MSI R9 280X 3G Gaming artifacts and freezes

I just bought a 2 month old MSI R9 280X 3G Gaming card. After I installed the card my PC didn't POST, so I went into the bios and resetted everything to default. Then again my computer didn't POST. I checked the bios switch on the graphics card, it was set on position 2, I switched it to position 1 and my computer booted into Windows. I installed the catalyst drivers and started to play some games. It went quite bad, I had artifacts, game crashes and overall bad performance.
I read out the bios version on switch position 1 (the one that does work), this is ver. 015.040.000.000.003435. I flashed the bad bios version on switch 2 which was version 015.040.000.003.003435 with 015.040.000.000.003435.
After the flash I was able to boot windows on switch 2. Still I do have performance issues with games, like artifacts and game crashes.
My S/N is 602-V277-38SB1312093272.
Can you guys help me out with this?
Thanks in advance!

Alright, I tried to flash my bios to E7681.430 with the USB DOS tool available on this forum. After my computer booted the USB stick, I was prompted to do a memtest. It hanged, so I wasn't be able to memtest before flashing.
I download the last version of memtest86+ 5.01 and tried to memtest test 5 and 7 for 20 loops, it passed with 0 errors, so it seems my system is stable. Then I copied your provided BIOS to my USB stick and tried to flash it with M-flash in my current BIOS. M-flash wasn't able to recognize this file, so I won't be able to flash it.
So with not be able to pass memtest (only my own downloaded memtest86+ v5.01) from the MSI Bios Flash Dos tool and not be able to flash a new bios with M-flash. I'm not sure what to do next, I won't try the Windows flash option, because of this https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177335.0  topic.
On the other hand I looks like I need to update to version 4.3 for me being able to use the r9 280x card.
Can you give me any advice about what steps to take next? Thanks in advance.

  • MSI R9 270X 2G Gaming artifacts

    I have artifacts and random graphical glitches in games.
    These tend to occur after gaming for at least an hour.
    I believe I have the latest vbios (here is a rom pulled from the card via GPU-Z: mediafire (dot) com/?3cj808ylqdi11my) and have tried many drivers.
    I have included some screenshots below to give a quick look at the issue. I get the issue at R9 270 clock speed (900 core, 1400 mem)

    Registered after this thread came up with a google search as I have the same problem(Not so much the giant obvious ones, but the smaller group of clear boxes as seen in the second BF pic).
    I know it's a few weeks late, but try downclocking the memory to 1200 and check. I have the same issues and that eliminates it, and it seems quite common with this model of MSI cards. I think they had a bad batch of memory or just used old 7870s and overclocked the memory instead of using a quicker part. I would RMA it, but you may still get the same issue with an identical replacement.
    I tested 3dmark 11 for like an hour and anything over 1200-1250 memory(same memory speed as a many 7870s) causes issues.
    Yes with with other words all MSI r9 270x 2G are corrupted... so MSI need to give our money back or make a fix for us.. I have pay a lot of money for this card and send 3 RMA's and still get this issue with the new card....... The store don't want give my money back and said that i need contact MSI Well im reading this forum and see many people have the same issue!
    MY Power supply is 800WATT Enermax so thats not the problem of this issue..

  • MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB and GOP UEFI vBios Flash?

    I'm thinking about getting a MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB for my HTPC since it's kind of shorter and was wondering if MSI provides a GOP UEFI flash for it or if it's capable of doing so?
    Thank you.

    the card has 2 VBIOS's and some have one that is Legacy and another that is GOP already (others have a Legacy and a LN2) so its a 50/50 if it has it out the box!
    if it doesn't there will probably be one available as the Rx - 2xx have been around a while now!

  • 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 R9 270X 2G-BF4 Artifacts and Jitters

    Hi,
    I get intermittent artifacts with my new MSI R9 270X 2G BF4 card and I was wondering if there is a fix for this. Previously I had an ASUS 6950HD and never experienced this issue.
    After installing the video driver Catalyst 14.9 I get artifacts on desktop (2D) as well as in game (3D). To rectify the issue, I have to change the desktop resolution to a low resolution and then change it back to 1920x1200. After doing this, everything works fine. Sometimes restarting the PC also fixes the problem, although not very often. The artifacts happen on PC startup and is very intermittent. At times I don't see this problem for days.
    Images: ***https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=444CF70E90AF7D31!532&authkey=!AJlfvvR7mjnSfRo&ithint=folder%2c
    When installing the latest AMD driver Catalyst 14.12 the screen also jitters rapidly. Is there a fix to this or is it a faulty card?
    According to MSI Live Update 6.0 the installed VGA BIOS version is TV303MH.102

