GE70 2OE Windows 8.1 upgrade problems

Hi.
Trying to solve my graphics problems that I asked about in another thread I have also tried upgrading to Windows 8.1. Upgrade always fails.
I have read the information on msi.com about uninstalling the graphic drivers etc. I have also downloaded all the latest drivers for Windows 8.1 from msi.com and installed all of them, except the graphic ones.
I have got four different errors so far.
Sometimes the computer BSOD's with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE when the installation are preparing all components in the computer. I have read that this might be linked to the WiFi card and that you should remove or disable it. Since I couldn't do either I tried updating the drivers for the WiFi. The problem disappeared, but has since reappeard a few times. It seems kind of random.
Sometimes I get to a step where the installer says Preparing some more things (it says this in Swedish, so this is my translation). It gets stuck at 3% for a long time (I have waited up to 30 mins). When I restart the computer the old version of Windows is restored and I get either 0xC1900101-0x4000D or 0xC1900101-0x30018.
What else can I try?

I would either do a clean OS install or installed Windows 7.

GE70 2OE win 8.1 upgrade

Hi,
I have a ge70 2oe and decided itd be time to go to windows 8.1 (since there were drivers available to download)
So I did a clean install of windows 8 (since I cant go to 8.1 instant because of my key )
and on 8 I didn't install drivers because I had the 8.1 drivers.
so I went to 8.1 that went succesfull but then. installing the drivers on 8.1 is a complete disaster. chipset drivers gives me bsod's. not everything works properly etc.
Any advice? should I stay on 8? can I use win 8 drivers on 8.1?
Thanks in advance

There are a few threads regarding this.
The Intel Chipset drivers are a known issue for some reason. The best suggestion is to get them straight from Intel if memory serves right, instead of using the ones from MSI. Check the other threads about the Windows 8.1 upgrade, there is information there that can solve your problem.
Personally, I'd just forget Windows 8.1 and wait it out for a bit. It's been nothing but a huge mess for most users. It doesn't really add anything over Windows 8, which works fine.

Windows 8.1 Upgrade problem with Ethernet on a Flex 15

Windows 8 was upgraded to Windows 8.1 Upgrade on a Flex 15.
The first time I tried to do the upgrade, I had enough problems that I re-installed from a Windows 8.1 image. All went well and all the drivers work except the Ethernet. The upgrade was relatively painless if you ignore the necessary reboots.
The latest Ethernet driver was downloaded from Lenovo and it was upgraded through Device Manager to version 8.26.218.201
In spite of Device Manager saying the Realtek ethernet adapter is working, no network is recognized by Networks and Sharing Centrewith when an ethernent cable is plugged into the Flex 15 i. The cable is good and has been checked by way of another computer.
I have previously used the hard-wired ethernet once and it worked but I do not remember where the laptop stood during the pgrade path.
This may be a hardware problem which will require mailing the laptop for the repair, or it may be a software / dirver issue.
If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. The only other thing I can do is reistall from scratch to confirm it is a hardware problem.
With thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK So I'm not the smartest cookie in the cookie jar.
The Ethernet worked all along, but I inserted the ethernet cable UP-SIDE-DOWN. The Flex 15 has a 1/2 size ethernet female plug and it has a small cover which flips down. This is to allow the adapter in a thin shell
The male end can be plugged in upsidedown unlike a normal-sized ethernet female. It goes in, but does not click. So a word to the wise ... the plastic prong of the male end is on the bottom.

Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Problems (Switchable Graphics, Screen Brightness Adjustment, etc.)

