MSI Ti4800SE and MSI KT4V motherboard incompatible?

Yesterday I bought an MSI Ti4800SE to replace a GeForce2. It booted up fine and Windows detected it and installed the drivers. However, on rebooting, the monitor went blank and there was a series of beeps.
The computer would not start. I tried taking out all the other cards and tried the video card in 2 other computers but all I got was the beeps. I took the card back and got a refund as they had no more in stock.
Is the video card incompatible with the motherboard for some reason? Did I somehow cause the card to die? Should I buy another or will the same thing happen again?
Any help would be much appreciated.
My system is
MSI KT4V motherboard
Athlon 2500
512Mb Kingston RAM
SB Live
Network card
56k Modem
2 hard drives
DVD ROM
Mitsumi CD writer
350W PSU
Windows 98SE
Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for your advice - looks like I need to spend yet more money then!
But do you think I damaged the card by not supplying enough current, bearing in mind that it booted OK the first time? Or was it not damaged at all?

  • No MSI info and MSI clock speed flags in display properties

    My problem is really curious. Several days ago I bought new harddrive and made clear instalation of Win98 SE. After that I installed VIA 4 in 1, on-board audio drivers, the new DirectX and then DetonatorXP drivers for my G4 Ti 4600. My problem is that in display properties I miss two flags descrabing my nVidia card - MSI information and MSI clock. System has detected card correctly. In advanced display properties I can adjust OpenGL and Direct 3D settings, AA settings, etc.
    My system is stable in every game and benchmarks, so it means that card works correctly. Powerstrip detects core and memory speeds correctly, under adapter options in this program I see 128 MB video memory, AGP 4x enabled, fastwrites enabled - everything is correct.
    But in display properties I do not see MSI information and MSI clock speed flags. Why ??? I have also reinstalled VIA 4 in 1 and Detonator XP drivers - it did not help.
    Before byuing my new harddrive (80 GB Seagate,7200rpm) I had 30 GB IBM,5400rpm. Windows 98 SE installed on this harddrive detects card correctly too including MSI information and MSI clock speed flags. Now I miss it. Any idea ???
    On both harddrives I have installed DetonatorXP 29.42 then I have updated to 30.82
    My system:
    MSI K7T Turbo 6330 3.0
    1,33 GHz Athlon T-bird
    512 MBRAM
    G4 Ti 4600
    80 GB Seagate BarracudaIV 7200rpm
    Win98 SE

    I installed the MSI Drivers from the MSI cd. All ok but the clock and info tabs were missing. I upgraded the driver from msi site to 3000 and no tabs.
     X(  
    Before the GF4 i had a gf2 and i realized i forgot to uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing the new card's drivers. I uninstalled them and reinstalled the msi driver 3000. But no clock nor info tabs.
    Can someone help me? Are those tabs needed?
    I'm using xp pro, intel p4 1.8 on motherboard intel d850md, 1gb ram.
    Also the 3d turbo experience gives me msivga.ocx initialization error.
    Thanxs.

  • Msi nx6800gt and MSI kt4v

    My MSI nx6800 gt will not work in my MSI KT4V motherboard.
    I install it and when i boot up all i see is a jumbled mess of colors when it`s trying to post.
    Are they not compatible?
    The MSI KT4V is supposed to have an 8x AGP slot.
    Is it maybe the VIA drivers. I`m running 4-in-1 ver 451v
    What`s up?
    Why won`t it work?

    What chipset drivers are you running ?
    I`ve tried different versions of Via 4-1 and still card won`t work.
    I`m running Enermax 460 watt PS so power is not an issue.
    I`ve read in some of the forums about bad cards.
    I`m wondering if i got one ?
    You would think support would have more info if this was a
    common problem

    wyles,
    Download and install the latest  nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Delete the file msicpl.dll from your Windows Directory and the problem will go away.
    If you want to be able to have the hidden functions, create a file with notepad and put this in it.

    Save it as agpsetting.reg to your desktop or anywhere you like. Then run it and it will give you all the hidden options from nVidia which include extra Resolution settings for your desktop and overclocking for both the memory and core.

  • Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

    I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
                  MSI Geforce 4 - 420
                  Celeron 1.7 gig
                  Soundblaster Live
                  2 Network Cards
                  and the usual stuff.
    I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen.  Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

    My system sometime freezes. Why ???

  • Cannot open msi clock and msi info

    hi i am having some small problems with my
    mx440-td8x.. when i open the properties for the card i cant open the options msi information and the msi clock. it says: error when the file f:´WINNITsystem32desk.cpl for the controlpanel was opening. what shal i do to fix it?

