Problems with GeForce FX5200

Hello guys,
I bought a MSI GeForce FX5200 TD-128 last year. It's working well, but I can't update its driver, that's why I'm using the driver that comes in the CD with the video card.
I bought Half-Life 2 yeasterday, and the game recommends me to update the video driver in order to have the best graphic quality, but when I install the most up to date driver, the image becomes the worst of all...
I've tried to update the DirectX aswell, but it didn't work...
Now I'm using the DirectX 9.0C
Can someone help me??
Thanks !!

So i recommend you to download this version: 61.77 those are very stable and you get a good image quality, becasue if you install the latest drivers you could see a very good image but for the sake of performance, and also you could try installing several drivers and check them and stay with the one that you liked most.  And remember also that each vid card it's unique! you can't compare them even if they are identical.
are doing overclocking? did you installed the chipset drivers before to reinstall the vid card drivers?

  • Problem with Geforce 2 MX400 Tv Out

    Okay. I know this card is old to new standards, but I am having a problem with the TV Out.
    This is the setup.
    AMD XP1700+ machine running Win ME using an 8meg ATI Rage XL PCI as the primary video card. The secondary video card is the Geforce which is running Powerpoint in secondary mode for Worship Services at our church. Our church has grown and has decided to place powerpoint televisions on the stage for the singers. I am trying to get the Geforce TV Out to work, but when I go into the advanced settings, I cannot select the output device to TV Out, it is grayed out. All I can have it on is Analog Output.
    I have also tried this with the Geforce as the Primary adapter as well. Same problem. I have downloaded the drivers many times, and removed the card, removed the drivers, same problem.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!
    Thanks in advance
    John Baltimore.

    have you tried the autodetect button? the tv must be on (and connected to the tv-out) for this to work.

  • Graphics Corruption in Some Apps - Problem with Geforce GT750

    Hi
    I am recently facing a graphics corruption problem with my 2013 MBPr. Yesterday I noticed that the window that shows the mail in Mail.app suddenly showed just some noise (just some strange colors). I restarted the app and it was gone. Then I installed a game named "Tales from the Borderlands". On the menu of the game I noticed the corruption again. Every time I would exit and rerun the game, the distortion would randomly change. Here are some examples:
    The problem appeared throughout the game too.
    Then I forced "Integrated Only" using a gfxCardStatus to use Intel Iris Pro instead of Geforce GT750. I started the game and the problem was gone. I tried some more times again by switching GPUs and every time I noticed that the problem is with Geforce GT750 and Intel Iris Pro has no problem.
    Any ideas what is causing the problem and what should I do? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Tormirez,
    I can't believe my eyes.. I actually was afraid this might happen.
    Since I've been following the 2011 MBP forum after i had my MBP repaired (reflow by someone near Antwerp, Belgium), I've been learning some specific things about the very likely nature of these GPU issues.
    All these issues seem to be related to the replacement of leaded solder by nearly pure tin solder + not soldering according to the best profile (temperature vs time).
    The factor of time saving = money saving may very well play a role here.
    When you consider the nature of that leaded solder problem versus the soldering profiles, it's not hard to imagine that the problem isn't just in the 2011 model range, but may actually have started FROM that range...! I've already heard that some 2012 models also failed in a similar way.
    It may all be quite logical; tin solder needs a roughly 60ºC higher temperature to get into full liquid state then leaded solder.
    As the cheapest way to produce boards is probably rolling entire boards through ovens, melting the parts on it, it would require very precise monitoring of temperatures UNDER the CPU and GPU, to be SURE you have a full flow going on.
    But, at the same time, as you're cooking ALL components around 240ºC, they may have chosen not to stay at this temperature long enough. Or, maybe they stop at 240ºC, while 242ºC might be the minimum required temperature to guarantee full flow.
    Etc.. It's a very complicated mix of factors that determines if small or large batches of board could contain errors at all or not.
    But it may at least be called "bizarre" that these solder errors are found in tens of thousands 2011 MBPs, but also in 2012 models, and in the PS4 and also other brand Windows PCs!!
    If you want to test your GPU hard, download GpuTest OSX x64 0.7.0 from ( geeks3d . com / gputest ) and run the FurMark based stress test on HD resolution for 30-60 mins straight, then turn your machine off completely for 15-30 mins (until it's really cold, put it down on some cold stone floor might help), then repeat several times.
    If the same problem would be hidden in there as in the 2011 models, this is the way to get it triggered soon.
    If you ask me, this might be the first report of the same problem in the 2013 series.....
    Question; do you game a lot? If you answer yes, then it would pretty much make a connection to this similar problem I think!
    I'm curious about the results of the stress test!

  • Dual G5 with Geforce fx5200 running 2 -24 inch displays?

