MSI R7970 DDR5 3GB - Reddish/purple display

Hi everyone,
As the topic above, I'm currently faced with a reddish/purple hue display. I'm not too sure if it is root cause for it though.
The only thing for sure is that there are no problems with the monitor(test done) and the cause for this should either be hardware or software.
I'm going to take my PC apart to do a maintenance and see if it would help. In the mean time, could anyone advise on what may the problem be? Appreciate it.
PS: Weird. I can't seem to locate any file attachment button here even though it says so at the bottom to open up the radio drop down for attachments.
Cheers

Really need help with MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC:(

Greetings to all,
I really need help with my brand new MSI R7970-2PMD3GD5/OC. I've purchased it two days ago and I didn't really have time to test the card until yesterday. The card is I think way to hot for my "liking". It idles at 56c-60c, at full load in Heaven benchmark 3.0 in 1920x1080, extreme tessellation and 8xAA card reaches 95c-97c. Stock cloacks are 1010Mhz/1375Mhz and stock voltage is 1,174v. Case is being cooled by two Noctua NF-P12 fans. Also I tried lowering the voltage and "underclocking" the card to a standard 925Mhz in small increments, but it doesn't help at all. Each and every time it results in BSOD and dx dll errors and complete system failures. Replacing the card wouldn't be a problem if I lived in a "normal" country that has access to a steady supply. Retailer that sold me a card told me that only 5 cards total have been imported from the launch day and told me that i bought the "last" card in my country. They could order a replacement but it would take them more then a month to do so.:( Ohhh and one more thing I don't overclock, everything in my case is at their default values.
Recently, I read that "Amd released" a bios update for a standard reference boards that turns them into a "GHZ editions". Also lot of users report a lower voltage requirements and lower temps with that "boost bios". As I understand this card pcb is not Amd's reference board design, I could be wrong it's not that uncommon.. So I didn't want to risk warranty by flashing it to a position 1. Will MSI release the boost bios for this model of card? I am humbly asking MSI staff on how to proceed regarding this problem. I would be immensely grateful for any help you could provide.

what PC case you use exactly?
have you tried to open PC case side door and to retest?
Hi,
it's open case. If i close it the temps get even worse:(
They get better for other components, but not for gpu. Two Noctua NF-P12's are cooling the case, first one is positioned above gpu, left side next to cpu. Other is right beneath the gpu, right side of case. Just under the hdd section of the case. I tested each and every component with my backup card nv 8500gt. They function within the specified parameters. I'm getting somewhat worried.

Well, asking for a vbios it wasn't obvious that you are trying with Afterburner and didn't know even how to enable voltage control. You could have found out by reading sticky topics too:
>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<
Quote from: How to use MSI Afterburner
Overvolting with the overvolting slider will work the same way what means what you set will be added to the stock voltage. Note that overvolting gpu on Kepler (GTX600) is limited on non unlocked cards (Lightning/Hawk) to the nvidia max of 1.175v and setting anything else will therefor be useless.
If overvolting is greyed out and can't be changed you have to activate it in "Settings"/"General".
Simply check "Unlock voltage control" and "Unlock voltage monitoring"

MSI R7970 Lightning BE - OVERHEATING PROBLEM !!

Hi my name is Nick and I am from Greece and new in this forum . I recently bought an MSI Radeon 7970 Lightning BE from a reseller from ebay , the product came to me after 3 weeks and then I started testing,note that this card is used in a crossfire configuration , the second card is an ASUS HD 7970 DC2T , so I opened Furmark and I so that after 3 minutes that the Msi 7970 lightning was about 94 degress and the Asus hd 7970 was 74 degress and stable , I ran several tests because as I read on the Internet MSI doesn't recognise Furmark as a Benchmark Program , I used 3DMark 11 ,3DMark Vantage with no luck , always the MSI was overheating.
Then I read in this foum a guy with a similar problem with mine , and what he did was to reapply thermal paste and the problem was gone. I saw this and bought the best thermal best that I could found (GELID GC EXTREME) and today I reapplied it , unfortunately nothing changed , I ran 3DMark 11 ,furmark , Crysis 3 and now it showed me artifacts (MSI Video Card at stock clocks).
I don't know what to do I know that the warranty is no use anymore as I opened and remove the cooler but what else could I do .
My PC Specs :
CPU : Intel Core i7 2700K (Overclockred at 4,4 Ghz)
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA -Z68X - UD7 -B3
RAM : 32 GB ( 2 x 8 GB G.Skill ARES @ 1600 Mhz)
Case : Coolermaster HAF X (with 7 case fans - 3 Noctuas)
SSD : Intel 520 Series SSD 240 Gb
HDD : 2 x WD Caviar Black 2 TB
Sound Card : ASUS xonar Essence ST
CPU Cooler : Noctua NH-D14
VGA CARD 1 : MSI R7970 Lightning BE ( Stock Clocks : Core : 1150 Mhz , Memory : 1500 Mhz)
VGA CARD 2 : ASUS HD 7970 DC2T (Overclocked to reach the MSI , Core : 1125 Mhz , Memory : 1500 Mhz)
PSU : Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875 Watt (80+ Bronze)
Please someone help me I don't know what to do , please note that I have installed all the latest drivers (AMD Catalyst 13.4) and everything as fa as software I think is fine.

