MSI GT70 0NC-013US laptop questions

I am looking for a gaming laptop, and since the Asus G75VW has been discontinued, this one caught my eye. Does anyone happen to know if MSI is a top-quality manufacturer? As of right now, my goal is to find one to play Diablo 3 flawlessly, while being able to watch movies and general web browsing, as well as store pictures and whatnot. Would I have issues with the dual video card? Also, does anyone know if Best Buy will continue to sell this for a while? I probably won't be able to purchase for another month, perhaps two, but getting my research out of the way now.

MSI GT70 0NC 494 - Samsung 840 Evo Problem

I recently brought a Samsung 840 Evo 500GB to replace the WD Black HDD on my MSI GT70-0NC-494 laptop. OS is Windows 8. Im going type out pretty much how I ended up to where I am right now in hopes that maybe someone could catch where I went wrong.
So here's the story:
The cloning process went smoothly and I was able to load the OS from the SSD without any problems. Then I immediately updated the firmware and I set the optimizations using the Magician software.
I ran CrystalDiskMark and had speeds around ~300MB for both read and writes on the sequential test. Thought that my speeds were kind of slow when comparing them to the others I've seen. AHCI is on. I know my laptop has a SATA 2 and SATA 3 slot but I did plug the SSD in the SATA 3. SATA 3 connection is confirmed through Intel RST application and Samsung Magician. The speed is just not around the ballpark of what everyone is getting.
Ok, let's see the speeds with Rapid Mode so I turned on Rapid Mode and restarted. Then I get a "Start PXE over IPv6/4" message which then leads to the BIOS screen. Turn off laptop, turn it on, and get the same message. Turn off laptop again, turn it on, and the OS loads this time.
I thought that was weird but whatever I got to the OS, I thought. Open up Task Manager to see how Rapid Mode affects my RAM capacity since my regular usage already puts me ~1.5GB below max. 1.9GB shows up on RAM. Thought I'd be starting closer to 3GB. Then again, Im not entirely sure on how Rapid Mode works so whatever. Run the benchmark test through Magician software.
(This pic was from after I reinstalled Win 8 but the performance drop was similar)
Ok, , the read speeds is now garbage. Did the test on CrystalDiskMark and it shows similar results. It was late at night and Im feeling tired so I keep my laptop idle overnight to see if that would help. Nope, read speeds are still garbage. Surprisingly enough, CrystalDiskMark would show write speeds for sequential hitting ~1000MB/s so it seems that the write process is somewhat fine. The read process seems like it's broken.
So I turn off Rapid Mode and see if that fixes my read speeds. Restart. Get BSOD on startup. Turned laptop on and off multiple times to see if anything works but no avail. Thankfully I created a set of recovery disks 2 days ago so I immediately run that now. I was planning to restore the OS to factory install anyways so its fine.
OS is restored. At this point Im scared of installing the Samsung Magician software so I make a restore point. This time I want to see what happens if I install the software and run Rapid Mode through Win 8.1.
Seems like I can't just upgrade to 8.1 without installing a bunch of updates first so I do that. I got impatient so I went ahead and installed Magician and did the optimizations. CrystalDiskMark showed ~300MB/s for read and ~400MB/s for write. Ran the Magician benchmark and it produced the light blue bars on the screenshot above.
Let's try Rapid Mode now. Turn Rapid Mode on, restart, and I am again greeted with the "Start PXE over IPv6/4" message before hitting the BIOS. Now Im telling myself that I messed up again. Turned off the laptop and turned it on. OS is back. Awesome, only 1 try.
Did benchmarks on Magician which again showed that my read speeds were garbage (dark blue bars). I'm not even going to touch Rapid Mode for fear of having to reinstall the OS again. So now Im trying to upgrade to Win 8.1 and see if that fixes something.
Download 8.1, restart, I get some BSOD message with the code "0xC1900101 - 0X20017", restart through BIOS, and I get an error saying that 8.1 failed and Im being reverted to 8. Desktop loads up, I check Magician and my 840 Evo doesnt even appear on the drop down list. The software even says Rapid Mode is disabled even though I can see the Rapid Mode service through task manager.
Now Im just running tests, and restarting the laptop to install additional Windows updates. Upgrade to Windows 8.1 actually went through this time. After the update, Magician now says that Rapid Mode is on and my SSD again appears to be selectable. Read speeds seems to have gotten a *tiny bit* better but it is still extremely low.
Decided to say screw it, disabled Rapid Mode, restarted, again with the "Start PXE over IPv6/4". Turn off laptop, turn on, surprisingly no BSOD saying my system is forever broken. Now Im trying to see if I could salvage the performance back through messing with the settings so I followed most of the advice on another website.
Now it seems that the write speed is consistently good, but again the read speeds are absolutely horrid. I used AS-SSD for the benchmark instead of CrystalDiskMark this time.
And that is where I am right now. I am very sorry that the post is ridiculously long. I've been constantly looking around the internets to see if anyone has the same problem as me and I couldnt find a solution. I wanted to somewhat be detailed with my process so I can know whether this problem is the software or the MSI hardware. Or if the problem is with my specific SSD and that I'd have to RMA it.