    I have a dual G5 with the apple 23" display on a Geforce fx5200 card. It runs the 23" plus a 17" Samsung quite well in Logic Pro. I need more real estate though. Question is will the Geforce run an HP 24" to replace the Samsung 17"
    Thanks.

    I run Aperture in dual screen mode with a full screen browser on one monitor and and a mirrored image of the selected image on the other monitor.
    This doesn't work with dual video cards. Here's a work around
    The temporary solution:
    1. Arrange the monitors in system preferences so the primary monitor is on the left.
    2.Set the viewer mode to "Browser and Viewer"
    3. Set the monitors in Aperture to show multiple on the main viewer and "desk top" on the secondary monitor.
    4. Toggle the browser to the right hand side of the expanded image, with the inspector on the right hand side of that.
    5. Stretch the view screen to cover both screens.
    6. Resize the bowser and the inspector to cover the right hand screen.
    This now simulates "Browser Only" with mirrored second screen. As long as the "expanded image" is on the primary screen Aperture adjustment inspector works and the images are stable with full histograms.
    Apple engineering implies that a dual mini display port card is in the works.

  • Minor problem with geforce ti4200 128 mb

    Ok... The problem I get with this card is that, you know when you go to
    display properties > advanced > Geforce > overlay controls
    you get to change the brightness and stuff, when I do, it doesnt work. Now I tried this with my TNT2 card and it works fine so I don't think its any hardware issue... Anyways, help is appreciated thanks!
    BTW, I am running in windows XP and have the latest detonator drivers and graphics drivers.

    Hi,
    I have the same card and have used it with no problems whatsoever on an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe and an MSI K7N420, MSI K7N2G-ILSR and my current ABIT board without any problems with 3DTurDo or in any games. I have seen the  "nv4disp.dll" before on other systems sporadically but it was usually cured by a proper removal of the current nVidia drivers and installation of the latest drivers, however, I have not used the latest nVidia drivers for that card. I have stuck with later versions from 41.09 - 45.XX only. It is most likely a combination of drivers, improper configuration, driver istallation and removal, or possibly the game itself could be buggy. That's a tough one to pin down.
    Give my post at the top of the VGA forum a read  "Alternative to MSI drivers with overclock settings too!"
    Do yourself a favor and stay away from MSI's drivers, I have seen more problems with them as they make changes to install and uninstall routines that are questionable, not to mention they test them in such a way I also might find questionable as well. nVidia's site has an archive of past drivers and so does Driver Heaven.
    If you decide to reformat again, I recommend installing service packs, then chipset drivers, then VGA drivers.
    Good luck

  • New power supply did't fix problem with geforce 4400

    I continue to get flashing on the monitor and locking up problems with my new MSI geforce 4 ti 4400 card despite installing the latest Nvidia driver and new Compuserve 500W power supply (30A on the +3.3).  Everything I've read here said it was probably my old 350W power supply.  Not so.  What do I try now?  
    Here's my specs:
    P4 2.0
    Soyo Ps4 Dragon Ultra
    1 gb ddr ram
    80gb WD hard drive
    Soundblaster Live 5.1
    Windows XP
    Compuserve 500W ps
    Viewsonic VA 800 monitor
    I really need help!

    I had similar problems when I tried to use an MSI GF4 Ti4600 and Windows XP Professional locks up at the splash screen. I also tried a Leadtek GF4 Ti4600 and got the same results. I had already upgraded my power supply from a Antec TruePower 330 watts to 480 but to no avail.
    Turns out the problem was caused by my brand new Gigabyte GA-8IEXP rev. 1.2 motherboard not fully supporting AGP 2.0 voltage requirements required by the power hungry GF4 Ti4600 cards though their tech support would not confirm nor deny this. Even upping the core and AGP voltages via the BIOS didn't help.
    I then bought an Intel D845EBG2L motherboard (that stated AGP 2.0 compliance in the manual in addition to AGP 4X support) and the GF4 Ti4600 ran great  :P

  • Problems with my FX5200

    I got this PC lately:
    MSI 865PE Neo2
    Intel P4 2.6 C Ghz
    120 GB Hitachi HDD 7200  RPM
    MSI FX5200 128 MB DDR RAM VGA
    512 DDR 333 RAM
    etc....
    Well The problem is that when i am using the pc , while playing a game or not , the computer by itself restarts
    does anyone know why?
    I have Windows XP with all its updates on my pc (including Service Pack 1)
    Thank you

    Brand of RAM?  Power Supply spec's?   Try disabling the "automatically restart" feature in control panel -> system -> advanced -> startup and recovery settings.  Is it blue screening when it restarts?

