MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming Edition.... Help please?

2nd in msi AB the core volt is all ways at 13+ it wont go up or down. even with the msi gaming app OC/GAMING/silent all have 13+. also the mem volt is locked out how do i unlock it?. is there a way to fix this? plus when playing a game the core speed gos up and down like a yoyo any where from 350 to 977. its the same with my overclock setting on 1094/1375 cards hits about 65c but cores still drop. its well messing with my benchmark as i cant get it to stay at the speed i want?

  • MSI Radeon R9 290 not recognized

    Hello people,
    I hope this is the right place to post this. Yesterday I bought components to build a new computer.
    - msi radeon R9 290 Gaming 4GB
    - 8 gb crucial ram
    - 240 gb crucial SSD
    - i5 4440 processor
    - MSI B85M-E33
    - Cooler Master GM-Series G550M
    - Cooler Master N200
    I can't install catalyst center, I can't recognize the card in windows devide manager. Even in the BIOS its says that the PCIE1 express lane is empty.
    So I think that my motherboard is not compatible with the R9 290? Is there anything I can do? Or do I have to buy a new motherboard?( fans of the graphicscard are running)
    Please help me:)
    Thanks!

    There is no reason why the vga shouldn't work with your board although it is not meabt for gaming. Try updating it to the latest bios version using integrated gpu.
    To update use the attached (!) bios archive and the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    With the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< point to the attached and NOT unpacked bios archive (Mode 1: Point to Archive).
    Let the tool prepare an USB stick for flashing and reboot from the stick. Like before after post switch to bad bios and let the tool update bios. It will flash to the version 3.5.

  • Msi r9 290 gaming edition throttling

    hello has anyone came accross the msi r9 290 gaming edition gpu throttling when doing benchmarks as when i enable oc mode the score is less than when i benchmarked in silent mode using heaven benchmark

    The card has major issues, or the drivers. MSI why does it throttle when temps are good?
    There is a fix, but MSI need to look at this urgently, see full details here

    Its getting reported all over the web by many users, no wonder no one has reviewed the card yet :(

  • VGA BIOS for MSI RADEON R9 270 GAMING

    Can someone please post me a BIOS for VGA BIOS for MSI RADEON R9 270 GAMING?
    I flashed mine with the wrong BIOS and realised to late that the BIOS backup did not actually work. This is the 270 and not the 270x. Any help would be appreciated.

    There seems to be none so far: >>How to contact MSI.<<
    I removed the other line. Better don't mention the payment method again. Also such reward is not needed. Either there's such file from MSI or not.

  • 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 Radeon R9 270x 4 gb Help

    Hey guys!
    The other day I got MSI Radeon R9 270x 4 gb to upgrade my fairly old PC. I've been gaming on it for about 3 years.. When I connect the card with the two 6 pin cables the fans starts spinning
    but my computer wont boot. Any suggestions?
    I've been thinking about updating my BIOS but I can't seem to find drivers for my motherboard.. And I have no experience updating BIOS either :(
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    My specs:
    Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
    Motherboard: MSI X79A-SD40
    i7-3930K 3.20GHz
    16 gig memory
    PSU 1200W
    Old GPU(s)
    HIS radeon hd 6970 x2 (crossfire)

    To figure out what bios version you have, >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. After starting the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher it will automatically detect your board's current bios and save the details in a file on your desktop called MSIHQ_INFO.txt. There you can read up the exact bios version. Quote this details to check if there is a new version.

    Just had another crash only this time my monitor blacked out and 2nd GPU fans 100% restarted and 290 wasn't showing up needed to cold boot to get it back again.
    test this card again alone, based on this looks like something is wrong with it,

  • ATI 3870 Mac edition help please!!!

    I can't get my ATI 3870 Mac & PC edition video card to install any OS previous to 10.5.4 because apple does not support them. Can someone please help me. So far I have figured out I need to take the ATI kexts and put them on the install DVD using Pacifist. I am not sure how to make an installer or anything. Thanks in advanced.

