Msi nx6800gt and MSI kt4v

My MSI nx6800 gt will not work in my MSI KT4V motherboard.
I install it and when i boot up all i see is a jumbled mess of colors when it`s trying to post.
Are they not compatible?
The MSI KT4V is supposed to have an 8x AGP slot.
Is it maybe the VIA drivers. I`m running 4-in-1 ver 451v
What`s up?
Why won`t it work?

What chipset drivers are you running ?
I`ve tried different versions of Via 4-1 and still card won`t work.
I`m running Enermax 460 watt PS so power is not an issue.
I`ve read in some of the forums about bad cards.
I`m wondering if i got one ?
You would think support would have more info if this was a
common problem

  • No MSI info and MSI clock speed flags in display properties

    My problem is really curious. Several days ago I bought new harddrive and made clear instalation of Win98 SE. After that I installed VIA 4 in 1, on-board audio drivers, the new DirectX and then DetonatorXP drivers for my G4 Ti 4600. My problem is that in display properties I miss two flags descrabing my nVidia card - MSI information and MSI clock. System has detected card correctly. In advanced display properties I can adjust OpenGL and Direct 3D settings, AA settings, etc.
    My system is stable in every game and benchmarks, so it means that card works correctly. Powerstrip detects core and memory speeds correctly, under adapter options in this program I see 128 MB video memory, AGP 4x enabled, fastwrites enabled - everything is correct.
    But in display properties I do not see MSI information and MSI clock speed flags. Why ??? I have also reinstalled VIA 4 in 1 and Detonator XP drivers - it did not help.
    Before byuing my new harddrive (80 GB Seagate,7200rpm) I had 30 GB IBM,5400rpm. Windows 98 SE installed on this harddrive detects card correctly too including MSI information and MSI clock speed flags. Now I miss it. Any idea ???
    On both harddrives I have installed DetonatorXP 29.42 then I have updated to 30.82
    My system:
    MSI K7T Turbo 6330 3.0
    1,33 GHz Athlon T-bird
    512 MBRAM
    G4 Ti 4600
    80 GB Seagate BarracudaIV 7200rpm
    Win98 SE

    I installed the MSI Drivers from the MSI cd. All ok but the clock and info tabs were missing. I upgraded the driver from msi site to 3000 and no tabs.
     X(  
    Before the GF4 i had a gf2 and i realized i forgot to uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing the new card's drivers. I uninstalled them and reinstalled the msi driver 3000. But no clock nor info tabs.
    Can someone help me? Are those tabs needed?
    I'm using xp pro, intel p4 1.8 on motherboard intel d850md, 1gb ram.
    Also the 3d turbo experience gives me msivga.ocx initialization error.
    Thanxs.

  • Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

    I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
                  MSI Geforce 4 - 420
                  Celeron 1.7 gig
                  Soundblaster Live
                  2 Network Cards
                  and the usual stuff.
    I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen.  Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

    My system sometime freezes. Why ???

  • Cannot open msi clock and msi info

    hi i am having some small problems with my
    mx440-td8x.. when i open the properties for the card i cant open the options msi information and the msi clock. it says: error when the file f:´WINNITsystem32desk.cpl for the controlpanel was opening. what shal i do to fix it?

    Guys,
    You could go get the latest nVidia Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website.  Then you can delete the file msicpl.dll from your Windows directory.
    For the extra features:
    Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
    Quote
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
    "Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
    "NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
    Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
    That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • MSI Ti4800SE and MSI KT4V motherboard incompatible?

    Yesterday I bought an MSI Ti4800SE to replace a GeForce2. It booted up fine and Windows detected it and installed the drivers. However, on rebooting, the monitor went blank and there was a series of beeps.
    The computer would not start. I tried taking out all the other cards and tried the video card in 2 other computers but all I got was the beeps. I took the card back and got a refund as they had no more in stock.
    Is the video card incompatible with the motherboard for some reason? Did I somehow cause the card to die? Should I buy another or will the same thing happen again?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    My system is
    MSI KT4V motherboard
    Athlon 2500
    512Mb Kingston RAM
    SB Live
    Network card
    56k Modem
    2 hard drives
    DVD ROM
    Mitsumi CD writer
    350W PSU
    Windows 98SE
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks very much for your advice - looks like I need to spend yet more money then!
    But do you think I damaged the card by not supplying enough current, bearing in mind that it booted OK the first time? Or was it not damaged at all?