Case solved , I putted the ASUS 7970 DC2T in the top PCI Express x16_1 and the MSI R7970 Lightning BE at the bottom PCI Exprees x8_2 , I lost some perfromance (about 3 -5 fps) because of the bandwith , but now when I play crysis 3 the temperatures have a big improvement , the msi stays stable at 55 -58 degrees and the asus is 67 -70 degrees , about 10 degrees hotter (in a crossfire the top card heats more , thats true afterall) .
;-))To achieve this low temperature at msi 7970 I also set manual fan profile at msi afterburner at that's it ,also note that I have 2 noctuas 14 cm fans to blow fresh air in front of each card.

MSI R7970 Lightning BE // Underperforming

I recently bought an MSI R7970 Lightning BE for my new pc which is an Intel 3770k on a z77 Asus Sabertooth motherboard.. I'm using a 750watt power supply on a single 12v rail.. This card does high FPS but where it is failing me is mouse movement. If you walk back/fowards/left/right the gfx card is a champ, but if you're moving forward while moving the mouse everything stutters. I've tried MSI's drivers as well as newer non-msi drivers and they all pretty much yield the same result.. The major issue I have is the same issue persists on the lowest graphics settings 800x600 with all effects off or the highest graphics settings... What sort of stuff should I be looking for to rectify an issue like this? This is truly driving me mad having just spent $500 dollars on a video card, I am pretty sure this video card should be destroying graphics.

I've tried 5 different mice... razer naga(wired), old school dell usb mouse with ball(wired), logitech(wireless), wireless microsoft mouse 5000(wireless) x2. I have a logitech g600 coming in the mail in a few days and i've tried different keyboards.
I've tried the msi driver disc that came with the product, also the newest msi drivers posted online the msi website as well as different versions of catalyst v12 and different versions of catalyst versions 13: 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3. Some perform better than others but none perform optimally as they should. VSync helps with screen tearing but not the sort of issue i'm seeing.. I've tried LN1 bios switch and LN2 bios switch which dont yield much of a difference.. I will upload several videos with FRAPS if you would like.. It seems to capture the problem the best. I'm using a NZXT HALE82N 750 watt power supply and i've done mannnnnny fresh os installs and bios tweaks.. even switched mobos from sabertooth z77 to a p8z77 pro and back to a different z77 sabertooth board.. tried hz limiters and fps syncing software(dxtory, radeon pro, msi afterburner, ccc, trixxx, iTurbo). I dont think this card should perform this way with stock settings for mobo/proc/gpu.. Nobody would go through the hell i'm going through to get video games to play on this card. ;/ After 3 weeks of trying various options i've started trying benchmarking software like unigine heaven, kombustor, 3d mark 11, performance test and even furmark.. I can see the same issue in heaven/3dmark11 and as well as furmark. in furmark with the fan set nominal @ 100% the card goes to 98 degrees celcius in 20 seconds(is this normal?).. Games I see issues in is new Tombraider, Bioshock Infinite, Skyrim(this card should destroy) and BF3(this card is known to destroy). the issue doesn't exist if walking forwards, backwards or strafing left or right... it only shows up when walking forwards or backwards while strafing left or right while panning the camera with the mouse.. same issue on lowest graphical settings @ 800x600 or highest graphical settings in 1920x1080.
these youtube urls should be live in 2-3 hours:

MSI R7970 Lightning BE Flickering

I've been having some problems with screen flickering and the only way to fix this problem was to set the amount of idle clocks of the *GPU and Memory to the Max.
*MSI R7970 Lightning BE
*Bios 015.022.000.001.000000
*GPU Core Clock 1150 (always)
*GPU Memory Clock 1500 (always)
*Voltage 1.256
*Temperature 50°C Idle 77°C Load
*Fan Speed 50%
*Catalyst 13.2 Beta 5
Can I have some problem in the future with this change?
And I ask, is there any other way to fix this problem without having to change the clocks, maybe with some new Catalyst or GPU Bios?
Several people are having this same problem with this video card, this solution can help us, but I hope it can be fixed without any change in the clocks...