How did you go about installing Windows?
It looks like the first time you used some software that ended up cloning it from the HDD to the SSD. That's a no-no in general, and I'd never trust it to work well.
Then the next time, you say you restored it. But you don't say if that was from the SSD/HDD or from recovery media that you had generated.
I'll be perfectly honest, I'd only trust installing from Recovery media when it comes to installing a new drive.
I'd say to do that. Install from Recovery media and see if that fixes the problem.
I will also say that a number of users have had issues with the Samsung 840 drives. Most of them were using the Samsung 840 Pro drives, not the EVO's, but just something to keep in mind. They were only able to get them to operate at SATA2 speeds.

MSI GT70 (0NE-452) Refuses to Boot/random shut downs - BIOS problem?

Hello,
I recently purchased a MSI GT70 0NE-452 laptop from Xotic PC. It came with Windows 8, but since Windows 8 broke most of Adobe Premiere, Vegas, and After Effects, I wiped the RAID0 SSDs and installed Windows 7. I've reinstalled all the drivers and have been comfortably setup for about a week or 2. Unfortunately now, the laptop has been behaving strangely.
1) Random shutdowns, regardless of whether I'm connected to power or not. And I know it isn't because the battery died. (This might be fixed now since I downloaded another driver for the CPU Thermal Control)
2) Laptop won't turn on first-try. I press the power button and the power button flashes orange but nothing happens. It will only turn on once I've removed the battery and put it back in.
I have a feeling this could be a BIOS problem, and possibly attributable to the Windows 7 reformat, but I'm not sure. My BIOS is currently: American Megatrends Inc E1762MS.50U, 11/23/12.
The MSI website for my model has a Bios update:
Release Date: 2012-12-14
Description: Fix HDMI/DP hot plug no function after S3 resume
Non-Win8
E1762IMS.30R
Can someone please advise? Should I try my hand at flashing the BIOS with this update and hope it solves the problem, or should I just call MSI and get it fixed by them?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much!

I'll take your advice but can you clarify a bit? Is it something beyond a BIOS repair?

