SLI problem, MSI gtx 280 super oc

I decided to get another gpu for my rig, the other being gigabyte gtx 280, and once I got the system running, it has been crashing usually always after a cold start (computed being shutdown for more than half an hour). By crashing I mean screen freeze. I have to shut the computer down and take the power off from the PSU. That fixes it untill I shut the computer down again for more than 30 minutes. I have tested both cards independently with OCCT, got no errors from memory and ran the gpu test for 1 hour straight and the temps stayed at 85C and no errors. RMA time or what could be the cause of the problem? Haven't had any such crashes when I was running a single gpu setting. Done clean install on graphics drivers, used driver sweeper etc. using the newest nvidia drivers. Had the same problem with every driver I have tried.
system specs:
cpu: AMD phenom x4 9950 BE @ 3ghz
psu: corsair hx1000 sli ready
memory: 4g OCZ ddr2 pc2-8500 1066mhz sli ready
gpus: gigabyte gtx 280 + msi gtx 280 super oc
mobo: crosshair II formula nforce 780a sli
hd: seagate barracuda 7200 500gb

well I can test the msi card again, but psu shouldnt be an issue, its a 1000w psu, is there any way to test if the pci-e slot is faulty?

Test it again alone, leave it full test.
Check ventilation system inside PC case and ensure that there is a good airflow.
Leave side door of the PC case open and add extra FAN to blow up directly to the VGA's.
Then re-test

See if you can place the second VGA in another pci-e slot instead, say 1st and 3th instead 1st and 2nd.
This also may help reducing heating

  • Buzzing sound coming from MSI GTX 280

    Hi guys,
    I purchased a new PC with a MSI GTX 280 OC and I got a buzzing sound coming from the case.
    I get the buzzing sound changing frequencies with certain 3D applications (games), windows vista screensavers, windows aero... i also hear when when resize/minimize/maximize the windows.
    I thought it was PSU related, as it was the gfx card pulling power, but I've tried a Corsair HX620W and a Antec TruePower 1000W and I still got the buzzing sound with both the PSU's.
    It seems originating from the MSI GTX 280.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem or what can be done?
    Also, for some awkward reason, I can't update my videocard drivers eithers. The installer holds at 50% and just holds without progressing. (I tried the official nvidia drivers and the ones on the MSI website). Same problem when manually installing the drivers.
    For what it's worth, the retail box was also quite damaged.
    Do I have a faulty card?
    or is a bad combination with the rest of my system?
    My system:
    CPU : Intel E8600 (2x 3.33 GHz)
    RAM : 4 GB Corsair
    GFX : MSI GTX 280 OC
    MOBO : Asus P5Q-E
    PSU : Corsair HX620W
    OS : Vista x64 Home Premium SP1

    Its a known fact that some GTX260/280, all brands, not just MSI, hum or buzz under load.
    This is due to certain electrical components on the pcb.
    Maybe you can RMA it, if you have a nice shop where you bought it and if your lucky the new one doesnt produce that sound, but no garantuees.
    Some hardcore tweakers will open up the plastic case and put a few drops of superglue on the copper windings and that will solve it.
    Its no more then reasonating copperwindings under load.

  • [Problem] MSI GTX 770 Blue Screen

    Good morning. I am new to this forum, my name is Karl. In December last year I bought a MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr. The board works fine, but have had many blue screens with nVidia drivers (official site). I decided to install the drivers from the MSI jointer (331.65) which worked well for a few months. This April 15 I began to have blue screens again, I've had five so far.
    I must say that my pc is in perfect condition and always keep in good condition.
    My Specifications:
    Processor: Intel I5 3570K 4.2 Ghz OC.
    Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-M
    Processor Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212
    HD: 1TB WD Blue
    Video Card: MSI GTX 770 2GB
    Memory: 2x4 GB Kingston Hyper Ram
    Please help! Do not understand how MSI does not release updated drivers but the 331.65 are very old!

    Remove current drivers in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot install latest Nvidia driver: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73780/en-us

    I still have the box. I dont know how to translate this. So the store says taking over my card on parole. The store send my card to i think the right description is manufactuer distribution or importer to decide to send my card the manufacture (i think...

    Thanks again got it sorted all a bit confusing even though it was conneted to dvi it is a vga screen but that makes no difference, found out from Nvidia as you said it is built into the bios  DVI,DP HDMI so as long as a dvi is connected it wont boot...