  • Graphic Artifacts and display freezing/blacking

    My 15inch MBP, purchased in July of 06, seems to be giving me major problems.
    I'm getting really odd graphics artifacts all the time. It can be as simple as a multicolor line in a window, on the desktop or through an icon. Othertimes its as major as an icon or section of a graphic showing up like its been scrambled and combined with really bright colors. Sometimes it looks like a triangle of a few pixels that have been stretched out.
    All of the issues are related to software, as I can make them go away by changing window size—and they only exist in the window or application. The heat coorelates to how severe the artifacts can get, if I'm about 60˚C I'll notice them more, so as a photographer I keep my fan running when I'm doing important work to avoid the crashes.
    And finally, the computer will crash with little explanation. Not like things timing out and I look mouse function, but things like the entire screen slowly being tinted green, or everything but the mouse seizes up(when this happens, my caps lock button still works, I can move the mouse just fine, but I can't click anything;commands don't work either.) The crashing can happen when I'm working in Photoshop(comp intensive) or if I only have Mail.app open and I happen to click on the finder icon too fast(very simple tasks).
    I have the funds to get this repaired, although I'm confident they will simply replace the logic board and that will not solve my issue—only temporarily put it off another few months.
    I'm waiting for the 10.5.2 update, hoping that will fix something. I have all other updates.
    Any suggestions?

    One thing to try would be to borrow an external display and see if the same artifacts occur on the external display. If so, you might have a graphics chip problem, either with the chip itself or with its attachment to the logic board. If the problem gets worse with heat, it may be that the ball grid array that holds the chip to the logic board is beginning to fail. It sounds like your software requires intense processor usage, which will generate more heat. As the heat builds, the failing ball grid array will work less well and you will get these visual artifacts and freezing and other symptoms.
    You might try one of the laptop coolers with fans to keep your Mac as cool as possible and see if this helps. The other thing to try is to reinstall the OS and see if that helps. If reinstalling the OS does not help, very likely you are dealing with some sort of hardware issue, and very likely they would want to replace the logic board.
    Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it happens to show anything?
    Good luck!

  • R9 280x TF GAMING: Sporadic black screen on boot and system resume

    Link to my full system specs
    ASRock Z97M OC Formula (running latest BIOS version)
    Acer B296CL Monitor over DisplayPort
    MSI R9 280x 3GB TF GAMING, vBIOS 015.042.000.000.003435, S/N 602-V277-250B1406048461
    AMD Catalyst Omega Driver: 14.501.1003.0 WHQL (latest non-beta driver)
    When booting my computer in UEFI mode, occasionally, my monitor does not wake from sleep and the screen remains black until Windows takes over and the login screen displays. This seems to usually occur after the computer has been powered off for more than 10 minutes. Sometimes this never happens, the screen remains black the whole time, and I need to hard reset. Sometimes it boots fine.
    This black screen / no signal issue also occurs far more frequently when attempting to resume from sleep. I strike a key on the keyboard or hit the power button while the computer is in sleep mode, the computer wakes up, but the monitor never turns on. This forces me to either hard shutdown or reset in order to restore graphics.
    In addition, I have a Razer keyboard that shuts off its backlight when the display is turned off, and it remains off when this problem occurs. This likely means that there is a problem with the card, drivers, or something else, rather than cabling. I might just RMA if we don't get anywhere here.
    Perhaps a good first step would be ensuring that my card is flashed with the latest vBIOS. Can you send a link to that?
    I'm also wondering if ULPS might be interfering, even though I am not in a CrossFireX setup.
    Other than this MAJOR issue, the card works fine when playing 3D games. Though, I had major issues with video artifacts when playing 2D games or doing anything else simple (web browsing, moving windows) because of the absolutely terrible decision to underclock the past couple generations of AMD cards so much that the GPU can't function. I solved this by modifying an OverDrive profile to raise the idle clock to 850 MHz, but not overclocking at all.
    Thank you.
    Meta discussion for the mods (feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss this further, in order to keep the discussion here on topic): sorry for not immediately opening up another forum topic when commenting on this issue. Every single other community that I've been a part of prefers to keep users with the same problem on the same thread. In my experience, mods yell at people for opening up duplicate bug reports and duplicate issues far more than they ask people to fragment information across multiple threads, therefore making it difficult to consolidate information.