  • Problems with Geforce 210 on Thinkcentre M58

    Hi all,
    as part of the upgrade process of my Thinkcentre M58-7360 I bought a Geforce 210 based video card:
    http://www.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images-SRW.tpl-VGA&product_...
    At the boot the system emits two "beeps" and then Windows seems to normally load.
    I said "seems" because during the whole boot there is no video signal and the monitor stays black.
    I have also played a bit with BIOS settings (explicitely set the PCI express card as primary video adaptor) but no change.
    Last, if I remove the card everything works fine again.
    How can I troubleshoot the issue?
    P.S.: I preferred an Nvidia over AMD solution hoping that it would have worked out of the box, but unfortunaltely it's not the case.

    I should test your way for using remote desktop but on my PC (8381-CTO) the screen keep staying black *after* I've installed the driver. The problem seems to come from audio drivers. I have to  (and I had to) upgrade about one undred PC and in some PC I've  not experienced any problem while on other PCs the only way to stop  troubles is to remove the graphics card (zotac geforce 210).
    Any suggestion?

  • Rotate Option for Dell 2408WFP on a G5 with GeForce FX5200

    I have a G5 with a GeForce 5200 and a Dell 2408WFP 24" swivel monitor. On the G4 I was using, an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro card.
    The G5 does not show a "Rotate" option in the display preference pane. Is there an update I can do to enable rotation?
    If not, can the ATI card be made to fit into the G5?
    If not, what is my least expensive option?
    Thanks,
    Majrtom

    The slots don't seem to line up. Am I missing something?
    You are trying to install the Radeon card in place of the Geforce, correct?
    There is only one AGP slot.
    The other slots are PCI, and will not accept an AGP card.

  • Performance Problems with GeForce FX 5600 256mb Video Card

    I recently purchased the GeForce FX 5600 VTD 256mb video card to replace my old ATi Radeon 8500 64mb card.  I'm running an AMD 2800XP+ on an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, with 1gb of PC 2100 on Windows XP Pro.
    I installed the latest drivers (from the EGA site) and ran 3DMark 2001 SE.  My score for the old card (a 64mb card) was about 9200.  My score for the new 256mb card is only 8700.  My roommate has a GeForce 4 TI4600 128mb video card.  We put his card in my computer, and I scored 11117.  According to PCStats.com, the FX 5600 128mb version scored about 11000.
    I've tried everything I can think of to ensure my video card is working properly,  but I still get low scores.  I don't know if I'm missing something somwhere, but there has to be a way to get more performance out of the video card.  Can anyone help me out here?

    Yeah, I've ran the driver cleaner after changing each driver.  And I've tried several drivers with the new card.  I've even changed the clock settings a bit, which has helped bring the scores up to around 9000.  Still way off from the GeForce 4 or the 128mb version of the 5600.

  • Having a problem with GeForce 4 Ti4600

    Hey I recently got an MSI geForce 4 Ti 4600 card.  I installed it correctly according to the instructions and everything, but it's not working right.  After I turned the computer, there were little purple blotches all over the screen.  I also get some error message that says i have a corrupt file and I should run Checkdisk.
    I have a Dell Dimension 4300 and here's what's in it:
    Pentium 4 1.7 GHZ
    512 MB RAM
    MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4600
    Soundblaster Live! Soundcard
    Windows XP
    If anyone has any idea whats wrong I could use some help!  Also if you'd need any more info about my system to help, I can find out... just tell me what you need to know.
    Thanks!!!

    BiggieTheSpaceman,
    Did you try putting the Vid Card you pulled out back in?
    If you have a corrupted file on Bootup, do you get into Windows or do you error out before getting in? Have you tried booting into Safe Mode yet?
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • GeForce FX5200 - big problem

    Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
    1. I can't even start my OS. It's the graphic card problem for sure, because when I'm changing it for any other card it works fine. Ok, so when my OS (XP) is loading, my monitor just turns off and the led is blinking. All what can I do is reset or turn of the computer. There was no fan on the vga when I bought it (2 years ago). It was working excellent. And now I can't even run my OS.
    Does anyone of you know what's the problem ?
    2. Second problem - tvout. When I connect my tv, screen on tv is weird, I don't know how to describe it   but it looks like the colours are brightened. I can't do anything with it, I was trying some setup but nothing works. It was working good too, but it screwed up much more sooner then my first problem.  :D

    you can try, use fail safe mode, pressing F8 when booting, then set to start in failsafe mode with vga, then if you can get in to windows then go to video properties and change the refresh frecuency to 60hz in any resolution and restart, if do not work do it again in fail safe mode (no vga mode) if the last thing you see is the windows logo with the loading bar then the problem is monitor out of refresh values, that turn of the monitor, another thing may be if you conect a tv like a monitor without your pc monitor, sometimes the main monitor is set to tv so when start windows the pc monitor turn off, if you can see something in your tv then you must change to "clone view" the multidisplay setting
    ok mi english is not good too so i hope to help you in some way
    true but that dont explain --> "I was able to start an OS, but in the game it crashed again."
