Problems with MSI GeForce 7900 GT/GTO. Please Help!!!

I purchased an MSI GeForce 7900 GT/GTO last summer. At first it was working fine. I would get the occasional automaic restart in the middle of a game, but other than that it was fine. Now, almost a year has past and the product I payed good money for isn't working as it should, to say the least. I get many artifacts in all the games I play. The artifacts are the same in each game, although they more numerous in some then others. The objects in-game are connected by "ropes". There are strange colors on the walls. Sometimes the screen starts flashing different colors and the artifacts become impossible to ignore. I've had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out of a game numerous times only to be greeted with a flashing desktop. Then I have to do a hard restart. It seems that the problems are getting worse as time goes on. The artifacts were not this bad before, but now I can't play 30 min. of any game without having these graphical artifacts. The glitches are worst in the Tomb Raider: Aniversarry demo and Test Drive Unlimited. I also see the artifacts in Half Life 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas. I haven't overclocked my card at all and my fans are working as they should. The temperature of the card is running at 55 degrees at the moment. I believe during games it goes up to around 65 which I don't think is bad. I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers. I sent an email to customer service explaining to them what the problem was. In the email I asked them to email me back as soon as possible to let me know what information to send. I have yet to recieve a reply and its been almost a week. When I payed for the card I didn't expect that it would fall apart in less than a year. This is just outrageous and I am disgusted with the "customer service" that MSI has to offer.
(Some of the artifacts, such as the flashing colors, couldn't be captured in a screenshot)

+3.3V/30A     +5V/45A     +12V1/18A
have a try with better one, your VGA required at lease +26A on +12V.
get a decent PSU, single rail with high amperes on +12V (30A or more are recommended)
read here:
PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth
Is your problem caused by your PSU?
Good PSU recommendation:
http://www.pcpower.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=S61EPS&view=techspecs  Silencer 610 EPS12V llarge single rail +12V @ 49A)
other good suggestion can be found here:

  • Problem with MSI Geforce FX 5200 & Westinghouse LCM-22W2

    I've tried a bunch of different drivers and the highest resolution I can get displayed on this monitor is 1440x900. it's native resolution is one step higher, 1680x1050. Anyone have any ideas as to why my card refuses to display anything higher than this, even tho the latest drivers i have and all MSI's information specifically states that it should be capable of doing so?
    Thanks,
    -John

    here's my specs - if i'm missing anything important let me know.
    MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
    Athlon XP 2100+ (overclocked, recognized as 2700+)
    MSI Geforce FX 5200 VTD128
    1 GB RAM
    Win XP Home, SP2 completely up to date
    The Nvidia drivers are version 6.14.10.9371 released on 10/22/06 - I had a newer version but they didn't fix any problems, at this point i'm honestly not sure why I went back to this version :P - I had the absolute latest version from Nvidia's site, which the release notes specifically stated supported the Non-traditional 1680x1050 resolution, and that the FX5200 was supported by these drivers. Still didn't work.
    The GPU Bios is 4.34.20.23.08
    Also, upon startup my system was kinda hanging and I would get a notice that SW20.exe had crashed. I disabled sw20.exe and sw24.exe from starting up when the PC did and have no problems. It's not liek I miss them, cus I never used the overclocking functions of the graphics card anyway.
    Originally XP was recognizing my monitor as a "Plug and play" monitor. The manual says this:
    "VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the LCD monitor."
    Right now the monitor is running with a custom inf file that PowerStrip (Which I downloaded from a link I found here) created for it. Westinghouse has no drivers or anything remotely helpful on their website.
    Also, I'm using a Dual-link DVI cable, the monitor also has a VGA input.

  • Having a big problem with my 6 day old macbook, please help!

    My macbook was working fine, I haven't had much of a chance to install the hardware that came with it until tonight though. I was starting to install the first disk that came with my macbook, when I saw that it would take over 3 hours to install. SInce I need to go to bed early I decided to cancel and figured I could start tomorrow after work.
    Well, I turned my mac back on to see if it was still alright, and my mac hd is missing off the desktop, it doesn't even show the main toolbar/taskbar that's across the top of the screen unless I'm in safari. A message keeps coming up that says spotlight quit unexpectedly. I tried hitting all three options (ignore, report, and restart) different times and the window still keeps coming up.
    I put the disk back in my computer to see if I could just start to install it again but the computer isn't even recognizing that there is a disk in there.
    PLEASE HELP ME!! This is a brand new computer and I can't afford for it to break.

    I hope you invested in AppleCare. It extends your warranty for three years and also gives you three years of phone support. MacBooks come ready to use, as far as I know. The discs that come with it contain software, not "hardware" are provided in case of problems. Take your MacBook back to the Applestore and they will take care of the problem. If it is unfixable, they will replace your MacBook, but you only have fifteen days, after which, they will repair your MacBook, but not replace it (unless it is totally FUBAR) Your sales person should have explained all this to you. Good Luck, and welcome to Mac world.

  • Problem with my ipods audio!! Please help!

    When I play any audio on my ipod, it usually only comes through one earbud. Even if the headphones are brand new, and in perfect working order. My brother has a perfect working set of headphones, and when he uses them with his ipod, they work perfectly. Then when I plug them into my ipod, the sound only comes through 1 earbud (the right side). Then if I lightly pinch to the upper right of the click wheel (right under the screen), it will start to work. But I sometimes have to pinch in different places. What could be the problem???? Do I have to send it in to be repaired? Please help!!!

