Thank you for reply. I think I downloaded the right stuff since the downloaded file's name was <860M>. I will download the vbios via msi gs60 offical page and go by dos mode. But do you recommend to flash it cuz i did run 3d mark 11 for 3-4 hours constantly and found no error to force quit. All I concert is fan speed (min. 3333 rpm for normal use from the DGC interface) and the noise but I am not sure if the new vbios can do anything good about that. Thanks again.

DirectX 11 games don't work on MSI GS60-2PE Ghost Pro

I have MSI GS60-2PE Ghost Pro
Every game, that uses dx11 doesn't load. It just gives a black screen. If I try to launch the game on the intel hd graphics card, a game launches (with obvious lack of perfomance). I tried installing the latest drivers, switching to some old drivers, but it didn't help.

ah your having same problem as me Alienizer my gs70 came back from repair with a broke GTX 870M that couldnt play anything on DX11 so to confirm this install futurmark 3DMARK 11 then tell me if you get this error DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG if it does then your GTX 870M is broken and you would have to send it to MSI Service where they can repair under warranty hopefully if your laptop is still new
Update: this type of issue cannot be fixed by drivers switching or upgrading since issue will presist so this is mostlikely a failure in GTX 870M chip itself so yeah if futuremark 3DMARK 11 throws above error then i can confirm GPU of yours is dead it isnt doing preformace because it's broken.
Update 2: Sorry i meant to say install Futurmark 3DMARK 11 then run a full DX11 test durring load if you see loadbar behaving weird like it becomes out of place and you see white dots above thats sign of GPU is failing so then aprox half way the bar will load but then freeze and shortly after it will exit and program will throw a window log with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG near bottom of log.

GS60 2PE Ghost Pro - Windows install

Hi,
I've recently bought a GS60 2PE Ghost pro which come with a SDD and a HDD with Windows 8.1 installed.
I would like to do 2 things and would like to know the best way to do it :
- Moving windows onto HDD
- having Ubuntu 14.10 on SSD (this will be my main OS)
I prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8 but I don't have any licence for Windows 7. Is it legit to downgrade to a Windows 7 ?
If I use Windows 7, I think I would have to reinstall completely so I just need to directly install on HDD. However I'm not very familiar with UEFI and I don't know what should be looked at.
If I use Windows 8, I would like to clone the SSD partitions to the HDD, or, if possible, directly install windows 8 on the hdd using the recovery functions.
What would be the best way to do that ?

you can't downgrade to windows 7 and you must have license to re-install your windows 8 to windows 7 so do a USB recovery first before proceeding this incase you want to re-store your laptop to factory default in future , to install windows 8 on HDD or windows 7 you can do it yes but you still need a license for windows 7.

GS70 2PE Stealth Pro Direct 3D Problem

Hi guys, I just got my GS70 less than 24 hrs ago. I updated windows, installed Elder Scrolls Online and i couldnt launch it. Screen got stucked at during intro and has huge pixels all over the screen. Sometimes, the message Kernel Driver Display Error comes out at the bottom.
Updated graphics driver. Run game, still the same.
Restore factory settings. Run game, still the same.
Restore factory, update direct x, windows, and driver. Run game, still the same. Installed Bioshoch Infinite, run benchmark, tells me Direct 3D error. Im convinced something is wrong between the graphics card (870m) and the Direct X11 is the problem.
Anyone had this problem before?

Hello! VMware says that vt-x is not enabled on this computer, even though the CPU should support it. I don't see the option to enable this in the BIOS. Is it possible that MSI's BIOS version disabled it? If so, I'd like a BIOS that would allow me to enable it and other similar features. Please contact me as soon as is convenient for you.

MSI GS60 2PE Ghost Pro 3K Edition

Does the MSI GS60 2PE Ghost Pro 3K Edition have a backlit keyboard like the MSI GS60 2PE Ghost Pro?

Taken from:
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GS60_2PE_Ghost_Pro_3K_Edition.html#overview
"Keyboard by SteelSeries with LED back light and solid feedback design"
I would assume that means it does.

MSI Global GS60 2PE Ghost Pro Wifi and Sound problems

Hello!
I have just recently bought a new GS60 Ghost Pro and I must say I am a bit disappointed. I have two issues that I'd like to resolve as soon as possible.
First and foremost, the WiFi. The Intel 7260 WiFi card simply isn't working properly. I have to stay within 5 meters of my router to get decent speeds. When I go to another room, the connection speed drops to roughly 20 times less than it was. This does not even happen even on my 6 year old Dell. (!) I have tried installing the latest drivers and I am 100% positive it's not a router issue. How can I fix this?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that WiFi even drops out during online games. Can't really think of anything more frustrating on a freaking GAMING laptop!
Secondly, I have noticed that only the bottom side speakers are working on my machine. This means sound quality is horrible. I have checked "sound devices" and there I have the possibility to either make default the top side speakers or the bottom ones. How can I make them both work at the same time?
Should I take my machine back to the seller?
Really hoping you can help

For the wifi, try to do the settings from the FAQ link.
1. http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-1178.html
2. http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-1084.html
If issue still remains, then send it to the service center.
As for the speakers issue, tell us your OS version and the audio driver version you're having now.

