MSI K7N2G-ILSR onboard video initialization problems

Hi, today I replaced my wife's trusty Abit KT7 motherboard with a MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I used the onboard video since she doesn't play games. Everything seemed to be working fine until I went to boot it up. The computer started up as usual, but the monitor did not intialize like it should. The message on the monitor said that " the monitor was working correctly and to check the cord or the computer." I rechecked all of the connections and everything seemed to be installed correctly. I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the onboard video, so I decided to install the Radeon 9000 that was in the old system. To my suprise I received the same message when I started the computer up the second time. I have built several systems and have never encountered a problem like this before. I read the thread about problems with the Radeon cards, but no one mentions anything about problems with the onboard video. I am using a Duron 750, Antec 330 watt PSU and 512 megs of Kingston Value Ram. I know that several posters have recommended that nforce 2 users need a more pwerful PSU and better ram, but I have a hard time beleiving that those things would cause the video not to intilaize. I would appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions because I need to make a desision about hwat to do with this board. Thx.

Well I appreciate the replys. I formated the harddrive before I installed the motherboard because I was worried that the via drivers would cause problems when I booted it up and installed Win XP. Bonz, you are right, I am just guessing that everything is OK since I can hear the system start up, but I can't see anything since the video never intializes. I rechecked all of the connections and even took the motherboard out and reinstalled the cpu, memory and motherboard and the same thing happened. I started thinking something was wrong with the monitor so I unplugged the monitor from my system, which I know works, and it did the same thing. I just wish I could get the video to intialize so I could see to get into the bios to look around. I will check the jumpers on the board and continue to mess around with it. I would appreciate any feedback I can get. Thx again.

Video resolution question on retina

I am sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find an answer.
I am considering getting an iPod Touch 4. I realize the retina display will make almost everything look great, but I also want to watch movies or tv shows during lunch breaks. My question is this...if I want to encode my own DVDs (I do not have Blu-ray currently) how will they look on the retina display?
It seems to me based on the specs that I would have to encode at 640x480 since DVD resolution is not "high resolution". Doesn't that essentially mean that on the 960x640 retina screen that the image will look slightly blurred or does it just get black bars around all sides of the video?

They will look youtube videos, they aren't awesome as High Definition, but they aren't that bad.
Hope it helps!

HD vs. 4K Video resolution questions

I was taking some still photos with my iPhone at 3264 x 2448 for a PP project and it had me thinking. HD video is only 1920 x 1080, which is much less resolution than a basic still shot from an iPhone.
1. Why is 1920 x 1080 HD resolution the high quality standard and not 4k video camera resolution? Is this currently a limitation of display devices and price, or is there some other reason?
2. Can I make a 4k still image project in PP based on a resolution of something like 4096 × 2048 and than just downconvert when I'm done? Are there any issues with working with lots of stills of that size in the program?
Thanks.

Yes. Infrastructure was dragged up to 1920x1080 over two generations. It'll take another generation to pull it up to 4k. there are already 4k displays and cameras so it'll happen faster than last time.
4K capture, processing and display is around us. The distribution is the weak link at the moment
Having said that, just as TV shows destined for SD broadcast were shot on 35mm film (which has far higher resolution than Standard Definition (720x480) ), 4K cameras are being used as the primary shooting camera for TV shows that are broadcast in HD (eg Arri Alexia is very popular for TV dramas - eg Burn Notice).
Display devices - yes that's an issue
Price - yes, 4k cameras and workflow is still very high $$$
other reason - yes, it takes time for the public to adopt the new technology. The ability to broadcast it is the biggest issue right now.

Yup, edit in one of the RED formats or make a custom sequence using the industry standard 4K resolutions.
Alternately if you know you're using only the iPhone camera photos (not video) make a sequence that matches that resolution.
- For example I made a 4K timelapse using DSLR photos then down converted the 4K sequence to 1080p. (http://youtu.be/hK53CYs8pDY)

Video resolution question

Do the tv shows or movies that are available on iTunes have the resolution to take advantage of Touch's higher resolution (320 x 480)? Or are they set up for Classic's 240 x 320 resolution?

The max SCREEN resolution is 480X320H and the max screen resolution the IPT can run is 640X480. If you're planning to see your videos only through the IPT screen don't go over 480X320. Now, if you're planning to watch it on SD TVs you can encode the videos at 640X480 for a better resolution on TV. That's all.

