VIDEO IN - MSI NBox

MSI NBox FX5200 128MB DDR 8x AGP, DVI & S-Video In
Hi i was wandering if anyone knew how to use the S-Video In Feature on this 128 AGPx8 card?
i didnt get any software that alows me to record video..
help.
thanks
karl

You should have got winproducer for that. Ask the dealer for it!
But anyway, basicly get the WDM capture driver from nvidia and you can then use any standard video capture software (virtualdub is available for free - open source).

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

Nbox FX5900sp quiery

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help.
I have an MSI nbox 5900sp, the problem is that it runs slower (much slower) than a normal 5900. I have unlocked the Nvidia o/c utility and have increased the clocks to more normanl operating speeds. Should I raise the AGP voltage for the card to compensate for this?.
Gery.

Kingfisher,
As standard I was getting about 5500 in 3DMark®03, my m8 gets high 6s only difference in the system are the cards and he has a 2800+(333Mhz)
have not tried out this with my new settings. I also stuck the voltage up to 1.7 volts and seems to be more stable. Once I install 3dmark again I will post results.
Cheers,
Gerry

Need Original BIOS for 5900Ultra

I have an MSI NBOX nVidia GeForce FX5900 Ultra. I messed up the BIOS, and need a copy of the Original cuz i accidentally deleted the backup I made. The ony 5900U BIOS files I have found online or some Starforce version. I know that's not what I had before. Anybody know where I can get a copy of the original BIOS for my VGA card? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Later!

Hey, thanks for the BIOS file. It flashed fine, but now I realized you have a different card then me. Here is a picture of my card:
http://www.gamers-depot.com/hardware/video_cards/msi/5900u/shot1.htm
I don't think thats what you have cuz the BIOS still refers to the card as a Starforce, whatever the hell that is. Either way, thx for your help. Hopefully someone else can do the same if they have my same card. So, if anyone has this video card (MSI NBOX FX5900U 256MB), plz send me a copy of ur BIOS. Thx in advance, later!

K7N2G will not boot with 9500 Ultra

I have a K7N2G-ILSR motherboard that boots fine with the onboard video controller. When I plug in an MSI Nbox 9500 Ultra, the machine will not POST, no video, no nothing. I tried installing BIOS 1.8, which is supposed to fix an issue with the 9500 ultra, but no joy.

Suz
I don't agree with your comment of Infineon memory being "lousy". I have very similar memory that you do and my rig is very stable (at the moment)(knock on wood). This memory is on the compatibilty approved list by nForce; that's why I chose this dual channel kit.
It sounds like your problem was bios settings related with your cpu/memory ratio (1:1). The nForce2 chipset runs more stable with this setting, than running memory at 400FSB while the cpu runs at 333FSB. I have learned this by reading a large amount of posts in these forums!

Will the MSI FX5900Ultra NBOX fit in these motherboards?

I am wondering if this video card (NBOX 5900 ultra) will fit in the following motherboards.
ABIT AI7
EPOX 4PCA3+
I appreciate any feedback you guys can offer.

How about an IC7-G? The reason I ask is my supplier has only a few mobos to choose from and they dont carry MSI....I would get the MSI board but I can get an awesome deal from my supplier because I did some work for him (about 3/4 of the lowest prices of pricewatch). The mobos that I can get are the Abit IS7, IC7-G, AI7. Epox 4pda and 4pca. Asus P4p800.
The revision 2 epox board has a different heatsink and seems to allow a bit more space than the picture you posted.
Thanks for the help

FX5600-VTDR128 or FX5600 Ultra Nbox 256Mb

I'm trying to choose between these two but have a question...
As I understand it, the VTDR's GPU clock runs at 325 Mhz, and the 128Mb memory runs at 550 Mhz.
but the FX5600 Ultra's GPU clock runs at only 235 MHz core but has 256Mb of memory running at 800 MHz .
Is this correct and if so, which gives the best performance, the faster clock or the larger faster memory????
The Nbox has a better games bundle, the VTDR a handy remote - but these wont influence my choice - just the performance.
Thanks
Nezza

