New MSI X1900XT Card going bad and losing 6600 cards

I just got my X1900XTX card and put it in my system, It ran great and really fast, Well it did for one night that is.
While reading the forum the next morning I started getting little dash lines in collums across my screen. I checked the temps and even reloaded the drivers but the issue did not go away. WoW I can't beleive this is going on.
In the past two months I have put together systems for some of the men here at the base and they had me put in 6600 for them, and almost the same thing has been going on. Or they just stop working all together.
The power supplys are large enough 500 watt and up. K8 Diamond Plus Mother Boards on most. Cooling is working and temps are in range.
I am asking if anyone else is seeing this? Or know anything about it?
I called MSI Tech support and they said that the X1900XTX is not good and that I will have to send it back, and MSI so far has replaced the cards with no issue but I am not happy about having to send so many cards back.
They had us send the 6600's back and they where replaced .
I am trying to see if there is a pattern here or if there is something that I do not know that I need to be doing so this will not happen. I do not know what that would be as I am not doing nothing strange or OC'ing the cards .
Any Info would be great if anyone knows anything on these cards, and about the X1900XTX's I want to know because if they are not working well I do not want them for my system or to put on anyone elses as they cost so much and people do not like to have to wait for a few weeks to use there system after paying so much for a highend card.
I use MSI hardware on about 98% of my systems as I like there product, this is not a slam on MSI but I do need to know if there is a issue on some hardware as I cannot afford to replace cards for people that do not work.

Hi
How many amps are those 500 watt power supplies supplying to the 12 volt rail? The newer graphics cards require a lot.
See attached link for more info.

I HAVE A I MAC WITH MOUNTAIN LION BUT WHEN I DOWNLOAD MAVERICKS ALL STAR GOING BAD AND RIGTH NOW THE COMPUTER DOESNT START I AM **** UP HOW CAN RESTORE MY ORIGINAL OS LION MOUNTINE.
OR WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER THERE IS A LOT INFORMATION THERE WHY MAVERICKS IS TROUBLESHOOTING.

Don't post in all caps. Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums. What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions. Reboot normally.
2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

Msi gt660 speaker goes on and off

Hi
After my old MSI GT660 could not be repaired, i recieved a new unit, but with a different screen. However, less than a week later, the left speaker goes on and off, no matter if it is playing a video, music or podcasts. And the right speaker sounds bad, when the left speaker isn't working (like something is covering it). But when the left speaker is on again, it sounds good. It has been on and off 4 times now.
Any ideas?

New T430 hard drive is bad and Lenovo won't supply replacement preloaded software

Placed order for Lenovo T430 with preloaded Microsoft Office 2010, Adobe Elements, and Adobe Lightroom on 1/13/13. I received the computer in January and have had ongoing problems with it since that time, requiring multiple contacts with tech support. Overall, I could use the product (minus the thinkpad laster bluetooth mouse I also purchased from Lenovo that would not stay connected to the computer) up until this last week, when it would not start without going into the boot menu, but could not get out of the boot menu.
I called tech support, who thought it was the operating system and sent me recovery discs to reinstall the OS. I had help from a computer servicing company who checked my computer and found the hard drive is bad. They have called Lenovo, who are sending the hard drive out to be replaced. However, Lenovo is refusing to replace the preloaded (by Lenovo) software I purchased from them.
Case # A05LT3Q
Tech support says that my account where I registered the product would be able to provide the software. I called customer service about that and spoke with Hason about the problem. He stated that he would have to start a customer advocate case for me. He says he does not yet have a case # for me, but will call me before he leaves at 7pm tonight. I will post that case # when and if I receive it from him.
Am more than frustrated with this case and the problems I am having.

If I remember correctly, the recovery discs should have everything that came with the system. I could be wrong though.

Installing Leopard on new iMac, installation just goes on and on...

