Windows 8.1 MSI GTX 780 Audio Crackle & Pop

Hi Guys,
Pulling my hair out with this one and I really need some help.
My HDMI Audio out to TV has worked great but more often than not I get Audio crackling and popping sounds.
Its more apparent when I launch big picture mode in steam it opens with horrid crackling sounds, if I use my USB headset its fine.
I have done the following so far;
Disabled onboard Audio in the bios - No difference
Enable XMP1 memory profile - Thought it had resolved this at first but then the issue was back within a few days
Enabled high performance in power settings - no difference
reinstalled all drivers - no difference
did a full reinstall of Windows 8.1 and removed other devices and the same issue occurred.
I would also like to add the TV is fine, speakers are ok and I have tried a new HDMI cable and other devices which don't crackle.
Scan computers have offered to RMA the card but I don't think this issue is the card the games, graphics, all function really well and I am hoping to not have to RMA the card I have come here to ask for help because I am now at my wits end trying to fix this.
My motherboard BIOS is also fully up to date
Gigabyte Z97M-DSH3 Bios F5
i5 4460
Ballistix 8GB Ram
Nothing is overclocked

Had the same problem after installing 8.1 a long time ago. Rolled back to 8 still had the same problem. Just ignored it for like a year since it only happened after my PC was on for a while and then I could just log out and back in and it would fix itself for like 8 hours. Down the road I reinstalled windows from scratch after getting a new PSU (mine was getting up there) and it was gone. I think it had something to do with some drivers or something getting messed up while moving to win 8.1. On 8.1 now and have no issues.

MSI GTX 780 "Gaming Mode" -Things go black

Hello,
I am new to the forums. I have registered because I am hoping someone can help me with a very frustrating situation. I have spent hours upon hours attempted to figure this out on my own to no avail. Although I am a new forum member, I am pleading for some guidance.
I just bought/installed a MSI GTX 780 graphics card. I have uninstalled my previous driver (clean uninstall) and installed the current driver. Everything seems to be just fine, except for one issue...
When I select "gaming mode" in the MSI Gaming App, my desktop goes black (my wallpaper disappears). If I have a Chrome browser window open, that goes black too. If I mouse over an area of that browser window, the window reveals itself in sections (as I mouse over them). Furthermore, my monitor seems to fade in and out slowly from it's typical brightness. It starts out dimmed and gradually returns to normal brightness, and the cycle repeats slowly.
My temps are just fine according to Corsair Link. When I observe the stats in Afterburner, everything appears to be running properly. Prior to reinstalling the GTX 780 driver, I was playing various games and everything (temps, GPU usage, etc) was running properly and well within their respective safe ranges.
System Specs:
Asus Z87 A motherboard
i7 4770k processor
MSI N780 GTX 780 graphics card
16 gb Corsair Vengeance RAM
128 GB SSD
Corsair H100i
Please help me if possible, I would very much appreciate it! The problem manifested once I installed the MSI gaming app. Once I was unable to fix it, I then did a uninstall/reinstall of my GTX 780 driver. The whole process was successful. However, once I reinstalled the MSI gaming app and and activated the "gaming mode" preset, the same issue returned... blackness. I can still see the windows task bar and my desktop shortcuts, but blackness everywhere else.
Thank you kindly for your time and consideration!
Mike

The gaming mode is just the normal boost behavior the card would run without the Gaming APP. Uninstall it and see if the card works fine under 3d load. If so it's some kind of software compatibility issue. Simply don't use the gaming APP then.

MSI GTX 780, crashing after game

I have this new, weird problem.
My win8.1 computer will crash and the display will loose the signal.
This happens when I am done playing a game and return to the desktop. It will happen at once, or in a moment. The games run perfectly.
I have tried this:
- Memtest
- Other PSU
- SSD-diagnostic
- Windows reinstall
- Other GPU (no crash)
- Crying
- Newest Nvidia-driver
- Older Nvidia-drivers

One of my MSI GTX 780-fans gets stuck on 100% every now and then :(

Every now and then (randomly and not very often) one of the fans on my MSI GTX 780 gets stuck on 100% after windows 7 (64 bit) have loaded.
It is impossible to get it to slow down by using any software or by restarting the computer (or even by turning it off).
The Only way to get it back to normal functioning is to open the computer and stop the fan with my hands for a while. After that it works like it should, until next time this bug happens.
Has anyone experienced anything like it? Can it be solved or is the card broken?

flobelix will give you the program needed (a link to it at least) and the information of how to so it!
but he needs 2 things from you!
1: the serial number of your MSI GTX 780 (leave off the last 3 digits)
2: a copy of your cards current VBIOS (download this http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/ and run it and it will bring up GPU-Z and then click on the little icon at the end of BIOS Version and choose save to file (should be a under 1MB file) then upload it to somewhere like dropbox.com and give us a link to it there)

MSI GTX 780 (Gaming) coil whine?

