MSI GS70 Locking the F3 Features

Laptop: MSI GS70 Stealth Windows 8.1
I can't remember what its called when you press F3 when you boot up the laptop.
So I am going off to college and would like to be able to password everything, so far I have my normal login and the BIOS locked, but as far as I can tell someone could potentially wipe my hard drive by just pressing F3 when booting up.
Is there any way to place a password on that so no one can access it?

Apart from setting passwords did you actually made it to ask in any boot? A bit strange for me as this shouldn't happen. In my case after setting up password, no matter what you wanted to do, it would always ask before letting anyone in (made my step father drive mad as he couldn't check what I do on my NB )
Speak to MSI about this, and if they don't help you with this with simple solution, make a request for custom BIOS in NB section and tell what you need to be disabled or locked. Just make sure you will be able to use the recovery IF needed.

The 10 best laptops: MSI GS70 is the only winner in gaming laptops

Check out "The 10 Best laptops from PCmag.com" and MSI GS70 is the only winner in gaming laptops category. Cool~

Wow, looks like you guys get some nice extras over in Asia. I bought mine here in the USA, and the only "extra" I got was the laptop sleeve case.
As for your questions.....
Turbo boost from Intel is sorta set to automatic. It will boost based on the program you are running on the system. As for Cooler Boost 2.0....I don't remember seeing that on my GS70.
Killer Wireless is always on. On average, I get downloads of 4.6-5 MB a second on Steam. So you don't need to do anything special to get it working.
As for your HDD selection....
I have the 256 GB SSD/16 GB RAM edition, so I keep my SSD clean except for system related programs. The only programs I have installed on the SSD are things like Office 2013 Professional Plus, and smaller programs like the Starcraft Anthology USB. You'll want to install everything on your Data drive, since this was made to store all of your games, music, videos, etc.

The Rise of Ultra Gaming MSI GS70 Stealth

MSI GS70 Stealth
The Rise of Ultra-Gaming-Ultrathin Shell + Extreme Performance[/SIZE]

Hi Eduard
1. when system is under heavy loading, the CPU temperature could reach almost 9x degree, don't worry, it is normal condition and under Intel CPU specification, once it is over the temp upper limit of CPU, the CPU will turn into throttling automatically
2. the NVidia OPTIMUS is an automatically function that there is no way to switch on/off
3. fan noisy when idle mode, normally it should be very quiet because it is dual fans design, if this noisy still bug you, you may find a nearest service center to check this acoustic level for you
hope that help...

Review Conclusion
Quotes: "The GS70 we test today has been introduced to the market for a while, that is why its a bit heavy for this machine to run the latest games. Even though the screen fluency is not perfect, it turns out to be quite enjoyable to play on this thin and 17" screen laptop, only the temperature is a bit high. The battery life is not great, but for a laptop as thin as GS70, we don't expect more. Moreover, this model is a bit old and you know how time will affect this factor."

found another article reviewing this model, the MSI GS70 2QE.
This time it is done by a media in Italy, the xtremehardware.com.
The editor gives MSI GS70 2QE the "GOLD" award and the "Best Buy" award.

Where to buy the MSI GS70 2OD-002US in Europe ?

Hi,
I live in Portugal (Europe), and very excited to purchase this laptop, but... with some dificulties trying to get answers to some questions.
1st the 5 physical local stores listed in MSI website after I click "Where to Buy", all replied to my emails saying MSI doesn't sell laptop anymore in Portugal.
2nd I discovered amazon.com is selling it but not amazon.co.uk.. I emailed amazon.co.uk asking if they were thinking selling it, they forward my questions to amazon.com which basically said "we dont control how much you will pay in Customs".
Some 10 companies in UK replied to me saying they only ship to UK mainland.
Till now, started getting a bit frustated in how can be such an awesome machine in a global internet connected world be so hard to get answers and best way to purchase it without needing to pay a flight to UK or some other country to buy it..
So here it is my original list of questions I mailed trying to understand the purchase process:
1) I live in Europe(Portugal) and would like to buy the following laptop:
*MSI GS70 2OD-002US*
2) Does it exists with Portuguese Keyboard ?
3) When is it available to be purchased in Europe ?
4) Where can I buy it online so that it can be sent to Portugal ? And will it be possible online to choose options on the
configuration ? I heard about 2 configs: 2x SSD of 128GB and a 2nd config using 2x SSD's of 256GB ?
5) Where can I buy it offline in a physical shop in Ireland ? (Since seems MSI doesn't sell laptop anymore in Portugal, I got some family living in Ireland so could be a good family visit + laptop purchase trip)
6) How does work the support in Europe ? In case of malfunction/problem will I have to mail Laptop to the country where MSI have its support center for Europe ?
7) What is the "dead pixel" policy on this laptop ? In case I buy this laptop online and it arrives with "dead pixel" will I be able to return it for replacement ? If no, then it will be better to buy it in a physical store where I can check for "dead pixels" before purchase ?
Thanks in advance ~
Greetings everyone on this form which was kindly refered to me from MSI reply to my email, and look forward to learn some new informations and understand where to purchase, how to choose config, the Portuguese keyboard and so on.
Cheers,
Zen

