Hello,
I recently flashed my BIOS on a MSI K7T Pro 2 mobo, from 1.9 to 3.2. Now I can't do any 3D tasks on it. Even as simple task as changing the screensaver crashes my computer.
2D tasks work so far, as like this posting, but as soon as I try to wach some .avi, or play or do anything that recuires some processing from my gfx card, system locks up...
I tried downgrading the BIOS to pre-flashing version, but it didn't let me do it. I also tried re-flashing it with the new version, it flashed OK, but it didn't fix anything.
I posted this same issue at the MSI boards, but so far I only got one response, to tweak up the VCore. I tried this, all the way to 1.600V but of no help. At 1.550V my system wouldn't even boot to OS, or even if it did, it caused a mass of error messages... I haven't dared to push it all the way to 1.85V. I also tried to rise that other voltage setting from 3.3V to 3.45V but it didn't help. At the moment I run the system with default voltages.
I have tried toying with the drivers, from via, msi, nvidia, micro$oft, but so far no help.
I tried running two OS' Win98SE and Win2k Pro, but both crash.
The system runs below 40 C and pros runs at a bit over 40 C, under 45 C anyways, so it's not too hot either.
If you need any more info, or I simply have forgotten to mention something here, you can mail me @ Morwing@goatrance.com or post it here...
It worked before... Why not now...
