MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues
I am having trouble with my HDMI port on a brand new MSI GT70 2PC-1044US . Whenever I plug my HDMI cable from my notebook to the TV, after a few minutes (5 - 20 minutes), my fan will start reving at around 5k RPMs and sounds like a jet engine. When this happens, according to MSI Dragon Gaming Center tool/monitor, the GPU temp reading hits 255 degrees Celsius, which is clearly a glitch. I used another monitor, msi afterburner, and when this HDMI problem happens, this tool reads a normal 40 degrees Celsius.
Here are the things I have tried so far but the problem keeps reoccurring:
1. Called MSI tech support, sent me the link to the newest BIOS and updated it
2. Called MSI tech support again, claimed the HDMI is controlled by the intel graphic controller, and they recommended that i update intel drivers (every software tool on my notebook says it's the NVIDIA GPU that controls the HDMI port /shrug???), so i did this as well.
3. Called MSI teck support again, they suggested I send the notebook back to MSI so they could take a look at the hardware. I did not do this because I did not trust the tech guy and did not want to wait a few weeks to get my notebook back
4. Luckily, the store I bought my notebook at was nice enough to replace my notebook for a new one. I got home, tested it, and the same thing happened. So I think we eliminated faulty hardware.
So now what? What else can I try?

have you done EC reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
can you try to plug the HDMI into your dell screen[insteal of sharp TV] to check if the same issue will hapends?
Install latest Intel GPU drivers from: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics
then retest
-Yes, I did the full EC reset. Once the EC flash was done, I removed the power cord from the back and the battery and let it sit for a few minutes before restarting.
- My Dell monitor is old, and does not have an HDMI port, but I will try a different cable on a different TV.
-I already have the most recent intel graphic controller drivers, this one of the things the MSI tech support guys asked me to do by phone

MSI GT70 2PC Dominator USB 3.0 Issues

Hey folks,
Hopefully somebody can be of assistance, me and my friend both purchased the MSI GT70 2PC a couple of months ago, fantastic laptop by the way. The only issue that both of us have been experiencing is with the USB 3.0 ports.
The problem is that when we connect a USB 3.0 External HDD it occasionally works fine but more often than not it will continually connect and disconnect almost as if it is not getting the correct amount of power. Now we both work in a computer repair shop so we have tried all of the basics, ensuring drivers are up to date, changing the HDD cable and due to where we work we have managed to test over 5 different brands of USB 3.0 external drives, used and brand new, all of which work fine on other computers via USB 3.0
Having read a few posts it seems that others have experienced this but there is no solution that I have found. Is there something we have missed or is this awaiting a driver update? The laptop is fantastic for my development needs however a £1300 laptop that can't reliably connect to a USB 3.0 drive is somewhat disappointing - I remain optimistic that there is indeed a solution!
Thankyou in advance for any help you can provide.

Hello markusbarrot,
The USB 3.0 high-speed electric signal is easy to be interfered and this will make the device suffer intermittent connections/disconnections. Not every USB 3.0 device suffered by this. It depends on the quality of the circuits between the USB device and the mainboard of the laptop.
1. Suggest you get a shorter USB 3.0 cable or an interference-resisted (magnetic shield) USB 3.0 cable. Some problems can be resolved by this.
2. Update the firmware of your external USB devices. Some problems can be resolved by this.
3. Return the laptop to the MSI authorized service providers or your local dealers for inspection on the USB ports. They can make sure your USB ports do work in the spec. or not.

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US Dominator Bios Update

Hello,
Sorry if this post should be in a different thread. Currently I have the 2PC-1044 Dominator with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed (AHCI), and I would like to know if there is a Bios upgrade available. The support downloads section does not list the correct version for me to download (Win7 x64). Also, is it ok for me to install Firmware 1763EMS1.517 and vBIOS 80.04.F7.00.06 without damaging/formatting the OS?
Below are the current versions of my system
Bios: E1763IMS.50R
EC Firmware: 1763EMS1 Ver5.10
vBIOS (from Nvidia CP System Info): 80.04.EA.00.02
Thanks

Read below information first before doing update. On top of that, if you need BIOS update, flash to version 50V first.

Request: Msi GT70-2PC 1044us unlocked bios

Also, would verymuch love to get ahold of svet's vbios tuner util. Same again, i'll make it worthwhile!
Thanks in advance!
Btw. I can't seem to find any official downloads for my laptop. Support page only links me to a single utility download. Where did i miss something?
Edit: seems my current bios version is E1763IMS.50R I cant find anything more recent.

