MSI N210-512D2 Vid card doesn't display graphics with MSI z77ma-g45 motherboard

New Motherboard: MSI z77ma-g45
New Card: N210-512D2
Does not display graphics.
I stick a HIS Radeon HD 5450 in the MB and its fine.  I stick the N210-512D2 in a old dell and it's fine.
Whats making the N210-512D2 Card incompatable with z77ma-g45 motherboard?

Using it along an AMD card is quite useless and therefor results maybe wrong. Try the 210 alone in the other slot. Also please list system specs: >>Posting Guide<<

  • Works: MSI Z77MA-G45 Motherboard

    Just dropping a note to say that the MSI Z77MA-G45 motherboard with UEFI works perfectly under Arch. Initial installation was a little bit painful because I was installing from a USB drive that was not booted in UEFI mode. By following this guide and the installation guide, I managed to install refind, which got me into Arch, then I just repeated the GRUB2 installation steps to complete my install.
    Systemd is a little weird and will definitely take some time to get used to, but I really like the new 100% manual installation method, along with the improved Arch bootstrapping and chroot'ing scripts. Very happy to see that this is still the same (but better!) distro that I used 6 years ago.

  • Prevue Doesn't Display Graphics

    My copy of Preview has stopped displaying graphics. It displays PDF's just fine. It doesn't seem to matter whether I invoke Preview by opening it and dragging a graphic to it, or by double-clicking on a graphic with Preview launching itself. Such graphics don't show up in the "Open Recent" list, presumably because they were never opened. On the other hand, when attempting to open graphics files from the File menu, graphics files are still recognized as eligible for selection.
    Any ideas on what's up? On a fix?
    Thanks in advance ...

    Thanks for the helpful reply.
    It wasn't a permissions issue, though.
    No ...
    (As is so often the case, the answer to one question simply bring s up another ...)
    I had a perfectly good copy of Preview right there in my Applications Folder. Somehow, my System found a busted copy, on a different partition, left over from a nasty crash caused by a nasty Kernel Panic. I eventually discovered that it was not running the expected copy.
    So ... why would the system wander off to another partition to find a different copy of Preview (and a broken iPhoto, too!) instead of the one in its own partition's Apps Folder? I thought only humans did things like that.

  • Datagrid doesn't display numbers with more than 19 digits

    With patch 1 the SQL Developer datagrid should display numbers with more than 10 digits. But the limit seems to be 19 digits now. Number20 and Number21 fields are not displayed on my machine.

    Try again with Vista 32bit, 64bit is highly unstable and only a few have it running stable.
    I've been running Vista x64 for the past nine months, and now with my K9A2 P--and have had no problems.  I mean, none.  Have not had any occasion to even consider reinstalling Vista x32. Vista x64 has been stable as a rock for me consistently since I installed it.  Would not consider going back to XP under any circumstances.
    There is a problem with Beard0's system that I would say boils down to device drivers or faulty hardware or some combination thereof.  His experience is dramatically different from my own, and the problems he's having are not indicative of my experience with Vista, whether x86 or x64.

  • Wireless-Card doesn't not work with WPA/WPA2 but with WEP [Solved]

  • Portal Doesn't Display page with text/plain content type

    Hi,
    I created a WSRP portlet with text/plain content type and added it to my page, but I get the following error message:
    Error: Could not get markup. The cookie or session is invalid or there is a runtime exception.
    when I add the portlet to my page.
    It works when I use text/html content, but text/plain doesn't work.
    Any ideas how I can get my portlet to display in the portal?
    Thanks in advance,
    GB

    IE6 cannot display text/plain (support.microsoft.com/kb/329661).
    Does the server know what to do (i.e. how to render) with text/plain?

  • Itunes doesn't display graphics, only text, has anyone seen this?

    Just loaded iTunes 10.5 on Windows...only TEXT is displayed...has anyone seen this?

    I have this exact problem, and it occurs on every device I own: iMac, Macbook, iPad, Win 7. The explanation for the issue is that the stylesheet isn't coming over (.CSS).
    Because it occurs on every device in my house, I'm assuming there's something in my wireless router configuration that's causing it. I haven't found the issue yet, but I'm digging through my modem configuration to see.
    go to either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
    That's your modem's IP address. If you can figure out what's in the configuration that's causing it, please post back.

