MSI 1050 Ti - Recognized but no display

[LupenWonse]

Hi,
I have an MSI 1050 Ti 4GB OC Edition, that I am trying to repair.

Here is my situation:

• On the card all voltages seem to be present. I could not detect any issues.
• When the card is installed booting with integrated graphics is no problem.
• The card is detected correctly by GPU-Z
• I can read and write BIOS without any problems.
• I have already tried several BIOS versions but this did not change anything.
• Installing Nvidia drivers when the card is installed in the system crashes Windows

I am rather new GPU repair and have no idea how to proceed in this situation.
Does anybody have ideas? How could I diagnose this card further?
Thanks

Quite likely a bad memory chip, see here for how to test them:

Thanks for the tip.
I still haven't managed to run mats (some kind of Motherboard incompatibility I think.) but working on it.

I think I have finally managed to run MATS.
The test shows all read errors on all chips. I do not really know how to interpret this results. Hopefully I am running these tests correctly.

Would this mean that the memory controller is dead and therefore the GPU?
Or could this be caused by something else? (wrong BIOS??)
Thanks for any suggestions.

mats version 400.184.  Testing GP107 with 1 MB of memory starting with 0 MB.

Ok, my test setup was not working properly.
You were completely right. I found the defective chip. Thank you very much for your help.

how did you find the defective chip? and have you fixed the gpu yet?

[LupenWonse]

Hi there,
I realized that my test setup was testing the integrated GPU and not the actual card. I used a MATS version which was setup to run blindly, disabled integrated GPU and re-run the test. Then I got a clear FAIL on one of the chips.

But no I still have not repaired the card since I do not have a replacement memory chip.

[benwaterson]

I would have thought MATS would only try and test an nvidia gpu, which if it is the integrated one it was testing then surely that was intel/amd?

I might try this blind method on mine though to see if I get better results than read errors on all banks.

I always have to add -n 1 since I have on-board intel graphics, so:

./mats -e 20 -n 1

Yes that's the correct syntax to select a different GPU. Doesn't help with the errors unless it testing the wrong card and that card is an nvidia GPU as well afaik

No luck for me using this method. Still read errors on all banks

i guess thats not my issue, because i have tested a different GPU on the same setup and got 0 errors

Did you manage to get any further with this? @Tiger14n
