  • Msi6565-010 GNB MAX FISR/problems with ati graphics card 8500dv

    For some reason my 8500Dv card doesn't work with this motherboard .It knocks out the onboard devices everytime I install this card. The card works great in my other computer. Any idea why this card isn't compatible. I get a long beep and two short beeps.  I know the card is good though. The bios seems to be diturbed by this card

    Try latest Bios?

  • Problem with ati radeon in 4530s

    hi ....i have problem with ati radeon graphic in hp 4530s ....
    when i install graphic driver apear black screen and i dont see anything ....
    i change windows and load that properly but when install graphic driver black screen apear again.. 
    driver download is corectly i download driver from hp this problom is not from driver..but i dont what's problem
    Please Help Me....Thnx
    Sorry my english language  is weak...:manvery

    Nimestä päätellen oletan että oot varmaan suomesta  
    Eli suomeksi sanottuna osnavi sanoo että ongelma voi johtua liian heikkotehoisesta virtalähteestä, sitä ei voi säätää tehokkaammaksi mistään biosista vaan jos se on alitehoinen pitää hommata uusi tehokkaampi virtalähde. Eli nuo arvot löytyy todennäköisesti sen virtalähteen kupeessa olevasta tarrasta. Se 12 volttia pitäisi olla vähintään 12 amppeeria että se riittäisi kunnolla radeonin näytönohjaimelle. Yleensä 300 wattinen poweri on riittävä, eli siinä tarrassa pitäisi olla maininta ainakin siitä kokonaistehosta, esim total output 300w tai jotain vastaavaa. Vika voi aivan hyvin olla jossain muuallakin, mutta yleensä täällä aina ensimmäiseksi syylliseksi arvellaan virtalähdettä, itselläni kyllä toisessa koneessa radeon 9200se näytönohjain toimii vaikka virtalähde on vain 200 wattinen. Niin ja muuten... eikö olisi helpompaa kysyä neuvoa ensin joltain suomenkieliseltä sivustolta  

  • Problems with ATI drivers and gnome3?

    I've tried to install gnome3 off of the gnome-unstable repo (sudo pacman -S gnome-unstable/gnome gnome-unstable/gdm I'm assuming that's the proper command). However, when GDM starts, my screen just flashes a cursor, goes blank, turns off, and repeats. Is there a problem with ATI drivers or is the package just not working at all right now?

    I'm also having troubles with Catalyst and gnome3 (I'm ussually in i3 btw) just playing with it tho. Seems to detect my graphics as 'VESA: JUNIPER" which probably means it's using some sort of fallback, eitherway it's not very functional and messes with my X server a bit
    EDIT: I can get into gnome, but there's a lot of flickering doing anything, should proabaly check for bugs on their tracker
    EDIT2: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 89#p913189 <--- looks like that might be gaining some traction, something to watch
    EDIT3: This bug and This Bug might be relevent, not too recent tho
    And another one
    so yeah..... ATI

  • Embarrassing problem with ATI HD 5850 (Noise + Drivers)