MSI GT70 2PC Dominator Battleship – EpisodeⅠ

[Introduction]
[Roberts are the dream of every man] one of my close fellows said. Actually, I am not a 3C fans. But it is really excited that Titan Fall is online now. So I made a tough decision that I never did it before. I purchased the [MSI GT70 2PC Dominator] with last year bounds.
[Open box article]
Finally, the shipment is coming today. It is true that now is one of my happiest moment in life. I put down all my work and start to share my new toy for everyone.
Note:
It is sad that I only have a phone next to me. Please forgive me those non-quality and non-professional pictures in article.
That is cool that we can find a big case with MSI log and an extra backpack in package.
There is MSI log on the top of box. Furthermore, I must said the Dragon log is so fashion and beautiful. That is a nice backpack which we can carry it outside anytime.
There is an extra soft layer behind the backpack. It improves the comfortable and air permeability for user.
In my own opinion, I like this kind of design.
Let’s check what surprise us in box.
We could see the label of GT70 2PC spec on the side of box.
MSI really provide the multi-protection for their products. There are two more cases inside.
We can find MSI gaming mouse/ SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming headphone in box. Besides, there is a small and special box which has MSI Log. We will check it later.
All right. I think we can throw away the empty box now.
Wait a minute!!! The box is still so heavy. It must be something else that we didn’t take out.
Oh well, I see. There is a warranty service book and driver CD in the right side.
Also, battery and adapter are behind the cover.
Let’s take a family picture.
We have quick guide/MSI rromotional materials/manual for F3 recovery/driver CD for Win8.1/Warranty service book/ Windows 8.1 guide
Oh my god. There is a signet in that special box. Dragoon postmark is so elegant.
SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 Full-Size headset.
Furthermore, it supports 4 different languages. You can find the spec on its box.
Wow. MSI log is on the headphone. Totally, It is customized for MSI brand!!!
Another dragon army log on headphone.
MSI didn’t forget the inside of headphone. A beautiful shield is on it.
SteelSeries also promote this headphone on its website. It is so popular.
http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2
Now, let’s show SteelSeries KINZU V2 mouse.
Mouse supports 4 different languages, too. We also can find the spec on box.
However, there is no driver CD in box…LOL. How do I use it? We only can find the cute mouse and manual.
Sorry, my bad. We can download the driver and firmware from SteelSeries official website.
http://steelseries.com/products/mice/steelseries-kinzu-v2
Of course, there is a powerful dragon on mouse pad.
Take a mouse family picture.
180W adapter is just like a big strong brick. It is designed by most famous industry DELTA. You can find all kinds of safety signatures on it. It is powerful and undefeatable on playing game. But please understand that I didn’t suggest dear readers to use it as a weapon to throw/hurt people!!!
The battery is 7800mAh. And you can see all kinds of safety signatures on it.
Finally, our rock star is coming.
The laptop is surrounding by a lot of soft foams.
Huge dragon shield log on it.
Take off the black jacket. Then, we can see a nonwoven fabric inside the plastic bag.
Game start!!
This universe battle cruiser will help me dominate all my enemies in game .
We can find the security lack/power jack/ RJ45 port/D-SUB/m-DP/HDMI in back. The sales man said it can also support three external displays at same time. I must try the solution by myself when I get my new screens.
On the left side, there are USB3.0 port/Card Reader/HiFi headphone port (According to the spec, it will increase 30% audio performance). I can’t wait to listen my favorite music with it.
I didn’t forget my lovely BD. It also has BD reader/writer and 2 USB2.0 on the right side.
I can’t stop myself to take another wonderful photo with the MSI logo and upper case.
I have a feeling that my dominator is ready fight.
There is a [SteelSeries] LOGO on the left side. What a surprise it is. YA! We have SteelSeries keyboard on GT70. Absolutely, this is a gamer dream. Best Keyboard vendor SteelSeries and Top Gaming NB brand MSI are working together! It is totally worth for me.
DYNAUDIO, the leader of audio industry. As you know, BUGATTI’s sport cars use the DYNAUDIO. And MSI is the first notebook in world with this sound of Danish pride.
HA!HA!
I’m listening the best sound as rich people sitting in their sport cars. It feels great.
http://www.dynaudio.com/int/multimedia_sound/index.php
There are many thoughtful buttons on middle cover. (Power/Airplane mode/display on&off/Gaming button/Caps Luck/Num lock).
More convenience buttons, media/turbo fan/backlight LED.
We also have Bluetooth/WLAN/battery/sleep/disk indicators in front of laptop.
Here is GT70 spec and signatures form Sound Blaster CINEMA / nVIDIA /Intel.
An independent On/Off switch for touch pad.
Built-in Camera and Mic on the display.
You can see the thermal design and the battery when we check the back side.
The silver part is our bass. Just like the cannon on our battleship.
What is under the battery?
The left side is the safety signatures for GT70 and its WLAN.
The right side is Win8 LOGO and serial number.
Now we know my baby is born on February.
[Power on]
Gee!the Log is shining when the system is. power on .
The keyboard is just like the most beautiful rainbow that I’ve never seen. It is stunning. Honestly, my cheerful tear is dropping.
Anyway, Titanfall, I’m coming.
What? Something pops up when I attach the network.
What is [Killer Network Manager]?
Wow. Now I know that Killer high-performance networking products combine intelligence, control and superior networking speed for HD video, high quality audio, and online games. That’s great. I hate the evil [LAG] in game.
https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/products/killer-technology/
After the quick test, it is time to install my game.
I find a secret app in the tray of task bar during the game installation.
YA! That is SSE (Steelseries Engine). I can set my own hotkey, backlight LED and combo key with this good friend.
SSE is a smart app. It recognized my GT70 and my mouse immediately when I launch the app.
Sorry again. I was wrong because I don’t need a mouse driver. The SSE can control all of the actions. It is so sweet.
It is the time to say goodbye. Titanfall is calling. See you on battlefield!!!

