MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues
I am having trouble with my HDMI port on a brand new MSI GT70 2PC-1044US . Whenever I plug my HDMI cable from my notebook to the TV, after a few minutes (5 - 20 minutes), my fan will start reving at around 5k RPMs and sounds like a jet engine. When this happens, according to MSI Dragon Gaming Center tool/monitor, the GPU temp reading hits 255 degrees Celsius, which is clearly a glitch. I used another monitor, msi afterburner, and when this HDMI problem happens, this tool reads a normal 40 degrees Celsius.
Here are the things I have tried so far but the problem keeps reoccurring:
1. Called MSI tech support, sent me the link to the newest BIOS and updated it
2. Called MSI tech support again, claimed the HDMI is controlled by the intel graphic controller, and they recommended that i update intel drivers (every software tool on my notebook says it's the NVIDIA GPU that controls the HDMI port /shrug???), so i did this as well.
3. Called MSI teck support again, they suggested I send the notebook back to MSI so they could take a look at the hardware. I did not do this because I did not trust the tech guy and did not want to wait a few weeks to get my notebook back
4. Luckily, the store I bought my notebook at was nice enough to replace my notebook for a new one. I got home, tested it, and the same thing happened. So I think we eliminated faulty hardware.
So now what? What else can I try?

have you done EC reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
can you try to plug the HDMI into your dell screen[insteal of sharp TV] to check if the same issue will hapends?
Install latest Intel GPU drivers from: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics
then retest
-Yes, I did the full EC reset. Once the EC flash was done, I removed the power cord from the back and the battery and let it sit for a few minutes before restarting.
- My Dell monitor is old, and does not have an HDMI port, but I will try a different cable on a different TV.
-I already have the most recent intel graphic controller drivers, this one of the things the MSI tech support guys asked me to do by phone

Downloading podcasts and limited connectivity

Has anyone else noticed a problem with their internet connection dropping to limited connectivity when you try to download podcasts?

It only happens when you try and download more than 1 podcast - if its just 1 downloading there are no issues but its frustrating as Im having to do them all individually rather than queuing them. The simultaneous downloads box is ticked by the way.

GT70 2PC – Software testing and performance report.

