GT70 0NC Graphics issue and UEFI question

Hello,
I have a GT70 0NC with aGTX 670M card
I just recently updated to a newer bios in hopes that it would give me the options for selecting the GTX 670M as the Main Card rather that the HD4000.
I have attempted to set a game to run using the GTX 670M card in the Nvidia control panel, but in the game options, only the HD4000 is displaying as an option.
Also, I updated my bios in hopes it would become a graphical one... UEFI i believe they are called, but it still the old one i am used to with pretty much not options... is there a wait to make it UEFI?

Watch that video. I know it's in Polish, but you can get the idea of what you can do....
You'll need to download NVidia Inspector first.
Follow the same steps, but instead of using "Half-Life", use whatever program it is that you're trying to play.
Thanks DarkHawk, i will try that when i get home. i also found this on the Nvidia Inspector. similar to yours, but in english.
Sooooo, is there a way to update my bios to a UEFI version? I thought that all i would have to do was update my bios, but i would really like the options that a graphical bios can give me... is it even possible?
I have a:
MSI GT70 0NC Gaming i7 3610QM 12 gig Nvidia GTX 670M 3 GDDR5
I am running Win 7 Ult. (64 bit)
not sure what else i can tell you... any help would be appreciated.

GT70 2OLWS graphics issues.

I'm having some issues with my workstation and I'm about to toss it to the side and find something else. Hopefully you guys can help me as MSI support has been useless in solving the issues.
I was in need of a laptop to run Solidworks on for work so I bought a GT70 2OLWS-1614US around the first of September. It worked fine for the first few weeks with just general use (no solidworks). I installed solidworks and started using it for work and it started to act up. It would randomly shut down or reboot. Then it started with the BSOD. I contacted MSI support and they had me reconfigure it to factory specs (reboot holding F3). Still had the same issues so they issued an RMA and I sent it in. At this point, no big deal, all electronics can have issues and I felt it would get taken care of. 4 weeks later, I get my laptop back. They replaced the RAM and reinstalled the OS. Start the computer up and immediately get a notice stating a genuine copy of windows was not installed. It wanted me to buy a new license. I called MSI and they again had me reconfigure to factory specs. At this point I'm really not impressed. Did they bother to turn the laptop on after "fixing" it? While the solution to the problem was quick and easy, I would expect to get it back ready to use.
I installed Solidworks and started to work. It worked great for a few days. Then started acting up again. Now I am getting various errors related to the GPU. I've contacted MSI support through their website as well as calling and they just tell me to try reconfiguring it to factory specs, or send it in to them again for another month.
After reconfiguring the computer to factory specs (reboot holding F3) the computer will work fine for a while. Sometimes 6 hours, sometimes 2 days, before it throws the error. When the error occurs Solidworks crashes. I then have to reboot the computer and I can then work for a short amount of time 15-20 minutes before it will crash again. Each time it crashes it seems to crash quicker the next time. Rinse and repeat. I've attached the error I've been getting. Needless to say I can't actually get any work done with this computer.
The assemblies in Solidworks are not large files. They do not have that many parts. So I don't believe for a second that I'm asking too much of this computer. And if I am I simply have the wrong computer. I can open this same file on a different computer that's about 6 years old and it works fine. No errors with the GPU. Which leads me to believe its an issue with this laptop.
Thanks in advance!

This error won't be fixed by F3 recovery for sure.
Check the VBIOS version in the NVIDIA control panel and if it's not 80.04.E8.00.2C, update your VBIOS and try to run the 3DMark 11 and see if the problem remains.

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
     where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.
            DO.

Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

Downloaded Trial - An issues and some questions

I just downloaded the trial and have some issues and questions I hope someone here can help with.
My problem:
I am unable to use the Media encoder to create any output files. I get the error, "The source and output color space are not compatible or a conversion does not exist". This happens when I attempt compositing video clips. If I use a single video clip I don't have this issue.
Using the Export - Movie menu option works (for the same composite), but the amount of time it takes (a hour and 20 minutes for a 4 minute movie) too much and I can't see myselfe going too far or dooing too much work in this fashion. I believe my hardware specs are well above the required specs. If this normal?
Questions:
1. I can't import mpeg video. Is this by design? If so why?
3. I can't export to wmv? Is this by design, if so why?
What is the true minimum hardware spec. for someone intending to edit/create HDV? In other words, what is someone out there using that works. I'm really not looking to have to spend a ton of money on a new machine :).

