Msi ge620 instability/won't turn on

Hello,
here's my story and i hope someone can help me out!! because ITS VERY COMPLICATED! and i cannot diagnose the main issue!!!!!
i have been having an issue with my msi ge620 for almost 3 months now, at first i thought it was a heat problem ,and then i started to believe its an electrical issue .and now i think its the motherboard dead or dying .. but sometimes my notebooks turns on and can work normal and get into games but might turn off after 10 min or 1 hour gameplay despite that the heat doesnot pass 85C , but usually in winter is less than that
my current warranty is invalid and 2 years already passed this summer, because i bought this notebook from kuwait , and i am currently in egypt, i couldnot send it back to msi for maintenance via shipment in order to check the issue,
because firstly i dont know how exactly to send it back there or to europe etc..
and secondly cairo is not a safe place to do so..or to search etc and to ask around despite that i asked most technician or electronic shops and i am not certain if there is msi in egypt !? ,, and i dont want to handle my laptop to a technician here because i had alot of problems with them and especially stolen hardware or replacement of hardwares without notifying me .. and especially with gaming consoles..
and thirdly i couldnt travel back earlier this year because of university etc,, anyways it doesnt matter because i already opened the notebook so i thought of seeking help here from experienced people.
this whole issue started when i was playing guildwars 2 suddenly during the game my pc shuts down, so i realized it was a heat problem and then
i did some googling early that month and believed it was really a heat problem especially that i could see dust inside the fan and couldnt reach it with my electronic vacuum and was worried about the warranty if i opened it but latter that month i realized i couldnt send it back or travel etc.. so i have opened it and  started cleaning it and of course it was full of dust, and i did it by carefully watching videos and reading guides etc,,, and i am certain i did it correctly it worked perfectly afterwards with no issue at all FOR ANOTHER MONTH~! and also to note that i used to open my old desktop and replace parts or cleaning it but never did it before with laptops
and that made me realize it was a heat problem
and then later that month the issue reappeared so i went to clean it back again and it worked fine but afterwards it reappeared AGAIN and started to shut down! but this time when i opened it , it had no dust at all! so i gave it a rest, and i realized my pc was shutting down only after 6-8 hours of gameplay! and i have to mention its hot here , but i usually play with my home fan on or with my air conditioner on to cool the room
so i started giving it rest each 2 hours, and then one day it stopped responding and it wont turn on and i knew this would happen sooner or later..., so i didnt use it for a while maybe 3 days or so ,
and the next day it started again after holding shut down button for 30 second!!! i was really starting to get angry, so i did google search and i found that some guy had the same issue as me and when he replaced his electrical cable cord it worked normal, so i started to check how i can order from outside for replacement particularly from usa.. and i found a company called avadvancemax and rakkuten and also amazon that has a replacement for my discontinued msi product but the problem it kinda takes over a 1 month for the order to appear in egypt and i am certain that it will take longer with whats happening in the streets, so for the last two weeks it appeared that i cannot order from outside for certain issues , so i started to try to repair it until i can place my order for replacement,
this is what i have tried so far and it kinda worked out well but for a while only
hold power button for 30 seconds. and this brought my notebook back to life
remove power plug for 1minute  then try again
remove li-on battery for 1 minute then put it back in
start the notebook by battery and then put the plug in and it worked
play with battery only or use laptop with battery only and recharge with cable cord
and this made me believe it was electrical problem , especially that my plug looks like one from UK  which is usually used in kuwait and i convert it to european standard plug which is used in egypt
BUT! it only works for my notebook if i want to use the internet or watch videos etc,,, IF i decided to play a game such as the last remnant it shuts down, but if i play a very old game like final fantasy vii it works without shutting down .
and yesterday i played the game such as last remnant for almost 45 minute to 1 and half hour in very high graphics despite that its 2009 game and then it shuts down ,
i also bought a cooling pad just recently and started using it whenver i used the notebook , and notebook fan inside is working perfectly
 and i also thought of replacing thermal paste but i am not sure if that will help since it wont turn on , and i am not sure if formating the pc would help, since it usually starts and shuts down on windows logo but now it wont turn on at all
and what made me post this today after all this experimenting and instability etc.... ,
is because;
today i tried to start my notebook from the battery and it wont start all and neither from the main cord plug
and when it starts its shuts down very quickly less than seconds,, it used to happen before but usually it would start if i used the battery only!
and now when my battery is plugged in , and the cablecord is also plugged it , it seems that the battery is charging ... 
i am really sorry for the long post but anyways as you can see its really weird and complicated issues, and i never overclocked it but i usually play in high graphics etc.. and maybe it consumed too much power from nvidia perhaps ? i usually use it for maximum graphics and sometimes i use it for high performance only
i cant specify my notebook nor  i can get dxdiag because my pc wont turn on but this is my notebook copied  from  msi website

