  • MSI GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes - GTX 760M screen too white

    So I bought this laptop today and I noticed that the screen was really white, so I tried calibrating the color and that didn't help, and then I tried using the intel graphics control panel that didn't work either.
    I was wondering if there was a way to solve this problem because watching movies on this laptop is painful.
    thanks

    I can't really take a photo, but I can try to explain it.
    The quality of the screen is washed out (white) It doesn't have that rich tone normal computers have. Usually contrasting the screen helps but for some reason no matter how much I play with it, it doesn't solve this problem.
    The thing is I read this review for this laptop online and they said "screen looks washed out unless you push it back a fair amount" which shows that there might be a way to fix it.
    I hope this description helps
    thanks in advance

    I do not have Proof but i was at the MSI GE40 launch and tested out bio infinite and crysis 3 on the table
    High end games will run seriously hot around 82-90 degree C but its quite a surprise you can run high settings on crysis 3

  • GE40 2OC Dragon Eyes - Screen Issues

    Hello,
    My notebook have screen issues, it goes black in some situations. Sometimes, when I turn on the notebook, the screen is already black and I cannot see anything, then I have to turn it off (pressing power button). It also goes black when I close notebook lid and reopen it (I have set up so that closing the lid does not do anything to the notebook). Also, minimizing or closing some fullscreen games like Skyrim or Resident Evil 6 makes the screen go black. When it goes black I turn notebook off. Please help :(.

    He only reconnected the cable. So, it is better to replace it with a new one, right?
    I can see the desktop when connected to HDMI, the notebook works normally, except the built in display.
    Ok, I will update BIOS and report here =D
    That issue of yours does not sem to be BIOS related problem at all so you would mostlikely have same problem after bios update, so best is to send it to repair where they will re-place the screen cable completely some times they get worn out and begins to glitch.

  • Msi ge40 internal layout !!

    Alright this is it
    The reason why MSI GE40 uses a 4702MQ Low voltage CPU is because of the cooling , it uses thin cheap copper heatsink and a heatspreader fan which is good enough for the cpu and gpu
    If you upgrade the CPU to a 45w and higher you will experience high hot grill temperature
    It seems that the ODD is there with the mSATA x 2 but the problem is if you buy the ODD model and you want to install mSATA SSDs will be a pain because the cover would not be block or something since the ODD is remove with the ODD case cover

    There is a new incarnation of the MSI GE 40 laptop, with new CPUs (mine is 4712M), GPU (mine: 850M w/2GB DDR5), drive configuration (I bought with 1TB Hitachi 7200 RPM) and memory (mine came with 1*8GB DDR3 1600).

    You need to buy the 2 SSD RAID version in the begining, not able to upgrade by users.
    Right, if you do not buy such a thing, you do not get the nifty SATA-to-2*mSATA adapter by MSI.
    Quote from: BlueAlexFPS;45298
    And if you buy the 2 SSD RAID as Super RAID version, you will not have ODD with it. Because GE40 need to use the ODD space to install 2 mSATA SSDs to replace the plat.
    Kind of.. but no. The new version does not have the ODD even as an option, so you get nothing there (unless you find something aftermarket, but why would you buy such a laptop in the first place if you need an ODD).
    Fortunatelly the laptop comes with ODD bay filled with a 2.5" SATA caddy, which can be used for another drive.
    I thought the SATA-to-mSATA adapter was a part of the laptop, so I bought mSATA drive. Oh, poor me, how little I knew. Now I ordered a SATA to mSATA 9.5mm high adapter (roughly $30 where I live), so I could install the mSATA drive. The ODD bay can be open ONLY after you open the bottom cover, which voids warranty.
    Same goes for HDD/SSD and memory upgrade. MSI, seriously?
    The issue here is that if you want an SSD you like (not some random 120GB or so device the manufacturer gets in for you), you have to pay for both, and have the reseller swap them for you (so the warranty...). My etailer insisted on replacing the HDD with an SSD, and using the HDD as external drive. , no.

  • MSI GT70 20C WIN 8.1 UPGRADE ISSUES!!!!

    Hello everyone  A bit of a quagmire here.  I have a new MSI GT70 20C.  It is an awesome gaming machine to say the least.  I decided to choose the best of two evils and decided to upgrade to WIN 8.1.....
    Here is the issue:
    1:Uninstalled the old Killer E2200 LAN/WLAN/BT 4.0 Drivers.
    2:Installed the new Drivers provided by MSI and all work except LAN.
    3:Uninstalled everything and tried again but this time noticed that when device manager is open and installing the driver pack, the device manager refreshed about 10 times or so and it is all fine until after the program says to reboot then the LAN is not working again.  I proceeded to uninstall and re-install this time to cancel the install as I realized that there is something in the driver pack that is conflicting with windows during the install process. I restarted the system and now it all works. 
    This is not just a request for assistance from support but also a really strange assist.  Please respond if anyone encounters the same situation.   

    I've got the newer/newest gt70 dominator pro, which came with windows 8.1 installed.
    So I don't have the same issue as you.
    But with killer and drivers for it, ive had nothing but problems.
    As of right now, I deleted the killer suite and only have drivers installed. The LAN driver in my device manager shows the yellow exclamation mark, but it works. So that's where I am and that's where im choosing to stay.
    I will end up, and soon, getting an intel wireless card, but not sure if you can replace the lan as I think that might be part of the board.

    Wow, that solved this problem. I had 5 GB of systemd logs. I deleted them (after making a backup on another disk), I limited the journal size to only 50MB, and now NetworkManager only lasts 4 seconds to start, and GDM appears 10 seconds earlier. Thanks a lot

  • MSI GE40 2OC - Webcam problem

    Hello.
    I have recently bought a MSI GE40 2OC laptop and i must say its absolutely beautiful light and fast as lightning.I will be moving to UK now because im starting University and i wanted to make sure Skype was properly working.On that process it detected that i DIDNT have a webcam plugged into my system.Its not in the device manager tab either so i am guessing the webcam is internally disconnected.I am very frustrated and hoping that someone can give me a solution.
    Thanks in advance 

    I just got this model too, and love it.  Good point though, I haven't tried the webcam.  I currently don't have software like Skype that utalizes it, but I have a feeling it's also missing on my computer.  Normally the webcam is listed under my computer (on mine it's not), and also it shoudl be listed under device manager (also on mine it's not). 
    I also don't see the drivers listed on the drivers page: [not allowed to post external links] makes me wonder if the drivers are even available for it.