Can't seem to disable onboard video on MSI motherboard 661FM3-L

I have the following motherboard: MSI 661FM3-L. I'm running a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with 1gb Ram on it. The motherboard works fine when I use the onboard video. I've now installed an ATI PowerColor 256 AGP 8x graphics card but the motherboard doesn't seem to use it. I plug the monitor into the graphics card and I can see the boot screen and go to bios but when windows begins to load the screen is all scrambled and then the monitor goes blank. I've changed in bios the first video setting (i'm not currently infront of the computer but its something along those lines) from PCI to AGP but I've noticed that when the systems first boots, on the first screen on the bottom line it shows the details of the onboard video card - SIS 651. It does not display the first splash screen of the ATI video card and so I'm guessing the onboard video is not properly disabled. I've checked the user manual and it does not state if there are any jumpers I need to change on the motherboard or if I need to change anything in BIOS. Can anyone help.
Thanks

apologies for lack of detail:
System:
MSI 661FM3-L
Intel P4 3.0GHz
1gb KingMax DDR400 DIMM
Western Digital 80Gb HDD
BIOS - latest update from MSI Live Update
WinXP + SP2 + all latest Windows Updates
Problem:
System works fine using on-board video.
Install PowerColor ATI 9600 Pro 256MB DDR AGP 8X video card, plug monitor to video card, system boots fine but when it gets to windows loading screen, the screen is all jumbled and then eventually screen goes black and monitor receives no signal. Attempted to load in windows Safe Mode and same thing happens.
Checked BIOS settings. Can't find anything to disable onboard video other then the "first video" setting which I changed from PCI to AGP.
The first boot screen which displays Memory count and Primary and Slave drives, displays a message on the bottom of the screen saying "SiS651" which is the name of the onboard video. Also there is no first splash screen of the ATI video card which I'm pretty sure should be seen before the first boot screen.
Performed MSI LiveUpdate of BIOS in DOS mode and this didn't change anything.
Video Card works fine on another PC.
Motherboard manual does not specify to change any jumpers or BIOS settings.

Onboard video on msi 6378 version 3

Basically i have this motherboard and the onboard video is obviously not capable of playing any game made in the last 2 years! A while back i had to buy a pci geforce vid card to try and beast the pc up a bit. I know your not supposed to be able to disable the onboard video on this mobo but after lots of messing around i somehow managed to get the pci card working and just disabled the onboard in windows control panel.
That was months ago now and just the other day i took the card out again because there were some dodgy display defects. now im trying to put the card back in again but with no luck at all. the monitor gets no signal at all and i cant remember how i first managed it now. can anyone help at all?! any suggestions would be much appreciated!
cheers

tried resetting the cmos by removing the mobo battery for bout 30 secs but still no monitor signal from the pci vid card. any others suggestions?

K7N2 Delta Onboard Sound Disable Question

I have a K7N2 Delta motherboard with a MSI FX5600 256MB DDR video card. I am currently using the onboard audio. Ever since I first built this computer I have been having nearly every game I play on it lock up and freeze. I am thinking that it is a sound issue that is causing this problem, so I want to install a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live. I have several questions that I hope someone can answer as I have exhausted all avenues and still don't have any answers. Here are my questions:
1. How do I disable the onboard sound? ie Which jumper is it and what are the
jumper settings?
2. Which PCI slot is recommended for installing the sound card so that I won't
any IRQ conflicts?
3. Is this actually an audio problem or is there something else wrong with this
motherboard or video card?
This is becoming very frustrating because when the computer locks up all I can do is just reset without shutting down. I'm becoming more and more worried that if this continues unabated I'm going to crash the hard drive and have to replace it only to have the problem persist. I hope someone can give me specific answers to my questions. Thank you in advance for your help.

First. Is it K7N2 Delta-L or Delta-ILSR (the one with an actual Soundstorm chip on it)? If you have the actual Soundstorm chip, use it! It will sound much better than an SBLive. Assuming you have the normal K7N2 Delta-L like I have:
1. To disable the onboard sound, first uninstall the drivers for it, then you need to go into the BIOS by holding the Delete key while you boot up. Then find the section "Integrated Peripherals" and in that section "Onboard Devices". Press Enter and find AC97 Audio and disable it. There are no jumpers.
2. PCI slots 1, 2 and 3 are usually not shared with other stuff like you AGP or USB ports. PCI Slot 3 is the ideal choice. 1 is usually covered by your video card fan anyway. For the SBLive, on Windows XP/2000, get the newest drivers from Creative Labs. The file is named "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" and it's file size is 23.3 MB (24,451,404 bytes). They have fixed the "nforce2 + gameport incompatibility".
3. The problem may be audio related...or not. Which drivers are/were you using for your onboard audio? nvidia or Realtek? Actual Soundstorm chip or crappy software codec? It could also be video card related. Fastwrites? 8x or 4x AGP?

