Re: R9 290x question

Contacted MSI tech support, my motherboard only supports Gen. 2, this seems to be the problem.

What BIOS version is on motherboard?
Dors your PC work fine if you use onboard graphics? What monitor do you have, and how do you connect it to PC? Can you try different...

Msi 290X Gaming Bios question?

I just got a used 290X Gaming for $350 off Amazon. Do the 290X boards usually already come with a UEFI bios or will I have to request it?
Thanks....

The 4G Gamings Bios switch is at the top of the card near the external connectors, the uefi mode bios is the "2" position on the switch, which is toward the rear/power connectors position. Its a pretty tiny switch so make sure your careful and have a good light.

Reference 290X to MSI 290X OC Driver Question

I have the 13.12 WQHL installed and am swapping the Sapphire Reference 290X for the MSI 290X OC.
Do I need to uninstall the driver, swap cards and then reinstall the driver or can I just swap the cards?

Swapping should work with the installed driver. You can try removing the driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<< and reinstalling a current driver after reboot in case of problems with the new card installed.

MOVED: R9 290X Gaming BIOS Status, Questions and Info

This topic has been moved to BETA & MOD BIOS Section.

Hmm? Wow. That's odd that something IS indeed different enough that those BIOS doesn't work on your card but does on mine. There must have been some revisions made on the physical board or something in the firmware hardware or something. ??
How old is your card? I just got mine in the last 3 weeks and though stock can sit around at suppliers for weeks, experience dictates that because stock is a 'revolving door', often the actual age of a component is somewhat relevant to when it is purchased.
I simply wouldn't try the Lightning BIOS for many reasons. Good advice and good to know either way.
I'm not willing to risk an expensive card but I've read of others who have flashed an HIS and Powercolor to an ASUS BIOS. Wonder if things like that are possible and what are the potential implications? I do have an old(er) 7970 than may be a good experimental device.

Mine is SLIGHTLY different...
Edit: I managed to flash V308MH.111 over V308MH.160 but it black screened as I got into Windows.. Since our cards have the same release date I thought maybe they were the same after all...
Edit2: I know it sounds like a no brainer but don't EVER EVER flash a lightning vBIOS on the gaming edition, screen wouldn't receive signal anymore. I managed to reflash the stock vBios thanks to MSI's genius 2-bios switch solution :D
Edit3: I tried flashing MH.100, same as 111, black screen in Windows

Problem with my MSI 290x gaming 4g performance in unigine valley benchmark.

First im dutch(netherlands) so sorry for my maybe bad english.
My system is:
Asus p8z77 v deluxe mb
intel 3770k cpu
16gb ram 1866 Corsair
2x ssd 256 gb OCZ
MSI 290x gaming
win7 64bit ultimate.
When i came home with my card i removed my old 7970 and replaced it with my new card.
Put some programs up like gpu-z cpu-z realtemp ext.
Then run Unigine-valley Benchmark with OC tool MSI at 1040 option.
My cpu at 4.2ghz OC
Score Unigine valley v1.0: 61.1 fps-score2558-min fps 30.3/max fps 112.8
Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
Seems ok result.
Now to problem i have.
So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?
3dmark firestrike gave first time score of 9655 and after my disaster with cpu failed attemp 9200.
My card is stuck at 60fps max it won't get any higher?
The GPU-Z also show PCI-E 3.0 X16@ X1 1.1and when i activate render i see it only change to x16 1.1 i never see gen 3.0.
CPU-Z info motherboard also only pci-express link with x1 and x16
My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?
Also posible that something with the OC attemp CPU broke something?
I also try change from AUTO to GEN3 in bios but then i get a blackscreen when i boot up it stays backscreen, have to change it switch videocards so i can see my boot again and go into BIOS.
Im at a lost here, hope one of you know a solution or whats my problem?
Hope ive supply enough info im bit of a newbie at this sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

