N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC ----- No Boot / Blue Screen

Hello all,
  I recently purchase a brand new N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC.  Previous to installing the card I had a gt250 with the latest Nvidia drivers installed (285.62).  I installed the n570 and booted up no problems.  I was able to see the new card installed in device manager and also confirmed it in afterburner.  However, I wasn't able to set or view the voltage settings even after enabling in preferences and restarting afterburner.  Although, the remaining settings / stats seemed to work fine.  I was also able to do a full kombuster (ultra settings) benchmark with no problems, receiving a decent score and topping out temps in the high 50's I think.  I also played a few games and turned up settings with no trouble.
  When I rebooted my machine as the windows load screen popped up I got a BSOD and an error referencing nvlddmkm.sys.  All reboots there after either failed to the same BSOD error or rebooted the machine.  Booting into safe mode had no problem as did booting into normal mode if I uninstalled all nvidia drivers first.   As long as I boot into safe mode or there's no drivers installed it doesn't fail.
  I've tried every version of the nvidia drivers I can find.  286.62, the newest 290 beta drivers, the 266 versions that came on the cd and multiple 270's version that were noted the most stable in internet forums...all produce the same results.  I then updated the bios on my motherboard to the latest.  I also reinstalled a fresh copy of win7 x64, and ran all system updates include service pack 1.  I did all those updates with my 250 installed.  After I had a solid system I put in the n570 and rebooted.  I again had a perfect boot and was able to access the card (not the voltage via afterburned or any info via live update 5).  I was able to run benchmarks etc once again.  Upon a reboot, it failed back to the BSOD again.  I repeated the multiple driver tests, all failed the same.
  If anyone could suggest something other than RMA I would be happy to give something else a try.  It seems silly to RMA a card that works so well on first boot until I reboot windows.  But I'm out of ideas...
System specs:
N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC
Intel Core i7 950
6gigs Ram
730 watt power supply (w/ dual pci-e power connectors)
Gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev2 (newest bios - standard clock speeds - default voltage settings for pcie)
Win7 x64 Service pack 1 (all windows updates)
Thanks for any help.

Also, if it helps to note, on the initial install (both times) the card was stable for hours until I shut down and rebooted.  If it were a power issue wouldn't it be unlikely to be stable for such a long time (even during stress tests) and then not even be able to load windows correct after a reset?  Seems like a driver issue to me, however as I've said I've tried them ALL haha.
Thanks for the help

  • Does N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC have OCP?

    Hello,
    (1.) does the MSI's N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC VGA have OCP, since it utilizes custom PCB and, compared to reference, has more VRMs?
    Any URIs would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much.
    EDIT:
    Hi again,
    I wish to add two subquestions:
    2. Does OCP (for the GTX500 series, in general) affect Kombustor, given the fact that it's based on FurMark?
    3. Does "Xtreme burn-in mode" in Kombustor and FurMark bypass the OCP?
    Thank you.

    Quote from: Svet on 16-March-12, 18:35:01
    Yes, all cards have such
    If its Disabled it will effect anywhere
    No
    Excuse me, Sir, I do not understand what you mean by "If its Disabled it will effect anywhere".
    My understanding is that OCP used to throttle down heat generation and performance of OCCT, FurMark, and the like, but ever since ForceWare 267, it applies to every application. What do you mean by "Disabled"; did you mean enabled? I apologize for my confusion, Sir.
    I remember that GPU-Z had a mode to disable the OCP (/GTX580OCP), then the newer ForceWare denied the disable, possibly thereafter TPU countered and reworked their mod to bypass the OCP again (/GTX500OCP); judging from the previous sentence, it should be possible to disable the OCP throttling via a software tweak (not just hard-modding the PCB), and I wondered whether Kombustor/FurMark implemented this software-based solution into the "Xtreme burn-in mode", since, for example, Kombustor displays the "Unlocking power draw will increase graphics card workload." warning when one selects the "Xtreme burn-in mode". The bottom line is that I only want to learn what "Xtreme burn-in mode" is really all about, could you, please, explain its concept to me?
    P. S.: I do not challenge you; I'm only trying to learn. Thank you for your help; I truly appreciate all the time and effort you vest into these forums; you're a star!

  • MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC memory clock?

    I have had an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC for about 6 months now and have used MSI Afterburner to monitor temps etc. Today I used it to lower my overclocking as others had said Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't crash if you take it off.
    If you look at the MSI product page for the card (the forum won't let me post a link to it!?) you can see the Memory Clock Speed(MHz) says 4000 yet in Afterburner mine said 2000Mhz and the slider was in the middle. I am pretty sure there is no multiplier at work here so mine wasn't being overclocked?
    Any ideas? I have reduced it down to 1800Mhz and GRFS doesn't crash anymore but can I take it up to 4000Mhz safely in future? I do not want to overload the card.

