MSI GT628 - Fn and LCtrl swap

Hello MSI
I recently purchased the GT628, and I'd like to swap the Fn and left Ctrl.
After searching I reached these boards, and I noticed several threads where people have been sent Bios Fixes for this.
I'd like to know if one exists for my laptop as well?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, didn't see that. Its done now, dont know the ammount but i dont have much so i hope this should do it.
There is some Confirmation Code (sorry i am new to both flashing and PayPal). Do you need that code ?
Nope no need those codes. Thanks for your donation.
Working over it now and will send you the request when its done[by e-mail]

Hello, I recently flashed my BIOS which upgrade me from V1.0Z to V1.11.
The flash procedure went fine. Now, forgive me if ive missed something, but I do not see anything different in the BIOS. My question is, now that the BIOS is upgraded, how do i go about enabling the virtualization feature and swapping the FN with CTRL.
Thank you very much!

MSI GT628 Touchpad - Scrolling

Hi all,
I just recently got my MSI GT628 gaming notebook and the right side of the touchpad which is supposed to be the scrollbar isn't working.
Any idea what kind of driver I should install? Just tried the Synaptics one but it seems that it can't detect the more advanced functions. Any form of help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do a Google Search for the driver below.
Some have mentioned this driver works well, you can research it. fsp_8332_all_whql.rar
I concentrated on comments related to a A6000 laptop, but i noticed the driver was used by many with different machines that have the same touchpad.
Below is a copy of some comments on the web about the touchpad.
For those of you noticing how crappy the touchpad is: Google this file "fsp_8332_all_whql.rar" It is the missing driver. It's not as good as a Synaptics driver/pad but it's servicable. You touch and hold a corner to scroll. It's in the mouse driver in control panel after the reboot. - thanks joe221

Unable to enable vt msi gt628

hello guys, I'm having the issue with my msi gt628 that I'm unable to enable virtualization in the bios. I updated the bios, but the updated version does not have any extra options and I need to be able to vitualize windows server 2008 x64 for school. Is there a better bios available or will I have to buy a new system?

what's your CPU used?
have you actually checked to see if its enabled?

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 GT628(-455NL) new memory, doesn't boot

Hi there,
I have a MSI GT628 Gaming Notebook, and 2 days ago I decided to upgrade the RAM modules, because I need more memory for school (need to run multiple virtual machines at the same time on my laptop).
The stock memory is 4GB = 2x2GB Samsung SO-DIMMs, DDR3 PC3-8500 running at 1333MHz and 1,5V (also confirmed with CPU-Z)
2 days ago I bought 2 new SO-DIMMs, 2x8GB Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz 1,5V (CL11)
Normally if you buy faster memory in the same class it should crank it down to 1333MHz and msot of the tiem work normally, but I can't boot up my laptop with this new memory.
When I start my laptop, you hear the fan blowing for a second, then it stays on black screen with only the pwoer light on and scroll-lock light.
I've tested both 8GB modules oen by one seperately, on both slots. With only 1 of them installed it's the same. With the second one seperately it's also the same, and also tested on the other memory slot.
It keeps booting into black screen.
When I put the old stock memory back in, it works instantly, so the sltos are fully working.
With 1 of the old sticks and 1 of the 8GB, it also doesn't work. Same result.
I've reset my BIOS to factory defaults (via the BIOS menu) with the stock modules in, turned my laptop off, and put in the new RAM. Still the same result.
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?
Can't my laptop run PC12800 modules and should I really buy PC-8500 ?
Maybe a BIOS jumper reset/CMOS battery reset would do the trick?
Thanks in advance,
-Wicked Vibez

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

MSI x48c PLatinum and Intel E8600 Problem

Hello, I'm from Greece
My computer Setup is:
Mobo: MSI X48C Platinum (bios version 7.0)
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600
PSU: HEROLCHI 525 Watt
RAM: OCZ OCZ3SOE10664GK DDR3 4GB (2x2GB)
VGA: Albatron 8800 GTS
HDD: WD 300GB SATA
The problem is:
I bought them yesterday because i want to upgrade my system.
I connect them all properly in my case and after i turn the PC on it freeze in the MSI logo screen and cant even enter BIOS Setup.
The first time i turned the power on a message like: "Your previous overclockinn atempt was not succssefull. Press a button except del to load defaults and continue." i do what it said and freeze after that message.
This just the first time, the other times it just freeze on the logo screen. Some times it beeps one time and reset by his own and sometimes beeps four times and then reset. The most of the times it just freezes in the logo screen.
I took everything off and reinstall them. Nothing Happen.
I tried with one dimm of RAM each time in deferent positions. Nothing Happen.
I did o clear CMOS from the back button. Nothing Happen.
I perform a clear CMOS with the old method (unplug power, remove battery, wait for a couple o minutes). Nothing Happens.
I believe the problem is with the bios version i have and the CPU compatibility. I look at www.msi.com.tw and it said that this board its compatible with the INTEL E8600 but only at the 7.2 version.
How will i update my bios if my computer doesnt even enter bios setup?
Please help me. any suggestion. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks you in advance.