Msi gt70 2pc dominator wlan

Hey guys its me again, i have a question which i cant seem to find on the net.
In the msi gt70 2pc dom driver page there seems to be two wlan driver; killer gaming wlan driver and intel wireless driver (beta).
What are the differences between the two? I cant seem to find the intel wireless driver on my device manager despite installing the beta intel wireless driver. As im still having issues with the killer driver, i was wondering if i could use the intel driver. Thx

The GT702PC has a Killer Wireless N1202 network adapter. There is no Intel adapter in the laptop (source: device manager).
Edit - This is a Qualcomm Atheros device, so if you absolutely must start messing around with drivers, first step is the driver disc that came with the laptop, then MSI's site, then Qualcomms site.
Extra edit - According to Qualcomm's site, the most up to date driver for this device is V10.0.0.274, which is the driver I currently have installed on my laptop/for this device. If you also have this driver installed, it's as up to date as it gets. You could try DL'ing it from Qualcomm's site & reinstalling it once you've ruled out other causes for any problem you're seeing

MSI GT70 2PC shut down shortly after start

I bought MSI GT70 2PC-1889CZ Dominator. BIOS E1763IMS.51B, the same problem with BIOS E1763IMS.51V. There is one SSD disk there and one HDD.
And problem? When I press the power button, my NB automatically turns off during 2-3 sec (before starting windows 8). But when I press the power button again, it starts without problem. I have the same problem everytime. First try - turn off, second try - no problem. My nb never turns off during playing games, or working in windows, only shortly after I press power button. I tried other battery (the same model), this problem occurs without plugged charger and with plugged charger too...

Try update IRST driver.

MSI GT70 2PC laptop bags..

Been looking for a Laptop bag(messengerbag style?) that can hold and protect the MSi GT70 2PC Dominator style laptops safely and securely. My current 17 inch Case Logic bag seems to be a tad bit to small and my Camera carrier Backpack doesn't fit.. The laptop is to thick haha.
Which one do you all recommend? I know that certain US brands are not available here or are simply outrageously expensive with international shipping tied to it.

I got 1 targus 17" bag and it fits MSI GT70 with adaptor easily.
I had a G75 before, but I can't find any 17" bag could fit it in.

