Fps drop after downgrading to windows 7 64 bit from Windows 8

Hi,
I downgraded my PC to Win7 from Win8 and it was running smoothly until i tried a game in which the FPS (Frames Per Second) rate has dropped by half of what it was on WIn8. I'm thinking it may be a driver issue, maybe i have to download specific drivers for Win7?
This is the first line of the Intel HD Graphics 4000 Hardware ID:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_2186103C&REV_09
I'm trying to find the version compatible with WIn7 so i can reinstall the driver. Also if anyone has any other ideas or drivers that i should reinstall to increase FPS please let me know.
Thanks,

Huge FPS Drop after installing Mavericks OS x on MBPr

Ever since installing Mavericks OSx on my 8gb (2012) MBPr I have been experiencing huge FPS drops that make gaming in WoW and LoL completely unplayable. This is nothing new I've had FPS problems in the past, but was able to resolve them by resetting my SMC.
I have reset my SMC
Reset my PRAM
Turned off Automatic Graphics Switching
Closed all Programs and Ran WoW on a clean restart
And still continue to have these issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
I have the same config (MBPr 2012 - 8GB DD3 - 2.3GHz i7 - GT 650M 1GB). I play StarCraft 2, it was running great on Mountain Lion and was still running fine for a few weeks after I installed Mavericks, now I'm stuck at 40 FPS at best, the game feels really bad overall
I reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, repaired permissions, turned off auto graphic switching, disabled AppNap on StarCraft 2, repaired SC2, cleared my user caches, ran an extended Apple hardware test, ran a TechTool Pro video card test, ... Nothing came up and nothing helped !

Help Needed: Returning Back to Windows 8 after downgrading to Windows 7

Hi guys, im just new here.
I have a MSI GE40 gaming laptop which I bought 2 months back.
Within those 2 months of usage, I always encounter my laptop to be very slow in shutting down. It always take, maybe up to 10 minutes to fully shut down. The screen goes black but the power button stays on orange color, & as I said, it takes a long time for the power button to be completely unlit. But for start up, its blazing fast.
Thinking that windows 8 itself is the culprit of super slow shutting down, I searched the net on how to downgrade to windows 7.
Of course I did make a back up first on a 16gb usb flash drive using the pre-installed recovery software from MSI which was completed successfully.
Then I made some tweaks on the bios (ie select legacy & disable secure boot) & boot using windows 7 installation DVD, deleted all partitions (since the notebook comes with GPT partition) to be able to install windows 7. I installed all the drivers which I downloaded from MSI website specific to my notebook.
But the problem is not solved, it is still very slow in shutting down, & now even boot up becomes very slow too.
So I downloaded & execute the firmware & bios for windows 7 from msi website (again, specific to my model). But still the same, the notebook is still very slow both in shutting down & start up.
So I decided to go back again to windows 8, I tried to boot from the flash drive (I adjusted from the bios & make the flash drive to be the first priority) but it did not boot from it. I tried F11 on start up & selected to boot from usb flash drive but again, to no avail.
So the last one I did was downloaded windows 8, make a bootable flash drive out of it, boot from it and luckily, I succeed - I have now again a windows 8 msi ge40 laptop.
But I wanted my laptop to be reinstated to factory setting, i.e, all preinstalled softwares are there, the bios is default for windows 8. So I tried to update the bios to the one for windows 8 again (since I downgraded the bios to the one for windows 7 when I downgraded the OS to windows 7). But I could not update the bios, the laptop is not booting from usb flash drive containing the bios.
I tried also to recover using F3 on start up but the system does not recognize the flash drive (with system back up). I tried also on PC settings but to no avail.
Now guys, I need your help.
How can I return back my laptop to default factory settings?
Thank you.
(sorry for my not so good English)

Hello:
I think it's not only about the OS version, you need to return this back to your shop to repair with the slow shot down issue, because the OS should be shot down in 30 seconds, far from your GE40 times.

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR network, usb, wireless problems after downgrade to Windows 7

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR with networking issues. Okay, so I have a G6-2244NR that I had to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64 (SP1), due to problems with software compatibility. Install was originally done on UEFI GPT, wiped 8 and started from scratch with Legacy support MBR. Install went perfectly fine. However, I boot into 7 and I get the Network icon showing a red X. I then go into manager and note that there are no networking devices listed. Instead I have 8 devices listed under "Other Devices" with yellow exclamations by each of them. This includes the Bluetooth Controller, the Ethernet Controller, the Network Controller, a PCI device, the SM Bus Controller, two USB controllers, and an "Unknown Device". Bluetooth ID is ven_1814&dev 3298, Ethernet ID PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136, and so on. I have downloaded drivers out the wazoo. I think I updated the chipset but not sure if right chipset updates (Catalyst 12.6). Still no luck. Every time I try and install what I think are correct drivers I get a "Device not working" error on the LAN card. Can anyone help??
This question was solved.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j009wm Doesnt read USB Flash Drive After Downgrade to Windows 7

