Brand new MSI GE70 major gaming performance issues

Hello.
I bought an MSI GE70-2OD notebook
CPU: i7-4700MQ
GPU: GTX760M/2 GB GDDR5
RAM: DDRIII(L) 8
OS:Windows Ultimate SP1
I have a very weak gaming performance! Ive downloaded all of the drivers on the MSI site and installed them, still I got in Assassins Creed IV around 25-35 fps 1920x1080 resolution all other settings on MINIMUM (off)
The prob. might be with my Nvidia driver, since the MSI afterburner cant recognize its driver version...after I unistalled my graphic driver (several times) I ve tried the Nvidias auto detect option on their official site and it said that it couldnt find any graphics card.
I paid a lot of money for this notebook it would be a shame if it were for nothing, cuz that is what I get from it right now

If you go into Device Manager and look for the video card, is it there? Does it have any ! over it?
It sorta sounds like the video card isn't working to be perfectly honest.
When you play assassin's creed, what color is your power button? I'm guessing it is normally blue, and when you play a game it turns orange I believe.

  • Brand new MSI GE70 2OC battery won't charge

    Hi all
    I have a rare issue related with the laptop power system of a brand new GE70 2OC: basically, the battery won't charge.
    -In Windows 8, with the battery installed and charger connected to the laptop: the battery does not charge and drains.
    -If I boot with a linux live cd, exactly the same happens: there's no charging, and the battery is draining.
    And here we go with the mess...:
    -If I start windows8 only with the charger connected (battery removed), the computer turns on properly, windows start booting, but before showing the home screen, the laptop turns off. As if power were suddenly removed.
    -If I start the same way (only with charger, battery removed), and entered the bios, I can stay here forever: laptop doesn't turn off until I wan't.
    -If I start the same way (only with charger, battery removed) with a linux live cd, I can work without problems every time I wan't
    It's very strange... If the battery is not dead, I think may be some kind of BIOS or firmware issue, because the failure of "battery not charging" appears in any situation (turned off, in bios, in windows, in linux).
    The charger is not broken. It runs smoothly without battery in bios and linux.
    I tried a EC Reset. Nothing happens... ¿Any idea?

    Thank you both

  • New MSI GE70 2PE laptop screen not turning on/potential graphics problem

    Hi all,
    This is very frustrating for me!
    I've just bought a brand new MSI GE70 2PE gaming laptop for my partner and turning on causes the power on light to blink blue and orange - something i'm struggling to find any information online for. The screen remains black with no backlight or turning on. I have tried plugging the laptop through VGA into my monitor and it also says it cannot pick up any signal.
    This is leading me to think it is some sort of graphics related problem. The disc drive is ejecting, I can hear the processor ticking along and all the fans etc are on - so it's not completely dead.
    The fan is actually pumping out fairly warm air too, when left idle which to me seems a little odd too - I wouldn't thought it would be struggling at this point.
    I have no idea what is going on, if the laptop is completely faulty or its something I am overlooking. It's supposedly 'brand new' - well the box was sealed and this problem has occurred from the first time I have tried to boot it.
    I've tried running it on battery, purely on AC and this doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Any ideas people? This is super frustrating and I don't want to have to get in contact with MSI about this for some sort of warantee job.
    Thanks in advance! 

    Hello hybridoriental,
    Since your laptop is still brand new one under the warranty, I'll suggest you send it to the MSI service centers or MSI authorized service points for inspections.
    The power light in orange means the system is accessing the discrete GPU. Looks like your laptop stuck in a loop before it started the BIOS. Just make sure you installed the battery and plugged the AC power before you turn it on. If it still doesn't work, it would be better and time-saving to send it to someone whom can inspect and take care of the laptop rather than figure it out by yourself. 

  • MSI GE70 Blu-ray Drive Issue

    Just bought a new msi ge70 2oe-017us 2 days ago and haven't had any issues with it until I had to use the blu ray drive today. After I insert a cd into it, it sounds like its loading and then gives off an repeatedly annoying noise. The disc doesn't get recognized at all either. The cd i'm using is working in another computer.
    The bluray drive is a TSSTcorp DVDWBD SN-406AB, no flag in device manager and drives are updated.
    I have a video of the sound it's making, but the forum won't allow me to post it.

    looks like you may need to send it back if the bluray drive has malfunction.