*** note:
the same issue happened to my xbox 360 and it completed wont turn on and the issue by then was the cable cord , and then it worked out well after i replaced it and afterward my xbox 360 died... despite the new cable cord
and another note is that here in egypt and especially before the military coup that happened, usually the electricity here turns off suddenly and it really made me worried that it caused both my pc and xbox to fuse .. because they both faced the same issue..
and i never had this kind of issue in my 10 years old desktop in kuwait which is really making me believe its electricity issue
or maybe motherboard died..
and thank you in advance!

now after the testing, i noticed my laptop won't turn on even with  the battery only and doing the 30second shutdown rest
you mean its doing at his own 30 seconds On, then shutdown for 30 seconds and repeatable in that way?
that hapends if you use battery only?
or its doing the same if you leave ac charger only?

  • MSI GE620 can't boot to windows after installing CoreCenter 2.0.6.8

    I have made a very huge mistake by installing an overclocking software without knowing anything about overclocking :(
    Here is what I have done
    - I installed CoreCenter version 2.0.6.8, after the installation finished it ask me to reboot the system, so I reboot.
    - First my system won't shutdown it tell be that S-Bar (an toolbar that come with my GE 620 laptop) prevent me from shutdown, so I hit force shutdown. Then the system started to shutdown but it stuck at windows logo (Shutting down screen) so I hold down the power button to force turn off
    - Windows gives me an option to boot into safe mode (because I hold down the power button and it is unexpected shutdown), I hit start Windows normally
    - It goes into a Windows logo screen like normal, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the Windows logo screen. At this time I tell myself "OMG what I have done!???"
    - I try most option in a boot option (not sure what it called, it's a menu brings up when you press F8). I tried boot into safe mode, safe mode with cmd (both stuck at loading disk.sys), repair system, enable low res (640x480), last known good config, Directory service restore mode and debugging mode. None of them are able to boot.
    - I grab a Windows 7 Ultimate repair disc that I have created long time ago. And.... "Oh no! It even cannot boot into a repair disc!"
    - I give a Hiren's BootCD 15.2 a try. I boot Mini XP from that disc and..... It can't even boot XP from the CD.
    - Ok Ok, maybe it mess something with BIOS setting, I press DEL into a BIOS setting (I believed) and hit restore all setting to default. Unfortunately, my system still won't boot.
    Any idea of how I can uninstall this CoreCenter or any clues that what it have done to my system?
    The only thing I know for now is just re-installing Windows, but I need to backup some data in C:/ first. I think I can install windows without formatting and backup some data and re-install it with format.
    My system information
    MSI GE620 laptop (All of hardware is stock, I didn't change anything. Just install extra 4 GB of RAM)
    CPU: Core i7 2630QM
    GPU: nVidia GeForce GT 540M / 1 GB DDR3

    Having not yet installed Developer 6 on my own system, (still running most recent 200 version), I can't be exactly sure. However your problem sounds a lot like the problem I encountered in trying to get my Dev 2000 install to connect.
    Here are some things to check:
    Is your listener running?
    Is your listener properly configured to look for your host machine?
    Look in the Oracle Net 8 Assitant utility and see how many listeners have been established. This is where my problem existed. I had 2 listeners. One was trying to connect to my loop back address (127.0.0.1) and could not. The other was properly configured for my host address but would not run because of the failure of the other. Once I removed the listener the was using the loop back address things began to work.
    Make sure you have the appropriate alias set up through SQL Net Easy Config and/or Net8 Config.
    Thats all I can think of for now.
    Hope something I said will help.

