R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC bsod at stock settings.

My pc running a msi R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC keeps getting bsods and crashes on programs/ games that are very graphically intensive, namely the ones i found that had the problem where Sleeping Dogs, Planetside 2, and Heaven Benchmark. Though I fear it will get worse over time.
Heaven Benchmark crashes the most and I can not always complete a single benchmark.
Temperatures are great, with my default fan speeds I don't go over 50c
I replaced the cooler with a Artic Acccelero Xtreme about half a year ago
I am running Windows 8 for about 4 months
I am having these issues for about 3 weeks
I have tried multiple driver versions and am now running the latest beta version (13.2), after I got issues on the latest stable one. (naturally combined with full uninstalls)
Overclocking does not worsen the problem providing I increase the voltage correctly.
I could never oc the gpu without increasing the voltage
I have never flashed the bios of the gpu.
Anything that could fix it short of an rma which of course has its drawbacks especially after I replaced a cooler.
Edit: improved readability of the post and included some new details.

Never mind, I wrongly assumed it was the gpu however in reality it was not, it was a undervolt on the cpu I was running for ages, which i deemed stable however once I changed the voltage to make the undervolt less it did fix the issue so I am closing it here.

Differences between R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC and the Twin Frozr III Model

I notice that the R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC has reference design cooling compared to the double fan Frozr III 7950
It is also clocked 50mhz slower!
My 7950 (Frozr III) also has 7970 PCB with 6+8 power connectors...
What other differences am I missing here? Which card is better... in your opinion
Frankly given these huge differences I am convinced that the single fan/slower clock/ 7950 pcb are all reasons to say that the Frozr III is better

with those 2 cards here are the differences:
R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC has a single central fan on it and will run slightly hotter as it has a more limited capacity to move air through the fin array (would also expect it to be more noisy as that fan will spin faster all the time in an attempt to cool the card down). now clock rates with the same GPU on this to the other are subject to how good the GPU sample can handle it and as this one has stock power delivery its is restricted automatically to the standard stock max voltages so unless the GPU is very good it will be limited alot more then the equivalent R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC in theory.
R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC has a twin fan cooler that moves more air volume (it will be quieter as the fans can spin slower while suppling the required air to cool the GPU down) and as a result it will run cooler under operation at load especially (less heat and a lower chance of damage long term to the connections under the GPU). the board has heavier power delivery to the stock so it can handle more voltage supply with less droop compared to the other but again its subject to the individual GPU sample on the card and how it responds to an over-clock <--- but in theory if the GPU you have on the card is good it should be capable of much higher stable clocks and voltages to the reference PCB version on the other card just due to the fact it has alot more to deliver to the core (but its up to the GPU to how it reacts to it as its all random lately "silicon lottery time") and even if you run it at the stock levels it will still be alot more stable long term as the power delivery will not be being as taxed all the time as the stock type.
here is my own personal opinion of the 2 in conclusion:
R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC - OK this is cheaper but I would doubt how long it would last long term before it gave up and I would also expect it to get very hot compared to the other and more loud under load.
R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC - with the twin frozr i would expect it to be cooler as it runs, quieter too and the power to be more stable and as a result it would be a longer life card that will last a longer time after the other would have gave up.

GTX 760 (N760 TF 2GD5/OC ) unstable at stock settings. (Does MSI cross ship?

I recently purchased a GTX 760 TF
N760 TF 2GD5/OC
At stock settings, it is unstable, for example, running unigine heaven 4.0 will cause the card to reset in a way where it gets locked at around 500MHz. Nvidia cards do this when the GPU is unstable.
if the card is set to the slower silent mode, then it is stable, and does not crash.
If the stock settings are used 1020MHz, the card videocard will crash after around 40 minutes.
If the card is set to OC mode, then it will crash anywhere from 1 minutes, to 10 minutes.
if the card is set to the OS mode speeds, and the voltage is set to +12mv, then it can sometimes go a good 20 minutes+ before crashing.
Overall, the videocard is unstable at anything above the reference speeds
Related system specs are
Phenom II x6 1075T
12GB DDR3 1600
Motherboard: gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
Power supply: thermaltake SP-750PCBUS 750 watt
All voltage rails are stable during gaming and benchmarking.
The store I purchased it from no longer has it in stock so an RMA with them will not work in a reasonable amount of time if I want a replacement.
I don't want to be without the card for an entire month, so I was wondering, does MSI offer any kind of cross shipment or any other method to speed an RMA process.
gpu-z showing the stock settings of the card