  • MSI NF980-65 SLI performance issues

    Hello,
    I have performance issues with the MSI NF980-65 with AMD Phenom II x6 in SLI and QUAD SLI mode.
    I have a pair of Geforce 9800 GX2 and Geforce GTX 295. I install the Geforce 9800 GX2, install Nvidia drivers 258.6 for windows vista 32-bit. Restart, run 3dmark and I get a score.
    I shut down, install the second Geforce 9800 GX2. Windows Vista installs drivers. I restart. Nvidia control center notifies me that the cards can run better in SLI. I click and follow instructions to enable quad SLI. I run 3dmark 2006 1.0.2. I do not see any performance gain.
    I uninstall all both cards. Repeat the same procedure for the Geforce GTX 295. Again. No performance gain. The 295 is not much better than the 9800.
    What am I doing wrong? Do these cards suck?
    What is worse is that the performance gain of SLI is marginal as opposed to the cost.
    Compare the cost of one Geforce 9800 GX2 or Geforce GTX 295 vs Quad SLI of both cards.
    This performance is just not worth the cost.
    Geforce 9600 GSO (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X4 965 )
    Geforce 9800 GX2 (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X4 965 )
    Geforce 9800 GX2 Quad Sli (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65)
    Geforce GTX 295 Quad Sli (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65)
    When it comes to Computer digital content creation, I cannot believe that the 9800 GX2 performs the same as the GTX 295. Both render a preset picture in about the same amount of time. (Rendering the same picture with 826 objects, 13,932 polygons, 2 light sources, anti-aliasing for objects & textures, 1600x1200:
    X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65
    Geforce 9600 GSO - 9 mins
    Geforce 9800 gx2 - 9 mins
    Geforce GTX 295 - 9 mins
    This baffles me because I do not know what is the need for SLI or quad SLI? Why buy the latest and greatest if the performance is marginal?
    Does any one have similar performance issues with the same or similar hardware?

    Windows Performance Index : 5.9

    OK.....
    #1: The 9800GX2's should NOT be using the 256.xx+ series drivers... stick with 197.xx or less for better performance...(I like the 191.xx series for benching)
    #2: SLI performance is based on resolution....if not CPU limited....
    #3: 3dMark 06' is CPU biased and you will not notice a diff. w/ SLI enabled unless you increase cpu speed. Vantage is a bit better and is more geared toward the GPU. Use benchmarks by Ungine
    or "built-in" game demo/benchmarks.
    #4: Chambus...remove the middle slot GPU... it lowers the performance of the SLI'd gpu's...remember only the top and bottom pci-e slots are 16x, but only if there is nothing installed in the center slot, at which case only the top gpu will run at 16x all others perform at 8x. Another thing to keep in mind..... the more GPU's installed the higher the CPU will have to be clocked...Over at nvidia we usually recommend a range of 3.4-3.6Ghz (quad-thread)CPU clock speed for 2-way SLI of the 9800 series- 200 series GPUs...at a minimum. The scale shows us to add ~250mhz per GPU after that (even if the GPU is just used for dedicated physX). Of course with the new FERMI GPUs that scale increases significantly. This is called the "bottle-neck" effect and seems to occur more so with nvidia GPUs than ATI/AMD GPUs of the same caliber.
    Go into the NVCP (Nvidia Control Panel) and enable the "SLI Indicator" run a game benchmark of your choice and keep an eye on the indicator. If the indicator frequently drops below 50%...you have a CPU bottle-neck.. if it stays @ the 70%+ at all times than you are GPU limited (which is were you want to be).

