R9 270X Gaming 2G Black Screen

I have the same problem which many are having. msi r9 270x 2gb gaming OC, Black Screen after catalyst drivers intall. I have tried various drivers, including 14.7 RC1 beta drivers.
First time i installed drivers provided on msi website (AMD_13101_78_vga), those worked fine until once i rebooted after 20 minutes. One thing i did was used the msi fast boot without using fast boot program installed in windows 8.1.
Things i have done already:
1. formatted pc many times
2. used all the various versions of catalyst
3. Cleared CMOS (removes battery for and hour, shorted for 10 seconds to reset)
4. done bios flash with atiwinflash in windows with MSI.R9270X.2048.131129.rom 015.041.000.000.003348 (from techpowerup.com); one thing i noticed after using this rom that without catalyst drivers installed, i can see windows recognize that my gpu has 256mb memory which was before only showing 8mb before this bios update. but again after catalyst 14.4 this black screen came back again.
My card serial number is - S/N: 602-v303-070B1404044342,
Please provide me with the bios to use with this card and how to flash it again if atiwinflash is not advisable.
Also tell me which catalyst drivers to use for stable system if not 14.4 or should i use provided on msi site 13.101
And i am using an HDMI cable and even changing to dvi it does show black screen.
Thank You.
Help me i am completely frustated with this card.

Motherboard: Msi gaming 3 H97

I already mentioned the vbios version i am on and that is 015.041.000.000.003348, since the card is not installing drivers and screen going black, how can i can save the vbios version for upload.
ok i will try gpuz or nvflash and will upload if it doesnt help
I flashed using 015.041.000.000.003348 this bios. and after flashing atiwinflash gave me a message:
Old bios: (Nothing written here)
New Bios: 015.041.000.000.003348
All these numbers are 100% useless as these do not reperesent an MSI vbios version.

4.) Be aware that gpu-z screenshots or what gpu-z reads out as bios version are NOT of any use for identifying the required vbios version. While it doesn't hurt to add those when S/N and an actual copy of the vbios are also supplied simply just adding screenshots or version readouts will not get you any further and us having to ask for the required informations.
As Svet already said we need the actual vbios.

MSI R9 270X Gaming 4G Black Screen of Death after driver install...

So I recently updated the drivers and AMD catalyst to the newest version. After doing that and restarting my pc, it will load to the Windows loading screen, then to the black screen of death. When I restart under last known good configuration, I can start windows, but I don't have the drivers installed. This is a fresh install, and no matter what I do, it ends in the same result. I've tried restoring the PC, and I can start windows again, but again. No drivers. I can't find an older version of the drivers that worked before. I'm just frustrated because I have 2 of the cards, and a quad display. But i can't use them... After researching, I found that this is a common issue, But I can't seem to fix it.

From your post in another thread I guess you tried 14.4 from MSI site. Use latest official AMD one (14.12) instead: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064

R9 280x TF GAMING: Sporadic black screen on boot and system resume

Link to my full system specs
ASRock Z97M OC Formula (running latest BIOS version)
Acer B296CL Monitor over DisplayPort
MSI R9 280x 3GB TF GAMING, vBIOS 015.042.000.000.003435, S/N 602-V277-250B1406048461
AMD Catalyst Omega Driver: 14.501.1003.0 WHQL (latest non-beta driver)
When booting my computer in UEFI mode, occasionally, my monitor does not wake from sleep and the screen remains black until Windows takes over and the login screen displays. This seems to usually occur after the computer has been powered off for more than 10 minutes. Sometimes this never happens, the screen remains black the whole time, and I need to hard reset. Sometimes it boots fine.
This black screen / no signal issue also occurs far more frequently when attempting to resume from sleep. I strike a key on the keyboard or hit the power button while the computer is in sleep mode, the computer wakes up, but the monitor never turns on. This forces me to either hard shutdown or reset in order to restore graphics.
In addition, I have a Razer keyboard that shuts off its backlight when the display is turned off, and it remains off when this problem occurs. This likely means that there is a problem with the card, drivers, or something else, rather than cabling. I might just RMA if we don't get anywhere here.
Perhaps a good first step would be ensuring that my card is flashed with the latest vBIOS. Can you send a link to that?
I'm also wondering if ULPS might be interfering, even though I am not in a CrossFireX setup.
Other than this MAJOR issue, the card works fine when playing 3D games. Though, I had major issues with video artifacts when playing 2D games or doing anything else simple (web browsing, moving windows) because of the absolutely terrible decision to underclock the past couple generations of AMD cards so much that the GPU can't function. I solved this by modifying an OverDrive profile to raise the idle clock to 850 MHz, but not overclocking at all.
Thank you.
Meta discussion for the mods (feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss this further, in order to keep the discussion here on topic): sorry for not immediately opening up another forum topic when commenting on this issue. Every single other community that I've been a part of prefers to keep users with the same problem on the same thread. In my experience, mods yell at people for opening up duplicate bug reports and duplicate issues far more than they ask people to fragment information across multiple threads, therefore making it difficult to consolidate information.

