TWIN FROZR II/OC N580GTX stability issues, bios update.

Good day,
I've recently purchased this hardware and it seems like it has stability issues. Can be fixed only by changing voltage from stock 1.013 to 1.038 in MSI Afterburner.
I've already contacted MSI Service Team and they sent me a bios update.
BIOS file is: NV255MS.103
Can you help me with updating bios, with step by step manual? I know there have been plenty of subjects like this one, but I'm still afraid that I might do something wrong concerning my model.
912-V255-022
N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
S/N: 602-v255-01SB1101008958 (that is what sticker on my package says)
Thank You in advance!

Create a USB key bootable
How to make USB key bootable: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
Once done rename NV255MS.103 to 103.ROM,
then copy 103.ROM to the USB key.
Then get attached flasher, and extract & copy both files nvflash.exe and CWSDPMI.EXE
also to the USB key.
Then reboot the computer and boot from the bootable USB key,
when you see A:\ or C:\ type:
nvflash.exe -b old.rom [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, this will backup/save your current VBIOS.
Then flash the new VBIOS with:
nvflash.exe -4 -5 -6 103.ROM [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, then reboot the machine and you're done

  • GTX 580 Twin Frozr II O/C - confused by bios version number, and how to flash

    Hi, my first post here. But I've been reading a bit here. Still, I get confused by this whole vga bios thing, version numbers and how to flash... Ok, so here's my situation:
    I have two PC's. Both with one MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 card inside. It seems to me that both are working according to specifications, GPU-Z reports:
    GPU clock 800 Mhz, Memory 1024 Mhz, Shader 1600 Mhz for the borth of them.
    Now, one of them seems not to be totally stable (this is the newest I bought a few days ago). It locks up/crashes in some games. The other seems ok, I've been having that one for a while. Could this be a GPU core voltage problem? GPU-Z reports for the both of them:
    VDDC 0.955 v
    I've tried running MSI afterburner, changing core voltage to 1025, and in afterburner settings enable "Force constant voltage". Still, GPU-Z, which I keep running at the same time, still reports only 0.955. I thought this setting in Afterburner would change voltage to 1.025?  This situation is for both the old one and the new one.
    Now to the Bios "problem".
    The newest card (the not so stable one) reports through GPU-Z: Bios Version 70.10.20.00.01
    The oldest (stable) card: Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
    So... which one has the newest bios? Seems to me it is the newest card.
    BUT - when running MSI Live Update 5 (newest version) it says for both the cards that they have the the newest bios version, and there's no need to upgrade??
    SO - I go to the MSI webpage: http://no.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=BIOS  to download the newest bios manually, just in case.. But there it gets more confusing. The Bios version found there is :NV255MS.104(.zip).
    And also, on that page I can not find how to use that file. Extracting it just gives me the file NV255MS.104    and no extension.
    So, which bios is the newest one? 70.10.20.00.01  (the highest number, in the new card, but not stable in some games), 70.10.17.00.01 (in my old card, but seems stable in the games I've tried), or NV255.104  (which I don't know how to use).
    I've flashed my main board bios many times over the years in various set ups, the bios on two different SSD disks and so on.. never had a problem with that, or finding out if I have the correct bios, how to do it and so on.
    Maybe I'm stupid, but this MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 bios thing confuses me a lot... So, how do I solve this situation?   

    I am also interested in the answer as I have 2 MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC cards. I can find the latest BIOS file "NV801MS.KG4.zip" and know the version is "KG4". But how do you relate this to the current BIOS version Afterburner or GPU-Z provides? The version they each provide is "70.10.17.00.01" for both cards. The only other way to determine if they are up to date is to install and run MSI Live Update. MSI Live Update responds that they are up to date with no current version or online version information on the Live Update tab. At least the information on the Home tab states the same VGA BIOS version as GPU-Z and Afterburner. I can can only assume that the BIOS is updated by using MSI Live Update.
    Also just for the additional information GPU-Z displays my VDDC as 1.039 briefly then 0.995 constantly when switching between cards. I actually have the cards set to 1.050 with Afterburner to be stable when running Crysis 2 DX11 updates.

  • MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE strange heat issue!

