MSI CX70 freezes (?)

Good afternoon everybody,
Since 2 days I'm facing quite a big problem with my ( not even 1y old ) MSI CX70 laptop.
Whenever I run windows I'm able to use my laptop for a random amount of time before Windows simply freezes.
The taskbar freezes, I can't start anything and at this very moment, HD tune gets stuck aswell making my laptop pretty useless.
Things I already tried:
- Windows reinstallation ( tried Windows 8.1, 8 and 7 ( x64 legit MSDN ) )
- Removed my SSD and tested it in another computer ( is working fine )
- Removed my HDD and tested it in another computer ( is working fine )
- Executed chkdsk multiple times
- Executed sfc /scannow multiple times.
- Resetted BIOS to "optimized defaults"
- Unplugged the battery for 5 minutes
- Memtestx86 ( RAM seems fine )
- Disabled dynamic tick ( was listed as a solution by microsoft )
- Tried clean booting ( no effect )
- Tried installed as much as Windows updates as possible ( no effect )
- Tried installing ALL drivers for the installed Windows version ( no effect )
My MSI CX70 laptop has the following hardware:
- Intel Core i5-3210M
- Nvidia Geforce 640M ( and Intel interegrated GFX 4000 )
- 8GB ram
- 1TB HDD and 1 SSD ( replaced DVD drive with SSD )
And a custom BIOS I "bought" from here is flashed at this very moment.
Problem description:
After 2 days now Windows gets stuck after a random amount of use-time.
The taskbar simply doesn't respond anymore, and all opened programs get stuck.
That being said, when I plugin my USB3.0 flashdrive in my USB3.0 port, the drive does NOT get recognized by Windows ( but connecting a mouse is working just fine.. And connecting the flashdrive in any other 2.0 port is working just fine aswell )
I listed the things I could think of above, but nothing I did fixed my problem.
Did anybody else have such a problem?
Is anybody able to help me out with my problem?
Thank you kindly.

I just found this in my event viewer.. I didn't see it before.

[REQ] VT-X & NVidia Optimus - MSI CX70 0ND

Hello,
I need VT-X enabled on my laptop for school purpose, and basically I want to force-use my nvidia card instead of both the cards.
Is there a specific amount of donation required for such an action, or will any reasonable amount do?
my laptop:
MSI CX70 0ND
BIOS: E1755IMS.30H
FW: 1755EMS1 4.07
Thank you in advance.

well, thats fine then..
what about virtualization?
or what about unlocking the entire bios?
Thanks for your quick response.
virtualization is possible

MSI GE60 freezes after RMA.

I have a MSI GE60 with i5-3210M and Geforce GT 650M, born with Windows 7, and I have had problems with it freezing, and requiring a manual restart, alomst since day 1.
The problem can occur almost anytime while using the Nvidia card both in games and while using 3D modelling software etc. I mainly encounter it in games though, and it seems to most often occur during cutscenes, loading screens and especially if I tab out of the game while playing. The screen image will simply freeze and the audio disappears. Most often the hard drive LED turns completely off, and the only way forward is to turn it off with the power button and reboot.
I figured it would be the GPU and applied for an RMA, which went through. The hard drive had also become quite slow, and the fan was noisier, which might be due to the countless hard resets. I just got it back today, and I was informed that they had replaced the hard drive, the fan, and the motherboard(which I strongly assume includes CPU/GPU as well). It is much quieter and the hard drive gets better benchmarks too. However after having the laptop back for only a few hours i tested it with playing ArmA. I flew around in a chopper in the map editor for 3 minutes, and then i tabbed out of the game and back again, which led to the laptop freezing the same way as before the RMA.
I then figured that it could be a software problem, even though I have formatted quite a few times with the recovery partition. So I did a clean install and upgraded to Windows 8 in the progress, and lo and behold.. I started up ArmA again with the same outcome as last time.
So now I am left with 2 possible scenarios for what the error might be. It could either be the RAM, which is the only vital component that was not changed during the repair, although I have run 2 cycles of Memtest without any errors. Or it might simply be the type of motherboard in this laptop that is not up to the task of running computer games.
I would like to hear from other people who owns a GE60 with the same configuration, and whether they have had similar problems, or if I am just very unlucky. Because right now I am clueless as to what the problem is.

