This is really about how often you use the battery. The more times a battery charges/discharges, the faster the battery will drain out. And there might be slightly differences among different platforms.
You are right. But what I really do not understand is, what consumes battery when it is off. There is no action. Is it because how battery runs inside need to consume energy?
Why many notebooks do not have such issue?

  • GE70 2OE Users please comment about my battery issue.

    Even my GE70 2OE is completely off, it consumes battery about %4-5 per day. I contacted support first they agreed it to be a problem but then they said it is normal. And I do not believe them. I did not have this issue for 11 months only last month.
    So do your notebooks consumes battery even it if completely off?

  • Verizon Please comment about the proposed meaning of 'soon' regarding upgrades

    Since Verizon is my vendor for 5 phones plus the Xoom and since Verizon sold me the Xoom with a promise of 'soon' for the upgrades could you please define soon for me? According to the people in the store it was a matter of a few weeks. If you cannot tell me when can you please confirm that you are still going to come through with your promise at 'some' point? I am no longer able to return the Xoom and could live with it the way it is without LTE for now but your silence is not very encouraging. Please advise. Do I need to go back to the store to figure this out? They don't seem to know anything there either the last time I checked though.

    Thats my question, are they working on it? There has been no communication from vzw confirming that. Only from people who have no real idea about what is going on.I don't mean that to be critical of posters here but unless you are a vzw employee or have some inside knowledge somehow then you are guessing just like me. And to say either relax or jump ship?not likely. I am stuck with this beta test box now. There is no way to get out of the 2 year contract. Besides i do like my xoom, i just want to get what was promised.
    That's the thing... They say it's upgradable to LTE which honestly mean they are working on it. To say it is and not working on bringing it could be considered false advertising as people like you bought it assuming it would be upgraded at some point. They have backed themselves into a corner to bring an upgrade. It's no guess at all.
    Aside from that... well HERE - They are supporting their products...  With any software out there NO COMPANY likes to give any hard dates.  I have yet to see a software company have a hard date and met it without any hitches.

    Checking another images for "Ge60 0nd", we can see that they are placed:
    we don't know why you don't have such.
    keyboard layer vary depend of regions.
    but since those keys do what they are suppose to do, its not big issue.
    else we don't know why is this, you can ask your reseller or near msi office:

  • MSI GE70 2OE-015NL very poor performance on battery power

    Hey guys,
    First of all I want to say that I'm really happy with my GE70 notebook. Everything works perfectly fine except for this one thing... When I play games on the notebook while on battery power, the performance is very poor. For example when I normally on AC power get around 250 FPS, it drops down all the way to around 40-60 FPS on battery power. In real demanding games this can be very annoying, since I have to play on AC power constantly for games like Battlefield 4. Although this isn't really a problem for me most of the time, I just don't think that's the concept of a notebook... I monitored some statistics using MSI Afterburner and I noticed that the GPU's core clock is clocked all the way down to a constant 135MHz whilst gaming and the memory is clocked all the way down to around 400MHz. I'm using a GTX 765M. I've already tried changing settings in the Windows power settings, the NVIDIA control panel and I even looked into the BIOS, but I couldn't find a solution to this problem. Apparently the GTX 700M series GPUs support Optimus technology which should give a decent battery life using the full power of your GPU, but for me it doesn't do so. The battery gets drained in around 45 minutes while gaming on very poor performance. I hope you guys can help me out!

    Oyo,
    All Gamer NB are not done for play in battery mode, battery life are short and the power provide by a battery are far from the power adapter, this mean the NB get less power and your CPU and VGA are working in lower mode = lower result.
    This is normal because link to the battery, thepower adapter provide 120W, the battery 49W, you see the gap between them ^^
    So for play games, use the power adapter and the battery together, this is the best way.