DirectX problems - Onboard video problems? K9VGM-V

I am having problems with loading the new Nero suite (7.xx) version. It keeps coming back with a DirectX error. The guys at Ahead are telling the same thing.
My question is: Can I use DirectX 9.0c using the onboard video? I don't know what bios I have yet.
PCTools 2000 tells me I have DirectX9.0c installed and is okay.

Thanks for the ideas. I have already done the Directx diagnostics. That didn't change anything.
when I try to run the Directx diag I get this error. "The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library GDI32.dll"
In fact, that dll (GDI32.dll) doesn't even show up in the list of directx files in the diagnostics window.
I have tried to load a different version of the dll but I can't since it's in use by windows.
The guys from Nero have told me that it's my video drivers incompatibility with with my video drivers. They have a program that copies a whole heck of a lot of details from my computer and creates logs.
I have since done the online upgrade of my video drivers from MSI. It still doesn't work.
I am noticing that I could not load Diskeeper either. It comes up with some error, too.
This has been very frustrating.
Thanks in advance, Ray.
Reloading windows is such a pain.

Video drivers can't set up onboard video correctly ***Resolved (see append)***

I'm building a new system and trying to use the onboard video (VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP ). At boot-up, I get the message: "There is a problem with your display settings. The adapter type is incorrect, or the current settings do not work with your hardware" and it takes me to Display Properties where the resolution is 16 x 640 x 480. Sometimes I can change it, sometimes I can't. If it allows me to change it, it falters on the next boot-up and goes into "safe mode" where it doesn't allow me to change the settings. On the next "normal" boot, I get the same message and the adapter goes back to 16 x 640 x 480. Display Properties also shows 2 monitors even though I only have the 1 onboard video adapter, no other video is in the system. I've reinstalled the motherboard and VGA drivers that came with the mainboard. I've also tried the drivers from MSI's and VIA's websites. I've cleared NVRAM and used the defaults (both "optimal" and "performance" defaults) and several of my best guesses at CMOS configurations. I've tried formatting the drive and reloading Windows before installing the drivers. MSI's tech help said to load direct-x and their driver which I've already done. Any ideas?

Onboard video trouble

i'm really really confused about my old ms 6378 ver 3 m/board. i'm planning to buy a pci video card but i heard the onboard video can't be turned off. i also heard that msi boards are designed to automatically turn off the onboard video.. but is it really possible to use it on my board?? if it's possible, what's the limit of video ram it can support and how do i change those bios settings?? plzz help...
my pc specs:
ms-6378 v3
duron 1.1gHz
128 ram
350w psu
win2k pro

Some info from my previous post:
The problem you are experiencing could trace back to a video card design defect with version three of the board in combination with Windows XP and all of the drivers to date. The only solution is to send back the board to MSI and request a different model. The model MS-6738-010 has an AGP slot with similar specs. I just sent back the same board experiencing the same problems. It is being widely reported on the web also. Microsoft support has already investigated numerous crash reports from many people with the same problem. It all comes down to a video card problem in combination with the drivers for the board.
MSI currently has no fix for the problem on this board. Your only choice is to send it back and request another board.

MS-6378 Onboard Video and Sound

Hi.I notice that the FAQ for this board says that the onboard video cannot be disabled,does that mean that it is impossible to use a pci graphics card on it?If it is possible, how would i go about it?
I am also having the problem with sound corruption or slow down, particularly when scrolling whilst playing a cd or whatever.I am not comfortable with messing with IRQs since i know nothing about them, so can anyone tell me how to fix the problem in simpler terms.

