MSI GT70 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Error

Having trouble using the Intel USB 3.0 on the MSI GT70 when using it with my Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle.
The Intensity Shuttle does work properly on my current EVGA X58 system.
When initializing the video on the Intensity Shuttle it blinks a few times and then the driver fails and can't reconnect. I made a short video that will sum it all up.
I've also spent hours updating to current MSI, Intel, Blackmagic, and Windows drivers.
Long story short... "It doesn't just work."
In case the link doesn't work please search youtube for "MSI GT70 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Error" and you'll find it.
Any help would be great! Thanks! ~J

Asked the guys at Blackmagic Design if they would be updating the driver to work with Intel 3.0 hubs and the new chipsets, this is their reply.
"We make the Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 and software for it. The USB 3.0
solutions that are available, like the Intel USB 3.0 hubs would not
necessarily be made by a software implementation.
The issues can either be hardware or driver specific. If the Intensity
Shuttle on the MSI GT70 is not working, you can check the manufacture for
any software updates that they may have or make available."
So I'm guessing that they won't be updating their drivers specifically...
Could you please send me the "renesas usb 3.0 driver" that worked for your setup..?
Thanks a bunch for all the help! ~J

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.

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.

Request Unlocked BIOS for MSI GT70 0ND

Please HELP! I'm in need of the unlocked BIOS for my MSI GT70 0ND Laptop. Mostly for the virtualization.
My current BIOS - E1762IMS.30M & EC Version - 1762EMS1 Ver 4.05.
Could you PLEASE help me? Also, how much do I need to donate to make this happen?
Thanks in advance! Russell.

Hate to bump up a new thread, but I am also in need of virtualization. I'll happily send a donation also. I tried MSI's bios update, which won't run on 32 bit systems(generates an error). It also won't run on 64 bit systems (only runs on 32 bit systems). I can't believe that MSI put out a laptop and disabled virtualization. I wish that they would have made that clear before I purchased a laptop with 32 GB's of RAM.
You have to use proper way to flash the BIOS like by following this msi guide:
http://www.msi.com/html/pdf/How_to_make_a_bootable_flash_disk_and_to_flash_BIOS_f.pdf
or even more simplest with >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Quote from: MSINoVirtual on 06-August-12, 12:25:18
Okay, I just sent a donation also. Hope this works on my MSI GT70. I'm in desperate need of unlocking the BIOS.
Check PM for unlocked BIOS

Where to download MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher?

Nice redesign of the MSI forums, however it seems to have broken all download links I could find for the MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher -- which I am in desperate need of.
For example, the link mentioned at http://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-flash-the-bios-successfully just redirects you to the forums with the message "An error has occured!"
Could anyone please point me to a reliable source for the MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher? Thanks!

Quote from: Nichrome on 23-November-14, 19:07:42
Well according to MSI you should be using MFlash in order to restore a bad BIOS
Things are still not up and running, so this may take a while before things get back (if they planned to get them back).
Sadly I don't have forum flasher on me.. maybe other mod has one.
In the sticky https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.0 I found the FPT flasher for socket 1150 boards. Just finished fixing my primary BIOS! All is well again!!!
That's a huge relief. Now I could update my secondary BIOS to 1.7 without fear.

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 2OD eSATA Port

I might be asking a stupid question here but where is the eSATA port on the MSI GT70 2OD?
On the MSI website under specification it states (sorry can't seem to post a hyperlink):
eSATA 1
eSATA/USB Combo 1
If it is one of the USB ports, what type of adapter do I need to use eSATA (without loosing performance by running under USB)

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-770m
According to that it is supported.
I'm not certain how well it will work, but it should. I would assume it does over Display Port, but I honestly have no idea as I don't have any.

MSI GT70 - which ones are required drivers and apps? Which ones are optional?

I have MSI GT70 0ND but I suppose lots of things will overlap with other GT70 even GT60 owners (Windows 8 x64). So which onces are needed and what are they? I will post some that I know, then ask you about the rest:
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-0ND.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8%2064
DRIVERS
Realtek HD Audio - is this the orange sound icon for additional effects? If Yes, then I will use it
Intel(R) Chipset - main driver, download
Intel N2230 Bluetooth 4.0 - is this the bluetooth driver?
Realtek Card Reader - is this for adding memory cards in the slot, thus the driver for it?
NVIDIA Geforce GT670M/670MX/675M Graphic Card - best is from Nvidia site, latest
(Beta) NVIDIA Geforce/Quadro Graphic Card - this is for some other video cards, I dont need that right?
Intel HD Graphics Family_Intel Ivy Bridge - now what is this? Does any1 know, so that I decide if I will use it?
Synaptics Touchpad - that's my touchpad
Intel N2230 Wireless LAN
Qualcomm WLAN Killer N1202+ Bluetooth - Is this like the above case with video graphics, just need to choose 1 of them for Bigfoot killer, or both? Which one should I choose?
Intel Rapid Storage Technology - no idea what this is for and if I need to install it... so what is it?
Intel Management Engine - what is this?
Camera - it's clear duh
Intel USB 3.0 driver - for my USB 3.0 ports?
Radio Switch - what is this?
Intel RAID - and this? do I need it? I don't do enhancenements with software.. so
UTILITY
Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 Blu-ray patch - so I need this to play BluRay?
SCM
SCM (Only for Windows 8 upgraded from Windows 7.) - I know this is screen contrl manager but do I really need it? Can't I do - disable.enable wifi, bluetooth etc from Win8 without it? I think I won't use it
NVidia VGA OC - this I would need only if I am to overclock my videocard, right? (which I won't do). So is my 675MX using the 4GB since total memory when you see specs shows 1664MB and I think it is dedicated?
Keyboard LED Manager - that's for the lights of the keyboard, ofc I would use that
THX AP
THX EQ - I see it is for the sound but is it something needed, what does it do?
If you could answer about those so that I know which ones I will exclude, would be great