    Hi all. First of all let me warn you that I'm French so sometimes my english will probably be inaccurate.
    I experience some problems with my graphic card, a MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850, my screen is a Samsung Syncmaster 2233rz.
    The drivers I got with my box was the 9.12 version (something like that).
    Here are the games I installed :
    Quake 2
    Quake 4
    Quake Live
    Killing Floor
    Painkiller
    Bioshock
    Fear
    Fear 2
    Starcraft
    I did some tests with some of them.
    With the basic drivers for the CD of the box :
    Quake 2 : Doesn't appear in fullscreen mode, or with awful colors, but if I put the opengl option in the video settings then it's ok.
    Quake 4 : Seems alright, but I had to choose a particular resolution or the game would just appear in a small windows in the center of the screen.
    Starcraft : The game is horrible, appears in a small window in the upright corner of the screen and with terrible colors.
    Quake Live : Seems ok but difficult to find a good resolution so that the image takes the whole screen.
    Fear 2 : Seems alright...
    Now here comes what disturbs me :
    Fear : Horrible sound when I enter the menu that comes from the graphic card. Like a whistling sound, like a teapot getting hot.
    Painkiller : Same horrible sound, even louder.
    This sound was terrible and I wanted to get the window streched out so that Starcraft and other games would appear in fullscreen mode automatically (I couldn't enable it in ATI Catalyst).
    So I installed drivers 10.6 :
    Quake Live : Problem with some colors, I heard 10.5 and 10.6 wasn't compatible with Quake Live...
    Okay...
    So I installed 10.4 :
    Possibility to make the screen strech in the Catalyst menu so Starcraft was ok.
    Fear : Terrible sound in the menu and game + the game crashes (frozen screen) after 30 seconds of gaming.
    Painkiller : Terrible sound in the menu, didn't even play.
    Quake 4 : Was pretty much okay, only little annoying sound, but crashes after 30 seconds of gaming (same as Fear).
    Quake Live : Ok.
    Quake 2 : Was pretty much okay, I could play in fullscreen with the opengl thing.
    Fear 2 : All seems ok ( !!!!????).
    So...I was pissed off because of Fear and Quake 4 crashes.
    Then I went back to the 9.12 version :
    Quake 4 : Unlaunchable (LOL, it was ok before I installed 10.6 and 10.4...?????????????????????)
    Quake 2 : Impossible to go in OpenGl mode (Was possible previously...?????????????????????)
    Fear : Horrible sound but the game doesn't crash it seems.
    Fear 2 : Seems ok (good game ^^)
    Starcraft : The game is horrible, appears in a small window in the upright corner of the screen and with terrible colors. -> Impossibility to activate the automatic stretching again it seems.
    Painkiller : Horrible sound, didn't try to play.
    Quake Live : Ok.
    What can I do ? I'm currently downloading the 10.1 patch. I want to play all the games, not 3 out of 10 with each patch,
    and what is this horrible noise my graphic card seems to do when I play some games (not even all...) ? I try to put the fans at maximum with ATI Overdrive (smthing like that) and that sound wasn't here, so where does it comes from...that's a mistery.
    If somebody can be of any help I'll be really happy. I have no problem with the sound if that doesn't mean that the card has a problem and will probably explode one day, but the crashing sound and OpenGl problems and all...
    What would you advise to that I get a perfect intallation of the 10.1 version ?
    P.S : Thanks, of course !

    I just stopped the test because it was 52 minutes already...
    I did the test with render open GL 3, now I'm going to do it with open Gl 2
    I chose full screen 1680 x 1050 and MSAA 8x
    Maximum temp : 64°, mini 44°, it stayed between 60 and 63 in general.
    Average fps 3xx, maximum 41x, mini 12x.
    Well your VGA is fine then
    Quote
    Now here is what I experience when I play those games :
    Quake 4 : Crash after 30 seconds - 1 minute of playing, grey screen with green bars or just frozen screen. I have to alt + tab and use ctrl + alt + del to close it.
    FEAR : Huge noise from the graphic card in the menus, like a teapot whistling, and screen freezes after 30 seconds of playing : alt + tab -> The display driver AMD driver has stopped responding but have been recovered blablabla".
    Bioshock : After the intro movie, I hear the sound but the screen is black permanently, I have no other solution than reseting my PC.
    Painkiller :  Huge noise from the graphic card in the menus, like a teapot whistling, and screen freezes after 30 seconds of playing : alt + tab -> The display driver AMD driver has stopped responding but have been recovered blablabla".
    Fear 2 : All seems alright.
    Starcraft : Dito.
    Quake Live : Dito.
    Quake 2 : Dito.
    Killing Floor : Dito.
    Look for latest game patches, try different VGA drivers if needs too.
    It's not hardware issue.

  • Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pix

    Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pixels
    I have a Macro 8 core purchased just 4 months ago with the ATI Radeon HD 2600. Just started getting what looks like electrical interference or flickering pixels all over the screen. It gets worse and worse to the point where i see and cant work then clears up for an hour and then comes back.
    If I change the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1600x1200 everything looks fine and the problem goes away.
    Monitor works fine on two other computers, driver is up to date.
    Would like to upgrade at some point just disappointed that I’m already having problems.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful, in the mean time I’ll searching the forums.
    Thanks,

    When you called Applecare or went to a Genius bar were they of no help?

    Hi ashwani26596,
    Let's start by using the HP Support Assistant to check for any updates and drivers to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't work then go your Control Panel and then Programs and Features and uninstall the Catalyst Control Center. Then try installing both the Intel High-Definition Audio Driver and the AMD High-Definition Audio Driver.

  • Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

    If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
    There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
    There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
    The things that i did:
    - Reinstall Windows
    - Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
    - different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
    I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
    Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

    @Enegue ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum.  In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9.  The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine.  It is designed to be fore general use.
    Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.  
    Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site.  They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
    Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

    I hada problem with ATI in my xorg 7 and my solution was to change the xorg.conf driver to ...vesa.
    I don't know if your card supports fglrx but I suspect it may not and the ati-drivers are for that function.
    Just a thought...

  • Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the graphics driver installation for W2k

    I have installed windows 2000 on an A120 the system is fully service packed and up to date before I even begin installing the required drivers I am unable to restart the system. Once I install the drivers as recommended I have problems with the graphics driver as it will not install because it requires a restart and then I am unable to install any new programs that require a restart as the driver has not installed correctly.
    The laptop is a A120 Pro, 1 week old and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support as I have changed the O/S even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop as they supply the drivers.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    the reason the driver is not working is down to a problem with the windows 2000 not having the ability to reboot.
    When you select restart the system appears to power down then stays switched on. Now if I try to install software I get an error saying that the system needs to complete a restart to finish the install of the driver.
    The restart problem happens as soon as win2k is installed as although I have now shipped the laptop to the sales team I have another one which has just had a clean install of win2k without any drivers and the fault is present on this one.
    I am thinking it could be to do with power management but I'm not to sure as I have never come across this as I normally purchase machines which accept just about any O/S.

  • Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. When I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Can this be resolved?

    Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. Took me quite awhile to identify, but when I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Once Firefox recognizes this and reinstalls the 6.0.1 update then severe display driver problems occur causing very erratic display behavior and ultimately rendering the system inoperative. The problem appears to occur within a minute or two after Firefox has been opened and it occurs even if Firefox has been subsequently closed prior to the actual event taking place. I have attempted this 6 times just to ensure that the problem was associated with the 6.0.1 update.

  • [Athlon64] Problem with ATI X200 graphics onboard

    Having problems with the ATI X200 graphics heating up on my system - am relatively a novice, would appreciate any help.
    I have a hp dx5150 system (Athlon 3000+, MSI oem board (MS-7050) with ATI X200 onboard)
    While running games (NFSU, Jedi Academy) - graphics hangs. Sometimes it comes back with a VPU recover message - other times, I have to switch off at mains to reset the system.
    Googled a little, found a number of different forum posts about ATI VPU recover - based on some of these saying that heating could be a possible cause, downloaded speedfan and used it to track the temperatures.
    I get 3 different temperature readings - Temp 1 and 3 are around 40 degrees Celsius. Temp. 2 starts at about 50 degrees, with normal web browsing stays around 55 - 58 even if the system is on for an hour plus. If I run the games, this temperature goes up to 60+ immediately, increases to above 70 (71 / 72) - the VPU recover messages coincide with the temperature going to 70+.
    Questions :
    1) Is this temperature (70+) the cause for the VPU recover? or rather - what should be the allowable temperature range for normal working?
    2) Can the temperature be reduced by using lower settings for the display? I started with 1024x768, 32 bit - tried both 800x600 and 640x480 with lower color bit settings - doesn't seem to be different, but haven't tried these long enough to be sure?
    3) Any other things I can try? Would like to avoid opening the case / adding any hardware (fans etc.) since that would void the warranty - but if there's no other options, will have to then check those out.
    thanks for any help in advance
    Regards

    Ok - some updates - and I'm confused!
    Had a problem using the fan I had since the power adaptor cable didn't work - if I removed the case fan connector and connected there, the fan ran but system shutdown since the case fan reported not running!.
    Next - left the case open, pulled a pedestal fan and directed it to blow on the motherboard.
    Temperature readings dropped - startup temperature in the 45 degree range, max temperature recorded was 58 degrees.
    However, the hanging still occurred, though less frequent - previously would hang every 15 mins or so, this time, ran about 45 mins + before hanging.
    Also experimented with running the aircon in the room with the fan / open case - max temp was at 55 degrees, but hanged once during this trial (about 1.5 hrs total running).
    If heating caused the problem, I shouldn't have had the hanging - all previous occasions, the hanging occurred when temp touched 70 degrees.
    If some other cause - then the drop in the frequency / number of occurrences is puzzling - system performed better with the additional cooling, but not totally trouble free.
    Also saw this post on the forum -
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82279.0
    problem described looks similar, except that I haven't had a BSOD - most often what happens is that the display freezes, sound persists - this happens for about 30 - 45 secs, then screen blanks out and comes back after 10 secs or so. Once in a while the display doesn't come back after blanking out - then I have to hard boot the system (switch off at mains and back on again - the reset / Ctrl Alt Del options dont work.
    Right now, wondering whether to try a PCI - E card - and like the other posting, wondering whether ATI / Nvidia.
    Thanks
