GT 70 2PC - HDD working in the background/display issue

Hi guys,
I experienced 2 strange problems with my MSI GT70 2PC Dominator:
First of all, after installing my SSD and fresh installation of Win 7, the HDD still is to hear(led is indicating it as well) while booting the system. Is it normal that the HDD is still doing some actions in background?
Moreover, after connecting my screen with DisplayPortCable, I chose an option to only use my external display. However after choosing this option, the laptop's screen seems like it's still iluminated (yeah, it's black, but iluminated). The only aid is to switch from the external to laptop display and back again to ext. screen. Is there any fix for that?

Hello xaero18,
Storage activity LED is indicating when any storage devices are working, including the SSD, but excluding the ODD.
I've borrowed a GT70 2PE (880M though) and tested the DP output, but can't replicate your problem. Maybe you can try to update your video BIOS to see if it will resolve the problem. Download it from MSI website: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-firmware
I'll also test this if I could find any 870M card later.

    Very few apps run in the background.  Those that do should have a  way to stop them from within the app.

  • Need help with working in the background while doing a presentation

    Hi guys,
    I wanted to know if my MBP had a way to let me do a presentation, where on my screen I could tell it to present what I wanted it to present rather than showing every single move that I would make. If for instance, I were to open an app for looking up something to present, I wouldn't want people to see that action, but rather the things that I would put on a special window or virtual place created just for that.
    Maybe there's an app that will let me do this? What happens to me know is that when I connect the MBP to the data show presenter, everything I do gets displayed on the big screen on the wall. I want to work in the background without people seeing that. Please help. Thanks.

    The system software makes it about as easy as possible. Press fn+F7 (the pictographic mnemonic on the F7 kety is two overlapping rectangles). This will toggle the display mode between mirroring (same image on internal and external display) and spanning (each display independently contributing to the total viewable area).
    As a bonus when using Keynote (the presentation software from iWork) in a dual-screen configuration, you get one display showing the presentation and the other showing you context (the upcoming slide) and a timer. Check out the demo included with you MacBook.

    Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter? I like to have two monitors and currently using an Cinema Display from 2005. Thanks

    If your computer does not have Thunderbolt you cannot use a Thunderbolt display.  There are no adapters that will help.

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Hi Matt,
    I purchased my imac in November of 2010 and below is a cut and past from Hardware overview. It has 1 TB hardrive, with 670 GB free. When i start up in the morning, it boots normal then freezes. Half the time i can get it to restart before it freezes, other half i have to power down then restart. At the same time throughout this process the little pixel squares show up sometimes in a single line or two aross the screen, then sometimes more random. After about 7 times of rebooting, everything runs fine for the day with no weird pixels. then i shut down at night, and start the porcess over in the morning. Thanks for your help!

  • How can I get my renders to work in the background?

    Hi,
    I installed After Effects pretty much without changing anything, so the settings are more or less default.
    I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8 and After Effects CS6
    I have enabled media and disk cache, max disc cache is at 100GB and I have an external drive (with 900GB spare) as the volume selected beneath that option. My internal SSD has not much spare on it. I previously had the internal SSD as the disc cache and still had this same problem.
    My project is 1920 x 1080 25fps - And I'm trying to render to Quicktime. I've tried rendering to stills and then outputting to Quicktime (so as to have less computational effort), then running them through but the same problem persists.
    If After Effects is the application in focus the project renders fine.
    If After Effects is not the application in focus - ie. I work with it rendering in the background, the 'FINISHED' sound plays and the render is cut short a short while after I started working in another program.
    The project render time is about an hour, so it's not really convenient.
    I've googled extensively and posted this here before and no solution.
    Please help.
    Toby
    ps. ADOBE: Don't mean to be rude, but is there some fix for this text entry box where the cursor randomly jumps to a previous line? - still broken guys!

    Hi Todd,
    Thanks, I've now installed the updates. Unfortunately the problem persists and furthermore, AME does not go the distance with rendering the full project, dropping the process after around the 5-8% mark (on first and second try).
    I can render the project successfully if AE is left unattended in the 'foreground'
    Please find attached screengrabs of my system profile and current AE settings (Disk and Cache settings were changed recently from having 100GB disk cache on external USB3 drive - still same behaviour).
    I notice there is no error log produced from AE as it seems to think the render is successfully completed. Please advise if I can produce a log to help troubleshoot this problem, as it seems AME does not provide a workaround.
    Thanks in advance.

  • CUO1 - BDC not working in the background.

    Hello Experts,
    We are trying to create dependencies using CU01, when we recorded through LSMW we have got an error saying *for type c' lenght can be from 1 to 65535, ( * caution message arised in the field mapping step)*
    we went on with a work around with a BDC, while recording we didn't find any errors,also when processing the recording the system doesn't throw any status message.
    After creating a ABAP program with the recording, we are seeing the status message when we run them in the "A" all screen mode when we press enter it is able to create the dependency however the BDC is not able to run in the background throwing with the same status message ($ it is not a screen field).
    thanks
    Venkat

    When running in the mode 'A', the navigation should only be through the ok_code pop up and not by pressing enter. If you had to navigate to the next screen only by hitting the enter manually, there is a problem with the recording. Try to re-run the recording else manually add the code for the enter function with reference to a correct recording.

  • Youtube Autoplay not working in the background!

    Why isn't autoplay of youtube videos not running in the background of Safari? It works fine in Firefox or Chrome, but in Safari, everytime a video is done, I have to make the youtube tab active for it to start playing the next video in the playlist. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in Safari and has not been fixed for a long long time.. Is there a way to get this working? Any extensions? Please help.

    Hi, I have encountered the same problem when the youtube page is running on a background tab in safari. However, I find a alternative way to deal with this bug. I just draw that youtube tab out of safari to make it running in a seperate safari window without any other tabs in this window. In this way, it can autoplay the next video when it running background.
    Hope this also works for you.

  • Working in the background

    Hello, I have an important question. I am currently developing an application that needs to work on a certain task for a very long while. What I want to do is to make the application work on this task but in the background so that it won't interfere with the user's other processes. Is this possible?
    With Thanks,
    laginimaineb.

    I'm sorry but I probably didn't explain myself well. What I meant is that this process takes all CPU usage, so I would like it to run in the background, using less resources and running slower but by doing so allowing the user to perform other tasks in the meanwhile.
    With Thanks,

  • Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?

    I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?

    Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.
