GT70 2PE DOM

Hey all, hoping to get some input on my new Laptop and some issues I'm having
Bought the 2PE Dominator Pro 1040US a few weeks ago (great Unit) it comes installed with win 8.1
But since day 1 I've had the dreaded TDR when playing games
Usually its about an hour or so into the game when it happens, game will bottom out FPS, sound will distort and crackle, and then either I'll get a CTD with the TDR , or I manually exit the game, and will get a series of TDR at desktop, before the system evens out and resumes. I don't get a BSOD, and my temps seem to be within range
Dragon gaming app  reads 60C proc at load in game, and 72C Vid at load in game
Afterburner reads 71-73C Vid at load in game,
Those temps seem ok to me,
I always turn on Boost before I play a game, and the fans speed up no problem
Event viewer shows the ever helpful Event ID 14: NVLDDMKM
some things I've tried have been updating the vid card driver to the latest Beta 337.50 (using DDU)
I've set Nvidia power to be Performance instead of adaptive
I've disabled all the Killer Lan apps and programs
I've set windows power to performance
Cooling mat, A/C adapter w/ battery
Set to use Nvidia card
I'm sure I've done other things I've probably forgot to mention, but It'll come to me
Surfing the MSI site isn't very helpful as the laptop doesn't have anything posted yet in the downloads section
I've had Nvidia for awhile, so I get that their drivers can be unstable,
I'm not sure what to make of it, regular desktop use seems unaffected, and games aren't displaying any other odd symptoms, (No artifacts, checkers etc) and as I mentioned games run Fantastic until the TDR events. If I quit and restart application BEFORE the one-ish hour TDR, system works fine for another hour
I hear people say its Dragon gaming center, Killer LAN, or any of the other MSI apps that come installed and compatibility issues with 8.1, Or that its drivers, or Faulty Card etc.
If any one has any other suggestions to try, I'm all ears, or if anyone has experienced something similar with another MSI laptop let me know.
anyways, thanks in advance

sorry, used to forums where the TDR phrase is common
TDR stands for Timeout Detection and recovery (Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered)
If you hang out at the NVidia forums a lot you start to use their abbreviations without realising it
I'm in contact with MSI, they asked that I do a BIOS update and Firmware update, both of which I have done
I agree in that I think it might be hardware related
I should mention my GPU is getting to 93C with cooler boost 2 enabled. Not sure how normal this is, but think its quite high for having engaged the Cooler full blast
That is quite high, even for this laptop.
I'd say the card is a dud.

  • GT70 2pe domi pro Change Video Card Possible?

    if post wrong pls move thx
    just want to know is there have chance to change my 880m to 980?omg msi upgrade to fast..i just buy this 5months ago now have 980....so there have a chance to change my GTX 880m to 980?

    As the FAQ page states, MSI doesn't support it.
    Generally, it's said to be a 50/50 chance that it'll work.
    I've considered upgrading my older GT70 0NE to something newer, and I'd probably use a GTX980M. Overall though, I just don't have the cash for it.
    The 980M is a pretty decent upgrade, but even from the 880M it's not that huge. The difference between even my 680M and 780M/880M isn't HUGE enough to warrant actually taking the chance and doing it.
    At that point, I'd probably just consider buying a whole new laptop.
    But in your case, I'd probably just stick to the 880M or whatever you've got. You won't see that huge of an increase by switching except at huge 4k resolutions. I'd probably just pass it up until you need a new laptop.

  • Msi gt70 2PE integrated HD 4600 graphics HDMI port does not appear to work.

    Hi guys,
    I have the GT70 2PE with integrated hd 4600 graphics and with a dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 880m card. The HDMI output does not appear to work.
    I'm tech savvy and cannot figure this out for the life of me. have tried nearly everything.
    lets start from the low level troubleshooting done:
    - plugged in the HDMI cable from a working computer that has HDMI hooked up to it. This did not make a difference from the new cable I bought for hooking up my TV to my laptop.
    - booted the laptop up and do not see a duplicate screen outputting via HDMI, all my video cards in my PC's I've built prior have always shown the HDMI output as a duplicate screen when I had a monitor hooked onto a PC. This makes me believe the HDMI port may be disabled/broken as there is no HDMI output at POST. Only the laptop monitor displays output.
    In Windows 8.1 I've installed the latest 4600 drivers and nvidia 880m beta drivers.(even though installing nvidia drivers shouldn't matter since I've read the HDMI output is tied to the 4600 integrated graphics chip, also if during POST the HDMI output never showed up on my TV, then installing the latest intel graphics drivers shouldn't have made a difference either, which it didnt make a difference).
    I've tried disabling the integrated graphics card then re-enabling it, as noted on the intel forums. - does nothing.
    what I've ruled out:
    -HDMI cable issues = no issues due to other PC's and devices working with the cables. All cable tests are direct connect to the TV, no intermediary devices such as hdmi splitters etc.
    -BIOS has zero options for graphics card options.
    Any ideas before i RMA this laptop? I'm at a loss. 