Maybe it might be the RAM anyways. I did a GPU stress test with with Furmark, where the temperature of the GPU seemed to be stable around 65-70 degrees. After ending the test though, the laptop froze almost immediately. An hour later i did a benchmark test in Hitman: Absolution and yet again the laptop froze right after ending the test.
After googling it, I stumbled across a few posts with the same issue being presented:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267239-29-strange-computer-problem
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1796554/computer-crashes-close-game.html
One specifically mentions a RAM issue: "Sounds like RAM issue (after a game is closed the ram needs to be cleaned up, and if there is a problem there it might crash)."
I tried running memtest86 4.3.7 for 4 cycles without getting any errors, but I do suspect the RAM tbh. It seems too freaky that a new motherboard/GPU would generate the exact same problem as the one it replaced imo.

MSI FX5900XT freeze up

I just built a computer that has a Soyo Dragon Plus v1.0 motherboard, 512mb ddr ram, a Athlon XP 2800+, and a MSI GeForce FX 5900XT video card running windows xp home edition. The problem is when i try and run games such as ghost recon or unreal tournament the computer will freeze. I think the problem is the video card becuase when I used the DirectX Diagnostic Tool ("dxdiag" from the run command) and did the test DirectDraw and test Direct3d it froze when I did the test direct3d, but was fine with the DirectDraw Test. I looked over the drivers and looked at the notes and it said some of the drivers were not WHQL certified so I went to nvidias website and got a newer driver and the message disapperared and said there were no driver problems. I ran the Direct3d test again and it still froze as did the games. Ive tried changing the refresh rate and that does not work either, can someone please help me with this?

To get it all in one place . . .

FSB and the resulting memory frequency in BIOS must be the same value.
Athlon 2800+ Front Side Bus runs at 166Mhz (333 effective)
and your PC2700 mem runs at 166Mhz as well (supposing you're not overclocking) It didn't on my system and was cousing problems.
Set you memory speed to AUTO to ensure that you have it on par with the CPU.

. . . got a new power supply: Enermax 460w +3.3v/35A, +5v/35A, +12v/ 33A) but im still freezing up on 3D games. When i do the direct3d test it spins the box longer then it has in the past and ive gotten farther through games then i have but i still freeze up. Even when i try to switch screensavers to a 3d one . . .
. . . used driver cleaner, installed new drivers, installed the hyperion drivers for via and got the same result.....format my harddrive and reinstall everything or you guys have other ideas? thanks, jetboy
Before reformat I'd like to confirm & suggest a coupla' things:
-If you haven't already, clean RAM and VidCard contacts with Isopropyl Alcohol.
-Important to be sure it's in AUTO to sync RAM with CPU FSB.
-Run vid/monitor at Default resolution/refresh rate till this is solved.
You're taking all the right steps and narrowing down the probabilities here, it's a pain but everything has to be done. Some improvement is showing, let's get a full-working rig again
BTW, did this build ever work 100% or has had video probs from beginning? I'm on a build and this helps to remind me to be methodical & painstaking with it.
Folkz, any other suggestions y'all think of?

[Solved] MSI CX70-ONF how enable VT-x

Hi
im looking to enable VT-x on notebook CX70-ONF

MSI GT780 freezing

i have a msi GT780 DXR it was working fine before but then i decided to upgrade to a cruiser ssd so took one hdd out. i made a complete backup of the operating system using acronis and restored it onto my ssd. my laptop has gone faster but at times the laptop freezes for a minute and sometimes freezes altogether then i have to reboot laptop. im wondering whether the problem is in the ssd or that i restored the operating system onto it. thanks

First thing I'd do is make sure that the firmware on the SSD is up to date.....
Actually, it could very well be the restore causing the problem....
I hate saying this, but I'd do a complete reinstall, just for sanity's sake. You went from a mechanical HDD to a SSD and there are quite a few things different in how they work and are laid out, and I wouldn't doubt that by doing the restore, it probably wouldn't work well.

