MSI GE70 2PE: How to turn off onboard Intel GPU?

Hi everybody,
According to the system specifications my notebook must have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M graphic device. However, after installing Linux Mint 17 i noticed that the only video device available is an Intel GPU (integrated Intel GPU). When i enter my BIOS, i cannot find any option to disable the onboard Intel GPU, maybe i missed it somewhere. Can anyone tell me how i can disable the onboard (integrated) Intel GPU so i can utilize the NVIDIA graphic device.
All help/hint/tips will be very much appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi Nomko
I'm not sure about Linux (I'm windows based) but would guess that it needs the nvidia linux drivers loaded before the system would recognise the second screen card, the system by default assumes that the intel chip is the one to be used.
Perhaps have a look here for drivers

Hi Blender,
I don't think this is the solution. If i want to use my NVidia graphic device, the Intel GPU must be disabled. Linux doesn't see the Nvidia graphic device at all right now and installs the driver for the Intel GPU as this is set as the default graphic device.
But thanks anyway!

MSI GE70 2PE-410UK turning off bluetooth

Hey, I am not sure how to turn off blue tooth in MSI GE70, It doesn't really say in manual.

it should say in manual, but bluetooth can be disabled together with wifi when doing FN + F button with plane icon other wise you can go into control panel ----> Network and sharingcenter ----> change network connection, from there you should find a bluetooth thing right click on it and select Disable and it will disable bluetooth feature but remember you have to re-peat same thing to re-enable it so it works with FN + F button with plane icon.

New MSI GE70 2PE laptop screen not turning on/potential graphics problem

Hi all,
This is very frustrating for me!
I've just bought a brand new MSI GE70 2PE gaming laptop for my partner and turning on causes the power on light to blink blue and orange - something i'm struggling to find any information online for. The screen remains black with no backlight or turning on. I have tried plugging the laptop through VGA into my monitor and it also says it cannot pick up any signal.
This is leading me to think it is some sort of graphics related problem. The disc drive is ejecting, I can hear the processor ticking along and all the fans etc are on - so it's not completely dead.
The fan is actually pumping out fairly warm air too, when left idle which to me seems a little odd too - I wouldn't thought it would be struggling at this point.
I have no idea what is going on, if the laptop is completely faulty or its something I am overlooking. It's supposedly 'brand new' - well the box was sealed and this problem has occurred from the first time I have tried to boot it.
I've tried running it on battery, purely on AC and this doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any ideas people? This is super frustrating and I don't want to have to get in contact with MSI about this for some sort of warantee job.
Thanks in advance!

Hello hybridoriental,
Since your laptop is still brand new one under the warranty, I'll suggest you send it to the MSI service centers or MSI authorized service points for inspections.
The power light in orange means the system is accessing the discrete GPU. Looks like your laptop stuck in a loop before it started the BIOS. Just make sure you installed the battery and plugged the AC power before you turn it on. If it still doesn't work, it would be better and time-saving to send it to someone whom can inspect and take care of the laptop rather than figure it out by yourself.

MSI GE70 2PE-40N worried about overheating

Hello. I am about to buy a MSI GE70 2PE-40N (http://www.elkjop.no/product/data/barbar-pc/MSIGE702PE40N/msi-ge70-2pe-40n-17-3-gaming-pc#tab-specs) (Norwegian page) with:
Intel Core i7 4700MQ, 4th gen, 2,4 GHz
16GB ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M, 2GB
(Is there more i need to add?)
And i just had these questions about overheating, and how to prevent overheating as i have heared bad things about this pc getting hot, and i have experienced other laptops reaching dangerously high levels.
How would the overheating problems be if i lower the maximum processor state while plugged in to 80-85%?
How would it affect the actual gameplay/fps if i lower it so?
Is it even recomanded to lower the maximum processor state while plugged in?
Do cooling pads even help with the overheating problem? (atm got a Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim Ultra-Slim Laptop Cooling Pad with 160mm Fan (R9-NBC-XSLI-GP)) (http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-Ultra-Slim-R9-NBC-XSLI-GP/dp/B005C31HC0)
Do termal paste help?
If termal paste helps, which type/what should i look for?
And last, which temperature should i aim for? 80C-90C?

The GE70 should handle heat ok when gaming! Just be sensible and play in a room with good temperature and on a cool surface ( desk etc ) Cooling pads can help also!
I would leave the thermal paste.
Hope you enjoy your new notebook its a great machine!

Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just disable it -
Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.
