Problems with my new MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC Please help

Hi, purchased the above card from kuala lumpur, Malaysia on the 19th February 2011 when I visited Malaysia. Installed the card on my Core i7 950 rig.
My card is MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC 3DMark 11 edition.
Had issues installing the card, blue screened many times. I was using a GTX295 with a 8800GT to handle physx earlier with no problems what so ever.
So I removed my 8800GT and checked only with the new GTX580, the card runs as an OC edition, but now the problem is I experience random freezing when I run 3D Mark 11 (It says " windows focus was lost" during bench mark running) and Crysis.
Even Mafia II bench marks gives me a rather low rating as "D", where I was getting a comfortable "C" with my earlier 295 arrangement. Crysis crashed many times too.
Posted here is a screen shot of my GPU Z and afterburner shows a 1000 mv. And I am using 266.58 drivers.
My Rig specs are, if it helps:
1.ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
2. Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
3. CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
4.Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2R5 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD).
5. Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
6. Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
7. MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC Graphic Card
8. Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
9. Creative GigaWorks S750 700 Watts 7.1 Speaker
10.Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
11. ViewSonic 22" VX2255wmb widescreen LCD monitor
12. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
If I am to RMA the card it's going to complicate matters as I am living out of Malaysia.. can there be a VGA bios upgrade solution? I am kind of sad that I had to purchase this card..Please advice

Hi Swet, did all the testing in between my work, sorry I got late to reply. Smiley
It's like this. Managed to get 3D Mark 11 working back again after so many tries. I just disabled the screen saver, and it was okay after that. Strange isn't it?
with 1025mV I got a reading of P6350 and with 1038 I got P6365.
we can assume this as 3D Mark 11 issue

D mark vantage running was okay. Completed Furmark bench successfully many times. No issues there. http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/furmark_score_190.php?id=147818
Looks like to be Kombuster issue.. since Furmark can work fine. Kombuster is based on Furmark.
If you apply reference clocks from AB does the issue described persist with Kombuster ?

Link received and will be checked, and also removed.[Not for public]
I didn't go ahead with it without consulting you. Please be kind to check it out for me.
Also I could play CRYSIS 2 Demo without any issue with 1025mV and 1038mV both.
Temps were around 70-75 C. Is it okay.
My personal preference is 1038mV.
Well, what do you think? Thanks very much. Smiley

I've check it and it's the same version as your current installed.
E.g. flashing to this one will not change anything

[Athlon64] AGP problem with my new MSI K8N NEO4-F

Yes I managed exactly that. I've been out of the computer building business for a while so I didn't know the graphics ports had changed.
I will invest in a graphic card as well, thanks for putting me on track
(The manual sais something about the port supporting 8x agp though? )

[Athlon64] AGP problem with my new MSI K8N NEO4-F

Hey!
Just bought a MSI K8N NEO4-F and got a serious problem with the AGP port, the graphics card wont work!
When I install my radeon 9700 pro I can't get a picture, everything else works including a pci graphics card.
I don't have a diskette drive so I haven't upgraded the bios yet, but I find it hard to belive that you have to upgrade to get a picture.

Problems with AIM on Blackberry 7100i...Please help

I got the 7100i off ebay with AIM preinstalled...it didn't work. I then called nextel and they told me that there was a compatibility issue with the new AIM and this phone...so the guy gave me a web address to download the aim from. It wasn't an address from AIM.com or Blackberry.com...and of course I didn't write it down...and now Nextel tells me that they have never had issues with AIM and this phone. I can download and install AIM on the phone but when I put in my correct (and yes it is the correct one because I also tried putting the same password in my computer's AIM) it tells me that "service not enablesd for this handheld" but since it's third party software...Nextel can't help me. Anyone know how to fix this?

The best advice I can offer is to dump the AOL AIM client altogether, and use a third-party instant messaging application that supports AIM.
For example, Adium X is a full featured IM client that supports AIM as well as many other IM protocols.
It's very stable on Tiger, and it's light years ahead of the official AIM client from AOL.
Try it out!

Problems with WRT54 V.7 (V7.00.4) :please help me!...

Hi,
I've just installed (two days ago) this device and it's so annoying.i've been with the chat support of linksys for hours and they could not help!
These are the problems:
My laptop "see" the router but u can't access the internet,although that when i try to check and connect the laptop via direct cable it's doing that with no problem.
U can see that the signal is strong but u just cannot access the net.
My second device:an asus a636 pocket pc can see the router only on a few times:most of the time i just can't "See" the router,and when it does see it sometime,u cannot surf the internet as well.
(i must point out that i surf the internet using th pocket pc with no problem on many public places...)
I tried to restart,reinstalling the firmware (v7.00.4) a few times,and configured the router again,but it didn't solve anything.
To add to that:the setup cd/wizard didn't work at all and started the debugger of the windows (Win2000),and even when u try to download the setup from linksys site,it's doing the same and starting the debugger,so i installed the 7.00.4 firmware using the tftp.exe program.
What else can i do so this device can work properly??it's so frustrating!!!
Please help whoever u are.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi… Try changing the Wireless Channel on this router and check the Wireless Security mode. Make sure it is supported by your OS / wireless adapter. Select proper security key and try to connect to this wireless network. Once connected, check the IP address on the PC and try to ping to Router and DNS servers. Revert back with your findings.