    When working in the design view in a text block the cursor shows in one spot but the code view show it is over a few characters so you have a real hard time editing text in that mode.  How do you fix this.  I have had this issue in several version of DW I am in 5 now.

    I don't have this problem.

    Easy. Manually update the drivers.
    Go:
    My Computer > Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager > VGA card > Right click > Properties > Driver tab > Update driver find the folder with the ForceWare driver > Click OK. Your done.
    You'll have to extract the drivers out of the .exe that they come in firstly mind.
    I want to keep my latest downloaded nvidia drivers and add official MSI OC tweaking in windows xp display panel, so ... you asked me to find the folder with the ForceWare driver : last (from nvidia) or previous (from MSI's CD driver) ?
    And how can I extact the drivers out of the .exe without launching install procedure ?
    Thanks ... 

  • Vid card help

    I dont have alot of money and am looking to upgrade my vid card,
    This what i am looking at. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127481R
    This is what i have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082
    Will the MSI Open box vid card run circles around the Gts 8800 320. Or any suggestions would be great. I have 100 us Dollar budget. Thanks
    I Play medal of Honor 2010 everyday.

    Don't know about running circles  but I do suggest you check some comparisons here http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/178?vs=173
    The site allows you to select 2 cards to compare. The list is not that comprehensive, but check it out and see how much performance difference there is between the cards.

  • Dual ADC displays and a vid card w/ no ADC ?

    Hi.
    I've got a PowerMac G4 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro vid. card. I bought it when I purchased my 17" Apple display not knowing that the Apple display had its own connector that required me to but a $99 adaptor that also requires a power cord!
    Anyway, my old CRT (that acted as my 2nd display on the G4) finally died. I purchased a nice 15" Apple display, but apparently forgot to consider the ADC connection.
    I need a cheap, fast solution.
    I've got a G4 with the 9800 Radeon which has a DVI and VGA connection.
    By the way, does having 128MB DDR of video ram help with rendering time??
    Ok, back to the original question.
    I also have the original video card that came with the PowerMac G4 1.2mhz Quicksilver. I believe it's an 9000 Radeon. It's got an ADC and VGA connection.
    How can I setup a dual display on the G4 with the two Apple displays? Both are ADC and neither card has (2) ADC connections.
    I've got two ADC to DVI convertors and I have the VGA to DVI convertor that came with my 17" apple display, but the DVI end doesnt match the DVI end on the 2nd ADC to DVI convertor.
    Any suggestions? Is there a dual ADC video card?

    Hi
    As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 that came as the stock graphics card in certain PowerMacs had an ADC connector and a DVI connector. It also came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If this is the case you should be able to attach one monitor directly to the ADC connector and the other to the DVI connector using the $99 DVI to ADC adapter. You'd be losing the benefit of the Radeon 9800 though.
    Unfortunately there aren't any graphics cards with dual ADC connectors, as the card (and AGP slot) would have to provide enough juice to power two monitors. The options seem to be:
    1. One AGP card with an ADC connector and DVI connector, which would require one DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9000.
    2. One AGP card with two DVI connectors, which would require two DVI to ADC adapters, such as the Radeon 9600 retail version. Mines worked perfectly, although there do seem to be problems with it in certain Quicksilvers and Digital Audio G4s.
    3. One AGP card with a DVI connector, which would require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as your existing Radeon 9800 and one PCI card with a DVI connector, which would also require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9200. An AGP card with an ADC connector would also work but seems pointless given you've already got the 9800 and adapter.
    Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a really cheap solution. As already mentioned, there are VGA to DVI converter boxes on the market, but they're incredibly expensive and you'd be converting from digital to analogue and back to digital, with some loss of quality.

  • Vid card for TV to HD Display yet?????/

    Aloha All,
    I am wondering where to find a vid card that allows cable hookup to see tv on my 30" HD display. I am not looking for a unit to record TV. I am looking for a card to fit into the pci express slot and be able to do both computer and TV functions on my 30" display and preferably in HD of course.
    Ideally one card with a cable input and DVI out, and or one with a switch to go back and forth.
    Does anyone know if anyone has make the like and if so where, ($$$$ not an issue), Maybe I should make one my self. What do you think?
    Mahalo RDM

    tadaaaa

  • MSI 970a-g46 motherboard starts up but doesn't display anything.