    I agree that the Proadvantage card might be a Mac compatible but the photo is wrong. Other dealers have made that mistake.
    There are actually two Mac Editions of the Radeon HD 3870 being sold at MacSales (OWC):

  • Adobe Digital Editions Help please?

    I have purchased my first e-book: "Adobe Premiere Pro CC Digital Classroom" from JB HiFi. The payment went through successfully and I tried to download the e-book. I got the message that to download the e-book I had to install Adobe Digital Editions. I did this and got the message that it installed successfully and that my e-book was downloaded. When I opened Digital Editions I had two books there: "Getting Started with Digital Editions" which opened correctly and my purchased book "Premiere Pro CC" which would not open. I have been trying since Christmas to get this to work but it will not. I have also tried sending emails to Adobe asking for help and have had no response. Their help line is only open weekdays and I work full time so cannot get to talk to anyone. I use Adobe Light Room extensively, Photoshop a little and I was hoping to use Premiere Pro CC if I can get some help with opening this e-book. Will someone please help me?

    Can you please mentioned Adobe Digital Editions version? The latest version of ADE 4.0.3 is available at, Download | Adobe Digital Editions

  • MSI Radeon HD 6850 Cyclone edition OC seems faulty

    I have a new graphics card, MSI 6850 cyclone edition OC and it crashes alot when I try to run games, usually when the game is loading. I RMA'd with the retailer (OCUK) after I'd done pretty much everything I could I.e. update bios, reinstal windows, installing the drivers cleanly etc... and they said it's not faulty, but the problem persisted.
    I tried underclocking my card from about 860|1100 to 600|1000 and it seems much more stable now and I can almost always run my games without it crashing.
    But I shouldn't have to underclock it from the default factory settings.
    My system specs are:
    Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD3R
    Processor: Intel core i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz (was OC'd to 3.4Ghz, but I set the clock to default trying to fix the problem)
    Memory: DDR3 6GB corsair
    (new)Graphics card: msi ati radeon hd 6850 cyclone power edition
    (old)Graphics card: Radeon HD 4650
    power: corsair, TX650W, Model: CMPSU-650TX
    I've tried it on a number of clock settings and I've got these results:
    860 core | 1100 Memory = crashes (default)
    800 core | 1100 Memory = crashes
    750 core | 1100 Memory = crashes
    700 core | 1000 Memory = fine
    600 core | 1000 Memory = fine
    for some reason the card can't clock to anywhere near the default settings, it crashes even at 750 which is 110MHz below the factory settings.
    Also, the other day when I logged my desktop went like this:
    but it's stopped doing that now it seems, might be because I put my old card back in for a bit, old card was 100% fine in every way. I have the new card back in now though.
    I've overvolted it from 1149mV to 1200mV and it seems to have made the card more stable. It generally doesn't crash loading or during games now (still does occasionally), but it does seem to crash alot streaming things like bbc iplayer.
    I've made quite a few topics on OCUK about it and since it was sent back to me I've been told by everyone on there that it sounds definitely faulty and the card manufacturer MSI are my best bet at getting the issue sorted now. Somebody also said it sounds like a similar problem with some cards awhile back: Quote
    Reminds me of the GTX480 SOC fiasco. Lots of them wouldn't run at stock clocks and RMAs came back no fault found.. Voltage increase or back off the clocks were the only solution..
    All comments on my problem are appreciated,
    Dan.

    Hi!  There are currently tons of unresolved issues with the MSI HD68xx series products.  Better off with non-MSI products and buy into the HD69xx series.
    Skip the HD68xx series as nothing ever works right.   SVET might get ya answers but Svet only works the Forums and if you really have issues  MSI company won't hear it from here.
    You need to contact the expensive route calling MSI themselfs which I heard Customer Support and Technicial Depts are worthless. I tried when I had HD3800's and even AMD/ATI didn't care.
    You are now a Happy Owner of a Bad Product.!!!

    Are you able to use win 8 mode with onboard or unable to use the card at all?
    Yes, and it boots instantly.
