MSI Lighning 7970 card 2560x1440 problem (with DELL U2711)

Hello. I have trouble with my display and 2xMSI 7970 Lighning graphic cards. Could someone help me?
Configuration:
Core i7 2600K running on gigabyte P8Z68-V motherboard with J.3603 BIOS
2 MSI Lighning 7970 cards without crossfire connector inserted (I don’t need crossfire for gaming – just multimonitor configuration for graphics).
The BIOSes of the cads are the same-from-the-box and was identified like MSI.HD7970.3072.120411.rom in the GPU-Z database.
The numbers in the GPU-Z’s “BIOS Version” is 015.013.000.010.000000 (113-AD40900-X01)
The BIOS numbers in the MSI Live Update is TV278MS.102
And the serial numbers from the stickers of the card’s boxes are:
602-V278-02SB1204058976 and 602-V278-02SB1205129844
All stuff running on Win8.1x64 system.
I have 3 displays: 2 of them are Samsung 245T running 1920x1200 and the last one (the new one) is DELL U2711 (witch is capable for running 2560x1440 resolution).
Now, THE PROBLEM.
When I running 2-displays configuration (2xSamsung 245T connected via DVI) there are no any problems at all: all works fine. The problem with the 3d display and it’s 2560x1440 resolution. I tried different cables and both cards, but display couldn’t run correctly.
1) It is running fine but ONLY 1920x1080 resolution when connected via DVI. There is no 2560x1440 settings at all in windows system then. I tried both cards and both DVI-ports, also I tried different DVI cables. No matter. It’s only 1920x1080. The drivers for the display panel was installed from the dell’s official site and the’re latest (as I could see..)
2) When I tried to connect the display via DisplayPort cable to my cards (no matter which of them or which of 4 display port’s connector on each card) it COULD RUN AT ALL. Usually the display showing up correctly with the right resolution (2560) but the screen is blank (black). After some time monitor goes to the suspend mode.
From time to time display could shows some desktop with terrible quality (I get the photos of it) for 2-3 second and then it’s blank again.
Also when connected I get the error “DisplayPort Lower setting applied” from time to time.
3) I have tried some DVI-Displayport adapters (witch was in the box with the MSI cards) and the result is the same as in 1) - only 1920x1080 resolution...
The display is fine and it works perfectly on another system (without MSI cards). What’s the problem? Should I upgrade BIOS or something to work in 2560x1440? Thank you.

the poor quality of the screen (when it shows up for 1-3 seconds with DisplayPort connection)

Problem with Dell U2711

Hi there
I just took delivery of a new Dell 27" monitor and there's something wrong with the image at 2560x1440
I have it connected to my ATI Radeon HD 3870 Graphics card via a DVI cable
The image is all pixelated
Can anyone help?
Dell support is useless and keep asking me for a number that is not on the monitor
Thanks
Rob

Robert. I am in the process of procuring my first iMac. Stron preference toward the 27" iMac as it has teh dual Thunderboly ports. I already have 2 Dell U2711 monitors which I will connect to my iMac to give me a 3 screen setup, but the show stopper is the resolution being limited on the Dell U2711's. Did you manage to solve the resolution limitation with the screens being limited to 1920x1080 or did you manage to get them to run at 2560x1440?

Card Reader problem with MSI K8T Neo

Hi,
I have the K8T Neo motherboard, and every once and a while my Atech Flash 9 in 1 card reader (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-176-003&depa=0) doesn't power up, thus I can't use it.
What's odd is that all my other USB devices work flawlessly.
The only way I'm able to use the card reader again is to power down my computer and then flip the power switch on the psu, then turn it back on, or unplug the reader from the usb header on the motherboard and plug it back in.
I've noticed other people have had similar issues...
Any ideas what causes this, or any ideas on how to fix this?

Yes, I had the same hanging problems as well with older BIOS versions then 1.7.
But that isn't the problem I'm talking about, the computer always starts up, it's just a matter if the usb reader will work or not.
Maybe MSI has yet to make a BIOS that is compatible with all card readers.

