Very disappointed GTX 670 OC still has problems after international RMA

I bought the N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC vga in amazon in the United States and brought it back with to Brazil me 6 months ago. At that time I got red screen of death RSOD and send it to RMA in the US (which cost me more money) since the local MSI office doesn't accept products bought outside Brazil.
6 months later, I have the board with me.
I updated nvidia drivers, plugged in the card and this was the result after first boot:
After four tries it booted into windows and everything seemed normal. After playing BF3 for about 15 minutes the screen goes black and I have to hit the power button to reboot. Sometimes it would show me a driver crash inside widnows "nvidia driver stopped working bla bla". Last try I couldn't boot into windows and the blue screen appeared again. I am able to run windows only in safe mode.
I am very disappointed with MSI product quality and customer service.
Any ideas of what I could try before sending this thing back AGAIN? I tried downclocking the board, no luck.

Current Vbios: NV284MS.101 This is the latest legacy Vbios.
There are some later Win 8 UEFI Vbios, but they may not be compatible with your main board. Is your mainboard have Win 8 Options in bios? You are welcome to try the vbios, but your computer may not boot after if it ins't compatible. You would need another computer in order to flash the vbios back to legacy in that case.
You may want to test the card in another computer as well to verify where the problem lies first. If the problem re-occurs in another omputer, then try that gop vbios.

  • WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

    I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router.  I have configured all equipment on my  wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's.  My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
    I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet.  I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router.  Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files.  The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error".  As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
    My connections are:
    A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
    I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
    My questions::
    1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)?  Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
    2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router  Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring?  (This is the stuff I don't really understand.) 
    3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
    All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply,
    As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
    Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
    I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work.  Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode.  On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes).  That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles".  It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network.  All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
    Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network.  In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver.  At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS.  I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router.  Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS.  Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver  . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message.  Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security.  Result is identical.
    To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router.  With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly.  Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this.  I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing. 
    Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network.  Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx.  I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that.  Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices.  All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater.  The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
    Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer.  It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

    When I select a clip, the Info pane no longer tells me it's duration, name, or any of the other info (besides TC) that it used to show under CS5.5 while I'm trimming the clip.  Not good.  I depend on it for a lot of... info.

  • Ever since upgrading to 10.8.4, iMac has problems after waking up from sleep

    Finder windows are blank and non responsive, with spinning beachball...try to restart Finder, endless beachball...I didn't have this problem at all with 10.8.3...Help!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How many still suffer problems after MLB replacement !?

    Hi,
    I've had my MacBook for around 4 weeks now, 1.5 of them spent in repair after one kernel panic and the inability to start up afterwards. I received it back yesterday and everything worked fine all night.
    I'm currently at work so haven't had chance to check myself, but my girlfriends just rang me to say that the computer won't boot up !?
    I think if there is another issue I'll be demanding my money back and purchasing something I can rely on like a MacMini !?
    Has anyone else suffered similar problems after an MLB replacement !?
    I understand that there are work arounds like resetting the PRAM etc, but would you accept this if say you'd bought a new car and after it having problems on ignition being told by the dealer that it'll work, but you have to remove the battery and clean the spark-plugs every time you want to use it !!
    I think Apple should really start offering replacements or people there money back, and even start recalling them until they've identified the problem !!

    Hi,
    At this point after more than a month of having your MacBook, you cannot get a full refund, or return the MacBook either. My friend has tried to do that with his MacBook, but Apple will not allow them to return or even exchange the MacBook. Soory about that, but if you continue to allow Apple to fix the problems, you will get a working MacBook eventually. By the way, you may want to ask your girlfriend to reseat the battery, make sure the computer is plugged, and if that doesn't work try resestting the NVRAM and the PMU. Also, you can try and reseat the RAM. Hope this helps.

  • Very disappointed that Lion is causing major problems with disable students assistive software in the UK. Software suppliers are not issuing patches/upgrades until 2012. Totally unacceptable attitude from Apple in ignoring disabled customers

    This is going to affect a large number of disabled UK students as patches and upgrades for the specialist software are not due for release until late 2011/early 2012.
    Only options they have is to revert to Snow leopard, defficult as Apple have even recall resellers stock and upgraded it to Lion.
    I am contacting the UK educational funding bodies with a view to suspending purchasing of all Apple equipment until such time as the situation has resolved itself.