Quote from: triangle on 28-August-08, 17:00:43
the only thing i can suggest is to drop in a 7.0 compatible CPU (if you can) and flash the BIOS to 7.2 that way then switch back in your new CPU. A painful process, I know ... Alternatively, if your retailer is friendly they might set it up on a test bench for you and flash it.
Andrew
Like Andrew mentioned, this is the only way out though it is a long painful process.
The other is to get a board that is compatible to the E8600 right out of the box.

MSI 785GM-E51 and memory modules problems

Could anyone help me with one problem. I have motherboard MSI 785GM-E51 and 4 memory modules GOODRAM GR 1333D364L9/2G. But when I'm inserting ALL modules my system not starting (even POST procedure). So working variants - when I'm inserting:
- one module in first (boot) slot
or
- they inserted in first and third memory slots
Any ideas?

It is not motherboard problem, but processor itself - I have AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3,4 Ghz Core Revision C2 and this revision (according to the article: http://www.fcenter.ru/online.shtml?articles/hardware/processors/27650#02) has problems with support memory modules DDR3-1333 Mhz more than 2 modules. Conclusion - either adjust BIOS settings concerning memory timings and memory controller voltage or replace this kind of processor with the same type but with core revision C3

How do I properly setup pin and gate swap groups on new components?

Hi,
I've looked for some documentation explaining exactly how the pin and gate swap functionality works but I have not been successful.
I am trying to get pin and gate swapping working correctly on some digital logic components that I have created (side question - why no modern 74 series logic components like LVC?) as well as RPACKS and some connectors.
Is it a requirement to create a multi-section symbol to enable gate swapping? I can't seem to get it to work unless the symbol has multiple sections. It doesn't work by default for the RPACKs included in Multisim. If it's possible to do gate swapping by putting the pins of each gate in their own gate swap group I would really like to understand what I'm doing wrong.
In the Component Properties 'Footprint' tab you can define the 'Pin swap group' and 'Gate swap group' settings. I have not seen any documentation explaining this and frankly, I'm quite confused by it when using existing 74 series parts as examples. The single section symbols don't have any pin swap or gate swap groups defined and the multisection symbols have only one gate swap group and then put all inputs in one pin swap group and all outputs in another pin swap group.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to documentation that explains how to do this. The help files are quite poor in my opinion - they seem to only be able to point out the obvious. The 'Getting Started,' 'Fundamentals,' etc. type guides don't mention this stuff at all. The 'User Guide/Manual' (both of which appear to be outdated?) do not explain this and frankly don't have very much information about pin and gate swapping at all.
I'm hoping I'm just missing something obvious.
On a related note - I'm having some trouble working with some of these multisection components. When I want to change the footprint or update the component after making a change to the component in the database I can't seem to find a quick way to do this. It seems that I always have to go through a drawn out process of 'Replacing' each individual symbol section. Is there a faster way to do this?
Thanks,
Kleven

Hi Pat,
I'm working with some SAMTEC connectors. I don't expect you guys to have these built by default in the library - they are somewhat custom. But just so you can consider it, we are using the TFM and T2M family of connectors and I'm adding them as additional footprints for the standard dual row headers. I'm having some trouble with the footprint for the TFM screw-down option since it is a very odd footprint, but I'm going to start a seperate thread discussion for that since I really just need to understand how to manipulate Ultiboard to get the desired result and it's really a different discussion.
As for RPACKs, I'm a little confused about how Multisim currently supports these. The Value tab in the properties dialog only lets you set the resistance. Why isn't this more like the resistor value tab? Since the Value tab is modified like a virtual component it's disappointing that it doesn't offer more capability like the other virtual passives. In my limited experience I've seen the isolated-4 resistor pack used the most, but like I said, that is limited experience. It would be nice if some surface mount footprints were added to the master database for RPACKs in the future. 4x0402, 4x0603, and 4x0805, concave and convex, seem like pretty common footprints as best I can tell.
Virtual components work great in a purely physical design because you can easily change the footprint in the 'Value' property tab. With the provided RPACKs and LEDs you can't do that, so I had to create new components in the User/Corporate database. Of course, the LED can't be copied so I had to create it from scratch. But the RPACK could be copied even though it had a modified Value tab, implying it is a virtual component, if I understand correctly. Maybe these distinctions and limitations are well defined but I found it somewhat confusing that there were several common parts I had to either copy and modify or build from scratch.
Since I created those parts, we updated to the PowerPro version and though I'm not certain, I think I can change the footprint in the spreadsheet view. But in the standard version, I didn't see a way to change the footprint without replacing the component.
Also, it seems like changing the footprint does not behave quite like I would expect. If I have a database part which has multiple footprints mapped already, I would expect to be able to choose between those footprints already supported by the database part when I try to change the footprint using the Properties->Value tab or the spreadsheet view. If I need to change to a footprint that currently is not associated with the component in the database, I would expect to have to edit the database part, add the footprint, map the pins, re-save the component, then update the component in the schematic.
Is my thought process making too many assumptions here? I understand that I am one person creating one design in one specific way. So I'm sure I'm missing some usage cases or intended uses of the tool, especially since I haven't taken any training for this software and have tried to teach myself how to use it over the last 9 months. And I have noticed that even for virtual resistors and capacitors, the footprint selection dialog is the same - a selection from the database and setting up a new pin mapping.
As for 74 series parts, seeing the LVC family would be very nice. This is 3.3V-2.5V and seems like the next logical step for lower voltage support. It would also be nice to see some surface mount footprints with the 74 series parts. This isn't a big deal though - it didn't take me long to create the parts I needed by copying and editing from the Master database. And since I'm not using the simulation models, that made it even easier. Since I haven't looked into the models at all, I don't know if that would have taken longer to convert to the LVC family.
I've probably rambled enough for now.
Thanks!