    It having some performance issue after i updated the bios to new version n.30, before this was original version 23.0 come with motherboard.
    I updated the bios using msi live update on yesterday.
    What i noticed after updating to new bios, i can feel the performance had drop, when lauching a program, and sometime when typing webpages address or in the google typing word, what happen was the word seem to appearing slow to display. Not sure what happen.
    I hope you guys can help me out, and please advise me what to do.
    Looking forward to hear from you soon.
    Raja

    If the system was working, why did you update the BIOS ?
    If the previous BIOS worked for you, then flash back to that BIOS. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Once you have flashed the BIOS do a CMOS clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

  • Brand New MacBook Pro and Display Adaptor Issue

    Hello fellow Mac users, I've been a long-time Mac user and owner.
    I just got a new MacBook Pro after using a 2006 model for 2 years and am having a display adapter issue that I need help and advice with:
    The new MacBook Pro has the mini DVI display connector, my non-Apple external display is does not support the mini DVI, no problem there, I bought the display adaptor...
    Except that it doesn't fit the adaptor that fit the 2006 MacBook Pro.
    Please See Image at Link:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/sdjOcw1jrddqtAfjAU0Trw?feat=directlink
    File comment: This is the adaptor that connected my 2006 MacBook Pro to the the display. It changes the connection from the Mac's DVI to fit the VGA connection of my display. There are the four extra pins around the flat pin to the left of the connector.
    Somehow the male end of the mini DVI to the full-size DVI adaptor doesn't fit the female end of the full-size DVI to VGA adaptor! Please see the images. It seems a few extra pins prevent the connection!
    Please See Image at Link:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4bG788QVKGCOIJUkzHcjKg?feat=directlink
    Comment: This is where the problems begin. The flat portion lacks the four holes needed for the DVI to VGA adaptor to connect.
    Is it possible to just remove the four offending pins in the Full Size DVI to VGA Male End?
    Any help or suggestions highly appreciated, because as of now, my brand new MacBook Pro is less useful than the 2006 model, which can connect to my external display.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi Rob with a Mac and welcome to the boards.
    My suggestion would be that you simply take the adaptor back and get a mini-display port to VGA adaptor instead.
    I ran into a similar problem myself recently when I wanted to connect my own MBP13 to an overhead projector. I had assumed that I could use the mini display to DVI adaptor that I use for the DVI capable external monitor with my new MacBook, combined with a DVI to VGA adaptor that I had for my 2007 MBP, connected to a VGA cable to do the job, but this is not possible.
    MiniDisplay to VGA adaptors for the newer MBPs are readily available at Apple dealers or through the online store and not too expensive.
    Cheers

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

     bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
    Hello,
    ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
    Tech specs:
    MB: z87-pro
    CPU: i7-4770K
    GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    latest OS updates
    latest nVidia drivers
    I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
    I've attached my GPU Bios.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
    Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
    Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
    Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
    What did the BSOD say? Error code?
    Heya, thanks for the reply.
    That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
    OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

  • MSI R9 280X Gaming 6GB Issue

    I've purchased this card about a month ago from Newegg and it's been great so far.  The only problem that i have is when navigating through windows.  Maybe it's just from using my browser but I've notice the screen to flicker when i'm in the browser scrolling or watching videos.  I have turned off hardware acceleration, used MSI drivers, beta drivers, and the latest drivers but this still happens from time to time.  I don't think the card is an issue itself because i do not notice this when I'm in game.  I believe the R9 280x 6GB that i have comes with the latest vbios already so i am not too sure if MSI currently has anything to remedy this issue.  Apparently this has been an ongoing issue with R9 cards.  So not sure if it is the R9 line of cards itself, the drivers provided by AMD, or the bios installed on the cards.  RMA won't fix this issue as it is a widely known problem throughout all manufacturers of this line of cards.

    Yeah, I got the same issue. Windows 8.1Pro (64bit).  Same card (6GB).
    If I'm on the desktop and I leave a game running in the background and sometimes when using the browser displaying videos and/ or flash video ads, I get what looks like a screen shift.  The picture flickers or jars upward/ downward. It reminds me of something you might have seen on an old CRT monitor when you hit the degauss button, but not quite as bad. It's like some kind of vertical screen refresh or something and looks like someone smacking your monitor from the top while you are using it. The only way I know how to fully re-produce it, at will, is by running my Unigine Valley benchmark in the background and then proceeding to do things on the desktop.  It's definitely not heat related because my GPU temp can be at 33c or lower and still doing it. If I leave my Elder Scrolls Online game running in a background, depending on what's happening in the game, it can do it in this scenario too.

