MSI NX6600GT causing reboot

Hi every time i try to load a game or go onm google earth my system shuts down and reboots. I recently did a full reinstall of XP pro and had to reinstall the drivers for my MSI NX6600GT. The drivers i installed first were the latest MSI drivers but i had the same problem so i instaled the latest Nvidia forceware drivers and i still have the same problem. My card is MSI NX6600GT AGP. Can anyone help please? ???

zigyzigger,
Before I forget, try the Vid Card in another comp to see if the problem follows the Vid Card or stays with the comp.
Take Care,
Richard
Good idea. Try another PSU with your rig, if possible.

  • URGENT HELP: PC can't post after Bios Update on MSI NX6600GT-VTD128

    The LiveBIOS utility on my PC showed that there was an updated BIOS of my MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 that I was using and I proceeded to update using the facility.
    Everything seem fine until the system was rebooted, now the system refuse to post. All I see when I power on the system is a moment of power (e.g. I can see the lights on my keyboard and card reader), before they also disappear.
    My system is a P4 2.4 Northwood running on a MSI 875P.  I had already cleared the CMOS on my motherboard but it didn't help.  I would appreciate greatly for any advice.

    Common mistake.
    Unfortunately, the cure is likely to be painful.
    Did you disable your Antivirus and Firwall before doing such a thing?
    Video cards aren't like motherboards, and just updating for the simple fact that it's available is wrong regarding BIOS's for anything.
    You should have a specific reason to do so.
    Now, did you backup your old BIOS?
    You may need to contact MSI directly to get the original BIOS and use a PCI video card so you can boot and see what you are doing to reflash your AGP card.
    How to contact MSI.
    Thanks for the advice.  And you are right, the cure is painful, particularly, when I didn't back up the old BIOS and neither do I have a PCI graphics card lying around.
    I did deactivated my antivirus whilst flashing, and there was no firewall running.

  • [GeForce 6] MSI NX6600GT GC

    Using Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS9) with MSI nx6600gt GC cause problems.
    If I want to use fsnavigator with fs9 I have to set the drivers to force 8*S AA and 16* AF. Fsnavigator works properly but now FS9 doesn't show any picture for the selected aircraft (only a black picture)
    But when I run FS9 with MSI FX5200 everything is all right and when I use NX6600GT i have the problem.
    Could someone tell me why? The problem may come from the card itself ?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    monicatang,
    It could be a Driver issue, try the latest DirectX and the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • [GeForce PCe] MSI NX6600GT PCi-e ?

    Hi there,
             I have 2 MSI NX6600GT 128 running in SLi mode. When I goto use MSI Turbo Experience it comes up with a screen that says:
    "MSIVGA.ocx initialization error". I have 71.84 drivers and all other drivers are installed. It also happened with the 66.93 drivers that came on the CD and so I updated.  I contacted MSI and they told me to read the forums here as there most likely would be a solution. I built this system from the ground up myself. I have had no troubles with it. I can play games like MVP2005 and Doom3 with no probs. But sometimes when I goto load up a saved game playing Silent Hunter 3 starts to initialize then goes to the desktop (this has happened very rarely). I haven't overclocked anything I won't be doing that. I only have a few games installed as I am taking things slowly. My GPU temps are 48c idle and after playing Doom 3 for about an hour are 60c. CPU is 35c and case temp is 43c. I have a 120mm fan blowing in from the front and 2 80mm fans exhausting. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    Kick MSI Turdo Experience to the curb (get rid of it)
    It's more of a sales gimmick, then really being usefull in most cases.
    If it continues, you may want to start all over from scratch and get the latest drivers here nVidia Drivers
    I always avoid drivers on the CD at all costs and the manufacturer's drivers as well. Unless of course there is a known problem or issue that mandates use of the manufacturer's drivers. Otherwise, always get the latest drivers from the chipset vendor.
    Also, a bit tedious is trolling forums for any clues as to what everone else is using without issue, you'll at least have an educated head start.