G serie fn and ctrl swap

Hello,
I just got a g560 with an intel i5-450m cpu, 320 gb hard drive, and 4gb ram.
I got this laptop for 599 off newegg and i'm loving it. However, what really irks
me is the placement of the fn and ctrl keys. Because I am a desktop user, I
am used to the ctrl key in the corner. I checked online in places and heard that
lenovo had a fn and ctrl swapping feature thingy in the bios but when I pressed
f2 as it was starting up, I don't see the function or the keyboard section. Is it
possible to swap the fn and ctrl keys for this laptop?
Please let me know soon
and thanx in advance.
edit : subject edited for common issue.

hey,
thanx for the info.
however, as i checked the drivers and updates from
the lenovo driver download place, I saw that there was
a bios update.
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/APR_Driver_List.aspx?CategoryID=67873&OS=Wi...
my bios version is lenovo 29cn24ww v(1.07)
and my smbios version is 2.6
Please take a look and see if this is actually an upgrade
or if it is actually a downgrade. I just want to make sure
cuz I heard a lot of people saying that after they do a bios
update, their comp freezes up and won't boot up. O.O
Thanx in advance. xD

MSI gaming app and GTX760

After latest update for my MSI twin frozr gtx760, when i start MSI gaming app and turn gaming mode i get blue screen. I rly don't know what to do. Anyone else got some bad experience with it?

I have the latest version of the Gaming App. I am using the current driver for this card from the MSI download section for this card. So Nvidia prohibited putting more than 3Gb on a 780? That is depressing and frustrating. I got this card because I enjoy PC gaming on big monitors with high resolutions (not 1080P TV's) and I figured the high VRAM would help run games at high settings on the kinds of monitors I prefer. I was gaming on a 30" Samsung monitor @2560x1600 and now I am using a 34" 21:9 LG monitor @3440x1440. I'm starting to get a bit of a feeling like I wasted my money buying this card. I mean Nvidia is going to poopoo all over having extra VRAM on a 780, the MSI Gaming App won't work for an MSI card and even MSI Afterburner won't read the VRAM correctly on this MSI card.
Oh well, it's the card's fault and the card seems to run alright, but it doesn't seem to be running much better than the 3Gb EVGA 780 that the 6Gb card replaced. I am starting to wonder if I am not getting the best performance out of the card that I should.

MSI P67 GD65 and 1600mhz RAM

Picked up a MSI P67a-GD65 to replace my faulty (and by faulty, not SATA port faulty)Gigabyte UD3P. Anyways. I had a stable overclock of 4.7ghz on that board so I assumed w/ close voltages Id hit that on this board. Ive spent the last 2 days trying to get it stable to no avail. Dropped the speed to 4.5ghz even w/ same voltages and nothing.
Finally I dropped my RAM speed from 1600mhz c8 to 1333 c9. System is stable at 4.7 no problem now. The ram has been used for awhile without any issues on 2 other boards (P55a-UD3 and P67a-UD3P) and memtest checks out. Is there a problem w/ the 1600mhz strap on this board? Ive read other people have issues with certain RAM speeds as well (although it varys). Specs below!

Screw you ELvis This is doz from OCF, was hoping to find someone from MSI chime in on the problem! Getting frustrated. I have some new GSkill 1600mhz c8 2x4gb on the way as my wife eats up the RAM editing pictures in photoshop and bridge at the same time. Maybe its the RAM, but it hasnt given me an ounce of problems yet! Maybe Ill try some 2000mhz C9 that I have laying around at 1866mhz and see if it likes that.
Any more of that and you will have problems you didn't expect.
