    hello
    iv had some problems with my MSI g-force 4 Ti4200-TD8X64
    when i play HALO, Ut 2003-2004, hitman 2, call of duty, return to castle wolfenstein, etc my pc reboots
    (getting a bleu screen) cant reed it becouse it goes to fast even when i put the resolution at lowest it still crashes :(

    have done a 3d mark and i get 1400 mark

    tried flashing my bios

    have tried all the drivers and cleaning the old ones with nasty file remover, so there are no driver conflicts
    now im on the 52.14 drivers from msi

    with sisoftsandra i did a benchmark on my memory and they said i had to chanche my memory timing
    Warning W5400 - Low memory bandwidth efficiency (advanced test). Generally this means a setting is incorrect or set too “safe”
    resulting in too low performance.
    Fix: Check memory timings (reduce them) or check other chipset or memory speed settings.
    what is memory timing and how i chanche it...

    i have 2 fans and one cpu fan at 3500 rpm

    voltage information: 350W
    VCORE : 1.49 v
    3.3 V at 2.86 V(to low i thinc)
    +5 V at 4.95 V
    +12 V at 11.70 V

    my friend has the same computer and i compared with him, we switched our gfx cards and mine did well on his pc, his gfx lasted 1 h on my pc.
    Then i switched my ram memory but noting changed...

    i hope i could resolve this problem


    here is some info from dxdiag ( have ran all the test, no problems...)

    Look at the temps, they might be too high.
    I would also load the bios default settings to make sure that the timings of the memory are correct.

    As for your score, make sure AA and AF are turned off as well as vsync

    BSOD, you say? Your 3v power rail does look a little low, the absolute lowest it should get (during full load, which it isn't while you're in the BIOS) is 3.0v. If your PSU is generic, it may not be providing adequate power for your system during a heavy power load (like playing games). You might consider upgrading your PSU to an Enermax or Antec; they are both reliable PSUs with very solid power rails.

    Baught an fx 5200 ==>> nothing chanched

    hello again
    now i baught me a gforce fx 5200 128 mb from asus...
    same shit again when i play ut 2004 but now i noticed something i can spec the whole game even in the highest resolution
    but when i begin to play it crashes after 3 seconds
    and now my voltages have changed, really confusing.

    voltage information: 350W
    VCORE : 1.49 v ==> 1.49 v
    3.3 V at 2.86 V(to low i thinc) ==> 3.09 v !!! :) becouse i put fx 5200 ????
    +5 V at 4.95 V ==> 5 v
    +12 V at 11.70 V ==> 11.70

    have done a bios default, etc and did all you said, but nothing worked
    could it be duo the mobo ? ore agp ? ive changed the agp aparture size to 128mb
    AGP
    Revision 2.0
    Rate 1x, 2x, 4x (4x enabled)
    Available Rate 0x00000007
    Selected Rate 0x00000004
    Aperture Size 128 MB
    Sideband Addressing supported (enabled)
    Fast Write not supported

    i hope i could resolve this problem, pls help me :)

    some diags from sisoftsandra

    Tip T212 - The BIOS can be shadowed. Shadowing is a technique of copying the BIOS program from slow EPROM or EEPROM to RAM. This may yield some increase in performance.
    Fix: Go to BIOS set-up and make sure that System BIOS is both shadowed and cached.

    Warning 1206 - Device latency is high - the higher the latency, the more data a device can transfer in one go. The device may be hogging the bus for too long. Some video card drivers set the latency high in order to perform faster. The problem is that other devices (especially sound cards, network) won’t have enough time to transfer their data resulting in lower performance (e.g. sound drop outs, lockup). Generally, all devices should have latency of 32, with high performance devices (e.g. video card, disk, giga-LAN) with 64 and AGP to 128.
    Fix: Go to BIOS Setup\Settings\PCI & AGP Devices and reduce PCI latency to 64 or 32. Contact the mainboard manufacturer or video card manufacturer for more details.

    Can you check your event log? If you see an error referring to nv4_disp.dll, you've got a driver issue. However, I think the other possibilities are RAM related---which could be the result of too low of timings, or bad RAM. The other possibility is the PSU just not being good enough to power the system.