  • GTX 460 Hawk SLi Problem

    Hello
    I have this "small" problem with my MSI GTX 460 Hawk 1 GiG SLi.. Softwares like 3DMark Vantage and Bad Company 2 just dies/stops/vanishes/crashes in a wierd way... Once you are playing and then it just goes back to desktop like u didnt ever play the game or so.. like *puff*
    I have tryed many things to resolve this issue, mostly these common things what u can find from every forum.. reinstal drivers and change power rails and so on... Now i have tryed drivers 258 + 259 (msi recommended) + 260 + 260.93 beta and 3dmark 06 works fine with everyone of those.. But vantage and bad company 2
    gives me a problem and i guess some other games also but havent had time to try other games yet..
    Tho i got vantage work once when i runned it in vista sp1 mode and 258 drivers.. wierd.. ehh?
    I have already tryed so many things to resolve this that i dont have anymore ideas... What can it be? Can it be just a driver problem? I run both cards in 16x slots... Manual says slots 1 and 3 are x16 when sli so... directx is also updated...
    My comp specs are these..
    I7 930 @ 4 GHz (Stable)
    Asus Rampage 3 Xtreme
    6 gigs 1600 MHz DDR3
    850W Corsair HX850 (SLi Ready)
    MSI GTX 460 Hawk SLi
    WIN7 x64
    What info u guys/girls still need?
    Everything worked fine with cpu oc when i runned GTX 275... ofcourse its single card but cpu is stable anyways tested with intel burn and prime95..

    Hmmmm...
    Looks like @ this point that newest nvidia drivers solved the problem... 260.99... Vantage runs fine... one crash first.. then some driver bug or smth (RTTI crash or so)..  but third run went ok and over 31k points... So didnt have to remove any hdd´s or oc to get some more power ^^ thnx anyways for the replys, always great ^^

  • GTX 280 - Crashes and RMA - Theories on my life.

    I have a MSI GTX 280 OC purchased in July 08. This is the proverbial third year of warranty where its not so sweet anymore. Recently everytime i start a game, couple of minutes later my screen shows me a multi-colored mosaic and crashes on that screen. The only way to resolve this is pushing the hard off button and restarting.
    I tried re-installing drivers, reloading the OS, reloading the OS on a different hard drive. No luck. Then i put my card into another computer, and that one crashed too in the same way. I put my spare card in my original machine and games work (no longer pretty though). That pretty much concludes the investigation that it is the card that is bad.
    I have opened an RMA request and am currently waiting for an RMA number. I just want to know how badly I am screwed. Also has anyone had this problem before and what do you think I am going to get? A big fat bill which would be better off getting a new card, or a replacement card, or a newer refurb. Just want to know where I am headed.
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    Quote from: Svet on 26-October-10, 01:44:36
    Check VGA cooling system
    The fan on the 280 runs without issue.
    The card idles at about 40-45'C and when I game it goes to 65-70'C. It has always done this. I had run some extended temperature tests a few months ago and it was the same temperature then and now.
    I also checked the power outs on the PSU. The spare PC I tested with has a 1000W PSU and a GTX 470 running right now, the 470 also ran fine in my pc. so ive ruled out the PSU.

    I have 2 GTX 280 running in SLI with the new driver 182.06 vista 64 bit and everything works just fine.
    First remove the physx software , than the nvidia driver with ad / remove programs in the configuration panel.
    Restart you PC than install the new driver (182.06 vista 64 bit) and the new physx software (9.09.0203) is automatically installed with the driver. This is how i did it.
    I use evga precision 1.4 tool for my GPU's and GPU-Z and there it is confirmed that sli is working as well in the nvidia controll panel.

  • MSI GTX 660 TF 2GD5/OC (SLI) Running at 50% Core clock

    Hello there,
    In my home setup, I have two MSI GTX 660 TF 2GD5/OC cards installed in my Mainboard (ASRock 970 Extreme4) in an SLI configuration (together with a bridge, of course). I would say that everything is running fine.
    Though, with 3D mark, my core clock seems to be clocking in at 549 Mhz
    http://www.3dmark.com/fs/738108
    While in the official specifications, 1098 seems the normal rate (hm, that is exactly 50% slower).
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N660-TF-2GD5-OC.html#/?div=Specification
    I am using the latest (BETA) Nvidia Driver 326.41 driver.
    I have the feeling something is off, and my 3Dmark is actually a lot lower then it should be, since installing the 2nd card, my performance with Rise of the Triad 2013 and Super Street Fighter AE seems to have dropped (I can barely play in 3D anymore, while I had no problem doing so with a single card, and according to the Nvidia site, SSFIVAE supports 3D and SLI).
    Can you guys give me some pointers what might be the problem? Thanks in advance!

  • Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II - Problem

    Hey folks,
    Im having a problem with my Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II video card.
    I can't make it work with my monitor, all I get is "No signal detected"
    I know the monitor is fine, because I used it as it worked all good when I plugged it into
    my laptop. It's a BenQ G2222HDL monitor btw. It has one VGA (D-sub) and one Dvi-D input.
    So i've tried all types of cables (VGA, Dvi-D and even Hdmi cables), and
    still, can't get no signal. What can I possibly do to make things work?
    Also, my computer acts a bit wierd when it's starting up. Usually, I would turn it on, then it would turn itself off really quick. Then I turn it on again,
    and it goes just fine and runs smoothly. After I changed the position of some RAM modules
    and such, it changed. Now when I turn it on, the fans spin for 1 and there's just a tiny bit of noise until
    it turns itself off. Then I turn it on again, and it goes just fine with all fans and stuff spinning.
    So, I really need some help!