  • Compatibility between MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 and motherboard

    Hi guys, I want to know if there's compatibility between my motherboard "MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R AGP8X" and the "MSI NX6600GT-VTD128" because I want to buy this Video Card but my doubt is about the compatibility or maybe some errors, and I have a 400W Power Supply.. that's ok for this video card?... thnx !!!

    hi, how are you.
    wel there are no cmpatibility issue with this motherboard and the video card... or i am not notify about...
    but do you have to give "us" (all posiblle reply) more info about your pc, anyway the only limitation about it's the slot used, that motherboard uses agp8x and you have to buy a 6600vtd agp 8x, because thera are one model pci express that's all
    the power issue: not a issue realy 400w power source are just enough
    th real monster are hte 6800 family that need  470w or something like that to work fine
    ok i hope  best to you and your newer card, and tellme how works this magnificent piece of technological art(in middle rank) and the capture feature with onchip video processor
    byee!!

  • MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 & MSI "3D! Turbo Experience"

    Hi,
    yesterday I bought a MSI NX6600GT-VTD128. The card is running fine. I also installed the MSI tool "3D! Turbo Experience". However, the tool does not show any relevant information: no voltage, no memory clock, no fan speed...

    Hi,
    As most will probably agree, 3D turbo is not a very useful piece of software.  Your best bet is not to use it.  There are lots of 6600GT posts here that address the monitoring issues of that card.
    For memory clock and OC'ing you can use the coolbit reg update.  You can find a good write-up in the stickies at the top of the forum.
    Good Luck,

    If the game is using a profile that uses SFR the screen is split in two horizontally ... pls see below
    Single frame rendering
    Single frame rendering (SFR) mode in NVIDIA SLI works similarly to Metabyte’s PGC in the sense that the graphics card splits the workload horizontally across the screen. One card takes the upper portion while the second card takes the lower segment. The frame buffer data is then combined and sent to the monitor.
    It’s important to note that SFR doesn’t necessarily split the screen directly down the middle; in some scenes the lower portion of the screen may be more complex than the upper portion, or vice versa. NVIDIA has developed custom load-balancing algorithms that are designed to take this into account, and split the screen appropriately – if one GPU takes longer to render, no problem, the driver just gives that GPU less work to do.
    Alternate frame rendering
    Up to now, ATI’s Rage Fury MAXX was arguably the most well known card to take advantage of alternate frame rendering. Rather than splitting the work up every frame like in SLI, with AFR, each graphics core handled alternate frames. Graphics core one would handle everything in frame 1, while graphics core two would then handle frame number 2. Each chip renders every other frame instead of alternating lines in the same frame, as 3dfx had done with scan-line interleave. If one GPU doesn’t finish drawing its frame, the remainder is pushed to the second GPU. This is the same concept NVIDIA has employed for their SLI technology, only we’re dealing with two distinct graphics cards, rather than two graphics cards on the same core.
    The most well known downside with AFR has been perceived “lag” that may be felt by some twitch players in very fast-paced first-person shooters such as Quake 1 or Quake 3. The argument is that user inputs, such as a quick flick of your wrist to nail your opponent in mid-air with your rail gun may feel lagged. In theory, this could happen when the second AFR scenario we described occurs – GPU1 doesn’t finish its frame and the remainder is passed to GPU2 – there could be a lag between the key being pressed and the output being shown on the screen. Ironically enough, NVIDIA used this same argument to tout their GeForce 256 over Rage Fury MAXX five years ago.
    We played a little Half-Life 2 (which uses AFR by default) to test out this theory, but didn’t perceive any additional lag during our “testing” sessions. Buffering kicks in when data is split between GPUs, and it appears to work well. Also keep in mind that today’s shooters aren’t as fast-paced as they were a few years ago.
    Currently, AFR is NVIDIA’s preferred mode for SLI. In general, AFR uses less communications overhead (as no communications overhead between GPUs is used as long as frames are contained to each GPU), allowing it to scale better than SFR. NVIDIA also says that applications with heavy vertex loads benefit less from SFR.

  • [GeForce 6] MSI NX6600GT, no boot with KM400 board.

    Three days ago I bougt a MSI NX6600GT VTD128 Videocard. Unfortonately I am not able to boot at all with my KM400 mainboard with the VIA chipset. On advice I found on the internet I bought a more powerfull 420 Watt PSU wich did not solve the problem.
    When turning on the power all fans and drives come up, but the only LED what's on is the HDD LED wich is constantly on. Not even the powerLED comes on and I don't even get a POST. When replacing the 6600 by my older Radeon 9200SE everything is working allright. I played around with my BIOS settings such as AGP drinving control and 4X, 8X, but nothing seems to help. Finally I begin to doubt if my 6600 card is compatible with my KM400 board.
    Can anybody help me what to do else?