GS60 2PE Ghost Pro extra power adapter - UK

Hi,
I live in the UK and I would like to buy an additional power adapter for my Ghost Pro. I've called MSI and they don't have any to sell.
I've googled the model number of the power adapter (ADP 150VB) but I don't see any for sale in the UK. There are some available on ebay but they are shipping from the US. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe you have purchased an extra one in the UK.
Thanks

best luck for you is to check ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, ebay.com and amazon.de, amazon.co.uk, amazon.com these 6 websites usually have most stuff you need within EU or at least shipping from China where product is made.

GS60 Ghost Pro 2PE keyboard issue

The scissor clips in the F key on my GS60's keyboard broke beyond repair, and I can't find any site that has GS60 key replacements, and the nearest thing to a solution is buying a whole replacement keyboard, something I would prefer to avoid having to pay for, along with sending the laptop in to get it replaced. I know how to safely remove and replace chiclet keycaps as well. If anyone here knows where I can get replacement keys, that would be a huge help. The keyboard uses the US layout, if that information helps.
First thread, apologies if anything is unclear.

I think you are pretty much screwed as far as finding just the key caps. You'll most likely need to purchase a whole new keyboard. And if you do, I would suggest doing it through the MSI Store.
https://shop.msicomputer.com/App/StoreFront/shop_Contact.aspx
Use the email link to contact them directly, giving your model # and other information. They should be able to get you the keyboard you would need for your laptop.
Otherwise you'd probably have to check eBay.

GS60 Ghost Pro - Some parts of Steel Keyboard are not illuminated

Hi,
I bought myself a GS60 2PE Ghost Pro a couple of days ago. The Keyboard illumination was working fine at first, but today I noticed that some parts of my Steel Keyboard are not illuminated anymore. My laptop was updated by Windows Update Manager, so I thought it had something to do with newly installed updates. But I did a full system recovery with F3 and the keyboard is still not illuminated properly.
Any ideas what can fix this issue?

I have checked out the GS60 2PC (same generation as yours) and I saw what you mean.
I didn't notice this before when I tested the GS60 models.
When looking at the keyboard on smaller angle (<70°) you can see there is less light coming from the F1, F7, F8, F9, F11, TAB, CAPS, SHIFT, ENTER and Numpad keys.
The amount of light that is visible below the keys isn't consistent everywhere and that seems to suggest that the keyboard back-lighting isn't working properly at those keys.
Looking below the F7, F8, F9 keys, I see that only the top left part of the key is illuminated, while other keys (i.e. F2..F6) are also illuminated on the right part of the key.
I have checked with our R&D department and this is a design choice.
The F2..F6 keys have a symbol in the top-left and the bottom-right part of the key and the F1, F7..F9, F11 only have a symbol in the top-left, which doesn't require lighting in the lower right part of the key.
This also applies to the bigger keys (TAB, CAPS, SHIFT, ENTER and Numpad keys), only the center of the key where the symbol resides is illuminated.
When looking at the keyboard in dim/dark rooms the keyboard back-lighting works as expected and keys can easily be identified because the symbol on the key lights up.
I hope the attached pictures clarify the situation (It isn't easy to capture the real effect with a simple digital camera. The situation in the pictures actually look worse than viewing it in real life).
P.S.,
More pictures and a video in the attached Zip file.
The video might show the situation the best.

MSI GS60 Ghost Pro Golden Edition - A Combination of Stylish and High Performance.