    Cpu - Intel i5 2500k, 3,3GHz, Socket LGA1155, 6MB with Noctua DH-14 CPU Cooler
    Motherboard - ASUS P8P67 PRO, Socket-1155, ATX, P67, DDR3, 3xPCIe(2.0)x16, CFX& SLI, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, FW, BT, EF

    Power Supply - Corsair HX Series 750 Watt Modular 80 plus silver (ATX 12v 63 amp)
    Haven't got a chance to install os, but will install Windows 7 64Bit.
    The monitor is a BenQ 21,5" LED G2222HDL (1920 x 1080, 5000000:1, 5ms, VGA/DVI-D)
    More background info; I build the computer myself. Everything went mostly fine, except for that I had to spend quite a long time to get everything right.
    I started the machine, and it all went just fine (except for rebooting and then running smoothly, as it has done ever since). I did the MemOK! test and everything seemed to be fine. But when using the VGA cable that came with the monitor, I couldn't get any signal detected (I used a VGA to DVI adapter to plug the VGA cable into the Msi 560 TI videocard). I used 2 different adapters, but nothing happened. I tried with a HDMI cable, just to test, and that did not work either. Then, I figured out I should order a DVI-D cable.
    So I ordered the cable, and went on to plug it into my monitor and my video card, no adapters needed. Still, no signal at all! Tried a different monitor to check if it was the monitor's fault. Nope, still no signal. Frustrated, I used the VGA cable again and tried to plug the monitor into the laptop, which worked just fine. A clear, bright image appeared. But not with my desktop computer with the Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II. Nothing works when I plug in the cables etc. No signal at all, although the computer itself seems to run just fine with fans spinning up and the different components making noise etc. Thus, I figured out there probably was something wrong with my Msi Geforce GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II. Now I dont really know what to do.
    Does anyone have an answer/advice/possible solution to my problem? I'm getting a tad frustrated now, seeing as I bought this computer 2 weeks ago and still haven't got to use it yet.

  • Gtx 280 sli temperature

    I have just bought 2 gtx 280 graphic cards. I instaled the cd drives from the msi cd but in my nvidia panel there is no physix and sli option. When i installed the latest driver osd vivid and all other programs disapeard.Any suggestions? I want the latest drivers with the osd vivid and other application. Also is there any program to ajust the fan speed or it is automated by the graphic card? My temperatures playing games reach 70 degrees and more.Do i have (and with what) to adjust the fun speed or that is beeing automated from the graphic card byself?
    Sorry for my poor English
    Thanx in advance for your answers.

    Temperatures around 90°C at load would be still fine. Anything less than 100°C is ok. GTX280 are running awfully hot, so what you got is normal.
    Riva Tuner would be good for fan control but don't lower fan speed too much. GTX280 are very noisy but they need high fan speeds in 3d.
    OSD vivid? I guess your talking of the features of the MSI drivers. Those are MSI modified nvidia drivers to include such tools. None the less those aren't that up-to-date as the nvidia drivers. So you will most likely don't get the latest driver plus MSI features. If I were you with a quite new vga like GTX280 which requires newest drivers I'd rather go for the latest nvidia driver. Latest MSI driver with Star OSD and so on is 177.42 which is waayyy to old. Many fixes and performance increases for GT200 series came with 18x.xx drivers. Best would be going for nvidia 181.22.
    First uninstall all currently installed nvidia drivers (also means the MSi ones) and then install 181.22 and SLi option should appear.

  • MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk SLI not available

    I have 2 MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk and when I go into Nvidia control panel SLI is not available as an option.
    Both cards are visible and working properly in both the Device manager and the Nvidia control panel and the bridge is installed between the cards.
    I am using Nvidia driver 285.62 which I have completely removed and reinstalled to try and solve the problem.
    The only strange thing I noticed when installing the cards is that there is a small switch next to the SLI bridge that is marked Performance and Silent. When I opened the boxes one card had the switch was set to performance and the other was set to silent. Looking on the net I found that this was how aggressive the fan control was so I set them both to silent. After running into the problem of no SLI I also tried shutting down the machine and moving both switches to Performance but this didn't fix the issue.
    Motherboard is a MSI Z68A-GD65 and Live update 5 says its up to date.
    Any pointer on where to look would be appreciated.

    K  problem sort of solved. I installed an old nvidia driver 270.61 and it works perfectly. Guess I'll just use the old drive until a game is giving me major issues and then see if a new drive is safe.

  • MSI GTX 660 + Asrock super fast boot not working

    I have asrock 970 pro3 with super fast boot requiring uefi gop card.
    i just bought msi GTX 660 TwinFrozer OC 2GB (sn  602-v287-050B1212061316 )
    when i turn on this option i got error message this card doesnt supoport uefi gop and thus cannot turn off csm (i dont have option to turn csm mode off on mb, its pure efi.
    Is it problem with board or card? or maybe it can be fixed with some modded rom?
    Really thanks for feedback

    just tried, i just got black screen and hangup, had to reset bios and swap graphic cards just to get to bios to turn super boot off.
    no more your card dont support, now there is only black screen of death. i even tried to attach it to yamaha 3020 to chech if there is any signal and there was none. Without uefi gop everything works fine.
    i think this is more of a problem.
