Random freeze on boot with MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe graphics card. Sometimes, on boot (before getting to BIOS, I guess during GFX BIOS, if that's a thing anymore in the computing world) the GPU fans will spin at a considerable speed (noisy, I'd say 70-100%) and the system will refuse to boot. I could reproduce this around 5 to 6 times, and always during cold boots. After this happens, rebooting or powering off and on will not work, I'll need to cut off all power (PSU switch) and cold-boot again.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

can you list full system specifications? read >>Posting Guide<<

  • Request: Latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC

    Hello there!
    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and would like to upgrade to the latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC please.
    I ran GPU-Z and have posted my current vBIOS here:
    stoguild.info/pitcairn.zip
    Thank you in advance!

    No, that's not the S/N. If there's no other sticker that's bad. According to your provided vbios this gop one should be right:
    >>TV274MH.100<<
    Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0). Then unpack the previously provided archive and put the included file (TV274MH.100) on that stick. Rename TV274MH.100 to TV274MH.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also on the USB stick. Now boot from the stick. Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 TV274MH.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

  • MSI R7870 TWIN FROZR 2GDS - cant detect monitor. (no signal/no video input)

    I already post this before, but it seem it being blocked as I didnt have the genuine window. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162310.msg1189334#msg1189334)
    Fine by me. Now I alrdy have a genuine window and the problem still occur.
    I already test both the hdmi and the dvi but the result still the same. still no signal or no video input. And I also test the desktop on other monitor and the result problem pointed at the graphic card.
    And as stated in my previous topic, when I remove the graphic card can connect the monitor through the hdmi on the mother board it work fine.
    Here some spec of my desktop.

    Hope you guys can help me solve this problem. Thank you.

    as long as you take all the cables out one by one carfully without more then a few pounds of force with a slight wiggle as they come up its not that hard to do then take the whole PSU and the gpu to your friends house to see if it works
    hell if you dont want to plumb the whole unit into his rig on the main 20/24 pin connector find the green cables pin and any neer by black ground cable and jump your psu with a paperclip in the wholes and just connected to your graphics card in his case and psu outside his case to only power your card and flip the power switch to turn it on quite easy (10 mins to do max)!

  • Request:UEFI / GOP Vbios-MSI R7850 twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850

    I would like to request a UEFI / GOP Vbios for MSI R7850 Twin Frozr-2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 if one is available, my current vbios does not support UEFI / GOP. Thanks.
    serial number:602-v273-050B1303096145
    Gpu-z:  h**p://gpuz.techpowerup.com/13/10/29/9wg.png
    Would I just use the installer that is on this site to flash the bios, any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thankyou very much Svet,
    The card and operating system(8.1) works perfect now.
    What I did was, extract the files you gave me, and downloaded the ATIWinflash program,
     then I put the .150 file in the same folder, then renamed the .150 file to a .rom file,
    and used ATIWinflash to flash vbios(too lazy to go to the store), only took about 10 secs, then rebooted, and no more watermark :-),
    Thanks again for your help.
    I am glad I found this site or I would probably be just living with the watermark( Then again I don't think so, it was driving me crazy)

  • MSI 7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5 up-to-date bios?

    I have MSI 7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC
    S/N: 602-V273-050B1212085698
    I'm using VBIOS version:
    015.021.000.000.000861 (113-C4030400-X00)
    Motherboard: ASROCK 960GM/U3S3 FX
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-Bit
    Was looking for the most recent up-to-date bios attaching current bios below.
    Link to Bios:
    www.2shared.com/file/W28z912E/MSI_7850_Twin_Frozr_2GD5.html

    Latest VBIOS for the 050 is TV273MH.150
    flash it by booting from USB key to pure dos, then execute:
    atiflash -f -p 0 xxxx.BIN [ENTER]
    where xxxx.BIN will be your vbios file
    You may want to flash the mainboard bios to the latest version as well just to make sure, but it should be fine.

  • MSI N680GTX Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC minimum fanspeed

    I have a question about the MSI N680GTX Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC videocard. What is the minimum percentage the fan can be set (without modifying the bios)? And at which RMP are the fans running at in that case?

    For anyone who is interested, MSI gave me these answers:
    "40% is the minimum."
    "At minimum 40% the Fan RPM will be around 1000 range."
    But from someone who ows the card I got the following answers:
    The minimum is 35% in Afterburner and the will spin at 1260/1290RPM.

    If you want to ask if you can use TV273MH.150 then no you need TV273MH.111. Neither the gpu-z readout nor screenshot would be helpful without the S/N by the way as those do NOT readout the actual bios version.
    Now use attached TV273MH.111.

  • R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC "instability in gpu clock"

    Hello Friends. My name is Fernando, I'm in Brazil, my friend bought this video card on newegg, and sent it to me quickly, received in 20 days.
    In the first game, I realized that the games were not smooth, but walking into punches, as if between 25 to 60 fps constantly.
    I tested several other games and the same thing happens, so I decided to monitor the GPU-z and reached the verdict.
    In GPU Core Clock, there is a constant variation between 450Mhz ~ 1050Mhz, it all the time in a second. In game never gets in Full 1050Mhz.
    Another thing I noticed was the VDDC, this crazy, there is a large voltage variation is as if some voltage regulator was faulty or ready to quit funionar soon. It ranges from 0.825V to + - 1.6 or more, he has this instability with the GPU Clock ...
    I have another video card HD 7850, and this board, this variation does not happen when I'm in the game, the GPU Clock is always at 100%.
    I was sad because I was very anxious for this model from MSI, is there any bios that might fix this!?
    Thank you.

    Do you know someone that has another PC with a strong enough PSU where you can test the card on ?
    What GPU did you use before ?
    Bernhard, I did this test with R7950OC now, see the difference, the clock's are stable, as with the HD7850, now with the R7870, is taking small punches slow during the game, I believe it may solve if any bios more current ....

    mb:ta 890 fxe
    ram:crosair 4 gb 1600

    bc 2 dx11
    deus ex dx11
    all game with support directx 11 and Only 5 seconds of the game comes out and starts again after a few seconds without any problems
    Friends please help me to resolve my issue I think.
    I do not know the English language well,sorry

    Try increasing your core voltage using msi afterburner.  My card personally is stable at 0.9750mv and some users are stable at 0.9880mv.  Good luck mate!

  • MSI R7870 TWIN FROZR 2GDS - cant detect monitor. (no signal)

    I have a problem with my graphic card. It seem that it cant detect my monitor. I connect it through the hdmi cable.
    It seem that it not my monitor is the problem. When I remove the graphic card can connect the monitor through the hdmi on the mother board it work fine. Does this problem happen or related with the window genuine? It seem that my window is not genuine (LOL). This problem suddenly happen after the window is detected not genuine. But before the window is detected not genuine, this problem also happen several time but I just solve it by turning off my pc and restarted it.
    Hope you guys cant help me solve this problem as my friend said the genuine-lity or the window is not the problem, he going to check my pc tomorrow but in the mean time I just want know if you guys have a solution for it. Thank you.
