MSI GT60-0NC Paging File Size Help!

I'm having issues with my laptop (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html#/?div=Overview) after messing with the paging file settings. I'm wondering what the default values are for this particular laptop.
I'm not sure what it was before I started messing with it, but after I changed it my benchmark for 3d renderings (architectural visualizations done through maxwell render) have dropped more than significantly.
While rendering, my physical memory usage is about 95%, my CPU usage is only 4% (which should be between 70-90%), and my Disk usage is 100%. Disk usage must be my problem, because when I check the resource monitor my the system is writing about 10,000,000 B/sec to the pagefile, while maxwell is reading about 13,000,000 B/sec from the pagefile. This read / write of the pagefile keeps my disk usage at 100% throughout the render.
If I allow windows to "automatically manage the paging file size for all drives," it allocates 12288 to drive C: (OS) and none to the other drive in the RAID. Displayed at the bottom is "Minimum allowed: 16 MB; Recommended: 5107 MB; Currently allocated: 12288 MB"
What started the problem is when I went to manually manage the pagefile myself, and moved the paging file to the other RAID drive (D:), and ever since I haven't been able to render properly. I'm trying to isolate my problem, and this is the only significant change I made to this system since it was able to render correctly, other than removing it's ability to hibernate.
Anyone have any advice? My first step was to allow windows to automatically control the pagefile again, and its back on the C drive, but the problem still persists. I also did a system restore to a date before I made these changes, and that didn't help either.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the response.
Both drives in my raid are HDD, and are set to defragment weekly. Defragmenter says it was last run today, and they are both 0% fragmented.
Update:
My issue ended up being a corrupt scene file (for the rendering program), which once I rewrote the scene the problem has disappeared. Disk usage is back to very low, and CPU usage is back to 100% where it should be during a rendering. Slowdown was associated with the corrupt file causing me to hit the limit of my physical memory, which caused the major slowdown in reading/writing massive amounts of overflow to the pagefile.
That's great. Atleast you know what the problem was and know how to solve it next time!

Server 2012R2 paging file size?

What would the appropriate paging file size be for Windows Server Workgroup 2012 R2 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a AMD FX6350 6-core, 3.9ghz CPU?

That article is a little dated - meant for 64-bit 2003. Microsoft has made a lot of changes since then.
The first thing you should consider is to leave it alone. As I just stated, Microsoft has been tuning its algorithms for determining the proper size. In many cases, it works just fine at the default, as the operating system will monitor and adjust.
However, it does not always work, or rather it may create a larger page than is really needed. In a system with the appropriate amount of memory, you can get by with a minimal (2-4 GB) page file. The operating system does use the page file for
some of the things it does, so it does not pay to try to eliminate it entirely. But memory is so inexpensive today, that if you find that your system is not performing because it is executing a lot of hard page faults during times of system load, get
a little more memory and add it to your system.
If you expect to have the system crashing a lot, and you want to capture the full memory dump, then you will need a larger page file. However, I've been working with Windows server since its beginning, and only once have I seen someone capture the
full amount of memory on a 64-bit system. Even then, Microsoft had identified the problem with a smaller page file, but the customer insisted on getting all the memory in dump. So we configured the system to capture the full 64 GB of memory and
Microsoft showed the exact same place in the dump which was causing the problem (user code). The majority of the time, the cause of a crash can be determined from mini-dump that is captured in a smaller page file. If it becomes critical, and you
have to have a full dump, it is pretty simple to reconfigure to capture the larger dump by creating a larger page file.

CONSIDER UPGRADING HARD DISK OF MSI GT60-0NC

I had bought my new MSI GT60-0NC recently in Malaysia. My com is equipped with 750GB 7200rpm hdd, probably sata maybe.
So far I am satisfied and indeed quite impressed with its performance. Who knows maybe after few years my specs will soon outdated and cant cope with my requirements for performance?
I would like to seek for some guidance for upgrading hdd to other type of hard disk drives like ssd or raid-II.
Is any kind of SSD hard drive can be installed on the laptop? Any brand recommendations for ssd or hybrid hard disk drives?
Thanks a lot.