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

    K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts.  Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

    PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
    By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
    Now what?

  • GT70 won't turn on anymore

    After suddenly turning itself off last night while running a benchmark, my notebook won't turn on amymore.
    At the time it was running on mains power without battery in.
    Ive tried disconnecting everything and then  running on battery and was unsuccessful.
    Pressing the power button will light it up for 1 second and i can hear some sound, but it then immediately goes dark and quiet again.
    It is still able to charge the battery though
    Any ideas if i can still fix this or is this notebook gone for good?

    Hello,
    I have a GT70 too and it was with the battery and plugged on AC and it shut down while playing Skyrim. Since it's out of Warranty i opened it and found nothing weird or "smelly". I too have the power button lighting up for one second and fan launch sometime but stops immediatly.
    Did you contact MSI to know if they could repair it ? Or do they not repair thing out of warranty ? Because at the price of the laptop, after 1year and a half i would love to have it repair even if i have to pay something.
    Hope you sorted out the problem. Because more than 1K laptop for less than 2 year is not good :(
    I tried to call the number of the support on the "support MSI page" and it said that it's closed "Today as of 30 May 2013 and to call back tomorrow". I hope they just forgot to update their message and that the French support is still active. I'll try to contact them again tomorrow.

  • [MSI-GT683 R] Won't Work Properly

    I have this problem in my Laptop MSI GT683 R It won't turn on beyond the Initial Start up and automatically restarts after a while(Doesn't read the windows screen) anyone knows how to fix this? I can't even use Del or F3 or Alt F10 :/, If someone does please help

    You meant the laptop cannot boot up properly and will reboot again but cannot go beyond the windows welcome screen?
    If there is new device attached to your laptop, Maybe a new SSD or memoory, remove it.
    If there are new update or drivers installed recently, remove it and roll back to the original version when you can log on windows. Or go to save mode to delete them.

  • Computer won't turn on HELP!

    Hi,
    My computer won't turn on after a few hardware swaps I did.
    Parts :
    MSI Z77 Mpower, i5 3570k @ 4.0 Ghz, ATI HD4870, Gskill sniper low voltage 2x4gb 1600Mhz, Samsung 840 series 256gb (os), 2x ST4000DM000 (raid 1).
    So here's what I did. I shut down the computer, I disconnected every wire with caution to wait for CL_CMOS LED to turn off before pulling the cord. I then switched my ram for Gskill Ares 2x8Gb 1866Mhz (occupying DIMM slots 2 and 4, same ones as my previous ram sticks) and switched my GPU for Asus R9 280x DCUII.
    I reconnected everything, CL_CMOS LED powered on. When I pushed the power button, nothing. I pushed and pushed again but nothing happens. I noticed that CL_CMOS LED turns off after I try to push the ON button on my case. When I switch the power off, the LED remains off until it flashes briefly and turns off again.
    I've tried putting my old parts back in 1 by 1 but it won't turn on again.
    Please help!
    edit : old ram timings (CL9-9-9-24, 1.25V) new ram timings (CL10-11-10-30, 1.5V)
    edit2 : The lights on my new gpu's pcb were lit during this struggle. Power could come from the pcie adapters though.

    As in Reply #1, keep that configuration and use the switch on the mainboard over to the other BIOS chip. For some reason, it sounds like the one chip may be corrupted or maybe the PSU has become faulty. Double check the security of the 24-pin and CPU power 8-pin connections.
    Thanks for your help. I fixed the problem. I am a bit ashamed to say what was wrong but ... the 24 pin connector was loose on the psu side.
    I figured it out after 2 days of disassembling/assembling computer and testing components.
    Thanks for your help.

