs into the PSU. When setting my fsb to 166 my PC either won't boot or when I try to run say 3DMark it just freezes, but when I set my FSB to 133 it works fine. I was wondering if it is trying to draw too much power from the CPU.
I don't really know how to write the PSU details down correctly so I've just copied everything from the unit.
Power Man MN :- FSP 300 - 60 BT
AC Input - 115/230v~, 10/5A, 60/50 HZ
DC Output - +3.3V 14.0A(org), +5V - 30.0A(red), +12v - 11.0A (yel) + 5VSB
- 2.0A (purp), -5V - 0.3A (white), -12V - 0.8A(blue)
Fuse Rating 6.3A, 250V
Max Output Power 300W (+3.3V&+5V=150W Max)
Hope this makes sense,
Thanks in Advance,
Paul.