It's really hit or miss with most SSD's for some reason.
I've seen a few people who got Samsung 840 non-PRO/PRO drives have problems, and some who had no problems.
Personally, I've got the super raid adapter and have 2 x Mushkin Atlas Deluxe mSATA 240GB drives in my laptop, and it work great.
I've had a few people with Intel 520 based drives have problems as well.
Personally, I would find what you want and try it out. If it doesn't work, you may have to return it though. Everything SHOULD work, but it's not always the case unfortunately.

MSI GT60-0NC SCM Bluetooth Problem!

I own a MSI GT60-0NC Notebook. I have made a clean install of Windows 8 Pro. After that I installed SCM. But I have a problem. When I run SCM, bluetooth enters an endless loop which turns on and of with 1 second of delay without touching. What can cause this? Should I update BIOS? It will be my last choice though. Thanks in advance

I had the SAME Problem with a GT70 bought on the 13.9.13!
I update BIOS & EC!
Now there is no loop, but i cant activate or deactivate BT. Win8 sasy its on, but no LED!
Think this is a big BUG from MSI.
At the old BIOS version you can uninstall SCM and reinstall KLM, than it works but no ECO/Fly Shortcut.
With the new BIOS & EC the shortcuts work fine after clean install without SCM but no ECO & Fly shortcut. With SCM there is the BT issue and after deinstalling SCM no shortcuts work any more.
MSI PLZ fix it!
Place: Austria
Edit:
I tried it with the KLM & SCM NEW Version from the GT70 Dragon Extrem 2 Edition.......
Same BT Issiu -.-

Crazy File Sizes - Help!

Hello,
I have a multi-part question about multi-page PDFs. Two things are happening to me quite a lot with Acrobat and PDF creation, and I need some help figuring out what's going on.
Thing 1:
I will receive a bunch of scanned music, each page scanned separately as a separate PDF ... and each one sent in its own separate email, resulting in 30-40 emails at a time ... from another user. Each PDF page that gets sent to me tends to be somewhere around 500K. My task is to use Acrobat to combine the incoming scans into a multi-page PDF. The actual creation of the multi-part PDF is no problem. Getting Started > Combine Files into PDF is a straightforward move, and that's what I do. But the resulting multi-page PDF is HUGE. I've tried optimizing, I've tried saving it as a Small PDF ... neither of those things do much at all. I'm seeing file sizes around 5,000K by the time I'm done with an average-sized multi-page instrumental part (about 5-6 pages of music).
A big file size isn't necessarily a big deal, but I have to distribute these multi-pagers via email (that is the only electronic format that doesn't feel like alien technology to the people on the distribution list) and sending these big files in emails tends to be problematic. Slow downloads, file size limits exceeded, etc. ... this big file size thing is really annoying.
I suspect the massive file size is caused by how the initial user scanned in the pages of music, but I can't control what the initial user does; I just have to work with what arrives. Is there any way that I can fix this?
Thing 2:
I noticed that when I used the basic set-up at Fedex/Kinkos and, using a scanner and Acrobat, scanned 8.5 x 11 copies of some music as a black and white document, combining my scans into one PDF as I went and optimizing them, a file that would have been around 6,000 K coming from the other initial user and being paged together by me ended up being 568 K using this method.
When I used my camera as a impromptu scanner and used the CamScan application to take a picture of a document and save it as a PDF, I was getting pretty ridiculous file sizes, 400-500 K a page. Sam issue as with the PDFs coming from the initial user.
What is going on? Is there something in the scanning method that affects how big the file is? Is a flatbed scanner and Acrobat the only way to get small PDF sizes?
Thanks for any help you can provide...

yes it dus thanx so much.. man i dont no y i didnt see that in the first place :p i must be blind