  • About T500 battery issue

    I bought a T500 in Jan, 2009. So far my battery only has 53 cycles. But it only could last at most 20min. Sometimes, the gauge shows 60% full, but the next minute it shows less than 1% full and shut down automatically. Although I bought a 3-year warranty for my T500, the representative said the warranty for battery is only one year... And I found I need to spend more than $150 for a new battery...
    The manufacturer is Sony and FRU number is  42T4623. It is a Li-Ion battery and the gauge still says this battery is in good condition. What's the problem with battery? Do I have to buy a new one?
    Thanks for any advice.

    do you think this link is good for T500 15.4"?
    http://www.laptopcharge.com/category/notebook+battery/ibm/thinkpad+t500/lib200-gs.aspx#pt
    From power manager, I got my battery FRU# is 42T4623 but from Lenovo website warranty page, I got my battery FRU# is 42T4777, MFG# is 92P1142. It's very weird.
    From the above link, I found it's compatible with 92P1142, but did not find 42T4623 or 42T4777 in the compatibility list as below:

  • MSI GE70 2OE-029CZ Start-up problems, please help

    Hello guys. My name is Mike and I need some help from you. Half year back I bought notebook MSI GE70 2OE-029CZ from Czech Republic and it wont boot up now. I used this notebook normally without problems until now. Four days back I finished my work and turned notebook off. Next day, after I came back home, I turned notebook on and suddenly it turned off after 4 seconds. It showed only MSI logo, I did not get in to bootloader. Then I turned it on again and same thing happened again. Except it was running only 1-2 seconds. After this notebook did not start up again. I have checked power supply with voltmeter and got suitable voltage. I did let the battery to discharge little over night and in the morning I tried to put it on charger. The battery diode lighted up. But still could not start it up. I already filled out MSI Service webform yesterday, but still did not get any response. Im just posting it here if someone of you has some idea i could try. Also does anyone got any idea why are mine audio jacks not golden? They are just black. I supposed they had to be golden plated. Sorry for my bad grammar, I am not born English speaker . Thank you for you help and time.

    Hello,
    I am sorry you experience this problem and probably I would be frustrated if such a thing would happen to me.
    Sorry if I dis-read something, but have you tried turning the laptop ON without the battery just with charger? And other way around (with FULL battery but no charger)?
    About HDD: you can take it out, but would be BEST if you make backup somewhere once you take it out and send it TOGETHER with the laptop, as the problem might be somewhere with the wires.

  • Best practice for migrating data tables- please comment.

    I have 5 new tables seeded with data that need to be promoted from a development to a production environment.
    Instead of the DBAs just using a tool to migrate the data they are insistent that I save and provide scripts for every single commit, in proper order, necessary to both build the table and insert the data from ground zero.
    I am very unaccustomed to this kind of environment and it seems much riskier for me to try and rebuild the objects from scratch when I already have a perfect, tested, ready model.
    They also require extensive documentation where every step is recorded in a document and use that for the deployment.
    I believe their rationale is they don't want to rely on backups but instead want to rely on a document that specifies each step to recreate.
    Please comment on your view of this practice. Thanks!

    The process you describe is what I would expect, and require, in any well-run environment.

    >
    Nobody cares if if is riskier for you. The production environment is sacred. Any and all risk to it must be reduced to a minimum at all cost. In my opinion a DBA should NEVER move ANYTHING from a development environment directly to a production environment. NEVER.
    Development environments are sandboxes. They are often not backed up. You or anyone else could easily modify tables or data with no controls in place. Anything done in a DEV environment is assumed to be incomplete, unsecure, disposable and unvetted.
    If you are doing development and don't have scripts to rebuild your objects from scratch then you are doing it wrong. You should ALWAYS have your own backup copies of DDL in case anything happens (and it does) to the development environment. By 'have your own' I mean there should be copies in a version control system or central repository where your teammates can get their hands on them if you are not available.
    As for data - I agree with what others have said. Further - ALL data in a dev environment is assumed to be dev data and not production data. In all environments I have worked in ALL production data must be validated and approved by the business. That means every piece of data in lookup tables, fact tables, dimension tables, etc. Only computed data, such as might be in a data warehouse system generated by an ETL process might be exempt; but the process that creates that data is not exempt - that process and ultimately the data - must be signed off on by the business.
    And the business generally has no access to, or control of, a development environment. That means using a TEST or QA environment for the business users to test and validate.

    >
    Absolutely! That's how professional deployments are performed. Deployment documents are prepared and submitted for sign off by each of the affected groups. Those groups can include security, dba, business user, IT and even legal. The deployment documents always include recovery steps so that is something goes wrong or the deployment can't procede there is a documented procedure of how to restore the system to a valid working state.
    The deployments themselves that I participate in have representatives from the each of those groups in the room or on a conference call as each step of the deployment is performed. Your 5 tables may be used by stored procedures, views or other code that has to be deployed as part of the same process. Each step of the deployment has to be performed in the correct order. If something goes wrong the responsible party is responsible for assisting in the retry or recovery of their component.
    It is absolutely vital to have a known, secure, repeatable process for deployments. There are no shortcuts. I agree, for a simple 5 new table and small amount of data scenario it may seem like overkill.
    But, despite what you say it simply cannot be that easy for one simple reason. Adding 5 tables with data to a production system has no business impact or utility at all unless there is some code, process or application somewhere that accesses those tables and data. Your post didn't mention the part about what changes are being made to actually USE what you are adding.

