MSI GT70 2PE Pro Shuts off after power up and sleep mode, then works

I got this laptop less than a year ago and I am kinda getting upset about my decision buying it. It is the GT70 Dominator Pro with the GTX880M graphics card.
Only thing I did was install a SSD drive for my main drive and use the 1TB drive that it came with as a storage drive. Everything was working perfectly for about 4 months without any issues.
My problem started with the laptop shutting off in the middle of playing Watch dogs and wouldnt boot to windows, so i went to the BIOS and found out for some reason it changed my primary drive to the storage so i changed it back and all was good. After about a month it similar thing happened but this time I couldnt even get to the BIOS, after pressing the F10 or whatever it is for BIOS the computer freezes in a black screen.
I contacted MSI and sent it out for warranty, they had to change the whole motherboard as it was not serviceable (Issue was a faulty MB).
Last week the laptop started acting up again, here is my issue. When powering it on the fan and light comes on but after couple of seconds it turns off, then powering it on for 2nd time it works. This happens 80% of the time, i have to turn it on twice before it works.  Even more frustrating thing is when it is at Sleep mod, I press the power to wake it up, so it does but before getting to windows screen it shuts off.
I was wondering if anyone have similar issue like mine or know what could cause this. My tower PC that i built have a MSI board and graphic card thats why I went with their laptop but I had pretty bad experience with it so far and its not a cheap laptop either. I might have to go through another warranty work if it keeps giving me the issue.

Try update IRST driver.

  • 3G still won't turn off after hitting home and sleep button at same time. Any other ways to try?

    3G still won't turn off after hitting home and sleep button at same time. Any other ways to try it?

    And when you held them neither the red Off slider nor the Apple logo appeared?
    If not then your sleep button is broken, you will need to get it serviced.

  • My Mac Pro shuts off after entering my log in information

    My mac pro shuts off when my log in information is entered after about thirty seconds or so.

    Hello again,
    it seems I have solved the problem myself. In system preferences, Security and Privacy, General, I deselected Ask for a password after … minutes …. Now the computer goes to standby normally, and of course does not ask for a password any more after waking. I still do not understand why choosing this option should make putting into standby impossible.
    I hope this finding can be of service to other users.
    Goodbye.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 13'' - Power button and sleep mode

    I just updated my Mac, which is the latest Macbook Pro Retina 13''. All of a sudden, it refuses to enter sleep mode when I press the power button, which worked perfectly fine before the update. I now have to manually enter sleep mode from the monitor. After entering sleep mode, It works fine to press the power button to make it work again, but not reverse. Why?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have this problem as well. Worked perfectly before I updated to OS X Mavericks (10.9.2).
    Now I have to hold the power button in for it to sleep or click on it for a few times. But there is no problem when I'm going to wake the computer up, just a single push and it works fine. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? Any respond from Apple regarding this issue and how to solve it? Or should i contact my retailer?

  • MB pro shuts off after bootup chime,  hd damaged/volumeheader related - disk utility can't repair - how do i recover/backup my files??

    Hi guys,
    My macbook pro late(dec) 2011, doesn't boot up anymore, it just turns off after the chime (whilst a gray bar is loading a bit and then the MB shuts off)...
    This all happened after I upgraded to mavericks, safari and chrome were spontaneously shutting off, my macbook kept restarting (all after recommended app store updates), it had kernel panics etc. Last night after an update it just wouldn't boot up anymore! Pff.. what should i do?
    Disk utility can't repair the damaged HD, it had something to do with volume headers..
    I basically want to access my macbook's files and documents so that i can transfer them onto an external hd or back them up.. i just want my files afterwards i can reformat or whatever as long as i get the files and contents of my hd back..
    Ive read of diskwarrior? Can i burn that on a dvd and insert it into my mac, then start my mac and then it allows me to drag and drop all the contents of my hd onto an external hd?
    I need a genius to help me!! A step by step guide would really mean the world to me!!
    Thanks in advance mysterious genius!!!