It could be a mobo issue, but all of the quirks seem to point to the card.
I do not recall if I tested the card in another PC, but I no longer have a second desktop to test with.
I do think I tested an NVIDIA card on a separate Windows install with this build though. No issues there if my memory serves correctly. I've been troubleshooting this issue for months, and I'm becoming tired of this stubborn problem, so the attempts at problem-solving are becoming blurred.
vBIOS is attached.

It is unfortunate that this is a problem that repeat this often.
I bought the card in February 2014 and been running perfectly until a few days ago came the famous "black screens" to load the drivers, I've tried everything:
- Completely clean installation S.O. W7 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 ---> ERROR
- Completely clean installation S.O. W8.1 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 and the new bios Hybrid for W8 ---> ERROR
- Restore backups S.O. (W7 x64) where the card working properly ---> ERROR
- With the default drivers S.O. Catalyst drivers without the graphics card works perfectly but is useless for games.
I came to think that it is a hardware error and therefore RMA process.
This is the last step I can take before RMA, if no solution with a new vBios these
believe are the necessary data:

Hi all I've had the r9 270x for 3 months now and it ran like a champ. I ran Sims 4 the day it came out and worked for what seemed 30 mins and I come across a black screen.
Boots up fine but at login screen I get the same black screen. I've gone as far as formatting my computer several times.
I had it in PCI express 3.0 x16/x8 slot 1
Here are my specs.

Does the computer work with the integrated GPU? Have you tested the vga in another machine or can you?

MSI R9 290 Gaming 4GB Black Screen/Freeze Issue

Hello All,
I just received my new MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming. 4GB. It freezes/locks up upon booting into windows. If I do not install the drivers. It does not lock up. As soon as I install any driver, it goes to a black screen, and locks up. I have read the forums, and see a few other people have reported this issue. I have tried the following AMD Catalyst drivers 14.7(beta), 14.1, 13.2. All still have the same issue. I have tried installing the driver manually(via device manager) with out the CCC. I have also tried the native drivers from MSI's website. still same issue. Not sure what else to do here. I am using a CoolerMaster RS-850Watt power supply. Windows 8.1 Pro. Here are the rest of the details of my setup. Anyone know of a fix for this issue?

Hey guys, thanks for trying to help. I ended up going back to the retailer. memory express. They determined that the card was DOA. They exchanged it and provided me a new card. New card has no issues. thank you for the help.

W510 Gaming Problem - Black screen

First, I did some search before I post, and I found someone had a similar problem, but did not found any solution for it.
I have the similar problem as mentioned on:http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W510-crashes-during-heavy-CPU-GPU-usage-possibl.... Black screen, keyboard no longer function, and I can hear the cooling fans slowing down, HARD DRIVE STILL FUNCTIONING, as I can see the HDD light is flashing.
Only thing I can approve is that this problem is not caused by heavy CPU or GPU use or overheat, because my computer behaves different on different games.
Here are some games that will cause this problem. All my games are licensed.
Plant VS. Zombie:
-Problem occurs while launching the game on FULL SCREEN mode.
-After edit registry to WINDOWED mode, the game works well.
Left 4 Dead 2:
-Problem occurs while launching the game first time.
StarCraft 2:
-Game successfully launch on both FULL SCREEN and WINDOWED screen.
-I have been play SC2 for a lot of times, for different time period amunt of time and this problem only occurred for once when I was in the middle of a battle.
GTA 4:
-Problem occurs when I play this game for 2-4 hrs.
This problem NEVER OCCURRED on: CS1.6, Red Alert 3, COD4 & 6, Metro 2033
Also my computer passes all the test mentioned on the other post.
HERE is my comp hardare info:
OS: Windows 7 Ult 64-bit (6.1 Build 7601) [SP1], I have same problems also before SP1.
Sys Model: 4318CTO
BIOS Ver: 1.00PARTTBLX (System BIOS Version: 6NET74WW)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q820 @1.73Ghz
Memory: 8192MB
DX verison: 11
Graphic: NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M (1600x1900)
All my driver have been updated to the lastest stable release version.
Anyone have any suggestion for this weird problem???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never mind, thx for ppl who read this post.
The problem solved.
My vid driver was outdated, i thought it was the lastest version because "Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products" on nVidia website never notify me for update.