It is so excited here again. Currently, my first/only object after work is playing Titanfall.
I intended to share another performance testing today. But I didn’t. I found there are too many great open box posts on different forums. Therefore, I decide to dig the MSI software compatibility and do a touring. What can I say? I’m Mr.Curiosity who really desires to know every built-in application in system. That is why I share this article with you, my friends. I would like to discuss with everybody who is interested in MSI software. Of course, I have some performance reports for you, too. Please also remind me if you find any typo/wrong in this post. Thanks in advance.
1. MSI Boot Configure
This is the first software which pops up immediately. It is thoughtful design because we can choose enter the [Windows 8.1 metro] or [desktop] by ourselves now. I give it two thumbs up!!!
Select your favorite boot configuration and press [OK]. If we want it work immdiately, we can logout the system and re-login again.
2.   MSI Remind Manager
Honestly, I didn’t know what it is in the beginning. The cute robot shows every time when I login the system. I found this is a reminder for product registration. Good, I would like to have best MSI support and warranty for my lovely GT70 2PC. But don’t worry, if you don’t want to get this message again, you just need to select the right option and close it.
3.   Synaptics TouchPad
This is a driver for mouse. [Mouse property] will show if we do the double clicks on TouchPad icon in tray. You can choose enable/disable internal pointing device when external pointing device is attached. This is brilliant. A tough guy (like me…HA! HA!) didn’t like to play game with touchpad. Because the character in game will be weak and slow if I control it by touchpad. Of course, I need the external mouse all the time and don’t want the interference from touchpad.
4.   System Control Manager (SCM)
We can enable/disable the WLAN/BT/camera devices by SCM. Besides, it can control the display brightness, volume, screen on/off and ECO. ECO is special mode for gaming watching movie.
5.   Sound Blaster CINEMA
Sound Blaster CINEMA is come from an old school audio company – CREATIVE. The software can adjust the surround sound easily. We also can adjust 5.1/7.1 surround sound for the internal speakers and external headphone. That is great, isn’t it?
Besides, we can also adjust CRYSTALIZER/BASS/SMART VOLUME/digital output by ourselves.
6.   Killer Network Manager
This is a major feature of MSI NB.
In Killer Network Manager, we can set the network priority for each of applications and we also can abandon the connection from malicious software.
[Performance] shows current status of network. We can find out which application occupied the most greedy resources by it.
[Network -> Test Network Speed] will detect the network environment automatically. Furthermore, it will adjust the priority for applications.
[Killer Ethernet] show the LAN connection info.
[Killer Wireless] show the router info.
7.   SteelSeries Engine
This is another major feature of MSI NB
If we do the right click on icon in tray, the menu will show following list. We can select [Launch SteelSeries Firmware Update Tool], [Updates]…and so on.
If we select the [Settings]. It can help us change default language and set application auto running when system power on.
I.   Buttons
Double click to open the SteelSeries Engine. I think it can set 4 different keyboard settings for each of profiles. And it can switch by FN+1~4.
[Keypress Marc] can record what you input. And [Record Delays ] can modify the delay time. HA! No game can block us anymore. Please remember to press the [SAVE] for your setting
[Launch Application] can launch any application immediately. I suggest to set the cold key for this function.
Here is example. I use [PgUp] to quick start the 3D Mark11. See, it will pop up when I pressed [PgUp].
It is simple to use [TextMarco] set our own phrase. Now I become a quick speaker in my team. One key, only one key can help me to type a lot of words.
Are you tired to press some keys that you never want to touch in game (Like WIN KEY)? It is not the problem now. [Disable Key] will do the favor and disable any key which you hate.
II.   [Colors] can change the color of backlight keyboard. Also, you can set different modes (Gaming/Audio…etc) on it.
We can change the color zone. There is not only 4 or 5 colors. The engine provides thousands of colors for us. [Audio mode] is the coolest. It will change colors by itself when we play music by speakers. I like to dance with my keyboard.
III.   We can select different languages by [Settings].
IV.   [Properties] can save our hard works of settings reliably.
V.   If you want to defeat your competitors, it is important to know your enemy. However, It is more important to know yourself. [Statistics] can help us observe which keys are most popular by our fingers.
Right click on [Profile]. It can modify/export/import/delete the profiles.
Mouse can use the same kind of settings as keyboard.
DPI setting for mouse.
Save files.
We can record the mouse, too.
8.   Norton
Norton Internet Security: Anti-Virus software, MSI provides 60 days for free.
Norton Online Backup: Online data backup software, MSI provides 30 days for free.
Norton Anti-Theft: Anti-Theft software, MSI provides 30 days for free.
If you like Norton’s products, you can buy it online.
If you don’t, I believe we can uninstall it directly.
So, the decision is ours.
Introduction from Norton official website
9.   Dragon Gaming Center
I.   System Monitor:
It can monitor CPU/GPU loading and temperature. We also can find the network speed and fan speed in it.
II.   Utility:
You can set your favorite apps in [Add new Utility].
E.g. I added a [MSI Afterburner]. Click [Open] to build the link. Do you feel familiar with something? Exactly, [Launch Application] of [SteelSeries Engine] can do this, too.
III.   Instant Play:
We can define [Fn+F4] to enable the quick start. But there is more secret.
We can also use [Browse] to assign the game which we want.
Click the icon of game and [Fn+F4] will be ready. We can only use 1 program at once.
I usually change the brightness, volume and mouse sensitive before the game. As you know, every games are different. It is sweet because we can use [Apply Setting] to do this.
I can’t believe it. We also can find the clock feature in it. How convenient it is!
IV.   Hybrid Power is another MSI feature.
It can provide the power by AC adapter and battery in the same time. We can monitor the status in here.
10. BurnRecovery
It can create the recovery CD/DVD/USB for MSI NB.
Here can select Recovery disc/USB/ISO.
I will make a ISO file first.
We can select where to put the ISO.
Creating the recovery file...
Finish!
Open the folder and we can find 4 ISO files in it.
Well…[BurnRecovery Help] provide the details spec.
In my opinion, everyone should create their own recovery image. You will need it in one day.
11. Battery Calibration
This is software for battery calibration. In order to keep our battery good, we should do the calibration every three months. Don’t forget to plug-in the AC adapter and battery during the process..
Press [Start] to begin the process. It will make the battery fully charged first.
Then, it will empty the battery like this.
System will shut down after the empty process. At last, fully charged again. It will take 4~5 hrs to complete the process.
12. MSI Dragoon Army /MSI Facebook /Web site /YouTube
Those are MSI forums/Facebook/official website/YouTube and links.
[MSI Dragoon Army] is the official forum for MSI. We can find NB, MB and AIO info in it.
Facebook Quick Link for many countries of world.
MSI official website
YouTube channel of MSI.
13. Super-Charger
There is no message when I click this app at the first time. But when I attached my IPAD, it pops up the [Super-Charger]. It is amazing because IPAD can’t be charge by this USB port. As far as I know, the USB 3.0 only provides maximum 900mA for its device. IPAD will need 2.1A for charge process. I have no idea how MSI NB make IPAD charging okay.
14. XSplit GameCaster
This is one of important features. I saw many different first class gaming machines this year. All of them have the broadcast software. (Like PS4, Xbos ONE)
It can switch the default language after we login.
Twitch/YouTube / Facebook/ Twitter/Google+ can be used by [Accounts]. It is easy to start the live show.
We can modify the resolution and use twitch by [Setting]
We can configure FPS/CPU loading/where to show on display by [Status label].
Hotkey configuration.
Videos storage.
Press [Ctrl+Tab] to call Gamecaster in game. And we can twitch or modify setting. I will provide my gaming video for you later.
15. Power DVD
This is a famous video player. Also, it can support BD format.
We can use the [Setting] to change our language.
We can change 5 times for default country .
It is glad that I’ve finished the introduction of GT70 software.