Same issue happened on both of my computers.
second PC has a MSI 870A-G54 motherboard and a AMD phenon II x4 965 (underclocked to keep the system quiet for home theater use)
I am pretty much swapping in my GTX 460 for now.
When mailing the videocard in, do I use the original box? also, would it impact the warranty if the UPC section was cut out of the box to be mailed in for the rebate that MSI had going for the card?
another weird issue I noticed, if I run a game that causes the card to go up to 1019 MHz and not clock higher (e.g., running audiosurf and twitch streaming, the card will crash more quickly than if the card is loaded up enough to jump to 1123MHz at 1.2V
anyway it looks like this card in only stable at nvidia reference speeds
At reference speeds, it can handle a full work load, even run unigine and bitcoin mine (useful stability test) at the same time without crashing where at any other speed, you are looking at a crash in under 1 minute.

Msi P55 GD 65 boots 3 times even on stock settings, CMOS ISSUE

Hi guys, new member here. Very fond of msi due to its informative reviews and let's not forget that most of my pc's troubleshooting sequences have benefited by reading through several threads posted on this site. However, i am having some trouble with my msi P55-GD 65 MAINBOARD. It keeps giving me the CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR. Msi's boards have this annoying habit of booting 3 times consecutively every time i make changes in BIOS (overclocking). However, now even on stock settings, it has started to boot 3 times which is very frustrating, every time. I have tried:
1: The jumper trick
2: The battery removal trick
3: loading optimized defaults over and over again
4: Replaced it with a new battery
It still posts 3 times, as stated in the manual, so if u guys have any suggestions, they will be highly appreciated
Specs:
I5 750 (at stock, all voltages at stock)
MSI P55 GD65
4GB corsair vengeance at stock as well (1600mhz stock but 1333mhz atm due to this issue)
evga gtx 570 SC (at stock VID and clocks)
Silent pro M 850W CM
WD green 1tb
Plz help me out guys
And yes i have updated my bios using msi live update to v1.11 it still gives me the same issue........plz help me out guys.

When in the BIOS, simply enter the Overclocking Profile Section and change 'OC Retry Count' setting to 1.

As a side note, your RAM may be 'rated' 1600, but that is not 'stock' for the platform, DDR3 1333 is. Increasing the DRAM V. as Bernhard has suggested may help a lot. For attempts for the 'rated' 1600 RAM speed, if the chips have X.M.P. profiles, set the timings and command rate accordingly to the manufacturer's recommended settings. CPUID's utility CPU-Z Memory and SPD Tab's come in handy. Also, if your mainboard BIOS has it, Memory-Z Section can be looked in for information too.

ICloud syncing Weather and Stocks settings

We are a family with multiple iPhones and have all upgraded to iOS5 and iCloud syncing. We have come across one odd thing, our phones now have a combination of the Stocks and Weather settings from all the phones. How can we de-couple these as we like having our individual settings?

Hi All, this worked for me.
In your iPhone/iPad, go to Settings > Privacy > Calendars ... check which Apps are accessing your Calendar - for e.g. if you use an AccuWeather app, when you first installed it, it would have asked for access to your Calendar ... if the the button is switched to "On" ... the weather app will post the temperatures (Min/Max) of the day in your Calendar.
- As the data appears in your Calendar, it's likely going to be replicated to everyone else's Calendar that you share an iCloud account with.
> Switching off the button in the Weather app, no temperatures appear in my Calendar.
- Do the same with the Stock app, switch the button to "Off", so it cannot access your Calendar/Contacts.
> In your iPhone/iPad, go to Settings > Privacy > Contacts ... check which Apps are accessing your Contacts ... turn off the ones you do no want the data fed into your Contacts.
Hope that helps.