John,
Thank you for the info. So I take it I can use mpeg as my source in the purchased product?
Do you know why I am not able to use the media encoder options to generate any output? What does the error message mean?
Jeron,
I'm not sure what your reply is in response to. (since I didn't ask about HDV) :)
I would like to hear from anyone about the hardware they're using for HDV work.
Are the minimum specs for HDV cited on the documentation really a viable editing experience?

MSI P67A-C45 - C-State, Turbo Boost, RAM and UEFI questions

I received my MSI P67A-C45 B3 a few days ago. After having installed the OS and the rest, I tried to enable C-State (no limit) and surprisingly it works (with the B2 it caused a freeze). After some time I noticed a sort of high pitched noise and I knew it was the C-State because I had read it here. So I just disabled it, later I'll tray to see if the other C-States (C3, C6, etc.) work without any noise. I'll also try different combinations of the phase mode, currently I'm using Intel SVID because it has a slightly lower idle voltage.
1) First thing, why do I hear a noise only when C-State is enabled? I'm curious.
2) I've also read that disabling the C-State affects how Turbo Boost works, is it true? If yes, what is the difference? Honestly I don't see any relation, one is a power saving feature and the other gives temporary extra performance when needed.
3) About the B3, I noticed that my RAM (G.Skill Ripjaws 1333MHz) haven't the correct timings, they are one value higher (more loose, for example 10 instead of 9).
This didn't happen with the B2 and UEFI 1.8, all the timings were exactly those in the JEDEC #4 profile. I see that in version 1.9 and 1.A they've improved memory compatibility, perhaps it's related?
Anyway since it doesn't matter to me I just left them on auto.
4) I'm not planning to update my UEFI (B3 came with v1.9) for a few months since it works fine (except that small RAM problem) and I don't overclock.
I noticed that the latest version is 1.A, so it's normal to use 1.A after 1.9? I've never seen it before.

This might shed some light on question #1. Reply #17; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147219.0
Thanks!
Does someone know anything about question #2?
@krkrkr
I'm currently using APS mode with C-State enabled and the noise isn't there. The strange thing is that the Vcore is the same both with C-State enabled or disabled. Anyway I think I'll continue using APS mode with C-State enabled, thanks.
Now I have a problem, I'm trying to update the UEFI but it doesn't work. I downloaded UEFI v1.A for the B3, then I used method I of the MSI HQ Tool but during the UEFI update it blocks at "Preparing to take a new BIOS backup". It just stays like that all the time...
How can I resolve?
Now I still have v1.9 and if I go in the CPU features I get "Error invalid input method" (or something similar, I can't remember properly). Before trying to update it didn't happen.

Msi gt70 with some issues and questions answer asap thanks

my first issue is my ssd it is just too small how do I increase it probably a step by step link to where I can purchase and learn how to install it second of all I really need my msi burn recovery so my f3 does not work anymore, I have my drivers cd but that doesn't have it, the next issue is softwares I use when the render the use my ssd and that makes them seriously slow the need more memory space I wish I could make them use the bigger harddrive at least for the main time till I get a new one, my soft keys work except eject and wireless off all others work

Wow.....
Well, first off, try and use some periods here and there. Or a list. Something to atleast break things up in a coherent manner.
So, you want a guide on how to install another SSD. That's a pretty complex matter, judging by what I can get out of your post, your technical prowess may not be where it needs to be in order to do that.
Also, without knowing what you currently have, other than it is a GT70, it really makes it difficult to tell you what to get.
As far as your software, I'm sorry, but there really isn't any way to help you since you seem to have not made the recovery disks like you were supposed to. I would contact MSI for more information on how to proceed at this point.
After we get the above sorted, we can work on your other questions.

