Ati do not officially support Bios upgrades.

Does the TV Out work in windows? Even if it does not work in Bios screen?

I have an issue where the card will not send signal to the monitor half of
the time. You have to press the power button 3 or 4 times for it to
work......this is a MSI K7N2 mobo issue that is well documented in thier
forums. Someone over there said to try flashing the vid bios....i just
cant
find a flash anywhere

Hi,

I have the same problem with my saphire 9700pro, you dont need a bios
update for your video card, the bios you need is for the motherboard. There
is an issue with the newer bioses for the K7N2 boards. If you flash your
motherboard back to v1.2 for the msi k7n2g-ilsr then it will be ok, try an
earlier version and see how you get on.
The Msi forum has loads of post for this problem Fo rum Here

Thanks,
But i am on the latest mainboard bios now and was hoping not to go back...i
had problems with some of the previous bios releases and am finally stable
with this bios update. I just got the vid card last week and i was getting
ready to RMA the thing back until i found out lot of other people are having
the same issue....I think i will just put up with turning it on and off a
few times at boot up...it works great after it is up and running....

Thanks
Steve

I got fed up with the monitor not coming on , pressing reset sometimes upto
10 times didnt work, so i went back to v1.2 and everything is fine now.
