Need help Msi 7900gtx - artifact found in new driver

I have the latest model card Msi 7900gtx that has that monkey game and hdcp *or whatever extra feature that was*
before latest driver no problem
now installed latest driver no problem.
but when i stated up Battlefield 2 the game started then crashed to desktop. THEN *for the second time* it showed this pink line the left of my monitor. It went straight from top to bottom and it would not go away.
The first time this happend was 2 months ago, after that my graphics card started to sparkle *like fireworks sparklers* then shut down my pc*.
Anyone know what might be the problem?
I uninstalled the game and the driver at the same time restarted computer and it is gone. strange aye but would like to know as i aint gonna loose another graphics card lol and wait another 2 months for replacement *send to supplier, they do rma send to taiwan from new zealand so on so on*
thanks
update: the new driver was date march this year, I rolled back february driver and no more pink line on side screen. Installed BF2 again works fine.
has anyone had any kind of probs like this with this march driver?
haven't OC'ed anything either

If the problem went away after using different drivers, common logic suggests to me that that driver release was somehow incompatable. That sort of thing happens.
Stick with what works and/or try a newer release. Sometimes you have to sample a few drivers to get the best results.
Did you check the event viewer after the shutdown?
When you say "shutdown" can you be more specific of the event? Did it just shutdown with no intervention by you? Like a power cut?
Or was it a restart or blue screen?
Do you have the setting: Control Panel > System----"Advanced Tab" > Startup and Recovery > Settings..Look under "System Failure" for the selection "Automatically Restart" if that box is checked, you will not be presented with Blue Screen information. Uncheck that box so the system does not restart and will present a Blue Screen with pertinent information..

  • Need help copying Time Machine backups to new drive

    I was attempting to move my Time Machine backups from one hard drive to a newer hard drive, by copying the Backups folder. It gets through the process of preparing the files to copy but then as it starts to copy the file I get an dialog error box saying that it can't convert one file and that I need to install a newer version of IWork. I don't have IWork installed on this computer, but I have used pages on the iCloud website. I have attached a screen shot showing the error. The copying stops at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    That usually works better than a Finder copy and is often faster.
    If required.

    Hi,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • For many years, Device Manager has never found a new driver.

    Hi,
    For many years, more than ten years.
    Look back, please.
    Has Device Manager found a newer driver, when we are eager for?
    No, it has always said 
    "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
    This is not only the case on Windows 10, but also Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP ...
    Every version of Windows could never search even a single new driver.
    Hardware manufactures have released newer drivers already.
    Also, they have been certified by MS, i.e. WHQL passed.
    I hope Windows 10 will be the first version that can find a new driver.

    @Ashidacchi,
    Keep in mind, this "Search Automatically" option only searches Windows Update - it doesn't crawl the entire Internet to find the latest driver.  Many times Windows Updates is months, if not years, behind the newest driver available from the
    manufacturer.  So you will probably continue seeing this result - I wouldn't count it as an issue as Microsoft doesn't upload every single latest driver available from every manufacturer.  It would just be too much of a hassle - for MS and for Intel/AMD/Realtek/NVidia/Lenovo/HP/Dell/ASUS.... 
    the list goes on and on.

  • Need HELP with JetDirect 500x - I'm New to this Apple Thing!

    Hello. I am very new to Apple. I have been using PC's for years and I am over them. I am slowly trying to understand the differences and where to begin. I need help getting my printers setup with a JetDirect Box. Here is what I have.
    HP JetDirect 500x, with a dedicated IP address of 192.168.10.2, which is DHCP assigned by my wireless router. Connected to Port1 is a HP OfficeJet R40; Connected to port 2 is a HP Deskjet 9800.
    It appears that the drivers for both printers are built into OS 10.6.3.
    How do I set these bad boys up? I found one article where someone was doing something similar to me but I tried what he did and had no success.
    Here is what I tired in the Add Printer Dialog box:
    Protocol: HP JetDirect - Socket
    Address: 192.168.10.2:1 -or- http://192.168.10.2/ipp/port1
    I also tried Port 2. No luck.
    Please help. I am trying hard to get there. Thanks

    Welcome!
    The HP web site shows Mac drivers for up to 10.6 for the 9800 but no Mac drivers at all for the Deskjet 500. Only Windoze and Linux drivers listed for that one.
    I hope someone can jump is with a comment on the Mac compatibility of the JetDirect print server. We tried for years to get one to connect multiple printers at work and eventually threw in the towel. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I noticed the HP site recommends using USB printer sharing if it is necessary to network a 9800 on Macs. Could be a clue. You might need to contact HP support to find out if the JetDirect is Snow Leopard compatible.
    The last two printers we bought for our home network--a Brother 5250N b/w laser and an HP PhotoSmart C6280--were bought because they came with ethernet ports. They were a cinch to set up on the wired network and service six Macs, two via the wireless router and four on the wire.
    regards from the next state over,

