P7N2 SLI PROBLEMS

Currently i have MSI P7N2 (790i ultra), G. Skill DDR3 4GB, intel Q8200 (same), GTX 260 (x2 sli same) and new RMA TX850.
with my new build, everything was fine for about a week then in opperation flashpoint 2 i would get random pauses in game for about 2 seconds and then the game would move really quickly to catch up, kind of like in high speed as if everything was waiting in teh pauses, my movement, shooting everything. this would be after 1-2 hours playing
Then in OF2 and Crysis i started to notice the textures would start flickering and sometimes apperaing higher off the ground than they should. this would happen after 5 minutes playing.
then my games and systme would crash, everything fine on desktop, youtube etc but in game i would get lock ups and crashes and now when i try to use my sytem in SLI all i get is colourful screens in game, not even the real graphics !
now i have tried this in windows 7 (RC), Windows XP. Same problem in both. i have ran each card by itself and both run completly fine with no problems at all, i have tried 182, 186, 190 and latest drivers. all same problems. i have tried multiple SLI bridge, 1 brdige alone, 2 bridges, swapped bridges. nothing works
i have had nothing but problems with this system building and im completly tired of rebuying parts and stuff breaking, RMA bla bla i hate it, i should have to RMA something brand new.
please help me with this problem. nothing in my system is overclocked, all stock. i use it purely for gaming, i am a gamer i play for a team i really need my system for practice and LAN. i have a lan at the end of the month.
please any help would be great. thanks
i would like to add i posted another thread about overclocking, this board cant have any setting changed without crashing before windows, if i change voltage, fsb (even up ONE !) it crashes.
the audio card on this board pops and clicks all day long and makes the sound go "tin" like in game and ventrillo, even transmits my voice to sound horrible, then switches back to being normal.
problem after problem on my frist msi product so im asking for some serious advice becuase i am reallyREALLY starting to regret this product

Actually, most of the time when you see artifacts on the screen during gameplays or even normal operations, the problem is usually the graphics card either being overheated or having some internal core issues. Do test out with another graphics card.

  • SLI PROBLEM p67-gd65

    So i have had the my system up and running for about a month, been perfectly fine and stable, overclocking been working great. Today i put a second GTX 560 TI in for SLI, tried to boot it up and it powers up for a second or two, then powers down in an endless cycle. Tried taking out the card again to get back to original single card setup and the system is still having the same problem. Any ideas?

    But I still want to know what the problem is.  The board turns on, the fan on the board spins and everything else seems to work, why wouldn't I get a screen?
    Well you have to swap some parts to find out.
    Do you hear any beeps?
    What D-Bracket shows?
    Have you Clear CMOS Guide as suggested?
    What is the newest PSU which you have tested?

  • SLI Problem

    Hi,
    Am having a problem in SLI mode. The issue occurs when am playing games. The Screen freezes and i have to power up the system manually.
    When i remove one card from the motherboard it runs perfectly. I have updated all my drivers and the problem is still there.
    Any suggestion?
    My system configurations are as follows:
    CPU: Intel core 2 Quad [email protected] Ghz
    Motherboard: P7N-SLI Platinum series MS-7380
    Memory: Kingston HyperX DDR2 667Mhz 2GB 2Sticks

    Hard Drive: Western Digital 640 GB
    O.S: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
    PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 600W +12V~40A

    I've had this configuration since 2008 just recently when i installed win 7 its when the problem started.
    Both VGA's are N9600GT512MOC just like yours. But their info is not the same. Here they are

  • P6N SLI problem

    Hi all
    Just joined the group as i have got a P5N SLI
    just a few problems though with it.
    How do i turn off the feature that lowers the clock multiplier when the CPU is not in use? I have followed the manual and disabled C1E i think its called in the CPU menu in the bios however CPU Z still shows the multiplier dropping down to x6 from x7 when its not supposed too anymore.
    Also how do i tell if i have the V2 board or V1 board? as i have been sold it as the V2 board but i wonder if there is a way to find out by the numbers printed on the motherboard PCB at all?
    thanks all
    Dan

    You need to setup correct power scheme as well.
    "Also how do i tell if i have the V2 board or V1 board? as i have been sold it as the V2 board but i wonder if there is a way to find out by the numbers printed on the motherboard PCB at all?"