Export file size help...output seems way too big

I have a 12 minute movie with audio, video and stills in it.
Currently when I export it the file is 865MB... I need it to be less than 100 with decent quality. It is a tutorial video that will be downloaded from the web.
Can you please give me some direction on how to do this? On what variables to change etc. I know if I exported this out of Camtasia Studio, it would be around that 100 or less bench mark .... problem is I don't know what the settings for the Camtasia preset are.
I am using the following setup:
Quicktime Format
Summary:
Output:
1400x790, 15(fps), quality 100
48000 Hz, Stero, 16 bit
H.264
Source:
Sequece, 01-OverviewSWKit
1920x1080 (1.0), 24fps, Progressive, 00:12:03:12
48000 Hz, Stereo
Settings:
Video Codec: H264
Basica Settings:
Quality 100
Width/height (1400 x 790
Aspect: Square pixels (1.0)
Render at maximum depth - "UN"-checked
Depth: 24 bit
Advanced Settings
Key Frame every 1 frame - "UN" checked
Optimize stills - "UN" checked
Frame Reordering "UN" checked
Bitrate setting:
Limit data rate to xxxx "UN" checked
Use Maximum Render Quality - "UN" Checked
Use Previews "UN" Checked
Use Frame Blending "CHECKED"

Well, with the Apple H.264 encoder in a QuickTime container, you're a bit limited to the number of things you can tweak to decrease final file size. Using a more advanced H.264 encoder, like the free x264, will give access to many of the more "high-tech" bells and whistles that are part of the H.264 standard. One potential would be to tick the "Key frame every # frame" box and try a few values there, usually at multiples of your frame rate. Key frames are "whole" frames that take up much more space in the final file size, and decrease their frequency might help slightly decrease file size, though it will also affect quality.
Short of changing the dimensions of your destination video, decreasing the frame rate, or changing the bitrate of the video and audio streams, you will eventually reach a limit of how much you can push one parameter or another. You might try using H.264 in the Format (not codec) dropdown; this will give you a bit more control over encoding to an H.264 MP4 file. Unless you specifically need a QuickTime MOV, you might find you get better results with the H.264 MP4.
These are of course just the options in Premiere itself. Once you go outside the castle walls, you can find a whole bunch of other options, though they usually come at a steeper learning curve. The big thing to remember is that there is no free lunch when it comes to encoding; you have to give a bit here to gain there, and it's all about setting thresholds of what you're willing to accept.

Not getting enough performance out of Msi GT60 0NC

Hello there guys! Since I've got my laptop I have been getting the feeling that I am not getting enough power out of my toy. I dont know if its me who have too big expectations about this laptop or it really should be performing better?:( I have done hours of research regarding drivers, graphic setup and not at least overclocking which seems to raise the performance quite a bit but it easily gets unstable. I am using Msi's preinstalled drivers as it seems like they give the best performance so far. I have also installed the modded Firmware from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0 which works better than the original one from Msi. But still, i hear a lot of people playing demanding games on ultra with fps around 50-60. In bf3 I get around 40-60 on High with shadow on medium and post processing off, anti-aliasing off. Turbo is on + overclock. The performance in Gw2 is even worse.
So here is my question: am I expecting too much from the laptop or can I do something to improve it and make it run like a charm? Another question would be if it is possible to change powervoltage to get a higher overclock?
I would very much like to hear from u guys how your msi gt60 is performing:)
Best regards, Mathias Kanstrup

Same here, Gt70 0NE + 680M; overclocking GPU core causes clockdowns so gains are minimal. Overclocking memory is successful upto about 2500MHz but gains are small as the memory isn't the restricting factor in preformance - or the effect is just minuscule. So mostly 2 to 8 % in benchmarks, max.
With extreme air cooling and a modified VBios, it's possible to get up to around 15%......I know this first hand.
I just don't care to do it since there's little point in pushing the hardware that hard regularly. Yes, it's great for bragging rights, but it's not useful for long term use unfortunately.
Overclocking the memory in the GTX675M might help a bit more than in the 680M. I'm not sure, I haven't really followed up on the other cards.