ACE Module and Limiting Connections

We currently use the ACE module to Load-balancing IPSEC connection into SPA's. Since the SPA's only support 60 new connections per second. I was looking for a way to limit the amount of connecitons from the ACE to the SPA's.

Hello,
Have a look at the Configuring Real Server Rate Limiting section of the ACE documentation. I think this will meet your needs.
Hope this helps,

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US Dominator Bios Update

Hello,
Sorry if this post should be in a different thread. Currently I have the 2PC-1044 Dominator with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed (AHCI), and I would like to know if there is a Bios upgrade available. The support downloads section does not list the correct version for me to download (Win7 x64). Also, is it ok for me to install Firmware 1763EMS1.517 and vBIOS 80.04.F7.00.06 without damaging/formatting the OS?
Below are the current versions of my system
Bios: E1763IMS.50R
EC Firmware: 1763EMS1 Ver5.10
vBIOS (from Nvidia CP System Info): 80.04.EA.00.02
Thanks

Read below information first before doing update. On top of that, if you need BIOS update, flash to version 50V first.

GT70 2PC-1467US Dominator and USB 3.0

Hi, recently I purchased a this MSI laptop, and have had issues with the Intel eXtensible Host Controller 3.0 hardware and drivers it seems.
My external usb 3.0 HDD randomly disconnects,
~No other peripherals seem to be affected other than the exHDD.
~The exHDD works fine with USB 3.0 Ports on a handful of other PCs
~Here is a Microsoft topic explaining my issue h t t p : / / tinyurl.com/n2vzpa5
My question is this, the company I bought this from says its an isolated issue, the internet shows its exactly the opposite. They agreed to give me store credit and replace the laptop with whatever I want.
I would rather not drive 900KM to the store to replace it if it truly is a driver issue, and like will be resolved, il just keep it and be patient.
However if it is a hardware issue like they claim, and isolated. There is no way I will get another MSI laptop. (its not personal, the killer nic is a nightmare issue as well).
Anyone have some insight on this topic? I searched but didnt find much on this. But its all over the internet with various other brands and devices using intels 3.0 hardware.

Quote from: dave.ness.3745 on 26-June-14, 02:14:15
This is a driver issue with intels 3.0 driver and new haswelll CPUs.
Not hardware.
1. You should probably investigate the issue before you make assumptions.
2. It's obvious from your first, and last post, that you don't understand the Haswell USB 3.0 issue at all, and just assume that because you HEARD there was a USB3.0 issue, that it's the problem you're having.
I again suggest what I previously suggested. The issue is NOT with the Haswell CPU, chipset, or USB3.0 driver. How do I know this? Because the USB3.0 issue you speak of only occurs when waking from S3 sleep....NOT all the time as you describe.
If you don't want to answer the questions or try anything else, that's certainly an option. But most likely you will not get any support from anyone else on the issue without providing more information or at the very least trying some of the suggestions.