  • SLI problem, MSI gtx 280 super oc

    I decided to get another gpu for my rig, the other being gigabyte gtx 280, and once I got the system running, it has been crashing usually always after a cold start (computed being shutdown for more than half an hour). By crashing I mean screen freeze. I have to shut the computer down and take the power off from the PSU. That fixes it untill I shut the computer down again for more than 30 minutes. I have tested both cards independently with OCCT, got no errors from memory and ran the gpu test for 1 hour straight and the temps stayed at 85C and no errors. RMA time or what could be the cause of the problem? Haven't had any such crashes when I was running a single gpu setting. Done clean install on graphics drivers, used driver sweeper etc. using the newest nvidia drivers. Had the same problem with every driver I have tried.
    system specs:
    cpu: AMD phenom x4 9950 BE @ 3ghz
    psu: corsair hx1000 sli ready
    memory: 4g OCZ ddr2 pc2-8500 1066mhz sli ready

    well I can test the msi card again, but psu shouldnt be an issue, its a 1000w psu, is there any way to test if the pci-e slot is faulty?
    Quote

    Test it again alone, leave it full test.
    Check ventilation system inside PC case and ensure that there is a good airflow.
    Leave side door of the PC case open and add extra FAN to blow up directly to the VGA's.
    Then re-test
    Quote

    See if you can place the second VGA in another pci-e slot instead, say 1st and 3th instead 1st and 2nd.
    This also may help reducing heating

  • ATTN K8N Diamond Plus Users - SLI problem

    i need help diagnosing a problem:
    i installed this board last night, transplanted my a64 4000+ along with 2 7800gt's and a brand new antec 550w psu. i did the live update bios flash (dont recall what version i am running now) got my e/n and audio drivers in place etc.
    when i enable sli, the machine freezes when i fire up a game. both cards are plugged in properly, i tried swapping the slots they were sitting in, i tested both cards individually and they are good, i reversed the sli bridge just in case, reverted to fail safes in the bios,
    i cannot play games in sli mode, in single card mode i can (I THINK... i am afraid this might be a heat issue, but i put plenty of fresh arctic silver on my proc, FEAR seems to freeze regardless if i am running sli or not..i will have to double check when i get home from work)
    has anyone experienced anything similar? i am running fresh drivers and this is my first sli build so maybe i am missing something... i have been racking my brain for the last 12 hours, i dont think its the ram, could it be the northbridge chipset driver?  i installed the one off the disc, but i didnt check the site for a newer one...
    thank you so much for your time.

    Quote from: kakarocht on 08-February-06, 13:58:02
    Do not used liveupdate to flash the bios. Used from the program files itself. Refer from my sig on the flashing the bios. BTW create your own sig and gives more details about your peripherals and psu in details. What my concern is your PSU problems. Could you gives more details your PSU? Have you tried to install new drivers from NVIDIA??
    the psu is a brand new antec 'true power 2.0' unit that i bought from newegg...in bios the 12v rail is showing 12.3 which might be a little bit high...but it is stable for what its worth...
    here is my setup, i will create a sig shortly:
    2gb PQI ram DDR400 running at stock speeds, not sure of the latency but i am thinking cas2
    A64 4000+ Clawhammer proc running at stock 2.4ghz speed, 1mb cache
    MSI K8N diamond+
    dual 120gb maxtors
    sony dual layer 16x dvd
    stock cpu fan.
    shitloads of AS7
    another curious fact:
    since the upgrade FEAR doesnt want to work at all... DOOM and COD2 both work in single card mode...but FEAR will freeze on me mere seconds after the first map loads...
    i dont know what the culprit is...but i bet im gonna kick myself when i find out...
    im gonna go re flash my bios now...
    thanks for the input, its always greatly appreciated.

  • MSI P7N SLI problem, help!

