MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro - Swap CTRL-FN Key

hi, i'm purchase a used laptop yesterday
but this laptop swapped LEFT FN - LEFT CTRL Key
That seems to be a BIOS change
i want restored to its original state
BIOS : E1772IMS.10E
ReleaseDate : 2015/01/21

if this key change comes from firmware,
re-flashing to original 1772EMS1.506 should solve it:

MSI GS70 2PE - Stealth Pro | Audio Drivers / Microphone Issue

So i bought the gs70 stealth pro a few days ago and when i went on skype for gaming, i noticed my headset #1 mic was not working properly. The audio picked up on the mic is extremely low even when i tampered with the microphone boost.
Headset #1: Steelseries Siberia V2 Edition
Headset #2: Steelseries Siberia v2 Edition (neckband)
First i restarted my pc but that didnt do a thing.
I thought my headset broke so I used headset #1 on a different laptop (SONY VAIO), which is four years old.
headset #1's mic was working fine on my old laptop.
Then I tried using headset #2 on msi gs70 and it was working. a few hours later, i started playing csgo with my friends. they said they could barely hear me so i talked louder however that didnt do anything. it seems as though headset #2 was undergoing the same problem as headset #1.
I went onto the Realtek website to download the latest driver. I installed it, restarted pc and it didnt work.
I thought maybe it was not the correct audio driver so i went onto MSI's driver page, inputted all the information for my laptop and downloaded the correct drivers. After the installation, it still didnt work.
So then i deleted the realtek audio driver and tried both headsets.
Headset #1's mic was not working properly however headset #2's mic is fine.
I have no idea what the problem is other than the microphone input jack being messed up.
I am no expert when it comes to computer hardware. Please help.

Yes, the FAQ is for Apache not the stealth, just wonder if you experience the same problem. Anyway, try to unchecked the exclusive mode under advanced tab of microphone properties and chat with your friend in game again. Hop this could help you out. I google for a while and one guy fixed it up by unchecked the exclusive mode. Do not know if this applies to you since I unchecked it and chatted with my friend by skype, he barely heard me. But it would be ok if I ticked off exclusive mode. Strange.

MSI GS70 2PE STEALTH PRO | FAN / WARMTH ISSUE

Hello!
I've just bought myself a new MSI gaming laptop.
After 1,5 hrs by doing NOTHING, the fans starts to speed up a littlebit, and the front right corner of the notebook are getting a littlebit warmer.
I wonder if there is an utility to control the fans of the PC?
It's acting like this by playing spotify, being on the internet and running outlook and some other small programs.
If I start up a game, the fan's really turn on, even though i've placed the notebook upon a few strips of plastic for more airflow underneath.
It should not get that hot or start the fans in a noisy way just by being turned on and doing simple tasks at an early beginning.
Anyone has a clue about what I can do and why this is happening?

If I was you, I'll uncheck the following processes in your Startup (Oppstart) page:
- Adobe Reader and Acrobat
- Dropbox
- HP Digital Imaging Monitor
- hpwuSchd Application
- InstallShield....................(Does this always appear in this page?)
- Send to OneNote Tool
- Skype....................(if you're not always use it)
- Spotify(4)...............(Never used before. Does this application always download/upload something? Like P2P-type BT programs?)
- Spotify WebHelper
- Steam Client Bootstrapper
Most of them are not necessarily being loaded every time you boot up.
Only necessary when you want to use those applications.
So I usually disable those pre-loaded processes.
The reason why the temperature and the fan RPM look not related is because all GS60/70 have dual fans, one is for CPU and another is for GPU.
Dragon Gaming Center maybe only shows one of the RPM (not sure CPU or GPU or the highest of them).
So you'll see the CPU is idling but RPM is still as high as that when CPU is busy.
I remember there's new version of Dragon Gaming Center which shows the RPM info of dual fans on its GUI. Maybe it's only provided in other MSI laptop models. Need to find it.
Thank you for responding
I have now deactivated more programs on the start up boot. I will see how things works out now.
I thought ever1 knew what Spotify was? Spotify is a commercial music streaming service.
Seems like the install shield always appear there, yes.
I can hear the difference between those fans and also the temperature. The temperature of the GPU and the GPU fan will only be activated when I use a benchmark program.
It's only the right front fan that is making this noise. The left front fan is for the GPU and never turn itself on. Just on startup and when heavily strenghtened by graphics like benchmarking or gaming.

Graphic display bug on MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro

Hello,
I have a graphic display bug that appears every now and then... Most of the times, it only lasts a few seconds, but sometimes it hangs bugged and I have to reboot the laptop.
I would have like to post a picture of my screen when it's corrupted, but I can't find how to join a .jpg to my message, and I'm not allowed to post an external link neither!
I have updated my drivers; both for the GTX 870M and the Intel HD Graphics chipset... but to no avail!
I hope someone will be able to help me solve the problem!
Thanks in advance!

