MSI GE60 2PE DVD Drive problem

Hello. I've bought a new GE60 2PE for Christmas and today I received it. After installing Windows 8 I inserted the Driver's CD that comes with the laptop and everything worked fine, I installed the LAN (Killer) drivers. A few minutes later I tried to install more drivers but to my surprise the computer couldn´t read the CD anymore. I tried to reinstall windows but the problem is still there.
Any advice?

I've cleaned the lens again and look like this time it worked. I'll keep the post updated if it starts to fail again.

have you tried disabling creative cinema software? and see if issue remains? since i noticed that could be cause of mine doing no noise some times in windows and such.

FPS / Stuttering Issues (Overheat , Speedstep Issues ? ) MSI GE60 2PE APACHE PRO

**EDIT**
Unable to post direct image links , please ad HTTP:// before links
Good evening Fellow Gamers and Adepts.
I come to you tonight with a serious doubt , which has rattled me for a while , and after some intense troubleshooting i have came up blank.
Here's the deal , as stated , i have a MSI GE60 2PE apache Pro
Now , playing cs go has been the bane of my existence, i am aware there are heating issues with this laptop , but those have been fixed by a Thermal repaste, a cooling pad and the backplate removed.
Now i have no more throttling of CPU , and GPU appears to handle fine aswell; the thing is i keep having MASSIVE lag spikes in CS:GO , and apparently they are being cause by CPU issues.
Image for clarification .
(Standart situation , notice the relative low fps for a old game)
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80
After a few seconds the following occurs
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#1
Notice the fps drop and the CPU frequency percent alert in game
another shot of this in console so you can see the several occurrences
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#2
now keep in mind that these are the lowest game settings, in Fullscreen windowed mode , if i even CONSIDER putting it on standart fullscreen i get unplayable jitterness and fps that range from 10 to 80 , all in a second.
Now , as i have stated i have fooled around and disabled speedstep in the bios , meaning that the cpu is always at 100%, seeing i have removed the backplate , throttling is not an issue as IXT (Intel extreme tuning) can attest.
note aswell the "active core count" spikes to 4/3 in the exact moments of the stutters, meaning that both problems should , in theory , be connected .

Details of IXT
gyazo.com/1f03a344b9ac2642b1a885ee0a8ea078
can ANYONE give me an ideia of whats going on ? i rather enjoy playing with games with friends , but this is driving me up the wall..
Lastest NVIDIA / Laptop drivers installed ; Bios Updated and EC firmware aswell.
Thank you for your time guys x)

DVD drive problems : should I buy the new iMac ?

Hello, being new to these discussions, I don't know if this question was answered before.
My last iMac's DVD drive stopped working after 3 years use. And from reading the discussions, this problem seemed quite common.
But 3 years is not bad, considering the posts talking about the DVD drive not working on NEW iMacs.
Does anybody know if Apple is going to do something about this soon ? My computer is a working tool, and I cannot spend time or money on repairs all the time.
Thank you.
A Mac user since 1985

+"Well, since nobody has an answer, I suppose I will wait until I no longer see the DVD drive problems on the discussions."+
That might be a while. I bought my iMac Oct. 15 and the DVD drive is already not responding. Backing up files, I had burned 2 DVDs from the same package, Toast says this one is a CD-RW and unwritable, and makes a noise like it's trying to eject it but nothing happens. Disk utility says the DVD drive is empty and nothing shows up in the Finder. Using Terminal (drutil eject) and starting up with the mouse button held down makes the same noise as trying to eject it in Toast, with the same results - nothing.
Still trying to find the receipt to take it back & get it repaired. I sure miss the hole for the paper clip.

Overcharging on msi ge60 2pe

Is it okay if overcharging my laptop that is msi ge60 2pe?

Btw, after 2 years my battery wear level has dropped from the 4% as "new" to 7% now. Not bad at all.