    Step 4(a) open Disk Utility from Utilities on the menu bar, then proceed to highlight the external drive in the left sidebar as you say and choosing Partition from the row of buttons that appear top center in the main window of DU.
    5(a) click Restore on the bar of buttons top center of the main DU window, then what you say.  But use the name you have given the external drive in step 4, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) is the way it has been formatted, use a name such as Backup or something obvious to you.
    Step 7, On the menu bar, click File, then New Finder Window.  In the left sidebar you will see Devices and the internal and external drives will be listed.  Click the name of the external drive and then in the main part of the window you should see the contents of the external drive.  You can click on the folder for Users, then your user name, and see what folders appear...make sure the folders such as Documents, Pictures and whatever else you use appear and have the content you expect to be there.
    You want to be sure all the content has been copied over since the step of erasing the internal drive is going to permanently remove it from that drive.
    And then after step 8, add step 9, from Utilities on the menu bar, choose Install Mac OS X, and if it asks where to install, choose the internal, Macintosh HD, as where to install.

  • 2009 MacBook Pro shuts off after low battery warning.

    Today I got the warning at 10% and about a minute later, the computer just zapped off. I only had internet (Facebook and email) and iTunes open. This has happened before, more often recently, where it shuts off shortly after the warning. I've been wondering if I have a bad battery because sometimes the computer has drained all the way to 0% and then zaps off.
    Is this fixable with the current battery? Or is it just old and likely needs replacement?
    Any input is appreciated. Thanks!!

    Apple actually has a section of their website dedicated to explaining how recharge-able batteries work these days.  It includes some tips on how to maximize your battery life.

  • Macbook Pro shuts off after few seconds of gray screen

    Help - I came home to discover my power cord had died and my laptop turned off due to no power. I used a friend's power cord to turn it on later that night and send some emails. I bought a new power cord the next day, plugged in, and turned  the laptop on. It stayed on the gray screen with a spinning wheel beneath the apple logo for a while. I restarted it and it turned off after a few seconds of the gray screen. An empty bar flashes twice horizontally at the bottom before the spinning bar begins.
    I tried booting in safe mode, but it would just stay on the gray screen. I tried doing shift+command+v and received a message about keys out of order and disk error full, can't repair. I was able to boot from the install disc, and when I click "Repair Disc" I get the same erros. Not sure what to do now?

    Would my time machine data be preserved with this?
    Well this is the big gamble. You really don't know for sure.
    TimeMachine has gotten corrupted from a failing original drive and then unable to restore properly to a new drive.
    It's not like you can access the files on a TM drive directly and cherry pick what you need and leave the rest. It's all or nothing.
    If you go erasing your only other copy on the boot drive, which the files still could be accessed from another boot drive, and if you find out the TimeMachine drive can't restore, then your up the creek without a paddle right?
    So if your able, create a data recovery drive and try to rescue your second copy of the files on the boot drive or restore the TM drive to the second boot drive , so this way your files can be accessed directly if you need it and you have two copies again.
    Once you can direclty access your files then you can go about erasing and installing on the internal boot drive.

  • MacBook Pro shuts off after attempting to boot

    So I may have accidentally deleted a file that I thought was a temp connected to another file. I stopped the deletion when I realized it was a large file. I restarted my computer and when it starts to boot, and during the spinning wheel, it shuts off. I do have a recent back up of my system, though I can't start it to do anything.
    Can anyone give me some ideas of how I might be able to correct?
    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks.

    Boot to the Mac OS X Utilities Recovery HD system. At startup hold down the Command + r key to access that system. then select Reinstall Mac OS X. A fresh copy of Lion will be downloaded from the internet and installed on your Mac. Doing this so called Over the Top reinstall should not affect any other files on your Mac other than to replace the file/s you deleted.
    You can also use that Mac Utilities boot to restore your system from your Time Machine backup which might be the best thing to do. Have the TM backup drive connected before you start the Recovery boot process.

  • Msi gt70 2PE integrated HD 4600 graphics HDMI port does not appear to work.