    Try a 3rd party site and you can either have it fixed or buy the part and fix it yourself:

    or Google for more.

  • Problem with I-Trigue 3400 (static)! Please help!

    Alright, I bought my first set of I-Trigue 3400s about 2 weeks ago. Less than a few hours after using them, static started to come through the right speaker. This would happen intermittently for the next 2 days before I decided to exchange them. I was told it must of been a manufacturing defect and not to worry.
    Well, I got a 2nd set of the I-Trigues to replace my first set. Everything has been swell for the past 2 weeks until last night. Last night and today I am once again getting static over my speakers. I tried fiddeling with the wires thinking it might be a loose connection and I also tried shutting off my computer and any nearby electronic devices. Unfortunately, none of my attempts have resolved the issue. This time the static is coming out of both speakers, although it is really bad and loud with the right speaker. I tried switching the left/right plugs around for the speakers, and this just made the louder static come out of the left speaker instead of the right one..
    PLEASE HELP! My speakers haven't even lasted me two weeks!! And this is the 2nd set of 3400s I buy!!!!
    btw, I've already sent for my rebate, so I don't think I can exchange my speakers for the THIRD time!

    Hey! I've got the same problem with the same kind of speakers! When im listening to something volume is coming down and after a some time its coming back to its previous level! Coming back to its normal level can be forced by turning the speakers on and off! thats all i've discovered...
    i also heard that some of creative speakers have kind of (f**k i dont know the word in english :P ) which works like that: when subwoofer is hot it automatially turns the volume lower to save your speakers from burning form hot :P or something like this :P
    hmm... what i discovered that is no matter what i connect as source of music! effect of volume is the same
    or maby you discovered the reason of this?
    ps.
    sory for my very unperfect english...

  • HT1414 I am having a problem with a black screen.. Please HELP

    I am having black screen issues. Have tried all the resets and no luck. I hear it but cant see anything. I called support and they said pay more money for it to get resolved. I cant see paying money for something i dont ffeel i caused. I left it charging and went out for several hours and came back to a black screen now its gonna cost 149.99 for telephone support that may or may not resolve the issue. Funny the first time I called them it started working again andthe price to get support at that time was 119.99 then they proceeded argue with me that it was not fixed and i would have to pay them to fix it. The darn thing is only 8 months old never been scratched dropped or abused in any way. Someone please help me get his apple ipad working for my daughter. This is her fun she doesnt do much else and i cant seem to figure out what is wrong with it...It is still under warranty and they say just to send it in is going to cost 99.99. I feel im being taken advantage of by the support comapny apple uses....
    Thanks for any feedback

  • Problem with XP/Vista Network...please help

    Hi.  I have been trying all day to configure my new network.  I am using a wired wrt54g on a vista pc and using a wmp54g wireless adapter on my xp pc.  I can connect to the internet from both pc's so the network connection is there.  The problem is that the two pc's cannot see each other?!  For about 10 minutes they were both on the map but when I tried to share files and a printer I lost it.  I cannot get them to see each other now no matter what I try.  Please help.  I am new to all this.
    nick

    In Vista go to adaptor properties choose tcp/ip click advance then wins and enable netbios over tcp/ip.  Vista should see the other network computers when check workgroup if you have set up network properly.  Graphically if you want to see the xp computer on vista have to download lltd to all xp computers.  this worked for me.  Did a restore point in case before.

  • Problem with album art... Please help

    Hello, I put all my album art on all my songs which took forever last week. I updated my ipod last week and everything was all right with the album art on it. I updated it today, but now, all my album art on my ipod the same picture. On itunes, though, the album art is correct. How can I fix this without having to re-do my whole library!?? I updated my Ipod software and downloaded the latest itunes. Please help me.. Thanks so much in advance...

    The easy quick thing to do IF the album art work is correct on iTUnes, is to just reset the iPod by holding down the center button and menu, if that doesn't work use the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23) and just restore it
    Restore will wipe the iPod clean, but you can just sync it again with iTUnes and have everything loaded back on and hopfully with the correct art

When I try to open iTunes an error message pops up saying "iTunes has detected a problem with youraudio configuration.Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."

    Hi there So I've installed BB World onto my phone, but when I go onto it this is what happens;
    1. 'Blackberry ID
         App World requires the latest version of Blackberry ID.
         Close   or     Update'
    2. So I click update, then this is what it says;
        ' App World requires the latest version of Blackberry ID.'
        'The software upgrade was interrupted. Please try again.'
        'Close   or     Retry'
    3. I press on retry multiple times, but nothing happens. So, I give up and press the escape button. Then this         pops up;
    'Blackberry ID installation failed. Please try again later. (80002)' So then I press 'OK' and it brings me back to the homescreen.
    Please help me, I've been trying to search for a solution for two days all over the internet, but no luck.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Where did you get the ROM update file? I have not seen a RO1.92 update. Is this a hacked ROM update? Has the phone been hacked?
    This is the link to the update for the Treo 680 unlocked using a memory card for install. The sync update link is not working at this time.
    http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/unlocked/solutions/article/10837_en.html
    Is this the page you got the download from?
    I see there is no serial number listed in your screen shot, that is not normal.
    You can try a hard reset to resolve the issue. The hard reset will erase all data on the device. Make sure you sync to the PC to backup your data.
    Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
    When you update the ROM, you cannot revert back to a previous version. This ususlly results in  a "brick" phone.