I have no idea who can say no to this shining and charming beauty....
The BackStory
When I studied at graduate school, I bought my first laptop, Asus F3J, of my life and brought it to school everyday. Actually it was a 2.9kg around laptop for gaming and I felt like carry a heavy brick. It was quite inconvient and kind of suffer for a person like me who was not doing fitness. After I graduated from school and was being a member of society, I decided to find a laptop that was much lighter and easier to bright to work. Toshiba R830 was what I chose, but this time, the performance of playing some hardcore game wasn’t good enough since it doesn’t have a discrete graphics card.
I started to believe there is a trade off between perforamnce and weight of laptop with these two experience. Until one day, I came across with MSI GS60 Ghost Pro at Computex 2014, it was a notebook weigh just around 2kg and uncompromising with high performance. In more detail, It had core I7 CPU、High-end GTX graphics card and two 256MB SSD within it. From that day, I know it is the notebook am looking for, it is a note book I can bring to work and also play game at home. Furthermore, MSI is going to issue the limited Golden edition of it around the end of year, it gave me one more reason to buy this “good stuff”, because both me and my girl think gold is the most fashion color in recent year, just like iphone. So that is the backstory, now i just have the golden one and is going to unbox it for you.
The Main Specification
MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 2QE Golden Edition:
•   CPU: Core i7-4710HQ (2.5GHz – 3.5GHz)
•   OS: Windows 8.1

