MSI Live Update and X1950Pro

Hi all.
I'm still having problems with getting my X1950Pro to run without crashing on 3D games, but mainly World of Warcraft. Have tried many different things, such as using different graphics drivers and upgrading my RAM, which I did yesterday. But I'm still stuck. ATM, I'm back to using my friends NVidia 6600GT  :( until I can find a feasible solution.
Somebody suggested checking my mobo drivers, so I ran Live Update last night and it came up with quite a few updates.
I'll list the ones that I think are relevant and I do realise that once the x1950 is back in, the updates for the VGA Drivers will change. I must apologise for the large amount of space that I'm about to use up, but I'm really getting frustrated at buying a card that I can't use for the purpose that I bought it for 
Here goes:
1xupdate Driver - nForce System Drivers current ver.2.78  online ver.3.75
13xupdateVGA - on all updates, current ver "unknown".
                       9xupdates are for different NVidia cards, so I shall ignore them until I put ATI card back in.
                       4xupdates are all "for all of MSI VGA cards"
2xupdate Utility - iSpeeder - not installed   online ver.1.2
                        infoview XP - not installed   online ver.1.750 - 1.Fixed VGA info error
                                                                                       2. Fixed AGP rate error on WinXP
I hope I've made this understandable. Can anyone see anything here that may sort out my troubles?
 

Thanks very much for your replies.
Max cpu temp under load I've seen is around 47C. When the x1950 manages to run WoW, I haven't seen it go higher than 70C. It generally stays in the low 60Cs.
Your link doesn't work for me Fredrik  :(
Aaron, I believe your kind link is to lead me to the ATI drivers. I have the latest ATI drivers installed (I've put the x1950 back in again). I was just wondering if there could be some conflict between my mobo and the x1950. and maybe a bios or chipset update.
I completely purged all the drivers with Drivercleaner. Didn't realise that the Drivercleaner I had been using was a very old version, so I bought the latest version. Hopefully this may be what my problem has been, because the next logical step I think, would be to format  or buy a more powerful PSU although my current PSU is supposed to be powerful enough.
I haven't tried WoW yet, because I'll be really sad if this hasn't worked.
I've just found that my graphic card is sharing the same IRQ as my soundcard. I've got a feeling that this is bad.......don't know why and I don't know how to change it if it is bad.

  • MSI KT8 Neo2 F board, upgraded cpu and used MSIs Live Update, now unstable BSODs

    I've had this mobo for almost 2 yrs now with an AMD 3500+ cpu and recently upgraded that to the FX-55. To do that, it required using MSIs Live Update and needed newer chipset drivers. It has the latest bios according to Live Update.
      It took a few attempts but finally booted w/o BSODs and has been running for over 1 week BUT is still not right. It's sometimes unstable and will crash (BSOD) just by starting up a browser. I had the bios settings at "optimized" and have tryed a few other changes but so far, I'm not gaining. Last night I couldn't keep it running more than a few minutes w/o it crashing.
      I have the MSI manual for my board and plan to spend some more time playing with it tonight but might anyone here have any ideas? It's not running hot (reads 50C) and was stable before with the 3500+. I've tryed "Fail Safe" bios settings too but nothing's better that way either.
       I'm hoping that someone here has a few ideas?
    Perhaps related?
      After initially running this with the new cpu, I'd see the "searching for MAC address" message and it'd hang there on boot. Someone told me that was because it was trying to do a network boot, selected in the boot sequence SO I've unselected that and that's when things got worse (oddly as it shouldn't IMO). One can select the 3+ boot devices (floppy, USB, CD-DVD rom, HDD) and it use to see the HDDs (2) before but now I'm not (only floppy and CD-DVD rom) and if I unselect the ethernet option (boot other devices), it fails to boot at all and says "insert floppy" as if I was installing Win98 way back when (running XP Pro btw). Something's definately not right with my bios selections.

    Let's go back to basics here for a bit. Start by posting your complete specs in your signature like we do. Make sure that your PSU values are also in there.
    Let's also look at some tests to help determine where the issue is. I would recommend Memtest86+, OCCT, Prime95, and 3DMarks as a great first series. Also get CPUz and lets see what it shows for CPU and Memory.
    If we can get an idea where things begin to fall apart then maybe we can determine if this is driver, hardware or some other issue without having to make the flash happen first. The reason why I am avoiding the flash at this point is that if things are mostly working maybe there is some other cause than Bios. We know that some FX's work with 3.x and some that don't. So I would like to try a bit of checking before we dive into a flash that could cause more issues than it solves if we get this wrong. As things are mostly working now we can assume at least for the moment that maybe the flash is not needed. If we don't see anything during testing that sheds some light then maybe we go ahead with the flash.
    That is if your willing to take some time to try and sort this out and maybe learn some stuff in the process. It is of course your call and we will respect whichever decission you make here.

  • How to update VGA bios in MSI live update.