MSI 6167 freezing

I have a MSI 6167 Athlon motherboard with a 750MHZ processor and 256Mb of SD RAM and GeForce 2 graphics card.
Recently it has been freezing every 30 minute or so - the screen just freezes.
Now it won't turn on, the keyboard and drive lights come on, but there is no signal to the monitor and it doesnt progress through the startup stages.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Ben

It seems to be fixed now..
I took everything out, tested the RAM - all OK, blew a load of dust out, took all the cards out and reseated them all, reseated the memory...
And it works! - been going for 4 hours now without a freeze - so I dunno what fixed it, but thanks anyway guys

MSI GT70 freezes

Hi.
Got a brand new MSI GT70, witch really pisses me off for the time being, almost every time I exit a game, it goes a min. and then it freezes... Now and then it freezes randomly in win or in game as well... I'm considering to install Win 7 really, hopeing that that solve the problem, but then again, if it dosen't, I don't have win 8 install disk, since that didn't follow the laptop... Any recommandations what to do about the freezing? Have used RegCure Pro to fix registry fails+++, but it still freezes:-(

Bios did not fix it....
Been looking around more in the event log, and this seem to occur everytime some seconds before:

MSI N580GTX - freezing games

Got a new MSI 580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC. After using it for a month or so it started acting up. When playing a more demanding game (Call of Duty: Black Ops, BulletStorm, Homefront, etc) it runs well for a few minutes, and when GPU temperature reaches about 60 or 65C (which is not that much) game freezes. When I press Ctrl-Alt-Del and I start Task Manager (or simply cancel and go back to game) most of the times it continues to run for some time (from a few seconds up to a minute or two) probably until temp reaches critical again. If I play something less demanding, such as CSS, if I'm lucky I might not get a freeze, but occasionally I do, but after a longer period, something like 15-20 mins or more. This didn't happen when it was brand new, a couple of months ago, but it started at some point while playing Bulletstorm and then somewhat got worse. First I thought it was a hitch with the new NVidia drivers 275.33 (which is not unheard of:) so I tried reverting to some older versions. Went through 270.61 and a couple more, now I'm on 267.24 and it makes no difference. Tried upgrading (and then downgrading to be sure) to latest BIOS version on the video card (1.04) and that didn't help either. Motherboard BIOS has been upgraded more than a year ago, with no issues, and it has worked that way so I'm pretty sure that's not it. Being all out of options I pulled it out to clean it (there was no dust on it by the way) and re-seated it nicely on the slot, just to be sure. Nope, that didn't fix anything. By the way, when I get the freezes, GPU usage is not even that high, it runs at about 50-60% capacity. CPU is also about 50% but never goes above 55 or 60C on core #4 (always the hottest), but I never had any problems with the CPU overheating before anyway.
So I'm getting tired of this, I think the card is defective and I would like to return it, but I live in Belgium and I couldn't find any service center or similar in Belgium. I'm starting to think it was a mistake to buy MSI stuff.
Oh, and just anticipating your PSU question, I don't think that's the case. I have a Thermaltake ToughPower 700W PSU that has been running for something like two years with no issue, and my previous video card was sucking about as much current out if it as this one (it was a 9800GX2, may it rest in peace). So as I said, I sincerely doubt it's the PSU.
System configuration is:
Mobo: Asus Striker II NSE
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 9450 @ 2.66GHz
2x500Gb WD HDDs
PSU: Thermaltake ToughPower 700W
Memory: Corsair XMS3 DHX CM3X2G1333C9DHX
OS: Win7 Ultimate x64
That enough about sys config or do you want to know more?
Thanks, any help appreciated.

what is the speed of the GPU fan with those temps ? and second question; do you clean the old drivers before install this new card ?

Msi ti4600 freezing?

Hi, I'm running into problems frequently on my recently purchased msi ti4600-vtd card (MS-8872). Everytime I try to play any game, it freezes up after a few minutes or seconds. For example, When I play No one lives forever, it freezes up after 5-10 minutes into the game.
I have tried downloading the latest Nvidia drivers (41.09) from there site but was still getting the same problem. Currently, I have 31.00 drivers from MSI and bios version; 4.25.00.27.33.
Also, once in a while, I get an error screen and it lists the file(s) that could possibly be causing the problem (nv.....) which I'm guessing are all video card base drivers. The only way is to reboot my pc which I am starting to get annoyed of.
Someone, Please help me resolve my problem.
Thank you
I have the A7N8X Deluxe motherboard using the onboard sound.

MSI GE60 freezes after closing games.

I have had my GE60 laptop for roughly ½ a year now.
Since day one I encountered some problems with it freezing while gaming but lately it has just spun out of control. Whenever I shut down a game there is roughly a 80% risc that the laptop will just freeze up within the next 5-20 seconds. The fan is not very loud but I can still hear it turning down a little around the time it freezes. It does not seem to matter which game I am playing, I have even encountered the problem after playing Minecraft. Often the only way to avoid it is closing windows immediately after closing the game.
When it freezes the screen stays turned on, but the mouse, clock etc. freezes and the only way out is a hard reset. About 90% of the time the hard drive indicator LED also stops flashing, and if i press Caps Lock there is no indicator for it either. Most of the physical buttons for WiFi, fan acceleration etc. works though.
I suspected video drivers to be the problem but updating them has been to no avail, so any other suggestion would be much appreciated.