RafaelSct01:
YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH, i have the same everything you have as a video card.
i hope were not stuck and the new bios or Driver from Amd, and it will Fix it now.
......Please God let there be a FIX for our 7970BE and all 7970s

MSI r7970 lighting temps

Hello,
Just bought the MSI R7970 lightning. I have not overclocked it or any thing. I ran "Medal Of Honor Warfighter" on ultra and my temps were getting like 90 degrees. I setup a custom fan curve with afterburner. Is this normal for this card?
Thanks for the help.

Quote
ok, How would I check the bio to see if the bio is reading wrong?
You can't check if hardware readouts are correct. Besides there aren't any reaout problems known for that model. Test with MSI Afterburner and Kombustor (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) if temps would exceed 90°C and GPU thottles or shutdown.
Also with MSI Afterburner and it's OSD you can check if black screens or other ingame issues are related to overheating in that situation.

MSI R9 280x 3gb GAMES CRASH AND LINES DOWN MY SCREEN

I have been using the MSI r9 280x for sometime now, possible 7months and all has been good untill the other day; Playing CSGO My screen went to a set of lines running down and and a loop of the last noise I heard was playing over and over.
Only a hard restart of my PC would solve the issue; this occurred when also playing Wolfenstein: The New Order and Skyrim (tends to be high intensity games).
I have cleaned out my GPU, all of my fans, have tried to play these games on the older drivers and latest drivers and still the problem occurs.
It manages to last maybe 5minutes when I have my fans on 100%. I haven't overclocked or underclocked by GPU but still have the issue. I know it can possible be a GPU problem as I tested my GPU with furMark. As soon as I started a 1080p benchmark, my PC froze instantly and lines all down my screen again.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core 3.5
CPU Cooler: H100i Water Cooler
GPU: MSI Radeon r9 280x 3gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
PSU: Modular CX750M ATX Power Supply - Bronze
RAM: (4x2) 8GB Kingston 1333hz DDR3
PC Case: Corsair Air 540 (2 basic fans at the front, 120mm corsair at the back)
PLEASE PLEASE I really need help on this, thank you!

Thank you for the Advice.
I ran into a second problem this morning, when on start-up or even loading Google chrome, the same problem occurred with lines all down my screen yet again.
I am currently using my old GPU (Radeon HD 7770) and I am able to run CSGO; Wolfenstein etc on high intensity without my PC crashing or this problem occurring, leading me to believe that it must be my GPU.
My r9 280x runs at around 45C when idle, and sometimes that's even when my fans are running at 75-100% speed. Looking online I found that the Average Idle temp should be around 34C; something is wrong here :(
I'm not sure if there are any other measurements you need me to take to make sure that yes 100% it is my GPU. But looking at it how it is, unfortunately it is.
Any more ideas, suggestions would be really helpful thank you!

MSI 648 MAX + 3Gb Memory

Hi,
I have put three GB of RAM in a PC containing a MSI 648 Max motherboard.
The memory is 3 * PC2100 1GB of Samsung 266 DDR RAM. I've ran memtest
(http://www.memtest86.com) to test the chips to test the chips individually
and in blocks of two. The machine runs fine with up to 2GB, but fails
when all three are in.
I have two identical machines (and two sets of 3GB RAM), which exhibit the
same problem, memtest failing at the same time.
The machines run P4 2.4Ghz processors.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance

MSI R7970 problems

Hi guys, i recently purchased an R7970 and i cannot flash the bios, back up the bios or have programs like MSI live update recognise the card. It says its for MSI products only which it is lol
The card itself works fine and MSI afterburner and GPUz recognise it.
Any ideas cause i was hoping to flash the Ghz bios onto it

Yep, that's what I thought. The card has a AMD reference bios therefor it is not recognized by MSI live update. A MSI bios would list "MSI (1462)" for subvendor.
Like with most reference design cards brands like MSI, Gigabyte and so on just buy the already manufactured card, put a sticker on it and sell it in a brand boxing with their accessory/software. They will not even flash a custom bios. That is very normal and no issue, just the reason why it is not recognized by software like Live Update (which is crap anyway).
You can still download and use the drivers and the card is of course covered by MSI warranty.
Custom designs like Lightning manufactured by MSI have a real MSI bios.