Hi there!
Just bought a new iMac 24" with OS X 10.4 installed. I ordered the Leopard upgrade and installed it today, and experienced the already documented problem where login password is seemingly accepted but after a few seconds the login window appears again. Recommended solution was to "Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings)". I did that, and have now been staring the installation screen for six hours... surely it doesn't take that long to re-install? Installation process started just fine, but after that, no progress. What could I try next? I tried searching the forum and all I found was that one shouldn't interrupt installation process or it would screw things up, so I'm a bit baffled what to do next. Thanks for any thoughts!

Should I use nVidia or MSI Drivers for my new MSI VGA card?

Hi,
Im just about to replace my old (non-MSI) Geforce 4600 TI, with a MSI FX 5700, and i'd like to know, should I use the MSI drivers on the MSI CD, or should I just use the latest nVidia driver from the nVidia web site?
thanks for any help

Yes,but the drivers 6X.XX are optimized to the Geforce 6 series.I don´t think I will gain any increase in perfomance if I use the 61.77 driver,for example,instead of the 56.63.And MSI drivers allow DOT,which is safer way of overclocking

My new iPhone 5 screen dims badly and has difficulty waking up

First of all, my auto brightness is off.
I took my phone out of my pocket, went to unlock it and only the backlighting was on, so it was only lot up 20% of my settings. I unlocked the phone and was able to flip through my app screens, yet the actual screen never "woke up".
I went to the brightness screen in the settings and moved the setting slider just 1mm and the thing woke up fully. So strange. What could have caused this?

Msi video card n240gt and n9800gt problems with output HDMI

Hello to all
I have a problem I just bought a new Video card because I needed HDMI output. The previous card I have is a BFG Ge Force 8800GT 512 DDR2 running @ 1920x1080p 60Hz which works perfectly the only downside is it does not have HDMI out with 5.1. Now i installed the n240GT 512 DDR5 and tried watching BD ripped to the HDD and playing them back all i get now it jerking lagging bad also and have horizontal red and green lines scattered across the screen.Which i did not have with my 8800GT card thinking its a bad card so i bought another card from another dealer this time its a MSI N9800GT 1gig DDR3 and still the same problem.I Checked the resolution and its set to 1920x1080P refresh at 60Hz,i also changed the Hz to 24Hz and it cleaned up the lines but not all and picture still jerky picture. I have a MSI K9N NEO V3 Motherboard and all drivers updated current Bios. l used a DVI cable 40ft long with my Ge Force 8800GT and every thing worked fine, once I installed the new MSI Video cards N240gt and N9800GT I have the above problems and using a 50FT HDMI cable. I have a Samsung PN50A550 with 3 HDMI inputs 1 has my BluRay player hooked up with HDMI running at 1920x1080P at 60Hz and crystal clear picture no problems, input 2 has my HD Bell receiver running at same specs as input 1 no problems I tried the other HDMI inputs from the Samsung TV from the HDMI out from the card same thing. It has to be the cards that can`t support the TV what else can it be if not the MSI cards. Please respond ASAP Thanks Thumpalong

You may want to borrow and test with another PSU.
We always recommend Corsair and Seasonic
I can't find anything on Topower other than that opinion piece of linked... getting frustrated. Most of the time I can find detailed info on most psu's not this time, so best to borrow and test.
Assuming of course that the older VGA's worked fine.