Thanks for the reply PoRsChE, and yes I agree with you, but......
I'm not really a gamer, so ultimate perf' ain't as issue.
I mainly want either of the FX56's because:
1. They're not ATI's (have had BIG issues with compatability)
2. I mainly need the ViVo function of the card (hence I don't need the extra speed of the 5700)
3. I like the design of the MSI cards (they go with my illuminated case - yeah, I know, but what the heck!
4. They are at my price limit!
As I can afford either, it makes sense to go for the one with the better performance, just in case.
As I said, I'm not really a gamer, but I fancy the software package of the Nbox, but then the remote of the VTDR would be handy, so in that, I have no preference.
Big question, though is why is the clock speed of the Ultra so much lower than the non-ultra (or have i been miss-informed!)

Nbox N5900SP NEED HELP PLEASE

HI FOLKS
I ve just bought this card and installed. I used the drivers cd, when i reboot the computer after few minutes some green dots and vertical stripes apeared on the desktop so i reboot again it was ok and i start playing the game call pain killer about 10 minutes later dots and stripes apeared again its doing this even when i reboot the computer during the reboot on bios screen and motherboard logo screen the dots are green and the stripes white.
Also memory clock is on 700 [default] if i make it higher or lower than that on msi clocking features which is on where desktop settings are [you guys would know what i m on about] anyway higher then 700 like 850 all the graphichs goes funny

Nbox Help ( Urgent )

can anyone help me plse
i am now currently in KL, Malaysia
the NBOX sale in here is NBOX 5600
can i know which type of 5600 is inside the NBOX ?
FX5600-VTDR256
FX5600-TD256

That's hard to say since the news release says there are two flavors of the 5600 available in the nBox.
My only suggestion is to ask the reseller directly or look on the side of the box and compare it to the specs found on MSI's Taiwan website.

Unable to capture video with MSI StarForce 822 GeForce 3!

I have a MSI StarForce 822 GeForce3 graphics card with 64 MB DDR SDRAM on it. I have VGA Out, as well as TV-out (AV), TV-out (S-video), and TV-in(?) (S-video).
This brings me to two questions:
First, I have NEVER been able to figure out how to use the TV-in (S-video) port. I have tried numerous programs designed to capture video, including the one that came with the graphics card, and none of them recognize the card's TV-in. Do you have any recommendations as to how to use this port to capture video?
Second, in reading through the online manual for the graphics card on the company's website (under the name G3 Pro-VT64D MS-8822), I saw that the card supposedly has the capability of "High-quality HDTV/DVD playback" (8822 v2.0.pdf, page 8 ). However, in playing back DVD's through the card's s-video output onto my HDTV-ready monitor, I definately do not see HD quality videos. Could explain why this is the case?
I have an assignment coming up where I must do some video-editing work, and thus I am posed with a situation where I need to capture video using this card (and I can't afford to buy something new for the moment).
Thanks for your help.
Charles Bergmeier

If you have the Video Capture Driver installed then the video capture program should see it. On MSI site version 1.16 of the driver is available for download.
If you still have problems (e.g. too many frames lost) you can try using Virtual VCR (worked best in my case).

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU video lock-ups

Hello,
I have a 3 month old MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. I am running Windows XP Professional and I am having a periodic lock-up where the screen will show blinking colored blocks and the system will freeze. Sometimes just hitting reset will cure the problem. Other times, hitting reset will create two vertical stripes of colored blocks scrolling down the screen. I have used the board on two entirely separate systems (One with AMD Athlon 2000+, Gainward GeForce 4200, 512 MB Samsung 2700 DDR, Western Digital Expert HD (tried both IDE #1 and RAID controller) (Other System, Athlon 1800+, a different Gainward Geforce 4200, 256 Crucial 2700 DDR, an older Maxtor hard drive). In either system, every once in a while, the system will freeze as described above (it has happened in Netscape 7.0, Microsoft Word 2000, America's Army game).
I have played around with the bios settings, reformatted hard drives, tried various revisions of the nvidia display drivers, swapped out video cards, etc. Any ideas? Do I have a bad board? Do I need to flash the BIOS? If the board is bad, what do I need to do to return it?
Thanks,
Matt Gumaer

The second system has a 330 watt enermax power supply. With the new system I put together, I put virtually the same board (MSI KT3 Ultra 2 with bluetooth and RAID), everything is the same as my first system (except the KT3 Ultra-ARU) and the stability is fine. So, I'm reasonably confident its not the power supply.

MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool!!!

Hi guys,
We the forum team have developed a new way of flashing.
You no longer need a floppy or anything, just an USB-stick.
The tool has been tested together with MSI and as far as we have done our testing, there are no problems at all.
As long as the USB-stick is FAT or FAT32 formatted!
However, flashing is allways risky, so if it goes bad it's your own fault, but that goes for all flashing you do.
This tool is intended to flash MSI retail motherboards and laptops,
but if needs you can use any other machine to prepare the necessary stuffs and the USB stick there,
before move the USB stick to the msi product that you want to flash.
The way it works is simple: Download the package and download the BIOS from the MSI website that you want to flash.
The rest is straight forward.
Make sure that your board is set to be able to boot from USB.
So turn on USB Legacy Support in the BIOS.
Boot and press F11 to get the boot-popup and select your USB-device to boot.
(some boards have a different key, like K8N Master uses ESC for the boot-menu)
What ever you do, make sure you read all warnings!
The forum nor MSI is responsible if it fails for you.
Nor is this software supported by MSI technical support!
Please report problems/buggs if you find them.
currently supported OS ( both 32 & 64 bit):
Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (also Windows in Virtualbox under Linux!)
(all kind of versions)
NOTE: If you are having problems getting your USB device to boot correctly, you may need to format it correctly as the geometry data may be incorrect. You can do that by pickup option "Fix My USB key" from the Tool or by using >>> THIS <<< tool here! For future usage you can skip this step, it need to be done only once if your stick need adjustment.
This topic is for discussion of and help with the USB flash tool only. If you have a problem with your PC and need help then do not hijack this topic, please start your own new topic in the correct area of this forum!
NEW! >>> Read the comprehensive user guide here! <<<

Hi!
I'm have problem with antivirus program too.

This file is a antivirus testing program?
Hi Max,
"This file is a antivirus testing program? "
yes, the latest version accidentally really become a test for any AV....
in latest 1.13b Avast! no more report false positive,
but all others AV software starting reporting a different false positive results:(all AV listed didn't report false positive problem in a provisional version) Avast! was fixed and no more report the false passivity and passed, but all other AV software started to be a lot confused...
Kaspersky Anti-Virus - Proactive Defense Warning: Riskware detected.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2nd ID - Backdoor.Win32.Iroffer.af
Dr Solomon's: probably found Zafi.D.Virus
Symantec: Bloodhound.Overpacked / * Overpacked when a potentially unknown virus is found using Symantec Bloodhound technology */
Panda: Win32:Trojan-gen.(Mytob.U.Mod)
Mcafe: Worm.W32/Bakain
Dr.Web: Trojan.Blakhal
Bit.Defender: Trojan.JS.Obsq.Gen
Just to clarify one more time, all things listed are false alert coused and exist in latest version only due Avast! fix.(1.13b)
didn't continue to test with rest of AV...
only Avast! and NOD32 report no problem detected.
in 1.13a all false positive listed above doesn't exist, but only Avast! report false positive.
Hoverer, the wave of false positive mess has been resolved along with Avast! false positive as well.
New version is ready, 1.13c:
- fixed false positive wave which confusing most of AV software. (all AV do not report any problems anymore)
- fixed 3 minor bugs:
* after finished work the tool do not quit normal as expected and hang instead, that happend in x32bit OS only when used has been asked for reboot and answered with "No". e.g. in described specified case.
* 4th mainboard filter report positive results in some Biostart mainboard and this cause tool to false ID some Biostar board as MSI one.
* added missing drive letter as USB key choice ("I")
