I've just upgraded my computer with buying a new GFX card (R6870) new ram (DDR3 1600mhz) and a new motherboard (asrock p43de3)
Everything is working when powering on, there is no signal to the monitor however.
Tried already:
Checked all cables. Using 1x 6pin connector in both spots on the gfx card.
Tried with a backup GFX card, ati radeon 19xx and it worked perfectly, so it's not the motherboard.
I just tried putting in a chassis speaker and i get 2 very fast beeps, pause 8 fast beeps, pause, 1 beep.
I have tried with minimal hardware connected (No hd's, 1 ramblock, no cd drive, fans etc)
It shouldnt be the power supply, my old card (Inno3d geforce 8800 GTS used around the same amount of power according to specifications)
I havent got a newer computer to try the GFX card in, is it even compatible with my asrock motherboard? (I know it should be due to it having pci express 2.1)
Is the GFX card DOA?
Help much appreciated, been struggeling for +10 hours now..
Thanks in advance

In theory, yes, the P43-C51 should support the R6870, since it has a v2.0 slot (problems have been mostly with the v1.x slots). That's something you'd have to test though, to find out for certain.
I don't work for MSI btw, if that's what you thought.

  • MSI R6870 Hawk (p) Fans stopped spinning

    Hi there
    i Have a MSI R6870 Hawk graphics card and havent really had any trouble until two days ago, when i noticed my fans had stopped.
    I do have MSI Afterburner and the newest driver (and tried to reinstall both)
    i've had a look at the card and tried fiddling with the fans without any luck.
    Sometimes they move a littlebit and yesterday i got them to run for a couple of hours (without actually doing anything as far as i know)
    do you know what i should do to make them run proper again?
    br Bugge

    Looks like they died what can happen. If still under warranty rma the card to fix that or use an aftermarket cooler like Accelero Twin Turbo II

  • MSI R6870 Hawk graphics issues

    Hello, I built my new computer a couple of days ago, with a MSI R6870 Hawk in it.
    Two days ago I played Left 4 Dead 2 with the highest settings (something I would never have dared to do before) and the computer didn't even flinch, I was amazed. However, since yesterday I noticed some very annoying checkerboard-like artifacts flickering at first in TF2. At first I thought it was because TF2 files were corrupt or what have you, but whatever I did, these artifacts wouldn't disappear, and have now spread across various other games. Links to screenshots below, however they do not show the full flickering.

    Of course, the newest drivers are installed and everything. Checked with MSI Afterburner and GPU-Z, and temperatures are around 50-55 °C for all sensors after one hour of gaming, so I don't think it's overheating. No improvement after reinstalling the drivers.
    Any help?
    Other info about the system: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Intel i5-2500k, Asus P8P67, 8GB RAM, etc.

    You got me wrong, respectively I left out a step in my logic. I could find out what's wrong with it on my own and I would find the cause, fair enough, and I didn't rule out that I wouldn't do it. What I meant was that in case it turned out to that the clocks were too high in its out-of-the-box state, I would not be satisfied with the product, considering that I would have dished out the money for this card only to have it clocked down. That's what I meant with counterproductive. Yeah, probably the wrong word indeed but you get the message.

    Imac (intel) will boot but nothing will open.

    Amazingly ..... I solved the problem by taking the batteries out of the wireless mouse.
    The mouse seemed to work.  The curser would move around and the dock would pop up, but nothing would open.

  • My iMac will boot, but loses contact with BlueTooth

    My iMac will boot, but loses contact with Bluetooth after logging in, and then there is no way to interact with the system.  I can only shut it down.  Any help in resolving this issue will really be appreciated.
    Thanks -

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Msi Gtx 680 Twin Frozr, cold boot noise

    So about 3 out of every 10 times I turn on my computer, it sounds like one of the fans running at full speed or something, it's very loud.
    I dont know what it is . Its like rattling noises, grinding noise only on cold boot. When Windows start then all is quiet. I think its from graphic card.
    Sometimes all is quiet when i boot pc, sometimes not. Its very rarely , and only when i booting pc and when windows start all is quiet.

    Quote from: xmad on 16-October-12, 23:01:43
    Perhaps some clarification is in order.
    Is the fan spinning at full speed sometimes or making funny noises like the fan isn't spinning correctly.
    You have two entirely different discriptions going on here. Running a full speed is one thing, grinding or vibration noises are another.
    While it is working correctly use afterburner to increase the fan speed to 100%, there shouldn't be any rattling or grinding or anything. Same thing at start-up, they may goto 100% in reverse to clear dust, but they shouldn't grind or rattle.
    You say: "Same thing at start-up, they may goto 100% in reverse to clear dust, but they shouldn't grind or rattle."
    But Msi Gtx 680 Twin Frozr III dont have that feature.   <--- I have that card.        Only Gtx 680 Lighting got it.

  • Mac Pro will boot but won't restart.

    When waking up or doing a soft boot my Mac Pro will chime and sound like it's booting but the display will never come on.
    If I do a cold boot, or even hold down the power button to force it off and then boot it's fine. I've tried turning on and off and plugging and unplugging the monitor. I've repaired permissions and reset the SMC and PRAM. It's been happening for a while, but now I want to install MacFUSE and it requires a restart to finish installing.

    Which model Mac Pro? GHz?
    How much RAM?
    What display card? What display?
    What USB devices (these have a strong reputation for interfering with sleep)
    What FireWire devices?
    Have you run the diagnostic on the Installer DVD to rule out Hardware problems? Instructions are on the face of the DVD.

