Revive FX 5200 - VTD128 ???

I have read elsewhere in this forum that to get a bios flash to do manually that you have to provide the serial number and part number.
Well, here's my story:
Had a GeForce 440 Mx 64Mb, and then got a FX5200 VTD128. Installed card, booted fine (vga out).
Put a second vga monitor into the digital port using the adapter. Blank screen.
Took a little bit but got it going again with just a single monitor hooked up.
I was getting lockups (hard lock) in WinXP after fifteen or twenty minutes with video playing. This is right after install. All this happening today.
X-((I then installed the utilities and noticed the auto bios update. Thinking at the time - Wow, that's a pretty cool feature. Thinking this would solve any lockups or other problems - I hit the button.
After the screen went blank, the box froze up. It says to wait 10 or more seconds but gave up after it being froze for 15 minutes.
Try to reboot. Blank screen - monitor stuck in Power Save mode. It looks like the computer is still booting, it isn't getting to the screen though.
It would appear that the bios is corrupted and there is no jumper, so it must not be a dual bios.
The only way that I can think as a solution is to get the bios and download it to a floppy or CD and flash it from there (don't have to see the screen to just flash it)
I am using the machine now (with Geforce 440 )to write this from so it does not appear to be the box itself.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here's all of my data:
P3 800
Asus P3V 4X motherboard
512 meg ram - SDram 133
Maxtor 60 GB
WD 40 GB
Adaptec 2640
WinXP SP1
Video Card:
MSI FX5200 VTD128
P/N 8919-020
S/N 0310908041

I am just trying this card out in a new system - still blank screen.
Put FX5200 VTD128 into a different machine with the same results - comp seems to boot fine by the sounds of it - just a blank screen (Power Save - orange light).
Old GeForce card works fine with this machine.
Spec's on new machine:
P4 - 1.6 - 256KB Cache
ASUS P4S333-M Socket 478 Onboard Audio & LAN
256 MB Ram
LG CDR
Power Supply - 350 W - LC-B350ATX
Thanks for info regarding Power supplies - this might have been the original problem in that the original machine only had a 250 W power supply.
Unfortunately this is where I now sit and I'm not sure if I can or should send the card back to MSI. I would prefer if I can somehow clear the BIOS myself and get it going without waiting for a few months on MSI service to fix it.

5200 VTD128 vivo

Does the FX5200 VTD128 MS-8907 from MicroStar allow TV capture from my satallite, I don't need the tuner or any of the special features, just can I capture to a video program with audio using just the SVHS cable. I'm on a tight budget so nothing really expensive.

The card does handle S-Video input, and the 1-4 Connecting Cable which should be supplied with the card (make sure it is) provides the socket for it. For the audio you'd run a cable between the audio outputs on the satelite decoder to the audio input(s) on the PC.

Trato de utilizar los profiles personalizados para cada aplicacion pero de ninguna manera logro hacerlos funcionar... los juegos a los cuales les aplico la configuracion especifica siguen usando la configuracion global...
Sera que algo estoy haciendo mal... lo primero que hago es agregar la aplicacion.. buscar el archivo ejecutable, asigno el nombre al profile... luego marco el check box y le doy la configuracion especifica de antialiasing y filtracion anisotropica.. luego le doy aplicar.. y a la hora de iniciar la aplicacion esta sigue utilizando la configuracion global y hace caso omizo a la personalizada...
La version del driver que tengo es la version de MSI 5663 que es la mas reciente y el sistema operativo es Win XP (sp1)
Alguna idea de cual sea mi problema?

Has probado reinstalando el driver? También prueba ejecutando los juegos utilizando directamente los ejecutables que especificas en los perfiles, y no los accesos directo. Nunca he utilizado los perfiles, pero creo q eso podría funcionar...