    OP's problem has been solved.  Also please don't resurrect and do not hijack other people's topics. Open your own one.

  • HDMI Output looks like HS - GT70 2PE

    Dear all,
    Friday I brought a brand new MSI GT70 2PE Dominator Pro, wich is equiped with a GTX880M and an Intel HD 4600.
    Yesterday I tried to connect my laptop to an 24" screen, also brand new. But it did not work. I have tried the screen with another laptop, also via HDMI, everything works fine.
    Here is what I have tried :
    - Update both VGA drivers
    - Update BIOS (With reset EC)
    - Update VBIOS
    - Factory reset
    - Install a non-MSI Windows 8.1 (wich causes me troubles to get my MSI recovery image back aftewards... If someone have the same probleme, PM me )
    - 3 HDMI cables and 2 screens (my new screen and my TV, all set to the correct input)
    - Downgrade the drivers to an older version than factory image
    Nothing works. When I plug the HDMI cable, the power button shows in red for maybe 1 or 2 seconds, and is white again afterwards.
    I am thinking about an HW issue, but if anyone have another idea, you are welcome

    not sure, depend what's the reason for the not loose connection, assume if that's the issue
    try make the HDMI cable to make to do not loose connection,
    when insert the HDMI jack, try move it up/down/left/right gently see if connection can be establish
    i have such issue when connection HDMI to LG TV, it 3 different cables, all has loose connection,
    and they works only in some particular, pushed down. if moved/toched by any direction they start loosing the signal again. i guess its some kind of incompatible between cables and ports which cause to doesn't fits well for good connection

  • MSI GT70 2PE-1620 Recovery problems (no F3 recovery)

    Hi,
    I'm the proud owner of e new MSI GT70 2PE-1620. But now I have some serious problems restoring Windows 8.1 back on it.
    This GT70 has 3 SSD disk, in super RAID 0. For some reason the RAID failed and I to restore the RAID setup again. Which was successful. However my C partition was cleared. Now I have trouble resetting back the GT70 back to the factory setting, because the F3 function during startup does not function. The hidden partition with the MSI recovery files are still there: on the second disk (1 TB disk). I checked using Acronis Disk Manager.
    I tried restoring back with a Windows disk (ISO download from the internet), but then I miss all my MSI tools and drivers. I do not have a MSI recovery CD/DVD disk.
    Please help me to restore this GT70 back to its factory setting.
    Secondly: can somebody tell me what the BIOS settings should be (factory setting) for this GT70. Ex.: should the boottype be UEFI or Legacy?

    I've found a share which might be helpful.
    Try this:
    1. Run the command prompt as administrator.
    2. Type "reagentc /info" and press enter to check the recovery image location and you should see it shows 0 as null.
    3. Type "diskpart" and "list disk" to check your drives.
    4. Select the HDD drive where your hidden partition is locate. Type "select disk X" (X is the disk of you HDD)
    5. Type "list partition" to find your hidden partition. (You'll need the partition name for the recovery directory later.
    6. Type "exit" to exit the diskpart, then enter "reagentc /setosimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk1\partition4\RecoveryImage\ /index 1"
    (*Note: 1. The harddisk1 is the drive name of your HDD, where your hidden is locate. 2. partition4 is the partition name of your hidden partition you read from step5.)
    After setting up, you can use the windows recovery to do the system restore.
    This should be able to help you restore to the factory settings.
    *You can only choose the option to restore your whole system, so please backup all your files before doing the restore.
    Thanks! I will give this a try. I will you know if this worked. One question before I try this:
    Will this help me restore to the SDD disk? The hidden partition with the restore files is on a 1TB disk. Originally drive D: in Windows. The SSD disk should be C:, the boot disk with the OS.
    ** UPDATE:
    I booted using a USB HD with recovery Windows files, and open up the cmd window. It tried, but it can not find or recognize the "reagentc" command. What am I missing?

  • GT70 2PE Dominator Pro increasing static/white noise during different games.

    Hello.
    I'm quite in a predicament here. I have an MSI GT70 2PE Dominator gaming laptop.
    Every time I play a game[doesnt matter which one, ones demanding high specs and also with games that can run on toasters :p ] after a couple of minutes I start hearing this increasing static, white noise coming from my speakers or headset. After a couple of moments it also sort of disables my microphone as well. IE When in in VoiP while playing a game, after the noise increases my mic also stops working.
    I tried everything I could think of. Reinstall drives, format the laptop, all the little advice people give in other threads about this kind of problem. I also sent it into repairs and they said it was fixed but alas it still isnt. I tried using different power adapters and that doesnt seem to make a difference.
    One interesting thing is that when I just play on batter power - no issues at all. As soon as I plug in the adapter - the noise start building up again.
    Anyone has any ideas what might help?

