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.

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.
My Specs:
Motherboard: Msi gaming 3 H97
GPU: msi r9 270x 2gb OC

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.

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.

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.

GS70 cannot access bios, black screen

Hello,
I have bricked my bios (I have the black screen with the flashing white line). My computer seems to work fine no problem otherwise. I only realized it wasn't working when trying to install Ubuntu.
I have read a plethora of information on the forums and online unfortunately nothing seems to be of much help.
All of MSI's guides seem to assume that you would be able to access the BIOS to flash the file, so I can't find the proper steps to take. Furthermore, the guides show that there are always 4 files or so in these zip files, however mine only comes with a bios file and a text file directing me to the guide.
Would anyone here be able to help me? These FLASHWIN64 bat files seem to be nonexistent, and seem to be what could help me fix my problem. I am in windows 8.1, GS70 2OD-001 machine.
Another funny thing is when I go to the support site for my specific model, MSI only shows the bios for windows 7, even though my machine was bought with windows 8. But if you type in google GS70 Stealth, it pops open with all the drivers etc and lists the correct speccs for my machine.
Thank you very much for your time.

Which model of GS70 do you have?
If you can enter the OS, then an BIOS update may be possible to fix the issue.

MSI GE60 cannot access BIOS (black screen + white underscore)

So I've tried accessing the BIOS using the DEL key but when I do it the only thing that shows up is a black screen with a white unblinking underscore. Why is this? My BIOS version is : E16GCIMS.517

You can check with the nearby local retailer first and see if they have the model you like.

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

Satellite C855D-135 - Corrupt BIOS, black screen, keyboard is not working

Hello everybody.
I have been having some issues with my Toshiba Satellite C855D-135 laptop. I had to change my internal hard drive, so I decided to install windows 7 on it (I used to have windows 8 but don't have the CD and I couldn't find the licence key sticker.),
So I went into the BIOS to switch it from UEFI to CSM, but something went wrong at that point and it seems to have corrupted the bios.
I think I have bricked it, but some things still work.
When I turn it on:
- the screen stays black (Yes, I have tried it on a different screen)
- the keyboard doesn't seem to be working (the leds don't turn on when I press caps lock)
- the fan works fine
- cd reader works fine
- When I plug in a USB stick, it flashes quickly once, so that seems to be working
- When I removed the memory bar, the computer did it's series of beeps
- I tried removing the battery, unplugging it and pressing on the power button for ages. (no luck)
- I have tried removing the CMOS battery to revert the bios to default. (no luck)
- I tried flashing the bios on a USB stick, until I realised the keyboard wasn't working and that it was all in vain.
- I tried putting the bios update on a CD, and it spun for a while, but nothing happened in the end. I tried putting these files on the CD:
- IBIOS.BAT
- C8610.FD (in the Win8 folder)
- C610.FD (in the WIN7 folder)
- I tried renaming C8610.FD to BIOS.FD
I have run out of ideas now.
Could anybody help me? Pretty please?
I hope it's not the motherboard that's broken, coz I really don't have enough money to send it off to be repaired.

The whole story sounds very strange to me I never heard about that fact that changing the boot mode from UEFI to CSM would affect the BIOS.
In my opinion there is some serious hardware problem. As you already assumed, it could be probably a motherboard fault.
I would recommend you to ask some technicians for some hardware diagnostic tests to perform an motherboard check in order to be 100% sure about the fault.
If you dont have enough money and the motherboard is really affected you could try to get some 2nd hand part

BIOS black-screen on a Compaq Presario CQ61-300z CTO (VU087AV)

Getting the 2 blinks indicating a corrupt BIOS. I've found both F.03 and F.15 BIOS levels, and have copied the *.fd files to a flash drive, both at the root and at path '\hewlett-packard\bios\current\' then pressed Win+B keys while powering up... no success. PLEASE HELP!!

Hey WAYNEBO,
I'm sorry you're running into this issue with the BIOS. Have you tried creating a UEFI flashdrive yet? The UEFI software creates a bootable flashdrive with a stable BIOS version on it.
1. You could download the UEFI here, using a different computer.
2. When you double-click on the downloaded file, it will prompt you to create a flashdrive. It's preferable to use an empty one (just to avoid losing any of your data), at least 2GB.
3. Once you've created the flashdrive, insert it into the affected computer and, just like you've been doing, press the Power button and immediately start holding down Windows key + B for about 5 seconds.
4. Wait while it loads about 3-5 minutes, for an image to appear on the screen.
5. Once the image appears, you'll be prompted to Rollback BIOS. Click that and allow it to finish.
That should rollback the BIOS. Sometimes it doesn't work on the first try. Give it a couple of tries. Let me know the results when you get a chance

Thank you very much

I assume it is safe to say that there have been no bios releases for said card??
Also if somebody could please tell me if the bios a posted was GOP or UEFI it would be greatly appreciated.
If a new bios is released, which one should I replace? Don't know the difference between the two.
Thanks a lot

GTX 670M BLACK SCREEN ON GT780DXR

Good night, guys,
after a year since my last visit, I found a graphics card compatible with my laptop. It is a GTX 670m out of a msi GT60. The seller said it was 1.5GB, but according watching their vbios is 3GB. Well.
With the original vbios, I can see hdmi, vga but no display on the screen of the laptop. (Black screen).
If I flash the vbios gtx 570m. The screen of the laptop, illuminates, but still black screen. VGA and HDMI are seen, but with errors on screen.
I am very desperate to run this notebook. He has now 3years in my closet ...
Can you think something happens ?, vBIOS customs? something ?. Thank you.
EDIT:
More info, MSI GT780DXR, BIOS 10H for non raid systems. And i look in nvidia and i cant look a laptop screen. With my graphic card gtx 570m i can look.
EDIT2:
I Update the bios and firmware.
GT780
MS-1761
Bios ver.: E1761IMS.10H (NON RAID SISTEM)
Bios build: 11/18/2011 10:10:10
EC ver. : 1761EMS2 Ver 4.19
EC build: 11/22/2011
ME FW ver.: 7.0.4.1197
Nothing changes..

Well, and what options I have.
It took one week intensively seeking a solution to the problem of bios or vbios that I have.
I changed the bios available, changed firmware, I put vbios of gtx 570m, and gtx 670m .
Gtx 570m 1.5gb Bios -> light on screen but in black. HDMI and VGA malfunctioning but they work.
Gtx 570m 3.0Gb Bios -> black screen, HDMI and VGA work.
Gtx 670m 3.0Gb Bios -> black screen, HDMI and VGA work.
Changes bios, firmware and any change in the vbios.
Tested different portable monitor, same results. Using a gtx 570m, operates the laptop monitor.
I contacted MSI to see if I'm lucky.