    you have multiply the memory value x2 to get the effective speed

  • N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC

    Hello,
    I have exactly the same issues like the OP.
    I bought my video card (N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC) 3 days ago and my video card is showing exactly the same symptoms as described by the OP.
    I was able to play 2 evenings after hours of problems where my computer system was showing the same artifacts immediately after turning it on. When the system succeeded to boot to Windows the nvidia driver kept crashing over and over again if I did not receive blue screens.
    Surprisingly after booting again and again and again and... the system was eventually stable to play 2 hours. After shutting down and turning the computer on again the same problems reoccur.
    I did not RMA the card so far because I was trying to isolate the conditions where the card is running stable. I was not successful so far.
    My nvidia 8800 GTX works like a charm. All, and I really would like to point that out, all other components are 6 weeks old! Last component I exchanged because of the graphics issues was the PSU. After exchanging the PSU the problem was gone for 15 mins.
    @RelevantToSome: Looks like I am using the same memory like you... Compatibility issue?

    Test your 570 in another know working system with a similar GPU.
    Are you talking about a similar CPU or GPU?
    Of course, both is not available!
    Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
    My initial suspicion is a PSU or the card itself.
    Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
    Yes, on paper the PSU should be OK, but it may not have the available amps as claimed, i.e. could be defective.
    At least it has enough amps to run the card and while measuring power consumption my whole system sucks 392 watts, ~140 watts less than the PSU manufacturer claims for the 12V rail alone. And the PSU does not really seem defective because when the system manages to boot up it runs without problems hours and I would expect the system would run under full pressure even 24 hours.
    Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
    If the card works on another system, then test your PSU on the other system.
    I have no other system available to disassemble completely. I have 2 PSUs here. Both show the same symptoms...
    I purchased this PSU because I also thought my PSU might be defective...
    Quote from: Bernhard on 06-October-12, 05:51:32
    We can't support your MB, but your BIOS may need an update. Check the MB manufaturers BIOS release notes.
    Just for interest, what is the relation between BIOS update and a card showing artifacts immediately after turning the computer on?
    Ofc I will flash my BIOS just to sort that out...

  • N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition Questions

    Hi,
    I just have two questions regarding my card.
    Firstly, is this http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/427489/MSIN570BIOS-bin.html the most up to date vbios for my card, if not where can I get the latest one from?
    Secondly and this is probably a stupid question, my card has a switch on it that switches the cards fan mode between Performance and Silence. Which is which on the card? I have tried the switch both way but I couldn't really notice a difference?! If I was looking down on it with the backplate to my left, which side of the switch would be on the left?

    about second question, they are named [peformance & silence]
    see it on image:
    http://media.msi.com/main.php?g2_itemId=65220&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
    when you switching between BIOSes, you need to reboot your computer,
    then the new BIOS will be active.
    if you switching them without reboot, they are not switched.
    about 1st one
    update is available, i've attached it below.

    Hello!
    Thank you very much for your answers, my friends.
    What troubles me is the fact that I have no real way of measuring the VRM temperatures; I don't think that the GPU Core temperature is the thermal bottleneck, in this case, or is it?
    Let me know what you guys think, please!
    Thats why if your card doesnt has VRM monitoring sensor then I suggest keep daily OC voltage under 1.1volt  such as 1.075volt at 930/1050, that was my stable daily OC with MSI GTX570 TFII OC. Although 1.1volt for daily OC is safe also.

  • MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC Bf3 crash ?

    I used to play bf3 with high setttings but now ı start using ultra,now it stutters like freezes then it crashes especially when I zoom in with sniper rifles ,I saw people play this game with this card in ultra settings butter smooth in  youtube ,is it about getting hot or my 4 gig ram is not enough ,any of u guys have any idea ,maybe the psu not enough ?
    my specs highpower 650 w
    4gb ram
    e2500k
    4 gskill ripjaws 

    What are your GPU and CPU temps like when attempting the game at those settings ?
    Could be temp related.
    On paper the PSU looks OK, but the practice may be a different story. Perhaps you are able to test with a PSU that provides 35-40Amps on a single 12V rail? Friend or family. Thats the only way to see if it is the PSU.
    What about drivers ? Have you checked the Nvidia websit to see if any of the release notes speak about this?

  • N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition Question

    Hi,
    I've had this graphics card for a year and a half and had no real issues with it but I am considering watercooling my system and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a waterblock for this card?
    Although the perforance of the fan is great, my card does get quite hot (dual screens) which in turn makes my room noticably warmer so I think water cooling maybe a way around this.
    Any suggestions?