K8NGM2-FID onboard video won't go to DVI in XP

System is:
K8NGM2-FID
BIOS 3.4
Onboard video using 128 MB memory off motherboard
Athlon 64 x2 3800+
2 GB (2 x 1GB) RAM Patriot PDC2G3200LLK 2-3-2-5
Case Antec Sonata II w/PSU Antec Smartpower 2.0 450W dual 12V (15A/17A)
HDD Seagate ST316012A Barracuda 7200.9 160 GB
OS WinXP SP2 auto updated
This system has run 24/7 for about 5 months using onboard video driving a Samsung SyncMaster 940t thru the onboard DVI port.
I am using the DVI (digital) onboard video output to drive my monitor. Recently I have experienced blank screens when waking up from monitor power down (20 minute w/o activity - no screensaver, just auto power down). When I connect a VGA (analog) cable from the onboard connector to the monitor's analog input the video is there but not present on DVI (digital) output of board. Otherwise the machine is still completely functional, just no DVI video output.
Rebooting, the video signal is present on BOTH connectors (DVI and VGA) up to the point when Windows loads the desktop (i.e., past Windows boot screens), then it switches to VGA ONLY.
If I power down and wait 3-4 hours, the DVI will continue to work after Windows loads the desktop, then will not return after the monitor powers down due to inactivity (20 minutes, set in properties - screen saver) OR a warm reboot OR a power cycle. Switching to the VGA (analog) output, the video is still there and system is running as before, but with analog video only, no DVI (digital). This occurs with two other monitors that have dual inputs (HP and Viewsonic).
Video drivers are from MSI and are the current Version 8205 - (8.2.0.5 on device manager screen) but BIOS is 3.4. BIOS update 3.4->3.5->3.6 notes do not mention any DVI issues so I am hesitant to flash to 3.6 (current version) as I do not think it will fix the problem.
Bringing up nVidia Nview desktop manager, it 'sees' the monitor but there is no mention of DVI or VGA interface or way to switch between them. If I hook up a TV to the Svideo output it 'sees' that as well as the monitor and I can switch between them.
Does anyone know of a way to explicitly direct signal to either of the onboard video connectors (DVI and VGA) connector on this board (K8NGM2-FID)?
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
ss

I fixed the system.
However, I still don't know the root cause of the original problem.
The missing piece of the fix was doing an uninstall of the video device drivers using the Control Panel 'Add or Remove Programs' function. Prior to that I was just updating things using either the package's native installers or the Device Manager Update Driver function.
After the uninstall I did a clean install of the MSI drivers off a CD and now have selectable digital and/or analog displays in Windows XP. Also, the nvidia drivers DO work, provided they are installed on a 'clean' suystem (thanks, Stu). Installing either driver set as an update results in unstable output - sometimes digital, sometimes analog.
Moral of the story: clean up toothpaste before squeezing the tube again.

How to disable onboard video on KM4M-L?

Does anybody know how to disable the onboard video card of the KM4M-L? I tried just plugging in another AGP card, but it doesn't work. I've gone through the bios, but can't find any reference to the onbard video.
Another question I have is which card is faster, the onboard video or my old Viper V770 with 32MBs of ram (I know, it's ancient!)
Thanks in advance for your help.

The viper but not by much. The o/b AGP is disabled automaticly but your problem is your board only supports AGPx4/1.5v cards.
Have a read through this thread (it's a P4 board but the same applies).

Dc5850 Quad monitors: Onboard Video + Video Card

I read here on the hp site that you can utilize both onboard video (Dual DVI) and use an additional Video Graphics Card (Dual DVI) to support a total of 4 monitors (2 from onboard dual DVI and 2 from dual dvi from the Graphics card) by enabling the SurroundView in F10 setup.
HP lists these ATI cards:
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro (256 MB DH) PCIe Graphics Card -AH050AA (total of four displays along with on-board)
ATI Radeon HD 2400XT (256 MB DH) PCIe Graphics Card -KD060AA (total of four displays along with on-board)
ATI Radeon HD 3650 (512 MB DH) PCIe x16 Graphics Card -KS505AA (total of four displays along with on-board)
Am I limited to these cards or can I use a more current "ATI" dual DVI PCI-e x16 card work with the onboard video?

Hi,
Be careful with the newer AMD graphics cards as they make not work in your PC. Know what the return policy is before you buy.
I typically like to suggest the older NVIDIA cards with some exceptions as they have been shown to provide better compatibility with older PCs. However, the older NVIDIA cards will only support two monitors. Some of the older AMD cards have backwards compatibility issues in some of the HP PCs.
