MSI Ti-4200 128 MB possible overclocking problem

I have a:
QDI Kudoz 7E/333A mobo
AMD Athlon 2000+ (Palomino)
MSI Ge-Force Ti-4200 128 MB
512 MB Ram@333
Maxtor 160 GB HDD UATA 133 8MB Cache
Western Digital 40 GB GDD UATA 100 2MB Cache
SB Live Audigy 2 NX
Nec DVDR/W 3520
Nec DVD-ROM 5500
Windows XP SP 2
NVidia Detonator (Forceware) 66.93
Coolbits2
I had overclocked my Ti-4200 to 285MHz Core and 585MHz RAMDAC using the coolbits registry key (boot settings). Everything worked fine for about a month, I have ran several 3DMark tests (mostly 2003) and many "heavy" games (Doom 3, Far Cry, HL2, Warhammer:DOW, etc) and no problems occured (crashes or weird graphics). The 3DMark 2003 score from 1500 now is 1700 and I am (was) quite happy about it. Yesterday I removed the 512 Ram and re-installed it after a while (had to remove the card also) and the PC, without having any problems at all (I was playing Dungeon Siege a few hours ago) suddenly, while in BIOS and DOS, the screen is filled with white dots (looks like Pac-Man    ) and while loading the XP logo I see thin vertical lines (red and yellow) and then the monitor closes while the PC still works. I tried running in safe mode, it loaded but I still had these lines on the screen. I removed the DVD-ROM and the WD HDD just in case (350W PSU) but still had the same story. I installed a Club 3D Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB and everything worked fine. I didn't install any Catalyst Drivers, I removed the coolbits from the registry and the NVidia drivers, re-installed the Ti-4200 and still I have the same problem. The card looks fine, no broken pins or anything. I also thought about a virus but this can't be, I triple-checked everything I installed and no viruses were found (and the Radeon worked).
I fear the overclocking was not so good after all but I can't be sure. 
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.

Proves a theory im made at least, MSI makes cheap / fault video ram, your card is a gonner pretty much, those vertical lines and monitor shuitting down are known as screen corruptions that occur when the video ram is fried (in most cases), did you overclock it by 10%? Im wondering if you can RMA a card since MSI does guarentee 10% overclock on some cards so I here but I cant be sure, someone else needs to answer that question as for MSI, if your going to overclock, dont buy from them, Im quite peeved at MSI because the memory on their cards cant even handle stock speeds let alone overclocked ones.

  • MSI ti 4200 128 MB and Problems with "Need for Speed: HighStakes"

    Does any one know of a fix for "Need for Speed: HighStakes" with the new 45.32 drivers. When trying to start this game it won't even load, the screen goes dark for a second and then falls back to the desktop. Did the same thing with 43.45, but if I install the drivers that came with the Video card ( I think they were 31.XX) then the game works fine. Haven't come across any other games that won't run except this one, some examples that work fine are UT 2003, C&C: Generals, Warcraft 3, Hot Pursuit 2.
    System:
    XP pro OS (sevice pack 1) DirectX 9
    Athlon 1800
    512 MB RAM
    MSI nforce 2 Main board
    MSI GeForce 4 4200 ti 128 MB 8X AGP
    Thanks for any info.

    well I "bugged" the game makers (EA) and the response is that the game doesn't suport Windows XP. Strange that the older nVidia 31.xx drivers work fine with the game. Also played it on my last machine which had XP and a ATI radeon video card. OH well who ever said Direct X was supposed to be backward compatible.
    Too bad the older drivers don't work so well with the newer games.

  • MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 DDR (Direct3D problem)

    I bought the MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128 DDR just today and I seem to be experiencing Direct3D issues.  I never have problems with general use of the video card, but when I try to play games that require 3D acceleration I get crashes (Blue screen of Death).  The reason why I think it is the Direct3D is because I only get problems when attempting to run 3D accelerated games, and I've downloaded a couple video test programs off of the net and they have crashed when testing 3D as well.  ?( I just ran dxdiag and it failed when I test Direct3D:
    Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)
    Questions:  Has anyone had this issue before and is it fixable without me returning the card for a different one?
    Thanks,
     Brent

    Sorry about that, I should have put that in the first message.
    I run Win 2000 server and I did a clean install (format drive) when I got the new video card. I have a Pentium 3, 800 Mhz 256 MBs RAM.  The motherboard is an AOpen AX3S with all Intel chips.
    My previous video Card was an ATI Rage Fury 32 MB and it ran all my games with Direct3D, but usually with low frames per second.
    The only thing I changed was the video card and the drivers of course.  I'm really trying to avoid sending the card back.  ;(  Any suggestion would be helpful..  Thank you!
    Brent
    P.S.  I tried to run that 3D Mark program that people use to test their video cards and that failed before it finished, so my score must be 0.    

  • Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

    I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
    my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
    Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
    Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
    Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

    mhuizing,
    nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work ,  i tested the connection with a friends computer
    exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!  
    My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
    Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
    i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free  :P !!!

  • Msi g4ti 4200 64mb/128mb ddr

     :O msi g4ti 4200              
    i am currently trying to install a msi g4ti 4200 card using win98se as os after installing the drivers 4 it it locks up and only way to exit out is to go back in safe mode and removing the card i have tried it with a gigabyte 7vtxe+ and revieved the same result and also tried it with an asus a7333 board no joy with that i have also tried different os i have also tried the detonator drivers of this site i have also tried a 128mb  please can some1 help me out with this problem
    thanks..

    Yes the cooler fan is working fine
    Yes I did try it on another PC and the problem of lines running down the screen persisted.
    Yes it must be the agp card.

  • MSI TI-4200 Win 98SE Rebooting

    I needed to create a Window 98SE disk so I can play some of my games that don't work on XP Pro.  I have used the latest drivers, but after I installed the drivers for the card, the PC reboots and goes into safe mode.  On my XP drive, it all works great.  How can I find out what the problem is?  How can I fix this so I can get to playing my games again?
    Thanks, Dean.
    FYI ...
    nVidia 45.23 drivers
    Intel 845PESV board with Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz
    1 GB ram
    WD 80GB hard drive

    Ok, my current confuguration is as follows:
    Intel DE845PESV motherboard
    Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz(533 FSB)
    1 GB of Kingston 133mhz DDR ram
    MSI TI-4200 Geforce 4 128mb graphic card
    Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card
    Compaq DVD-117 DVD drive
    Liteon LTR-48246s CDR-W drive
    Sony Floppy drive
    Windows 98 SE
    Promise Ultra ATA-133 (Tx2)
    After some additional research, I believe the problem is with the nVidia drivers.  I removed the drivers and had Windows configure the card as a standard VGA display card. Then everything boots OK, but only 16 colors.  As soon as I install any version (I tried 40.71, 44.03 and 45.23) of the nVidia drivers, the PC re-boots with a problem loading ndis2sup.vxd.  I don't know where to go from here.
    The games I want to play are Mechwarrior 2 Titanium additon and Mechwarrior 3. I have tried many configurations in XP but no good.  So I figure a drive with Windows 98SE will do the trick.  I have everything loaded except the graphics card.
    Is there any more info you need to help me?

  • MSI Ti-4200 TD GPU GRAPHICS "LAGGNESS"

    I have bought the MSI Ti-4200 TD about 2 months ago and have installed it to my new D.I.Y computer. But it does noe seem to be running smoothly when I play games on my computer. For example, even for games like Warcraft III, C & C Generals and RalliSport Challenge. I have encounter small jams here and there during gameplay and the worst is in Rallisport Challenge where "laggness aka big jams and distortion" occurs at every 10 to 15 secs f gameplay which cause "dizziness" ...
    I have even download the following driver for update on the GPU and things seems worst. After I have uninstall the old driver from my Win2K and install the fresh new driver, I have found that the system does not indicates whether my GPU is running under 2x or 4x AGP under Control Panel > MSI Information. I am unable to adjust my MSI Clock settings as an error message appearing says that "DirectDraw Init Failed. The sample will now exit". I do not have this problem with the previous driver. ?(
    Below is my com specs.

    Hope someone could find me a cure. Thanks :D

    Well... Thanks for your advice, but I have already formatted my computer and re-install everything. Though now my computer and the GPU works well :]  and perform rather well, but I will still take your advice to heart when the next time I come across this problem again.  )
    May I ask to confirm again? Is is that if I meet up with this problem, I will go to my DxDiag and de-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer >> Re-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer. Am I right?
    Thanks again for your help :D !!!