Model and brand name of the hdd and msata provided with msi gs70 stealth 077

i would like to know which brand and model is the hdd and msata is used in the msi gs70 stealth 077 series laptop.
also can i add one more msata myself after buying the laptop?

just a note hchg, apperently i think msi uses Hitachi and TOSHIBA drives in all of their GS70 so it shouldn't depend up on country since Hitachi apperently is a quality drive so since your paying hige price for laptop which means you get quality hard disk it's not like msi would put WD drive or SEAGATE drive in any of their MSI models at such price.

Battalion M1771-2 vs. MSI GS70 2OD-002US

I'm interested in the Battalion laptop (Version 2 one) from iBuyPower
However, it is a remake of the MSI GS70 high end version
Are there any advantages to purchasing the Battalion? :
1. Is the cooling system better?
2. MSI has trackpad issues... Will I experience this with the Battalion?
3. Why should I pick the Battalion when I could go with the well known MSI?
Please Help...

This is what they call a 'rebranded' laptop.
In most cases, it's actually not any better and is actually worse. Take for instance the Cyberpower iFang series which was based on the GT70. It didn't come with the gold plated sound terminals. Backlit keyboard. Other small differences such as that. But cost essentially the same as the one from MSI that had those features added.
Also keep in mind, you cannot get BIOS/EC firmware from MSI for those laptops, you need to get them from the respective company.....which means you rely on their support.
If it was me (and I'm not saying this because I have a GT70), I'd stick to the MSI laptops. You'll be happier in the end.

MSI GS70 Keyboard Lighting

Hello,
I'm wondering if anybody else out there has this problem with the certain keys in the keyboard not lighting up with MSI GS70. I JUST got this notebook and like it very much, however besides the fan being kinda loud (which I don't really care too much about), keys like F1, F7, F8, F9 , TAB, CAPS LOCK, SHIFT and others are not lit up at the bottom side of the key while everything else is. I'm starting to think this is a problem. Should I get it fixed? Replaced?
Thanks.

Hey, I am experiencing the same problem. I was wondering how you dealt with it. I have sent a support form to technical support and hopefully receiving a response soon.

I have never been able to use the Macmail feature. Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct. Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in. It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

You may have to get Pacifist...

then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Did you know that using the erase feature for stolen iPads can fail? Mine did and was not detected for 10days.

Thursday(day 1):Had an iPad2 wifi only which I rarely used, stolen.
minutes later, pulled up findmyphone on iCloud and put a lock on iPad and then erased the iPad.
Sunday(day4) : I noted websites opened on my iphone that I had not opened.
Monday: Spooked, I went to genius bar was informed that it would have been wiped since the thief had been hooked to wifi and thus the iPad would have been erased.
Sunday(day 11), my iCal has been deleted totally from all my devices (iMac, iPhone, MacAir)
Monday (day12): I go to genius bar with Time Machine backup drive and some magic is worked to recover it. The conclusion was that the thief of my iPad wiped it out. And, " there are always ways to get into the iPad if they really want to with firewalls etc....". And I needed to change my iCloud password (which the first guy did not suggest and stupidly I did not presume I needed to do).
Monday: (day 12) Password changed. OK, done.
Wednesday (day14): I open my photo stream on the iphone and see screen shots of websites dated from as recently as day 10! These of course showed up on my iMac and my iPhone amongst my own photo shots. Talk about feeling violated and failed.
Moral of story: Can not trust that the erase feature works.
Change every single password you have as there is not assurance that a track has not been made.
And, do not have more than one user on your device: such as your spouse as their stuff could be compromized too.

The pages panel is not the place where you see this information. You can customize the Links panel to show all sorts of things, including the page number, effective and actual ppi, and whether the link is OK or needs updating.

Thank you.
Do you need me to upload the bios file? because I believe that the msi website has the 70R archive which made my laptop useless.
you mean you don't want latest version [70S or 70R],
but 70J exactly?

How to Lock the Plug in Add on Tools in Adobe X?