Request: Msi GT70-2PC 1044us unlocked bios

Title says it all. Been looking for one of those puppies and landed on this forum. So i don't know how much of a donation is required, but ill make sure to make it worthwhile.
Also, would verymuch love to get ahold of svet's vbios tuner util. Same again, i'll make it worthwhile!
Thanks in advance!
Btw. I can't seem to find any official downloads for my laptop. Support page only links me to a single utility download. Where did i miss something?
Edit: seems my current bios version is E1763IMS.50R I cant find anything more recent.

check PM for details

New FIOS customer with dropped VOIP calls and Internet connection

I am a new FIOS customer. Got my 50/25 connection a week ago, switching from a TWC 6/1 connection. Ever since the new connection, I've had numerous issues.
My VOIP (Ooma) connection constantly drops and re-connects during conversations
I've had random Internet connection losses, which picks up again after a few minutes
My home alarm starts chirping every once in a while
I've contacted Verizon several times due to these problems and have received varying answers with no resolution of the problem.
The first time I spoke with support, the tech logged into my router and changed the WiFi channel saying that would fix the problem. It didn’t.
The second time I contacted them, the tech ran a bunch of diagnostics and said everything looked fine so it must be an IP address conflict with my devices, because I had a couple devices using static IP addresses. He said everythinf should be DHCP and the last two digits could not be higher than 99 (192.168.1.99). He said FIOS does not support 3-digit numbers at the end.
So I changed all my devices to DHCP and ran some online VOIP tests. It showed a packet loss of 2-5% and MOS score of 1 (which is bad). I was still getting dropped connections, so I disconnected all devices and connected just one computer to the router and tested again. I was still getting packet loss.
Then I called support a third time, this time the tech said there were no 2-digit IP restrictions and that he was detecting there was no UPS baterry backup for the ONT which was probably causing the problem, so he dispatched a field tech to my house.
Today the field tech came (same guy as before), he took one look at the box and said it was too close to my Electric meter and the RF from the meter was causing interference to the FIOS connection and resulting in dropped connection.
He moved the ONT to another location and said that should fix it.
Well, I'm still seeing packet loss and low MOS score when I run the VOIP test.
I don't know how much of what the techs are saying is true and how much is made up stuff.
Has anyone had similar issues and have thoughts on solutions or likely causes for dropped VOIP calls and connections? Could RF be causing this?
I thought going from a 6/1 Cable connection to a 50/25 FIOS connection would be awesome, but this has turned out to be a nightmare, and I may have to switch back to cable if the problem is not resolved.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Don't know where the packet loss is happening. I ran the VOIP test on myspeed.visualware.com and it shows a packet loss of 2-5% at different times and a MOS score of 1.
The report says MOS should be around 4 for good VOIP calls.
The Verizon tech who came to the house just blamed the electric meter box for RF interference and move the ONT farther away.
My concern is that I'm getting different answers from different techs at Verizon.
Regarding IP addresses. The Router shows a DHCP range from 192.162.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 as available for devices on the network. So, if I need to assign a static IP to a device should I use a number below 99 or above 151?
Thanks!

Lenovo G505 Wifi Problems - Limited Connection, No Connection, and Dropped Connections

Some forum members have reported a variety of Wifi issues with their G505 laptops. Their reports range from showing "Connection is limited", to Wifi connections dropping repeatedly, to being unable to make a Wifi connection at all. I combined multiple threads in order to assist forum members with troubleshooting solutions.
If your G505 was upgraded to Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and then lost connectivity, or you recently purchased a G505 running Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and are unable to connect, try following the instructions posted by Vikramsbox to restore the connection through the Lenovo Communications Utility.
For non-Windows 8.0 or 8.1 users, start troubleshooting with the basics:
The most recent WLAN, BIOS, and Power Management drivers from Lenovo can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g505-no...
It is also good practice to verify your Wifi is activated by following the instructions from Neokenchi.
Check Power Management settings to ensure your laptop isn't turning off the Wifi as noted by Dannyk1.
Check to see that Airplane Mode is set to OFF by following the instructions provided by Shiv_K.
After trying those steps, if you still experience a Wifi issue with your G505, other troubleshooting steps have been noted in this thread. This includes a whitelist of accepted replacement WLAN cards posted by Topmahof and a 3rd party driver which resolved wifi issues for Miila and Jessemck125. Please note that while Lenovo does not support 3rd part drivers, it may be an option to consider if your laptop is out of warranty and none of the suggestions in the thread resolve the issue.