Max. & min. levels of stock settings in SPRO or thru user exit

Can anyone help me how to do settings in SPRO or is there any user exit, to stop entries at gate (103) MIGO when maximum level of stock is already defined at MRP1 menu. I want to activate the maximum & minimum levels of stock defined in MRP1 menu and stop the entry at gate itself.
Thanks
SK Daniel

Dear Daniel,
In the transaction code OMC0, you can use for following options;
(a) Variance in the purchase order price quantity
For this variance, two tolerance keys are provided:
(1) Tolerance key B1 (error message) --> You use tolerance key B1 to define the maximum percentage variance. If the variance is greater than the maximum variance, the system creates an error message. The user cannot post the goods receipt.
(2) Tolerance key B2 (warning message) --> Tolerance key B2 defines the percentage variance from which a warning message is to be issued. It is possible to post the goods receipt.
Other options using Purchasing Value Keys in Material Master.
Bye,

BSOD at stock clock speeds after overclocking

Hello everyone, my name is Sem and i'm from the Netherlands. I'm new to this forum.
I have a question about my system. When I try to run a stress test with AIDA64, it gives me a blue screen in Windows 8 after a certain time. I know that this is a common problem with overclockers and that it is mostly due to their voltage setting being too low. But the problem with my system is that I haven't applied any overclocking or voltage tweaks at all. I have reset my bios with F6 and all the settings are the same as when I bought the system. The system is fine for normal usage and light to medium gaming, but why does it crash at a stress test? I have tried some voltage settings, but i think 1.27V is a little bit high for stock speeds (it still crashes at that speed). I hope someone is able to answer my question.
System specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k
MOBO: MSI Z87-G45
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 1600 8gb kit (2 x 4gb)

Is the ram installed into DIMMS 2&4?
Have you tried running memtest? It is included with the forum flash tool: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
I do have checked the ram slots in the meantime. And yes, they are installed in DIMMS 2 and 4. I didn't really understand which memtest you meant, because when I started the flash tool it only told me things about flashing my bios. I did run the built in windows memory diagnostics, which showed that there were no errors found.

How to get old apple CRT studio display to stock settings?

The adjustments of my screen have been messed with and I keep trying to mess with it, but I can't seem to get it right. Is there a way to put the screen adjustment settings back to stock?

You shouldn't need any software. Any software that came with the display would have been for OS 9, anyway. They stopped selling the display before OSX came out, but OSX should be able to use it with its built-in drivers. Do you hear the startup sound from the display's power supply? Can you see the glow of the CRT filament?

Help with new build, keeps freezing on stock settings

Ok, here is my build:
AMD phenom II X4 965 125w
MSI 790GX-G65 Mobo
4gb corsair XMS3 2x2gb 1600mhz DDR3
ATI Radeon 1gb 5970
1TB caviar black
Ok so here goes:
I ordered all of the above parts, and proceeded to build the computer. It would boot fine, but than went to install windows 7 and it would always freeze before the install screen even came up.
I tried everything, but bought another CPU and Motherboard. Same problem.
I don't even have the video card plugged into the board, so that can't be the problem
I did a memtest86 and found no errors.
Now, if I underclock the CPU to 2.0ghz it's stable as a rock.. But anything above 2.2ghz and it starts getting unstable.
Help please? I have upgraded BIOS to 4.1
All settings are on Auto
Let me know which direction to go? I am about to switch to a different brand motherboard all together.
Thanks so much for any help anyone gives me!

Help, icloud erased my stocks settings

I just finished updating my ipad1 and iphone4 to iOS5 and iCloud. My Macbook laptop doesn't have Lion it is still 10.6.8 and can't update to Lion without paying for it. I have 2 IDs, I set my phone and ipad to my previous mobileme (me.com) address and added my even older separate apple ID to iTunes so it will recognize all my previous purchases.
I heard that now with iCloud I could get the stocks app on my ipad, and was very interested to finally have it both there and on my phone (which I have been using for about 2 years) but after updating, the Stocks icon on my iPhone connects me to yahoo finance instead of the old stocks app. How do I get the old Apple Stocks app back? I don't want Yahoo finance!

You will need to sync you iPad back up with iTunes. If that still does not work I would reccomend Restoring your device and syncing it again but this may take some time.