W500 card reader problems- with a wrinkle??

My card reader won't recognize SDHC cards. I have a W500 (4061-BL2) running Win XP Pro, Service Pack 3. I installed the latest drivers for the 4-in-1 reader (Ricoh Multi Card Reader driver 3.64.02 which does show up in the "Add/Remove Programs" listing). Based on reading this forum, I considered KB934428, but, when I tried to install the hotfix, I learned it is not needed with SP3. (I didn't try to install KB923293 which is the other hotfix frequently mentioned for this problem as it appears to be older than the ...428 hotfix??)
Everything appears to be normal in Device Manager.
When I try to insert a Kingston 8GB SDHC card (that I know has pictures on it as I can see the pictures on my Canon camera), my system does recognize the card (under "My Computer", it shows up as "SD/MMC (E", but, when I try to access the card, it only says "The disk is not formatted.. Do you want to format now?".
I know there are 20 other forum posts on this problem, but, mine appears to be somewhat unique with XP SP3.
Like everyone else with this problem, I can read the card just fine with a USB card reader.
Any help will be deeply appreciated! Love the W500 except for this nagging problem as I am really anxious to use the card reader.

I just fixed a co-workers Ricoh 4-in-1 reader by following these instructions
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70881
It says it's for R61 but worked on W500.
Running Windows XP Pro SP2. I tried the Lenovo Drivers but they didn't work.

Graphics card drivers problem with star craft 2!!!! ah!

I have a problem with my new laptop (a Compaq Presario CQ62z-200cto) that I bought for star craft II and I was hoping you guys could help.
This is my computer’s stats. They surpass the recommended settings for Star craft 2 by a little bit.
2.8 ghz phenom dual core
2gs ddr3 ram
Ati radeon mobility hd 545v (yes, this card is better than the recommend 3870)
When I first turned on star craft it said:
“Your video card drivers are out of date” and “Starcraft II does not recognize your graphics card”
In addition to this Starcraft II runs relatively poorly. I’m not sure how well it’s supposed to run, but it’s a laggy even on low-ish settings. I tried to get new drivers from ATI, but they said that if you have a laptop you should get drivers from the manufacturers, not ATI (because HP makes the specific drivers for the computer). ATI supposedly only has “generic” drivers for laptops or something like that. So ,I have to get the latest drivers from hp, which I already have (they were made in April…shesh).
So, I’m stumped it seems like the drivers are holding me back even though I have the hardware for the job, but the drivers I need don’t exist.
Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks,
Tim

The "graphics card" on an iMac is built into the motherboard. Therefore the only updates would be through an Apple firmware update.

Java card plugin problem with NetBeans 6.8

Hi, I've got a problem with the netBeans 6.8 i couldn't add a java card plugin at all. I try to run it with the netBeans 6.7.1 and it installs the plugin and adds the java card platform, but when i try to build a sample project I've got an error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ${javacard/packagerClass}
Any ideas
Netbeans versions: 6.7.1, 6.8
JavaCard version: JCDK3.0.2_ConnectedEdition
OS: WindowsXP

first idea of all: isn't there a netbeans support forum/mailing list/plugin page ?

MSI GF 6600 AGP AND problem with clocks

Hello,
I've got a big problem with saving clocks in my graphic card. Neither RivaTuner nor coolbits don't work - after rebooting computer the clocks are reseted and forced to default values.
I'm using fw 71.89 (previously 71.84).