  • My new MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming question

    Hello MSI forums ,
    I'm building a gaming system for my son. The MB i picked was the MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming and it just arrived from newegg. Just a quick question.
    The MB arrived w/ out shrink wrap and the MB itself seems to be slightly warped or curved. Is this normal? I purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 a few months ago for myself and I can't remember if it had shrink-wrap on it or not but I'm sure I didn't see any warping on the GD65.
    Anyway, over the last two months I've build two complete systems all from newegg and i haven't had one issue, so good luck for me so far.
    thanks!

    Not even a security flap or tab seal on any of mine, so no shrink wrap I can recall. Slight curve should pose no problem once it is tightened down in the case.

  • Brand new to Mac and having some issues with my MBP mid 2012

    I am hoping someone can offer some advice to me, I am about ready to tear my hair out. I bought a mid 2012 MBP from best buy open box for $2000, it is the model with the 750gig hard drive and 8 gigs of ram. I has Mountain Lion on it and I have done all the software upgrades. I do not have a lot of software installed on it but it does not seem to be running right. I have had it about  three weeks or a month and it appeared to be running okay most of the time.
    I tried putting parallels 8 on it so I could run some of my windows apps and I installed windows 8 and nothing else and it brought the laptop to a stand still it was crawling so slow I unistalled the software. The past few days I have noticed that when I open the lid and it wakes from sleep the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for upto a minute.
    However today has been the worse by far. I am trying to copy some files about 300 gigs worth from a external drive to my hard drive so I can reformat the drive and while it is copying I am not able to do anything, surf the web, use word or anything because anything I try to do locks the computer up for several minutes or I have to force quit. The voice dictation feature no longer works when I press fn twice, nothing happens at all.
    Is this normal, I mean I am very disappointed that a $2000 computer cant copy some files and surf the internet or type a word doc at the same time. Do I have a bad mac or am I expecting to much????? I am a therapist and use this laptop to take and store all my client notes I bought a mac because I need something dependable and reliable.
    If this is not normal what do you suggest?

    That would be your best bet. There is a reason someone returned it. Most people that buy a Mac, except me, never return them. Even if they don't run right. So for someone to return that unit they either didn't care for Mac OS X (that is why I return the first 2 I had) or there was something very wrong with it.

    That is what I am thinking as well Shootist007. I am a best buy silver reward member and I have 60 days instead of 30 on all returns and I am thinking I may return it, pay the extra $200 and get a brand new one.

    Help please
    The Killer network stuff isn't part of the Wifi. I have a 2OE mine is a realtek pci-e card. It's located under the bottom cover toward the side the lan cable plugs into. (if you decide to upgade it to a AC capable card) Try updaing those drivers. Right click the start button on the desktop, hit device manager, expand network adapters, the wifi card will be listed there. The drivers are on the MSI site where your laptop version is under support downloads. First try right clicking the wifi icon when it's hooked up. Hit open network/sharing, left click the wifi network, at the bottom hit proerties, at the top hit configure, the last tab is power uncheck let puter turn off to save power.

  • PC freezes at BIOS with new MSI GTX 970 gaming

    Went from a Windforce 670 to a MSI GTX 970 gaming, and the PC locks at the startup bios screen. I get 1 beep every 10-15 secs or so.
    I've tried reseating the card, memory sticks, checking connections and nothing. If I put the windforce 670 back in, the pc is perfectly fine.

    Hi,
    Yes you will need to reinstall Operating System, type the activation key in, install fresh drivers etc. You can save documents, backup anything like installing packages for favourite software (e.g. CCleaner) but all other has to be reinstalled.
    I would suggest Z97 PC Mate with i5 4690K, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler. Personal budget choice but still with decent performane (quad CPU and OC availability). RAM+PSU+Case you currently have should work fine.
