MSi GT60 motherboard burned. Help!

Hello, I have a MSI GT60 0NC-004US that I bought on ebay in dec. 2013. After a couple months of having it, the dc jack started getting "loose," and only charged if the cord was in exactly the right position. Eventually, one day I was using the laptop when all of a sudden there was a puff of smoke, and the laptop stopped charging. It still worked perfectly fine except it wouldn't charge. So I sent it to a place to get the dc jack repaired and this is what they said:
Quote
we took the laptop apart and i was taking it apart, i was already noticing that cold burnt smell and i look at the dc jack area and its burnt right through the board. This board unfortunately is not repairable. Once you plug in the dc jack, it'll spark and eventually catch on fire. Another issue is that we can't find this board anywhere on the internet. All vendors are overseas and asking $430 for the board, which is insanely expensive. Please get back to me and let me know if you have any ideas or what your thoughts are. thanks.
Does anyone have any advice? The model number of the motherboard, I believe, is 16F31.

Which mainboard you have? ==> http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=G33
What you have connected to Marvell Ctrl?
Check storages jumper settings attached to Marvel Ctrl.
Mine's a G33M Motherboard v1. The Samsung DVDRW and Seagate 80GB are connected using a single IDE cable to the lone IDE port. The 2 SATA HDD are connected to the SATA 1 & 2 ports respectively.
These are my current BIOS settings for the storage:
-> STANDARD CMOS: All SATA settings (LBA/DMA/SMART) are in AUTO
-> ADVANCED BIOS: IOAPIC Function is enabled
-> BOOT SEQUENCE: 1st-Samsung DVDRW 2nd-Seagate 80GB
-> ON-CHIP ATA DEVICES: PCI-IDE BusMaster is enabled / RAID Mode is IDE

MSI gt60 Bigfoot KIller 1202 problem

Hi, I'm having an issue on my MSI gt60 and some help would be highly appreciated!
Even after the installation of the drivers I can't connect either with the cable or in wifi
(bluetooth seems to work fine).
I had to make a clean windows 7 installation with a dvd that I already had.
I have the Bigfoot Network Killer Wireless 1202 on my laptop and before it worked quite fine. It worked fine also in another clean windows 7 installation that i made few days ago,but not this time. What can I do?
Thank you in advance, good day!

I have heard about connection issues (Messenger, Game for Windows, Itunes and other) with the onboard Killer E2200 Lan before.
This was caused by an old Killer Network Manager version.
The new Killer E2200 driver v6.1.0.395 should solve this.
Download it here:
http://www.killergaming.com/support/Downloads?category=3&model=123&download_type=1&os=7
Also contains drivers for Killer Wireless 1202.
Make sure you uninstall the old Killer driver and application before installing the new.

MSI GT60 ONE Dead GPU or Motherboard?

Hi guys
So I owned MSI GT60 ONE and it doesn't want to boot even into POST. The power button only flash then it turn off again, I remove my battery and only powers up with AC adapter or vice-versa it still the same. Then, I removed the GPU and try running it with integrated cpu it works normally. It boots into Windows, completed the prime torture test even playing games normally. All of the notebook features function normally so it seems clearly my gpu is died.
However what bothers me is from what I know, if a gpu is died it can still turn on and working even though showing no display at the screen or displaying artifacts, but this in my case it refused to boot. My question is, is it the GPU only that died or there might be some problems in the motherboard? Because if I buy a replacement GPU, Im afraid to encounter any problems in the future. Sadly and very unlucky, my warranty is expired last month and I dont have any GPU spare to test it.
Thanks any help is really appreciated

I would contact MSI about this.
>>How to contact MSI.<<
The MSI GT60 0NE isn't that old, it should still be under warranty.

