MSI NBox 5900 Ultra wont work at 8x AGP

I recently bought a MSI 5900 Ultra 256 in the NBox package. I installed it and loaded the latest drivers and began playing DAOC. It was great for half an hour then it locked up. I also had an issue where my refresh rates were really bad and it was drawing like one frame every 10 seconds.
I rebooted the pc and turned off 8x agp. Botted it back up and played for the rest of the evening.
I just put in a new 500 watt PS with a 32A 12 v rating, so I would hope the PS isnt at fault. I also had recently cleaned all my nvidia drivers off the machine as I had installed an ATI 9600xt.
Please help.
I already spent a week working on an XFX 5900 ultra that I ended up sending back, I dont want do that again. Also, I have noticed a number of other folks here who have had the same issue.

I have the latest bios and drivers on my pc. I am not too sure what the grease has to do with it not working in 8x mode. I am not real sure what the 3.3 and 5v Amps are actually. The image on the website is very blurry. I looked up a review and found this information:
3.3v 28 A
5v 30 A
3.3v / 5.0v Combined Load - 200W
3.3v / 5.0v / 12.0v Combined Load - 480W
The review was found here:
http://www.systemcooling.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1371
I am going to try a full whip and reload of my machine. If this doesn't work I guess I will return the card and go ATI from here on out.
Could this have something to do with the fact that the motherboard is an nvidia chipset? Do MSI mother boards have issues running nvidia FX cards?

MSI GeForceFX 5900 Ultra 256mb N-box prob...

I recently acquired a new VGA, it’s a MSI NBOX nVidia GeForce FX5900 Ultra 256MB DDR2 8x AGP video card and I’m having some problems with it. Before this card I had a GeForce 3 Ti 200. I know the basics about motherboards but I don’t know them inside and out. Basically I know the slots and such, but I don’t really know what board I own. I believe it is a M810LR motherboard and I’m running an amd athlon 1.2 Ghz processor on it with 512 RAM with I believe 310 watt power supply.
Anyway that is my system I’m running on so onto the problem. I installed the card into the AGP slot, and it fit nicely. I powered on the PC and it worked, I saw all proper boot up screens, I got to windows ME and of course my desktop pixel quality and color was dumb down because I assume the question of new hardware. I put in the driver CD and installed the driver that came with the VGA no problems with the installation, then of course it asked to restart and I allowed it to. I saw all the correct boot up screens and when I got past the windows ME screen, my monitor went blank when it should have showed my desktop. The monitor was acting like it was not receiving any signal; I checked the connection and it was good. The monitor was acting like it wasn’t receiving anything so I restarted, and again the same problem.
I forced the system to start up in safe mode and it worked, but of course you cant get to a CD drive in safe mode and I want it to run outside of safe mode so I tried one more time in normal mode and the screen went blank again. It was working before with the regular nVidia driver before I installed the MSI driver so I figured I would try that, so I took out the GeForce FX5900 ultra and put my old GeForce 3 Ti 200 back in my PC so I could see what I was doing. Worked fine, so I reinstalled the nVidia driver turned off the PC and put the GeForce FX back in the PC, turned it on and saw all the proper boot up screens, got past the windows ME screen, got to my desktop, and 30 seconds later it freezes, I try it 4 more times and every time it ends up with 30-60 seconds of working fine then the freeze.
I heard great things about MSI products and I would just like mine to work properly.

Ive been dreading upgrading to win XP for a while now, to afraid that I will loose some games or info (like GTA 2).. but im ready and going to upgrade it in 4-5 days. Oh and dont worry if it dosent work, you'll hear from me

ATI is supposed to have better picture quality and better AA quality, but most reviews admit it's a pretty close call.

ok so Read this>>>> >>Posting Guide<< and give us the parts in your Build and exactly what memory and CPU you have?
also what is the Serial Number of your motherboard (Leave off the last 3 Digits if you do not want to give the full one)? ----- NOTE: its either on the rear of the board or on the UPC label on the Motherboard Box or both!

MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B and MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

Hi
I wonder if you could help me.
I am curious, the below is the spec of my machine.
AMD Athlon XP 3000 + 333 FSB CPU
MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B
256 GEFORCE FX 5900 ULTRA GRAPHICS
though the graphics card is reported as MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra [Nividia GeForce 5900 Ultra] in Windows control panel.
I am needing to learn more about exactly what is what in this PC.
I have installed MSI Live monitor and have upgraded to NVIDIA nForce System Drivers though my graphic driver is still reported as 4.4.0.3 or 43.51 [another question why are there two versions given to graphic drivers?]
As Live monitor doesn't report any further updates possible when there are newer Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website - can I install these ?
Also I am looking for a utility to monitor, change fan speed and temperature, is the Nvidia system utility ok to use? It says that it's only compatible with
nForce3 Pro
nForce3
nForce2
I'm not sure if I only have Nforce ?
I would really appreciate any help you may give - I know that the above probably sounds as if I'm as thick as 2 short planks.
Thanks in advance

MSI GTX 650 Wont work on my new pc

I just bought an ASUS Desktop, it has the AMD FX-6300 Six-Coure (3.5ghz) processor. 12 Gb of ram, and it came with
AMD Radeon HD 7470 card. I also bought a Diablotek 600watt power supply to with the MSI GTX 650 I bought for it. I swapped power supplies out and graphics cards. I turned the computer on and fans spin, lights light up and everything but no sound or image shows up on the monitor. So I don't know if it is even booting up or not. I swapped the graphics cards out and left the diablotek power supply in and it works just fine. Could someone help me assess this situation on why my MSI graphics card wont work? I don't want to spend $25 for someone to run diagnostics on it.

Quote
And could you further explain the GOP vbios thing?
GOP is a UEFI feature allowing UEFI booting when using Windows8. It requires vga's vbios and board's bios being GOP compliant. Using a vga with a GOP compliant vbios on a board with not GOP compliant UEFI bios results in the machine not posting. Boards without UEFI with just a legacy bios are not affected by this issue and would work with a vga using GOP compliant vbios.
Quote
Now it does say on the system requirements intel core series or higher processor or compatible system. Does that mean it wont work with AMD processors?
No, it's just to compare the required speed level. It will work fine with AMD systems as well.
Quote
And did you mean to try it in another computer when you said try another vga system?
That's what I said:

Try the graphics card in another computer.

45.23's Resolved SBA Issue on MSI 5900 Ultra

Couldn't enable SBA on MSI 5900 Ultra with 45.20 drivers. Fast Writes was ok. 45.23's resolved issue allows me to select, but have to reset after each reboot.

The motherboard chipset drivers (excluding those for the onboard LAN and audio) were installed before the nVidia drivers.
I re-installed the operating system (item 3 in my first post).
P.S.
Just used Driver Cleaner and tried again but still no joy.

MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) Power and Reset button wont work.

Right..i just bought this mobo.. Build the PC..Everything works fine...since i can open the pc from the button on the mobo..thing is:
The leds and HDD light work perfectly fine..
Power On/Off wont work
Reset wont work.
The cables are connected properly
Power SW:Orange (Positive) at 6.. Negative at 8...
Reset SW:Blue (Positive) at 7.. Negative at 5.
Power LED and HDD Led work fine..
They just wont work.. Should i RMA the card or is it something else i am missing?
Obviously i checked the buttons themselves..removed the front panel..nothing seems weird..
The buttons worked perfectly fine ~1 hour before i went to get the new stuff ;p

Does the reset button work? Have you tried using a screwdriver to short the pins? It may be the case and not the MOBO. Also, try reversing the connectors.
First image is of the reset switch on the MOBO.