    Hi guys,yesterday i've decided to upgrade my PC with brand new Sandy Bridge configuration,but after the first boot i've had a very unpleasant surprize with my VGA card .Right after power on my PC everything went good,display was on and showing the Bios Setup screen,but after 30-40 seconds my the VGA fans started to spin at full speed and restarted the system but after that my 40" lcd display was only showing  "no signal detected" .From this point i've tried everything to get my system going,i've disabled the onboard VGA,swapped RAM modules,toggle every PCI and PCI-E add-on cards,bios reset but the issue was still there.
    A couple of times i've managed to get into Windows OS but after 10 second the PC restarted again.I'm not really sure what's the issue here but i do noticed that after 10 second from boot the VGA card is getting very hot (can touch it only for 1 second) but only in the area near the power connectors,next to the capacitors...
    Here's my configuration:
    - CPU: Intel i5 2500K
    - MoBo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
    - RAM: Corsaire Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 1866
    - PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 W
    - VGA: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
    - Case: Cooler Master HAF-X
    BTW,my old MSI Radeon HD4870 is working with the above configuration and i also tested the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE on 3 different PCs same had same issue,so if you guys have any idea about this issue please post here.

    Yeah,i've already compiled the RMA form with the retailer but it doesn't have this VGA in stock anymore.I really hope it won't need months for the RMA procedure.

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

     bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
    Hello,
    ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
    Tech specs:
    MB: z87-pro
    CPU: i7-4770K
    GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    latest OS updates
    latest nVidia drivers
    I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
    I've attached my GPU Bios.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
    Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
    Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
    Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
    What did the BSOD say? Error code?
    Heya, thanks for the reply.
    That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
    OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

  • MSI z87 G43 OC GENIE ISSUE/Bios UPDATE

    Hi Everyone, This is my First time posting to the forums.
    Here Are my System Specs Before I post the question
    Motherboard: msi z87 g43
    CPU: intel core i7 4770k (haswell)
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance Ram ddr3 clocked at 1333mhz, 16gb, using 4 4gb sticks.
    GPU: evga gtx 770 nvidia
    PSU: Bronze certified psu at around 850 watt.
    CPU COOLER: is a standard corsair single radiator water cooler
    QUESTION/PROBLEM:
    Ive had this computer built for about a year (basically right when the gtx 770 released). I have no problems with the device and it works perfectly. The motherboard however is where my problems starts to arise. I tried my hand at overclocking but ended up with a blue screen after some stress testing and just set my values back to default. But since then I really havent tried anything new with it. However, I noticed OC genie and I thought hey maybe Ill try this out for a chance. So I boot up and go into the bios set up (all values are default) and press the oc genie.As soon as the screen flashed back up I get a black screen and can not post. The only way to actaully fix this is to reset my CMOS which luckily I know how to do. But the black screen displayed also had a number letter combo at the bottom. It displayed 9C at the bottom in white. But when I get a successfull boot into the bios right beofre the bios logo I get a black screen with A2. But the A2 appears in every boot. Now heres where things get funky. I have a logitech Camera I use primarily for skype. When I have the device plugged in before the computer is booted. When I try to boot I get the black screen with the 9C, but when I unplug and reboot, I get the A2 and I get into my OS.
    Now I tried overclocking again at 46 multiplyer with a 1.2v but When I did I get text saying its not successfull and resets my bios info, (which is cool considering oc genie didnt do this it just corrupts my CMOS).
    So you must all be asking what version of the bios I have and the answer is 1.0....
    Now I know there is a 1.9 and even a 1.A version which came out this year in 2014
    The problem with this however is I know the dangers of flashing my bios and it can really screw up my mobo as in brick the darn thing. But from what I read, Live update form msi does not work and I shouldnt use it. But Is flashing the bios via the bios set up where there is a section specifically for flashing safe to do? With the oc genie not working im scared to try flashing my bios via the bios setup if that makes any sense
    To wrap it up, is it a problem with my mobo, do I need to update my bios to fix it? If yes then what is the safest way of doing it since ive never done a bios update before (but i get the concept put the up date on a FAT 32 load it from it in the bios set up option let it do its thing and boom ) .

    The method above does NOT apply to your board. Either use MFlash (bios + ME option) or use the below:
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive (E7816IMS_1A0.rar.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB 
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash

  • 2 x GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC in Sli issue

    Hi and I hope someone can help with this issue.
    I currently have a setup with 2 x GTX580's in SLi. To this I have 2 x DELL U2711 IPS monitors attached.
    The problem I am having is in relation to the screen resolution. According to the GPU spec's the max resolution for the GPU is 2560x1600, however when I try to set the max screen res for my DELL's which is 2560x1440 the text becomes all pixellated and unreadable. If I bump this down to 1600x1200 then the res is OK but obviously not what I require. I am using Dual link DVI cables connected to the first card.
    I am trying to display across the 2 monitors in extended mode.
    I have tried several Nvidia drivers but the issue is the same each time.
    Questions are:
    Will the 2 x GTX580's display out at max res when using 2 x monitors in extended mode.?
    Is there a limit on screen res when the GPU's are in SLi.?
    Any advice would be appreciated