    Hi guys,
    I have the GT70 2PE with integrated hd 4600 graphics and with a dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 880m card. The HDMI output does not appear to work.
    I'm tech savvy and cannot figure this out for the life of me. have tried nearly everything.
    lets start from the low level troubleshooting done:
    - plugged in the HDMI cable from a working computer that has HDMI hooked up to it. This did not make a difference from the new cable I bought for hooking up my TV to my laptop.
    - booted the laptop up and do not see a duplicate screen outputting via HDMI, all my video cards in my PC's I've built prior have always shown the HDMI output as a duplicate screen when I had a monitor hooked onto a PC. This makes me believe the HDMI port may be disabled/broken as there is no HDMI output at POST. Only the laptop monitor displays output.
    In Windows 8.1 I've installed the latest 4600 drivers and nvidia 880m beta drivers.(even though installing nvidia drivers shouldn't matter since I've read the HDMI output is tied to the 4600 integrated graphics chip, also if during POST the HDMI output never showed up on my TV, then installing the latest intel graphics drivers shouldn't have made a difference either, which it didnt make a difference).
    I've tried disabling the integrated graphics card then re-enabling it, as noted on the intel forums. - does nothing.
    what I've ruled out:
    -HDMI cable issues = no issues due to other PC's and devices working with the cables. All cable tests are direct connect to the TV, no intermediary devices such as hdmi splitters etc.
    -BIOS has zero options for graphics card options.
    Any ideas before i RMA this laptop? I'm at a loss.

  • Airport connection shuts off after a while and can't be turned on again

    I have MacBook Pro alu-body (bought in March) and have the following strange problem. I got my MacBook back s few days ago from my Apple reseller who had to fix my laptop as the iSight camera wasn't working anymore. But sincethen, when I'm connected to the internet via my Airport, after a while (this can be 10 mins or so) suddenly the Airport switches of and can't be switched on again using the Network preferences utility. The very strange thing however is that I'm using a widget from a Classical Radio station to listen to the radio, that music (live streaming) is still okay, but at the same time I can't use my Airport as I can't switch it on again. So, I only can do then is to restart and the problem will occur after let's say 10 - 15 minutes or so.
    I ran Apple hardware test and did some other test with Techtool Pro 5, but couldn't find anything wrong.
    What can/should I do?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Thanks, but the problem is more complicated I guess. I just had the same problem, but now my MacBook Pro was completely frozen .... I couldn't do anything any more besides restarting.
    After the restart, the Aiport doesn't come up again - ergo: the symbol on top of my MacBook is shows that the Aiport hasn't been installed: when I click on this symbol there is a text which says:'There is no Aiport card installed!'. So the system doesn't seem to find the Aiport card. When I use the 'Systemprofile' under the Apple and select Network > Aiport-card I can read 'no information has been found'.
    I don't get it .... is this a hardware or a software problem?

  • Shuts down after coming out of sleep mode

    When my imac comes out of sleep mode it keeps shutting down and does a restart.

    On restart, are you getting any error messages?
    I would test this issue in safe mode and then reset the smc as well

  • MSI GT70 2PE 1624XNE Dominator Pro

    Hello.
    I've been waiting for a MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE, for 4 weeks now. And really need a new laptop, since my old gaming is broke. Then i saw a place that have MSI GT70 2PE 1624XNE Dominator Pro in storage. but it only has one 128gb sd.
    Can i put 2 more in it? at raid 0, so i have 384gb on my c: or do i need some ekstra parts beside the ssd storage to do that? or what is posible to do?
    Hope someone can help me, really need a new computer.

    The mSATA to SATA adapter should be bundled in the unit since you already have one SSD.
    If so, then you can add two SSDs on the adapter which already has three mSATA ports.
    You can confirm with the local store about the adapter.
    If you want to do the self-upgrade, I'll suggest to buy two SSD which is same as the one you already have. Then you'll be able to have a good performance meanwhile prevent the possible compatibility issue. You can also ask MSI service center for the MSI approval list of SSDs. It's recommanded to use the same SSDs.

  • Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?

    I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?

    Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.
