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

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 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.

MSI GE40-2OC Bios Compatiable with MS-1492 Barebones?

Hello,
I'm in the need of some help from the MSI team. I've recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and have been experiencing BSOD's when using the laptops Bluetooth/WiFi. I tried formatting and doing a fresh install ensuring all the drivers were up to date however this was of no help.
I came across a few posts on forums that suggested this is a BIOS/Firmware problem and an update would fix it. Upon checking my BIOS/Firmware it seems they are infact very old (BIOS Version: E1492IG6.10H EC: 1.504), however when trying to contact the retailer they said they had no newer updates available.
Can I flash the non-barebones BIOS/Firmware found on the MSI Support page on my barebones system and if not can anyone direct me to the latest versions of both for my barebones system?
Thank you.

Hi,
I contacted MSI as you suggested and they said they cannot provide barebones BIOS/EC's and only provide official MSI ones.
With both my retailer and MSI not being able to help I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do
Yeah, it's a really crappy situation. I'd put pressure on the retailer....that's your best bet at this point.

Systematic keyboard settings reset on the laptop GE40 2OC 036

Good day to all!
I have bought laptop GE40 2OC (Dragon Eyes) in January 2014. I managed to get a configuration with Super RAID (128 +128 Stripe) and HDD WD750 GB. Notebook is very productive, as I wanted.
The problem is: in Win8, which stood on the laptop as default OS, keyboard configuration (settings) namely the "delay before repeat" didn’t save. I used to work with a minimum of delay, and it in a while (indefinitely, different each time) returned to the standard default value. The most amazing thing in the keyboard settings (Control Panel -> Keyboard) slider has always remained in the position where I left it (far right).
I first thought that Kaspersky, which was pre-installed, was the reason, then thought about keyboard driver, it can be a long list ...
A few days ago I realized the reason - the keyboard settings are reset to default, if you press any combination of fn + F(x), or fn + cursor (change of volume/brightness). I.e.you wanted a brighter screen - pressed fn + UP, and settings returned (delay before repeating) back to the default value.
I decided to see how different keyboards will behave in the BIOS. The result surprised me.
1) The native keyboard - if you just hold the DOWN arrow, then in half a second cursor starts to "run". Speed is really slow, namely repeat rate (not delay).
2 ) Logitech K230 - delay before repeat rate is the same as in the case 1, but the repeat rate is faster - about in one and a half times.
3) The native keyboard after pressing any combination fn + func. key - The speed of the delay before repeat is the same as in the case of 1 and 2, but the speed of the repeat ... just mad (!) . I.e. actually in two times faster keyboard sends repeats.
So it is NOT SOFTWARE problem. It is something wrong in HARDWARE.
Question - Does anyone faced with the same trouble? If so - how to treat it? I do not want to go to service center, because not sure that they will be able to fix something.
P.S. to avoid unnecessary questions about my diagnostics:
1) first I deleted the keyboard driver from the device manager – it did not help, settings were abandoned at some points (I did not yet know the reason) still "lost".
2) Removing Antivirus (it had input filter module to protect password fields at websites) did not help .
3) Then I thought about Logitech mouse and keyboard (Unifying) - but they all work fine! I.e. delay of wireless keyboard K230 is always the same, but the native notebook keyboard returned to default over time. By the way – is it a feature, that native notebook keyboard does not wake laptop from sleep ? WHY?
4) In a moment of deep frustration I decided, and updated to Windows 8.1 (but I did not want to, thinking that it will help – and it did not).
5) Yesterday I updated the BIOS from version E1492IMS.30H to version E1492IMS.30N - really hoping for success, but other than nonworking Wi-Fi I have not received any "advantages ". About Wi-Fi it is another story..
6) Finally, I thought that new firmware can fix something, and in addition updated firmware from 5.06 to 5.07. That solved only the problem with Wi-Fi, by the way, not keyboard EC reset was done.
7) the reason for the problem I found accidentally, because I had a suggestion that turning off the camera (fn + F6) was somehow connected with keyboard. It should be noted that the on/off of the webcam also does not save its settings (white balance, saturation, etc. return to default). But this I do not care much.
Please help, because I believe that I am not the only one who have this trouble and certainly in other MSI laptop models such bugs can be too.

Nope, that's fine.
The MSI rep I forwarded this to said that he has forwarded on-ward as he did not have a GE40 for testing at the time.
He did also agree and seem to think there is a problem with the EC that would cause this issue.
I expect he may post here once a fix has been found.
Thanks!
I'll wait. I think it is clear that the problem goes away when I restart laptop, and also after changing and accepting settings in Control Panel -> Keyboard. But next fn + func. key will again cause default settings

I've had this problem since I first built this PC towards the end of March of this year. Every time I try to play games with Direct X11 enabled I can only play for about 5 minutes before I get some repeating green spots on my screen and either the program crashes to desktop or the PC just locks up. The games that I have played on all vary, Shogun 2: Total War, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, RIFT, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. When I disable DX11 everything runs smoothly and nothing happens. Only when DX11 is enabled.
Here is a picture of what happens http://i.imgur.com/dee0a.jpg
I have RMA cards twice, sent it back to newegg once. It seems to be a problem with this line of cards. No matter what drivers I update, or rollback, or change, nothing seems to fix this problem.
Has anyone had similar problems, or is my only option to pretty much beg Newegg to take it back long after the refund policy and get a new card?

I have been attempting to do that. I've followed the instructions for making the USB bootable. But when ever I go to boot, it just sits at the Windows 98 screen (30 minutes was the longest I waited)
I have already used the LiveUpdate5 from MSI, it says that all my BIOS are fully up to date.
hold "shift" key while booting from the USB drive

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