560Ti Hawk Stability Issues @ Stock Settings

Hello
NOTE: This has all started within the last day or so, before then it has been working fine
In the last day or so i have been having stability problems with my MSI 560TI Hawk, running at the default speeds/voltages (950MHz Core, 2100MHz Memory)
I have tested it with MSI Kombustor, whenever PhysX is enabled it crashes within the first second of the PhysX test of the 1280x720 benchmark test.
I have run the 3D tests in Kombustor and they all pass, so my assumption was it has to do with PhysX.
While running the tests sometimes i see artefacts, or random solids where they shouldn't be (hard to explain, but its like jagged points coming off of surfaces), this happens whether PhysX is enabled or not, but usually only on the 1080p test.
Now the bit that is throwing me off is that when i under-clock the memory to 1800MHz it works fine with PhysX enabled on 1080p.
Is there something wrong with the memory on this card?
The weirdest thing in all of this is that black ops crashes when set on max settings, (this uses about 35% of the GPU according to afterburner) but works when i reduce the settings. However i can run Crysis 2 on extreme settings with both the DX11 and texture patches enabled perfectly fine. I can also run MW3 fine.
I have also been seeing artefacts while watching videos on VLC player, not all the time but sometimes.
I have tried it all on these NVidia drivers;
285.62 - the latest available that is recommended by MSI (on the MSI website)
296.10
301.42 - latest available from NVidia
304.48 - beta version
I am using the latest afterburner available - 2.2.1
I have the latest Kombustor - 2.3.0

Thanks for the reply, my PSU is a new (March this year) Corsair TX V2 650W and i dont have another PSU to try it with, but the reason i dont suspect the PSU to be the problem is since it would play crysis 2 on high settings which uses more power than black ops.
The problem seems to have stopped after updating to afterburner 2.2.2, which makes no sense to me as to why that would have an effect.

MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock settings

Hello,
This is a continuation of this thread:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148321.0
But to summarize the issue, the card is not stable at stock speeds of 770 core, 1540 shader, 2000 memory.
The stock voltage on this card is 0.962 and may have not been quality tested enough at the factory. With my testing I found that the voltage needed for stability at these stock values is +68 to core voltage in Afterburner (1.031v). I used OCCT 15 minute stress test to verify there were no errors. Anything under 1.031v showed errors at auto fan speeds.
I was told by Henry that I should request a modified vbios from Svet. I am experienced enough to flash the video card, but I want to know if this will void my warranty.
Again, this card is wonderful and overclocks very well, the only problem is that it isn't stable at stock and if I were to ever sell the card to someone who is not experienced enough to over volt or overclock, this card would be assumed as defective.

Quote from: gl0ry on 02-May-11, 07:29:21
Thanks Svet,
I sent you my S/N. Yes, 1.031v seems perfectly stable for stock with auto fan. I am testing one more time to be certain and so far it seems fine.
Also, a question that was never answered. If I flash the bios with the one that you supply, I am still under warranty, correct?

MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock settings | SPLIT

Hello,
Same problem with my card also same model GTX 570 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC not stable at stock clocks 770/4000 (artifacts on 3DMark 11)
I even plan do not OC it and stay on default clocks for now, but today I start bechmarks and notice only in 3DMark 11 artifacts (red sqares/dots) in others benchmarks I don't noticed any, or in games.
I bought it 3 days ago and I thinking to exchange it for another, what are you think is worth ? or could you here help me somehow ? I see is possible to upgrade new updated bios with higher voltage.
Is it 100% safe to flash this in Windows 7 64bit ?
I don't know how to check which voltage is enough for stock clocks ? Is that cards was not tested before they go to market ?
As I know I have to increase the voltage by MSI Afterburner Core Voltage (mV) a little and checking stability/artifacts ?
I checked orginal default voltage VDDC in GPU-Z and is 0,9120V at idle, and 0,9880V at stress.

Quote from: PeterMac on 16-May-11, 21:09:35
I rec video how it's work on default
You think other one should be good ? or maybe all of this cards are not stable on defaults voltage/clocks
Not for all, it should work as is.
Eventually can be fixed with bios update, with voltage bump
So either try bump the voltage until it makes stable then i can make a bios for you,
or rma it

Msi x79a-gd65 8d BSOD and Ram issue, Code 67

Hi,
Specs as follows:
Mobo: msi x79a-gd65 8d (Bios: latest 4.4)
CPU: 3960x
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair dominator platinum 1866MHZ (CMD16GX3M2A1866C10)
PSU: CM 1000watt
GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB
Mobo came back from MSI and they said there were bend pins, they fixed the bent pins. However the mobo still BSODs on stock settings and does not want to boot with 2x8Gb. It only boots with 1 stick.
I also get the code 67.
The mobo is only stable when I enable OC genie and run 1 ram module
Please help, thanks in advance!

>>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help try the second stick in any mem slot and see if it boots in any while other stick is installed too. If not try each stick individually to check if both are working.

R7950-2PMD3GD5/OC bsod at stock settings.