    Hello, I'm having problems with a new motherboard I got from Amazon, specifically the 970a-g46. The following are my specs in use with this motherboard:
    CPU: AMD Phenom 2 x4 965
    GPU: nVidia GeForce 560 GTX
    Ram: 8gb Kingston HyperX Fury 1866mhz.
    PSU: Corsair 650TX (650 Watts)
    Compatability-wise, everything checks out so I wasn't expecting problems at first. All the other parts excluding the ram I've used before. Here's exactly what happens:
    I power up the computer after everything is installed and connected. The 4 phase LEDs turn on which tell me the CPU is powered up and working (so I assume). I don't get any beeps or buzzs mainly because I don't see any speaker/buzzer on this board. The monitor blinks and while it is connected to my GPU, it doesn't display anything, it's just a black screen. I can leave it on for a few minutes and I'll still not see anything happen. An important observation here is that my keyboard which has LEDs will turn on after a short period of time in boot-up (with my older set-up that is). This does not happen ever regardless of how long I leave my computer on on this new mobo.
    I've gone over and checked/tested numerous things:
    * The PCI-E and ATX cables for the GPU, motherboard and CPU are all connected and secured (I've tried both 4-pin and 8-pin connections for the CPU, neither help).
    * I've tried jumping the CMOS multiple times to no avail.
    * I tested the ram on another computer and it worked just fine on that one.
    * I've tested the motherboard without a GPU and it still does nothing (though I think that's because this motherboard doesnt have its own integrated GPU for some reason).
    So far the only possible reasons why my computer is not working is because of my PSU (very unlikely as it's only a year old and it's a Corsair, which I've heard is very reliable in the long-run), GPU (It is quite a few years old but even without the GPU my computer still doesn't go past boot-up), CPU (possible due to its age and how many freaking time I've reseated it (probably around 8 times) so I wouldn't doubt it, but before I put it into this motherboard I did check its pins and they were all there and placed nice and smoothly into the socket.) and finally the motherboard (it's possible that this is just a defected motherboard and giving me a super hard time which would be a first in all the years I"ve spent computer building).
    The best case scenario of course is me giving some kind of oversight to how I transferred over the parts and connectors. I might've missed something obvious to please any advice/insight on how I can solve this problem would be greatly appreciated
    EDIT: Some other things I did but forgot to mention:
    * Checked ground nut things and ensured they matched the specifications of the motherboard ATX; only 6 are under the board and each one is aligned up with the holes on the board as designed.
    * Tried booting up without powering the CPU. Only one phase LED light came on, still the same problem (for an obvious reason this time now).
    * Re-seated GPU multiple times, re-connected cables multiple times.
    What I have NOT done is re-seat the CPU because I am almost out of acetone so I would need to get another supply of that which won't be until tomorrow. I also have not re-seated everything back on my older motherboard to check if it still works. Tomorrow I'll most likely do that and if I find that the old motherboard works flawlessly then that tells me that the new motherboard I got is either defected or there's some compatability issue I"m missed out on.
    EDIT 2: Just found a speaker and plugged it into the motherboard. Booted it up and I got no beeps whatsoever. So this mobo is giving me no video activity (there is a signal it's just blank), and no beeps from the motherboard. I have no idea what that could mean at this point.
    EDIT 3: I decided to test a few things with the new speaker I just got. First I removed ram and tried running, I got 3 beeps which I assume is the beep sequence of faulty/no ram. Removed the power to CPU and the GPU itself individually, gave no beeps this time.

    What's the serial number of your MB? Needed to determine what BIOS may be on the MB. Exactly which version of the CPU is it? There were several different 965 CPUs and they required different BIOS versions, 1.2, 1.9,2.2 depending on which CPU you actually have.
     Also another problem may be that native memory supported by your CPU is DDR3-1333, not 1866
     None of the supported CPUs have integrated graphics, any MB graphics would be in the chipset, not CPU. Examples would be 785G, 880G
    Thank you very much rhradacut! The problem was that the mobo for whatever reason was forcing 1866mhz on my CPU when it only supported up to 1600mhz. I had to install a spare ddr3 module to downclock it so that I could access the BIOS and manually set the DRAM timing to 1600mhz for it to work. That's a very strange problem that I figured would've been auto-resolved by the hardware, and would also be a big problem if I didn't have any spare DDR3 ram to work with.
    Once again thanks for helping out on solving my problem.