  • [TUTORIAL] GE70 2OE Installing Windows 7 (OS CHANGE)

    Hello Forum,
    Here is my very first post on this forum... but I wanted to share my experience with switching OS on the new GE70 2OE-015NL (as the product name says, I'm from The Netherlands  )
    I bought my GE70 and immidiately wanted to switch my OS to Windows 7... I owned a Dell Vostro 1700 Series and OS switches were never a problem on that notebook... as soon as i started with the OS change I ran into some problems that were difficult for me to fix (I'm not an expert) There were almost no tutorials to find about this, but I managed to fix it! 
    Before I figured out what to do, I called MSI Support so they could tell me if I could safely remove the BIOS_RVY partition etc. but as soon as I got someone on the phone and I told him that I already deleted the Windows 8 partitions and didn't get Windows 7 to install he began shouting that MSI doesn't support OS changes and that I had to send an email to their tech support so they could decide later on if they would help me or not.... I didn't ask for anything, I only wanted to know if I fkd up my new Notebook or that it would be repairable... a BIG  for the MSI Tech Support! After I called I immidiately googled if it was safe to delete the BIOS_RVY partition but there were no such forum posts that I could find.. Therefore I decided to make this post!
    REMINDER: this tutorial is for those that find it difficult or are scared to change their OS without knowing what's going to happen.. I had to figure this all out on my own and therefore I want to help other people with similar problems! So maybe it's a bit noob for this forum I don't know.. but please don't hate because of that! ^^
    WARNING: THE INSTALLED OS MUST BE A 64-BIT VERSION, ALSO I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR NOTEBOOK/NETBOOK!
    It is also recommended that you download all the drivers for Windows x64 before you install Windows because the network card won't work because of a lack of drivers so you need a second PC with a USB or you download them before the OS switch and put them on a USB.
    Step 1: Make a bootable DVD/USB with Windows 7 x64 ISO on it, this can be done with Rufus for USB Flash Drives or PowerISO for DVD's! (I'm sorry I'm not allowed to post external links so you will have to google it  )
    Step 2: Restart the PC and when the text MSI pops up you press the DEL (numpad " . " key) and you will get into the BIOS Menu
    Step 3: Go to the BOOT tab and select Boot Mode (or something similar) and change the Boot Mode from UEFI to Legacy
    Step 4: Now you're Windows USB/DVD should be bootable (Microsoft says that Windows 7 supports UEFI Boot but I tried using multiple ISO's on different USB's and DVD's with different write speeds etc. but I didn't get Windows 7 Setup to boot beyond the 'Starting Windows' screen)
    Step 5: When Windows 7 Setup is Booted select your country settings and time format and don't select the Upgrade option but the Custom (advanced) option to install Windows 7.
    Now it's getting a bit difficult for most of us... Windows 7 Booted in a Legacy Boot Mode does not support GPT (Guid Partition Table) Disks, those can only be writed upon in UEFI mode. So now we need to change the Disk Partition Table to MBR (Master Boot Record). When you're at the partition menu, format and delete all partitions (yes don't worry you can safely delete all the partitions (when deleting the BIOS_RVY partition the F3 Hotkey function won't work anymore but we don't want that because it will recover Windows 8 but we hate that OS.. that's why we want to change to Windows 7!)
    Step 6: Now that all the partitions are deleted on the disk, we can openup CMD this can be done by pressing SHIFT+ F10 in the partition menu of the Windows 7 Setup.
    Now type the following commands:
    Diskpart
    List Disk
    Select Disk # (probably 0, because the most notebooks only have 1 HDD)
    Convert MBR
    Now your HDD is converted to a MBR Partition Table
    Step 7: Make a new partition (or more, depends on how much storage you have and want on your C:\ partition, Windows will automatically make some System partition(s))
    Step 8: Select the partition on which you want to install Windows 7 and let it install! the MSI GE70 2OE supports Windows 7 x64 so all the drivers for that OS can be downloaded at the MSI website, product info (GE70 2OE) and then downloads -> Drivers.
    Step 9: Install all the drivers and you're ready to go!
    I hope I helped you with this problem, for me it was kinda hard to figure out that you could safely delete all the partitions on the disk without screwing up your PC.. So I hope I gave you some confidence with doing so after reading this tutorial!