Problem with MSI Geforce FX 5200 & Westinghouse LCM-22W2

I've tried a bunch of different drivers and the highest resolution I can get displayed on this monitor is 1440x900. it's native resolution is one step higher, 1680x1050. Anyone have any ideas as to why my card refuses to display anything higher than this, even tho the latest drivers i have and all MSI's information specifically states that it should be capable of doing so?
Thanks,
-John

here's my specs - if i'm missing anything important let me know.
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon XP 2100+ (overclocked, recognized as 2700+)
MSI Geforce FX 5200 VTD128
1 GB RAM
Win XP Home, SP2 completely up to date
The Nvidia drivers are version 6.14.10.9371 released on 10/22/06 - I had a newer version but they didn't fix any problems, at this point i'm honestly not sure why I went back to this version :P - I had the absolute latest version from Nvidia's site, which the release notes specifically stated supported the Non-traditional 1680x1050 resolution, and that the FX5200 was supported by these drivers. Still didn't work.
The GPU Bios is 4.34.20.23.08
Also, upon startup my system was kinda hanging and I would get a notice that SW20.exe had crashed. I disabled sw20.exe and sw24.exe from starting up when the PC did and have no problems. It's not liek I miss them, cus I never used the overclocking functions of the graphics card anyway.
Originally XP was recognizing my monitor as a "Plug and play" monitor. The manual says this:
"VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the LCD monitor."
Right now the monitor is running with a custom inf file that PowerStrip (Which I downloaded from a link I found here) created for it. Westinghouse has no drivers or anything remotely helpful on their website.
Also, I'm using a Dual-link DVI cable, the monitor also has a VGA input.

Suspend mode ?? different modes ?? how to ??

Hi,
I would like to better understand how suspend modes are defined. The goal would be able to do stand by, from windows2k and leave the room quite, but being able to start up at a key stroke.
I have a key that would do a standby.... but all fans ( 9 BTW ) remain working.
Another option would be hibernate, which I am ok also, however it is slower. Can I return from hibernate from a key stroke ??.
The BIOS in the MSI K7D Master seem to have at least two or three different modes for stand by....
Any hints appreciated.
Thanks.
JCG
K7D Master L, 1GB ram, firewire, usb, fx 5200 VTD128 etc etc.. keyboard is a logitech with an special sleep mode key, like a laptop....

Hi rachel,
Mode transport is saved to the R/3 table TVTR and I don't see any standard middleware object that bring this table into CRM. You might need to create a custom object to map the tables across the systems. Moreover in CRM side this value is maintained as part of a structure and not to a direct transparent table.
Thanks,

Voltage question for Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers

Hi, I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this question has been answered in the past, but...
I just moved back States-side after living in Pakistan for about 6 months, and I brought my Pakistan-bought Inspire 5200 speakers. I don't know if I should buy a voltage converter or whatever.
On the AC adaptor, it says "PRL. :230V~50Hz 320 mA... SEC. : 2V ~ 4.2A". I read up a little on this stuff, and, unless I'm mistaken, in Pakistan, the voltage is 220V and 50Hz, while in the US, its 110V and 60Hz.
Is it safe to use the speakers here WITHOUT a voltage converter or a step-down transformer?
If it isn't safe, then what specific things do I need to pick up from Radioshack to make sure my speakers work and don't short-circuit or fry?
Thanks.

If you use the right step down transformer than it's perfectly safe. The problem is, step down transformer worsen the sound a lot unless you use the very expensi've one. But if you can't hear the different than it's good then, trust your own ear anyway. I think the best way is to change the adaptor.