    I have the same laptop and also have the same problem.
    I have not been able to find a solution for it. I think it might be a voltage or heat problem.
    I ended up buying a pair of USB headphones so i could have sound while playing video games. I would recommend you do the same.

  • GT70 2PE Dominator Killer WLAN problem

    Hello everyone.
    I recently bought a GT70 2PE Dominator Pro gaming computer.
    As I grew tired of Windows 8.1 in a few days, I installed Windows 7, 64 instead.
    After having set the BIOS and all that to Legacy, so that I could install and run Windows 7, I ran into problems with the Killer LAN drivers.
    I downloaded all drivers, chipset etc. including the Killer Network Manager from the MSI support page, but the WLAN still isn't working. In the administration of the computer, it can find it OK, but says that it can't start this device.
    I have followed every guide I could find with both trying installing the drivers 'clean', using the KillerCleaner etc., but still nothing works.
    Is there any more help to find?
    Thank you
    Jonas, Denmark

  • MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE (Dominator Pro) - help needed

    If I buy MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE laptop, and if I want to clean install Windows 7 into it (it becomes with Windows 8.1 pre-installed), do I have to configure something, why I ask is that this laptop has 256 Gb SSD MSI Super RAID and I assume that it needs some configuring to get it work like it should. It's not like HDD though.

    No, you shouldn't need to configure anything except changing some settings in the BIOS (set it to boot in Legacy mode), and I would also ensure that you use the MSI Burn Recovery tools to make a recovery DVD(s) or recovery USB, in case you decide to ever go back to Windows 8.

  • MSI GT70 2PE 880m Bus Interface Question

    I recently purchased an MSI GT70 2PE with an nvidia 880m gpu
    The question i have is should the card be running with a bus interface of x4 at all times?
    gpu load when other screenshot was taken:
    The above is a screenshot of gpu-z while running its render test
    the bus interface always reads x4 3.0 even with games such as planetside 2 running at max settings
    I am on the latest nvidia driver and did install the vbios update from msi
    From other forums ive gathered it should be running at x8 when idle but should be reaching x16 when running games or stressing the card?
    If so is there any way to get it to work correctly?
    Edit:
    The only other state i have seen it in is this:
    which is x4 1.1

    Quote from: zipper.sippola on 05-August-14, 02:13:36
    Probably GPU-Z isn't up-to-date with 880M; my 680M is recognized as x16.
    This is probably it. Even though the 880m is a refresh of 780m and has been out a while. There are still plenty of programs and utilities that don't even identify it or know what it is. I'm sure things will get better.
    If you really need/want to know if it is 4x or 16x lanes, then run a game on it with clear documentation of settings for that chip and results on a non multiplayer game. If your laptop isn't running all 16 lanes, then it should run far slower than the rest.

  • MSI GT70 2PE Low FPS in game

    Hi all,
    I just bought a MSI GT70 2PE without OS and installed Windows 8.1 and all drivers downloadable on msi.com.
    I'm getting an ultra low FPS in World of Warcraft , a ten years old game !!!!
    Watch my joined screenshot. Do i have miss something ? Is it really possible to buy a recent notebook with such bad gaming results ??

    Yup that is what I needed, now I know your laptops specs. Seems it runs a GTX 880M which should really have no issues at all running games like world of warcraft. Right, first of all, Did you install all the Chipset drivers and so on from the MSI website and are you using the latest Nvidia Drivers?
    As HCH mentioned, make sure you are running the game on the dedicated graphics card. You can check this easily as the power button will be orange if it is using the Nvidia GPU and White if it is using the Intel Intergrated graphics.
    Also, make sure you are connected to net power when gaming.

  • MSI GT70 2PE 1624XNE Dominator Pro

    Hello.
    I've been waiting for a MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE, for 4 weeks now. And really need a new laptop, since my old gaming is broke. Then i saw a place that have MSI GT70 2PE 1624XNE Dominator Pro in storage. but it only has one 128gb sd.
    Can i put 2 more in it? at raid 0, so i have 384gb on my c: or do i need some ekstra parts beside the ssd storage to do that? or what is posible to do?
    Hope someone can help me, really need a new computer.

    The mSATA to SATA adapter should be bundled in the unit since you already have one SSD.
    If so, then you can add two SSDs on the adapter which already has three mSATA ports.
    You can confirm with the local store about the adapter.
    If you want to do the self-upgrade, I'll suggest to buy two SSD which is same as the one you already have. Then you'll be able to have a good performance meanwhile prevent the possible compatibility issue. You can also ask MSI service center for the MSI approval list of SSDs. It's recommanded to use the same SSDs.
