It's totally easy and welll documented. You'll need the win98boot file to point the tool to or it can't create a dos boot stick.
flobelix can u tell me which version is my vbios?
MSI R9 270x Twin (BIOS 015.041) SN: 602-V303-03SB1310017043
I've flashed it already with 303MS.102 and still get Black Screen when installing drivers! Do you guys have any new info about it? I can't do anything with it.

Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II - Problem

Hey folks,
Im having a problem with my Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II video card.
I can't make it work with my monitor, all I get is "No signal detected"
I know the monitor is fine, because I used it as it worked all good when I plugged it into
my laptop. It's a BenQ G2222HDL monitor btw. It has one VGA (D-sub) and one Dvi-D input.
So i've tried all types of cables (VGA, Dvi-D and even Hdmi cables), and
still, can't get no signal. What can I possibly do to make things work?
Also, my computer acts a bit wierd when it's starting up. Usually, I would turn it on, then it would turn itself off really quick. Then I turn it on again,
and it goes just fine and runs smoothly. After I changed the position of some RAM modules
and such, it changed. Now when I turn it on, the fans spin for 1 and there's just a tiny bit of noise until
it turns itself off. Then I turn it on again, and it goes just fine with all fans and stuff spinning.
So, I really need some help!

Cpu - Intel i5 2500k, 3,3GHz, Socket LGA1155, 6MB with Noctua DH-14 CPU Cooler

Power Supply - Corsair HX Series 750 Watt Modular 80 plus silver (ATX 12v 63 amp)
Haven't got a chance to install os, but will install Windows 7 64Bit.
The monitor is a BenQ 21,5" LED G2222HDL (1920 x 1080, 5000000:1, 5ms, VGA/DVI-D)
More background info; I build the computer myself. Everything went mostly fine, except for that I had to spend quite a long time to get everything right.
I started the machine, and it all went just fine (except for rebooting and then running smoothly, as it has done ever since). I did the MemOK! test and everything seemed to be fine. But when using the VGA cable that came with the monitor, I couldn't get any signal detected (I used a VGA to DVI adapter to plug the VGA cable into the Msi 560 TI videocard). I used 2 different adapters, but nothing happened. I tried with a HDMI cable, just to test, and that did not work either. Then, I figured out I should order a DVI-D cable.
So I ordered the cable, and went on to plug it into my monitor and my video card, no adapters needed. Still, no signal at all! Tried a different monitor to check if it was the monitor's fault. Nope, still no signal. Frustrated, I used the VGA cable again and tried to plug the monitor into the laptop, which worked just fine. A clear, bright image appeared. But not with my desktop computer with the Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II. Nothing works when I plug in the cables etc. No signal at all, although the computer itself seems to run just fine with fans spinning up and the different components making noise etc. Thus, I figured out there probably was something wrong with my Msi Geforce GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II. Now I dont really know what to do.
Does anyone have an answer/advice/possible solution to my problem? I'm getting a tad frustrated now, seeing as I bought this computer 2 weeks ago and still haven't got to use it yet.

MSI R9 280X Twin Frozr Editon Problem can anyone shed light on it please?

Hi everyone i hope i am posting this in the right thread as i currently am in a bind.
My card has given me a white screen again, this makes it 2 times now this week and i am wondering what my options are here as i have no second card to use and cant be without my PC and be without gaming.
it happened when i closed down a game and once while alt tabbing a screen.
After a reset it is back to normal no white screen.
From what i can see it is not overheating the fans are turning it has been seated well and i have not over clocked it at all with the MSI gaming program and the driver are up to date.
What would you guys think is going on? do you think it is an RMA for me.
Thanks in advance for the help everyone.