    Is there a way to get a bios that has the quad core multiplier issue fixed on a P7N SLI-FI board? I mean, c'mon a fix has existed for the other p7n boards for months now. Isn't there one for my specific board??? I'm about to flash a SLI Platinum Bios into my board just to see if it works, 'cuz I'm loosing it already  . Any help would be greatly appreciated since I can't move my q6600 from it's stock settings, 3600 mhz is a "no go" with my cooler and there seems to be an fsb hole between 1200 to 1600 mhz on my board, I haven't tested every possible fsb setting but I don't want to, I just want to run my cpu at the 8x multiplier  :(

  • GTX 460 Hawk SLi Problem

    Hello
    I have this "small" problem with my MSI GTX 460 Hawk 1 GiG SLi.. Softwares like 3DMark Vantage and Bad Company 2 just dies/stops/vanishes/crashes in a wierd way... Once you are playing and then it just goes back to desktop like u didnt ever play the game or so.. like *puff*
    I have tryed many things to resolve this issue, mostly these common things what u can find from every forum.. reinstal drivers and change power rails and so on... Now i have tryed drivers 258 + 259 (msi recommended) + 260 + 260.93 beta and 3dmark 06 works fine with everyone of those.. But vantage and bad company 2
    gives me a problem and i guess some other games also but havent had time to try other games yet..
    Tho i got vantage work once when i runned it in vista sp1 mode and 258 drivers.. wierd.. ehh?
    I have already tryed so many things to resolve this that i dont have anymore ideas... What can it be? Can it be just a driver problem? I run both cards in 16x slots... Manual says slots 1 and 3 are x16 when sli so... directx is also updated...
    My comp specs are these..
    I7 930 @ 4 GHz (Stable)
    Asus Rampage 3 Xtreme
    6 gigs 1600 MHz DDR3
    850W Corsair HX850 (SLi Ready)
    MSI GTX 460 Hawk SLi
    WIN7 x64
    What info u guys/girls still need?
    Everything worked fine with cpu oc when i runned GTX 275... ofcourse its single card but cpu is stable anyways tested with intel burn and prime95..

    Hmmmm...
    Looks like @ this point that newest nvidia drivers solved the problem... 260.99... Vantage runs fine... one crash first.. then some driver bug or smth (RTTI crash or so)..  but third run went ok and over 31k points... So didnt have to remove any hdd´s or oc to get some more power ^^ thnx anyways for the replys, always great ^^

  • GTX 680 Twin Froz 4gb sli problem

    Greetings,
    I have two GTX 680 Twin Frozr 4gb cards in sli.  I have this problem when sli is enabled my two monitors and HD TV flicker randomly once in awhile.  The worst part is when I play games or look at 3d video the video drivers crash and most of the time I have to restart my computer.  Sometimes I can use control -Alt-Delete and it will be ok.  I have test both cards without sli in both PCI express ports and this problem does not occur until I enable sli.  I am using the sli bridge that came with my Z68A-GD80 (G3) board.  Could it be a bad sli bridge?
    Computer specs
    2 gtx 680 twin frozr 4gb bios - 80.04.28.00.32
    Z68A-GD80 (G3) bios - V18.8/202120116
    2600k processor - 4.6ghertz
    16gb gskillz ram - 1600
    corsair 1200 watt power supply
    windows 7 64bit home edition
    gforce driver -  4.8.750.0

    Both cards work perfectly alone.  I can even get a 50 hertz overlock in afterburner on both cards.  If it is the board were can I buy a good sli bridge that is reliable.  One thing I noticed is the bridge seems kinda loose on the connectors.  It is really easy to pull it off unlike my old crossfire bridge i had.

  • Nf980-g65 SLI problem: severe image corruption

    Recently built new system using 2 known good 8800GT video cards from previous setup (tested in other systems, in sli mode, they work fine)
    amd phenom2 965
    8gb ram
    all drivers/bios up to date
    System works fine with SLI disabled. Enabling SLI leads to severe problems, and has since was built in early january.
    At first it was just a blue outline or shadow to everything.
    Now the enture image is severely corrupted (black, flickering, image with pixel lines missing, etc).
    Disable SLI again, and everything works fine.
    Obviously I want to utilize SLI, as I bought this motherboard specifically so I could continue to utilize my existing (and future) nvidia SLI cards rather than have to replace them as well.
    Reading around the net and testing of the cards leads me to suspect it is the SLI controller itself on the motherboard that is bad.