    Hi,
    I downloaded MSI live update and i saw that there is a new bios for my card and i downloaded it.
    when i go to the folder with the DL-FILE i see that different things are downloaded included nvflash and the rom itself.
    Now is my question, can i install the new bios though the MSIsetup in that folder or do i have to do it a different way? I just want to be sure because i don't want to do anything wrong and probably brick my card.
    Thnx in advance.

    I just flashed the new vbios via MSI live update yesterday, but I have GTX 970, not sure if the procedure is the same or not between different cards.
    I just pressed the "download and install" arrow on the right side of vbios size, and live update only allowing me to choose vbios update at one time. After the download finished, it auto executed cmd under windows, and remind me to remove graphics card driver and continue (I did uninstall when I flashing my first card, but for the next one I just closed the nvidia experience), after press twice "Y" in the cmd, the flash began and then system just auto restarted. When my pc rebooted to windows again, I checked the vbios version, it appears the new one.
    maybe i should film a video if i got chance 

  • Problems with Cool N Quiet and MSI Live Update

    Hi
    I have had my K8T NEO FISR2 motherboard for a year and  generally I have been very happy with it. However, I have just installed Full Spectrum Warrior (about 3 weeks ago ) and Nortons Internet Suite 2005 and both installations resulted in the same error message when I boot up.
    The error message is that MSI Live Update isn't started up, and also that Cool N quite is not supported on my motherboard which is obviously rubbish.
    I have done a complete re-install of the Live Update and Cool N quite and that fixes it, and then it seems to come back a day later.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thankyou for your help

    I stopped using the MSI software completely.  Also got lots of troubles with it.  MSi Live Update for example stops the audio drivers working while checking their revision and so on, so my advice is to use it only if needed once in a while and not loading it together with Windows.

  • DualCoreCenter and MSI Live Update 3

    I downloaded the DualCoreCenter a while ago, failed to reboot the computer, and it didn't work when I tried to open it.  So I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it, this time rebooting, but it still won't open.  I double click on it (in the start up menu and on the desktop), it has the hourglass for a second, then it goes away.  It never loads.  MSI Live Update 3 gives me the error message "Cannot open file MSI" then opens my Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album.  Any help on either problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!
    Also, while reading the stickies, I saw a program called DriverCleaner, but the link to the free version was broken.  Is the free version no longer available?  If it is still available, where can I get it from?  I have many old drivers (mainly from my old ATI card, now using Nvidia) that I am afraid to get rid of myself.  Thanks!

  • Driver Update (Change-logs) MSI-Live Update 6 and Website

    I have kinda a request. I am a owner of the Z97 Gaming 9 AC motherboard.
     In MSI Live Update 6 I see some updates ready to be installed. The most annoying part is that it isn't notifying the change-logs. Normally I have a rule of (If it ain't broken, don't fix it). Yet some drivers that are update-able, are having my priority. Like a network-driver and audio-driver. And if the changes are adding more efficiency and better overall performance. Then it helps me to make up my mind to either update the drivers or not.
    Killer Network Driver (installed : 1.1.47.1058) and now there is a update available to version 1.1.49.1068
    C-Media Audio Drivers (installed : 1.00.0013) and now there is a update available to version 1.00.0014)

    Ask MSI about it as nobody here on the forum will know: >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

    I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
    The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
    I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
    Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

  • MSI Live Update Installation Causes Windows XP To CRASH!!

    I have a MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7253). Product specs are here: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9VGM-V
    I have attempted to obtain my updates for my drivers and utilities. MSI uses the Live Update to detect and suggest these for your system. However, I cannot get the software to install to my PC. I have tried to do in through the website AND by downloading it and running it off the hard drive. Each time it gets into the install process and during it - (Boom) - My PC Reboots. When Windows XP (Home Edition) boots up, it says "Windows has just recovered from a serious error." It goes through the reporting to Microsoft process and takes you to their website where it says "You have received a blue screen error. Unfortunatly we were unable to detect what caused this." Then goes on to suggest to restore your files or restore to an earlier state if your system has become unstable (blah blah). Now I really didn't ACTAULLY see a blue screen, the PC just rebooted. I am aware of the blue screen of death and all that. I understand the concept. But I don't know what could be wrong. My system is very basic with little upgrading from me. I have installed all the Windows Critical Updates, so I am now running Windows Service Pack 3. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I tell you that.
    NOTE: And the following might not have anything to do with my problem but I noticed on MSI's web site, located at this URL: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=260
    they say give a warning about MSI Live Update when installing it to my PC/Board. Look under the MSI Live Update Utility at the "Notes." It says:
    "For K9VGM-V (MS-7253) mainboard, please do not select the DMI optopn.
    Now I don't know what DMI means except maybe "Definition Multimedia Interface." And I don't get the chance to select any option during the process. If I do, the process hasn't made it that far before my PC crashes, and re-boots. Please, anybody got anything on this? Thank you.

