Problem with my FX5600-VTD256

I have a K7N2 Delta ILSR mb and I'm using the MSI fx5600-vtd256 Video card. When I play Halo or GTA Vice City the cut seens look good but when the games starts all the buildings and streets are all mixed togetter. I'm using DX9. Is there a setting in BIOS I should be using or is there a better Nvidia vga driver. Has any one have a fix for this.
Thanks, Ron.

FX5600-VTD256 VGA adapter problems

I have a 875P Neo-FIS2R mainboard, and have recently fitted a FX5600-VTD256 VGA card. Ever since my screen freezes and intermittently my monitor blanks and looks for all intense and purposes like Power saver has put the monitor into standby, but the only way I can recover from this is to reset the Pc. I have installed the card as per the instructions.
Please can anyone help?
thanks

Increase your DDR voltage to 2.7v ~ 2.8v and make sure that you do clean un-installation of your old VGA drivers and freshly re-install the drivers for the new card.

DVI-problem with old card (GF fx5600)

My old AGP-card fried, so I got a used FX5600-VTDR128 from a friend (who never had any problems with it) and plugged it in. It seems to run fine on analog D-sub, but when I try to use the DVI-port the dark parts of the screen is filled with green flickering vertical lines (sort of, hard to describe), and the whole screen occasionly flickers, as if updating resolution. This happens as soon as the boot screen appears when the computer is turned on, so I guess it's not a driver problem. sometimes it dissapears if I fiddle with the resolution for a bit, but it returns the next time whenever i turn the screen off and back on again.
I know the card is old, but it would be nice if I got it to work anyway. Any suggestions?

Starting to get upset with new FX5600

OK - I bought a FX5600 yesterday and things seemed OK with a bit of crashing which I figured were teething problems, maybe with drivers (apart from the software thing I've whinged about on another thread). Then I found out that there were these new Detonator drivers out (44.03) so I got them. Then the brown stuff really hit the spinning thing. I can't play anything for more than 30 minutes without a crash now. 'Daikatana' now plays worse than it did with my old GeForce2, even though when I first installed the new card I was bossing UT2003 with full effects. I can't even revert to the old drivers because the install program doesn't recognise my GeForceFX as an NVIDIA chip!!
I figure it might be to do with IRQ type scary stuff. This is what my device manager shows (repeated lines e.g. IRQ 5 are just as they are shown on screen):
00 System Timer
01 Standard 101/102 keyboard
02 Programmable interrupt controller
03 Communications port (COM2)
04 Communications port (COM1)
05 Conexant PCI modem enumerator
05 VIA TECH 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
05 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
05 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
06 Standard floppy disk controller
07 EPSON Printer Port (LPT1)
08 System CMOS/real time clock
09 VIA TECH 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
09 VIA TECH 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
09 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
09 SCI IRQ Used by ACPI Bus
10 VIA USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller
10 CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio device [my onboard sound]
10 ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
11 VIA TECH 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
11 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600
12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse
13 Numeric data processor
14 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE controller
14 Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
15 VIA Bus Master PCI IDE controller
15 Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)
Whew. That took a long time to type. Now, I don't understand IRQ stuff beyond what an interrupt is. I certainly don't know which things are safe to be on the same IRQ slot. But it seems to me that all those repeats can't be right - can they? Mainly though, the graphics card is sharing an IRQ with two other things - is this bad?
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Is there a problem with my IRQs and if so, what on earth do I do to fix it?
Many, many thanks in advance.

Ross,
APIC is enabled in the BIOS. You do not want to enable since it would mean you would need to install your OS again in order for it to function correctly. On Motherboards with APIC the default is usually enabled. Seeing you do not have it enabled and I am guessing you did not disable it in your BIOS. this makes we wonder if you are running Win98SE or WinME since they do not use APIC? (The only thing you missed listing above in your first post.)
Here is a little more info direct from Microsoft on APIC:
Key Benefits of the I/O APIC
Take Care,