    Hey man
    I did this on the new msi ge60 2oc 014ne, which should be pretty much the same. Almost everything seems fine now except for two things.. I still cant det the wireless network adapter working, even though the ethernet works and Ive installed all drivers i could find. Do you have any idea what to do?
    Second thing, in the Windows experience index, it gives my graphics card the grade 5.1, but it should be around 7. I installed the nvidia driver and all, so it doesn't really make sense to me... Any suggestions? Thanks!
    Oh yeah, and the big foot boot agent message that shows up every time i boot the machine, i cant make it go away... I click shift + f10, clicks disable message and f4 for save and quit.. But it shows up again nemt time i boot... An annoying useless waste of time..
    I guess it's pretty much the same indeed, do you have installed the Windows 7 x64 drivers for your wireless adapter or tried to install the Windows 8 ones? That could be the problem? If that's not the case and your ethernet is working, try checking for windows updates and see if it automatically installs the drivers for you? Make sure you installed the AzureWave Wireless LAN-NB114H driver that is available for your PC for Win7 x64, that driver as the name suggests is for wireless connection. Killer Bigfoot LAN is just for boosting your card so it's faster over LAN but the AzureWave makes the wireless connection available.. It worked for me so it should work for you?
    If you did this all, try reinstalling it.. If that doesn't work, try formatting al partitions again en reinstall Windows 7 and start with a clean install...
    About the videocard rate.. If your having problems with low FPS during gaming (maybe lower than normal) make sure you have installed the MSI driver for your graphic card (don't download it from the NVidia website) If you don't know, you can find all drivers for your device on the MSI website, Products -> Notebooks -> Gaming Series -> GE60 2OC -> Downloads
    If the lower rate of the video card didn't cause low FPS I wouldn't worry too much if I were you 
    Oh, and about the Bigfoot Boot Manager.. I have the exact same thing.. I'm still figuring out how to get rid of it, but for now I went into the configure mode and set the message to disabled and the message time to 1 second (so that 1 second extra boot time isn't that bad..) If I found a solution to get rid of it I will let you know!
    Hope I helped you, if not feel free to reply and ask again! We will figure it out together, or with help from someone else on this forum! 

  • GE70 2OE win 8.1 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a ge70 2oe and decided itd be time to go to windows 8.1 (since there were drivers available to download)
    So I did a clean install of windows 8 (since I cant go to 8.1 instant because of my key )
    and on 8 I didn't install drivers because I had the 8.1 drivers.
    so I went to 8.1 that went succesfull but then. installing the drivers on 8.1 is a complete disaster. chipset drivers gives me bsod's. not everything works properly etc.
    Any advice? should I stay on 8? can I use win 8 drivers on 8.1?
    Thanks in advance

    --Kalekip21
    There are a few threads regarding this.
    The Intel Chipset drivers are a known issue for some reason. The best suggestion is to get them straight from Intel if memory serves right, instead of using the ones from MSI. Check the other threads about the Windows 8.1 upgrade, there is information there that can solve your problem.
    Personally, I'd just forget Windows 8.1 and wait it out for a bit. It's been nothing but a huge mess for most users. It doesn't really add anything over Windows 8, which works fine.

  • GE70 2OE won't go past bios screen

    Hi, I bought a new GE70 2OE 7 days ago and I'm having trouble with it.
    It came with window 8 pre installed. I did all the update then upgraded to windows 8.1 and all went fine. I also made my recovery disks before any updates and after all the updates. I installed some programs along with iTunes but after this I kept getting advertisements poping up which was very annoying, I tryed to stop them but they kept appearing so I thought I would do a clean install. Started with disk 1 and whent to 6. When it told me to reboot it went to the bios screen. Thinking I hade hit the del button with my finger. I exited and rebooted but it still goes to the bios screen. When it gets post the boot logo there is some righting the pops up for a fraction of a second, I think it says some thing about nvidia. It keeps doing this all the time.
    Need some help please

    >>Checking Media Presense

    Hi Dec,
    The scrolling blue bars indicate that the Wondiows operating system is being loaded from the hard drive. If this process stalls during the load then it is likely that either the hard drive itself is defetive or the files which are being loaded are corrupt and cannot be loaded.
    Interfering with the CMOS chip will not correct this problem since the BIOS has already been loaded at this stage.
    If you have access to a bootable CD/DVD (such as Norton Disk Doctor) then I siggest you try booting from it and running a scan of your hard drive. Alternatively you could try re-installing your operating system from the Toshiba recovery CDs but this will over-write any of your own data on your hard drive.