    Guys,
    You could go get the latest nVidia Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website.  Then you can delete the file msicpl.dll from your Windows directory.
    For the extra features:
    Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
    Quote
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]

    "NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
    Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
    That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
    Take Care,

  • MSI U8668 and MSI GeForce4 MX440

    I have a Systemax Venture computer.  It is brand new, 2.4GHZ, 512 Meg DDR.
    The motherboard is a MSI Biostar U8668 Motherboard.
    It has a built in 32MEg 3D SavageDDR video controller.
    I purchased a brand new MSI Mx440 8X (128MEG DDR, 8x AGP) video card.
    I am using FreshDiagnose to check my computer performace.  Before  the new card, I get about 633 Video Performance.  After the MSi GeFroce card, I get 533.  I have tried new drivers and such, to only worsen the results.  I have tried the card in another machine, and it performs worse than a Diamond Stealth 64 card.  This card has 128MEG DDR ram onboard.
    I am completely stuck.  I paid good money for this card, and want it to outperform any other card I have!!
    Does anyone else have any ideas, or has anyone had this problem>  What should be the driver revison # for the Video card, the Motherboard?
    Also, whatd the best Video performance benchmark to test with and get the best results??
    This is my last effort to try befor obtaining an RMA, but would like to solve the problem ASAP!
    Thanks!
    Neil Hicks

    Biostar ( http://www.biostar.com.tw ) is not related to MSI.
    This board uses a VIA P4X266 chipset, did you install the VIA 4in1 drivers?
    How many points do you get in 3DMark 2001 (not 2003) ?
    I downloaded FreshDiagnose and it's benchmarks are all 2D acceleration (simple draw operation, text, moving bitmaps, drawing circles and lines...)
    These are all legacy features and not executed in the 3D core of the VGA card.
    If you want to run Doom(1) at 300FPS you would care about this, but it has nothing to do with D3D or openGL preformance.

  • MSI GX701 and MSI L735 case compatibility

    Greetings.
    The story goes like this: I have a MSI GX701 laptop, and the case has cracked around the hinge, so it needs replacing. The only case I could find was one from the L735 model and luckily, they look very similar in pictures, but I'd like to know from someone who knows better if they're compatible (I only need the "top part" of the case, as the plastic damage only affects the superior case). Also, is the case replacing a very hard and dangerous process, or is it fairly simple ?
    Thanks!

    Codegen don't perform as well as you might think. The info I ask for should be on a sticker on the PSU, inside the case. But I'll help you, since I've been there before.
    As you see below, there is not much room for a Radeon9800:
    "Codegen 400W Pentium 4 ATX Switching Dual Fan Power Supply, Retail Package
    Output:400W
    +3.3V -> 14A Orange

    +12V -> 12A Yellow
    +5VSB -> 2A Purple
    -5V -> 0.5A White

  • MSI TI4800SE supported resolutions.

    I have a MSI TI4800SE and my old monitor died recently, and I have been thinking about getting a widescreen monitor to replace the old one. All the ones I have seen have a warning stating to make sure your card can support the resolution(1440x900 or 1680x1050). I do not see either of those resolutions in the manual, but it does say the actual settings may be different because of different monitors. So you can see why I am a bit confused.  So if I do decide to get a widescreen monitor am I going to also have to get a new graphics card to fully utilize the monitor?

  • MX440 problem and MSI support

    I am experiencing problems with a new MX440 and cannot resolve it.   I attempted to submit a request via the MSI website, but it never returns a response once the information is submitted.  I sent an email to the support account - no response.  I posted in another thread where other people experienced a similar problem (MSI Clock).  The only resolution (in that thread) was to install Win98.  
    What do I do?  I think my only option is to return the card and NEVER buy another MSI product for myself or a customer.   Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Problems:
    1. Most games will not play properly, or will only play for a few minutes.  Including the games provided with the card.  "No One Lives Forever" flickers really bad and locks up (or blue screens).  Similar behavior with Giants, Diablo II, et al.
    2. The "MS Information" and "MSI Clock" Display Properties crash the control panel application with the following error:  "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel File c:\winnt\system32\desk.cpl".  I am not able to view or modify these settings.
    3. Live Update Fails with a VBIOS.DLL failure.
    4. 3D Turbo crashes the IE 5.5 window when started.
    I upgraded the bios on both the MB and video card. I installed the latest drivers for the video card.  I've tried every combination of scan rate, screen resolution and 16/32 bit.  I prayed.
    It's only the 3d apps or apps that are video intensive that have a problem.   All other applications work great.

    Hi ,
    It seems I have the same problem than you; in addition I also have a ASUS P4S333 motherboard; running XP Pro.
    Well my problem is really with 3D games, all of them, even those distributed with the graphic card. I am trying to get help from MSI and ASUS on that problem; before going back to the shop for getting a replacement card to test it will change something or getting a new card.
    what I have tried is NOT installing MSI drivers since it adds some option in the display menu and constantly crash it when they are selected (MSI info and MSI clock)., got driver directly from MSI from 27.xx to 30.xx, try them all with "no one lives forever" and Medal of Honor with always the same results....freezing screen after 5-30 minutes of games.
    I was wondering of a fan problem, that the GPU will get too hot , and you will get the typical freezing bug; however, if the image remains frozen (almost, because it is still working, but it is really slowwwwwwwwwww.), the sound is still playing properly, so the CPU is OK; it seems to be hardware GPU problem....
    Did you solve your problem??
    if yes what was the solution
    Thanks in advance for your answer