Issues with MSI FX5600 cards

In my part time i build computers from a small buisiness i started while in university.
I have several issues concerning the new MSI FX5600 Cards, that have not been completely answered in any post that i have read here in the forums or in the poor FAQ section of the MSI website.
These cards have been around long enough now that MSI should start taking Customer service into consideration and start answering some of these issues that many have mentioned and have yet to get an answer to.
The first Set are Hardware related. Second are Software.
HARDWARE#1 First off is the poor construction of the heatsink/fan assembly on these cards, the one im using now, along with pretty much every one i have seen has large gaps between the RAM chips and the heatsink ( well its not really a heatsink more like a heat spreader plate).
The solution given in this forum is for the consumer to do the work of assembler himself (thats pathetic). So i guess MSI should stamp "some assembly required on their boxes and drop the price some $50 for the time it takes a user to repair this problem.
MSI should hire some good assembly people at your factories! I have installed many cards over the years and by far this is the worst heatsink assembly i have seen, which is quite obviously due to MSI using cheap labour done at a rapid rate.
Or just abandon this one heat spreader plate idea and paste individual passive heatsinks on each ram chip, like Asus and many others do.
And best idea yet is to Recall all your cards and offer everyone a decent heatsink solution to replace this poor design.
HARDWARE#2 Why is there no temperature monitoring on these FX cards? Simple question however i have yet to see an answer. Will there be in the future, or is there no temperature monitoring due to lack of a hardware, or do we all have to go buy thermocouples and connect them to our heatsinks, if we want to know the temp of our cards. Given the above #1 it would also be good to know the temp of the RAM given that many of the chips have no heatsink at all connected to them.
HARDWARE#3 The unit that plugs into the back of the VIVO cards never quite stay plugged in well and are so short that due to a lack of slack in the cable weight put on it by pluging in other cables tends to cause the whole unit to become unplugged. Why not just make that cable a litle bit longer?
HARDWARE#4 (related to above vivo connector unit) why use a (infra red )IR reciever connected to the video card? Why not just supply a seperate ir reciever and have that connected to a USB port or somthing else. Does it really make sense to have IR using the AGP resources? Also the quality of the ir reciever is absolutely the cheapest i have ever seen, and is awkward to place in any usefull position without using tape to stick it it to somthing.
Hardware#5 Cheap Remote control. Lots of buttons on it however most are really useless, and dont work anyways.
Instead of providing these remotes free with the cards, make a good remote remote control that uses RF (radio frequencies) instead of the awfull IR, and that can actually controll common software that people would normally use, or that ships with operating systems like media player etc.. Also why not have it also act as a second mouse like other manufacturers do?
SOFTWARE #1 Lets start off with the IR software or driver, I have used several other IR recievers/software that work perfect within windows. HOWEVER MSI has the absolute worst i have ever seen. The memory leaks everyone has is a perfect example of how poor their IR hardware/software work together. Will you be providing some new drivers to fix this? Or was providing a remote control just a gimmick to try and capture a few early customers?
SOFTWARE #2 the media center is so awfull, due to many reasons here are some.
a) for many people it wont even work to begin with
b) the resolution and more importantly Refresh rate ( 60hz ) is just plain stupid. ( i dont know anyone who can stand looking at a 60hz refresh rate for more then a few min without getting a headache).
c) use of remote control is full of bugs and is limited to this software alone.
d) i have yet to find any way of even adding pictures or other media files to the lists (not that i really care) this just points out the poor user interface.
I could go on about how bad it is, but i wont.
I recommend that MSI re-think their media centre and just get rid of it all together and start from scratch on somthing new. Try looking at what competitors such as ati's software and even Nvidia have as thier media centres. Also just dont use Intervideo's WinDVD and do like Asus and go with Cyberlinks PowerDVD.
c) lack of any monitoring software for video chip or ram heat status. This is related to the hardware comment #2
d) 11 cd's software bundell. Who cares why do you guys hype this if its basically 11 cds of old games that dont even use direct x9 capabilites of the card, or apps that i would question if anyone would even use. Most would prefer a drop in price versus having this large cd set.
Well that is it for now. Normally i would get paid for my ideas and suggestions where i work full time as a product development technologist, But this short list I provide freely hoping that MSI get their act together and make a better product. There is lots of potential there however it would require much more in terms of fixing these bugs that really reduce customer satisfaction and thus reduce sales especially in the customer recommendation sales.
Two last comments not related to the cards:
i) The packaging. is it really necessary to pay for the extra ink to put colorfull images within the inside of the box? could you not use that extra money saved and put it into either hiring better assemblers or making wires a little longer etc..?
ii) There is nothing mentioned in the manual concerning the Remote control its use or that of the media center.
It would now be nice if MSI would plese answer some of the above questions and sittuations and create a new FAQ for this card and have it available within the FAQ section of their website.
Thank you for reading this post.
hope for some improvements soon