    Ikrups says "Speaking of getting one's professional act together I would take a look in the mirror if I were you. A professional responsible for maintaining the computer equipment and network of a school system would certainly perform extensive testing of any new operating system upgrade before deploying it. Even the smallest corporations don't just upgrade software willy-nilly. If you had thought to set up a test system and verified what software worked and what didn't before deploying Lion to the entire system you would have been protecting your students from these issues. A professional would have discovered these issues and delayed deployment of Lion until the patches you mention were available. But you didn't and now you are trying to deflect blame from yourself and your staff. And you dare to accuse Apple of incompetence. I call hypocrisy"
    I seem to have ruffled a couple of feathers. I do not remember saying I was responsible for computer systems/networks/school systems. Or accusing Apple of incompetence.
    All I did was state that Apple seems to have forgotten or is not aware about the potential impact of Lion on disabled students in the UK and both apple and the assistive software suppliers failed to act together over this omission.
    During our research prior to the launch of Lion we as a specialist group had identified 22 of the 40 applications used in assistive software that had 'Problems' this was communicated to all interested parties. Still waiting for the 'FIX'
    FYI ALL parties have had similar notices on their BB's NOT just Apple.
    despite being given 2 ears and 1 mouth some people do not listen twice as much as they speak.

  • Adobe CC Desktop App still has problems updating

    Will Adobe EVER get this damn app working properly - it seems such a simple app yet there have been a ton of problems from day one. The latest with the update today - one of my machines closed explorer and left the desktop missing and my other PC updated CC and the app did not start again after the update. Really poor show CC desktop app team!

    Hi again,
    I also tried to download the CC Desktop installer. I launched it and the result was as follows :
    Which is very informative, indeed. I logged off / logged on (Windows) and relaunched. This time the installation succeeded (version 1.7.1.418).
    Actually, each time the CC Desktop app is updated, the only way to install is to download the installer. The auto-update feature of this app simply doesn't work.

  • Adobe Send Still Has Problems! Fails At End of Status Bar

    Sending a video file 400 MB in size. I waited for the long status bar to reach the end - and when it finally did, it failed. Wasted a chunk of time. I reported this a while back and you guys said you were working on this. In the meantime, I still use SendNow. Please please do not discontinue SendNow.
    Also, is there any chance that your website can 'remember' me? Every time I log in, there is a checkbox asking if I would like to be remembered. But it doesn't seem to function.
    In SendNow, the application memorized email addresses from previous sends. It made sending files a lot less tedious. But Adobe Send does not have that capability - Are we going backwards here?

    Hi again,
    Would you mind testing your upload speed by going to testmy.net and running their tests?
    I just uploaded a 150 MB file to cloud.acrobat.com in less than 1.5 minutes, and testmy.net reported that my upload speed is 7.9 Mbps (1 MB/s).
    Yes, you should be able to do the upload/send operation in one action; I was asking you to separate them so that we could identify where the issue was.

  • My iphone4 reacts very slowly when I use the button.Problem after updating to newest IOS

    My Iphone 4 respond very slow when I use the button. The problem started when i updated to new IOS 6.0.1

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Airport still a problem after 10.4.7 upgrade

    I thought apple was going to fix the problem with the airport disconnecting after the iMac went into a sleep mode? Currently I have to turn off sleep mode until this gets fixed. Does anyone have an idea where we are fixing this issue?
    Thank you

  • GTX 670 Artifacts

    I bought the very first GTX 670 from my local Fry's on the release Thursday, returning another brand GTX 680 that I bought 2 weeks prior for it.  It's part no. N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC.  The fan is quite a bit louder than the GTX 680 and I'm using Afterburner for fan control only, I've had to turn the fan up to 75% at 80% GPU use, which is quite loud, to keep the card below 78C playing BF3.  I'm getting artifacts while playing BF3.  I have a lemon?  Or is this a factory OC problem.  I noticed that another vendor is having the same issues with their OC cards and are already taking steps to upgrade unhappy customers.  Is MSI going to do the same thing or am I going to have to return this one?

    After doing research, it appears the Battlefield 3 artifacts may be attributed to that title only.  I read at one place that unchecking the hardware acceleration in the browser will fix it, so have done that and just played a round without artifacts. Also dropping the idle fan speed to 30 percent has quieted it immensely. 

  • GTX 670, which brand???

    hello,
    after reading many forums and reviews. Depsues hesitating between 650-660-660ti-670. I'd go with the GTX 670, it also has the option of 3D rendering. I will work with 3D in AE, but render time, This will go faster. It depends on the price difference 660TI with the 670 is around 40-50 €.  I hope that I will pay extra worth.
    Which brand is the best option?
    PC:
    3930k
    Asus P9x79 Pro-Deluxe-Ws- Rampage IV extreme ( still do not know)
    32GB
    650W
    Sorry for my english.
    Stefan
    Thanks

    With that PSU, you don't have many choices. Only the GTX 650 may work somewhat and that is already putting a heavy burden on the PSU, all the rest take too muuch power, or you need to get a much better PSU (850W gold+ label), which would be my approach and then opt for the GTX 670/4G.

    No, you can't, because SMS messages do not travel over the data network, whether it's cellular or WiFi.
    Are the message bubbles blue or green? Green are SMS or MMS messages. Blue are iMessages. Both iMessages and MMS messages require a data connection. MMS requires a cellular data connection, iMessages can be cellular or WiFi. MMS messages travel on the voice network.