  • MSI Z87-GD65 SLI problem

    I have been using the z87-gd65 motherboard with an msi gtx 770 since they both came out, and they have both been working great.   I recently just purchased a second msi gtx 770 for SLI, however when I enable SLI, and try to play ANY game it will either crash immediately or run the game and the screen will flicker very bad.  Both cards are functioning great if used individually as a single card. Has anyone else run into any SLI issues with this motherboard?   Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    so far some of things I have tried to no avail are...
    -updated motherboard bios
    -updated both video card vbios individually
    -tested each card individually
    -tested each pci-express slot individually
    -replaced SLI bridge connector
    -reset BIOS defaults
    -tested all available nvidia drivers since the gtx 770 was released
    -swapped power supplies (both are 850 Watt with 70+ on the 12v rail)
    -changed various game tweaks/profiles and vsync options at different refresh rates

    Quote from: xmad on 16-November-13, 02:00:25
    If you need to raise the voltage to run at default speeds, the card is most likely defective. A vbios update sometimes helps, but it should work at default settings.
    I had 1 ASUS 660ti OC version, had this for a year and worked great without any changes (updated vbios it cause of GOP). 2 weeks ago i bought a second one, MSI 660ti Power Edition OC (also updated vbios cause of GOP). Tested the second one as single as well without issues and without any changes to the voltage.
    But running it in SLI mode causes crashes, i personally thought because they are both overclocked and running in SLI that they need a bit more voltage. I've read this in a post as well and it surely solved my SLI crashing issues.

  • N560GTX-Ti SLI Problem

    Basically I just got two of these cards today, hooked them all up but the second one doesn't seem to be being detected. It's on and plugged in, but there are no SLI options in the Nvidia Control Panel and the Device manager only shows the one driver installed. I've got the Big Bang XPower as my motherboard and the cards are installed in slots 2 and 5.

    Quote from: Hydrohs on 18-February-11, 01:59:34
    Tested each one in both slot 2 and slot 5, everything worked. I installed drivers again when I was only using slot 5, then when I put both cards back in I booted up and I could do SLI. Shut down to screw them in, booted back up, no more SLI. No idea what happened in between.
    EDIT: It would appear that standing the case upright is the issue. Works fine when it's laying on its side.
    well looks like they isn't filled well into the pci-e slots or the sli connector is not well filled[not make a good contact]
    since they worked fine, before you shutdown to screw them and after that no longer works.

    If i have usb connected to the motherboard USB ports on the back the system will not boot, hangs at the MSI splash screen.  If I remove the two usb plugs from the back, after the boot I can do what ever I want and it is like normal, this just happens on boot up.  From reading some of the threads,, I have all the onboard usbs connected to something or the other, one to the D-bracket, and i have two usbs up front.  Nothing is in them but they are connected to the board.  Once the system is in windows, i can connect the two usbs i use, and go about my merry way, I even play MOH Airborne on hi settings with no chops or chips,,,smooth as can be.....  kinda of stumped here...... ???  I know someone is going to say "power supply" but aint 750 enough!?  I am thinking about doing the "remove all USB hubs and all references to usb in the control panel" thing that i read someplace here,  but wanted to get a take in this thread before I ventured any further.  OH,, i have the USB legacy [enabaled] in bios (read that in one of the thread also)
    thanks for any help

    Check the number of pins used between te front USB and the motherboard....you should only use 8 pins...not 9!
    Also, try without the smartcard-reader, I have seen them giving troubles before.
    Ok this is what I got, I removed the one wire from my USB header (of the 3 only one header had the extra wire) only Leaving 8 connected, result; no change.  the multi card reader is connected to usb1 header pins 1-3-5-7 (bottom row of pins) moved and connected to the top row of pins ( 2-4-6-8), results; no change.  Totally disconnected the multi card reader, results; boots like a champ. 
    Now what?  I like my multi card reader.  any other options to get everything working?  the only thing i can think of is use a hard wire and run it out the back of the case, and "dangle" it, and plug it in when i need it, but that seems so "wrong"....
    thanks for the help thus far....
