MSI GT70 freezes

Hi.
Got a brand new MSI GT70, witch really pisses me off for the time being, almost every time I exit a game, it goes a min. and then it freezes... Now and then it freezes randomly in win or in game as well... I'm considering to install Win 7 really, hopeing that that solve the problem, but then again, if it dosen't, I don't have win 8 install disk, since that didn't follow the laptop... Any recommandations what to do about the freezing? Have used RegCure Pro to fix registry fails+++, but it still freezes:-(

Bios did not fix it....
Been looking around more in the event log, and this seem to occur everytime some seconds before:

  • Nvidia in Laptop MSI GT70 card didn't work

    Hi I have Laptop MSI GT70
    Contains a card /nvidia GeForce GTX 680M /4GB
    The problem is that the card whenever preoccupied Crisis 3 game or the big picture in the developed Steam computer screen becomes black and freezes computer I want you to solve the problem you quickly
    Knowing I got the last update for the card.

    Hello. I'm having the same problem since days and what I've found don't reassure me. (GE70-OND, with Geforce 680M)
    So far it looks like it's impossible to use the NVIDIA card, only the intel HD 4000. I've re-installed the NVIDIA drivers multiple times, completely or not, using the lastest drivers or those from the disk and it still doesn't work. Right now I've made wiped all files and make a clean installation but still the Geforce doesn't seem to work.
    In particular if I open the NVIDIA pannel and go to the first option, where NVIDIA show a video to see the 3D, it crashes telling me the nvidia drivers has stopped worked and the screen blink black a second, and it does that repeatedly without the video ever working.
    I've had crashes for multiple games, such as Darksider. Deus Ex: Human Revolution also allowed to pick which graphic card to use on the setup, there I saw that with Intel HD 4000 I could launch the game. But if I picked Geforce 680M the program suddenly stopped working, just by selecting the card, not even by launching the game.
    I'm running out of idea so if anyone has any please help.

  • Nvidia and intel crash on a new MSI GT70 OD

    Hi!
    A few days ago I bought the MSI GT70 OD. For a few hours the computer worked fine, but after playing Elder Scrolls online for a few hours the problems started. First I got the following message: Display Driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version xxx.xx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
    The computer did freeze, so I had to press the power button to restart it. After this I tried to play Star Wars the old Republic, and the same thing did happen. After this crash, I got several more crashes just browsing on the internet and even when I did nothing at all.
    After this I had to reinstall the whole OS. But it didn't work at all, I got the same crash over and over again. On top of that, the intergrated GPU, the Intel HD 4600 started to crash. I even got the dpc watchdog violation message.
    I've tried different solutions, like installing the latest drivers, older drivers, changed power and graphic settings from balanced to high performance. But nothing works, absolutely nothing at all. I'm desperate. My friend have the same computer and the same problem I saved the dump files from the crashes that did happen after I reinstalled the OS. Is there a way to upload them to the forum? I would be so grateful if someone could take a look at them and locate the problem. =/
    Kind regards
    Oskar

  • MSI GT70 Crashes and Blue Screens

    I just bought an MSI GT70 and have had it crash every time I browse the web and try to play anything.  I've updated my drivers to try and fix it as well as trying a reset to factory defaults.  So far I haven't had any luck.  It doesn't seem to mind just sitting there but when I play anything it will do one of 3 things.  It will crash the program and send me back to the desktop, it will restart the computer, or it will blue screen.  I've never really had issues like this before so anything that might help would be appreciated.
    And Posted in the wrong Section    What a wonderful start.

  • 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-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

  • [SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

    Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
    Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
    The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
    - Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
    - Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
    - Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
    - I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
    At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
    I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
    Thanks!

    Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
    If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
    Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
    Hi,
    I followed your advice:
    1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
    2. installed SCM, restarted
    3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
    4. resat the EC
    But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.
    Do anybody have a suggestion to solve this??
    Thanks Kurt

  • 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.

    Quote from: James D on 24-December-13, 03:10:50
    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 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 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.

  • Adding mSATA/mSSd to a MSI GT70 2OD-407US

    Hi,
    I'm a new owner of an MSI GT70 (wife finally let me buy one). I'm not at all new to modding computers of varies calipers. I honestly haven't been in the game in 3 years and coming back up the ladder because the technology has changed. I've kinda been in a geeks purgatory(married and in the ARMY), so life's been really busy for me and has not allowed me to keep up with current tech.
    My Question. Modding my GT70 2OD-497US:
    MAXing RAM to 16GBs, Easy. that's a no brainer.
    where I need help is adding mSata/mSSD to my MSI to use it as a boot drive for the Window 7 Home Premium it comes with.. Thinking about add 128/256GB as boot and recovery as well as other important files and using the 1 TB 7200RPM HDD as pure storage to run programs, videos, movies, and music off of. (I'm not a big gamer)
    I have not received my MSI yet and won't touch it for another month or so. I have plenty of time to figure it out. This question been raking my brain for a week, so that's why I'm post for some help. 
    Any information no matter if you're "talking above my head or not" is highly appreciative. If I think I don't know what you're talking about I will ask questions and do tons of research.. I used to be at the top of the GEEK food chain, but starting at the bottom now. I don't mind admitting that. The Army and marriage takes a lot of my time.
    Add-on to message: I do not know if the GT70 2OD-407US comes with the msata slot board, it should, but can't seem to verify. If not I can buy one.

    So lets back this up with a number of facts.
    I can't find any information about the GT70 2OD-497US so....
    Does the notebook come with an SSD?
    If it does, then you will have the "Super Raid" adapter that lets you put mSATA drives into the laptop.
    If it does NOT, then you will NOT have the "Super Raid" adapter, and you will not be able to put mSATA drives into the laptop.....without attaining a Super Raid adapter. This is difficult. MSI will NOT sell them. If you are LUCKY, you might be able to talk to a distributor or company that offers customized MSI notebooks into selling you just the adapter, but I'm not sure they will. If they will not, you're pretty much SoL. Supposedly there was a chinese company selling the adapters, but I don't recall the name or if they still are.
    In all honesty, if you don't have the adapter, I would just order a regular 2.5" SSD drive instead and live with it.
    A couple of other things I can suggest.
    Get at a minimum a 240/256GB SSD. You'll find that after installing Windows and such you only have roughly 75 gigs maybe left on your 128GB SSD. And I just don't think that's enough. The 240/256GB drives are cheap enough now that you shouldn't have any problems getting it.
    When you partition your SSD, only partition it for about 85% of the total space (so 85% of 256GB = 215 GB). Leave the rest of it unpartitioned. This is called over-provisioning, and will help to maintain the overall speed of the SSD (read/write speed) during the entire life of the SSD. The reason it does this is because it provides more space for TRIM to work, even if you completely fill the partition you created. If you had fully partitioned the drive, and almost filled it, the speed would start to deteriorate because there isn't enough 'space' to do TRIM anymore and it has to work harder to do it, causing your overall read/write speed to decrease. This is especially bad on Samsung drives.  (for more information, go search around on www.anandtech.com, plenty of good information and benchmarks to backup my statements)
    Other than those tips, you should be good to go.....BUT!
    The VERY FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER LOGGING INTO YOUR NEW NOTEBOOK? Please please please create the backup DVD's! MSI does not provide backup media inside the box. You need to make these on your own using the included MSI Burn Recovery software.