MSI GT70 Bios unlock Request

Hello, i was wondering if you could unlock this Bios for me. Its an MSI GT70 0ND 452US laptop
Mainboard: MS-1762
PCB Version: REV:1.0
BIOS Version: E1762IMS.50X
BIOS Date: 21/01/2013
EC-FW Version: Not sure why this hasnt come up?
Aso i am having a problem with my graphics card and wondered if you could help? I basically bought this laptop without the Nvdia GTX 680m card in it. So i bought a second hand one off ebay, i installed it and it sort of worked but the drivers wouldnt install. So i looked online and re flashed the V-Bios with an MSI branded one off techinferno forum
However when i restarted the laptop it just hangs on the bios screen, but it does try to boot in ACHI mode which is strange? I have tried to reflash in this mode but it doesnt find the Card. Any Ideas? It should work in principle and i do have the old V-Bios. Maybe the laptops bios isnt accepting the Graphics Card?
thanks for any help

don't know, officially msi do support video card upgrades, users are their own.
some my guesses:
the card can be defective
or the vbios that you have flashed to be unstable or to be incorrect for your card, use card original vbios
or the charger to be too weak for entire combo include the new powerfull card
or something else

Need advices on MSI GT70 0ND-612AU

Hello everyone,
I'm from Australia and was planning to get a MSI GT70 0ND-612AU laptop recently. I'm planning to do some minor upgrade at starts but not sure how hard will it be to get this done, the following will be some of my concern (I'm not an IT person so the following description or terms that i used could be wrong), please advice
1. Add mSATA 120GB SSD as a primary drive and the stock HDD (1TB 5400rpm) as secondary: From what i heard was the OS (windows 8) does not comes with the system in hardcopy (Disc) as it has already installed on the original HDD along with the recovery partition. How am i suppose to install the Windows on a SSD that i'm gonna add and used as a primary drive? because there might be some issue that i heard such as BSOD / bugs or errors due to hardware changes / SSD does not perform faster than the stock HDD as it wasn't optimized properly / Adaptor board missing ...etc.
Preferred fresh install as i heard migration potentially cause errors.
P.S. Any tutorials or external guidance links will be appreciate.
2. GTX675MX GDDR5 2GB / 4GB VRAM confusion: I've seen a lot different MSI model (inc UK / Australia) and from different online stores' description some stated the same graphic card model that comes with 2GB VRAM and some with 4GB VRAM. How am i be able to identify the differences? At first i thought 2GB VRAM is only available on GTX675M and 4GB VRAM was on GTX675MX, but i still saw some online specs saying GTX675MX 2GB VRAM.
3. Applying Arctic Silver 5 or MX on CPU & GPU: Do i need to do this once i bought the laptop or can i use for a year and apply later? Any tutorial on how to apply these on GT70 0ND?
Thank you for your attention.

That's the assembly guide PDF, that pretty much explains how to take apart the entire notebook. Very helpful.
Make the restore disks. Those will allow you to reinstall the stock software again. Install the SSD, and probably remove the HDD, and then install using the restore disks. It should work just fine.
Well, all I can say is I haven't heard of any migration issues at all so far. I've seen a few people complain, but they didn't really know what they were doing and that's why they had problems.
Honestly, it should say what GPU and how much VRAM it has. 2GB vs 4GB is a moot point to be perfectly honest. This card is similar to a GT650 in the desktop world. 2GB of VRAM is great for those cards. If you want to pay for the 4GB version, by all means go ahead. I just don't believe it will help you at all, and remember, that's just my opinion. It's your laptop, buy what you want.
Hello darkhawk, thank you for your reply again.
Thanks for the PDF, will definitely read that! I'll try do some research on how to create a restore disk then Just wants to make all this clear before i make a move to pick one unit up.
U probably right, migration might not have any issue as you said if done professionally. The reason why i'm worried because i'm pretty much have no idea how this should be done properly lol X-D, i can felt that if i'm gonna do this most likely i will encounter lots of problems lol.
I completely understand what you mean by the GPU. One of the reason that why am i attracted to it is because it's only $3 AUD different (the only different was one that comes with 750GB 7200rpm HDD with 2GB GTX675MX 2GB VRAM ($3 AUD less) and the other one that i'm looking at was 1TB 5400rpm HDD with 4GB VRAM). lol
Cheers