  • I have MSI motherboard and MSI GE2Ti 64MB and can\'t get over 30 fps

    I am addicted to playing CS, I used to have a PIII 866 motherboard that crashed.  I bought a MSI motherboard with a Celeron 1.7 and I have a MSI Ge2Ti 64MB DDR video card.  I used to have over 70 fps when playing in the old days, however with this new motherboard I cant get over 30 fps.  I thought that my video card was the culprit and I bought a new ATI Radeon 9000 with 128 MB DDR.  After installing it, I still have less than 30 fps  ?(   ;(
    Before I purchased the Radeon, I tried tweaking the videocard with the rivatuner, but I had no great success.
    The motherboard has a built-in video, can it be conflicting with the AGP card?
    My motherboard is a MS-6524 and my video card is a MSI Ge2-Ti model 8855
    Any help is appreciated!

    Running a P4 (or celeron4) with SDR memory results in very poor preformance, it's basicly ment for office/internet use.
    That I would expect is a big part of the slowness, in fact a celeron 1.7 with SDR could very well be slower than the PIII 866 in many aspects.
    Remember the P4 1.5 wuth RDRAM using the i850 chipset was barely any faster than the PIII 1.0GHz at the time it was released!
    It might be a little late now, but if you need to keep your RAM the only CPUs today that could get something out of SDR are the AthlonXP's and PIII/Celeron socket370.
    And AthlonXP 1800+ costs about the same as the celeron 1700 you have and a basic board with SiS735 or VIA KT133A chipset will cost about the same.

  • MSI GX701 and MSI L735 case compatibility

    Greetings.
    The story goes like this: I have a MSI GX701 laptop, and the case has cracked around the hinge, so it needs replacing. The only case I could find was one from the L735 model and luckily, they look very similar in pictures, but I'd like to know from someone who knows better if they're compatible (I only need the "top part" of the case, as the plastic damage only affects the superior case). Also, is the case replacing a very hard and dangerous process, or is it fairly simple ?
    Thanks!

    Codegen don't perform as well as you might think. The info I ask for should be on a sticker on the PSU, inside the case. But I'll help you, since I've been there before.
    As you see below, there is not much room for a Radeon9800:
    "Codegen 400W Pentium 4 ATX Switching Dual Fan Power Supply, Retail Package
    Output:400W
    +3.3V -> 14A Orange
    +5.0V -> 30A Red
    +12V -> 12A Yellow
    +5VSB -> 2A Purple
    -5V -> 0.5A White
    -12V -> 0.8A Blue "

  • MSI U8668 and MSI GeForce4 MX440

    I have a Systemax Venture computer.  It is brand new, 2.4GHZ, 512 Meg DDR.
    The motherboard is a MSI Biostar U8668 Motherboard.
    It has a built in 32MEg 3D SavageDDR video controller.
    I purchased a brand new MSI Mx440 8X (128MEG DDR, 8x AGP) video card.
    I am using FreshDiagnose to check my computer performace.  Before  the new card, I get about 633 Video Performance.  After the MSi GeFroce card, I get 533.  I have tried new drivers and such, to only worsen the results.  I have tried the card in another machine, and it performs worse than a Diamond Stealth 64 card.  This card has 128MEG DDR ram onboard.
    I am completely stuck.  I paid good money for this card, and want it to outperform any other card I have!!
    Does anyone else have any ideas, or has anyone had this problem>  What should be the driver revison # for the Video card, the Motherboard?
    Also, whatd the best Video performance benchmark to test with and get the best results??
    This is my last effort to try befor obtaining an RMA, but would like to solve the problem ASAP!
    Thanks!
    Neil Hicks

    Biostar ( http://www.biostar.com.tw ) is not related to MSI.
    This board uses a VIA P4X266 chipset, did you install the VIA 4in1 drivers?
    How many points do you get in 3DMark 2001 (not 2003) ?
    I downloaded FreshDiagnose and it's benchmarks are all 2D acceleration (simple draw operation, text, moving bitmaps, drawing circles and lines...)
    These are all legacy features and not executed in the 3D core of the VGA card.
    If you want to run Doom(1) at 300FPS you would care about this, but it has nothing to do with D3D or openGL preformance.