MSI 270X Gaming troubles!(black screen on boot/Fan speed on max)

Hello. I bought a brand new videocard - MSI 270X Gaming. But I got troubles with the computer boot. I start the computer, i got the greenting sound of Windows 7(everything's work), but i don't have anything on the screen - pitch black! And the fan speed is max. That's it!!! In order to make it work, I'm suppose to unplug the card from the PCI-e slot and put in back in. When i do this, it work fine... until the next time I have to turn on my computer. Again the same story. Only removing and putting back the card in the PCI slot works. I updated my MB Bios to latest ver. - don't work. Clear CMOS - don't work.
To make sure the problem is in the card, not in the PC, i'v putted another videocard and it's working nice
So guys if you have any ideas how to make this card work fine, please tell me. My other option is to return it to the store!

Quote from: Svet on 17-December-13, 00:33:47
oki, have you tried to switch the card vbios to the other one and to see how it goes?
OK, didin't do that. If it not removing my warranty, tell me how to do it?! Please!

270X Gaming - Black screen after driver install

I just recently purchased an MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr Gaming.
I physically installed the board and booted my PC. Windows started fine, albeit in VGA mode. I then proceeded to install the latest AMD drivers for the card (13.11 Beta). I made it through installation and then rebooted. When I rebooted, I got a blank, black screen after the "Starting Windows" screen. I was unable to boot windows, so I restored to last known configuration and tried again with different drivers (13.9) with the same result.
Does anyone know why windows hangs when it loads the display driver? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr Gaming (S/N 602-V303-03SB1309077057)

Hi everyone. I just wanted to give you an update. It seems I have resolved the problem.
After attempting other fixes (fresh Windows install, MB BIOS update, etc), flashing the BIOS of the video card fixed the problem. I used the BIOS version
015.040.000.000.002887. I believe the BIOS the card shipped with is 015.039.000.000.002887. Anyway, there are no problems now. I was able to install Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.5 with no problems and no black screens.
I got the BIOS and ATIWinflash from TechPowerUp. I'd post links, but I am too new to the board.
Thanks guys.

R9 270x Gaming 2G with B84-G43 Gaming Black Screen running win 8.1

Hi,
My system was win 7, upgrade to win 8.1 clean install with AMD Catalyst™ 14.4 for a day then problem occur the same way which many are having "Black Screen" even restart in normal mode but not to Safe Mode.
so i decide to downgrade the system to win 7 clean install, with no display driver install/update "Microsoft Standard VGA Graphic Adapter" in high resolution the system work fine but not with MSI Graphics Driver 13.101, "Black Screen' occur during driver installation detecting VGA card.
which i believe got to be some bios malfunction during the upgrading OS & Driver. by following here i attach the link below as technical details for assistance in advance for this troubleshooting.
here is the picture for the S/N

and
here is the current vbios version

Thanks.

even i tried it on downgrade and upgrade motherboard bios for both OS by getting a clean/clear default setting.
by using these method, clean OS installation with each of these driver "AMD Catalyst™ 14.4, MSI Graphics Driver 13.101, and the older link by previous post" and on-board vga as main display output;

MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

Hello there.
About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
Bios Version: Latest
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
PSU: Don't know
12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
Raid Card: Onboard
Sound Card: Onboard
OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

Might be either compatibility issue (since your system is pretty old), PSU or simply defective GPU. See above ^