  • 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

  • Gt683dx possible motherboard problems?

    Hello,
    May 2012 I bought a MSI Gt683dx laptop. My experience with this laptop has not always been positive, but now a new and even stranger problem has arrived!
    In December 2012 I got a glass fiber internet connection of 100Mbps. Since my laptop is connected directly to the glass fiber modem with a cable, it will use the full internet speed. With several speed testers, I always get a download speed between 85/100 mbps.
    As of yesterday however, my laptop refuses to download faster than 9Mbps. I reset the modem, switched cables and contacted the provider. They told me there was no connectivity problem at my adress. Sceptical as I was, I connected a 5 year older MSI laptop I still had laying around to the cable. To my great surprise this one did manage to pull in the full internet speed.
    So, same router, same cable, but one Laptop doesnt manage to get the full internet speed while the 5 year older one does.
    I used the F3 recovery function to completely reinstall my computer. Then I went to the MSI site to update my drivers. It simply refuses to update the BIOS ("not compatible with x64") and with the Realtek driver I get the "findfile" error.
    I ran the speedtest again, and to my surprise; still only 9mbps.
    Over the past week weeks, my computer has experienced some 'stutters', wherein the sound and image will hang and sound mechanical for a second or more, usually with an interval varying between 10 seconds and 1 minute. A restart fixes this problem (temporarily) but my tech savy friends told me that this might indicate a motherboard problem. Since this problem is now added to the list, I wonder whether they are right.
    I have tried contacting the MSI customer service for problems in the past, but I want to avoid that if possible :/ the people I get on the phone barely speak Dutch or English, which makes communicating about technical problems quite daunting. I tried the email too, but I never got a single reply.
    So is there someone here who can help me?

    In order to update the bios you need to use the MSI flasher...
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    The stuttering is quite difficult to really diagnose without being there and seeing it. It could be a driver or software or it could be hardware. I've had all those cause stuttering in different computers I've had. That being said, if you feel there is a hardware problem, I would still contact MSI support about it and possibly get an RMA going.

  • Change Vcore on Prescott MSI 865PE 6728 Neo2 is possible !!!

    hello
    a vcore change on the MSI 6728 Neo-2 IS possible, you just have to use the bios version 1.9 !!! but you dont have the advance of the bugs fixed in actual version.
    it looks like MSI only "HIDE" the vcore settings. the tool "AMIBCP75" dosent work on the new AMI bios. does anyone have a new AMIBCP for 8 series bios ???
    i hope that msi change this very very soon, cause without a vcore change for prescott this board is NO hardcore overclocking board ! very bad thing !
    looks like epox also stops vcore change on prescott in new bios
    (sorrys for bad english :-) )

    psycho303, You might want to read this before you change your V Core

    Quote
    I discussed the Vcore change question with the board designer over last weekend. Base on my understanding, the reason we didn't offer that when Prescott is populated was because a new Intel VID design on Prescott: "Dynamic VID" (VID becomes variable on different stages). According to the board designer, if M/B (BIOS) overwrite the Vcore, Dynamic VID will become invalid which might damage the CPU (Prescott Core) when power stage changed.
    It is my understanding that bios version 1.9 does not support this VID and you could end up with a "dead" chip.
    After updating my bios I can watch the Vcore throttle up and down as the load on the CPU changes . At an idle it is around 1.36 and under a load it can go as high as 1.48. If you bump up the starting point of the Vcore it could throttle up higher than the chip can handle
    I am able to get 3.59 out of my chip on the stock vcore and can go much higher but I am using "Air" and have to watch the heat.

    Overclocking Problems on K8N Neo Plat

    As I had said that even when HTT is set 200 and memory divider used is 1:1 on my Corsair XMS (which was plugged in in my nF4 SLi mobo and has TCCD Ram chips) which is rated 2-2-2-5 at 200Mhz DDR and processor at stock speeds and voltage, memtest shows errors and system doesn't boots in windows.        
    Also my Ram sticks are rated 2.60V but when Vdimm set at auto Motherboard pumps 2.70V !! what's the problem , I use version 1.7 BIOS on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    Is that going to harm my RAM