    Quote from: Apple renegade on 23-September-05, 20:18:18
    Hmm...thought u had a MSI KM400 
    Try tis bunch of changes in BIOS:
    AGP voltage: 1,6v
    Fast-write (if it's there): Off
    AGP speed: 4x
    Be sure to disable the onboard !!!
    I can only change the AGP drive control. I tried B9h, CCh, DCh. Non of them with succes. I cannot find the AGP voltage in my AwardBIOS. I also cannot see an option to disable the onboard.

  • [XP SP1] Java Installation causes reboot

    OS: Windows XP Pro SP1 + All patches uptill 20031019
    HW: AthlonXP 1600+ on VIA KT266a (MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU), GeForce 3 Ti200 (Asus V8200T2 Deluxe), OS installed on RAID-0
    WinXP c:, Apps d:, Data e:
    Doing a clean install once again. During installation of OpenOffice 1.1.0 I found out that I forgot to install Java first.
    Tried installing jre_1.4.2_01 using 'runas' where I used an account in the 'Administrator' group to install to d:\Java\jre_1.4.2_01. This caused the machine to reboot during the 3rd phase of installation. During reboot all volumes except c: were flagged dirty and errors were detected. Java install dir was converted to a file and many files in directory FOUND.0xx, probably the Java files.
    Then I tried installing older versions of jre (1.4.1_03 and 1.3.1_09) which all failed the same. Tried installing logged on as Administrator which resulted in the same. All reboots. :(
    Will try 1.4.2_02 and installing in Safe Mode tonight...
    Anyone experience similar behaviour?

    So I installed 1.4.2_02 on my laptop (Dell C610) which ran fine (also XP SP1 with all relevant patches)
    - Copied the java install dir to the workstation.
    - Copied the Control Panel applet to the workstation
    - Imported an laptop-export of HKLM\Software\JavaSoft with changed pathnames
    - Started the control-panel applet
    - Got General Exception

    - OK-ed the General Exception box
    - Played around with some settings
    - Exited through the windows 'Close' button
    And REBOOT
    This is no longer an installation issue only.
    Probably the installer starts Java as well to perform some functions, where java causes the reboot.....

  • HELP! GE70 shows _ or - after MSI logo, cannot reboot or enter OS

    I was working on my GE70 today. Suddenly it froze, hot reboot did not work, so I had to pressed the power button to turn off the laptop. When I turned it on, it only showed a white - or _ character with a black background after the MSI logo, and it stuck there. I had to power off and on again, and pressed the F11 button this time, it entered into BIOS directly (it is weird that it did not show the Boot Menu as usual). It still showed the white - or _ after leaving BIOS, I thus had to power off and on the again. Since this point, I have never been able to enter BIOS.
    I tried the following, none of them make a miracle.
    1. uninstalled and installed HD drive
    2. uninstalled and installed memory sticks
    3. reset EC
    I found a post describing the same symptom at https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252292.msg1450679#msg1450679 , but I was not able to locate the battery for CMOS.
    Has anyone encountered the similar issue? I really want to fix it without sending the laptop to MSI, as it seems a long journey...

    Problem resolved
    The issue was caused by the boot SSD. According to the conversation with the support, the white dash may indicate a defective boot device.
    Today I plugged the SSD with an mSATA-SATA adapter, and connected it to another computer. The SSD was recognized as an unformatted disk in the Disk Management. I had to format it and placed it back in GE70. Then I restored Windows 8 to SSD with the Recovery Image created before. GE70 can restart as usual!
    However, I still don't have the access to BIOS. It keeps showing the little white dash after pressing F3.
    I searched the forum and found the following helpful posts. Since I am able to log into Windows 8, I simply executed FLASHWIN64.BAT in CMD.

    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184427.msg1323582#msg1323582
    Now everything works again! I need to figure out why the SSD crashed and became unformatted, which triggered the nightmare.
     

  • MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

    Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
    So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
    What I have done to try to fix this:
    1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
    2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
    3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
    The specs:
    Board: MSI B75MA-P45
    Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
    VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
    PSU:  Corsair CX 500
    Intel Core i7-3770
    Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
    RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
    Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
    Seagate Barracuda 2TB
    Win 8
    So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
    I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
    Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
    Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.