MSI GT70 2PC Dominator Wifi Dropping

Hi there, new user here, first of all I have already read the existing post regarding wifi drops and fixes. To clarify, below are the steps that I have taken as per suggestions that i found on the net:
1. Uninstalled the Killer Gaming Network manager program and only using the wifi/lan drivers.
2. Re installed updated killer gaming network manager and drivers from both MSI and Killer websites.
3. Change the maximize the power saving mode in the battery section for wireless adapter.
4. Unable the power management settings in the network wireless via network and sharing centre.
5. Use several different drivers via the update drivers window in network adapter (via device manager)
- ive used the standard killer n1202 drivers.
- ive used the qualcomm atheros wireless network adapter (both microsoft and qualcomm)
- currently using the qualcomm atheros ar9462 802.11a/b/g/n wifi adapter
These are the steps that i've taken, one of the many that i can remember doing at the moment. Still to this day my wifi issue persist.
I refuse to believe that this is a hardware issue because the current GT70 that i am using is a brand new laptop that MSI has given me after I RMAed my earlier GT70. So you can say this is the 2nd laptop they've provided to me after making a hell lot of noise to them because my first GT70 had an unknown issue 1 week after light usage.
I've ran out of ideas on what to do, i've been sucking this up for the past 3-4 months as i cant find a fix. I've done everything i can except updating the bios, which i was advised not to since I do not know how to flash or update my bios (whichever term you call it).
My wifi drops so often and I keep having to flush my dns (using ipconfig /flushdns) every 30 mins or so just to able to use the net, much less play any games.
So i was wondering if there was any steps that I missed? Im really in desperate need for help as i no longer know what to do.
I appreciate any help that you guys can provide. Thank you very much!

Just a quick update on my wifi after installing two different 'realtek drivers' from the MSI website.
It's still too early to tell, I will update further once i start gaming.
Just incase you guys wanna install the drivers, proceed to this link:
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64
Download this two files:
Realtek Audio Drivers (222.21MB)
Realtek Cardreader RTS5227-GR & RTS5249-GR (10.3MB)
PS: I downloaded the audio drivers just cause it had the name realtek in there lul!
Keep me posted!
UPDATE
After 2 hours of gaming and surfing the web, i didn't had to constantly flush my dns. Although my wifi bar alternates between 4 and 5 bars, im guessing this is normal (as the wireless modem isn't in my room but the room opposite mine).
So far so good, is it a coincidence? I am not too sure, give me a few more days of test run and it'll be more conclusive. I say you guys should update your drivers, no harm in trying right?

MSI GT70 20C WIN 8.1 UPGRADE ISSUES!!!!

Hello everyone A bit of a quagmire here. I have a new MSI GT70 20C. It is an awesome gaming machine to say the least. I decided to choose the best of two evils and decided to upgrade to WIN 8.1.....
Here is the issue:
1:Uninstalled the old Killer E2200 LAN/WLAN/BT 4.0 Drivers.
2:Installed the new Drivers provided by MSI and all work except LAN.
3:Uninstalled everything and tried again but this time noticed that when device manager is open and installing the driver pack, the device manager refreshed about 10 times or so and it is all fine until after the program says to reboot then the LAN is not working again. I proceeded to uninstall and re-install this time to cancel the install as I realized that there is something in the driver pack that is conflicting with windows during the install process. I restarted the system and now it all works.
This is not just a request for assistance from support but also a really strange assist. Please respond if anyone encounters the same situation.

I've got the newer/newest gt70 dominator pro, which came with windows 8.1 installed.
So I don't have the same issue as you.
But with killer and drivers for it, ive had nothing but problems.
As of right now, I deleted the killer suite and only have drivers installed. The LAN driver in my device manager shows the yellow exclamation mark, but it works. So that's where I am and that's where im choosing to stay.
I will end up, and soon, getting an intel wireless card, but not sure if you can replace the lan as I think that might be part of the board.

Msi gt70 2pc running games very badly.

So, i just bought my msi gt70 yesterday and installed windows 8.1, drivers, etc. Now i installed borderlands 2 so i could play this game. It should run perfect because i heard you could even play battlefield 4 on this laptop? The problem is. On normal settings i get 15 fps MAX. The game ran perfectly on my older computer wich had a radeon hd 6800 series graphics card. I already tried adjusting it trough the nvidia control panel. I'm starting to think this was just a waste of money. Hope anyone can help, else ill have to return it to see if anything might be wrong. Thanks ahead.

http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/72567/can-i-force-steam-to-use-my-nvidia-gpu-instead-of-the-integrated-intel-card
Most likely the game is using the Intel iGPU instead of the NVidia dedicated GPU, and this is why the games are running so badly. Follow the instructions linked above to setup the NVidia Optimus driver to use the NVidia card during Borderlands 2 (and any other games) so they work properly.

Hi!
I've got a GT70 2PC notebook with Win7 64bits installed, and I want to update its BIOS.

What should I do?

MSI Gt70 dominator gtx 870m touch panel issue

Hi!
The touchpanel of mine msi gt70 dominator stopped working after I upgradded the EC.
I cant use the Fan boost anymore. I still can activate or deactivate wifi through SCM but there is no option to use the Fanboost. Can anyone help me ?

Yes you probably need BIOS too to work with newest EC.
But tell what are your current BIOS and EC versions 1st,
look for them in BIOS setup system information