Extreme problems with airport and harddrive no pun intended. please help.

okay experts, please help. i have a lacie brick 500gb external drive that i got yesterday. i attatched it to the airport and the drive showed up on the desktop fine and dandy. the problem was that no backup software would recognize that a hard drive was attatched. i was given some advice to format the hard disk for apple using disk utility. i did that and it finished formatting this morning. (i had to do all this by plugging the hard drive in directly to the computer's usb port, it wouldn't let me do it attatched to the airport) now the dilemma is that when i attatch it to the airport, the disk no longer even shows up on the desktop, or anywhere else. wen i go to airport utility, manual setup and disks, it shows the hard drive there, but nowhere else. i know it isn't a problem with the hard drive because when plugged in directly to the computer, everything works fine. can someone please give me a run through of the settings i need to have set? i'm quite sure it is correct. i am just frustrated beyond belief getting this hard drive to work via the airport. thank you very much guys and gals.
wait....update
okay. finally, it is on the desktop, but not how it should be. superduper or the lacie backup system still doesn't recognize it as a disk. when i plug in the h.d. to the computer usb port it shows up as an orange icon on the desktop and is recognized by the software. but when i plug it in via the airport it shows up on the desktop as a different icon, like a box and isn't recognized by the software. what on earth is going on?
this is driving me mad.

You need to make sure that your backup software supports Bonjour(network attached) devices. I use the mac backup program and it recognizes AEBSn disk devices.
Can you copy a file manually from finder to the drive?

Before i start let me just say that i dont really know much about these motherboards as they are rather new and there are lots of buttons and switches all over it.
This computer is custom built by myself, i would NOT consider my self to be a noob at building computers, seing as i have built many for many different people, but the latest motherboard i bought (the X79a-GD45) is a socket 2011 which are very tight and hardly any tolerance.
The computer has been working without a hitch for around 4-5 months, it was amazingly fast and responsive, but this morning i was sat playing Battlefield 3 on Kharg Island when the screen just went black (No Signal) and the PC completely shut off leaving a nasty smell behind, so i immediately jumped up to unplug the PSU from the mains (240v), i then noticed that the back of the PC Case (where the PSU sits) was EXTREMELY hot, so hot that i thought it had literately caught fire.
After totally diss-assembling, cleaning and re-assembling the PSU i tried to power up the PC thinking the PSU might have burnt out (Remember it was VERY hot) but nothing happened, and if the PSU is connected to the motherboard then the MSI power button is lit then when i press the main power button (Front of Case) some of the motherboard lights flash on for just a brief second, no CPU fan movement, HDD Sound/Movement , GPU fan movement, but the MSI motherboard onboard power button is still lit.
Also one more thing, i took the CPU out of its socket to check the pins and i noticed a horrifying sight in the pins connected to the motherboard, on the right side of the socket towards the top of the pin layout, there are 2 pins that look like they have either melted or been bent backwards i cannot really see as the pins are that small, i have provided a picture to take a look at.
I could really do with some help/suggestions on troubleshooting this problem, as i am about at my wits end also im only 20 and i saved up alot of money for the parts for this computer (Around a £1000)........

And as for the pins, the New range of MSI's are supposed to have pins that looke bent and melted , i just checked on the front of a Scan.co.uk magazine and the GD79 also has those.
Not true, if that magazine had pictures of socket with pins like that then it was a defective socket they photographed.
GD79?

Reformatting/reinstalling problems with iMac and Tiger... Please help!

Hi!
I've been trying to sell my iMac so that I can fund the purchase of a Macbook. Finally found a buyer, told him I would format the hard drive and re-install Tiger for his convenience (and my security).
I'll try to describe now the problems I have had:
- I booted from the installer disk 1; opened disk utility; zeroed out the entire drive (the one, in disk utility, on the left-hand drawer w/ the mfgr. # and drive size -- i.e., the MAIN one). This may be where I made my mistake...
- After this finished, I went back to the installer and began the installation process. Everything seemed to be on track.
- Disk 1 finished, the computer automatically restarted.
- Upon restart, I was asked to install the 2nd disk.
- Here is where I KNOW something (I did probably) went wrong: disk 1 would not eject; instead, I got a spinning beach ball for what seemed to be a long while... TOO long... SO long, in fact, that I manually restarted the computer, hit the eject button, removed disk 1, and inserted disk 2 in the hopes that the installation process would pick up where I left it. Unfortunately, it didn't.
- The computer will not boot-up from, recognize, or even ask for disk 2, at all. All I get, when trying to boot up from anything but disk 1 is a grey screen, and the flashing folder/"?" icon.
- I can still access installer and all the utilities when I boot from the installer disk 1. HOWEVER, when I try to run the installer again--trying to begin the process from scratch--the installer fails to locate the target volume! Moreover, when I try to use disk utility, it cannot verify or repair my HD (the main HD or the "My Computer" HD -- if that makes sense, my knowledge of the proper terminology is poor), nor can it erase them again. The reason? The message I get says "Volume failed to unmount," or something along those lines.
- Under information, I see that these drives are verified (or so the computer says) so I hope real damage hasn't been done, and that I just short-circuited the hardware somewhere along the line.
So -- might anyone have an idea as to how I can get this process back on track? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU, in advance!
Cooper