  • MSI graphics cards and MSI motherboards

    Do MSI "tend" to match their graphics cards with their motherboards? .... would I benefit from matching an MSI graphics card with my K8T Neo2 motherboard?
    JLP

    Noooooooo, not at all.
    I have some K8N neo2 platinum combined with an msi nx6800gt and although
    i'm very happy with game performance, there are times i would expect more.
    My GT has lots of problems when not running at stock.
    Even at 365/1050 there is some stuttering (rarely, and for about 2 seconds) but
    still, there is.
    It could as well have been any other brand.
    And i bet it could have been a better o/cer.
    The only thing i HIGHLY recommend msi gards, is their EXCELLENT bundle.
    Mine came with 15 cds(!!!) :  DOOM 3, XIII, URU, Prince of Persia and many more.

  • MX440 problem and MSI support

    I am experiencing problems with a new MX440 and cannot resolve it.   I attempted to submit a request via the MSI website, but it never returns a response once the information is submitted.  I sent an email to the support account - no response.  I posted in another thread where other people experienced a similar problem (MSI Clock).  The only resolution (in that thread) was to install Win98.  
    What do I do?  I think my only option is to return the card and NEVER buy another MSI product for myself or a customer.   Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Problems:
    1. Most games will not play properly, or will only play for a few minutes.  Including the games provided with the card.  "No One Lives Forever" flickers really bad and locks up (or blue screens).  Similar behavior with Giants, Diablo II, et al.
    2. The "MS Information" and "MSI Clock" Display Properties crash the control panel application with the following error:  "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel File c:\winnt\system32\desk.cpl".  I am not able to view or modify these settings.
    3. Live Update Fails with a VBIOS.DLL failure.
    4. 3D Turbo crashes the IE 5.5 window when started.
    I upgraded the bios on both the MB and video card. I installed the latest drivers for the video card.  I've tried every combination of scan rate, screen resolution and 16/32 bit.  I prayed.
    It's only the 3d apps or apps that are video intensive that have a problem.   All other applications work great.

    Hi ,
    It seems I have the same problem than you; in addition I also have a ASUS P4S333 motherboard; running XP Pro.
    Well my problem is really with 3D games, all of them, even those distributed with the graphic card. I am trying to get help from MSI and ASUS on that problem; before going back to the shop for getting a replacement card to test it will change something or getting a new card.
    what I have tried is NOT installing MSI drivers since it adds some option in the display menu and constantly crash it when they are selected (MSI info and MSI clock)., got driver directly from MSI from 27.xx to 30.xx, try them all with "no one lives forever" and Medal of Honor with always the same results....freezing screen after 5-30 minutes of games.
    I was wondering of a fan problem, that the GPU will get too hot , and you will get the typical freezing bug; however, if the image remains frozen (almost, because it is still working, but it is really slowwwwwwwwwww.), the sound is still playing properly, so the CPU is OK; it seems to be hardware GPU problem....
    Did you solve your problem??
    if yes what was the solution
    Thanks in advance for your answer

  • P35 Platinum and MSI 8600 GT problem

    I have a problem with the computer locking up. It will do it on certain web sites, clicking around in Media player and other programs. I tried everything I could think of. Finally I Got an 8400 video card locally and everything is fine. My question is, since the 8600 GT gets all of it's power from the PCIE slot could it be a voltage problem? If so, I see no way of increasing the PCIE voltage in the bios for this MB.
    Any ideas before I send this card back?
    Thanks,

    It locked up with default bios settings and no overclocking. I didn't overclock the video card at all. I tried everything. Since I put in a temporary 8400GTS I have the processor overclocked to 3.3gig and everything is fine. Could the 8400 need less power than the 8600GT and if so is there a way to increase the voltage on the 16X PCIE slot? This is a MSI MB and MSI Video card so I would expect them to work together.

  • 5700 Ultra 3 - No ' msi clock' or ' msi info' tabs???

    I have an FX5700 Ultra card from MSI with the original drivers that were supplied with it installed. Prob is that i used to have the 'MSI clock' and 'MSI information' tabs under display settings, and now they are gone?? I upgraded the nvidia drivers to Forceware drivers and all was fine, but then accidentally set the refresh rates for the adapter and monitor too high. I had to reboot in VGA mode, uninstall the drivers and reinstall the original supplied drivers on the MSI CD. Since then i have no MSI tabs under display settings?? Any suggestions?

    man, if u wanna see the clock of the card, get a utilitary like rivatuner. it has a regfile which displays the clock . if u wanna see the clock displayed by msi and DOT, go to msi hp and get the latest driver from it. i recommend u to use http://www.nvidia.com latest drivers and use a utilitary to display your vga card clock.