MSI FX5600XT problems with agp 4x and other stuff

Well
I just bought myself a MSI FX5600XT-TD128
I had a Hercules (guillemot) GEFORCE2 PRO (clock higher than GTS and slower than Ultra).
I'm not sure if my previous videocard (the gf2pro) would run stable @ 4x or run @ 4x at all.. I know my motherboard is capable of agp 4x, the old videocard I am not sure it was..
WEll, I bought the msi, plugged in and no post.
so I take the card out, put it back in, posted... 5mins later, crash..
No post..
So I put the old videocard in (gf2pro) and disable agp4x in the bios, plug the msi back in and running so far stable...
My motherboard is an IWILL KK266 (via kt133a).. very nice motherboard running on a not-so-compatible-with-it athlon xp 1600+ (1.4ghz)
The mobo problems with the cpu (processor) are limited to having to press 'reset' switch to boot (or else pc will power up but no boot).
Well my question is, is the agp 4x problem related to this msi video card in general, or to a faulty video card I *might* have (so I can exchange this one) or is it related to the motherboard???
Also, can someone explain to me the diferences between FX5600, FX5600XT AND FX5600 ULTRA?
Also, explain to me please the 'V,T,D,R' models differences too?
And Last but not least, what is the best driver for the fx5600xt and winxp??
I'm running msi latest (53.03, I installed it just to test em), I had nvidia's 52.16 prior to that.
Thanks for all ur help

This can also be from a weak PSU, which would be even further taxed by adding the power hungry FX card.
Might need a stronger PSU.

Nothing dumb about the question. Read this: http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=cache:tP64cLviX0oJ:www.ocfaq.com/forum_new/showthread.php%3Ft%3D72+nvflash+%22bad+BIOS%22&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that when i boot with the FX 5600 the monitor doesnt retrieve a signal and it goes into power save mode. Is this good or bad? Will i still be able to flash it?
A bad thing. But the card is still flashable no matter what the condition of the BIOS within. For example, have a looksy here

New nvidia driver problem with MOHAAs

I installed the latest driver from NVIDIA (v 66.93). Everything seemed ok.
When I run Medal of Honor Spearhead, the display flickers off and on. The current driver version I am using is 61.41 with no problems.
My directx version is 9.0c.
My video card is MSI FX5600 TD128
Any ideas what causes this problem whilst running Mohhas ??
Obviously, I can use my current driver. But I would like to know what is causing the problem with the new driver.

Nice catch KaptCrunch!

Medal of Honor Under Windows XP / Windows 2000
Problem
The Electronic Arts game Medal of Honor uses a hard coded buffer to parse
the OpenGL extension string. This can cause a system crash under Windows
XP and Windows 2000.
Workaround
NVIDIA has implemented Medal of Honor application detection to work
around this extension string crash.

[GeForce 6] Odd issue with my 6600 VTD256

Sorry for hijacking your thread yesterday Twigg.
My system specs are:
MSI Neo 648F Mobo
1Gb (512 x 2) PC3200 Kingston RAM
MSI 6600 256MB VTD (AGP)
1 Seagate 80Gb HDD
SoundBlaster Live 128
3 Com 100Mbit NIC
OS: Win XP SP2
I used the MSI Live Update Utility. Mobo's BIOS was flashed, XP all updates installed. I downloaded MSI driver 77.6? for the 6600. Here is what happens.
With the original 6600 drivers(66.xx) on the CD, games work fine etc. If I install any other newer MSI driver, games work fine, BUT Real Player, DivX, Windows Media Player 10 use 99% of the CPU. I rolled back to the 6600 CD Driver and both games and videos now play. Has anyone found a work around for this? I would really like to be able to use the newest drivers. Any help will be most appriciated.

I Have same problem with NX6600 VTD256
My system:
MSI KT4V
768MB RAM PC266
MSI NX6600 VTD256 AGP
1x Samsung 120GB + 1x WD 40GB
SB Live! 5.1
OS Win XP Pro SP2 + all updates
All drivers are newest, exept VGA, of course.
Last working VGA driver was 71.25 on CD provided with VGA card. Any newer driver cause problem posted by mancuso. That problem is with ANY video ( AVI, MPG, RM, DWD..... ) in ANY player ( Mediaplayer, BSplayer, RealPlayer..... ) or "In-game players" ( for examle intro in "Silent Huner III" )

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.

Problem with threads and camera.

Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                    Thread.yield();
                notifyAll();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    this.wait();
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
       Object o = new Object();
       display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while(!performing.isShown()){
                    Thread.yield();
               synchronized(o) {
                  o.notify();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    synchronized(o) {
                       o.wait(1);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();

Problem with threads hanging

We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).
=============================================================================================

String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there. Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this.
We're using the following memory options:
-ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
-verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
Thanks!

Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

Dear Friends:
I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
I use something like this:
LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
myTask.start();
myTask.join();
Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
What's wrong?

Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating

Problem with threads and/or memory

I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
(note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)

i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
Running the jar using the command line outside
Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses.