Winter,
Run Driver Cleaner and get rid of all the old Drivers. Then install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers. From there try to set the clock speeds you want. (Make sure you set it to apply at startup.)
Remember that there are two speeds, one for 2D and another for 3D.
Take Care,
Richard

USB card reader problem with T430 laptop (Win 8)

I have a Thinkpad T430, running Windows 8 with 16G memory.
I have recently encountered problems with a USB card reader. I thought the reader was faulty so I bought a new one, but that one fails as well. It makes no difference which socket it is in.
After being plugged in for a few seconds, the 'drives' the reader sets up start to flash in the 'Computer' window - it seems they are continually being disconnected and reconnected.
Disabling USB 3.0 in the BIOS makes no difference. One card reader is USB 2 and the other is USB 3
Changing the power settings so the USB selective suspend is disabled makes no difference.
I am pretty sure that it was OK a month ago when I last used a card reader (the machine is about 2 months old).
What is going on?
Any ideas?
Thanls,
Michael

Ok Mr. Micheal,
One thing you can attempt to do is download the SmartCard Reader Driver for Windows 8 (64-bit) - ThinkPad on the Lenovo website. The path you need to take is listed below.
1. Go to the Lenovo website (www.lenovo.com)
2. Select the support link at the top of the page
3. Your going to see for windows listed select the type of support you need, so select drivers and software
4. Its going to ask for your machine information so enter in your machine type or your product ID
5. Scroll down to camera and card reader and open the link
6. Download SmartCard Reader Driver for Windows 8 (64-bit) - ThinkPad
7. Follow the set up wizard and one the driver is installed reboot your machine
Please respond once this action is performed and let me know if this happens to resolve your issue. Thank you

MSI E350IA-E45 boot/post problem with some USB devices

Hi,
My new mainboard E350IA-E45 with BIOS ver. 1.4 has problems "BIOS problems" booting/posting when I connect a USB IR Receiver from CyberLink and also with a USB wireless adapter model USB-N10 from ASUS, using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports.
It does the problem with one of the two devices or the two at the same time connected.
With the Logo disabled, I only see a number (not always the same) at the bottom right of the screen when I boot/reboot, and I cannot enter BIOS. If I wait a while, about half a minute Windows starts and other times not ( I'm not sure at this moment).
When this happens (not booting/posting) if I remove (while powered) these devices the motherboard posts immediately and normal operation is back !
When none is connected, it works without problems.
Does anyone have a solution or explanation for this behavior ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

How can you call this explanation "working fine" ??
Your powersupply is just 75W, anything can happen with so little power.
As said before, test the board with a 300W powersupply and see if it solves it.
I bought this Mini-ITX case to have a silent HTPC, its height is 62mm, so where do I put a power supply of 300W using this case if the problem realy "is" the power adapter ! Sorry to say that, but for me it's not the power adapter.
When I BOOT it, my power meter indicates the maximum value and it's between 25-30 watts, and you say that a 75W external adapter is not enough and what about netbooks or nettops with Zacate inside with similar adapters !
Can you explain to me why or how it fails to POST in few seconds (or no POST at all) with one of these devices that has a tiny power consumption. And why it POST with a external USB HDD ! It makes no sense to me.
Anyway if there is no solution to this problem (maybe BIOS update), I don't mind very much to wait about 20 seconds until it POST with the two devices connected, because after that I have no other problems.
Best regards.

How to Dual Display with Dell U2711

Hi,
I am looking to connect my iMac (late 2013) to a Dell U2711 in a dual display configuration. I'd like to be able to use all 2560x1440 pixels of the Dell.
the Dell has DVI-D (dual channel), Displayport (not mini displayport), HDMI and VGA.
which port will give me the cleanest picture and best performance and what cable do I need to buy ? (obviously thunderbolt to something...)
thanks !

I'm not entirely sure what I should be partitioning the C: into, I've done partitions before, just not for Arch and then I'm not sure whether to use GRUB or syslinux, or if I even need those. Or if I need to use GPT or MBR?
Your disk is already partitionned so you don’t have to choose between GPT or MBR, the choice is already made.
You don’t partition “C:”, that is the name of a Windows partition. You partition a drive.
Grub or syslinux, use whatever the beginners guide tells you to. Personally I think syslinux is simpler which is why I’m using it (but I’m not dual-booting, if that matters).
You’re not saying what your problem is with partitionning, so it’s hard to help.
Thanks for getting back to me, I'm not sure if I just create one large partition for Archlinux or if I have to create multiple? Where I'm also confused is with the Creating Filesystems part of the guide. I don't understand how I'd do this in Windows, or what /dev/sda1 is referring to.
As for the bootloader part, the Beginner's Guide gives you a choice between syslinux and grub, what I'm not sure about is which to use considering I'm dualbooting. How it will affect my windows bootloader, do I disregard that and use GRUB now? I'm unclear on how that works.
I'm also aware I need to disable Secure Boot, I just searched my BIOS options and couldn't find anything remotely relating to that, so I'm assuming it's not an issue since this computer was originally on Windows 7 anyway?
Thanks again, Expi.