GS70 2PE Stealth Pro Direct 3D Problem

Hi guys, I just got my GS70 less than 24 hrs ago. I updated windows, installed Elder Scrolls Online and i couldnt launch it. Screen got stucked at during intro and has huge pixels all over the screen. Sometimes, the message Kernel Driver Display Error comes out at the bottom.
Updated graphics driver. Run game, still the same.
Restore factory settings. Run game, still the same.
Restore factory, update direct x, windows, and driver. Run game, still the same. Installed Bioshoch Infinite, run benchmark, tells me Direct 3D error. Im convinced something is wrong between the graphics card (870m) and the Direct X11 is the problem.
Anyone had this problem before?

How to access the BIOS on the GS70 2PE STEALTH PRO

Hi all,
I recently purchased the GS70 2PE STEALTH PRO, and I need to access the BIOS to enable hardware virtualization, but I am unable to do so?
The laptop starts up in < 3 seconds, and I have tried many different keys with no luck.
How does one access the BIOS?
Regards,
Marius

if your power it on by closing and opening laptop then thats only sleep mode to fully enter bios power windows fully off through windows 8 then press power button and once MSI logo appears spam DELETE button like mad untill you see bios

MSI GS70 2QE-Stealth pro with GTX 970 M. Cant run 3 screens ?

Hi!
Got a GS70 Stealth pro 17" with:
CPU Intel Core i7 4:e gen. 4710HQ / 2.5 GHz
GTX970M 3GB
16 GB RAM
2 x Mini DisplayPort - Running 2 x adapters that converts hdmi from screen to Mini DosplayPort to the laptop.
1 X HDMI - Running now 1 x adapter that converts VGA to HDMI.
I just bought 3 Asus VN247H 23,6" / 1ms / 2xHDMI screens to my new laptop. And on the MSI website it says that i can run 3 screens (when the laptop screen is off)
So i tried with 2 x Deltaco mini DisplayPort till HDMI-monitorkabel med ljud, 20-pin ha-19-pin ha, 1m. And 1 HDMI. But i cant run 3 screens. Even if i shut down the laptop screen.
I also tried a adapter called:
Deltaco HDMI till VGA och ljud-adapter 1080p 0,2m (Vit) from VGA to HDMI but still dont work.. It converts VGA from the screen to hdmi to the laptop.
So now i am woundering if i need a "active adapter" like this one:
Sapphire Active mini-DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI Adapter? or is it something else i am doing wrong ? this active adapter costs around 30 euro so its abit cheep? is it the right one?
I would be really really happy if someone could help me out here. It is for my new company =).
Thanks for your time!

According to that it supports 3 external screens between the Display Port and HDMI ports.
HOWEVER....and I might be wrong about this but....I'm not certain you can use non-active Display Port to HDMI/DVI adapters. What do I mean by non-active? Non-active adapters are passive devices, whereas the active ones will take Display Port and then convert it and provide it's own clock signal as well, which will then allow it to work with HDMI/DVI monitors. This is due to the number of clock generators on the video card board to support the monitors. Most cards only have 2 clock generators for outputs, and therefore you can't just use passive adapters for your Display Port adapters to go to HDMI/DVI.
How do I know this? I used to use (way back a number of years ago) a 3 x 1080P monitor setup, and the video card only supported 2 outputs with clocks, and the 3rd had to be a display port output without a clock. The only way to make it work was to get an active adapter. At the time, the easiest one to obtain was a display port to DVI adapter from Apple actually...I still have it sitting in my box of parts, but it worked very well.
Most likely, that is the true underlying issue, and once you resolve that you will be able to output to 3 external monitors simultaneously.

Is it possible to attach an ACER T232HL Touch Screen Monitor to my MSI GS70 2PE Apache Pro?

Will the external monitor fully display the touch capability of Win 8 loaded in the notebook? Any tips on how to do it? Thanks in advance.

first of all it's called GS70 2PE and not Apache Pro xD secondly um you mean like a touch screen external monitor? or just normal external monitor? then it should support fully resolution yes by using fn + f2 if new monitor is giving black screen.

Desperately in need of help regarding GS70 2PE Stealth Pro fans

Hi
The fans have become unbearably loud lately, as in resembling a plane engine.
I noticed that the fans on the stealth pro is strongly attached to the heatsink (i think, the with the copper-looking texture) and i was wondering if it is safe to separate them, to change the parts or at least take a closer look at, and if it is easily re-attachable.
Thanks

According to the following video, it seems that it's impossible to separate the cooper part and the fan .

I guess that you can use a laptop cooler , clear the fan or renew ec firmware.