    It could be a mobo issue, but all of the quirks seem to point to the card.
    I do not recall if I tested the card in another PC, but I no longer have a second desktop to test with.
    I do think I tested an NVIDIA card on a separate Windows install with this build though. No issues there if my memory serves correctly. I've been troubleshooting this issue for months, and I'm becoming tired of this stubborn problem, so the attempts at problem-solving are becoming blurred.
    vBIOS is attached.

  • MSI R9 280X Gaming Edition Overheating

    I have a pair of MSI 280X cards, one is rev 1.1 and the other rev 1.2 and I use these together for mining. I bought a third card as I was impressed with the thermal performance and noise of the cooler. The first one that arrived had artifacts so this was sent back to the e-tailor and a replacement sent out (both rev 1.2). This also had artifacts so was sent back again. A replacement was again sent out (a rev 1.1) but this time it doesn't artifact but just runs very hot. When gaming on my first two 280X's, they reached about 70C max when gaming (individually). This third card runs at about 85C and is considerably louder as a result. Mining is a complete no-go, the card almost instantly reaches 95C and the AMD drivers crash- presumably due to thermal throttling.
     I told the store I bought it from about this issue and they said I should send it back again. I have now received an email back saying that they could not find a fault with the card as it technically can game and mining isn't tested as it isn't strictly what the card was made to do. As a result, they are refusing to replace it and are sending it back to me. Do I have grounds for a replacement here under MSI warranty and should the store honour my right to a replacement? Whilst technically the card can play games which is why they are refusing to replace the card, the fact it runs so much hotter than my other identical cards and cannot even mine for more than about 5 seconds shows that clearly something is wrong with the card. What is the point of getting a card with a good cooler if 85C when gaming is deemed acceptable? Can someone from MSI please reply and perhaps help out my case with the store? I feel like I've basically paid a load of money for a card that is useless to me as I have an MSI 290 in my gaming computer anyhow.

    as you are in the EU system all warranty service should be done VIA the reseller you bought the card from!
    >>How to contact MSI.<< <--- follow that if you want to directly contact MSI!
    some samples of the R9-280x do run hot (some run at 75-80C max and others will hit closer 90-95C max and is just luck of the draw which set you have gotten) <--- they are lower Grade chips then Prior lines that they came from (HD 7970 chips where better Binned for heat output to be in a 5-10C range but R9 ones are not and may vary alot as a result in a 20C range)

  • MSI R9 280X - Severe artifacts

    Hello,
    I bought a R9 280X 3G BF4 some time back and I had some artifacts in crysis 3 so I dismissed it as a game specific issue.
    But, recently I got LOTR: Shadow of Mordor and the game displays some very serious artifacts making the game unplayable. The game works perfectly on my other PCs, so I used graphs from MSI AfterBurner & GPU-Z for troubleshooting and found out that the artifacts appear only when the VRAM usage crosses about 2GB.
    Its getting very frustrating as I am unable to use the full 3GB VRAM and even lower-end cards can run games better. Please help me in getting this issue resolved.
    note: I tried running the GPU in a different PC & I got the same issues.

  • [Request] MSI R9 280x Gaming OC Edition (Canada)

    Hello, I accidentally flashed a Sapphire BIOS onto my MSI 280x like an idiot and am scared I bricked it because now the driver is crashing and I'm getting artifacting. I also stupidly overwrote the original vBIOS with the sapphire so I beg of you to please help me out with my initial vbios. Card was bought with 15.40 on it, I tried flashing to another one linked here for : 602-v277-28SBxxx however my numbers at the end are different. If it's still crashing, does that mean it's bricked? Mine is: 912-V277-057
    Unfortunately I cannot upload the BIOS as it was overwritten by Sapphire BIOS! And I cannot find it anywhere else...looking for 28SB bios.
    Even though I tried naming sapphire bios like so: atiflash -s 0 sapphireoriginal.bin and : atiflash -s 0 original.bin it still overwrote the MSI original.bin! Gahhh.
    Any help appreciated! Thank you.

    What does that mean? what is your S/N?
    Mate, that is my serial number! 
    Just wanted to update that I flashed with legacy 304 that I found on these forums and all seems to be working great again. In fact, the temps are much lower, I'm assuming because the new bios fixed VRM overheating...used to run @ 80c now it barely hits 70.
    Great job MSI! I suggest others also update bios if temps are too high.