    To all forum users:
    Please use this thread to note any comments that you have about Windows 7. Do not use this thread for any specific question or issue that you are having - it is just for comments or feedback. For questions/issues that require an answer, create a new thread.
    PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS THREAD TO DISCUSS WINDOWS 7 BETA OR WINDOWS 7 RC.
    This thread is a continuation from Have Comments about Windows 7? (Part 3).Windows Client IT Pro Audience Manager for Web Forums

    Here are important Windows 7 missing/broken features which were working in XP and some were working even in the broken Vista OS. I have tried since 2006 to bring these to the attention of various Windows feature teams through their blogs,
    forums, newsgroups, Windows 7 Beta program on Connect, Windows Feedback Program, newly opened Windows 7 feedback website and even asked customer service for hotfixes but all of them have been largely ignored. How many more years, service packs and
    Windows releases is it going to take to fix XP to Vista issues?
    XP to Vista issues:
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Auto refresh / auto sorting is mandatory making it impossibly difficult to work with many files, especially when they are extracted from archives.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Can't view size of folders in columns. Previously at least a shell extension called "Folder size" allow that but MS took away the core ability to be able to do that so the shell extension doesn't work any more
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Can't view the icons of 16-bit programs in 32-bit Windows 7 (I know 16-bit is stone age but if they can run, why not show the icons of those EXEs as well?). I can understand 64-bit Windows not showing icons for 16-bit EXEs but 32-bit
    Windows 7 should.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: No advanced file type association settings like Windows XP
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Access to network connection settings (IP address, DNS) status, details, repair, enable/disable is too many clicks away. Of course I can create a shortcut but if I have 2 wireless connections and 2 ethernet, I don't want to create 4
    shortcuts. Earlier XP allowed quick access to these settings depending on which connection was active.
    - Logon issue: I have set my system to auto logon but there are times when I want to log on to a different account, but there's no way in Windows 7 to stop the auto logon from happening. Previously in XP, holding down Shift prevented auto logon so you could
    switch to another user account. Or maybe Windows should have some timer at logon (like it has at startup) to wait for x number of seconds after which it should auto logon
    - Audio issue: I can't hear audio simultaneously from my headphones and from my speakers, or output to another set of speakers installed in the other room the same audio as I am listening to in my computer room
    - Audio issue: I am a big fan of MIDI songs and MIDI music in games so I want to be able to select a better sounding MIDI synthesizer than the ordinary sounding one that Windows 7 comes with by default but I can no longer do that. XP allowed that.
    - Servicing issue: Updates cannot be installed with the progess bar shown but unattended. It's either manual or completely silent without any indication that the MSU update completed or failed.
    - Servicing issue: Can't quickly and easily slipstream hotfixes like XP could using the /integrate switch
    - Shell/Explorer issue: WinSxS takes up too much disk space and Explorer doesn't let me view the correct size (nor any other utility that I know of since no size calculation utility can handle NTFS junction points points)
    - Driver installation issue: Whenever I want to install a custom driver for my hardware, the Plug and Play wizard now first installs its own Microsoft supplied driver or fails to install the driver if it doesn't have one out of the box. Then I have to open
    Device Manager with UAC prompts and start the "Update driver wizard" to install my own driver. In XP, the "Found new hardware" wizard itself had "Have disk" functionality where I could supply the path to my driver on CD.
    - System issue: No in place reinstall of OS to replace some corrupted files. With XP, I could reinstall the OS in-place so the OS would get repaired without my settings getting lost and programs having to be installed all over again
    - System issue: No hardware profiles so I can start my laptop with certain hardware disabled (like 2 NICs-1 wireless, 1 wired), 2 sound cards) depending on what hardware I want to use
    - IIS issue: SMTP and POP3 servers gone from IIS7
    - Management issue: Offline Files can't be automated from command line like one could in XP using CscCmd.exe
    - Power management issue:USB devices don't power off upon "safely removing". Data transfer stops but Windows 7 continues to supply power to USB devices
    - Power management issue: There is no progress bar when hibernating, the screen just turns black
    - Power management issue: Hardware power button can't be set to "Ask me what to do" every single time
    Vista to Windows 7 issues:
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Can't run 32-bit Explorer.exe in 64-bit Windows 7. Vista and XP x64 allowed that. Not all of my shell extensions are 64-bit.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: There used to be a sort bar with column headers for every view in Windows Explorer in Vista. In Windows 7, only details view has it.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Windows Explorer doesn't remember toolbar positions so I can't unlock toolbars, rearrange them and lock them again. Every time I start Windows Explorer, each toolbar is forced on its own line.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Auto arrange and Align to Grid in icon views is always on so I can't drag a few files away from a group if I want to work only with them.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Old Vista style dialog boxes which use the ListView control still have the annoying full row selection in List view which makes it difficult to click in an empty area without making a file get selected. The new Windows 7 style dialogs
    and Windows Explorer doesn't have this annoying issue thankfully though
    - Shell/Explorer issue: If I select files then if I do an Edit menu -> Sort, they get deselected. I have to select them all over again.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: I can't set a background JPEG for folders any more
    - Taskbar issue: Clicking a grouped application's taskbar button or thumbnail when it is active (in the foreground) does not minimize it like it used to happen in XP. Only ungrouped application buttons minimize upon being clicked again. Another feature MS
    probably forgot with grouping.
    - Taskbar issue: Number of combined taskbar windows is not shown on the taskbar
    - Taskbar issue: I can't select taskbar buttons with Ctrl+click and then selectively group maximize or group close
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Advanced Query Syntax for searching has to be remembered. No advanced search GUI so search become easy like Vista
    - Shell/Explorer issue: Game Explorer doesn't allow customizing game shortcuts. Many times I have to add switches to game shortcuts for compatiblity or resolution, it's so annoying!
    - Taskbar issue: No network activity indicator.
    - Shell/Explorer issue: In Windows Explorer, when you group items by category, I can longer Ctrl click on group headers to select entire group. Could do that in Vista.
    - Power management issue: All three power plans (especially combination of Power Saver and High Performance) aren't shown from taskbar's power icons.
    - Missing tool: No equivalent to Meeting Space or NetMeeting which was very useful for screen sharing and conferencing over LAN without internet access
    It's no use whatsoever giving any kind of feedback or comments as I don't see the results of my feedback in service packs or hotfixes. Windows 7 is a wonderful but broken OS. Last non-broken with all functionality intact and working as intended was WinXP.