GT70 3610qm Graphics Issue

Hey all,
I managed to pick up a GT70 3610qm 16gb RAM (2012 model I think) laptop on the cheap that has a faulty gtx 670m graphics card but I don't physically have the unit yet so just hypothetical questions at the moment.
Firstly, is it possible to run the laptop on the Intel graphics without the 670m being in the laptop?
Secondly, due to being on a budget, is it possible to stick an older mxm III graphics adapter in the laptop, lets say a GTX 460M which I can get cheap until I can afford to replace the 670m.
Cheers

Hi, no i dont think it will work on GTX 460M some 1 recently have tried this on their GT70 and all it did is making GTX 460M invisible and undetect able in system so you need at least GTX 670M gpu or so for it to work :/ and by default laptop will allways run off Intel HD graphic card thats from CPU but once you start a game it will change to nvidia one automaticly.
Secondly if this is brand new laptop but cheap price then you should take laptop back to store and have it re-placed asap since then you have the rights to have it exchanged, secondly all laptops under vaild Warranty shall be upgraded and repaired by MSI Service otherwise if you do it yourself and in breaks the warranty will be voided and you will be charged for repair cost at MSI Service.
And not least but last, if you do changes yourself and it works but in future it breaks or so and you send it off as RMA for repair then MSI Service center will reject the warranty request as well since they will find a part that does not match original component in laptop which then will void warranty as well, thats why all jobb shall be done by msi service so they can note down jobb and register product that we did repair and that warranty shall not be voided.

Battery issue and warranty question

I bought my macbook pro in Dec 2007 and really love it. Fancy interface, easy usage. And after almost a year in Nov 2008, my battery went bad. Only last for 45 minutes, I check my serial and it said I'm still under warranty so I went to the nearest apple store which is in Glendale Galleria and got a free replacement battery without any problem.
Things went well until now, my macbook pro appeared to be shutdown automatically within 10 minutes of usage eventhough I still have like 90% left. I tried everything but still.
My question is, will I get a free replacement battery again ? I know that my warranty is over, but this battery I got from last Nov, so it is not even a year old. Will it work out or I have to buy a new battery ?

Unfortunately there's no one here that can answer that question. This is a user-to-user discussion forum. As all service issues are handled on a case-by-case basis by Apple there are two people that can assist you further:
1.) The agent that picks up the phone when you call (800) APL-CARE
2.) The Genius at the Apple Retail Store that sees you for your appointment
That's the next step at this point, we can speculate here till we're blue in the face.

Minor ThinkPad issues and some questions

What I'm using
IBM ThinkPad R40
Pentium-M 1.4Ghz (Banias)
Mobility Radeon 7500 with 32MB RAM
512MB RAM
Hitachi DVD-ROM/CD-burner combo
PCMICA Gigabit Ethernet card using Realtek r8139 chip (as the onboard one is broke)
Hitachi 40GB 4200rpm HDD
I don't use wireless.
How's Arch installed? (details)
I've used the "base" install CD of the recently released 2007.05 "Duke". I basically took all the default suggestions in regards to partitions (as I'm testing an install process that works best on this ThinkPad).
For the power saving bits:
I installed acpid, powernowd, and powersave.
As well, from the "unsupported" AUR: kpowersave (0.7.x one) and kima.
For the kernel, its the default one but recompiled with resume as one of the HOOKS. Other than that, no other changes were made.
In /etc/rc.conf,
for the MODULES section, I've added: speedstep_centrino and ibm_acpi
for the DAEMONS section, I've added: acpid, powernowd, and powersaved
In /etc/rc.local,
I added: echo enable,0xffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
In /etc/modprobe.conf,
I added: options ibm_acpi experimental=1
For some reason the swap partition was never activated, so this is necessary: mkswap /dev/sda2
(Is that a bug in the 2007.05 release?)
For Suspend-to-Disk to work, I had to add the following in /boot/grub/menu.lst
On the line that starts with kernel, I added: resume=/dev/sda2
I got everything I needed to work.
(Everything that mattered to me)
This includes the ThinkPad Fn+keys (F3, F4, and F12), and the two grey keys for Forward and Back in KDE and Firefox. (ThinkPad owners will know these F19 and F20 key through xmodmap). Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk works. Dynamic CPU throttling works. Manually setting the CPU speed works as well (via kpowersave). Through kima KDE applet, I can view CPU speed, uptime and temp on the taskbar.
What's the problem? (and questions)
But not everything is perfect...
(1) When I do Suspend-to-Disk OR when I shutdown the system, the hard disk does NOT shutdown properly (like it was in Windows or my old install of Arch Linux). Instead of a normal cricket sound of the HDD head parking, I get the same sound as if I pushed the power button (no battery installed) while its on. A high-pitched shutdown.
This results in Arch booting up occasionally with a message about HDD not properly shutting down and needing to force a check. This is obviously bad from a data integrity and HDD perspective.
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you resolve this issue?
(2) Once I finished testing Suspend-to-RAM, I check dmesg. I get some lines referring to a problem with the USB ports:
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on Port 3
(happens on Port 1 and 4 as well).
Anybody have an idea what its complaining about? Should I ignore it?
(I don't have any USB devices plugged in)
Other questions?
(3) I previous installed Arch Linux 0.72 with hibernate-script and the kernel26beyond kernel without the two issues as noted previously. Since the "Beyond" kernel is no longer being maintained, Is it OK to use the recently released default kernel with hibernate-script? Will it work?
(4) If I use the hibernate-script approach to Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk, what applet or app does on use in KDE to allow you to set the desired speed or power scheme? (I like how kpowersave does things, but that reads off powersave)
As you can see, I almost have my Thinkpad working the way I want it with Arch Linux. There's just a few niggles that need to be resolved. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