If so, do you have instructions for flashing it?
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (102.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.102) on that stick.
Rename TV303MH.102 to 102.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive Svet provided on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 102.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

Trouble installing MSI R9 270x twin frozr

I recently purchased and installed the MSI Radeon r9 270x ( have 64 bit vista on an HP pavilion, intel quad core 2), and although I have video and can see/use my desktop and internet browser, the card does not appear to actually be detected or identified by the computer and the drivers do not appear to be installed correctly. I followed the rather rudimentary instructions provided in the "Quick User's guide" that came with the box, which basically explained that all I needed to do was to physically install the video card and then put in the accompanying CD and click on the 'install drivers' icon on the autorun menu. However, nothing happened. When I did first turn on the computer with the new card, I never really got a 'found new hardware' window. However, every time I restart the computer, a window pops up saying "Windows needs to install driver software for your video controller (VGA compatible)", and even though I click on "locate and install driver software" it always comes up when I start the computer.
So, I started installing the various software from the CD - actually when I click on "install VGA drivers" it automatically starts installing afterburner. Clicking on the icon at the top labeled 'driver', nothing happens (including the first time I tried using the CD). Since this didn't work I tried looking to the internet to see what was wrong, and it occurred to me that I hadn't uninstalled drivers for my ATI radeon 4350 which was stock. I found that to do that I needed to uninstall ATI catalyst from my program list, which I did, but that still didn't change anything. I ended up reinstalling it anyway from the CD (which I assume is a more recent version).
After installing afterburner, then I tried installing Live Update 5, which claimed it was going through and installing all the relevant drivers. After spending some time downloading and installing all these drivers, nothing had changed and PC games still won't work. If I open up device manager, no video card is listed under "sound, video, and game controllers" and under 'other devices', there is listed "PCI device" and "Video controller (VGA compatible)", and the details listed for each of these is "unknown". Also, under display settings, if I click on the adapter tab, the details/properties all say "unavailable".
I've clearly done something wrong, but I have no idea what, and the instructions that came with this thing have been effectively useless. I'm looking forward to some good help on this. Thanks.

on an HP pavilion, intel quad core 2
Be aware that this totally outdated machine might be not supporting latest generation vgas. It is already quite surprising that it actually shows an image and not a black screen as PCI-E Gen3 radeons usually don't work in PCI-E 1.1 slots. Still even a current machine usually requires a bios update for the latest vgas and your machine is surely far beyond any bios support. Furthermore a HP machine coming with a Radeon 4350 by default is surely using a cheap and low-wattage oem psu being insufficient for a R9 270X.
First check that psu. It needs to be at 24A on +12v and 500W minimum. If your pc is using a weaker psu there is no need about thinking how to get the R9 to work until you have a new psu.
If psu has been checked run >>Driver Fusion<< in safe mode and remove all current AMD drivers (freeware removal is enough). After reboot install the latest >>AMD Catalyst Display Driver<<. It might be needed to install >>Microsoft .NET4 Framework<< as well. Then retry.
If still no help try >>clearing cmos<< and retry. If that also fails you are most likely facing a compatibility issue.

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC Problems

Hey guys, I just build my second new(er) computer (specs below, system 2), with this MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC, and I am having several problems. The first problem I noticed was was in Starcraft 2, I was having major texture stretching (looked like units were stretched across the map, exc.), so I tried a new driver to no avail. I delt with that problem and played for several hours to find that the screen turned black, then recovered (happened several times), which I was able to continue playing after. I went ahead and tried Battlefield Bad Company 2, and noticed the same texture stretching, but with big black shapes (almost looked like large artifacts), so I checked the temps, 74c, so that was not the problem. I continued playing for about 5 minutes before the screen went black, turned white, and the game became unresponsive. Thinking it was a possible PSU problem, I moved the card to my first system (specs below, system 1), and produced the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas, or is it time to RMA the card. Sad thing is, I am seeing alot of people having problems with this card, I hope MSI didn't do me wrong here.... :(
P.s. I flashed the newest BIOS for the VGA and the MoBo.