    Thank you so much. I just want to say I really appreciate when people do take the time to post me in return. So I really mean it, Thank You.
    A quick question. You see, I have been upgrading my computer. I installed a Belkin USB USB Card (high speed 2.0) cause I needed more USB ports. Then I checked for compatable RAM and upgraded my RAM from 512MB to 2Gigs. Everything alright.
    Now, I have checked for processors that are compatable with my board K9VGM-V (MS-7253). And MSI's chart says mine is compatable with the AMD Athlon 2x 6000 (3.0Ghz) *IF* I use the 89 watt and not the 125 watt. Here is a good URL for the processor details I found:

    Now do you have any tips and I will probably have to flash to BIOS for sure after this upgrade won't I?

  • MSI Live Update will no longer work after recent update

    Recently, MSI Live Update upgraded itself and now errors when a scan is attempted.  I can start the application, and the scan appears to occur but does not complete.  The error is pretty generic: 
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\Live Update 6\Live Update.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    First thing I did was uninstall the tool, delete the directory, reboot and download and install Live Update 6.x from the MSI  site.  No change.  I figured there was possibly a problem with (one of the) C++ Runtime libraries and checked the system requirements on the MSI website, but all it says its needs is the .NET runtime library.  I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it but still received the same error.  Going with the error, I removed all of the C++ libraries (8, 10, and 12 I think), rebooted, and reinstalled them the checked MS for updates.   Sadly, this also didn't resolve it.
    Error in the application log didn't help:
    Faulting application name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62
    Faulting module name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62

    Searching the forum didn't yield much.  Suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestions - still in the same boat.

    what OS you are running? Windows 8.1 x64
    what MSI hardware you have?
    Board: Z87-G43 GAMING
    Bios: American Megatrends v1.9 (7/21/2014)
    Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    @jb0nez
    I fixed it though--went to Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, found Microsoft .net 4.5.1, hit Change/Uninstall, then clicked Repair. Rebooted after and it was fine.
    Windows 8.x has .NET 4.x preinstalled as a part of the OS.
    I used DISM.exe which identified a component store corruption (and repaired it).  Live Update still errors.
    Attempts to install from a .NET runtime returns an error of "A higher version is already installed".
    Version of .NET installed: 4.5.51641
    I did disable, reboot, and re-enable .NET as a feature but doing so does not revert it back to stock .NET.
    I also checked Windows Update after re-enabling it and there were no updates - so its not flushing the binaries if its disabled.
    At least I have a direction to start troubleshooting (.NET) - thanks for the tip!
    @jb0nez
    are you also use the same version? Live Update 6.0.012
    @TZBC
    Restore points are out - I let this slide too long.  If I go that route, I'll be fixing one app to break 10 others.
    If I'm going to reinstall the OS, I'll wait until Windows 10 (I'll do a complete wipe at that time).  Live Update  is a 'nice to have', but its not worth my  time to wipe the OS and rebuild the system.

  • Can't install MSI Live Update 3

    Hi NovJoe
    It is done automatic when using an old version of Live Update.
    However, Last night I figured it out 
    I disabled my security programs and opened Live Update with IE instead of Firefox 
    I knew it but I was very tired at the time.
    Thanx
    Kind regards Ulrik

  • Possible issue with MSI Live Update 5

    Hi guys, purchased a brand new MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G GPU from Scan.co.uk just before Christmas.
    Whilst playing around with GPUz i happened to notice that my card appears to have had at least one new BIOS for it (possibly two) since release. I downloaded MSI Live Update 5 from your site and ran the tool however it reports my GPU BIOS Version as unknown and doesn't find any BIOS updates for my card.
    Just wondering why this would be and if i can get a link to the latest BIOS and instructions on how to manually flash.
    My system specs are as follows
    AMD FX8350 @ 4.8Ghz 1.55v / Corsair H100 Cooler
    ASUS Sabertooth R990FX R2.0
    16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9 @ 1866Mhz CL9,9,9,24-2T
    MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G
    2 x Sandisk Ultra 256GB SSDs in RAID 0
    Fractal Design Define XL R2
    If you need any further info please let me know. Thanks

    First off this is a Users-to-Users Forum not MSI tech support if you wanted to address them. Don't use LU5 as it is quite buggy. You can't see if there are new vbios versions available as you can't compare gpu-z numbers or such. Different batches of the same model can use different vbios versions which have different (higher or lower) version numbers. A higher version number might be a different not newer vbios. To check your S/N and a copy of your current vbios is required.

    MSI live update not supported on Win XP 64

    Yes you are right.  The system drive will always be Drive C, but I am not sure if D will be my storage drive or the other sytem drive.  I could always try and find out but just havn't.
    In the past, I had lots of virtual drives (partitions), and HDD's (as many as 10 total IDE devices).  But when the larger drives became more affordable, I prefer running with just 2, the system and storage for the sake of simplicity.  Since I do beta testing, I have having to reformat and reinstall a lot, so this system has worked great for me.

    When i use MSI Live Update to check for BIOS or other things, it gives me a page not found thing.  I can use internet though.  How can i solve it?

    Hi
    Try downloading Live update from the download page of this site, it is the latest version.  You will see it under VGA - Utilities.  It should load and install without problem, save it to a folder for use next time you re install.