Msi gt70

Hello, I am looking to buy the MSI gt70 2oc-008us laptop and I have a question about it. I have read that the gt70 supports a 3x ssd super raid 0 and I was wondering if all of them support it or just a few. Could anyone tell me if this version of the gt70 supports it?
Thank you

Well, this is a very loaded question......
Technically, ALL the GT70 laptops support it.....but they don't all come with the proper adapter in order to actually install the drives.
Only models that actually list an SSD should come with the Super Raid 2 adapter.
IE purchasing a model with a single 1TB Mechanical hard drive will not have the adapter needed to install the mSATA SSD's.
Purchasing a model with a 128 GB SSD + 1TB mechanical hard drive will (most likely, do NOT quote me as saying it will) come with the adapter needed to add 2 more mSATA SSD's.
The best thing to do is to actually contact MSI directly and find out from them, or your reseller.

MSi GT70 - 0NE-276us Sudden Power Off/Will not Stay On

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read about my problem. No sob story, however this is my only computer and it was/is my work machine in the IT Administrative/Deskside Workplace. Any ideas are welcome.
I have an MSi GT70-0NE 276us Laptop. I bought it last year (Christmas). I was playing a game on Steam when suddenly the machine turned off. Using my troubleshooting experience, here is what I tried:
-Removing the battery and power supply from the machine and holding power button for 1 minute
-After testing with ONLY the battery inside the machine, pressing the power button makes a white flash and a shimmer of light sent to the keyboard, but doesnt actually turn on. It does this upon each keypress and does not skip a beat.
- I tried to connect the power supply directly into the laptop WITHOUT the battery connected, and it does the same thing. As for the battery indicator light, it does not stay on as it normally would when the power is connected to it.
NOTE: I have NEVER used my laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected; it is always attached since I know its a power hog.
- I have checked for any smells of burning/melting and there are none. The laptop was also not that hot when it cut off suddenly.
- Ive blown the mainboard/underside with compressed air and removed all of the dust
- Ive made sure the fan was clear and connected
- Ive reseated the RAM
- I have NOT tried another power brick; the one I received was refurbished.
- The LED on the power brick lights up but nothing is coming into the machine
- I have not had the laptop 10 months and its always connected to the wall/power outlet
So if it is the motherboard, I wouldnt be too surprised but Ive know MSi to make excellent motherboards, hence the reason I spent 2500.00 on it. A fellow IT friend said I may want to try a new power supply that has the exact specs your laptop needs. As if its possible the load on the end of the power brick that goes into my laptop may be done for.
I removed the Battery and noticed this:
The inside of the laptop after removing the battery say
MS 1762
DC Rating 19V=9.5A
My Battery says (MSi battery)
11.1 Vdc = 7800mAh, 87 Wh
..But the power brick reads
Input 100-240 V ~2A 50-60Hz
Output 19.5 Volts =7.7 A
He suggested trying a new power suppy but Im concerned its the motherboard (because us IT Guys know the motherboard will get you everytime)
So is it possible? Im not sure why they may have given me the wrong power brick, if it is wrong. He says the specs dont add up, and since each time I press the button and the white light flickers and part of the keyboard, he said it may be the power bricks' node that connects to my machine. Im used to motherboards that are done for the machine shows no sighns, no hints, no flickers. This is atleast flickering, just not coming on .
I know its alot to read and I appreciate all of the techs/other users time.