Hi guys! I hope you can help me with this.
My laptop is a Lenovo U400 bought last April. I upgraded it yesterday to Windows 8 Pro.
The Upgrade Assistant detected incompatibilities on the following softwares (I'll be mentioning only those I had problems with after the update.)
-AMD Catalyst Install Manager
-Catalyst Control Center
-Lenovo Energy Management
-Cypress Trackpad
After the update, the following problems occurred
-Windows kept prompting me about the incompatibility of Catalyst Control Center and Lenovo Energy Management
-When I check the Device Manager -->Display Adapters, My AMD Radeon HD 6470M was changed to HD 7400M and has an exclamation point on it indicating a problem. When check Properties it says, "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
-I can't manage switchable graphics because the AMD Radeon driver has been stopped by the OS and Catalyst Control Center doesn't work. It says, "Catalyst Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center."
-My touchpad works but does not support multitouch functions.
-Screen brightness adjustment stopped working both on hotkeys and Power Options.
I tried the following actions to fix the problems:
-Downloaded the new softwares from Lenovo Support but the Catalyst Control Center and Cypress Trackpad still doesn't work. I also tried installing driver software from the AMD site but it still didn't work. [FAILED]
-I tried to use the Cypress Trackpad software for U300s/e and it fixed the problem with the touchpad [FIXED]
-Installed the Energy Management software for Windows 8 but when I click the 'Optimized Battery Health' button, it keeps reverting back to 'Maximum Battery Life'. [PARTIALLY FIXED]
-Resorted to 3rd party software to fix the Switchable Graphics (Catalyst 12.11 Beta from leshcatlabs.net) and it fixed the switchable graphics problem as well as the Catalyst Control Center problem. This is temporary until a working solution or update is available. [TEMPORARILY FIXED]
-All actions trying to fix the Screen brightness adjustment didn't work. [FAILED]
Please do help me on this. Thanks in advance!!!

Yes I own U400 too and I'm using it now. To many forums been read, can't remember which one. Basically, u have to clean AMD and Intel drivers that come along with Win 8. Why? Because the Win8 driver database will lead the device ID "DEV_6760" (if you looking at display adapter device properties) to HD 7400 series instead of HD 6470M, again why? At the bigining only the HD 7400 series already "certified" by Microsoft, while the 6470M out of somewhere. Current CCC (or else) + 6470 drivers, contain also driver for 7400 series in same packages (at least until now, hopefully near future they will release an update). So you can gues where the windows will lead to? Yes 7400 series (certified one). This will explain also why the Energy Management didn't work to= "missing identifier" or we can say "hardware not match".
You have to find a "fix" driver which contain only HD 6470M and install it manually trhu "Have Disk" option, after you claan all AMD and Intel driver. If you success, then install the CCC from Lenovo Support and from ATI ( I use 12.11 Beta8 Net4 CCC - this is a must), but remember to unchek the AMD Display driver when you install both CCC, and leave the rest checked including Intel Component. Then you can download install anything you want =).
Leschat's driver did't work on my and "harm" the system. Believe it or not, I found the AMD 6470M standalone driver on HP website. They call it "SoftPack", which actually contain CCC software.
It's quite tricky thing, that's why not everyone willing to try. But I think it's worth to try, as the risk is not too deep, just backup anything befor you do it. Cheer

Windows 10 pro upgrade problems from windows 7 pro

touch pad is now inoperable, had to hook up external mouse to operate computer. needs to be tweeked out a little more i guess.

Hi Ok best thing to do using your machines Recovery program is reset the machine back to factory settings , Try and do at least one round of Windows updates and you should be pushed the Upgrade again . Try the upgrade again and see how things go BUT if you get a error message again during the upgrade you have 2 choices , Again reset the machine to Win 7 and wait for a couple of months for Windows 10 to bed in and bugs being sorted out OR you could try and do a clean install using the Windows 10 media creation tool ( link below ) you will need a recordable dvd or flash stick ( at least 4GB in size )to create the ISO. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Checkurtech

[TUTORIAL] GE70 2OE Installing Windows 7 (OS CHANGE)