It is Windows 7
no recovery cd? btw you can contact msi for recovery cd. otherwise if you have the windows serial key under your nb then you can just download windows 7 installation image from microsoft website and burn a cd with it to reformat your nb. if you do not have windows serial key under you nb then the serial key must be put into the bios and in this case proceed as same as the previous sentence. download and burn cd , reformat.

MSI GX70 freezes when switching GPU

Hi,
I'm getting more and more freezes on my MSI GX70 lately.
The freezes happen when I switch (alt+tab or Windows button) between Windows and the game World of Warcraft.
The pc is not completely stuck, Skype continues in the background but it doesn't respond to any input on the keyboard or mice. The screen remains black. I think this is related to switching gpu's (small one for Windows and big one for the game)
Is there anyone else with the same problem or feedback on where to start looking?
I'm running Windows 8.1 with all drivers from the MSI website. Bios and firmwares are up-to-date too.
Thank you.
Britt

This has always been an issue with World of Warcraft, even more so with ATI/AMD video cards.
I haven't played since before Cataclysm days, but it wouldn't surprise me if this still existed today. I had many problems back then with my 5870.
Have you tried using the latest video drivers from AMD? I know that they are buggy, but that might be your best bet.
I would also suggest checking AMD's forums to see if other users have the same problem with the mobile graphics that you are using.

MSI 6600GT Freezing

Alright, so I came accross this site and decided to check out if there was anyone else having the same problems as me. Much to my suprise, or maybe not, there were a lot of people with this problem or a similar one which I am about to explain.
I built this computer a month ago:
WindowsXP Pro Service pack2
AMD64 3000+
k8n-neo4 motherboard
audigy 2 soundcard
MSI6600GT pcie
580 watt psu
80gb hd
and 2 drives
11 fans total..
Ok, so I hook up my computer and install bf1942 to test it out. right when I start it up, BAM it freezes. I restart, installing ut2k4 and testing that out, BAM, it freezes right on the menue screen like bf1942. I go install all the necissary updates for my computer and install the newest patches for both games. Yet, once again, my computer freezes at both menu screens. I install XIII, I am able to play it for a few hours but then it freezes. I install Prince of Persia and am also able to play it for a few hours but it too began to freeze soon after. I have tried reinstalling windows, getting different gpu driver versions and even types (like omega and things like that, not just Nvidia drivers.) But to no avail.
I'm currently running the card under the 78.01 drivers by Nvidia (I know they're new and probably crap, but I just got them because nothing else worked...and ofcourse those didn't work either.) . The gpu runs about 50c at idle, which is pretty hot, and then gets up to 56 or so in games. Hot, but not enough to freeze...especially at menue screens.
One interesting thing to note is that any demos I play will work. Right now I play the bf2 demo and don't have any problems what so ever. I also played a bunch of demos that came with the card including black hawk down and some other crappy game. The point is, it seems the 3 demos I've played run fine...but all full version games crash.
Any help would be much appreciated and sorry if this has been a topic I have only repeated once more upon a stack of the same.
-Gannon

Quote from: crull on 06-September-05, 11:38:50
Those temperatures are well within reason and actually are pretty good...so I doubt it's heat related. Have you checked out your IRQ usage?
One thing about BF1942 also...it will crash if your refresh rate is not 60Hz. The only way around that is to edit a text file in the game. I'm not sure if you know about that though.
Have you tried running any of the 3DMARK tests like 2001, 2003...2005?
It sounds like it could be a hardware conflict or IRQ conflict of somekind or even chipset drivers....something along those lines. I would suggest trying a a full run of 3Dmark first to see how the card handles it.
Did you ever consider that maybe it's not the video card at all? To play those games you need memory and the CPU also...maybe the memory timings are set too tight or the CPU is overheating.
crull, thanks for getting back to me.
First off I am running my monitor at 60hrz so that should be no problem in b1942. no, I have not run the 3d marks on this machine yet...but I will. Also, I have used both ram and cpu stress testers and pass both...my cpu does not overheat and niether my RAM. I'll get back to you when I run those tests...