First computer was a 1980 Commodore 64 from Radio Shack/ GEnie SFRT member from 1993-1996

First is to update your Atheros/Broadcom driver for your G505 here:http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wlan117w8.exe
From what I understand, the situation is that you get limited connectivity while your other devices that are connected to the router gets uninterrupted internet access.
After updating your drivers, you can try to flush your DNS cache by copy and pasting this code to your notepad and saving it as FlushDNS.bat
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
Note that this will restart your computer so make sure to save your session first.
Here's the link that explains the benefit of flushing DNS: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/144365-network-posting-tips.html

Connection of PLEK400 Drops and All Lights Go Dark

My computer is in my bedroom on the second floor, while my router is on the first. From the moment I got my computer I've had problems with the wireless connection (As in it NEVER worked), so I bought a Belkin Wi-FI extender that worked nicely for about a year. It was a done deal and all was fine, until a few weeks ago when it went bad and I had to get rid of it. As wireless still didn't work (I'm really assuming it has to do with the connection to my computer from the router being too weak, as I have a crappy router-and-modem-in-one device which was provided by my ISP (Windstream)), I decided I needed another network extender. After lots of research, I set my sights on the PLEK400 which I then purchased along with some generic ethernet cables from Staples. I plugged one into the wall downstairs with an ethernet cable running from it to the router, and plugged another one into the wall close to my PC with an ethernet cable connecting the PL unit to the PC. The connection established, and I was overjoyed that my PC finally had Internet after those few Internet-less weeks. However, after browsing the Internet for a while, I went to open a new tab, and for some reason, I got the error err_network_changed (My browser is Google Chrome). I looked down at the PL unit and all of the lights were dark, none of them lit. After refreshing the error page a few times, it righted itself, the page loaded, and the two lights were flashing with the power one a solid green, like normal. Strange, I thought. However, this problem has begun to occur every 5 to 10 minutes. This would not be an issue, however, I am a gamer, so when I am Skyping my friends and playing online and the call drops and I have to disconnect every 5 - 10 minutes, I become very agitated. vv IMPORTANT? vvOur house is very old, so the entire thing is on the same breaker, so I know it's not that. I've heard that when there is a lot of electrical noise in an outlet (Many things connected to it), that can cause problems, so I'm going to state for the record that the powerstrip on which my entire PC setup operates and my upstairs PL unit are plugged into the same traditional two-plug outlet. (Don't know whether that may be a problem or not.)^^ IMPORTANT? ^^ I would really like to get these working or send them back as the entire setup (PLEK400 and ethernet cables) cost me about $60 - $70, and as a teen, that's a bit of money to me. Fast response is greatly appreciated by anyone who has any solutions to offer. I will be checking this post frequently throughout the night and following days for anyone who has anything to offer. If this is a product limitation and there is no way to fix it, PLEASE JUST TELL ME SO. I prefer to return everything and seek alternate solutions than wait too long for a solution that may never come to the point where I can no longer return anything and I am out $60 - $70. TL;DR: Lights on PL unit go dark, no internet for a minute or two, lights come back on, internet works again. Happens every 5 - 10 minutes. All replys are great, fast ones, especially so. As previously stated, any help is appreciated!!!! Thanks so much in advance, --Edwin

If you say that all lights go dark (including the power light), it means that the device itself is power cycling which is not a good thing. If it was just the power line light or the ethernet light, it would have been normal since that indicates disconnection, but if it's the power light, that's a different story. Does this only happen if you are using the internet or does it act the same way even on standby? Press and hold the reset button of the device for 10 seconds using a pen or a paper-clip and powercycle the unit. It will also help isolate the situation if you try a different power source. BTW, have you tried checking if the 1 port PLE switch is acting the same way?