MSI GT60 0ND 675M Throttling Problem (NEED HELP)

Hello MSI Forum
I have 2 year old MSI GT60 0ND with Intel i7-3630QM and Nvidia GTX 675M with 2GB GDDR5 memory.
My problem is focused to all games. After few minutes playing game fps starts to drop frequently under 30 fps.
But after few seconds it comes back to normal state.
I have cleaned fan from dust and it doesnt have any effect. Also running fan on turbo mode doesnt have any noticable effect.
- Never updated bios
- Running Windows 8.1
- Always updating drivers.
- Intel speedstep is disabled, no effect.
I think its problem with CPU throttling but i cant find any thread to help with issue.
Anyone can help me?
Thx in advance!

Hi ijimma,
1. Does the problem happen recently? If so, then maybe some driver or system update has caused the problem.
2. Check the FAQ and see if turning off the HDD power saving function. (http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-977.html)
3. What's the current graphics driver version? (this msi tool helps to export all driver version and installed programs, so sharing the text file to us can let us know better about your system environment.)

MSI GT60 Too much heat issue ! help

i have msi gt60 0nc (windows 8.1 x64 / i7-3610QM / gtx 670m / 16G ram / 1T hdd )
and when i play games the gpu and cpu temp retch 80c after less then one hour of gaming like need for speed rivals
and temp increases to reach more then that but i exit the game immediately to cool the gpu/cpu
my turbo and fan is on .. pls help me is that normal/safe or what ?
attaching some pic
thanks

Depending on what model of GT60 you have, 90C isn't terrible.
If you go much higher than 95C I would start worrying, but 90C seems to be about the normal operating temperature of a newer (Core i7 4xxx series + GTX8xx series combo) GT60. Once you start going above 95C you're going to start throttling very quickly.....and that's not good.
Worst case you might want to repaste the CPU and GPU. This is a rather common problem on the notebooks.

Motherboard not geting past MSI logo display - please help me if you can

Hello all
I have recently purchased a motherboard kit from a very respected retailer so all my components are compatible. It consisted of an MSI KT4V motherboard, an AMD Sempron 2600, a stick of 256MB DIMM, and a heatsink. I have installed them all as best to my knowledge but on booting up for the first time all I am getting is what looks to be an MSI logo screen. I have changed the jumper switches and tried other things but I am unable to get to the BIOS or anything.
Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know of any methods I could take to try and resolve it ?
Thanks

Hello again.
First can I just say thanks to everyone who has posted a reply to me here. I have brought my motherboard manual in for any specifications that is needed, unfortunately my power supply is back at my flat but it came with a chassis I bought from a different company. I know it's 400w if that's any consolation.
Please understand that I am unable to get anywhere near BIOS - literally as soon as I power it up the power light comes on, you can hear the hard drives whirring, the DVD ROM spins, etc. but almost instantly an MSI logo is displayed on the screen and from there I can;t do anything. I am not given the chance to do anything before. Hitting Del does nothing, in fact the keyboard doesn;t even light up at all when I switch my computer on, almost as if it doesn;t recognise it or it doesn;t get as far as reading it or something. Surely there can;t be a problem with my graphics card as I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to see the dreaded MSI logo. I reseated most stuff like the RAM and swapped IDE cables etc. and that seems fine. I am really getting sick of seeing that infernal MSI logo screen !!

Need Help for my MSI gt60 0NE f3 hotkey

Hi guys, i brought MSI gt60 0NE october 2013 i installed games but now i want it back to factory reset. i used f3 hotkey for factory reset.
the question is after pressing f3 I should have an msi recovery manager pop up, but that is not what is happening. After pressing f3 the windows boot manager comes up. Under choose an operating system windows 7 is highlighted and I press enter. then system recovery option pop up (with the list of Repair your Computer,Systems Recovery etc.) instead of MSI manager option.
im looking for MSI manager option rather than system recovery option...

Not much you can do. Opening is pretty much a no go with tablets so a repair at your expense might be the only chance.

