MSI GT70 BIOS Upgrade

I recently purchased an MSI GT7 0NC laptop. When trying to run VirtualBox software, I realized that hardware virtualization was disabled. There is no option in the BIOS currently on my laptop to enable this feature. I did some research and found out that if I update the BIOS, the option to enable hardware virtualization should become available. There are two downloads on the MSI website for the most recent BIOS for the GT70.
Which BIOS do I download? The one that says "for RAID systems only" or the one that says for "non-RAID systems only"?
Once I download the correct BIOS, how exactly do I install it on my computer?
Detailed instructions will be much appreciated. Thank you!

That will depend on which version of the notebook you bought; either the RAID version (with two hard disks) or the non-RAID (with one hard disk).

MSI GT70 202US upgraded to win 8.1. Lots of issues

hi,
i recently upgraded my msi gt70 202us from win 7 to win 8.1 to increase the performance on BF4.
i am facing alot of problems. i just hate this lan card. bigfoot killer networks has the most unreliable hardware and drivers. i cant get the software or the drivers to install. upon trying to install the latest version Bigfoot Networks Killer Network Manager 6.1.0.603 (64Bit) i am getting an error saying
"Your hardware is not supported on this version of windows. The installer cannot continue"
although this version is compatible with win 8.1 as said on the website.
I am trying to just install the drivers and that is not working either.
I tried installing the earlier version, that didnt help either.
and i cannot get the keyboard backlight to work or the eject cd tray option. can someone please help me with this.
and on additional note i would like to update the bios aswell. can someone please help me with that too. I havent updated my bios ever, but i have upgraded from win 7 to 8.1. as i read somewhere upgrading the bios on my model which came with win 7 is not suitable. is there a safe way to update bios.

If your laptop came with Windows 7 then you should install Windows 7 BIOS only. However if you want all keys work then install Firmware for Windows 8.
Again, James, you are wrong.
Re-read your sentence again (if you can understand your own sentences).....
They do NOT need to install the Firmware (or EC firmware) in order for it to work in Windows 8. They need to stay with the Windows 7 EC firmware that originally came installed on their laptop. SCM and everything else work just fine under Windows 8 (and 8.1.....if it works at all) using the EC firmware for Windows 7. How do I know this? I have a Windows 7 based GT70 with everything working fine in Windows 8. Not only this, but it's been said over and over and over. Apparently still hasn't sunk in yet though for some people.
Its ok, these things can get very confusing for some people.

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

MSI GT70 0ND - Upgrading Video card

Hello! I currently own an MSI GT70 0ND with a gtx 675m gpu in it. Im looking into upgrading it to the 770m which I was told should fit fine. Thats mainly my question here, does anyone know for sure if the 770m will fit properly with the heat sync? The cards are identical aside from the Chip themselves on the board. I'd like to assume all would be well considering the 770m's chip is slightly smaller in width.
Thank you for any information :D

Laptopvideo2go. it's the Place to get video drivers when others fail; all new hardware gets added to the infs instantly when revealed.
NVIDIA_DEV.11E0 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M" is supported in the latest inf;
download http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/335.23/335.23-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe
and unzip it into a drawer.
download modified inf http://laptopvideo2go.com/infs/335series/33523_win8x64/nv_dispi.inf
copy the modified inf into the Display.Driver drawer and then run setup - hope it works. If not, try another driver with a modified inf.
It worked as far as installing, but after rebooting the laptop goes to a blue screen. Looking at the screenshot, does this have MSI bios? Will I have to flash it to MSI?

Medion Erazer X7825 + GTX870M with MSI GT70 Bios possible ?

Hi,
I do I get Medion X7825 Erazer with an original bios. I plan an MSI GTX870M 3GB (from a GT60 2PC), along with a full color backlight keyboard to operate in this unit (from a GT70 0ND). For that I would like to use the MSI GT70 2PC Bios and the EC firmware so I can use the SSE. If this is possible without any problems? I know that the power sensor strip has a few other features, but I could also use the sensor bar from GT70 0ND, that would be no problem.
Bios: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
EC Firmware: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT70-2PC-Dominator.html#down-firmware&Win8.1%2064
Furthermore, the BIOS files from MSI are current as of the Medion also by far and the fan control has also been improved significantly.
Actually, this should nevertheless funktioneren perfectly. When I think of the predecessor because, as you could use in the MS-1762 devices of the MSI Medion 51x BIOS to use newer video cards. The devices have been introduced after the Biosflash as MSI GT70 0ND.

MSI GT70 0NC - upgrade from i5-3230M to i7-3610QM?

Hi Guys,
Can You upgrade MSI GT70 0NC from i5-3230M to i7-3610QM? Has anyone of You tried that? How does laptop perform after such change? Is it stable?
i5 is unfortunately not performing well, when I try to play with virtualisation, so I'm looking if I can simply get more powerfull i7 onboard. Then I'll add 16 GB of Kingston RAM + SSD drive, and it should perform well... I hope.

You can refer to this media review result:

MSi GT70 Bios driver problem for windows 7

I downgrade my msi laptop from windows 8 to 7, i did find al the drivers but the bios once didnt work for 7 and the msi website have does driver for 7 but nothing. Do i have to go back to 8 until they fix that??
Thanks

You shouldn't install anything you find especially not from bios section! weren't you reading what it says there? Your laptop came with win8 pre-installed and you can't crossflash to a Win7 version. Please read the warnings.

As you see I have an ultimate laptop. But the problem ud that the laptop not giving the performance that I'm looking for.
When I checked with CPU-Z i found that the CPU, GPU and RAM not giving their full perfornane. For exalmple the RAM. it should be 1866MHz but in CPU-Z it shows that it works only on 900 MHz which is almost 50% of what it should be.Even the CPU & GPU same problem.When I google I found that there is some sitting in bios need to be increased.But unfortunatily my bios is locked and I cannot do anything for ram cpu and gpu.also I need to overclock gpu & cpu and get maximum performance using this laptop
So if anyone can help me in this issue will be highly appreciated.Thanks

yes, double post and also in wrong section was removed.
here is the reply:
Quote from: Froggy Gremlin
CPU-Z reads 900? That is correct for 1800. DDR=Double Data Rate, 2X900=1800. Probably produce too much excessive heat anyway even if the BIOS was unlocked and the VGA and CPU were OC'd.

or exalmple the RAM. it should be 1866MHz but in CPU-Z it shows that it works only on 900 MHz which is almost 50% of what it should be
900 means 1800 as Froggy said
I can unlocked the BIOS and you can play with memory timings and speed. But your ram is already running in near top shape.

GPU OC is not depend of BIOS, but vbios
about CPU, yes some blck which to allow some OC could be possible,
but its not guaranteed. some people report that they has no effect, while others can get some further CPU OC.

MSI GT70 2PC Bios update (Legacy mode)

Hi!
I've got a GT70 2PC notebook with Win7 64bits installed, and I want to update its BIOS.
I've downloaded the last version (117 version, I think, because I haven't got RAID), but I couldn't update it, because its BIOS files are to UEFI Bios update, not the DOS version.... I haven't got the Flash.bat file to update it, only a file called "E1763IMS.117"...
What should I do?
Thanks a lot

Please help me how i restart my laptop again, it’s possible or i need to buy a new motherboard?
Thanks.
PD: I unplugged the battery CMOS and turn it on but still is in black screen. PLEASE HELP!!!!

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 (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?