I Have Downgraded Installed Windows 7 Through Flash Drive But i need help. Windows 7 Doesnt read my Flash Drive anymore? It can read my USB Keyboard but doesnt read USB Flash Drive. I Have no Internet On The Computer, So that means i cant update my drivers. And i have some drivers in my flash drive i want to install, but i cant. I have read this: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HP-ENVY-TouchSmart-15-j040us/td-p/4576592 It doesnt do me any good anymore because i cant acces my drivers from USB

Hi: Looking at your other posts it appears you have painted yourself into a corner. Since there is no legacy or auto USB setting in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB to sata notebook hard drive enclosure, plug it into another PC so it can be read, download the applicable drivers you need and copy them to you user profile on the removed hard drive. The service manual, chapter 5 provides the removal and replacement procedures for the hard drive. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03733656 Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go. These would be the drivers you need for your model... SM bus controller: Install this first and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=cp_127691_1 USB3: Install both of these and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_139250_1&swEnvOid=4058 http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_133037_1&swEnvOid=4058

Windows 8.1 downgrade to windows 7 pro recovery media with Satellite S50-BBT2N22

I have a few questions about my recovery media.
1. My new Satellite S50-BBT2N22 was ordered with Windows 8.1 downgrade-able to Win 7 pro. Should I build my recovery media before or after I downgrade to win 7 pro?
2. My new Satellite S50-BBT2N22 does not have a DVD drive. How will I save my recovery media?
Regards
Dennis

1. Before. Your Recovery partition will remain Windows 8.1. After downgrading to Windows 7 and beginning operations, you should make frequent HDD copies to an external drive anyway.
2. Use a Flash Drive in a USB port. See your User's Guide starting on page 46 for complete instructions
for making Recovery Media and Recovering the HDD.

Can't drag and drop after update

can't drag and drop after update

hi Dustin, maybe with a bit more info someone will be able to help with this:
what Mac OS System version are you using?
what is it you are 'dragging and dropping'? : Is this drag and drop of text in InDesign? Or are you dragging and dropping from the Mac OS (e.g. a file from a folder) into InDesign?
If you are referring to drag and drop from OS into InDesign: I'm thinking this 'might' be a Mac OSX issue. If you look over at https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa there seem to be plenty of issues with drag and drop across different OS versions.
Next time it stops working whilst you are in InDesign, does it still work in other programs? That is one way of determining if this is caused by InDesign or the operating system. If it is the OS, my guess is that it stops working in other applicaitons as well.
Hope this helps,

My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

MSI GT683r Massive fps drop (CPU overheating)