    Because of it being a custom design pcb a full cover block doesn't exist. a simple gpu block leaves the vrms without cooling which is a bad idea. Better go for a high end air cooler like Prolimatech MK26 or Alpenfoehn Peter

  • N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition Warning Sound

    Hi,
    Recently whilst playing games I have been getting a loud alert sound coming through my speakers, it sounds like the Red Alert sounds from Star Trek.
    I am guessing this is a warning telling me my GPU is over heating (although I think it happens at <90 degree's). Is there anything I can do to stop this or deactivate it?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Quote from: ChrisMullins87 on 04-June-13, 19:55:22
    I have found the issue, it was one of my desktop widgets. I had notify of overheating on and it was set to 90 degrees.
    I have increased that to 100 degrees because if it gets that hot I do have serious issues.
    Eitherway, 90 deg is still quite high, any suggestions to help improve that?
    I am going to rearrange my fans later to have 2 intake 2 exhaust as opposed to 3 intake 1 exhaust. Is it worth removing the GPU cooler and reapplying thermal paste?
    The case I have is a Silverstone Fortress FT01B
    Thanks to everyone who has assisted so far, I really appreciate the help in diagnosing this issue
    Quote from: ChrisMullins87 on 05-June-13, 07:17:33
    I took my system apart, cleaned it out (was a little dusty) and re-added thermal paste on the CPU and GPU after cleaning their coolers. Also rearranged the fans as said above.
    The result is after playing GRID 2 for two hours the GPU never crossed 80 degree's, a dramatic improvement!
    Thanks all!
    P.s. I used the thermal paste I had to hand, which was Arctic Silver 5, and used the last of it. Ironically I had just ordered Arctic MX-4 and Thermalright Chill Factor 3 to replace it after reading reviews online so I glad to hear it is recommend after reading above!
    well done

  • 570 twin frozr III power edition oc unstable

    Hi,just finished building my new rig (i52500k,p8z68-v-pro gen3 and msi N570GTX Twin Frozr III power edition OC)but my card appears to be unstable out of the box,crashing straight away on 3d mark,i'm getting display driver stopped responding error.
    I've done a clean install of drivers etc,and only when i use afterburner to up the core voltage by 25mV does the card become stable.(have not tried less voltage)
    Why isnt it working at stock voltage ?
    I even tried bf3 using the card at fully stock settings,and it crashed minutes into the game

    Sounds like the same problem i was having https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155348.0
    Most games would crash 10-30 seconds into the game, battlefield 3 lasted about 2-3 minutes before crashing and restarting.
    Now i have a decent power supply unit no more crashing just hours of fun gaming

  • Driver for N560GTX-448 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC -l- split

    I bought the card about four weeks ago and just now I had the opportunity to test it.
               When I installed the video card in my PC, the device manager appears only a standard VGA video card. When I installed the driver, Device Manager showed a yellow exclamation on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti saying "Windows has stopped this device becouse encounter some problems (error 43). I tried running some games but I could not open them, and with some drivers the screen was filled with artifacts
              I tried various drivers on my two PCs, from one that comes with the video card to the 295.73 driver, and each time the same warning on device manager. Can anyone help solve this or may I do a RMA to MSI?
    My systems:
    AMD A3500

    Thank you.

    Quote from: Bernhard on 20-March-12, 00:42:10
    You sure your PSU has enough amps on the 12V rail and you connected the PCIE power connectors properly ?
    Have you checked your Motherboard's BIOS revisions for updates regarding the later video cards ?
    Your PCIE Bus interface should be 2.0 X 16. Have you reseated the card properly and disabled the on board graphics in your BIOS ?
    My PSU is a SevenTeam 750ZAF with 750W. I used it to do SLI of my 9800GTX+ in the other computer and never had problems with it. I doubt that this could be my problem.
    The GA-EP43-DS3L already has the ultimate BIOS and I did the update on the GA-A75M-D2H BIOS. Nothing new, the problem persist.
    Anyone of my boards does not support PCI-Express 2.0 but this is not a requisites for  work of the video board like said the MSI page:
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N560GTX-448-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Feature
    "PCI Express 2.0 doubles the bandwidth of previous generations of PCI express up to an astonishing 16Gb/s. This maximizes the performance of current graphics cards in today's most demanding games and applications. PCI Express 2.0 products are fully compatible with mainboards with other versions of PCI Express."

  • GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition

    Hey guys,
    i just got the GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition and i love the card but it seems to run quite loud at fan speed above 48% so i made a custom fan control in afterburner
    and the card runs at 71C - 75C under full load in games(crysis2, witcher 2), are those temperatures too high? if not what is the max safe temp i should be running at?
    thank you =]

    Quote from: Henry on 31-July-11, 05:13:04
    Those temps are normal under a heavy load, nothing at all to worry about.
    some people said i can lower the fan speed and just let the card run at 80C, so my last question is:
    Is 80C under load an acceptable temperature to run this card at for let's say 4 non-stop gaming hours a day?
    and thanks for reply ^^

  • Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

    Is it possible to have two displays simultaneously connected to this graphics card:
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Overview
    The card has two DVI-outputs "DVI Output: 2 (Single-Link DVI-D x1, Dual-Link DVI-I x1)".  I can use one display at a time and the second display only shows "No signal" error. I would like to use two displays when playing PC games, is it possible with this craphics card? Both my displays have VGA connector cables, and they are connected to the card with an VGA/DVI adapter.

    Quote from: Svet on 19-January-12, 22:12:52
    what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
    Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
    I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.