I've had this MSI GTX 780 (Gaming) for about a month and it has been making quite a lot of noise while gaming.
I've recorded a sample of starting up and playing Borderlands 2:
Sample (Not sure how to provide the link considering I'm not allowed to post external links)
0-10s is Windows Idle
10-36s is Loading & Menu
36s+ is actual gaming and where the noise really kicks in
Sleeping Dogs and Splinter Cell Blacklist also result in the same amount of noise (more or less)
Unigine Valley also leads to the same noise (if not louder) regardless whether I take Extreme HD preset or a combination of Custom settings (DX9, DX11, OpenGL, Fullscreen, Windowed, 0x-8x AA)
Is there anything I can do about it?
Is it definitely the GPU or should I be looking at maybe the PSU?
Is this grounds for a RMA?
I unfortunately don't have access to another 780 or a suitable PSU for testing...
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer Quad 750W (Mk1)
Mobo: Asus Z87-A

i like overkill PSU's that are 2-3x more then i will ever need like my one in my AMD rig listed below in my signature (Thermaltake Tough Power 1500W that is a great PSU) i too am sceptical of there below 600W ones as they tend to be made cheaply but the higher end ones (700W+) tend to be made by better PSU OEM's that build them very well (my 1500W one was £200 UK when i got it 3-4 years ago and it has no problems at all) tried alot of GPU's with it and 0 whine from any including a AMD HD 7970 and Nvidia GTX780 from the most recent cards out there!
but I agree the lower end ones AVOID them as its a 50/50 chance it will be a bad buy. (i have 2 seasonic still in use and 2 Corsair ones and both makes are great)

REQUEST UEFI GOP VBIOS FOR MSI GTX 780 GAMING OC Edition

MSI GTX 780 TI/R9 290x in the Cooler Master Elite 130?

Hello
I am intendet to assemble a very compact and minimalist (only 1 SSD and only one LP Ram 8GB) Gaming PC
But i dont want deny at all at one of those high end graphic card on the market now such as
-MSI R9 290X2
-MSI GTX 780 TI
I like a lot a cooler master 120 or 130
Is it possible to fit it in?
consiering i will use an i7 processor and a mini itx mobo.
I read the specs of that case and the official web site claims that can host GPU up to 343 mm lenght
What about the PSU i should get?
How many WATT for my (future)components?
-GPU (one of those i mentioned above
-Samsung EVO 120 GB SSD
-Corsair Vengeance LP (2X8GB)
-Mother board M-ITX (i dont know wich one yet)
-Processor intel i7 no overclocking
Said that,how many WATT should i pick my PSU?
Thanks

it would be tight and you will need to be very creative with your assembly as space is very limited in those small form factor cases (I know as my HTPC has one of the 130 versions and its very tight to fit a card into the chasis but a large card does fit but the power cables are a little bit of a fiddle to get into the connectors as its a little cramped inside but its doable)
AMD R9-290x2 is a upcoming card with dual GPU but that will not fit in the case due to its weird cooling system as there is no way you could route the water cooler I think!

MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr - GPU_Z Speeds not right

I've just purchased the MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr which is supposedly spec'ed at 1020mhz GPU clock from factory.
however, running GPU_z reveals that the GPU clock is 980 mhz only. seems like 40mhz less than stated in the product details?
what I did do is messed with MSI GamingApp and when i chose the "OC" setting it went to 1020 mhz.
is this expected?
I was under the impression that it would be 1020 mhz as baseline without any sort of application tuning etc...
thanks in advance.

The card works as it should. Just refer to the product site:
Quote from: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-780Ti-GAMING-3G.html#overview
1020MHz Core (Boost Clock:1085MHz) (OC Mode)
980MHz Core (Boost Clock:1046MHz) (Gaming Mode)
876MHz Core (Boost Clock:928MHz) (Silent Mode)
3072 GDDR5 7000MHz Memory
The baseclock of 1020 Mhz is only enabled using oc mode of the Gaming APP while the Gaming Mode is the normal clockrate it would run at even if not using the Gaming APP. Of course you could still oc with Afterburner while at OC mode and up the clockrate even further or you are just using an oc tool like Afterburner to adjust the clockrate completely manually.
The APP doesn't change any voltage settings. The voltage is determined by the gpu using Boost 2.0 (up to the maximum Nvidia boost voltage).

MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming - Coil Whine

Hi all,
I've bought 2 MSI GTX 780 ti 3G Gaming and I have the same problem with both : Unbearable coil whine in all game and with 3DMark.
I'm not the only one who have this problem but I don't know if the card is responsible.
Sometimes V-Sync reduce the noise but not completly.
My config :
MB : Asus Z87-Deluxe
Corsair HX-850 and now Corsair RM-850
Intel I7-4770K
Corsair Dominator Platinium (2x8Go)
If the third card do the same noise, what can I do ? Take a 780 Ti somewhere else that to MSI ?
Thank you for your answer.
Mike

At the beginning, I had a Corsair HX-850, and I've changed it to a Corsair RM-850.
Next I have tried a lot of changes on 2 systems :
1st Computer :
- Thermaltake Overseer RX-I
- Asus Z87-Deluxe
- Intel I7-4770K
- Corsair Dominator Platinium (2x8Go at 2400)
=> With Corsair HX-850 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
=> With Corsair RM-850 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
=> With Corsair HX-850 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
=> With Corsair RM-850 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
2nd Computer :
- Thermaltake V9 BlackX Edition
- Asus P8P67-Deluxe
- Intel I7-2600K
- Corsair Vengeance (2x4Go at 1600)
=> With Corsair HX-750 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
=> With Corsair HX-750 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
It seems that the Coil Whine is folowing the MSI 780 Ti. Perhaps I have to buy another MB like a MSI Z87... and after another CPU, and change my PLEXTOR PX-256M5Pro... and what ??? I shall like having enough money to spend to be your MSI beta tester...
The MSI GTX 780 TI Gaming is the best card that I've seen for a long time, and I want to understand why I have some trouble with it.
If you want to send me another 780 Ti, I'll try it with pleasure !

Both links lead to .exe crap or trick in download sites. Choose a respectable file hoster like https://www.sendspace.com/
Furthermore you have already been told that there is no vbios adding extra features.

Thank you anyway for your reply, for the bios i find it in a non-MSI forum, now i can overclock my MSI gtx 780tf to 1228 Mhz on the clock and 7 Ghz on the memory.
If anyone want it please PM.