  • PLZ Help. PC won't turn off because of EAX Mod

    Help! Ever since i installed my X-Fi Fatalty, when I go to turn my computer off, it says now ending EAXModule. After that, the computer won't turn off, but I can't do anything because it says the window station is shutting down. It is very annoying because all my settings aren't saved and I have to turn the computer off manually.
    My system:
    Athlon 64 4000+ OCed to 2.64 GHz
    Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
    2GB Kingston Hyper X
    2 MSI 7900GT's in SLI
    50GB Western Digital Raptor
    Creative X-Fi Fatalty
    Antec 550 Watt PSU

    I'm also having a similar problem now, however, if I wait a minute or two the system does shut down. I'm using an ASUS M2N32 WS Professional board, with the my X-Fi Platinum card in the second PCI-X slot; I couldn't get it to work at all in the board's one PCI slot, and the first PCI-X slot has my RAID card in it (Areca ARC-0). My GeForce 7900 GTX is in the second PCI-E slot, since it's too big to fit in the first and leave room for the RAID card.
    For all that, the sound card, video, everything seems to work perfectly except for this problem with the EAX module at shutdown. It's very annoying. I've tried stopping CTDetect from running at startup, I've tried completing the registration. Nothing seems to work, but I want my Creative applications. Any ideas?

  • GX740 monitor won't turn on when lid is opened and weird HDD specs?

    This is the second GX740 I have received after returning the first one due to a defective hard drive.
    I have changed all the power options so that closing the lid does nothing except switch off the lid. However, when I close the lid and reopen it, the screen won't turn back on. The system itself is still on and working though (ie. cpu running, harddrives running) but its just the screen that won't turn on. The only thing I can do is hit the on/off button, which I have set to go to sleep. The funny thing is that when I hit the on/off button again and bring the pc out of sleep mode, the screen will start functioning normally (ie. when I close it and reopen it, the screen will turn on) but if I switch it off or restart it, then the monitor will not turn on when the lid is closed and opened again.
    Also another very strange thing I noticed is that although my harddrive is a 320gb 7200rpm WD drive, the model number in Device manager is WD6400BEVT - which I'm guessing is the number for the 640gb drive?! This hasn't caused any problems so far but it seems very odd to me and I am just wary of complications in the future as I returned the first GX740 I got due to a defective harddrive
    Also, I have updated windows 7 completely.
    Any ideas?

    Please consider taking a look at this faq article: http://support.msi.eu/faq/index.php?sid=446722&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=188&id=115&artlang=en
    It does seem the same issue and for that you should update the graphic drivers and VBIOS. You can find them here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=GX740&table=download
    Vbios is under Firmare and VGA drivers under Drivers.
    Good luck.

  • GT70 0ND-444US Won't turn on, probably mobo issue.

    My laptop suddenly turned off and it won't turn on, it's like dead. I tried some reset procedures (battery, 10 sec. power button, etc) but they didn't help. My guarantee has expired too. I will check it detailed but I think the problem is motherboard. And I found some MS-17621 on the internet but they are too expensive (starting from 300 dollars); does MS-17631 fits to my model (GT70 0ND-444 US) because it's price is 150 dollars. The 17631 is for the GT70 series too but I can not sure about compatibility. I live in Turkey and won't trust the authorized service (there are many complaints about them), and they want money for only checking problems  .

    Have you tried to turn it on with the battery removed?
    Sometimes on rare occasions a battery could die and short itself out in w way they if it is connected to the laptop even with the AC power cable plugged in it will act like the laptop is dead.
    Rare chance but worth a try if you haven't already done so.
    Another way for you to try is remove bottom cover and look for a CMOS battery if you find it ant it's access able where you are then disconnect it for 5-10 mins, also make sure AC and other actual battery is disconnected as well once 5-10 mins has been put cmos battery back and connect AC adapter and press power button if lucky your laptop will start and show MSI logo again sometimes bios chip hangs and stops responding so motherboard wont start but doing this procedure will actually power bios chip off fully and so

  • [Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

    Hello, my name is Bryan.
    I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
    I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
    Any help?

  • My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

    Hey Thermali,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