System Information:
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html
OS: Windows 7
Brand: MSI GT683R-242
CPU: intel quad core i7-2630QM @ 2.00 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560M 1.5 GB GDDR5
RAM: DDRIII 16GB(4GB*4)
HDD: 1TB (500GB*2 RAID 0)7200 RPM
Hello, I'm having a lot of problems with my cpu temperature being high especially when gaming and this results in getting intermittent FPS drops when gaming. My fps when gaming drops to about 10fps (this doesn't necessarily happen when I'm in a particular FPS intensive condition either, could happen when I'm just walking around in the world). I've noticed my CPU temperature is close to 90 degrees when this occurs (I realize it's due to the core temperature being too high). It shouldn't matter what game since I should not get these FPS problems with a laptop like this but the game I play is a MMORPG called Rift.
After playing Rift for about 1 hour and a half mainly in pvp battlegrounds (15 players per team in the battleground so a total of 30 players), my core temp for my cpu reach the high 80 degrees and I’ve received 4-5 massive fps drops while playing during this time. I was able to screenshot my FPS during the FPS drops and I obtained a few screenshots while playing in game. See screenshots below.
NOTE1: CPU core Temperature is shown in the upper right of the screenshots, the running processes from the task manager is also shown in most of these screenshots.
NOTE2: I play with the native resolution of my laptop 1920 x 1080. I normally play windowed full screen but I include the CPU core temperatures & Task Manager so it wasn't window full screen. Also, I did not have the Turbo and the Nvidia Overclock Tool activated but I've tried both in the past and have not noticed a noticeable difference in my FPS drops while using them. (I also get FPS drops while using the Turbo and Nvidia Overclock Tool).
NOTE3: I play the game with medium settings to try to alleviate this FPS problem but I've had FPS problems still happens even in low settings.
After restarting my computer my idle temperature on all my 4 cores according to core temperature sits around 45 degrees (fluctuation + / - 2 to 3 degrees) with practically no processes running (close to 100k memory in the task manager processes).
When loading up Rift and being IDLE in town my cpu temperature fluctuates between 50 and 61 degrees. CPU usage in task manager fluctuates between 10-16%.
My Normal FPS in a combat environment playing Rift (fluctuates a little obviously but it's usually in the 25 FPS range), FPS can be seen on the bottom right of the Rift client (performance area)
FPS drop result after CPU temp overheating, FPS can be seen on the bottom right of the Rift client (performance area). The CPU temperature was in the high 80's before this FPS drop.
CPU temperatures while idling in town after a battleground (I also get FPS drops in town and dungeons as well but usually not as frequent as I do in a battleground or in Raids)
CPU temperatures while killing a boss in a raid, there were probably about 100 players in the environment, I had a huge FPS drop just after taking this screenshot
I also took a Screenshot of my core temp about an hour after I stopped playing, My CPU temperature was constantly fluctuating between the low 60's to high 70's when my computer only had a few processes running.
I've looked around for a solution for this problem but I can't seem to find one. I haven't physically opened my laptop to check if there's an issue inside but I've only started having this FPS problem since about 2 months. I had no FPS problems until recently.
Not sure if it matters or not but my NVIDA driver version is 296.10. I've tried reverting to the previous driver to see if this latest driver update was the problem but it didn't change anything. Other things I've tried is changing some settings in the NVIDIA control pannel but this has not worked either. I've even tried playing my game on the lowest settings and still had intermittent FPS drops. I've browsed through the forums and some people have suggested flashing the BIOS but I'm a bit skeptical to do that. I also attempted to call MSI customer support and left a message but they have not returned my call yet. Anyone got any suggestions to fix this problem?

The simple solution is to open the bottom and blow out the air through the center of the fan with canned air. The vents arent plugged but the fan itself probably looks like a fuzzy mop. Shoudl fix your problem and will not void your warranty.
The ideal solution is to pop the heatsyncs of the CPU and GPU, replace whatever crap their using with artic silver and appreciate a refined machine. Not only will you not have overheats but your machine will use its fan less and thus be quieter. This WILL void your warranty... but its worth it. Just dont do it unless you are savy.
Other then that. Lifting the laptop off the ground is ESSENTIAL. Look at the bottom. It has vents. Ask yourself.. "Self.. what could these vents possibly be for?" Self will hopefully reply "Well Self, I would say they are there for cooling." "SO self these vents have a purpose???" "Yes, self, they do. Their purpose is cooling and airflow" "Well then why do we not have airspace allowing air to actually get into these vents?" "Because self.. we like it flat.... Like a tire thats soon to be on fire..." Hopefully after that your enlightened self will go get a stand. If you want the lowest profile you can get you need a thin cooler system, if you dont care about that just buy a stand that permits airspace and flow. I mean your running an advanced gaming rig. In a normal box these components may have 4+ fans... Your laptop has one. Help it out.
The good news is perhaps cooking your cpu will have a burn in effect and make it clock to higher speeds... However I doubt it. Chances are you are cooking everything from said chip to your HDs and you should stop, because that MIGHT void your warranty.

Y510p ultrabay SLI fps drops

Hello, I recently removed for a while my ultrabay (second GPU - both GT 750m) and installed on my Windows 8.1 64bit Intel hd4600 drivers. Then I uninstalled Intel drivers and put my ultrabay back in. I downloaded (week ago) modded BIOS to disable that ultrabay but I couldnt find that option so I installed 3.05 again.
Now the issue: I have a HUGE fps drops + the game kind of stutter on one point. Moreover I have less FPS than before.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Suffers from the same massive drop to 15-20 FPS after about a minute of play. i even attempted removing the secondary GPU. No avail.

Calls dropped after 5:02

Trying to call landlines with Android phone, but the call repeatedly drops after 5:02 (according to the call log). This happened with the latest Android version, so I tried downgrading but that didn't help.
The internet connection is stable, i.e. I don't experience any other drop in connectivity, especially every 5 minutes.
Any thoughts? What can I do to prevent this from happening?

I tried to find help in league of legends support but nobody helps me. I tried in nvidia forum but nobody helped me.
And sad thing is i spend a lot of money for this notebook and it :censored:ed up. My friend have a dell inspirion with gt820m (lowest gpu than me , and i5-4210m 1.7ghz cpu [also lowest than my] ) and he have constant 100-120 fps even on the screen we can see a lot of action.