Well, I tried both approaches: Kernel with Suspend2 and the regular Kernel (2.6.21.3-1)
Both suffer the same HDD issue, but under slightly different scenarios.
They both will get the problem when you suspend to disk (call it STD from now on). But if you enable "RediSafe-like" function on the Suspend2 side, the HDD problem doesn't occur. It shuts down perfectly. However, when I resume back from STD, I lose all IBM button functionality. When I go to shutdown, the HDD problem appears.
With the regular Kernel, the HDD shutdown issue happens regardless if I STD or shutdown the system.
Either way, I'll disable STD use for now. At least until Arch's regular kernel and Suspend2 one moves to 2.6.22 Kernel. So it IS a Kernel related issue.
Here's how I did the Fn keys for my ThinkPad R40 (Pentium-M 1.4Ghz with Mobility Radeon 7500)
In /etc/acpi/events, I created the following files with their respective contents using Suspend2 for STD.
Please note: I don't have wireless on this notebook, that's why you won't see a Fn-F5 one.
Fn-F3 (Turn off and on display backlight. or Blank screen)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001003
action=/etc/acpi/events/backlight.sh
backlight.sh (You will need radeontool from the AUR. Be sure to make this executable. ie: chmod +x backlight.sh)
#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /tmp/backlightoff ]
then
radeontool light on
rm /tmp/backlightoff
else
radeontool light off
touch /tmp/backlightoff
fi
Press Fn-F3 to blank screen. Press Fn-F3 again to get out of it.
Fn-F4 (Suspend to RAM)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
action=echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
Fn-F7 (Switches between VGA and your notebook's display. I haven't tested this, but its what I got form the ibm_acpi README!)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007
action=echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
Fn-F12 (Need sudo and add your user into the wheel as well as an entry into /etc/sudoers.)
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000100c
action=sudo hibernate
lid (Causes same function as Fn-F4. That is, Suspend to RAM)
event=button/lid
action=echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
As mention the problem with the above, is once I resume from STD with Suspend2 Kernel, I lose their functionality.
Maybe I should be changing handler.sh in /etc/acpi instead of adding stuff to events?

Send Email issue and triggers question

I don't think this question is really language-specific. I have a form on a page that doesn't have any transactions on it, but I just want to send an email using the form fields for the message body. Well, when I tried to use a "send email" server behavior, it said that I didn't have any transactions on the page. How can I work around this? I already tried insert a "custom transaction" that basically does nothing. By doing this, I could then insert a "send email" server behavior, but it's not working. There has to be a way to do this...??? Has anybody had any luck with this?

Thank you for this link - I will look into it later today. What a shame that Adobe didn't think about the "possibility" of someone wanting to send an email WITHOUT inserting records into a database first. I am extremely unhappy with Adobe right now. I've just recently learned that they are "dumping" ADDT. First of all, they charge an arm and a leg for the product, give you no real support, and now they are dumping it. Plus, I've been waiting ONE MONTH for a call back for an elevated support issue that is still unresolved. Adobe never should have purchased Macromedia. They are in way over their heads.