    Ive sorted the problem myself..
    Thanks ever so much for the help....NOT

  • GTX 570 Twin Frozr III POWER Edition supply issues

    Hi there,
    I've always been a fan of MSi products, so when the time came for me to start looking for an upgrade to my current graphics card, I started looking to what MSi had in their range. After some research, the GTX 570 TFIII seems a good option for me, as it gives good performance at a reasnoble price.
    Unfortunately MSi seems to have fallen off the map in South Africa. I cannot find any retailer or wholesaler to even give me an eta for 570 or 580 chipset cards in the country, and I've tried all of the suppliers listed on your site and a few that arn't listed. Is there some worldwide shortage of these models? Did the ship sink? Have MSi forgotten where South Africa is?
    Any help with the procurement of these cards would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to start importing from the U.S/Europe myself, and I'd like to get an MSi card if possible, rather than go for a different make.
    regards,
    Al

    Welcome to the forum Alandrix.
    None of us work for MSI and as such we cannot answer to the supply shortage reasons.
    We are at the mercy of the importers. MSI has no official representation in South Africa and all their products are imported by these distributers who have standing contracts with MSI.
    Only these importers can supply you with information as to what is on order  by them and as to when thses shipments are expected.
    As for bringing this to MSI's attention, I suggest you open a ticket and describe the situation to them. That is the only way that MSI will be aware of any seeming neglect with regards to product availability by their official importers/distributers. >>How to contact MSI.<<
    Its unfortunately the way it is and it will remain that way until MSI decides to invest in some official representation on the African Continent.
    Check your PM. I posted a local contact that may be able to assist in your query.

  • Final Cut X Stability Issues from update.

    Hello,
    I have been working problem free with my FCPX until the last update. Since the update to 10.0.4 my Final Cut is now useless. Everytime I open it - it last about 20 seconds before the program crashes.  Even if I do nothing for 10 m,inutes and then try to open any of my projects it crahes during the loading of the project. I have send over a dozen support requests to apple via the "send to apple" feature as well as attempting to reinstall the program.  I first thought it was related to one one project but it is multiple projects.  This is a huge problem for me and is stopping me from getting any of my work done. I have removed and reinstalled the product once but nothing was changed. I have even asked a rep at a apple stoer and they told me to call support or get on here. Please advise. Is there a way to roll back to 10.0.2 or 10.03?

    Trashing the preferences is an essential first step whenever FCP X (or any other pro editing app) starts behaving problematically.
    Corrupted preferences can occur at any time and lead to a tremendously wide range of symptoms which appear to have nothing to do with the preference settings.

  • 570 Twin Frozr II OC SLI - One card fried - Bios wrong?

    Hi there,
    I have a new pre-built custom system and in less than two weeks I started getting crashing problems, first of all I would get a BSOD with a WHEA error and after that it would just reset without a BSOD or anything in Kombustor or Furmark.
    To cut a long story short, I have RMA'ed one of the two cards and hoping that the Corsair HX850 power supply wasn't the culprit and is adequate that the supplier claim.
    I noticed one thing which may have been the cause.
    On both cards the bios version was 70.10.17.00.03 with the clocks running at 784 / 1050 / 1572
    That is clearly above the spec of the card, so not quite sure what is going wrong there. My supplier is currently out of stock but I know someone who has just purchased the same card from them and the clocks are something like
    750 / 1050 / 1550 or there abouts.
    Do you have an updated bios that I can flash to try and prevent this from happening again? I don't have access to the SN and PN right now as the packaging was thrown away by Aria.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Yeah, the cards both had the crazy 786 / 1050 / 1572 clocks.
    Here's the .222 update, it was only released today. I haven't tried this yet.

    Flash them both to this VBIOS version: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146141.msg1087564#msg1087564
    retest
    And retest.
    If problem persist then go for 222
    Both 221 and 222 has the same fixed/decrease freq. compared to original one as followed:
    750/1500/4000 reduced from 786/1572/4200
    v222 has a bit extra vcore if the VGA is still unstable even with reduced clocks.
    So try 221 1st, which should take care of the issues.
    Only if 221 doesn't helps, then go for 222 instead

  • N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC Stability Issues

    Hello! I've recently purchased an MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC and I'm having the much talked about stability issues (CTD, black screens etc.). From what I've read it seems like the best solution is to tweak the voltage in Afterburner until you find a stable solution and then after thorough testing, request a custom BIOS flash.
    Is this the best way to go? I'm presently at work so I can't actually get started right away  but I'd like to have a game plan in hand for when I get home tonight. Currently my card clock settings should be what they were out of the box although I've also read that some cards didn't come over clocked so what it says on the box might not be exactly what it's running at. I can look up the various card details this evening if it's necessary.
    Also I'm not super concerned if I had to down clock or if the card didn't come over clocked. I just want to get it running stably