Hello,
I have a folder level javascript with a tool button installed on users hard drives.
Those with Adobe Reader 8 and 9 shows the add on tool button automatically.
Those with Adobe Reader X have to use the steps as follows to show the plug in tools
show tools pane
extended features
Plug in add on Tools
The user has to follow all of the above steps each time a document is opened to click on the tool button.
This can become time consuming when many documents need to use the tool button consecutively.
Is there a way to lock the tool button so the user just has to click the tool button when a document is opened in Reader X?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you

In response to a question about finding the internal name of a custom button (such as one added using a folder-level JavaScript):
The app.addToolButton() method for Acrobat 9 and earlier uses the cName parameter to define the internal name of the tool and posts it to a special "Add-on" toolbar, for example:
app.addToolButton({
cName: "myToolButton",
cExec: "app.alert('Someone pressed me!')",
cTooltext: "Push Me!",
cLabel: "My Button",
cEnable: true,
nPos: 0
In Acrobat X this function will create a new pane in the Tools Panel called "Plug-in Add-on Tools" if it's not already present, and post the button there rather than on the system toolbar or Quick Tools area; but the internal name of the resulting button used by the registry preferences will have the prefix "_legacy:". In this example, if you create a button using the above script and are referring to the button in the Acrobat X registry keys to pre-populate the button into the Quick Tools area, you should use the name
_legacy:myToolButton
However the button itself still has the internal name "myToolButton", so if you try to create it a second time, the script will fail because the name "myToolButton" is no longer unique. Don't use the "_legacy:" prefix in your button-creation script.
Note that in Acrobat X 10.0 you cannot use the app.removeToolButton() method to remove any buttons from anywhere (the toolbars or the Panes), nor can you use the app.listToolbarButtons() function to return an array of all the objects; as the API has no direct connection to the toolbars or Panes. When a script tries to create a new button the Acrobat X API diverts the function call to the Tools Pane, but it's strictly a one-way conversation.

How do I lock the scroll bar on, keeping valid HTML5?

I have a site that was originally created in FrontPage some years ago, and I have now redone it using Muse (not before time, I hear you say!)
There were several pages on the site where the content was not large enough to need to be scrolled on most displays, and some browsers removed the scroll bar from the right of the page when those pages were visited. This resulted in a shift to the right on those pages, which made all the fixed elements move on the screen when going between pages, which I found very annoying.
I fixed it by adding this code to the pages in question -
<style type="text/css">
/* Force Right Scrollbar */
html { overflow-y : scroll; }
</style>
This worked fine and locked the scroll bar on, and I wanted to do the same with the Muse version of the site.
I have added the same code using the add HTML feature, and it still works fine.
However, if I run any of the pages concerned through a validator, I get the error -
Validation Output: 1 Error
Line 23, Column 28: Element style is missing required attribute scoped.
<style type="text/css">
I tried to find out why this was, but all I found was a lot of standards documents which were mostly way over my head!
So, is there any modification I can do to that code to get it through the validator, or do I need to look at a different method of locking the scroll bar on on my web pages?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Dave.

Thanks very much jgrummel and Vikas.Sharma!
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I have now added "scoped="scoped"" to the code, and the validater (http://validator.w3.org) is now showing just a warning rather than an error.
"Line 23, Column 44: The scoped attribute on the style element is not supported by browsers yet. It would probably be better to wait for implementations.
<style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">"
I'm not too worrid about that, as it is still passing it!
The code is inserted on the master page of my site, so it presumably propagates through to all the pages, including those that don't need it, but this doesn't seem to cause any problem.
The site is here - http://www.thedraculasociety.org.uk

EPM Formatting Sheet Issue - Right click on the cell and lock the cell

Dear Experts,
I have come across an issue. Earlier I worked on BPC NW 10 integrated with Ms Excel 2007. I applied a feature of locking the cell linked with specific member in Input Template and Report by going to EPM Formatting Sheet, selecting dimension member (Which I want to lock in Input Sheet and Report), right clicking on the cell under Data Column and selecting the option "Lock the Cell". As I protect my Input sheet and Report, and do refresh, the cell linked with specific dimension member get locked. Hope everyone has used this feature.
Now I have Ms Excel 2013 installed in system. I am not able to find this feature. if anyone has tried this feature in BPC NW 10 with Ms Excel 2013. Please help me out. As this was good feature by BPC.
Regards,
David

Hi Andy,
I am using Excel 2013, When I checked, I did not find "Lock Option". When I was using Excel 2007, then I had this locking option. below are the details that you asked for...
When I right click on cell in EPM formatting sheet, I get options as shown below in screen shot, but there is no "Lock Option"

David
