GE60 Apache Pro-003 mutes mic when S key pressed. Need recovery help...

I don't actually believe that this is an issue with hardware as I have tried external keyboards and my friend pressed S using teamviewer and it still muted me. I think the issue originated when I decided to install Ubuntu in front of the windows main partition moving the windows partition forward on the drive itself. Now I cannot create new recovery media because somehow that moving corrupted the recovery partitions. I also can't find recovery media on MSI's website for purchase, at this point I think that either installing a vanilla version of windows 8 and installing the drivers afterwards may be my best bet. I also considered buying the exact laptop again, creating recovery media from it, returning it and using the media on mine (I know how thrifty that sounds but I'm out of options). I could also try moving the windows partition back on the drive but I believe the damage is done and that could cause more issues or inability to boot.
Any other ideas out there?

usually when buying a laptop then if you didnt open box then you have 14 days rights to return it and have money back but if you broken the box and return it the store will mostlikely reject your return and say that you have opened the box so you will have to pay twice as much for both :/ so best bet is to send laptop to your store and they will send it off to MSI repair center or place that is certified by MSI to repair MSI laptops for them where they will then restore your drives back to factory layout so you can then run MSI BurnRecovery tool in windows to create own recovery USB or so
Thats why you shall allways create recovery USB 1st time you buy a laptop before you begin to use it since some just buys laptop and use it and later the hdd is corrupted or damaged and they have lost recovery chanse :/

Volume issues with GE60 Apache Pro-003

I recently picked up the new GE60 Apache Pro notebook, and I've been running it for about a week now. I should of course mention that I also did a clean windows install after adding an SSD to the system (and now can't figure out how to add back that cool MSI panel that was there when I first got the system).
Anyway, I've noticed that there seems to be volume issues with the system no matter WHAT kind of settings I tweak, or drivers I try to use. With all sliders up at maximum, the volume levels still never seem to surpass around 50% (from observing the volume gauges in the Windows Volume mixer panel). My previous notebook's speakers put out significantly higher volume, and was also able to put out far more power to my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50).
Any possible ideas for the cause and solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is anything else I need to mention.

What are you using to gauge the '50%'? MP3's? Windows sounds? or what?
Pretty much everything. Music, games, online videos... According to the volume mixer, the audio levels never seem to pass 50%. The grey bar bounces to the peak, but the green bar never seems to pass the 50% level. It's as if there's some sort of limiter in place I'm not aware of. And since I reformatted the notebook as soon as I got it, I was never able to see if the volume control worked correctly before the reformat.

Msi Ge60 apache pro slow sometimes

Hi, i have the ge60 now 2 month and did some reinstall because the laptop is at some point very slow.
Games like call of duty are at that moment unplayeble other things like google chrome and internet are slow to.
i did a clean reinstall but then it is good for several days, and then it starts out of nothing.
I cant figure out if the computer is updating someting. nothing runs on background no viruscanner or someting else.
where could i start finding this problem? does anyone reconize this?
its a ge60 apache pro gtx860
also the computer cannot be shut down when this happens.. it goes to the Log in screen.. and then i shut down again and does it again

Are you having the FreeDOS unit? or you have a pre-installed OS?
Mind to share the Resource Monitor page? Check if there is any unusual usage of the CPU, memory or disks.

MSI GE60 Apache Pro - GPU issues....

Hello All,
So, I just purchased a MSI GE60 Apache Pro and guess what, the GPU is faulty. I'm seeing artifacts (horizontal black lines) whenever I use the PC.
I've already done the usual stuff, updated the drivers and so on.. Already contacted the MSI for RMA however, the reply is awfuly slow and they told me that the process will take at least 3 weeks. Great....
Any useful tips that may help to solve this or should just wait for this slow RMA process? :(
Thanks.

Can't see the black lines you talk about.
Maybe you can show a desktop picture and point in out?
This was the best way to show the problem. Please, check carefully at the following secs: 17s and 51s. There is a flickering following with the horizontal black lines. I just added some notes to the video to help.