Unfortunately it has, and the artifacting only seems to get worse as time goes on (if the card/game doesn't crash right away that is...). I guess RMA'ing is my only option at this point, thanks for your help.
I'll chock it up to a defective card this time, but seeing all the problems with these similar cards from MSI is making me worried... I only hope MSI didn't do me dirty with this product.
No worries, call msi at +1.626.271.1004 within regular business days and they will take care of it

Problems installing MSI GeForce GTX660 Twin Frozr OC video card

I recently built my first gaming computer and everything worked...... except installation of the MSI GeForce GTX660 Twin Frozr Gaming OC video card. I have an MSI Z87M Gaming motherboard and an Intel i5 4670K processor. Running Windows 7 Professional and 8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM. I've tested the card on an older machine with a first generation PCIe slot and it installed and worked fine. When I install it on my computer everything is fine until I turn the computer off and reboot, and then nothing comes up on the screen. Are there some BIOS settings I'm missing or some conflict I don't know about? - Kennard

Add card's S/N and a copy of the current vbios (save it to file, upload it to some filehoster and add link). Also list the bios version the board is at.

MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC: Graphical Glitches/Corruption

Hello, I bought and installed an MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC video card one week ago. For the last week, it has been running perfectly, but today when I started up a game the 3D graphics began glitching and showing random stretched triangles and distorted models. While the 3D graphics are running, the monitor randomly loses signal from the video card and occasionally the program will crash with a popup bubble stating that the NVIDIA driver has recovered from a problem.
After reading through some posts here, I downloaded the MSI Afterburner program, enabled voltage monitoring, and set everything to defaults.
The defaults are:
Core Voltage: 1000 mV
Core Clock : 880 MHz
Shader Clock : 1760 MHz
Memory Clock : 2100 MHz
When I click the button to run a Kombuster stability test, the 3D has the same graphical glitches that I saw in my games. Here is a screenshot:
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_880.jpg
I tried lowering the Core Clock speed and retrying the test. It appears that the level of corruption is proportional to the clock speed. At the minimum clock speed of 440 MHz, the graphics are almost perfect, however a glitch or two will still occasionally show up.
Here is the test at Core Clock = 705 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_705.jpg
and at 440 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_440.jpg
- I've tried bumping up the Core Voltage a little to around 1020 mV, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
- Lowering the Memory Clock also reduces glitches, but they never go away completely.
- Even at the absolute minimum clock settings, my games still glitch and crash.
- I do not have access to another system that I can try the video card in.

As I type this I'm starting to get corruption right on my desktop too, with random pixels changing color and black rectangles appearing on applications.
From what I've read in other threads, it seems like my power supply may not be sufficient since it has multiple 12V rails, but before I spend ~$100 on a new one I thought I'd see if anyone had any other thoughts.

Quote from: MP64 on 22-April-11, 03:46:20
I have an interesting update on my original problem.
A week after I reseated the card, the graphical glitches returned. I turned the computer off, reseated the card again, turned it on, and it began working fine.
Another week goes by with no problems, and then a couple days ago the glitches came back. Thinking it strange that the card could somehow take approximately the same amount of time to cause the same kind of bad connection, I wondered if there was something else that was causing the glitches to temporarily disappear.
I tried rebooting my computer, but the glitches remained.
I then completely turned off my computer and pulled out the power cord and left it for a couple minutes. I didn't open the case at all and made sure not to do anything that would bump any components. I turned the computer back on - glitches are gone once again.
So, it would seem that it may in fact have something to do with the power supply and not any bad connections with the card itself - at least, that's the best guess I have at the moment. I leave my computer on 24/7 so it seems like it doesn't like being left on for an entire week with this new video card installed.
Does this sound sensible? Is it possible for a power supply to slowly fail over several days, only to start working again after being powered down for a couple minutes?
Did you ever figure your issue out? I have the exact same issue. My system runs fine for almost a week...and then my desktop starts artifacting. The only way it goes away is to unplug my pc (or flip the switch on PSU). Then it runs again perfectly for nearly a week again and I start getting artifacts and the message stating that the graphics driver has stopped working and then recovered.
I also run my pc 24/7 and this problem is getting very annoying! My PSU shouldn't be a problem as I have the PC & Cooling 750W...
Oh...almost forgot. I've seen the same issue on 2 video cards now. RMA'd the first one and the second one does the exact same thing...