  • Need help msi 945pl neo crashed within 3 months use

    need help. my mobo doesnot start, no post, no beep. 
    1.main board 945pl neo(MS-7236)
    2.video card: msi RX300HM TD128E
    3.CPU Type: pentium 4 3Ghz (531)
    4.Memory Type:512mb ddr2 533 kingston
    5.Power Supply Type:generic 500W
    6.Operating System:windows xp
    Just a bit of history, when i first bought and assembled the unit(brand new) it was working fine for about 5 times used, then the next time i used a message window appear informing "a problem has been detected and window has been shut down
    to prevent damage" and before i can restart my unit i have to reset first the bios.. i encounter the same problem about 3 times..
    Then just about a week ago (about 3 months after i bought it)while working on a MSWORD only the same message appear with additional info which state that :
    1... be sure to if uhave adequate space... try changing video adapters
    2. check your hardware vendor for any bios updates.....
    3. tech/info
    stop 0X0000008E(0XC0000005, 0XBF87C5C8, 0XF8834C80, 0X00000000
    win32k-sys- add BF87C5C8 base at BF8000001,
    date stamp 41107F79
    then a blue screen appear
    which has an info of:
    Beginning dump of physical memory
    Physiscal memory dump complete
    Contact your system admin. or tech support group
     since then i cannot open my computer, there is NO Beep sound, no post, but the power Led is on and the HDD led goes On for the moment then goes out... same with the cdrom drive its spin for a moment, i can feel also the harddisk is spinning.
    i check the power supply, memory. video cards and harddisk with another computer(mobo) and its working just fine which led me to the conclusion that it is my MOBO that has the problem. Can this problem associated with the Bios (by the way i never update my bios and my computer is not connected to the net). What should i do?? What is the possible cause of this problem??

    Hi!
    This stop error can have more then one cause.
    Please view the microsoft knowledge base for more info, like this article:
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834450
    Your specific error code is not in the base, but you can try searching for "stop 0X0000008E in win32k.sys".
    Start by clearing CMOS using the jumper or reset button on your board. Please disconnect your pc from AC power first.
    Please make sure that Service Pack 2 for Windows XP is installed on your system. If not, install it (if possible of course).
    Please check your memory using Memtest86 .
    Please try booting from CD or from diskette (the memtest diskette is bootable by itself).
    If the system will not boot after you tried this, please try starting barebone:
    - Take out all your hardware, including the mainboard and lay it on a piece of cardboard;
    - Leave the CPU where it is;
    - Install only one dimm, your videocard and one hard disk (and your power supply) and try to start the system. You can use a flat screwdriver to connect the two power pins that normally go to your power switch.
    If the system still will not boot, try another video card.
    hello!
    i'll already tried the list you suggested, and still nothing happened, again there are no beep, no post. only the power  led that lit and the fan that is spinning. reinstalling the OS seem impossible coz its not even booting... i'll test all my other hardware with another computer and they are working well...

    to shutdown standby server:
    from primary server connecting to dgmgrl
    dgmgrl>DISABLE SITE standby_site1;
    then connecting to standby server
    sql>alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    sql>shu immediate;
    and finnaly connecting to primary server
    sql>shu immediate
    is it right since i am new to datagaurd concept need help.
    Regards
    Prakash

    You can do so, but you would shutdown the whole standby environment. But normally standby is used to have no or only short downtime. So a switchover to the standby DB is performed (after this standby is now running as primary), maintenance is done on the primary and then at the end another switchover back from the 'new' primary to the 'old' primary.

  • Need Help Installing an OS on a new Hard Drive

    H, I just installed a new Hard Drive on my G4. My problem is I cannot find the original G4 install discs.
    I do have OSX Panther discs which I bought later. Can I use these to install a new OS?
    How would I do this as the new Hard Drive is brand new and probably not formatted? Do I power up the mac and load the Panther install disc 1 or is this not the correct procedure?
    Also I have an external LaCie CD drive because the one in the mac doesn't work. Will the external LaCie CD drive be recognized when I put the OSX Panther discs in it to install an OS on my new Hard Drive?
    Sorry for so many questions but I don't want to mess this up.
    Thanks

    Thanks for replying Thomas. Well my G4 Hard Drive was shot so I took it out and installed a new one so I have to reinstall everything (new OS & all applications). I tried to use Super Duper to Clone the HD but the HD was too far gone, so now I need to install an OS on the new Hard Drive.
    I can't find my original G4 install cd's. I do have Panther OS discs and an iLife disc I bought awhile back. Can I use these instead of the original G4 install disc?
    Here's the process to install a new OS as I understand it. Please correct me if I am wrong or am missing a step.
    1) Put the first Panther install disc in the cd tray.
    2) Power up the G4 while holding down the "C" key
    3) Follow the installation instructions
    Thanks!

  • Need Help Regarding Time Machine Backup from Old Drive to  New Drive

    Hi All,
    I have a 250Gb hard drive which is my Time Machine Backup which is full now, so, I got another 1TB drive. Now, the problem is how can I transfer the old back from the old drive to my new drive which is empty and then continue to use the new 1TB drive as my new TM Backup.
    Please if anybody can help me really appreciate the efforts,
    Thanks In advance
    saurabh

    you can clone the old TM drive to the new one using either the restore function in disk utility or one of 3rd party cloners like CCCloner or Superduper. once the cloning is finished, select the new drive as the TM drive in TM system preferences.