Hello Forum,
Here is my very first post on this forum... but I wanted to share my experience with switching OS on the new GE70 2OE-015NL (as the product name says, I'm from The Netherlands )
I bought my GE70 and immidiately wanted to switch my OS to Windows 7... I owned a Dell Vostro 1700 Series and OS switches were never a problem on that notebook... as soon as i started with the OS change I ran into some problems that were difficult for me to fix (I'm not an expert) There were almost no tutorials to find about this, but I managed to fix it!
Before I figured out what to do, I called MSI Support so they could tell me if I could safely remove the BIOS_RVY partition etc. but as soon as I got someone on the phone and I told him that I already deleted the Windows 8 partitions and didn't get Windows 7 to install he began shouting that MSI doesn't support OS changes and that I had to send an email to their tech support so they could decide later on if they would help me or not.... I didn't ask for anything, I only wanted to know if I fkd up my new Notebook or that it would be repairable... a BIG for the MSI Tech Support! After I called I immidiately googled if it was safe to delete the BIOS_RVY partition but there were no such forum posts that I could find.. Therefore I decided to make this post!
REMINDER: this tutorial is for those that find it difficult or are scared to change their OS without knowing what's going to happen.. I had to figure this all out on my own and therefore I want to help other people with similar problems! So maybe it's a bit noob for this forum I don't know.. but please don't hate because of that! ^^
WARNING: THE INSTALLED OS MUST BE A 64-BIT VERSION, ALSO I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR NOTEBOOK/NETBOOK!
It is also recommended that you download all the drivers for Windows x64 before you install Windows because the network card won't work because of a lack of drivers so you need a second PC with a USB or you download them before the OS switch and put them on a USB.
Step 1: Make a bootable DVD/USB with Windows 7 x64 ISO on it, this can be done with Rufus for USB Flash Drives or PowerISO for DVD's! (I'm sorry I'm not allowed to post external links so you will have to google it )
Step 2: Restart the PC and when the text MSI pops up you press the DEL (numpad " . " key) and you will get into the BIOS Menu
Step 3: Go to the BOOT tab and select Boot Mode (or something similar) and change the Boot Mode from UEFI to Legacy
Step 4: Now you're Windows USB/DVD should be bootable (Microsoft says that Windows 7 supports UEFI Boot but I tried using multiple ISO's on different USB's and DVD's with different write speeds etc. but I didn't get Windows 7 Setup to boot beyond the 'Starting Windows' screen)
Step 5: When Windows 7 Setup is Booted select your country settings and time format and don't select the Upgrade option but the Custom (advanced) option to install Windows 7.
Now it's getting a bit difficult for most of us... Windows 7 Booted in a Legacy Boot Mode does not support GPT (Guid Partition Table) Disks, those can only be writed upon in UEFI mode. So now we need to change the Disk Partition Table to MBR (Master Boot Record). When you're at the partition menu, format and delete all partitions (yes don't worry you can safely delete all the partitions (when deleting the BIOS_RVY partition the F3 Hotkey function won't work anymore but we don't want that because it will recover Windows 8 but we hate that OS.. that's why we want to change to Windows 7!)
Step 6: Now that all the partitions are deleted on the disk, we can openup CMD this can be done by pressing SHIFT+ F10 in the partition menu of the Windows 7 Setup.
Now type the following commands:
Diskpart
List Disk
Select Disk # (probably 0, because the most notebooks only have 1 HDD)
Convert MBR
Now your HDD is converted to a MBR Partition Table
Step 7: Make a new partition (or more, depends on how much storage you have and want on your C:\ partition, Windows will automatically make some System partition(s))
Step 8: Select the partition on which you want to install Windows 7 and let it install! the MSI GE70 2OE supports Windows 7 x64 so all the drivers for that OS can be downloaded at the MSI website, product info (GE70 2OE) and then downloads -> Drivers.
Step 9: Install all the drivers and you're ready to go!
I hope I helped you with this problem, for me it was kinda hard to figure out that you could safely delete all the partitions on the disk without screwing up your PC.. So I hope I gave you some confidence with doing so after reading this tutorial!

Hey man
I did this on the new msi ge60 2oc 014ne, which should be pretty much the same. Almost everything seems fine now except for two things.. I still cant det the wireless network adapter working, even though the ethernet works and Ive installed all drivers i could find. Do you have any idea what to do?
Second thing, in the Windows experience index, it gives my graphics card the grade 5.1, but it should be around 7. I installed the nvidia driver and all, so it doesn't really make sense to me... Any suggestions? Thanks!
Oh yeah, and the big foot boot agent message that shows up every time i boot the machine, i cant make it go away... I click shift + f10, clicks disable message and f4 for save and quit.. But it shows up again nemt time i boot... An annoying useless waste of time..
I guess it's pretty much the same indeed, do you have installed the Windows 7 x64 drivers for your wireless adapter or tried to install the Windows 8 ones? That could be the problem? If that's not the case and your ethernet is working, try checking for windows updates and see if it automatically installs the drivers for you? Make sure you installed the AzureWave Wireless LAN-NB114H driver that is available for your PC for Win7 x64, that driver as the name suggests is for wireless connection. Killer Bigfoot LAN is just for boosting your card so it's faster over LAN but the AzureWave makes the wireless connection available.. It worked for me so it should work for you?
If you did this all, try reinstalling it.. If that doesn't work, try formatting al partitions again en reinstall Windows 7 and start with a clean install...
About the videocard rate.. If your having problems with low FPS during gaming (maybe lower than normal) make sure you have installed the MSI driver for your graphic card (don't download it from the NVidia website) If you don't know, you can find all drivers for your device on the MSI website, Products -> Notebooks -> Gaming Series -> GE60 2OC -> Downloads
If the lower rate of the video card didn't cause low FPS I wouldn't worry too much if I were you
Oh, and about the Bigfoot Boot Manager.. I have the exact same thing.. I'm still figuring out how to get rid of it, but for now I went into the configure mode and set the message to disabled and the message time to 1 second (so that 1 second extra boot time isn't that bad..) If I found a solution to get rid of it I will let you know!
Hope I helped you, if not feel free to reply and ask again! We will figure it out together, or with help from someone else on this forum!