5200 T128. my computer freezes when i try to run games

OK.. the thing is: i just bought a Geforce FX 5200 T128, with 128 MB DDR (the one without a cooling fan), and when i try to run my DirectX 9 games (GTA: Vice city, NFS: Underground, Hitman: Contracts) my computer locks up in the game's loading screen. These lock-ups occur also, when i set the anisotropic filtering at values higher than 2x, and/or when i turn the V-sync on, but only when i start a game..
ALSO...... the same lock-up occurs when i try to RENAME A FILE ------- the cursor is still blinking, but EVERYTHING else freezes.
So? whats up guys.... last time i checked the FX 5200 had support for DX9, didn't it?
Well, i can't tell exactly if the problem is common to all DX9 games, because i didn't tryed many of them... but the games listed above, all require DX9. Furter more, those games ran on my older Geforce2 MX400, witch doesn't have support for DX9. All my other non DX9 games work fine (well not to the max, because i still have a mainboard witch supports only AGP 4x). If i change my mainboard to one with AGP 8x will the problem be solved?
Also, the videocard, out of my opinion, gets too hot after i play a game, but i don't think this should be the problem, because when i try to start those games, my computer still locks up, even though i just started it, and the videocard didn't have time to overheat.
The problem occurs with both the driver from the CD that came with the card, and the new Forceware 56.72. I haven't tryed oder drivers. The videocard is not overclocked, and the frequencies are on the standard 200 Mhz (GPU), and 400 Mhz (RAM)
So, can you help me out here.. give me some suggestions? I have written here all the information i beleive are relevant to the problem. My processor is a 1200 Mhz AMD Duron, and 256 MB SDRAM
------------- -------------

Obi One,
Have you tried changing the AGP voltage in your bios to 1.6V? Got the same problem before when running 3D games. My system doesn't lock up but it gives me weird display (lot of greens). It was solved when I increased my AGP voltage setting from 1.5V to 1.6V. You may want to post your power supply specs too because the FX cards are really power hungry.
Good Luck

Takes long time to start mobile 5200

How to install wireless on a Satellite 5200-903?

Due to a very bad virus I recovered Windows on a Satellite 5200-903 of a friendly businessman. But back home he saw: no wireless LAN could be used... It seems, that cause the WLAN-switch was "off" no WLAN-driver was installed/recovered...
Now he wants to come to me again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - and I MUST know, how to install everything until then... he also will bring me his router, so I can configure everything for him on the notebook AND router (WPA, if possible).
But I found TWO drivers: one was a direct download of a small file of "Agere" - wlesslan-xp-7620390.zip
The other is from "Atheros", and the download is a links to another website "Toshiba EMEA - Wireless LAN Driver Portal" http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads , where I have to identify the WLAN adapter... But: on the first download-site (I mean BEFORE redirected to "Toshiba EMEA") there is at the list "Model" NOT any Satellite 5200.
Which driver is correct? Are there different WLAN-adapters in the 5200-903 series? Is it possible to find out the adapter model BEFORE he gives me the Notebook?
And in the list of drvers for the 5200-903 there was a download "WLAN hotkey" wlkey-xp-2003.zip ? Do I need that too? Do I need any other things?
And does such an "older" WLAN-Access work in another way than the integrated WLAN of a centrino e.g. ? I just know how to log into a WLAN with newer notebooks: button "wireless networks" on the right buttom oft windows, then chose the WLAN name to connect and type in the key, if needed.
Please help me, he lives 100 miles away from me and has not much time, he comes again to me just for that matter, and of course he was not amused when he returned home and couldn't connect to the internet... and he's an ABSOLUTE noob in technical things, so I cannot tell him how to do it on his own and need your help quickly.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Herb
I just want to make the whole story short and simply. After installing OS install drivers for hardware components. According the notebook specification for Satellite 5200-903 it is WLAN ready model and I do not know which WLAN card is inside. You friend should have info about that.
If there is Atheros WLAN card the right driver you can find HERE
After driver installation install all Toshiba designed tools and utilities starting with COMMON MODULES. It must be installed at first. WLAN-hotkey utility is important because using FN+F8 key combination you can enable/disable WLAN card.
WLAN software (Atheros WLAN client utility) is not necessary because for WLAN you can use WXP WLAN settings. You can use it if the WLAN card is activated properly.
So I hope you will set WLAN properly and if you need more assistance please write again.
Bye and good luck!