MSI GT60 0NC Erratic Touchpad

I just purchased a GT60 laptop and there was an immediate issue with the touchpad. The cursor moves very erratically, often jumping from one place to another. Control is very limited. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers including the latest synaptic drivers to no avail. I've run the laptop under safe mode and the problem persists. I've also done a full system restore and there has been no solution. I would greatly appreciate some advice as I am getting very discouraged with my new purchase, I'm starting to believe it is a hardware issue.

Quote from: Tiger on 16-August-13, 06:29:08
purchased my first MSI GT60 for business vs gaming due to many of the great features in June 2012 ... exchanged computers a few months later - not functioning properly.
Right now, I am very frustrated with MSI, after doing a lot of research into purchasing this "deluxe" laptop, I am regretting this selection and fed up for the wasted time - which I would like to charge back to MSI for lost productivity.
Not long into the 2nd MSI GT60 started to experience:
a) cursor bouncing around - I don't have time to play "let's find the cursor" and once you find it, play "let's find what words/sentences it changed when it hopped elsewhere on the page".
b) slowness!!! ??? how on earth with 12 G RAM, a brand spanking new i7 processor and 1 T hd - which had NO DATA transferred and stored on it (using external back up and 30 G usb) was it slow????
c) " S bar stopped loading and working
d) intel turbo booster stopped working
e) my on screen keyboard stopped working
f) mouse touch pad nor an external mouse was intermittently working ... when it felt like it, it would come around
g) moving from WORD to EXCEL, the pages would temporarily freeze
h) oddly I couldn't edit documents in WORD that I copied into, so I could highlight and color code.
i) I tried to back up my Outlook emails - system could not find the .pst folder!
I took it in for a 1 year service check - what should have been guaranteed 5 business days turned into 9 days - not impressed.
They had to re-install Windows 7 and "apparently kept it to see if it would act up, of course a phone call would have been nice, except it didn't happen, not impressed.
NOW the cursor has some kind of dial that suddenly pops up AND TOTALLY FREEZES on the page ... no cando anything until "it" decides when the game has caused "enough" frustration. This too is intermittent. All is fine and you're working away and suddenly full tilt stop!
and it just did the NEXT thing that is driving me over the deep end ... the cursor suddenly CHANGES FONT SIZES .... ALWAYS SMALLER to TINIEST and this is where it stops - barely legible on the page and I can't find where the friggin' size thing is to change it or TURN IT OFF!
I have called the Tech twice now for the same problem and I have only had it back barely 3 weeks and I didn't even call him immediately when it started to happen!!
Today I was over the top when he told me to disable the mouse pad and see if that works ... it's a lap top .... if the mouse pad doesn't function, there's a problem.
To have these problems in the first year - it is DEFECTIVE!! and once again the voodoo Font Monster has taken over and I can barely see this script!
Frustration and fed up!
My blood pressure is boiling beyond e
Sorry you had such a bad experience, but I highly doubt all this was caused by hardware.
Did you bother doing anything to try and troubleshoot the problem? Was the CPU overheating? Did you look at the temperatures?
A number of the problems you seem to indicate, really point more towards there being a very bad virus or trojan installed on it. That laptop shouldn't slow down that much, and even my GT70 (which has been flawless) works great and its nearly the exact same laptop.
I really think the problem is not as you suggest.
Lastly, the simple fact that a single user is having a problem like this, and it's not widespread, really is indicative of it being something due to the user and not due to the design/manufacture of the laptop, unless it's a heat problem with the CPU.

Reducing video file size - help!