MSI GT60 display switches off itself

I have a msi GT60 dominator 870m .... when i am playing games i am always connected to my monitor and tv... sometimes after playing a little while suddenly both external monitors lose display and everything hangs ...... after 3 or 4 minutes it correctz itself .... i think my laptop is throttling or something .... i had my turbo boost on as well .... i noted the temp of GPU which was 90c ..... what can i do to prevent this ? This is so annoying when playing games like LOL, dota
looks like MSI does not play test or something .... what is the use of having GAMING laptop when it cant play GAMES ....
anyways do i need to repaste or something .... i don't want to lose my warranty
Hdmi port connects to my 24 inch monitor and mdp1 connects to my tv... my laptop display is off... tv and monitor are on duplicate mode ...
so when this issue happens laptop display switches on, tv and monitor loses display and everything is in a hanged state ... 3 minutes later ... both my tv and monitor switches back on and everything works again ..so this makes me think its switching from nvidia gpu to integrated gpu for some reason....
My vbios is latest as well 80.04.F7.00.06
nvidia version : 340.52
Intel : 10.18.10.3652.
Is there any fan control software or something

Quote
Hello,
First of all, in order to tell you if repasting will void your warranty, I have to know the country you live in.
I live in USA.

Temps are high, so that's the most likely the issue. LoL and Dota are not demanding games; can you please run Intel Burn Test (single pass) while recording temps (with HWInfo). If it passes, then run some GPU benchmark like Kombustor and monitor HWInfo temps too.
Did Intel burn test with standard and maximum both were successful, Max temps were 93c
Also ran Kombuster for 25 minutes, max temp was 94 c again no issues.

MSI can't test every single laptop that comes out of the production line, can they? At least brands that make condoms don't test every single that is made
Come on condoms come with an inherent risk and a warning that it has a chance to fail , also you are comparing a 1$ item with 1500$ product?
Quote
No fan control available for notebooks, sadly.
There is a custom software for old generation laptops, some fan control utility, which changes the fan speed profiles, not sure if we have one for the new generations.. motherboard is same as old so it may work for my laptop as well but i am not sure ... was hoping if i could increase the fan speed i could get the temps down.

Optical Out problems with MSI-K8NS Motherboard Adapter

I have an MSI-K8NS motherboard which came with an extra PCI mount bracket for coax/fiber digital out sound. I just bought a Creative surround sound system set with digital decoder. I hooked the header into where I believe the pins should go into the motherboard and even have a light at the ends of the cable (seemingly has a signal, I presume). I have no idea how to enable this in software, however. The Realtek software that is installed doesn't seem to have any configuration for this digital out, and I can't find a way to use it. I've searched these forums, but still have no idea what's going on. Could someone please help?
Thanks!
Edit: Ok, so it looks like the SoundManager software needs to be in 8 channel mode for spdif to work. I don't understand that, but at least I got it working. Hope this bit of info could help someone else out!

My best guess is because you are running the default BIOS. Try running with one stick of ram just to start with, so that you have a stable enough system to upgrade your bios to 1.3
I tried running the system with a single stick of ram and still the same thing happens
Quote
did i miss it or have you not mentioned that since your ram is 166MHZ you have changed the memory divider to 166 in BIOS?
When I started the computer up, the motherboard automatically picked the memory modules up as 166Mhz.
To Paul:
I tried to run the memtest86 several times. It starts off for a while, then the computer hangs up as pervious situations. It could just be that the RAM i am using is imcompatible. I may have to invest into Corsair RAM modules.

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 990FXA GD80 audio help

Hello I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but i was hoping anyone with a MSI 990FXA GD80 could help me out please, i am having audio problems with my new motherboard when play a video or some music if i open msi control centre or scan for hardware changes in device manager i get terrible sound distortion, i think its happening because my bios is being scanned but this is the first motherboard its happened to me on, could anyone else with a MSI 990FXA GD80 play a video or some music and scan for hardware changes in device manger while its playing to see if it happens to you, thank you for any help.
p.s i am using the latest v11.5 bios and on-board audio, my CPU is overclocked to 4GHz but it still happens on default settings, thanks again.