5900 Ultra Problems

Hi guys, hope someone can help, as I am fairly lost on this one. I've been pretty out of touch with graphics cards for sometime now, this, being an NBox FX5900 Ultra, is my first for a good 4-5 yrs.
I did a full uninstall of drivers for my old card, granted not with a cleaner utility(i was unaware they existed!), and then installed the card and the MSI drivers that came with it. Everything seemed fine, I was having plenty of fun playing about with all the new settings, and dual screen, and loving up the power on a variety of games, including the copy of Unreal II that came with the NBox package. When i came out of Unreal, there where some major graphics corruptions, mainly chronically wrong colours and distortions, and my machine hung. I rebooted and got nothing but a white mess instead of a windows desktop. I have not been able to move past this despite updates of ALL drivers, mobo, gfx, and just about anything else i can think of.
There is also another much more disturbing problem, a sequence of pairs of wrong colour lines on the screen, at regular intervals running vertically, right from the BIOS boot.
I have tried installing the card on a completely fresh install of win2k on my old machine, a 700MHz Duron with 128Mb of SDRam, an obv weak machine but still should be able to handle the card. I have met exactly the same results once any drivers, MSI or nVidia, are installed.
I am thinking this is probably a hardware fault now, but i dont understand at all how it was working originally and is now screwed up. Any help anyone could offer would be MUCH appreciated. cheers guys.
Si

I think you diagnosed the problem your self, by installing it in a second rig
and it does the exact same thing, I would RMA that bad boy, ASAP!
Why it worked in the beginning and doesn’t work now, that’s a good
question, to many variables to consider! Heat, voltage, amperage, faulty
components, etc, etc.

5900 Ultra with only 128 mb DDR ?

Hello people!
I just bought a nBox with a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with 256 mb DDR. But after installing the latest driver (5214) provided by MSI, I've just discovered that my VGA Card has only 128 mb DDR. I found it strange because I don't know any Ultra version with 128 mb.
I'd like to have the help of yours to solve this problem. What can be the solution? A new BIOS version? (I don't find any in Live Update 3) A new diferent driver? Taking the Card back to the vendor?
Please people! Help me about this problem.
Thank You All!

Tell me if I'm a mile off here by all means, but something weird happened with my system a couple of days ago. The AGP card in my Sig until a couple of days ago was doing exactly as described above and was strangely reporting.....
Total Local Video Memory @ 256mb
Total Local Texture Memory @ 256mb....and then frustratingly....
Total AGP Memory @ 128mb
.....Obviously it should have been reporting @ 256mb and I also thought I had a duff card too after trying a whole manner of the usual tricks to try and locate the source of the problem and sort it. I know it's not the mentioned 5900 too, but it did it all the same and depending on what Application you use to view that information as well, then unless you had one that would report more detailed info like above, if merely using Control Panel for example, then it would report just the Total AGP of 128mg (clearly incorrectly so)).
Then, I brought the new Monitor also now in my Sig those couple of days ago and installed the Drivers for it, that's the only thing that has changed on my system for a while.....
I read this thread straight away with interest on seeing it after noticing my FX5600 doing the exact same, and on reaing these posts I went back to double check it again, and I have just found that mine is now correctly reporting at 256mb...HHHhhhMMmmmm. Now it could well be coincidence, but it does seem that in my case either the Monitor itself or the improved Drivers specifically for it sorted it instantly strangely enough, maybe something to try, you just never know sometimes do you. The old Monitor wasn't exactly crap either (that was a 17" Samsung Syncmaster 750s, which very soon I'll also be plugging that in too for a Dual Monitor capability and hope that on sodoing that the problem doesn't return either, but if it did I'd be able to tell you for certain too obviously)!!!
I'm wondering if the ONLY other thing that may have had an influence is I used the AGP Display "D.O.T" and set that up to the "Commander" Setting too?? As said, other than that NOTHING at all has been changed on my system for a fair while!!!
In all probability it won't, but maybe there's an outside chance that this occurence is relatedas the FX5600 and the 5900 aren't that disimilar or detached from one another when all is said and done either other than the blatantly obvious lol!!
I'm posting in hope that maybe it could be of use after reading your posts and otherwise hope that those concerned are sorted and rid of the issue in the near future too, good luck !!
