MSI Gt70 Windows 8 Factory Reset problem

Hi, first time posting here
Ive owned an MSI gt70 laptop for around 6 months
Attempting to factory reset my laptop since its got clogged up with lots of crap and i feel that it has slightly dipped in performance
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
Regards
John

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 2PE-1620 Recovery problems (no F3 recovery)

Hi,
I'm the proud owner of e new MSI GT70 2PE-1620. But now I have some serious problems restoring Windows 8.1 back on it.
This GT70 has 3 SSD disk, in super RAID 0. For some reason the RAID failed and I to restore the RAID setup again. Which was successful. However my C partition was cleared. Now I have trouble resetting back the GT70 back to the factory setting, because the F3 function during startup does not function. The hidden partition with the MSI recovery files are still there: on the second disk (1 TB disk). I checked using Acronis Disk Manager.
I tried restoring back with a Windows disk (ISO download from the internet), but then I miss all my MSI tools and drivers. I do not have a MSI recovery CD/DVD disk.
Please help me to restore this GT70 back to its factory setting.
Secondly: can somebody tell me what the BIOS settings should be (factory setting) for this GT70. Ex.: should the boottype be UEFI or Legacy?

I've found a share which might be helpful.
Try this:
1. Run the command prompt as administrator.
2. Type "reagentc /info" and press enter to check the recovery image location and you should see it shows 0 as null.
3. Type "diskpart" and "list disk" to check your drives.
4. Select the HDD drive where your hidden partition is locate. Type "select disk X" (X is the disk of you HDD)
5. Type "list partition" to find your hidden partition. (You'll need the partition name for the recovery directory later.
6. Type "exit" to exit the diskpart, then enter "reagentc /setosimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk1\partition4\RecoveryImage\ /index 1"
(*Note: 1. The harddisk1 is the drive name of your HDD, where your hidden is locate. 2. partition4 is the partition name of your hidden partition you read from step5.)
After setting up, you can use the windows recovery to do the system restore.
This should be able to help you restore to the factory settings.
*You can only choose the option to restore your whole system, so please backup all your files before doing the restore.
Thanks! I will give this a try. I will you know if this worked. One question before I try this:
Will this help me restore to the SDD disk? The hidden partition with the restore files is on a 1TB disk. Originally drive D: in Windows. The SSD disk should be C:, the boot disk with the OS.
** UPDATE:
I booted using a USB HD with recovery Windows files, and open up the cmd window. It tried, but it can not find or recognize the "reagentc" command. What am I missing?

Factory reset problems f11 function not working

I have a pavilion zv5000 running windows xp and im trying to do a factory reset and the f11 function while booting will not work. can anyone help.

Hi deadweight1102, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to perform a factory reset. If the computer shows you the F11 option to do a factory reset, and it is not responding, then it is possible the recovery partition is damaged or non-existent.
Do you have recovery media, or Windows XP disks?

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition Nvidia Problem

First of all my first languages is'nt English if you can understand I would be gratefull.
I use MSI GT70 Dragon Edition with Ge force GTX 675 MX but Windows 8 doesn't recognise my graphic card.When I click the dxdiag I see Intel Graphic Cards.

Quote from: darkhawk on 14-January-13, 00:09:48
Yeah, ignore dxdiag and put a real 3D game in and see if it switches, thats the real test.
Wow am I late to the party. However I also fear that my GTX780M is not actually functioning in games with my GT70. How do I know for certain that it is "switching" from the Intel HD graphics. My distrust comes from the fact the in advanced tab under screen resolution (Windows 8) it always displays the Intel Graphics. The Nvidia card is listed as working in the device manager however. All of my power setting are set to gaming/high performance and in the Nvidia settings I have the GTX 780M set to global. Thanks is anyone can provide feedback.

Windows 8 upgrade - factory reset problem

Hi, one question. I have upgraded my Lenovo U310 from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I chose only uprade, so my folders stay. But now, I want to do the clean instalation, I bought backup DVD's from Microsoft. It doesn't work and it say's : some system informations doesn't exist. How can I fix this? Thank you for your answers.

True. I'm still not sure which is the problem... I guess you're having difficulties explaining in english. Maybe someone can lend you a hand? (I don't speak czech, so...)
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

SF300-24P console and factory reset problem

My company just bought a SF300-24P, got it configured without much issue. Today I try to get into it and I can't. Tried via HTTP and console and nothing happens. Decided to try to reset it using the button on the front. Using the documentation, I held down the button for over 10 seconds. Didn't reset to factory defaults, tried again and rebooted it, still nothing. What I am I doing wrong.
Also nothing comes up on console window and I'm using the setting for Hyper Terminal that the documentation says I should use.

I know It's late but I believe it is importante to make that register.
I just had the same problem and the solution was aroung the cable. When I used a straight serial cable, It worked well. Check the pinout/wiring:
1 --> 1
2 --> 2
3 --> 3
4 --> 4
5 --> 5
6 --> 6
7 --> 7
8 --> 8
9 can be left open
When I was trying to figure the problem out, I found Cisco 300 CLI Reference Guide (ver 1.3.7) wich tells we could use a null-modem or crossover serial cable. But it's not true.
Of course I must consider I was using an USB to serial adapter (my notebook doesn't have serial port). Perhaps it has created the straight cable issue. I don't know if it will occurs when using a native serial port.
Thanks for the Cisco online support wich helps me.
And I believe it will be interesting to Cisco check the cable pinout and add it on the manuals or website. I just can't find information about db9 f-f cable on any Cisco documentation (about 300 series, of course).
I hope it helps some people.
Kind Regards.