Satellite L50Dt-A: WLan drops out or shows "limited" connection

My wireless internet connection is was fine until last week - now it regularly drops out or shows "limited" connection.
Other computers including an ipad and printer are on the same connection but are not experiencing the same problems as my new Toshiba
Can anyone assist please?

Hi
What windows system do you have?
Did you update the system probably from Win 8 to Win 8.1?
Did you try to update the Wlan driver?
If not do that!
Mostly such symptoms could be solved by new WLan driver reinstallation or update.

MSI GT70 2PC Dominator Wifi Dropping

Hi there, new user here, first of all I have already read the existing post regarding wifi drops and fixes. To clarify, below are the steps that I have taken as per suggestions that i found on the net:
1. Uninstalled the Killer Gaming Network manager program and only using the wifi/lan drivers.
2. Re installed updated killer gaming network manager and drivers from both MSI and Killer websites.
3. Change the maximize the power saving mode in the battery section for wireless adapter.
4. Unable the power management settings in the network wireless via network and sharing centre.
5. Use several different drivers via the update drivers window in network adapter (via device manager)
- ive used the standard killer n1202 drivers.
- ive used the qualcomm atheros wireless network adapter (both microsoft and qualcomm)
- currently using the qualcomm atheros ar9462 802.11a/b/g/n wifi adapter
These are the steps that i've taken, one of the many that i can remember doing at the moment. Still to this day my wifi issue persist.
I refuse to believe that this is a hardware issue because the current GT70 that i am using is a brand new laptop that MSI has given me after I RMAed my earlier GT70. So you can say this is the 2nd laptop they've provided to me after making a hell lot of noise to them because my first GT70 had an unknown issue 1 week after light usage.
I've ran out of ideas on what to do, i've been sucking this up for the past 3-4 months as i cant find a fix. I've done everything i can except updating the bios, which i was advised not to since I do not know how to flash or update my bios (whichever term you call it).
My wifi drops so often and I keep having to flush my dns (using ipconfig /flushdns) every 30 mins or so just to able to use the net, much less play any games.
So i was wondering if there was any steps that I missed? Im really in desperate need for help as i no longer know what to do.
I appreciate any help that you guys can provide. Thank you very much!

Just a quick update on my wifi after installing two different 'realtek drivers' from the MSI website.
It's still too early to tell, I will update further once i start gaming.
Just incase you guys wanna install the drivers, proceed to this link:
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64
Download this two files:
Realtek Audio Drivers (222.21MB)
Realtek Cardreader RTS5227-GR & RTS5249-GR (10.3MB)
PS: I downloaded the audio drivers just cause it had the name realtek in there lul!
Keep me posted!
UPDATE
After 2 hours of gaming and surfing the web, i didn't had to constantly flush my dns. Although my wifi bar alternates between 4 and 5 bars, im guessing this is normal (as the wireless modem isn't in my room but the room opposite mine).
So far so good, is it a coincidence? I am not too sure, give me a few more days of test run and it'll be more conclusive. I say you guys should update your drivers, no harm in trying right?

Connection keeps dropping and speed is getting slo...

Hi,
I have had infinity over a week now and after having a speed of 50M and a ping of 17 each day it has dropped and is now iro 34M and ping of 37. What is of more concern is my connection is keeps dropping. Has happened every day - DSL light going off on Infinity box and homehub. I did a speed check on BT wholesale and it seems my ip profile has been dropped down to 36M.
I am connecting wireless and have tried a different channels, tried using DNS even tried a new HH3 as I had a spare. But as yet no improvement. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You could have a fault, to check do the following.
1. Visit this link https://www.bt.com/consumerFaultTracking/secure/faults/tracking.do;jsessionid=2W59QB2TvDGLZST41KJS2T...
2. Make an account with your BT Account number, this is different to your forum account.
3. Once the account is created re-visit the link from instruction #1 and login
4. Now you want to click on "Check my line now"
5. You should see your telephone number in a box, make sure that box is ticked if not enter your number.
6. Click on "Check my line" once step 5 has been completed
7. Make sure the details are correct, select the most relavant problem to you. I find the most common is the top selection "I've removed all equipment...."
8. Finally, Click "Check my line" **MAKE SURE NO ONE IS USING THE PHONE** Once completed, post the results contact a mod if a fault is found.