Iris Pro 5200 or similar in 13'' rMBPs

Hi,
To my understanding the very reason why Apple opted to employ Iris 5100 instead of Iris Pro 5200 in its late 2013 and mid 2014 13'' models is because of the energy (28 vs 47 watt TDP) they drain. In other words, if Apple had employed Iris Pro 5200 in 13'' rMBPs, then the battery life would have decreased compared to earlier 13'' rMBP iterations, which would be a wrong step for Apple and something unacceptable to consumers.
In this regard I was wondering:
1) approx. how much the battery would decrease if Iris Pro 5200 were employed in Haswell rMBPs?
2) From the Wikipedia article on Broadwell and its "expected variants" section, I gather that one of the Broadwell CPUs will be a 37 Watt TDP dual-core CPU with an embedded GPU that has an integrated eDRAM. 37 watts is still quite not near to 28 watt but considering the fact that Broadwell is said to be that it will be significatly more power efficient compared to Haswell, do you think such CPU would be employed in the Braodwell iteration of 13'' rMBP without negatively affecting its 9 hours battery life?

We are just end users here.
http://www.apple.com/jobs/
Apple doesn't release hardware specs of upcoming models, and such discussion is forbidden on this forum. Apple has a very tight non-disclosure agreement for those who do test its products.
I am not asking for insider information nor a position at Apple but rather opinions from tech-savvy users who might have insight due to their knowledge and/or using Macs for some time. Just as Oglethorpe who provided a different perspective based on info on previous Apple products. I am sure there must be some forumites who would know technical details and may deduce, at least approx., what current 13'' models battery life would be if they were employed with Iris Pro 5200 and whether the Broadwell update may see an integrated GPU with eDRAM similar to Iris Pro 5200. For instance guys at Anandtech make some projections based on their technical knowledge. Are they working at or for Apple? Are they testing for them and violating a disclosure agreement? Of course not! In short, I am really surprised how you could interpret my query this way.

Memory speed of fx 5200 cards

I can't find out detailed spec of MSI's fx 5200 cards:
- does any of these have 64-bit memory interface (as some 5200 cards do)?
- what is speed of cpu and memory
For instance, what's difference between FX5200-TD64 and FX5200-T64? First one has dvi out, cooler fan and larger board, but that's not what interests me - I would like to know differences in cpu and memory speeds.
Some benchmark numbers would be nice too, at least 3D Mark 2001.

I'm looking for budget card and I know what I can expect from that. You're right, memory speeds are not crucial here.
However, some fx 5200 have 64-bit memory interface (I know for some Gainward cards) which makes HUGE difference, even for low budget cards. Difference is something like 3500 vs 7000 points in 3D Mark 2001.
I would be satisfied with normal 5200 performance (I'm upgrading from MX400), but not with cripled one (64-bit), and I don't know whether FX5200-TD64 and FX5200-T64 have 64 or 128 bit memory bus.

Does the 6600GT-VTD128 support video capture?

Hi,
I recently purchased an MSI 6600GT-VTD128 video card. The product information seems to suggest that the card has video input capabilities, and there is an adapter that plugs into the card that has a number of connections, one of which is labeled S-Video in. However, I haven't been able to get any video capture to work.
Does the card actually support this functionality? If not, what are the video input connections for? If so, is there some documentation as to how to set it up?
So far, I tried installing the video capture drivers that come with the card. I checked the manual. I checked the MSI web site FAQs. And I searched the forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks Richard. Yes I do have a breakout cable like that. Actually, I described it in my original message. So, I am guessing from your message that you believe that the card should have the capability to capture video.
In my original message, I asked if there was any documentation on setting up the card for video capture. The manual does not describe the procedure, nor does the MSI web site.
There are drivers on the CD that claim to be for video capture, but they had no effect when I installed them. In fact, there appears to be no way to tell whether the drivers were actually installed successfully.
If anyone out there has successfully used this card for video capture, please let me know.