I have the latest drivers! Even i make a re-install system i still have this issues. I turn off vsync of course. Changing a setting for low/medium/high in game dont solve problem.
I have all netframework and ccc redistuable. I have a maximum perfomance in setting of power managment. My gpu can be broken?
PLEASE HELP SOMEONE.

Hi there,
Is your 8GB ram on only one pcs and run single channel? I mean two pcs of memory and let system run in dual channel can improve the performance.
And did you install game on SSD? That will also improve it.
Following is the suggestion I found from other post:
1. Memory is occupied by Killer process. Task manager shows RAM is 100% in use. And this problem can be resolved by updating new driver from MSI website. Or below link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1oSMeecH6wcUGlCTWFOd3lhTWc/view?usp=sharing
2. HDD is occupied by contents index or removing language packs process. We suggest user to check FAQ 740 and FAQ 646 for this two problems.
FAQ:740
When WINDOWS 8 OS is in idle mode, HDD usage often reaches 100%.
http://www.msi.com/pic/faq/10011896@2014-0415-1218-528636@faq_0000000000740_en.pdf
FAQ:646
http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-646.html
3. System didn’t use dGPU to run games. We knew that some of LOL old patches couldn’t start the game with auto select dGPU. User has to enter Nvidia control panel and assign the program to run dGPU.
4. When playing some games, game lags might happened due to the hard disk's power saving function. Also the hard disk's sounds might appeared due to the fast read/write tasks from the system. You can follow the instructions and try to turn off the power saving and acoustic management function of your hard drive to avoid game lags and try to decrease hard disk's sound.

GTX 670 fps drops problem

Hi,
I have problem with my new graphic card and don't know if it is driver issue or if it is defective graphic card or some other component is bottleneck ? Can you please help me?
My PC
CPU: AMD Phenom II 1090T 3,2 GHz (is bottleneck?)
MB: ASUS M4N68T updated BIOS few days
GPU: MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC installed 301.42 WHQL drivers and also tried older drivers from CD
PSU: Corsair TX650-V2 (is it enough? )
Case: Coolermaster CM690 Dominator II
RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz 2x2GB +2x4GB
Monitor: LG W2242SM connected by VGA adapter (playing on 1680x1050)
My problem is:
In games like battlefield 2, Crysis 2, ArmaII, Alice Madness Returns, Dragon age, Skyrim my fps drops very often.
For example in Battlefield 3 (Gulf of Oman) I start game with 80fps (setting: ULTRA 1680x1050) and after 2 minutes fps drop to about 30-20 or even 17 fps. I first thought it was only big scene with many details but when i stayed in same place about 1 minute it returned to 75fps but scene was still same.
I tried:
- Change details to High - even worse , Medium and Low - still remain,
- Turn off- blur, v-sync - problem still remains
- turn off anti aliasing - Problem remains
- in nvidia control panel turn v-sync off and power management set to maximum performence, in windows too
- re install drivers - clean installation ( i try all drivers available from MSI site and Nvidia too
- Re install windows (windows 7 professional 64-bit)
- uninstall MSI afterburner, than install newer one.
I took screenshot from MSI afterburner where you can see huge GPU usage drop in game.
Thank you for any help

Gt683 fps drops help.

i fell victim with one of the authorized msi merchant here in the philippines and was sold a supposedly gaming laptop which was misrepresented as their latest and one of the top of the line gaming series of this year (2013) in their shop and even paid $1100plus for the unit model gt638 with specs of 8gb ddr3 memory, corei7, nvidia geforce, gtx560m, 750gb hdd, windows 8 64bit os. just bought it 2 months ago
It was falsely sold to me as a new model only to find out that this unit was already outdated and very old (2011). It was already late when i found out and the sad part was that it has an unusual fps drop which happens to almost every game like batman, tomb raider and battlefield 4 among others.
The fps drops from 20 up to 10 below normally after only less than 30 mins of gameplay and it will occur every 10seconds thereafter. we did everything we could with the software configurations and other configurations. the msi technician here in the philippines revealed to me that my model was too old and will not play any high end games unless i change or upgrade my nvidia videocard to a 6 series. I want to know, if this msi tech told me was true or does my unit has a factory defect. because in my game experience even if i play a battlefield 3 game in the lowest setting, my fps still drops unusually causing it to lag and freeze. please advise.
i was asking for a refund but the msi shop here only gives 7 days warranty, they have a no return no exchange policy plus they claim that my unit was not defective ... it was just OLD and outdated. its ironic because i just bought an OLD brand new gaming laptop that doesn't play games as expected. is there a solution for gt638 or is this just another expensive paperweight. thanks

my advice, go sell it to someone, and use the money to buy a better laptop
and for further reference, research before you buy