MSI GT70 -0NC - 494us fan problem

Hello there! im in need of help.
I cant use the turbo fan. It was working great but today i just power on the pc and got a big crash, then i procede to restart it (i never had a crash before) but when i restart it the turbo fan wasnt working. The fan works at a normal speed but no luck with the turbo. I download MSI afterburn but for some reason i cant control the fan. Anyone had this problem before? turbofan not working? i cant do nothing without the turbofan couse it gets too hot :X

Quote from: TheGaucho on 11-February-14, 02:01:44
The EC Firmware is the one you get from the msi download mage under firmware tab?.
Yes.
There is only 1 fan in the GT70 0NX series notebooks. I have an 0NE model, and I've had mine apart quite a bit....I would know.
Can you look at your window updates and see what .NET updates you have installed? A screenshot of all the updates might be helpful instead of just typing them all out.
Also, are you running Windows 7 or Windows 8?

Factory Reset problem (x200)

Using Rescue and Recovery, I reset my Thinkpad x200 to its factory settings. However, I left my external hard drive plugged in during the process. As a result:
- I get error messages at start up: "Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWMTR32V.DLL
- In addition, many applications are unaccessible (Internet Explorer).
- When I try to run Rescue and Recovery, nothing happens (it looks like it is loading initially but then no interface appears).
- When I use the Thinkvantage button on boot I don't get an option to restore, just resume startup, and enter BIOS or boot from a temporary device.
The letter of the HD have also changed: SW_Preload (D, Lenovo (Q, and SERVICEV003 (S. Note, my external drive is labled as C:
- When I try installing Rescue and Recovery 4.2 it says "There is not enough space on drive C:\ to extract this package." Which makes sense, when my external hard drive isn't plugged into my laptop. When I plug in my external hard drive, it continues to extract the files but then I get an error message just as the Install Shield Wizard is about to finish: "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed."
- When I try installing Windows Installer I get the error message: "Not enough storage is available to process this command"
My warrant is expired. No idea what else I should try. Windows Update doesn't work. I have trouble installing programs (ex. Chrome). Lenovo technical support says given that they cannot determine the issue unless I sent it in, they can only quote me the maximum repair cost of $500+ . . .

There are several reasons of troubles IMHO.
1. Where did you recover the laptop to the factory stage from?
2. Since I don't know the volumes and letters of x200 partitions did you remeber them? I think one of the problem now are matted partition letters. I think the SERVICE partition should be S: or w/o letter in factory version, SW_Preload - C;, Lenovo - Q:.
Do you have external Lenovo Recovery media with WinPE environment? Do you have Factory Recovery media on bootable externel device? Do you have access to the partition with archives of images for Factory Recovery Disks creating (I think it's Q: )?
You can't install the second copy of R&R on one machine so you see the such strange error message: "There is not enough space on drive C:\ to extract this package."
Also, what does your external drive consists?
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

MSI GT70 Dominator Pro - overheating problems

Hi all! I'm very interested in buying that notebook, but i've heard a lot about msi's overheating problems and it worries me. I am aware that gtx 880m requires a lot of cooling and i would like to know if those infamous overheating problems have been fixed ? i don't want to spend so much money on something that works for a month.... I play a lot and i am very demanding in this case, so i predict i'd be playing 4-5h/day on max settings. Will i have problems ? what to do to avoid it ?

You know what? I already buy it in china. and it's really high temperature .
For example. I play Call of duty 10, and no matter I open the full effect or normal effect , the temperature always can be 93C . I see the Weather temperature is only 20. and If I'm play Batman:Original full effect same problem, the 880m temperature is going to 90+ .I'm use normal effect and close the Physical , then the temperature on 82-85....
I'm very confuse, If the 880m very high temperature .... why use it on laptop.... because if always a high temperature, you really not good feeling to play anything, because high temperature will let you laptop retired more fast.
Any way I also buy a cooling pad, but looks like not any working....maybe that about the laptop inside design....
well, I search on Internet about GT70 design, and I think maybe the original thermal paste not good. So I buy IC Diamond 7 Carat ICD7 ,but I'm not use it yet. because the MSI chinese customer service tell me if you change it or reload it , They do not offer the warranty........looks like a joke......then what now.....? I don't know , some friend told me , it's fine to change the thermal paste, but I still warry, and I'm not continue play the game anymore....because every time the temperature on 90C. I don't any desire to play.
GT70 only 1 Fan for Radiating, not 2 like ROG or Alien, maybe that is a dead design.......
So, these all true story, and if any one has any idea or any advice, please tell me . thanks.
any way I just search the GT70 temperature problem and I in here join every one, so sorry for my bad English.

Factory reset Problem with nokia c3

After restoring all factory setting, all my downloaded apps when opened says, "invalid application"
why this happens? Please comment

Hi skpnc,
The hard reset wipes your phone memory only and will leave the memory card or mass storage untouched. If you lost some apps, they where installed on the phone memory.
To install your applications downloaded with Ovi store, please launch Nokia Store app on your phone, look for the application you want either in the application catalogue or select My Stuff > Download history,
then select the item and click Download button.
The other way to download applications involves opening the Nokia Store website http://store.nokia.com with your PC web browser.
When you have Nokia Suite running on your computer and your phone is connected to the computer with a USB cable, you can easily search and download free applications directly to your phone.
Please note that the maximum amount of re-downloads is 10 times per application.

Need help with MSI GT70 0NC-029NE bluescreen problems

I've just bought this new MSI computer, and downloaded a few programs like skype, steam, origins etc. When I open all of them at the same time, the bluescreen appears saying; memory management. The computer has 8gb ram, so it shouldnt really be a problem.
Would really be nice with some help on this as it is quite annoying

Quote

The amount of memory is not the problem, but a fault with the memory, or the memory controller (in the CPU) could be the problem.
Is there a particular program that causes this BSOD?