Don't have 2560x1440 resolution on Dell U2711

Hi,
I've recived the mac today and I have a monitor DELL U2711. The monitor is connected with an HDMI cable.
This is what I can set now.
Someone know what I can do to get 2560x1440 resolution?
Thanks
Ivan

you could try to option+click on "scale" to find out more options.
but i fear that won't solve the problem, at least this is my experience as I am in the same situation
It seems to be a problem of Mavericks. (Lion worked perfectly with the maximum resolution
Both my MBP and MacMini can't get 2560x1440 on the U2711. And yes @turbostar - with mini DP to DP.
All those work-arounds (reset PRAM, overwrite the overrides ...) don't help. So very, very VERY frustrating.
So if any ouf you finds the solution. please post here.

Mac Mini from 2010 with Dell U2711 resolution question

I just hooked up a Dell U2711 monitor with the DVI cable. I should be able to get a resolution of 2560x1440 with that, but the highest res I have in my System Prefs is 1920x1080. Does anyone know what I need to do to get the max resolution?

*This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on a DVI or VGA display using the Mini-DVI port and 2560x1600 on a dual-link DVI display using the Mini DisplayPort (with an optional Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter).
above from:

Thus you need the dual link adopter.

I have a problem with Dell 2407WFP

i just bought dell 24" lcd conecting with my macpro now with 7300GT.
the problem is... display doesnt match with sound.
the lcd is late about 1 frame
when i watch DVD,,,i edit movie stuff...i just play quicktime movie...whenever..
i can feel it.
so i edit sound track from quicktime movie 1 frame late in the final cut pro... it Does MATCH!
is it normal?
please help me!
oh! i called Dell korea, and asked about it...
but they just said that their product doesnt support Mac officially..-_-;;;;

I have the 2407 and the 2405 on the ATI card on the Mac Pro, and there is no delay. Maybe it's the graphics card? I also edit and game, and the monitors work great. Both 24" monitors and it's a dual monitor setup, so I don't know what your issue may be.
If you think it's the monitor, you should tell Dell and exchange it for a new one. Otherwise, it's the graphics card or something since my monitor works flawlessyly.

Problem with Dell 3007wfp

So I just got my new Dell 30" and the only problem is is that it won't go above 1280x800. If I try to do it, the image gets so distorted that I can't even switch it back to a viewable resolution. I end up having to hook my old monitor up to it to fix it. I'm running the 1900xt card on my Mac Pro. Am I missing something?

I just had a similar problem on hooking up a Dell 300&WFP to a Dual-core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card. Both Mac and monitor were right out of the box.
On initial connection of the Dell's DVI-dual link cable to the left-hand female DVI port (facing the back of the Mac), the maximum resolution I saw was 1200 x 800, and it was very disappointingly jaggy. Interposing the DVI adapter that came with the Mac did not help.
Interestingly, switching the Dell's DVI cable to the Mac's other DVI port (right-hand, closer to the USB ports, etc), after turning the monitor off but without restarting the Mac, just led to a black screen on the monitor.
Fortunately, however, if the power button on the Mac was then pressed for just a few seconds, but not long enough to restart the Mac (Dell now hooked to the right-had DVI port directly, i.e., without adapter), computer and monitor synched. I now had a wide range of resolution options (800 x 500 to 2560 x 1600), all appropriately sharp.
Hope this helps others.