Msi GE60 2PE 's dragon shield protector

hello there,
a few days ago, i bought an msi GE60 2PE, and it was great
however, me and people in my class room accidentaly scratched the dragoonarmy shield (on the laptop's back) and the protector sticker kinda peeled off abit.
1. will the dragon shield be safe without that protective sticker?
2. is there anywhere where i can buy more of those stickers?
thanks :D

Quote from: JakeSully;114457
well it depends i think it's made out of plastic so i think it can be scratched easly but if you take good care of it making sure it's in a cover and so whole laptop it should be fine without being scratched
is the quality above, same, or below the shiny apple logo on the back of macbooks? (for comparison)

MOVED: Extremely Low Performance - nvidia gtx 860m - MSI GE60 2PE-489XPL

This topic has been moved to GAMING Notebooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=255963.0

Have you tried the official graphic drivers (both Intel & NVIDIA) from MSI?
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE60-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-driver
Select your OS and proceed to download them.
Usually Intel & NVIDIA drivers are generic and they won't support some OEM machines which were equipped with some specialized graphic cards quite well. Sometimes workarounds and fixes are missed or not patched in generic drivers after some periods so they may cause some problems.

Extremely Low Performance - nvidia gtx 860m - MSI GE60 2PE-489XPL

Hi,
I've got problem with my graphic card. I have tried to upgrade my video drivers(to most recent one) with nvidia experience, and it showed me a critical error (I dont know if bad performance is becouse this error, or error was an effect of something else). Then all games became laggy, I cannot get more than 10 fps in games like dragon age or farcry 3 (before it worked just fine), when I'm doing 3dmark test it shows me:
3DMark 11 - 850 pts (700 from graphic performance, 4000 from physics);
3DMark Vantage - 17000 pts (so quite good, as it should be)
I have tried doing 3DMark 11 tests on different battery mode, with or without a/c connected, and after changing the drivers, always the same. I have reinstalled all the drivers and everything what is connected with graphic card (I coudnt reinstall directX 11), I have changed global settings of nvidia drivers for high performance (I set 860m as my main graphic card). Ive made clean install of drivers. What should I do next? What can I do next? I've bought witcher 3 and I can only look at it
My laptop: i5-4210H (2.9 GHz, 3.5 GHz Turbo, 3 MB Cache), 8gb DDR3 (1600 MHz), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2gb, Intel HD 4600, Windows 7

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?

PC does not boot from MSI DR4-A DVD drive

Hi,
I've just bought a NetVista P4 1.6-256MB-40GB PC with an IBM branded LG CDROM. Booted fine from the CDROM drive.
I've replaced it with an MSI DR4-A DVD+/-RW drive, but I am unable to boot from it. It is the only drive on the 2nd IDE flatcable, and set as master. I've tried a new IDE cable as well, to make sure it wasn't a cable problem, no luck.
The DVD drive is recognised in the BIOS, IDE 0 is the 40GB harddisk, and IDE 2 is the CD/DVD-ROM. IDE 1 and 3 are not installed.
However there is no way I can get the system to boot from CD (or actually the DVD drive).
Windows XP is starting up fine as well from harddisk. It recognises the IDE/ATAPI DVD drive, says its enabled and all good. A drive name is assigned to it (E:, the Primary and Secondary IDE devices in the device manager list seem all to be fine).
However when I put a CD (Audio or Data) in it, it just says no volume, enter disc. Basically I can't use it to boot, nor can I use it once the OS is up and running. If I put the MSI DVD writer back in my external firewire case and connect to it, it works fine.
Have deleted and reinstalled the IDE/ATAPI driver without success. I've installed the latest IBM NetVista BIOS version 46AUS (of april 2004), but that had no effect either.
Any ideas? Or is the drive just incompatible with the IBM NetVista PC?
Regards,
Niels Roskam

Test the CDROM in another system and see if there's any problem.
Try setting it as Master drive using the jumper even if it's a Single drive on the IDE controller.

Msi ge60 ond graphic drivers problem

I installed new windows on msi ge60 ond and first intel vga driver and then nvidia driver and the nvidia driver doesnt work |Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)|.

MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
What ive done to come to this conclusion:
- Reinstalled Windows twice,
- Replaced CMOS Battery,
- Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
- Moved CMOS jumper,
- Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
- Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
- Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
- Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
- Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
P.S.
A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.