  • A505-S6980 will boot but not go to Windows 7

    Hi --
    I bought a new Toshiba laptop and gave my previous laptop (A505-S6980) to one of my high school students who could not afford one.  He has to do an online course that must be finished by May 27th, in order to graduate.  It was working fine but now has an issue.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem:
    1.  The A505 will boot.  Shows Toshiba logo screen with options to press F2 (setup) and F12 (boot).
    2.  It will then go to "Starting Windows 7" screen, and white bar shows loading.
    3.  After that, it will go to next screen that shows Microsoft logo at bottom, along with a black/green loading bar.  Green "blip" glides back and forth as if loading.
    4.  The next screen is completely blank, with a cursor blinking at the top.  It will also show the pointer.  That's as far as it goes.  The processor light and the sound it makes both appear to be repititive, as if the processor is caught in a loop.
    Please Help!  The computer is only a little over a year old.  This kid is trying so hard to make his graduation happen, and he has no computer at home.  He's using it on weekends and in the evenings to do the online thing, and goes to Starbucks and other "hot spots" to get online.
    Thanks!  Tere

    If you're determined to try to resurrect this installation of Windows, download a disc that enables you to reach the Windows Recovery Enironment.
       Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs
    You need the 64-bit one.
    Note that you should have burned this disc from Windows 7. If you have access to another computer with 64-bit Windows 7, you can make it this way.

    On some of my other machines I always have the boot to cd-,as first and then h.d. as one of the last,but i've never had to go back in bios to change to h.d.  as the first.Is there any reason for this?
    One other thing,it seems that the boot process takes longer than i normally wait on,on other machines,is this anything to be concerned with?
    Once again,thank you for your knowledge and help.
    "One other thing,it seems that the boot process takes longer than i normally wait on,on other machines,is this anything to be concerned with?"
    perhaps no, can be just slow initialisation(enable "quick boot", disable floppy drive seek to speedup boot time a bit.
    "On some of my other machines I always have the boot to cd-,as first and then h.d. as one of the last,but i've never had to go back in bios to change to h.d.  as the first.Is there any reason for this?"
    well if the CD are blank or CD in drive is not bootable, boot process will continue with 2nd assigned boot device.(probably you don't have hdd configured as 2nd boot choice)(try to boot from other device should be enabled from BIOS as well). also if there is no respond(no user action taken due few seconds) at "press any key to boot from CD" boot from CD will be skipped automatically and boot process will be forwarded to second boot selection..

  • MSI X99S SLI PLUS and XP941 - Booting, but very erratic behavior

    I finally got my XP941 to boot in my X99S SLI PLUS using the beta BIOS. I Still can't see it listed as a drive in the system settings, but Windows 8 install sees it just fine, and I can see the "Windows Boot Manager" option available to boot from. Windows is booting just fine now, however it will  freeze up for about 3 seconds about every 10 seconds. I used CrystalDiskMark and found that speeds were over 1000MB as expected for sequential reads, but 4KQD32 reads were absolutely abysmal. I can't remember the exact number, but it was around .012 I've seen other reviews of the XP941 showing much higher speeds than this. I think the slow random read performance is causing the machine to lockup and have erratic behavior.
    Does anybody have any ideas? or can anyone confirm that their SLI Plus is running this m.2 ssd just fine?
    Another note is that I am only using 1 4GB Single Dimm of memory until my real memory kit arrives. Would running just a single dimm cause this?

    Quote from: Smalto on 04-October-14, 19:19:01
    Hello cbutters, I have the same configuration and I cannot manage to have the XP941 working (MZHPU256HCGL-00000).
    The win8.1 setup does see it but after copying the files and rebooting it won't start.
    What bios version do you use ? Can you indicate the specific settings you modified in the bios to have it working ?
    thanks
    Using BIOS 136 from here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183560.0
    Using default BIOS settings to start from, then enabling windows 8/8.1 features and changing it to M.2 PCIe. I didn't touch the SATA Config after loading defaults. (I don't have any memory remapping settings available to me either).
    Keep in mind that the device won't show up as a sata device, so don't even bother looking for it. You just have to start installing windows and trust that it will show up....  make sure after initially installing windows 8.1 and first reboot that your first boot option is "Windows Boot Manager". The install was really quick. See my youtube video here:

  • I have an ibook g4 that boots to blue screen and hangs. Safe mode will boot but hangs after log in. I have reset PRAM, NVRAM, and the PMU. Booted from Diskwarrior and rebuilt and tested the HD, working properly.  Boot from Tiger dvd shows images? no text

    The tiger install dvd boots only to show an image of what looks to be two steps, not sure what its showing me.. possibly inserting RAM?  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    Could you get a picture of the screen, load that into your working computer,
    and post it into a reply here? There are a few kinds of situations where a
    similiar display of that sort may appear.
    Given the G4 iBook PPC (which model) is a bit dated now, one has to
    assume you have the original 'install-restore' DVD it came with, new.
    What was or wasn't it doing, before you chose to try to boot Tiger DVD?
    Do you have a second Mac, one w/ FireWire ports; maybe Thunderbolt?
    It may be possible to further look into the ailing iBook G4 via FireWire
    from a second Mac, and attempt to investigate, or save old data to some
    external drive, USB Flash; in case you need to totally wipe the HDD.
    An image of the iBook screen may be helpful. Someone else with recent
    troubleshooting or extensive use of iBook portables (or other OS X issue)
    that presents such a screen instead of a normal progress screen, may
    have an immediate idea. Without an image, I am not venturing a guess.
    What key did you hold down while trying to boot the computer from DVD?
    One set of keys can get you a Startup Manager. Among other options.

    Two ways of reaching the data if your hard drive is alive.
    (1) Download and burn an Ubuntu live CD, boot that, and transfer the files to an external medium. There's also KNOPPIX, Bart's, UBCD4Win, SystemRescueCd, and probably others.
    (2) Remove the hard drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and access it from another computer.