I echo these words too. :O

While watching a live program my voice keeps going off and on

while watching a live program, like the news, the sound keeps going off and on sometimes takes a long time to come back on?
I have checked my connections and they are secure so I would appreciate a little help with this, I am not a very smart computer person so have patience please.

Make sure the manual of the monitor says it supports the frequencies you are choosing.
Make sure the amp in use by all devices plugged in does not exceed the amps your circuitbreaker/fuse supports in that portion of the house.

New MSI Mega 180: Some problems...

I've just bought a new MSI Mega 180... and I've come up with some problems:
I can't get the radio to be detected in windows... not sure why. When I load, radio webupdate, it comes up with: Cannot find radio module.
I can't get into the Wireless configuration monitor. If you select Gateway or AP mode, and then hit configure, it comes up with a pw prompt, and I can't find what to put in there... that's driving me nuts...
When I'm running windows, the front panel is compleatly black, should it be showing anything?

The clock should be on or if you installed PC Alert it would show the CPU temp. and stuff like that. I think media centre 3 shows something on the display (I can't get it installed)
Can't answer your other questions.

Is my Video Card/Display going bad??

My display has 30-50 vertical columns, from top to bottom, across the screen. Within each column, are numerous vertical lines, like bar codes, that are pink in color. This situation happens at start up before any applications are opened. The computer(apps) works like normal, mail, safari, etc, except these lines are always in my view, on the desktop or window/page. If I "grab" a page to move it , then the whole page turns pink. If I click off of the page and then return, the page looks normal again, except for the columns of pink, vertical bars.
Is this my display going bad or video card?? I have the ATI Radeon X850 XT video card. If it's the video card , do I replace with a new old stock (ATI Radeon X850 XT) or can I replace with a newer, better card??
Any help GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!! I'm Very Novice at this!!

Hi-
Sounds very much like a baked graphics processor.
Have you tried cleaning the dust from the card?
Is the fan on the card clean and rotating freely?
If you are at all mechanically inclined, removing the fan and reapplying thermal compound is worth a try before laying out serious cash.
As for replacement, the X850XT was the top card ever offered by Apple.
It is also THE most rare.
Because of this, they command high prices:
http://www.welovemacs.com/6613594r.html
eBay also has a number of them for similar prices.
Radeon X850XT
can I replace with a newer, better card??
Only one option for better.
A flashed (converted PC version) Geforce 7800GS:

At less than half the price of the X850XT, it is worth considering:
Geforce 7800 GS.

New MSI 6200 TD256 card in a KT4 Ultra (via) board,no boot, no page, help please

Hello.
just bought a new MSI Nvidia 6200 TD256 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127186) and I put it in my KT4 Ultra board (via chipset). I am using the newest bios (1.4) and Via 4in1 chipset drivers.
What happens is when I boot the machine, everything starts up, but I get no PAGE and the D-Bracket is hung at the "testing VGA bios this will print ..." (thats what it says in the manual).
Now, I've done the best I can to research this issue, but best I can guess is this is a bad card and I should just return it for a replacement... the card does look fine, I see no physical damage and it seemed to be properly shipped. I did read that kt4 boards don't support 3.3v AGP cards... but I'm not really sure what that means.
Anyways, if anyone has any insight on something I should try before I have to go through the return process that would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Cody

I'm using a good PSU 350w atm, and I did check it in another good system...turns out its a bad card.
ok then its clear its a bad card.

Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad?

After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad or graphic card issue? Trying to decide if computer is worth repairing as it was made in 2007.

It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.