Thanks guys. Your input is not falling on deaf ears and it seems im getting reputable support via the forums with the MSi tech team.
It really is so weird. Today I tried the process of elimination from a video I saw on you tube. Now, keep in mind, each time the power button is pressed with either their power brick/battery alone in the machine, the power light and the 'battery' indicator light at the front of the machine flicker (each keypress; even if you do it rapidly).
I took the bottom tray off and checked the fan and blew it out with compressed air. Checked the thermal paste under the processor heatsink, checked the processor condition and all looks well there.
Tested by removing one connection at a time then testing for power (all along while testing, keep in mind I only have the 19.5v 7.7 amp power brick.)
- removed D:/ drive secondary then checked for continuity; no luck
- removed all 4 ram sticks and tested one at a time with the power supply connected; no continuity
- removed the keyboard ribbon cable and tested; still no luck
- removed (what I believe to be) the usb ribbon cable (hub with 3.0 ports) and tested for any indicator lights; still no luck
- unplugged the cmos for 5 mins and reconnected; still no luck
*NOTE: when I look underneath of the laptop when pressing the power button, the fan that has the gpu and the cpu heatsinks up against, it actually spins for a brief second; about as long as the power button flashes.
I stopped at some stores looking for a 180+ watt adapter and i couldnt find one that carried it. I wanted to test it before purchasing, so Ive avoided online purchase up to this point. However, I do realize I need one anyway at this point regardless.
My buddy has his own PC Repair shop. He doesnt have a power brick of that magnitude, but cant we get a voltmeter and check for continuity from not only the power supply, but also the jack soldered on the motherboard?
He is saying kinda what Dark is saying... Me, I think its a short somewhere... he thinks the computer asked for too much power from the power supply and probably burnt out the tip because at the time it cut off, I was playing a graphic intensive game, and in my USB 3.0 ports on a single hub, I had the following connected:
- A Logitech USB headset (wired)
- an XBOX 360 wired controller
- A Logitech G700 gaming mouse charging
Ive never had that many power hungry devices connected to one hub at one time before.

MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE (Dominator Pro) - help needed

If I buy MSI GT70 2PE-1616NE laptop, and if I want to clean install Windows 7 into it (it becomes with Windows 8.1 pre-installed), do I have to configure something, why I ask is that this laptop has 256 Gb SSD MSI Super RAID and I assume that it needs some configuring to get it work like it should. It's not like HDD though.

No, you shouldn't need to configure anything except changing some settings in the BIOS (set it to boot in Legacy mode), and I would also ensure that you use the MSI Burn Recovery tools to make a recovery DVD(s) or recovery USB, in case you decide to ever go back to Windows 8.

Both are already Enabled in the BIOS version that you using.
But as far i can understand you need to disable the trusted executions

MSI GT70 20D USB 3.0 ports not recognising USB 3 devices.

Yesterday, I received my MSI GT70 Haswell/GTX780 laptop.
I have had a shedload of headaches with it so far, not least of all due these laptops coming with Windows 8 on. Most of the issues that I had, have been resolved now that i have gotten rid of Windows 8 and put Windows 7 back on, I guess the remaining blanks will have to be filled in when Windows 7 drivers become available. One problem that persists into my laptops life with Windows 7 however, is that the USB 3.0 ports do not work, at least not with USB 3 devices.
Does anyone else with these laptops have this problem and does anyone have any ideas on how to get it fixed?

Quote from: Prohor on 25-August-13, 22:18:32
Finally I resolve this problem. After huge search on the net I found that the older firmware versions of many USB 3 storage devices have compatibility issues with the Haswell chipset USB 3 controlers. I updated the firmwares of my W.D. external drives and the laptop recognized immediately the drives and used them with USB 3 speeds. After one month with this problem I am very dissapointed with MSI support. It isn't possible that I am only one customer with this problem. This informations and solution It should be suggested from the support MSI team on our first contact. The fact that they didn't shows that the MSI support team don't knowing the compatibility issues of their machines hardware. I hope that in the next time will do their job.
To start off, you're a bit mis-informed.
This is a users to users forum. We are not paid by MSI. We do this in our free time because we enjoy it.
Second, did you actually contact MSI support? *WE* here on the forums are not MSI support. I re-read the thread and you have not mentioned anywhere in it that you contacted the actual MSI support team.
On the rest, thanks for atleast clarifying how you resolved the problem. I did not know this, and I'll do my best to inform other users that have this problem about it as well.