  • Getting a replacement fan & heatsink module for my MSI NX6800GT (agp)

    Hi all,
    I got a bit of a problem, the fan on my MSI NX6800GT (agp) sounds like a dog, after removing the card and having a look, it appears that the spindle that holds the fan in place has worn out (the fan seems to drop down onto the plastic and thats what is making the noise) . Its buggered basically. Do any of you fine people know of where I can get a decent replacement fan and heatsink?
    All help appreciated
    John

    OK, I ordered one of those  nv silencers, I thought about contacting MSI like you guys said but after reading about this product I thought what the hell . . . £20 but worth it.
    http://www.gladiatorcomputers.com/ProductDetail.aspx?StockCode=ACCARTREV4NVS53&Link=SearchResults
    It came yesterday, so last night I installed it, fitted well, one small thing on the instructions, there is an "L" shaped metal bracket called a passive heatsink plate, now I know my **** from my elbow but could I work out where this was supposed to go? . . . NO.
    Anyway it appears that I dont need this bit, why cant they just say "this bit is optional". Kinda scary fitting stuff like this when youre as green as me.
    Anyway, all went well. Thank you all.
    Regards

    - Different monitor (CRT) which still exhibits the white screen phenenoma with 2 cards in Sli
    - Checked the m/b BIOS and as far as I can see have all the correct SLi settings selected..
    - Tried to use 'RefreshForce' utility to set the frequency at 60hz in the mistaken belief that might solve the 'signal out of range' problem.
    - Made sure the m/b itself has the 'EZ selector card' (as they call it) correctly positioned for 'Dual Video Cards' and the Sli Connector properly attached to the 'goldfingers' on the cards...
    Thought it was the new tft/lcd monitor at first but having tried with my old crt and using RefreshForce with the same results i'm beginning to doubt it...
    The only thing that's odd that I can tell at the moment is that althought the 2 cards are 'identical', one of the cards has a little green led on permanently close to the power in - the other one doesnt have this light and I cant find any reference to it in documentation.....as i said earlier though, they both 'appear' to work fine individually, just when trying to get em going in Sli....
    If anyones got any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them

    SAB,
    I tried exactly what u said from a clean install with no luck :(
    1) SLi card on m/b turned to 'single card'
    2) DirectX 9.0(c) installed
    3) Video Drivers from CD installed
    4) Forceware 66.93 installed
    All absolutely fine at this point, no conflicts, errors or uninstalled devices.
    5) Switched off comp, turned SLi card to 'dual cards'
    6) Installed second card and the SLi connector to the goldfingers
    7) Checked BIOS settings for SLi
    8) Plugged in "EZ-Plug" on m/b
    9) restarted comp upon which win2k detects 2nd vid card and installs drivers for it.
    At this point the 2nd card shows in device manager with a yellow exclamation and the comp wants to reboot to finish driver installation..
    If i click 'restart later' and go into nview configs to set SLi mode, the SLi feature only says somehting like...."You have an SLi compatible card, to get the benfit of SLi please install another card"....there is no chance at this point to actually select SLi - presumably beacuse driver installation needs completing for the 2nd card??
    So, now there's no choice but to restart...but when I do that, the display is fine through Boot sequence until it tries to switch from the 'graphica'l win2k loading screen (with the blue loading bar at the bottom) to the 'desktop / login' loading screen..
    At that point, as always, the screen flickers and on TFT's u get a brief message saying "Signal out of Range - 96-105KHz" (i think!) before the screen just turns completely white and u cant see anything else....
    After this i can only enter windows through safe or vga mode and when I do, the 2 vid cards appear to be installed perfectly.. In safe mode there's no nview or options to set SLi mode and restarting only gives the same 'signal out of range' message :(
    At this stage the only way to get a visible non-white display back is to disable the 2nd gfx card in device manager whilst in safe mode and restart with just the primary card  enabled :(
    So, I'm still confused as to why the addition of the second card should alter the frequency(?) of the first card so as to screw the display when it works fine in single card mode..
    I've tried this procedure using both cards as the 'primary' card still with the same results...frustrating!