G5 Second Display using the GeForce FX 5200 - Non-Standard

I want to attach a second display to my machine, but the second plug on the card is a non-standard DVI-type connector. It looks like this:
x x x x x x x x x x X X
x x x x x x x x x x -----
x x x x x x x x x x X X
...with 10 rows of 3 as opposed to 8.
I have had trouble finding an adapter to use to convert this to VGA (which is what I meed to connect my second monitor). I've searched the Apple Store online to no avail, as well as Google. Perhaps I've had no luck because I don't know the name of this part.
Any help is much appreciated!

Hello! Does the port look like the one below? If so you'll need an adapter. Tom
Actually, HERE is the page i was looking for that shows and describes all dvi connections.

How I revived my MBA after 10.6.3 update: Combo Updater to the rescue!

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know how I managed to revive my MBA when it would no longer boot after a failed update to 10.6.3 using Software Update.
I want to provide as many details as possible, so this will be looooong.
*The problem:* Late in the evening, I got a message from SU that new updates were available. I downloaded the updates to 10.6.3, iTunes 9.1, and three other apps. The machine logged me out, did the install and then suddenly quit with an error message when the whole process was about 95% complete. It immediately rebooted as well but got stuck at the Apple logo and the spinning gear. I could only power it down by holding the power button >4 secs.
*What I tried:* I used a PC to go online and look for help. So I tried: an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, a safe boot (hold Shift key) and a single user boot (hold Command-S). Nothing worked. Slight panic, as the MBA cannot work in target disk mode (no Firewire!) and I had not yet activated Time Machine.
Luckily, I had installed Boot Camp some days ago and a version of Windows. With the new Boot Camp 3.1, Windows can read the Mac HFS filesystem. As it turned out, Windows booted fine and could indeed read and copy my files (with total disregard for any security... nice). So my most important docs were safe.
Still no Mac OS X boot though. Holding Command-V at boot (which allows you to watch the boot process) showed that the machine consistently got stuck after loading AppleCPUPowerManagement (or similar). After doing the SMC reset, it seemed to get stuck a little later, when listing the allowed WiFi channels in my region. However, nothing could get it to boot.
Now I do own an MBA Superdrive so I could boot from the Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD. Running Disk Utility showed that nothing was actually wrong with the SSD. It just refused to boot. So I opted to do a 'backup and install' of 10.6.0 from the DVD. It took quite a while, but ran through okay. However, after restarting, the MBA would still not boot. Argh!
*The solution:* Like many Mac users, I did not know that Macs can boot from USB drives. But Intel Macs can! So I went over to my wife's Mac Mini and used Carbon Copy Cloner to make a 1:1 copy of its system drive on a portable HD. I could at least boot my MBA now and backup my personal files in proper Mac format. Right? Eh, no. The boot went well, but under my wife's username I was of locked out of my own home directory. There are probably utilities to circumvent this, but I tried something different first.
I had read on the web that the huge 'Combo Update' files for Mac OS X sometimes do a better job at updating all necessary files. They also allow you to write the update to a different HD than the current boot drive. So... still working off the copied Mac Mini disk, I downloaded the 10.6.3 Combo Updater (>700MB!) and applied it to the MBA's boot disk. It took ages, seemed to get stuck at several points (I really hate not having a drive activity LED) but finished.
Restarted my MBA and presto! Everything fine. Immediately did a full backup and a software update of course. My MBA had gone from 10.6.2 to 10.6.0 to 10.6.3 - Safari, Java and a number of other things needed updates. But it went well.
Hopefully this'll work for some of you too. I'd try booting from a different disk first and running the Combo Update. It will probably solve your problems.

sebuchen1954, sometimes an audio problem can be completely independent of a video problem; for example, when GoToMeeting 4.1 ran on my computer, the video worked fine, but the audio was straight out of +Alvin and the Chipmunks+ when it went through a USB headset. (That problem was fixed in GoToMeeting 4.5.)
Is your partner running the latest Windows version of Skype (4.2.32.155 at this time)?
Since your partner has Windows, perhaps [AIM|http://products.aim.com/windows] (version 7.2.6.1 is currently the most recent version) would be a functional iChat analogue for Windows?