"Search for text" Zooms when number keys pressed. Expecting it to FIND text

For months I have been using (&relying on) the "search for text when I start typing " feature.
I am a school teacher & this helps me to search for students & record scores in an online grading program.
The "search for text when I start typing feature" stopped working two days ago.
Before, whenever I typed the "Find" box immediately opened up, searched the screen,
and highlighted whatever I had just typed. Now, when I enter a "1", "2" , "6" , "9" or "0" (zero)
the find box does not come up- so this disrupts all the grade recording process for me.
Instead, when I type in 6 or 9 (it zooms in the screen instead), 0 (it zooms out instead) and I cannot tell what happens
when I type in 1 or 2 (nothing appears to happen- but no "Find" box comes up.

*"Search for text" Zooms when number keys pressed. Expecting it to FIND text

I tried restarting Firefox and turning on/off the Advanced feature ( "search for text when I start typing feature")
but it did not help. I am using a Mac. I also tried using an external keyboard/keypad but the exact same
results occur.
Please help!
Thanks,
Barry

The keyboard shortcut for resetting the zoom level is Command+0, so seeing that kind of response implies that Firefox is misreading the state of the Command key, thinking it is stuck down. Usually tapping the key numerous times will send a signal to all programs that the key has been released (at least on Windows).
On the other hand, in that case, Command+6 should jump to the sixth tab in the current window, it shouldn't change the zoom level. So... hmm...
In case a component of the OS has malfunctioned, have you already tried shutting down the system completely and then starting it up again?

Month Owned MSI GE60 Apache Pro Fan Issues

Hi everyone,
I have had my MSI GE60 Apachce Pro 15" laptop for a little over a month now.
For the first month, I could barely hear the fans when leaving the laptop idle or using non-power hungry applications that do not involve gaming, such as browsing the web or watching videos. Now, however, the fan seems to always be running at a medium intensity, even when idle. As soon as I boot up the laptop, the fan is much more noisy than it used to be and stays that way.
The program HWinfo64 shows my CPU temperature at usually 41 degrees Celsius. Moreover, turning on the Cooler Blaster feature does not decrease the advertised 5-10% temperatures either. In fact, it increases the heat to around 42-43 degrees Celsius.
My desk is usually completely dust free, so I do not think dust is the issue here. I will have to open up the back to be completely sure, but I do not want to void my warranty for something as silly as cleaning it out (There is a void sticker right above one of the necessary screws to remove the back casing. I will contact MSI to inquire about this because I read that MSI will allow owners to remove this sticker in certain locations without voiding the warranty).
Could there be any other reason besides dust that could make my fans this noisy? Does anyone have suggestions on improving it? Thank you.

Try to remove battery and hold power button for 5 sec.
I tried that a few times, but it did not work. The fan noise is becoming unbearable tbh. Considering selling it now :/

Phone set on Vibration but switches to silent when volume keys pressed

I have my phone set to vibrate for all my notifications but when I touch the volume keys it switches to silent. How do I disable the volume keys from changing the notification profile

You can't. That is a shortcut key to enable silent. It happens when you turn the volume all the way down and then down one more. With the latest update the volume keys are locked while the phone is locked unless media is playing.

Mysterious voice over when no key pressed

Hi, randomly i am getting a voice over that says 'please type your message in the text box and ....". This is happening when i am browsing something on the internet. Following is the url that is open at that time in safari.
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-90280.html
1) Voice over is not enabled. 2) Voice over voice is Alex, while what i hear is a female voice.
I also heard this once previously but ignored it because i thought i was pressing some key combination. This time however, i was not touching keyboard.
I have Witch installed, which seems to require enabling assistive device support.
Is it something with the webpages that this happens? I am sure that all the times that this happened, i was browsing something.

oops, it seems there is an ad in the site that does that. i guess that happened previously too.

Stop JList from jumping when Alpha key pressed.

I have a list that I have a KeyListener on. I want to trap the keypresses and handle them myself. Not a big problem, but the one thing that I cannot seem to control is that when you press the "K" key it automatically jumps to the first "K" item in the list as well as any other alphabetic key on the keyboard. I am calling evt.consume() in the keyTyped, keyPressed, & keyReleased methods, but it is still jumping. How do I turn this behavior off?
Thanks In Advance,
Jay

