all I ever read about is problems with there,s card how do i rmi

All you're giving now is just a BIOS version which is not bios itself.
On the "BIOS Version" (in line with this) can you see little icon?
Have a look here at Step 1: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/guide-for-flashing-bios-of-nvidia-gpu.119955/
Then use some file sharing website to upload it there and give us the link here.
Also need S/N of the card

R9 290 gaming - black screen when trying to update driver

Hello, I recently built a haswell pc and when I received my msi r9 290 card, when I uninstalled the driver that came on the cd using the offiicial uninstaller, and then I cleaned the remains with driver fusion, my pc posted but the screen was black. I could not see the login screen for windows. I got round it by booting in safe mode which allowed me to go to the desktop and install using device manager, rebooting and then fully installing latest driver. This has not happened to any other gpu I have owned. Is this because it's a new card?

its windows/drivers mess can occur especially when changing to different cards

I played Diablo 3 with a friend of mine and compering his fps with the same video settings my pc has lower fps then his pc. And my pc is much better.
Probably Diablo 3 is not the best game for test everything, but maybe is just a signal that means that something is going wrong
thanks for your answer and attention.

You can inrease gpu clockrate in little steps with >>MSI Afterburner<<. If it gets unstable reduce clockrate by a step until it is stable again. GPU will have better performance as long as it is not bottlenecked by the cpu.
i dont get it..with this u mean that i need to increase gpu or cpu clockrate? how should i set afterburner?

Films downloaded won't play.I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a 'total recovery' - an important link is missing... anyone any idea what it could be? I have updated iTunes and Quick Player

Films that I have downloaded from iTunes won't play. I just get a black screen. My computer crashed last week and I had to do a Total Recovery - Films played perfectly before this. I must have deleted a program or link.............. anyone know what could be missing? I can play YouTube videos etc. but nothing in the iTunes store - films or trailers won't work.

The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

MSI R9 290 Gaming 4GB Black Screen/Freeze Issue

Hello All,
I just received my new MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming. 4GB. It freezes/locks up upon booting into windows. If I do not install the drivers. It does not lock up. As soon as I install any driver, it goes to a black screen, and locks up. I have read the forums, and see a few other people have reported this issue. I have tried the following AMD Catalyst drivers 14.7(beta), 14.1, 13.2. All still have the same issue. I have tried installing the driver manually(via device manager) with out the CCC. I have also tried the native drivers from MSI's website. still same issue. Not sure what else to do here. I am using a CoolerMaster RS-850Watt power supply. Windows 8.1 Pro. Here are the rest of the details of my setup. Anyone know of a fix for this issue?

Hey guys, thanks for trying to help. I ended up going back to the retailer. memory express. They determined that the card was DOA. They exchanged it and provided me a new card. New card has no issues. thank you for the help.

970 GAMING black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime

I have 970 GAMING w/ FX8320, it shows black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime to enter default.
I have updated it to the up to date M11 bios. Once it boot up, it functions OK no matter whether you reboot or reset it. But after turned off a few hours (cooled down), it shows on black screen again on boot, all LED lights up OK, but I can hear the fan like keep rebooting, any idea?
PSU seasonic 430W, GPU HD7750.

In what DIMM slots did you insert your memory? I just got and at this moment building a new computer with a 970.
A horrible experience I had with my last build reminded me of it. My board was am MSI A88XM-E45. DIMM1 is blue, DIMM2 is black, DIMM3 is blue, & DIMM4 is black. When using two sticks of RAM, it says to install one on DIMM1 & the other in DIMM3 (Makes sense... After all, it's color colored that way).
Well it would not boot. I reseated every component and for HOURS tried almost everything. Finally I decided to place my two sticks of RAM in the first two DIMMS and viola!
I think I will begin this build the same way.

270X Gaming - Black screen after driver install

I just recently purchased an MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr Gaming.
I physically installed the board and booted my PC. Windows started fine, albeit in VGA mode. I then proceeded to install the latest AMD drivers for the card (13.11 Beta). I made it through installation and then rebooted. When I rebooted, I got a blank, black screen after the "Starting Windows" screen. I was unable to boot windows, so I restored to last known configuration and tried again with different drivers (13.9) with the same result.
Does anyone know why windows hangs when it loads the display driver? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr Gaming (S/N 602-V303-03SB1309077057)

Hi everyone. I just wanted to give you an update. It seems I have resolved the problem.
After attempting other fixes (fresh Windows install, MB BIOS update, etc), flashing the BIOS of the video card fixed the problem. I used the BIOS version
015.040.000.000.002887. I believe the BIOS the card shipped with is 015.039.000.000.002887. Anyway, there are no problems now. I was able to install Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.5 with no problems and no black screens.
I got the BIOS and ATIWinflash from TechPowerUp. I'd post links, but I am too new to the board.
Thanks guys.

MSI GE60 OND-614SA BLACK SCREEN

hi guys need your help/assistance/opinion and solution about my msi ge60.
1. i always leave my laptop at home open, when i come home. it wont boot anymore.
2. when i press power, only black screen.

ive read already the topics that could help to solve this issue. but the problem is that their issue is not the same like me...when i open my laptop...only black screen nothing else happening...i try the ec reset...nothing happened...
Did you try hard rebooting? Is the AC plugged in? Is the led blinking or just shinning?

N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming black screen blinking problem

Hello there,
i upgraded my PC 4 days ago with a MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming graphic card. I installed the newest graphic drivers. Clean install and without nVidia Experience. My problem is black screen blinking when i am playing or watching. Screen turns to black for 1-5 seconds like monitor lost its signal. It happening when i click to fullscreen button. No matter if its in youtube or windows. It happening every time. It does the same when i am playing. Big lag and then black screen blinking for 10 sec. Sometimes more sometimes less than 10 sec. I used Google and i am not the only one, who have this problem. Some people says, that GPU BIOS flash helped but in MSI website is only one BIOS and i dont know if its newer than mine or not. S/N of my card is 602-V282-380B1404100829 (if it helps) and my current bios is here h t t p ://leteckaposta.cz/186979270 (just click on the GK104.rom in the middle). I think i tried almost everything. Registry clean, anti malware and spyware, drivers re-install, turn W Aero Off, UAC off and other worthless tips how to fix this issue. I monitored my PC with many temperature software and i am 100% sure, that overheating isnt the problem. So could you please check if the MSI Bios is newer than mine or tell me what to do to fix this irritating problem?
Thank you very much
PS: I am not a native speaker and english is my 3rd language tbh, so please excuse any grammar mistakes

you are using latest vbios version, test the card in another PC

Msi r9-290 gaming (fan RPM )

Hello can anyone help please . my r9-290 gaming dose NOT show the fan RPM any more in GPUZ or in MSI afterburner. it use to in 13.12 but now nothing shows on 14.1 (fan rpm = 0 ) fans are on and running on desktop they are at 18% and go to about 40% in game.
plus in MSI afterburner the gpu ram speed keeps going up and down like a yoyo.
here is a screen shot of what i mean.

Hi hpipiw
I think the fans are actually fine, its definitely looking like a software issue, I didn't see this problem before installing afterburner, and setting a higher min fan speed seems to have cured the issue for now.
I can imagine that a fan thats seizing up might just stop at lower speeds, but I would think it would struggle to start up when touched.
Keeping an eye on it for now, will of course rma if I notice anything bad happening.
Cheers for the comment.