Thank you, Kappy and baltwo!
Yes, it is the 17" G5 iMac in my info. and, yes, I am using the (Tiger) disks that came with the iMac.
What I ended up doing was this, and I wonder if you might have any idea if it sounds good or not -- it seems, now, to be working:
- I entered terminal, and typed: "diskutil unmount /volumes/untitled" in order to force-unmount the volume that seemed to be giving me so much trouble.
- From there, I partitioned the main HD (extended, etc.), in order to create a new target volume for OSX.
- This done, I went back to installer, it found the new target volume, and voila! It's begun installing from disk 1 !
I wonder, though, should I have tried to erase that first, unmounted problem volume? I'm not sure how I could have -- it was unselectable from disk-utility once I unmounted it. It seemed that there was information on it -- 6.5GB, it had gone through the entire first-disk of the install process -- but, then again, the main HD showed all 148GB free once I unmounted that volume and created the new partition...
Any further advice you might give?
Thanks, again!

HT5945 Why does Instal Java SE 6 keep popping up and when I attempt to install it says that there is a problem with the internet connection ??? Please help

I keep getting a pop up reminder to install Java SE 6. When I attempt to install it an error occurs saying that there is a internet connection problem and the Java cannot be intalled. This thing pops up every 15 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help

OK, so you don't have a working iTunes.
What I would like to do now is to try installing each iTunes component separately.
First uninstall the 5 iTunes programs that you have installed.
You should have iTunesSetup.exe saved in a folder on your PC, probably in the downloads folder. If not download and save it now.
Open the folder containing iTunessetup.exe with explorer.
Next open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
md temp
itunessetup /extract temp
pause
Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
Install in this order by double clicking on them:
Apple Application Support
Bonjour
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Quicktime
iTunes
If one of the installs fails, stop and post the error message in full. I am hoping that by doing this separately we will get a better error message.

STRANGE problem with sound in SWF files...Please help if you know how...

Hello,
Okay, so, I recently learned how to use Adobe InDesign to create a book. there is a lot a still don't know. When I export my document as a SWF file, it works great and has sound and animations where it should. However, if I move that SWF to a new location, such as my desktop or uploading it to an e-mail, it looses all the sound information. To add sound to each page, I added a hidden object to each page that was the sound file so that I could attach it to a button. It seems that it is loosing that sound file if I move it to a new location. Any ideas or solutions?

UPDATE: I have learned that my problem is related to a "resourse folder" which must go wherever the file goes in order for it to have sound. This is a bit inconvinient for me, as my client is computer illiterate. I really want to find a way to just embed the sound into a file that you can just open and play. To the best of my knowlege, SWF format is the only format that allows for the page turning animation. Does anyone know a way to embed the sound into the SWF file or am I SOL here?

Fault Module Name: mcicda.dll
Fault Module Version: 6.0.6000.16386
That's part of your Windows operating system, relating to the MCI driver for cdaudio devices.
Perhaps try running an sfc /scannow as per:
[How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
Does sfc repair any files? If so, does your iTunes start launching properly again afterwards?

Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?

I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC. When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet. Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming! The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document. Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open? All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem. Can someone help please? Thanks!

You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
Make sure all Office application are quit fully
Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.microsoft.Excel.plist
com.microsoft.office.plist
com.microsoft.Word.plist
com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.

Several problems with iPod that used to work fine PLEASE HELP

First, the iPod is a 5th gen 30 gig video and I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 with xp pro. I have had it a few years and i have had zero problems until recently. Now when I try to sync the iPod, my laptop immediately shuts off going completely black and the loading lights along with the lights for caps lock and num lock flash until i remove the iPod. Then the lights stop flashing and the computer reboots. Thus it is impossible for me to sync. Another recent problem that i have is that I can no longer listen to music while charging the iPod with a wall charger. While the wall charger is plugged in, the iPod constantly says that the battery power is too low, even on a full battery. Once I unplug the charger, the iPod works fine again. Any help I can get would be awesome. Thanks.
