MSI Gaming App download




Download MSI Gaming App - The Gaming App exclusively from MSI is especially designed with the mass gaming market in mind.
Gamers will be able to switch to the high performance gaming mode with just one press of a button without the need for dedicated hardware, know-how, or having to jump through hoops. In this mode, the extra cooling performance ensures a smooth performance for all games. In the power save mode, the graphics card operates in a low power state to silence the fans for a comfortable Internet and working environment.
The first method is the MSI Gaming App. This is a simple, small in size, overclocking tool for the GPU. It has three modes in total
- Gaming Mode – which overclocks the GPU a bit and adjusts the fan speed
- Eco Mode which actually reduces core clocks and fan speed
- Default Mode which sets it back to factory settings.
The default mode resets the graphics card to factory default settings. Simply switch between the three modes to match the performance requirements with just a single click.

Overheated memory. You may be able to get into safe mode. If it works there, kill drivers and try normal OS boot.
Remove heatsink, clean, reattach it, don't forget thermal paste and new thermal pads.
If you can't renew thermal disipation ability, then:
Modify VGA BIOS to have lower clock/higher voltage. Before you do so, you should test values with OC utility.
Other thing to think about is your 400W PSU, it may have overheated too.
- Is fan in it running?
- Does it have clean dust filter or is unit dusty?
- If you ar enot confident about health of your PSU get new one with new GA (you do not want to kill another one)
Side note: Do not expect significant performance boost from new VGA, due to your old CPU. May be time for whole new rig.

Hi both, thanks a lot for your quick answers, much appreciated!
Pill, I'm so glad you pointed out that it's most likely VRAM - I will confidently get a new gfx card soon. (A HD7770 or 7790 but I know it won't give me a huge difference)
Fox, I might actually try the BIOS settings first then. Never had a single problem with the PC ever though, if I ran games on it for half a day even. Now it was just idling in Win, then I launched one mediocre game, only ran for 30 sec... before this happened.
Yes the PSU is a problem... its fan died 6 months ago, then I was really worried but then never had the smallest performance drop so I left it.... bad decision.
I don't know how big a PSU I should get though. The 7790 would be a needier one I guess.

A good quality 500W PSU is OK for a mid-range card. Where are you buying from and do u have a budget?
P.S. - can u boot in safe mode?

Thanks - well I will visit a local pc shop (prices here are good as webshops' )
Budget-wise... I would choose a normal one, not pricy but not the cheapest.
I cannot test safe mod till the afternoon, but then I will miss my chance to buy the card today. So I don't know if I should even try the safe mode things, I got carried away by the thought of the new VGA

Any artifacts before Windows loads indicates a hardware problem.
Squares or lines like in your screenshot are 9.9/10 times due to bad vram.