GE70 2OE: How to successfully update to Windows 8.1

Hi all. I have successfully upgraded my MSI GE70 2OE (non-raid sku) to Windows 8.1. It is a little bit of a headache, but I will cover what I did in order to get it to work*.
1) Download Windows 8.1 from the Windows Store. It will download and automatically install in the background. It takes a little bit, depending on internet connection.
2) While this is going on, download the appropriate Windows 8.1 drivers/BIOS/EC (MSI GE70 2OE. If you are using the raid sku aka a laptop that came with a Super Raid setup use the raid sku bios. (Do this while the update is downloading). Do not install these yet. (Note: THESE DRIVERS ARE FOR THE MSI GE70 2OE ONLY!)
3) Download the MSI HQ USB BIOS Flash Tool. You will need a USB flash drive/key for this portion.
4) Right click on the BIOS file you downloaded and make sure it is unblocked. Then unzip the BIOS file. Follow this tutorial using "method 2: Processing a BIOS file directly". This step will make a bootable USB key so you can flash to the Windows 8.1 BIOS.
5) Once Windows 8.1 is downloaded, let it install. Do not do any installing of drivers/BIOS/EC at this time. Let Windows boot back to the lock screen. Once it gets there, shutdown the laptop.
6) Reset the EC using this procedure.
7) Insert the USB key you created in step 4. Start the laptop. Press the DELETE key during startup (before you see the MSI screen) to enter the BIOS. Set the BIOS to boot from a USB key. Exit and Save changes (F10). Let the key update the BIOS.
8) Once this is done, allow the computer to restart. Press the DELETE key to enter the BIOS. Once you are in the BIOS, you can remove the USB key. Change the options for boot back to the "UEFI: Windows Boot Manager" option. Exit and save (F10).
9) Let the computer boot into Windows 8.1. You will have to go through all the setup options you did when you first got your laptop. I did not experience any loss of data, but YMMV. If everything went correctly, you should not either.
10) Once you are done with the initial setup, you can log in and start installing all your Windows 8.1 drivers you downloaded from MSI. After EACH driver install, restart your computer.
11) Once you are done with driver installs, shutdown Windows and do the EC reset procedure (discussed in step 6).
12) (Note: Before doing this step, make sure you save all work, as the computer will shutdown once this step completes). Once this is done, reboot into Windows. You now need to install the EC file you downloaded in step 2. (This file will be listed under the Firmware section in the link I provided). Once downloaded, right click the file, make sure you unblock it, then unzip the file. You want to run the file in the folder "whatever you named the unzip location">1757EMS1.506>Win named Autoflash.exe. Once this is complete, the computer will automatically shutdown.
13) After shutdown, reset the EC using the procedure discussed in steps 6 and 11.
14) At this point, you can now start up your computer. Everything should be (tm) working correctly.
*I want to point out that this is the method i used and may not work for you. If you attempt to do these things, you do so at your own risk. MSI, myself, and the flying spaghetti monster are not responsible for any loss of data, malfunctioning hardware, or broken objects in your home that may result from using this procedure. This guide is provided as is, with no warranty. Void where prohibited by law.
If you have any issues, I will attempt to help as best I can. However, the above statement applies.

You can't roll back the software.
The key combination to take a screenshot changes to Power + Volume up in WP8.1.
In order to troubleshoot the WiFi issue, you would need to provide more info on what happens when you try to connect. Is there an error message, for example?
Uploading pics might be a problem in things like Facebook and Instagram if you only have a 2G connection, but if you have 3G or 4G then again give more info about what you try to upload to where and what happens and we can try to help.

