MSI GeForce - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 2

Your PSU probably needs to be more than 400W to be sufficient, and specifically you need to have 22A on the 12V rail. This information is generally available on a power supply's information page. I always try to go an extra 20% over the required specs, so I would look for a PSU with more like 28A on the 12V rail.Here is one I found that would be a good fit:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171036&cm_sp=Cat_Power_Supplies-_-Spotlight-_-17-171-036

It looks like your card is below the minimum requirements for this game. You will need a faster (newer) card to run this game. It's not surprising, as many of these shooters have very high system requirements, and your 3-4 year old card probably wouldn't cut it even if it did work.The good news is that a new card will run it faster and look better. Since your old card is PCIE 2.0 compatible, make sure that your new one is also 2.0 compatible. (Unless you know for sure that the mainboard supports PCIE 2.1) PCIE 2.0 cards will work on 2.1 mainboards, but the opposite is not true.Here is the link to Crysis 2's minimum specs:http://www.ea.com/crysis-2/blog/pc-specs

Hello, I am the techncian that will be assisting you today. My name is Norman-Wynne Damstra.Welcome to Fixya, Govind Hanswal.Your graphics card is new, however it is not a very powerful model. You should still be able to play games though, at low resolution and detail settings.You will want to set the game graphics if you can.Best install the latest available drivers from the Nvidia website @ www.nvidia.comSelect your region and click GeForce drivers.Try this:On your desktop task bar at the right hand side near the clock, right click the Nvidia settings icon. ( Also found on control panel) Click Nvidia control panel.On the left hand side click "Manage 3D Settings".Now click the tab with the heading "Program Settings"Now select Fifa 11 from the list.Now set the settings to low, by clicking the current setting and selecting a new one.Turn off Anisotropic filtering, Antialiasing-Gamma correction, Antialiasing and Antialiasing-Transparency.Click apply.Try it out.Take care!Norman-Wynne Damstra

Want to make sure your drivers are in place and no errors have occurred? Simply click start right click on my computer select properties then select device manager scroll to Display Adapters and click on the small "+" you should see the model of your PCI Express graphic card there. If there is a problem with it, a yellow exclamation mark should appear besides it. If you don't see it everything is OK and your card is working properly.

If your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it

Click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll to display adapters + to expand you might see a yellow question exclamation mark ? mark ! or a red x right click select reinstall drivers

if you don't have a disk with the drivers you have to download them

I suspect you have an overheating issue which is causing the lock ups. try running the pc with the side cover removed. If its performs ok then overheating is your problem. You may require extra case fans. it is also possible that your cpu fan and heatsink are clogged with dust. also check the fan on the graphics card for dust. Do not use an airduster, use a hoover with the power to the pc disconnected. Try not to let the hoover touch the components only the fans and heatsinks.

Good luck

I beleive in an original setup you should go with MSI for all the bells and whistles but, when it comes to garphics driver updates, I would use Nvidia. This should cure your problem unless you have power or ram issues. If this doesn't help you or if you have any questions let me know at "add a comment"

Make sure the GPU is placed correctly.

Try rebooting a few times, and see i've it gives a signal.

Here is a great link that could help you.

Did you hook up your monitor directly to your video cards' visual port (whether it's VGA, DVI or HDMI) ?
Did you make sure the driver you downloaded are compatible with your graphics card ? with your operating system ?

Frankly, I don't have any more suggestion than looking in your graphics card's manual to check troubleshoots. They might give you an idea.

One more thing, if you time ahead of you, you might want to check if your motherboard is compatible with your graphics cards. To do that you might want to pay a visit to the almighty Google.

Good luck !

you can download drivers from this link

http://www.nvidia.com/page/fx_5700.html

try to download from this site, http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html

You can remove the power cord, pull out the battery.
While these are removed, press and hold power button for 5 full seconds, then wait half hour and plug back in. This should fix the problem. Sometimes a bad memory stick can cause these problems as well. But removing battery and power cord, and pressing power button will reset the display

Send it back to nvidia. Is sounds like a hardware issue...

yes is for the fan you can cut the connector if the pins aren't allready next to each other. yel or red is allways + in a pc