  • GE70 2OE FPS unstable

    I have bought GE70 2OE about 1 week and I have some troubles when using it to play games.
    I have set the power options to "High performance".
    When there is no games running, the CPU maximum frequency can be maintained at 13X%.
    However when I am playing games, the frequency keeps varying in different percentage, causing FPS drop suddenly.
    This causes very unstable in game, which forces me to stop playing.
    Is the CPU or other hardware was defective? if not, How can I solve it?
    Here is a video showing this problem.

    Please help><"

    Use MSI Afterburner AND Coretemp to get the temperatures of the CPU and GPU while playing the game, and while not playing a game.
    It sounds like the CPU/GPU are overheating and throttling back, which is what is causing the FPS drop.
    Temperatures of CPU is around 75-85 degrees(Celsius) and GPU is 70-80C while playing games.
    When not in game, CPU is about 55C and GPU is 40-45C.
    I searched a post said set the max processor status from 100% to 99% can keep cpu runs at 2.4GHz.
    It's work, but totally being so slow when loading.
    My notebook is brand new, I thought that will not have heatsink problem?
    Anything I can do?
    Should I send it to MSI for checking the hardware?
    Thanks a lot.

    If thats when issues started, and now you are saying that its the same with win 8 clean install there are 2 more options i can only see... Well maybe more but here it goes:
    - make sure you update all the drivers and bios on your clean win 8 installation, then set in bios to go on best performance
    - if the above do not help I would also try to install win 7(maybe a some linux distribution?) just to prove that your issues are not related to an OS
    AND IF non of the aboved helped I would then think about sending it to waranty, but you better try the above one first and also wait for some more experienced users to say what they think
    good luck