Two issues and a question with flash video

I am trying to create a film module template but have some issue below as well as a question
A video's sound continues to play after navigating to another frame.
My video cue buttons do not play or work after the video has played through one complete time
Is it possible to make a button appear only after a video has played all the way through?
here is some of the code and I have attached the files, thanks for looking
stop();
import flash.events.*;
import fl.video.*;
function cuePointHandler( event:MetadataEvent ):void
    // On cuePoint, look for a button named with the cue name
    // plus "_btn". If it exists, then call its select method...
    navigate(event.info.name, false);
display.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cuePointHandler);
// Navigation / screen state
// Store the current button name
var currentBtn:*;
var currentBtnName:String = "";
function navigate( cueName:String, seekTo:Boolean ):void
    // Handle previous button
    var prev = getChildByName(currentBtnName);
    if( prev != null ){
        currentBtn.reset();
    // Handle new button
    var next = getChildByName(cueName+"_btn");
    if( next != null ){
        currentBtn = next;
        currentBtn.select();
        currentBtnName = cueName+"_btn";
    // Seek to Cue Name
    if( seekTo == true ){
        var c = display.findCuePoint(cueName);
        if( c != null ){
            display.seekSeconds(c.time);
// Button event handling
// Cue point 1_btn
function cpt1Handler( event:MouseEvent ):void
    navigate("cpoint1", true);
cpt1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cpt1Handler);
// Cue point 2_btn
function cpt2Handler( event:MouseEvent ):void
    navigate("cpoint2", true);
cpt2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cpt2Handler);
// Cue point 3_btn
function cpt3Handler( event:MouseEvent ):void
    navigate("cpoint3", true);
cpt3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cpt3Handler);
// Cue point 4_btn
function cpt4Handler( event:MouseEvent ):void
    navigate("cpoint4", true);
cpt4_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cpt4Handler);
// Cue point 5_btn
function cpt5Handler( event:MouseEvent ):void
    navigate("cpoint5", true);
cpt5_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cpt5Handler);

My navigation buttons advance the page to other frames set up to look like different
'slides" for students to read and watch different video clips on. The video sound is still playing from one frame when it goes to the next frame.
So I need to know how to stop the video's sound from playing when the user advances to the next slide.

Strange graphical issues and system shutdowns

Hi, glad I can type this message before my computer crashes...it's an early 2011 MBP with a dual SSD/HDD (optical drive removed) in installed myself but have had no issues for years. Until today.
I've been having a very strange problem lately that seems to have occurred spontaneously. Basically, sometimes the machine will just freeze mid process, leaving the screen still (might be able to move the mouse around). Other times, the screen will go completely white. In other cases, the left half the screen will be split and will be rendered on the right half, and the right half will be split and rendered on the left. If I plug a monitor in, it will sometimes crash or it even strobed for a while. In each of these cases, I have to hold the power button to reset the computer. And then after this, sometimes it won't boot and I have to repeat power off and on.
This problem also occurs on the windows bootcamp side. Same rendering issue, pictured below.
If it sound like I'm saying "sometimes" a lot, it's because it's hard to predict what's causing it. Seems very spontaneous. But I think it might be a graphics card overheating issue, although I did just play 2 hours of a detailed first person shooter and it wasn't a problem.
I did upgrade my RAM a few weeks back, but it's not the issue because I tried reinstalling the old pair and same thing happens. Maybe I fudged something up in that process? But I really didn't touch anything and I;ve done upgrades many times.
Anyone have any thoughts or methods to diagnose? Thanks.

Graphics card and ram question

I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite L305D and i am trying to play arma 2 on it. But whenever i try to play the game is very slow and laggy. Is this due to my graphics card or ram? The gameplay is just very laggy. I need some help because i dont know what to upgrade in order to make this laptop a better gaming laptop even though it is not intended to be a gaming laptop. What things do i need for me to make it a gaming laptop? Better graphics card? more ram? better processor? Please help!!!

Hi there! The only thing you can really upgrade is the RAM on the notebook.

X61s: Power Management issues and related questions

1) My problems started when I upgraded to PM 3.5: system instability, overheating, and battery run-down. I finally eliminated PM 3.5 and it is running better, but still seems to be running more hot than before.
2) Question: can I take the battery out when running on AC current?
3) Also, do the batteries for the X61 also fit for the X61s?
Richard

1) download TPfancontrol and check your system temp and fan speed.
2) Yes, but not recommended as the battery acts as a UPS, which prevents your laptop from shutdown if there is an accidental plug pull from the ac socket, or brown out/black out.
3) yes.