•   Memory Supplied: 16G 2*8GB DDR3L 1600

The Unboxing
It is a really big one, please do drive your car while buying this NB from the shop.
Inside the main brown shipping box, there are MSI stylish back bag and the a black branded carry case.
The back back is grey color with good material quality, it also a simple and fashion design which is suitable for young or stylish worker. The sense of touch is also good.
There are several layers inside the bag, even more, a shock-absorbing laptop sleeve in it. What a surprise!!
In the big black branded carry case. There are two black box, one is for accessory. One is for the main role “GS60” with sponge to protect it as you can see in the photo.
Let see the accessory box first, a MSI gaming mouse、a MSI/SteelSeries Flux headset、a keyboard protector and a mouse pad.
The mouse has red light shining on both side when it connect to the laptop. It’s really a gaiming stuff! We can also see the double braided cord that improved the durability.
As “+” and “-“ these buttons in the middle of the mouse, user can adjust the sensity of the mouse instantly by these two bottons in the game. No need to waste your time finding the adjument UI within the game. It is such a good benefit for a gamer.
The Flux headset has ear cushions with mesh-cloth material it let you feel comfortable when wear it. You also can find out the color of the shell beside the headset can be changed, one pair is MSI design in red color, the other one is pure black one.
It also has a convenient design that the earmuff can be folded, in order to make the headset into a plat one and easy to put in your bag.
The performance of the headset is high-end and highs that don’t get brittle. About the deep bass, it also quite stunning. Overall, it can make the music carry listener’s heart.
It deserves you to put it on the top of your gaming headset list.
Here we open another black box, the GS60 is packaging by the non-woven cloth.
There are also the power adaptor、power cord and mini displayport to D-sub cable.
By the way, the power adapter is 25.53 mm thick and 0.52kg. weigh, 19.5V and 7.7A output.
Moreover, there are instruction manuals、several driver CDs and even two military dog tag with MSI logo, actually I am not a military lover, so I am going to use them as a key ring but not to hang on my neck.
Finally, let us see a royal-like GS60 Ghost Pro Golden…
Using Mg-Li alloy as the material, its chasis gains the advantage of both ultra-light and solid.
According to MSI official website, the idea of design comes from the stealth fighter, so it shows dynamic streamline in its design. Beside the visual effect, it makes you feel comfortable when typing due to the slimmer front edge and solid palm rest. The high gloss finish and bright gold will reflect light, so it change color slightly in different lighting condition. Overall, it delivery supreme visual treat.
To see a more apparent golden color, I put it on my sofa with yellow background.
Shinging and charming….
The fancy muscle curve and hire line surface make it elegant and gorgeous.
The shield and the MSI logo, they are delicated design without roughness.
The black color keycap contrast with the golden chasis apparently.
The touchpad looks cool as well, the material it made let the surface being anti-skidding and you wont leave your fingerprint on it.
It has Dynaudio speaker and Steelseries keyboard these two famous brand as it high-end equipment. 4 channel speakers and comfortable tactile keyboard. Moreover, the Graphics card it equiped is GTX 970M,
One of the lastest high-end Nvidia GTX graphics card. It is the first gaming notebook to equip GTX 970M .No doubt MSI regard themselves as the leader brand of gaming.
Sound Blaster Cinema 2+Dyanudio, Bravo~~
Let’s check the connectivity of this beauty.
No ports but seried of cooling vents at the rear panel,in order to let air flow and palm rest feeling.
being better.
The left side of it located the microphone (line out) and headphone (line in) jack, two USB 3.0 ports, the power connector socket and a security port. Also the vent close to the rear panel. The metal golden jack can isolate much more noice and enhance the reality of music as not being distortion.
The right side of GS60 located an USB 3.0 port, card reader, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI port, and GB LAN (RJ45). GS60 Ghost Pro can support 2 external moniotr with mini display and HDMI port. When playing PRG game, you can use the main one to play game, the other one can show a walkthrough. The last one, you can even use skype or outlook to connect others.
The front side you can see the LED to show some fuction status. Such as the battary status and bloothtooth has been turned on or not..etc.
From bottom of this notebook you can see the battery is not removable, I guess the idea probably come from iphone. In fact, I seldomly remove the battery when I using a laptop, unless it really heavy to carry. But this time, GS60 is not heavy, so it wont be a problem to me.
I used the scaler to measure the actual weight and ruler to see how thin it is, the result cames out 19.95mm thin and 2.1kg weight. Is it really a gaming machine I used to think of?! Such an ultra-book style.
As I know, all the gaming notebook used to be black and silver color, there are few gaming notebook with others color. MSI this time has find its way to make a breakthrough. Of course, the creative thinking and the adventurous action is what we need in gaming world!!
In a word, as you can see from the picture above ,the metallic feel of it is so attractive!!It is the most stylish and creative gaming notebook I have ever seen.
All of above are the unboxing of hardware part.let’ talk about some function and feature of this treasure.
Dragan Gaming Center which is preinstalled in this MSI laptop. With this application, you can monitor the status of the important elements in the system. You can also quick start a game or an utility through it.
Fn+F7="Shift", according to the official website, the key can be used to change the mode of the notebook in 3 status, the default "Sport"mode、"Comfort" mode and "Green mode", it is a adjustment function to control the CPU and GPU workload in order to balance the performance and temperature
Use "Shift" to switch the mode you prefer.
Green- System locks both GPU and CPU chip temp.
Comfort- System locks GPU chip temp and dynamic adjusts the GPU chip temp
Sport- Defaut and without any control.
I am not afraid about the high temperature and noise from fans, so I like to use the default one, Sport mode~
If you are playing a game in the library, please do choose Green mode to keep the fan from being busy.
The "Shift" is MSI exclusive function, the idea comes from the shifting gear in automobile.
Here comes another interesting feature, which is called Killer Double Shot Pro.With this function,
the GB LAN and Wireless LAN act like combined togather and user can acquire the bandwith from both.
Killer Netwok Manager UI
This network technology also offers you a smooth background when playing game, because you can set the gaming applications as higher priority to use the bandwith than others. What a bravo feature!!
The highest resolution of GS60 Ghost Pro is 2880*1620 which is also called 3K,
as you can see from the screenshot below, when playing game you gain much more visual delight.
With the HDMI and mini display output, you can enjoy a 1+2 matrix display function.
With the XSplit Gamecaster preintalled in GS60, you can share your game just in time through live streaming while playing it. however, I won't use this function because I don't wanna share my skill to the others, hahaha~~
The Steal Series Engine, it is my favorite. You can set the keypress macro、text macro or lauch application just in one key. For example, while playing Leaque of Legend, we always need to press Q、W、E、R、T
immediately, but with keypress macro function, you can trigger them just in one key. Quite convient, isn't it?
You can also choose the color you want for the keyboard backlit with Steal Series Egine. This function shows the gaming feature indeed.
That's see the multi-color backlit of it. What a show off!!!
Below is the hardware information showed by Nvidia Experience UI and GPU Z
GeForce GTX 970M with DDR5 3G and I7-4710HQ!!
I can't wait to see the 3D MARK 11 P score...
Here it got P9272 at sport mode. Outstanding!!
For 3D MARK Fire Strike, it got 6515 at sport mode. I have to say that GS60 Ghost Pro punches above its weight.
The result of Valley Benchmark 1.0 is below, score 1560 and FPS is 37.3.
Testing the Call of duty Ghost with FRAPS, while play the game, it goes smoothly and the fps showed at top-left is around 100~200. As you can see the delicated scenery and character there, it seems like act in the reality.
The sequencial read of these two SSD is 1022MB/s, it features from the Super RAID technology. Applying the RAID 0 technical usually used in server into SSD to make the IOPS much better.
Take a look at its outward appearance again, bring it oudoor to see its color under natural light.
Fantastic~~
I would like to say, the GS60 Ghost Pro Golden is Lamborghini in gaming laptop!! It will be all the rage.

This year, GTX970M performance is even better than 880M, with GS60's slim design, I can only say the advance of technology is so amazing!!!

Re: GS60 2QE(Ghost Pro 4K) Is anyone using this for office work / stock trading?

I'm using GS60 2PE Ghost Pro 15.6 inch with 1920x1080 for my daily work for following programs: InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects & Photoshop. Traveling to work with this machine 5 days a week and I totally happy with it. There is some negative expe...

I'm not sure if checking your RAM will affect your warranty. So, before you do anything, contact MSI and they will be able to tell you your options. They may even be able to guide you through some steps over the phone.
I hope everything works out oka...