GE70 2PE Apache Pro overheating

Hello guys,
I recently bought an Apache Pro. It has some amazing hardware and looks very good, but it overheats fast. I was playing games like dead island, sniper elite v2 and saw my CPU temperature go up to 95 °C. I had the cooler booster turned on, elevated the laptop from my desk and had a fan blowing cool air beneath the laptop (sort of an improvised cooling pad).
My question: are these temperatures even normal? What's the point in having a beastly laptop when you have to play a game with lowest settings to avoid overheating? :s
greetings,
Somebassdude

if your fan is ok then you need to do few steps
1- go to the windows power management by clicking on battery icon
2- choose balaced power plan click on change plen
3-click on advanced power setting and popop window will open
4- from the list choose processor power management
5-select maximum processor state
6-change those values to 75% from 100% both on battery and plugged in
this limit your will processor max 75% so your processor will not overheat and you wont notice diffrence in gaming so only makes sure that your processor is cooler also when you want to play game before you start press the fan button make sure you pre cool the system

[Help!] A problem with the display of my GE60 2PE Apache Pro

I just got a new GE60 2PE Apache Pro and this is my first msi laptop I've ever had. I don't know what's seem to be the cause of my msi, but the display is always black and kind of glitchy at first when I just start it up.
The msi logo and the Windows 8's blue flag is also displaying fine, but after that on other Windows 8 OS, it's suppose to show the password screen. But instead, it's just black with several glitching white color. It's solved after pressing the windows button + P, which is supposed to control the dual monitor settings. After that, I checked on the display settings in the control panel and my device manager it's like this:
From the display settings and device manager, it seems that I kind of like have two monitors installed in my msi. It looks like one monitor for my Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600, and the other one is for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M, although I don't know which one's running which. And it seems like the default display screen on my msi is the 2nd monitor (See from the display settings in control panel) because the 1st monitor is like plain black or acted like a projector in which I can either duplicate, extend, or turn it off using the PC Screen Only option when I press the windows + P.
But thinking back to every time I turn on my msi, the screen is black and I have to press windows + P to be able to actually see the display. Does this mean that every time I turn the PC on, the monitor is running the 1st one while the actual thing is running in the 2nd screen?
Is there any way to fix this so every time I turn it on I don't have to press windows + P to actually see the display? I'm having trouble because sometimes pressing windows + P doesn't work and I have to restart again using the power button to try and see does the windows + P will work the second try. Please help

Delete, remove, uninstall, whatever term you'd like to use for getting rid of it from your device manager.
Disabling it won't help, it'll still be there.
Judging by what I'm seeing, there's an extra entry for a monitor and it's most likely the issue that's causing your screen to misbehave.
Okay, so here's an update about the current situation:
I did gather up the courage to uninstall both Generic PnP Monitor from the Device Manager. Everything seems okay after I uninstalled it, the screen is not off, it's just as before. After I uninstalled both monitors from the Device Manager, I tried to see the Display Settings, but it is still showing two monitors (With the 2nd monitor displaying my actual screen and the 1st is plain black). I thought maybe it has to be restarted for it to take effects. So I shut it down, and boot it again (Because so far just doing a normal restart won't occur with the black screen. The "shut down and boot" is how do the black screen occurs again.) I really hope that the problem is fixed, but it's still the same. Showing the black screen with some glitching white stripes, and I have to press the Windows + P to get to the actual screen again. After I look up the Device Manager again, here's what's shown:
The Generic PnP Monitor showed up again! And it's two of them. So is there any other solution or any idea of what's causing this?
Thanks for all the help so far.

MSI GE60 2PF (Apache Pro)-609UK

Hi All
I'm new to forum so hello!
I'm looking to buy my son a mid-range gaming laptop, he doesn't need anything crazy fast and have come across the MSI GE60 2PF Apache Pro.
Only thing is, when I do a search for the laptop itself in a search engine it doesn't bring that information up about it. The specs according to the website are as follows:
Intel® Core™ i7-4810MQ Quad Core Processor
15.6" Full HD Screen
Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit
16GB DDR3 RAM
128GB SSD + 1000GB 7200 RPM HDD
DVD Rewriter
Dedicated GTX 860M 2GB Graphics
USB3 | HDMI | Bluetooth
2 Year MSI Warranty
Does anybody know any more about this laptop?
Thanks

Yeah, that's the one. Was looking for more "hands on" experience though.
The real issue I have is that this laptop is about £200 cheaper than the GE60 2PE laptop. I can't see any differences with the two other than the PF has the 4810 and the PE has the 4710 processor. Just seems a tad weird that the PF is a lot cheaper... Just wondering if I'm missing something glaringly obvious?