MSI GTX 560Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB GDDR5

Currently I'm experiencing a problem where no matter what I'm doing, whether it is gaming or browsing, green/orange chequered squares appear exactly as in the picture below:
The problem lasts for a matter of seconds and then windows informs me that the drivers have recovered from a failure. This is very remininsant, but not identical, to when I had a 9800GT that died. This issue has only started within the last month and the card is over 6 months old. Is this likely to be a GPU issue?

Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - OEM

Sadly I've no way of testing the card in another PC or a different PSU.
What is the likelihood that it is the PSU even though the card has been performing flawlessly for almost a year? Also I could understand if it was causing artifacts just when gaming due to power load, but it happened when I was merely surfing the net, where power draw doesn't even reach 300W.
Is a known solution to this issue an increase in Watts or is there a chance that it is a problem with the GPU?

MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr 2GB OC Bios question

I got the MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr OC 2gb version and would like to know how to verify if I have the newest bios for the gpu.
This is the newest version listed on the website : http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N770_TF_2GD5OC.html#download
And thats an ss from GPU-Z, cant find the exact bios version in that downloadable zip from msi website and i cant seem to find the date created for the bios I have on my card now.
Having some problems with gpu load drops and microstuttering, so wondering if a bios update might sort out my problems.

The vbios on MSI site is a different vbios series (NV282MS.331) and older than your current vbios. Your vbios (NV282MS.352) is dated 06/18/13 while the one from MSI site is dated 06/11/13. Both are legacy vbios versions (no GOP support). You can try the latest hybrid vbios (GOP support) which is NV282MH.351. It is attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II OC causes system to freeze

I'm having occassional freezes with my GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr OC (system completely stops responding while display and sound freeze and it takes around 5 seconds for the PC to respond to reset button ie. to reboot). This happens, for example, under Windows 7 in 3DMark11 Deep Sea Demo and in Windows XP randomly, but most often in web browser when watching Adobe Flash content with hardware acceleration enabled? Maybe BIOS update could help? Thank you in advance.
My system specs are as follows:
Intel i5 2500k
MSI P67A-C43 Rev1.0
EXCELERAM 2x2GB E30101B (XMP selected in BIOS - 1600MHz)
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II OC

OCZ Stealth Xstream OCZ500SXS 500W +12V1~18A +12V2~18A, +5V~30A, +3.3V~30A

This is strange! I've just discovered that if I turn off C6 state (it's no problem to leave c states enabled, only need to set c state limit to C2) the freeze issue is gone. I guess my i5 2500k doesn't like c6 state or there is some kind of incompatibility between Intel C states and Windows or MSI P67A-C43 is ready for another BIOS update after version 1.9. What do you think Svet? After some quick googling on this issue I found out that Nehalem CPUs had somewhat similar problem.

Msi gtx560-Ti Twin Frozr 3 Issues

Hi,
My friend just sold me is msi gtx560-ti Hawk one week ago.The issue is that when i play a games for exemple Payday 2,after 5 minute of gaming my pc does a random reboot.
Spec:
Motherboard: Gigabytes 970A-DS3P
CPU:AMD Fx-8350 Eight-Core
Video Card:Msi gtx560-Ti Twin Frozr 3 Hawk
PSU:RocketFish 550W
HDD:2011 Seagate Barracuda 1tb
On the video card there is 8 red del light up(Bad?) and in the pc of my friend they were blue.Is it a problem of PSU?
Edit 1:I googled on internet and find nothing helpful so i decided to post in on the ''official'' forum

The only thing that was in my pc before i sold it was my PSU.
I just received last week from Ncix my CPU,8gb RAM and the motherboard.
The video card specs recommend a 600W PSU,but before buying a 700W PSU (just to be sure) i wanted to know if its really the problem.
I read on some forum that the led shows the power charge.So logically if its all blue its fine and if its all red its not?
Edit 1:The PSU was working very well in my old Pc.
Motherboard:Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H
CPU:AMD Phenom II X
Video card:Sapphire Radeon HD 5850
Ram:4gb ddr2+