Hi all,
I've produced an 11min film for my company which has come out at 150mb when converted from F4V to WMV format (which is the format our SharePoint system prefers). However, it's too bit!
So the question is, what can I do when exporting the video from Premiere Pro to ensure it's as small as possible? Adjust the format? Bit rates? etc etc. The frame width has already been reduced to 640 x 340 pixels. I've looked at other posts, but each question is so different.
Apologies, I'm stil so new to all this and I'm sure I'm asking the most basic questions.
Thanks all
Ashley

There are only two things that effect file size, bitrate and duration. Format, resolution, frame rate, etc. won't have any effect.
And this makes sense if you think about it. Files are measured in bits, so...bits per second x number of seconds = file size. Whether 1920 x 1080 or 640 x 360, it's still bits per second x number of seconds.

JPEG File Size Help!

Any tips (or software) on how to reduce the file size of
JPEGs without compromising the quality. I have a flash ad that has
3 screens with photos, but clients needs the .swf file to be under
20K. I can only get it down to 28K.
I've done the following:
* cropped photo down to actual size
* used "Save for Web" function in Photoshop
Any thing else I can do???
TIA!

There is a flyout option in the PS Save for Web dialogue (top right)
it allows you to Optimize to File Size
I'd be looking at that 1st
hope this helps

Reduce File Size Help

Hi
Would any experts out there know how to adjust the default setting of "Reduce File Size" function? I thought it was linked to the default Colorsync "Reduce File Size" Quartz Filter but I found that changing that filter only effect Save As PDF functions.
I've been googling around without much luck.
Thanks in advance.
John

Peter is right. If you want to reduce the size of a PDF you can use ColorSync to create a PDF setting that reduces the quality (and thusly the file size) of the pictures in your document. In fact, Apple's already done this for us - Pages has 3 PDF export choices. But this has nothing to do with the file size of the Pages document itself. Your best bet is to use photo editing software to crop and resize the photo before you put it into the Pages document.

Request : MSI GT60-0NC

MSI GT60-0NC-004US BIOS UNLOCK Request

Dear Svet,
I’m Brazilian and I own a MSI GT60, I bought it at EUA in August 2012.
I’ve searched a lot about GPU upgrades and I’d like to try.
However I’d like to talk with one of the best in BIOS mod, and this guy are you.
I’d like to update my currently GTX 670M to a 970M.
It’s not sure, First I need to buy this card here in Brazil, since there’s a probability that the card fail.
But in parallel I’m talking with you about the BIOS update that I’ll need anyway.
Current BIOS: E16F3IMS.10U
Current EC: 16F3EMS1.414
My GT60 came with Windows 7 pre-installed
Is this BIOS the latest available for it?
Is there any safe way to update the BIOS to the Windows 8 Version?
Because I’ve heard about the BIOS version E16F3IMS.51X and its compatibility seems to be better.
Do I need to update the firmware? Which version?
Is there any way to personalize the temperature x fan speed curve?
I’d like to set FAN speed to max above 75°C.
How much will this cost me?
Feel free to contact me via PM.
I’ll be waiting for you answer.
Thank you very much.
DMTwo

MSI GT60-0NC laptop suddenly shut off, will not turn on again. Please help.

Hi there,
I purchased the laptop back in May 2013. Today I was using it and I just launched a game on Steam when suddenly it turned off immediately. It wouldn't boot back up again. I tried pressing down the power button for 1 minute (without AC power) and then connected the power supply and tried to boot but it would not.
It did not overheat and I opened the bottom and cleaned all the dust to be sure. The battery is fully charged. I tried booting again but it wouldn't work. I live in India and I purchased the laptop in Kuwait. Seeing that there are no MSI service centers here is worrying me. Anyone had a similar problem? Any solutions?

I just had the same problem. The power button flashes white for a sec, but nothing starts up. The disk drive wouldn't even open, so it's probably a fried motherboard. I just sent mine in for RMA, so it'll be a while before I get mine back. I live in the US though, so I don't know how you're going to get service.
Not much help from me, but sending it in is probably the best solution. As for where, well, I can't help you there.