MSI R9 290X Lightning hardfreezing randomly

Hello again everyone
As I've said in my first post requesting the new VBIOS that fixes the fan issues, I have recently gotten an MSI R9 290X Lightning.
I have had these problems since day 1, but I figured the new BIOS might help so I didn't mention them in my first post.
The problem is, after the installation of the card (i have not done any other hardware upgrades recently, the last upgrade i did was a year and a half ago with upgrading my PSU.) it started hardfreezing. I could only reboot the computer once it hardfroze, I could not move my mouse or do anything else. From what I have read from the one post that has pretty much exactly my symptoms ( www[dot]superuser[dot]com/questions/781673/random-hard-freezes-started-happening-after-installing-a-new-graphics-card ) is that apparently it is an incompatibility with the 700 and 800 series AMD chipsets. I would like some more confirmation though, as I have not found other sources saying that. It is still a relatively new card so the chances of someone using it on a not-so-recent mobo aren't big, so maybe that's why. Anyway, here are my specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1050t @ 3.5 OR recently @ 2.8 (default) GHz
Mobo: ASRock 890GX Extreme 3
Memory: Kingston 4GB (x4) KHX1600C9D3/4GX
GPU: MSI R9 290X Lightning
HDD: WD Green 1TB
OS: Windows 7 64bit
PSU: Thermaltake SMART M850W
This PC NEVER hardfroze before, and the only recent upgrade is the GPU. I have also done some other attempts:
1) Switched from Normal to LN2. No change.
2) Changed drivers. No change.
3) Changed bios AND drivers (since fans work then). No change.
4) Made sure the card is not overheating (it never crashes while playing a graphically intensive game anyway, it's ALWAYS on the desktop and/or in not so demanding games)
5) According to that post, I tried overclocking (and overvolting) it, while in both Original and LN2 with the additional 6 pin plugged in. While it did last a long time, it just crashed 5 minutes into booting windows earlier, so I can't say for sure. It is somewhat random when it crashes.
6) Used a system restore point to see if it might have been a software change. No change either.
One miscelaneous note: While it was on Original bios, it ALWAYS froze when launching Afterburner. I can confirm this as it froze 4 times exactly when Afterburner was started.
This is just about the most peculiar PC issue I've ever had so I really have no idea what else to do. I also ran a memory test, everything checked out fine.
Also, as I have said. It ALWAYS crashes on light load, no load (desktop) or when firing up Afterburner on Original bios. I ran a burn test 8 hours yesterday, and it did not crash. Then, 2 minutes after the test, it crashed while I was watching youtube. I can't seem to pinpoint the cause because, as I said, sometimes it crashes 10 minutes after the reboot (I am having to type this twice because of that...) or it can crash a day after reboot.
So, start with the suggestions guys!

Are all three power connectors of the Lightning connected?

[Request] Newest bios/ln2 bios for r9 290x lightning 4g

As tittle says im looking for regular bios and ln2 bios for r9 290x
Also got a questions about it.
Is 290x lightning uefi compatible and what exactly are meanings of GOP and rest of stuff type bioses.
GPU-z shows this:
and when i hover my mouse over it says its working in PCI-Express x1 v1.1 mode yet it also says it supports x16 v3.0.
Thx ahead.
S/N: 602-V307-010B1405xxxxxx - don't know if i have to put whole serial or is this enough?
//speedy.sh/hTRNt/Hawaii.rom - saved under LN2 mode
//speedy.sh/GQZEM/Hawaii.rom - saved under normal mode
-just add http: to link for rom (it doesn't allow me to put whole link...)

You are already using the latest vbios versions (TV307MH.101 normal vbios and TV307MH.111 LN2). Both vbios versions are UEFI GOP versions ready for UEFI Fastboot being GOP compliant (Graphics Output Protocol).
As for the PCI-E reading this is due to power saving mode limiting the PCI-E transfer rate. If you use GPU-Z click on the question mark next to the bus interface reading and it will start a render test and make the PCI-E slot work in load mode.

MSI RADEON R9 290X TWIN FROZR GAMING OC 4GB GDDR5

Hey all
Quick question. does this MSI RADEON R9 290X TWIN FROZR GAMING OC 4GB GDDR5 support the uefi bios?. also... if i have to update it, do i need to do it single or will it update both at same time as i have two of these?.
thanks in advance sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but i really not so sure :P don't wanna screw things up:).

Alrighty thank you that's good to hear so it will auto choose the bios needed?, so i can switch my bios back to normal? and will boot fine?, because i had sapphire 290x tri-vapour vt that had a switch to change to uefi mode. but i had to get them replaced as they died. and i was not sure if these msi ones where ready with uefi but yeah glad to hear that really , hopfully i get better luck with you guys i'm gona keep away from sapphire ^.^

290x lightning bios for fan control?

Hi, would an updated bios fix my 290x Lightning not having manual fan control?
Serial Number: 602-v307-04sb1403020690
Here's a link to the bios:
https : //drive . google . com/file/d/0B0bFt35qm1QVeWNhMW55Nmk2Tk0/edit?usp=sharing
The forum wouldn't let me post a link, so it has six extra spaces. Apologies.
Two side questions:
1) Afterburner (even after a reset) says +63 on voltage. Is that a display error and though it says +63 it's actually at +0 extra, or is it actually just defaulting to +63 right off the bat? So, for example, if I set it to +100 would that actually be giving it +100 or just +37?
2) With Afterburner no longer being updated for new features, is there an alternative program that is continuing development?
Thanks!

For the vios:
Use the attached UEFI vbios versions to fix the fan issue.
TV307MH.101 is normal vbios, TV307MH.111 is LN2
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (307_04s.rar) and put the included file (TV307MH.101 or TV307MH.111) on that stick.
Rename TV307MH.101 / TV307MH.111 to 101.rom / 111.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 101.rom (or 111.rom) [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

It is +63 by deafult (without changing values)? With Normal or LN2 vbios or both? Did anything change with new versions above?

I'm not aware of what you are talking as Afterburner is under development all the time. The latest version 3.0.0 final has just been released. >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Question regarding NULL and forms

Hi all, i have a survey that im working on that will be sent via email.
I'm having an issue though. if i have a multiple choice question, and the user only selects one of the choices, all the unselected choices return as NULL. is there a way i can filter out anytihng that says "NULL" so it only shows the selected options?

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

Fresh J:
A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.