  • P35 Platinum and MSI 8600 GT problem

    I have a problem with the computer locking up. It will do it on certain web sites, clicking around in Media player and other programs. I tried everything I could think of. Finally I Got an 8400 video card locally and everything is fine. My question is, since the 8600 GT gets all of it's power from the PCIE slot could it be a voltage problem? If so, I see no way of increasing the PCIE voltage in the bios for this MB.
    Any ideas before I send this card back?
    Thanks,

    It locked up with default bios settings and no overclocking. I didn't overclock the video card at all. I tried everything. Since I put in a temporary 8400GTS I have the processor overclocked to 3.3gig and everything is fine. Could the 8400 need less power than the 8600GT and if so is there a way to increase the voltage on the 16X PCIE slot? This is a MSI MB and MSI Video card so I would expect them to work together.

  • 5700 Ultra 3 - No ' msi clock' or ' msi info' tabs???

    I have an FX5700 Ultra card from MSI with the original drivers that were supplied with it installed. Prob is that i used to have the 'MSI clock' and 'MSI information' tabs under display settings, and now they are gone?? I upgraded the nvidia drivers to Forceware drivers and all was fine, but then accidentally set the refresh rates for the adapter and monitor too high. I had to reboot in VGA mode, uninstall the drivers and reinstall the original supplied drivers on the MSI CD. Since then i have no MSI tabs under display settings?? Any suggestions?

    man, if u wanna see the clock of the card, get a utilitary like rivatuner. it has a regfile which displays the clock . if u wanna see the clock displayed by msi and DOT, go to msi hp and get the latest driver from it. i recommend u to use http://www.nvidia.com latest drivers and use a utilitary to display your vga card clock.

  • New Radeon 5770 1GB and old MSI RD480 Neo2 motherboard incompatible?

    Hi,
    Am having problems getting my machine to post after inserting a new graphics card: Sapphire Radeon 5770 1Gb.  Have no problems with my old card in the PCI-E slot (X800GTO) - it works fine.  But when I insert the 5770, the machine won't even post. 
    The core of my machine is ~4 years old, with a MSI MS-7194 RD480 Neo2 motherboard.  I've updated the PSU to a Corsair 650W and as the light on the graphics card is on and ATI recommend a 450W PSU I doubt it's a power issue (and yes, I have attached a PCI-E power lead to the 5770)...
    Is the issue that my motherboard is too old? Or is there a newer BIOS for it? I tried the MSI LiveUpdate tool which said there wasn't.
    So I'm a bit stumped! Am in the process of putting a new machine together, but can only buy 1 or 2 parts each month - I was hoping to make the most of the graphics card before I had to cough up for a new CPU/Mobo!
    All help gratefully received - thanks!

  • MSI graphics cards and MSI motherboards

    Do MSI "tend" to match their graphics cards with their motherboards? .... would I benefit from matching an MSI graphics card with my K8T Neo2 motherboard?
    JLP

    Noooooooo, not at all.
    I have some K8N neo2 platinum combined with an msi nx6800gt and although
    i'm very happy with game performance, there are times i would expect more.
    My GT has lots of problems when not running at stock.
    Even at 365/1050 there is some stuttering (rarely, and for about 2 seconds) but
    still, there is.
    It could as well have been any other brand.
    And i bet it could have been a better o/cer.
    The only thing i HIGHLY recommend msi gards, is their EXCELLENT bundle.
    Mine came with 15 cds(!!!) :  DOOM 3, XIII, URU, Prince of Persia and many more.

    I've just got myself a Msi Ti4800SE VTD8X, and i checked for the total video memory using 3DMark2001, 3Dmark2003 and sisoft sandra2003.  They all show the same information, which are 64M, sometimes 32M., somtimes 0M, and sometimes 128M (though not too often at 128M). The information differs each time after rebooting the system.
    However, when i play games it seems fine.
    Please tell me if it could have been a problem with the video memory, or the software that i've used.
    and what should i do?
    oh...I'm using windowsXP pro (service pack 1).
    the power supply is Antec 550W TrueControl.
    thanks

    Hola Exequiel,
    One thing I forgot, you Desktop. There is no reason to run your desktop at 32bit color, set it to 16 bit.  Running your desktop at 32bit color means any games will have to render your desktop in the background in 32bit color even though you cannot see it.
    As for overclocking, if your 2200+ is the old Tbred A, it is a very poor overclocker, if it is the Tbred B, then you can really overclock it. (There are manual settings on your motherboard, but if you do not have really good cooling I would not do it.)
    As for your Vid Card, you get a great boost in performance by overclocking the RAM than the Core. Before you start, you must be happy with the fact you could destroy the card and end uo with an expensive new key chain. 8o I use 3DMark2001SE to test my overclock. If I were to overclock your card, I would bump the core and RAM 15Mhz the first time. Then from there only bump the RAM a couple of Mhz at a time and run the Benchmark. If it locks the computer up, turn the computer off and lower your settings. If you see garbage on the screen hit the esc key, lower your overclock and test again till you know it is stable.
    But remember this can destroy your card and you will be without a video card and need to buy a new one.