GS70 2PE Stealth Pro constant GPU switching with MSI Afterburner

So I searched Google like crazy but couldnt find any other threads with this issue reported.
If I have afterburner running while not playing games(general desktop usage), the power light constantly changes orange to white every second. It seems the GPU keeps switching on and off.
Now this wouldn't be a huge issue however due to this, both fans kick in every 2-3 seconds for a duration of about 2-3 seconds then off again. Its pretty annoying since they go full blast for that bit. Just in general this isn't normal behavior. If I close afterburner down, its fine again and stays white(Intel hd4000).
I read users had issues with MSI nvidia overclock tool on older notebooks but that tool is no longer present.
Any ideas?
Thanks for you help.

MSI Afterburner causes the card to get enabled every time it 'checks' the card to update stats like the temperature, core clock, etc....Of course it's going to work like that.
If you don't want it to do it while you're not playing games, close Afterburner.

GS70 2PE Stealth Pro SSD failure, need Windows 8.1 Disk/ISO

Hi all,
Right, so here's my problem... About 3 months after getting my GS70, on boot up it would go directly into bios, and not see the ssd card. After a couple of on and offs it would eventually detect the ssd and boot into Windows.
I sent the laptop in for a warranty repair, but they couldn't find anything wrong and promptly sent it back saying there was no problem, but, still the issue persisted, progressively getting worse.
After a bit of testing and fiddling and prodding, swapping out the ssd with others which have all worked, I can safely say it's the ssd which is faulty.
Now, this is where my problem lies, I've bought 3 ssd's to take full advantage of the super raid, however, there is no way of me loading windows back on to it as it didnt come with a Windows disk. What do I do? Is there anyway to get this?

when you firstly bought laptop it will have recovery software you run on first boot that lets you create USB recovery, ISO recovery or DVD recovery, so you should put old ssd's back and run software to create one then put new ssd's in and boot into usb to restore windows 8.1 to your laptop
The program you need to find is named "BurnRecovery"

MSI Gaming G Series Mouse not working with MSI GS70 2QE Stealth Pro

Hi,
since i bought this notebook I had different troubles with this mouse (included with the notebook)
The mouse often stutters, lags, goes in idle not only in games but also in Windows 8, causing playing FPS being impossible. The pop-up "USB Device Not Recognized" appers sometimes, such as the sound you hear when you plug/unplug any usb device. All latest drivers have been already installed.
I tried to use another mouse and it works perfectly on the GS70. Same time I tried the gaming mouse on another PC and it works perfectly too. So, it's the combination "Gaming Mouse + GS70" that won't work at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.

Maybe uninstall and reinstall the drivers without the mouse connected? Are you using a USB hub? I had problems similar to what your describing with a MSI mouse while using a hub, before.

GS70 2PE STEALTH PRO keeps crashing with 870M

So I just purchased the new GS70 from MSI and right after I got it, I went ahead and installed the drivers from MSI's website then I proceeded to install Steam and DOTA 2 but I keep running into problem where it would keep crashing after opening the game. Most of the time, I would be able to open it and get to the DOTA 2 loading icon but it would freeze there. I can hear when the game is loaded because of the sound effects and I can press something but there would no visual change, just the logo. There are times too when I would get to the mainscreen but it would freeze also after a 10 second mark. I've tried all the drivers but still no luck for me. Also when it crash, a message saying "NVIDIA Window Kernel Mode driver stopped responding and has recovered" would appear. I also discovered that if you try to open the NVIDIA Control Panel and if you go to Adjust setting with 3D preview option, you can see how the spinning NVIDIA logo would crash there too. Anyone else having this issue too? And has anyone found a solution to this?

This pretty much confirms that there's an issue with the video card itself in my honest opinion. I would really recommend getting an RMA in process....

I have a severe problems with data transfer over usb 3.0. 8/10 attempts leaves external hard drives with corrupted data or hard drive rendered useless, I cant use my external sound card properly due to problems with usb??? in linux i have no issues transfering data etc.
Please can someone tell me if this has been a common issue, iv'e re-installed windows 7/8 etc tried various bios updates, drivers only to find within a few days back to the same problem....i'm at my wits end with it, and cant get proof of purchase, as lost receipt and it's out of warranty I think?
Can anyone help?
Thanks Zax

Hi Gilbert,
Problems are that I have 3 external usb 3.0 hard drives and if i copy files form drive to laptop the transfer slows to a snails pace then the files are corrupt if it copys all the way.
I have Native Instruments audio 6 card and Maschine Studio production hardware, and no matter what drivers firmware updates etc I do, I end up with pops clicks freezes, hardware issues bsod etc... Yet if i boot to my win 7 partition I still get issues but no bsod.
Back to usb transfer...if i boot into linux distributions, i have no problem copying files from drive to desktop etc... Almost 3 months and I can't solve these issues....ive done usb write tests, hard drive tests..etc? Seems this Msi laptop does not like USB 3.0...please someone for my sanity.......Please...HELP! These Usb.problems arent so bad in windows 7 but still happen....just worse in 8.1

GS70 2PE Stealth Pro

Would a custom bios unlock the Nvidia card to enable Nvidia Surround and not have to rely on the MSI Matrix Display?

nope, don't think so