Hello i have finally fixed my audio problem i use a wireless usb adapter for the internet so i disabled the onboard LAN controller in bios, i disabled it before i even installed windows so i didn't have any drivers for it,
anyway i have it enabled now my overclocks applied an no audio problems what soever. Uncleblitz check to see if you have you're onboard LAN controller disabled.
thanks for all the help guys
[update]
I just tried control center and it still does it, i checked it by scanning for new hardware in device manager because it was quicker to open it doesn't do it there anymore just in control center, so its half fixed

MSI 915GM4 Motherboard and a P4 s775 2.66/1M/533 Processor - Dont Work

Hello Everyone,
I bought an MSI 915GM4 Motherboard and a P4 s775 2.66/1M/533 Processor yesterday and
assembled it by myself.But when I power it on, it won't display anything nor you can any hear beeping sounds.
So I tried to pull it out from the case to test only the Processor, Motherboard, PowerSupply, Memory and Monitor, but still It won't display nor you can hear beeping sounds that would indicate the cause of the problem.
Later then, I contacted a friend of mine who has a Celeron D s775 Processor and tried it on my MSI Motherboard. Its only the processor that was swapped and nothing else. Guess what? It displays and even loads to windows. So I was started thinking that my own processor might be the problem. But I did not conclude right away that the
processor is the problem and so what I did is I borrowed an Asrock Motherboard (s775)
from the same friend. Now, if this will not work then its confirm that my processor
might be the problem. But I was surprised when it work and still boot up to windows.
Confusion wraps my mind, the next time I started thinking about compatibility issues
and so I visited MSI site looking for CPU Support of my Motherboard and found out that
it should support. Well, to try to resolve this issues I tried flashing the bios for
the motherboard of its latest version updates, but sitll no luck..
Hmmmm.... what could be it? Did I miss something?
Well guys if you could help me on this I really appreciate it.. I don't really know now what move to take.
If anyone has an idea please email me at [email protected]
Thanks in advance...

MSI Ti4800SE and MSI KT4V motherboard incompatible?

Yesterday I bought an MSI Ti4800SE to replace a GeForce2. It booted up fine and Windows detected it and installed the drivers. However, on rebooting, the monitor went blank and there was a series of beeps.
The computer would not start. I tried taking out all the other cards and tried the video card in 2 other computers but all I got was the beeps. I took the card back and got a refund as they had no more in stock.
Is the video card incompatible with the motherboard for some reason? Did I somehow cause the card to die? Should I buy another or will the same thing happen again?
Any help would be much appreciated.
My system is
MSI KT4V motherboard
Athlon 2500
512Mb Kingston RAM
SB Live
Network card
56k Modem
2 hard drives
DVD ROM
Mitsumi CD writer
350W PSU
Windows 98SE
Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for your advice - looks like I need to spend yet more money then!
But do you think I damaged the card by not supplying enough current, bearing in mind that it booted OK the first time? Or was it not damaged at all?

MSI DR-8A burns horrible DVD+R disc!!!

Help,
Does anyone experience the same problem as I do?
My MSI DR-8A burns DVD+R of horrible quality. Note that I am using high quality media like PRODISC03 and RICOHJPN02, but whenever I run Nero Disc Quality scan with my BenQ 1620, I get a load of errors and eventually the scanning stops due to some "fatal" unreadable error!
And yes, I have configured all my hardware correctly... Was using firmware 130D. Updated to 160D and no difference too!

I'm using the DR8-A2 and have experienced sporadic problems when burning audio-CDs (on CD-R media, not DVD) using Nero6. Haven't done any analysis of the discs or anything, but sometime when playing nero-burned audio-CDs in my car CD player, I get increadible white-noise on top of the music usually from track 10 onwards. If I then burn the exact same compilation (from MP3 files) using the Roxio Easy CD creator 5 software the problems are gone. I know it may sound kinda silly, but it's almost like the data hasn't been burned properly to the disc when using Nero. And yes, the burn speed has been the same in both Nero and ECDC. Also, this has happened on several different brands of CD-R media.