SCM
SCM (Only for Windows 8 upgraded from Windows 7.) - I know this is screen contrl manager but do I really need it? Can't I do - disable.enable wifi, bluetooth etc from Win8 without it? I think I won't use it
Well, you don't know what SCM is. It's the System Control Manager. It is the most important tool at all. It is required for the system to work properly no hotkey will work without. Even e.g. enabling/disabling WLAN wouldn't work.
Quote
Radio Switch - what is this?
Bluetooth won't work in Windows 8 without the Radio Switch. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh450832(v=vs.85).aspx
Quote
Intel N2230 Bluetooth 4.0 - is this the bluetooth driver?
Yes.
Quote
Intel USB 3.0 driver - for my USB 3.0 ports?
Yes.
Quote
Realtek Card Reader - is this for adding memory cards in the slot, thus the driver for it?
Yes.
Quote

Yes, use the Nvidia latest if possible.
Quote
Intel N2230 Wireless LAN
Qualcomm WLAN Killer N1202+ Bluetooth - Is this like the above case with video graphics, just need to choose 1 of them for Bigfoot killer, or both? Which one should I choose?
The Intel lan driver is for the Intel lan, Qualcomm WLAN Killer N1202+ Bluetooth is for the additional Killer NIC.
Quote
Intel Rapid Storage Technology - no idea what this is for and if I need to install it... so what is it?
Yes you need it, http://www.intel.de/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/rapid-storage-technology.html
Quote
Intel Management Engine - what is this?
ME controls Intel hardware, such as chip sets, storage, and other components. There will be an unknown device if you won't install ME.
Quote
Intel RAID - and this? do I need it? I don't do enhancenements with software.. so
You need it if your notebook came with the optional Super Raid and before installing Win8.
Quote
Intel HD Graphics Family_Intel Ivy Bridge - now what is this? Does any1 know, so that I decide if I will use it?
It's the driver for the cpu's integrated gpu which is used for non-3D applications instead of the GeForce.
Quote
NVidia VGA OC - this I would need only if I am to overclock my videocard, right?
This is used to utilize the gpu's boost via the turbo button if using SCM as well. It doesn't allow any manual overclocking.
Quote
Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 Blu-ray patch - so I need this to play BluRay?
Yes.
Quote
THX AP
THX EQ - I see it is for the sound but is it something needed, what does it do?
It adds the advanced THX True Studio Pro to enhance sound.

MSI GT70 0ND : Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hi,
I just bought a MSI GT70 0ND 1212xfr :
CPU : i7-3630QM
GPU : Nvidia GTX 675MX
RAM : 8 Go
HDD : 750 Go 7200 trs/min
OS : Windows 8.1 (installed by myself)
I tried several drivers but i always get this error message when the laptop has to switch on the GTX 675MX instead of the Intel HD4000 :
Quote
Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
But finally the GTX 675MX is not enabled so i can't use my graphic card.

Already done and it didn't change anything but i found a temporary solution : i set the nvidia parameters to start my game with the GTX, the message still appears but next the game is running with the GTX. I didn't try with another game. I hope it will works too.

Attempted to do this via General > Remove and Reinstall windows, with no joy telling me i need a bootup disk/usb
So i have purchased one of ebay that seems to have done the trick on alot of other machines, however i am unable to boot from it
I have attempted to boot from it via Advanced start up, however this menu doesnt seem to have as many options as other videos ive seen e.g doesnt have the troubleshooting option or UEFI firmware options
Im really struggling any help deeply appreciated

What laptop do you have? GT70 0NE? 20C? What? GT70 helps, but it's not enough.
Did you bother making the recovery DVD's/ISO's using MSI Burn Recovery? This should have popped up the first time you booted your computer.

MSI GT70 Help with finding NVIDIA drivers

I just bought an MSI GT70 which has a Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M GPU. I tried updating to the latest driver detected by my Nvidia Experience (v.320.490) but, it gave me an error that it is unable to install because the hardware cant be detected. I tried the next best thing which is the main Nvidia website. When I tried the Detect my Gpu button and it detected it it said "Your product manufacturer requires you to download a driver for your device from their website". So I went to the MSI website but I can't seem to find the notebook driver. Also tried the Live Update but that seems to only update your inegrated graphics. I need some help updating my GPU guys. Thanks in advance.

Thanks It Installed but I'm afraid I hit a road block. You see when I installed the driver I tried to go the Nvidia Control Panel and I couldn't find it. I checked my Nvidia Experience and it says that my driver is up to date but when I looked at My Rig panel but the GPU section is blank. Thought it was odd so i went to Device Manager to check whats up. Under Device Status I had this message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". I tried restarting the laptop a few times with an extremely horrible results. Every time I restarted my computer just started with a black screen and froze there ( I waited 30 minutes and I'm sure that was enough to know it froze). Although I did find a back door which was um.. I'm not sure which Fx it was because I just spammed them all ( this was after the multiple restarts). This took me to a menu which gave me the option to start windows normally able to access the laptop. From here I thought to Roll Back the driver. To my luck this was a success now my computer works fine and I am able to access the Nvidia control panel like nothing happen. I'm sure it the correct driver since its the same laptop I bought. Now this is were I need help from you guys any ideas why the driver is doing this? ( Oh and I re-downloaded and installed the driver a few times so I know there is a problem.) Sorry for the trouble and Thanks in advance.

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