Ge70 2OE Laptop with window 8.1 Pro installed unlock virtualization via bios

I have installed windows 8.1 pro on the c: drive over the original window 8.
I was told in order to enable virtualization I had to update my bios .
I went to the site of msi/downloads and went to ge70 2OE and downloaded the bios update for windows 8.1 no raid..
I did exactly what the help file told me to do. I went just as in the screens.
I went to the bios but the version number (2.15.1236) was still the same. Also virtualization was still not enabled .
What is here the problem. I it windows 8.1 Pro?. Or did I do something wrong in the process?

GE70 2OE Recovery Problems.

Hello all,
I'm new to MSI notebooks and just bought MSI GE70 2OE.
I just had some problems with Windows updates and started facing performance drops and Windows Explorer started restarting for no reason.
So I decided to use recovery via F3 button. But when I enter into the recovery it asks me for recovery media eventhough I didn't touch any partition and drive names.
I checked this on MSIs site and found w w w. m s i. c o m/faq/nb-933.html this page.
But the link for the fix file doesn't work anymore. If anyone can share it with me it will be huge help.
Thank you in advance.

This doesn't seem right at all, but is the same as the behaviour I'm seeing with the latest drivers. All the three performance states have the same settings. I guess P0 is what the driver activates when it wants to run full speed, ie 405 MHz in my case. Using GPU Shark I can see that the driver switch to P0 when starting a game.
I currently have the older driver from msi.com loaded, 310 something. This driver seems to disregard the P-settings, but has the problem that it sometimes between 135 and 901MHz several times per second when playing.

MSI GE70-2oe - GPU Problem

Hi
My notebook runs Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (and few other games) with Intel® HD Graphics 4600 but It should use GTX765, even If I set in Nvidia control panel to use high performance graphics card.
Please help, If you know how to force notebook to use better graphic card in games.
My MSI GE70-2oe:

right click on the .exe file and select nvdia processor
64bit versions of those games are still using Intel GPU, even with right click and select nvidia processor.

I find your problems pretty odd. I downloaded Planetside 2 from Steam and by default it ran on my GTX 680M (64bit exe). I changed the gfx processor from Nvidia control panel, 3D settings, program settings to Intel [the exe is Planetside 2(launchpad.exe)] and the game ran then on it. 19 fps on Intel HD 4000, 59 fps (seems to be capped at screen refresh rate) on Nvidia. My drivers are 344.65 and 10.18.10.3958, on Win 8.1 64bit.
When I'm running this game (64bit) just after logging in to the game (map view), my laptop automatically changes used gpu from Nvidia to Intel HD Graphics, even if I right click on exe file and select high preformance gpu..
Maybe its Windows 8.1 ??

MSI msi GE70 2OE-017US HDD problem

Hi
I just bought a MSI GE70 2OE-017US Windows 8
and after like 2 weeks, i was having slow performance issues and when checking what was causing it, it was because my Disk was often going to 100%.. I have tried many things, like changing the virtual memory, but that didnt work, i'm also sure that it's not a virus since i have bitdefender 2013 and check daily for viruses, and mallware with malwarebytes, so I decided to do a re-install of windows 8 and it didn't seem to help, i'm suspecting that it might be that the Hitachi HTS727575A9E364 is breaking down or something, because i really don't get what the problem is...
Could someone please help me out?
Here is a screenshot of my task manager
Oh and i also did a chkdsk.
Thanks

I guess you run Windows 8, you can go to "task manager" and check the what SW runs in HDD, or please print out the screen and post here, MSI tech support will help you next...

setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

Hi marsano,
Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
* Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
# Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
# [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
# Run installer
Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
Hopefully this helps!

ITunes 11.1.4 for windows has installation or upgrade problems

anyone knows why iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows cannot be upgraded and it always hit problem with the message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started....." when the upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 aborted half way with the message. I tried downloading manually the iTunes 11.1.4 for windoes package from Apple website and tried performing the installation or upgrade manually form my Windows computer. But it failed everytime with the same error message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started...." I tried on two different Windows computers (one laptop on Windows Vista and the one Desktop on Windows 7) and they all failed also. Please help if anyone knows what is wrong. Thanks.
BTW, after the failed upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 for windows, I cannot use iTunes anymore with the following error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." But reinstalling iTunes 11.1.4 always failed. So I am in a catch-22 situation. no way to proceed with iTunes on my Windows computers.
