MSI GX60 Destroyer Start up and Sound Issues

Once again I have encountered an error where after receiving a new update for Windows 8.1, I now have the issue where start up programs will no longer start up for over an hour or longer from when the system starts, as well as I can no longer turn on my sound as I constantly receive the error message "The Audio Service is not running" and anything I try will not restart it whatsoever.
I have had this issue before and due to extra issues, I have had to completely send off the system for repairs at the repair center. However, I feel that this is more being caused by the update itself, also seeming as this will be the third time within around 2-3 months I have had to send this system off, if I cannot solve it without sending the system off I will likely be seeking a refund instead due to the negative experience with this system.

Those links don't help as I already tried some of those solutions, the issue isn't that I have a slight delay, its that the programs don't load for around an hour or more at the moment. Also I still have the audio issue with the system as well and now I recently found I can no longer go into the control panel either.
Then your issue isn't related to the system not working at all. It really sounds to me that you have a virus of some kind. Do you use a virus scanner?
Do you install questionable material? (aka pirated games/software?)
The more and more that you actually go into detail about the 'problems', the more it seems to me that you've got a virus.
Lastly, you really need to do a much better job explaining what the problems are. Giving people trying to help you half the story (oh, yeah, also audio doesn't work and I can't go into control panel....) only leads to us not being able to help you. You might want to look into this to get a better idea of what information will get you a better response much quicker:

[Solved] Network problems with MSI GX60 Destroyer, killer newtork LAN and wireless

Hi, I bought a MSI GX60 Destroyer 2 weeks ago, and I realized that my internet was a little slow, you don't realize in the web but when downloading it doesn't perform how it should, I tested the speed now with wireless and I got 5 mb/s, and I have 20 mb/s in my house (I also tested with cellphones and other pc's), with LAN the speed was normal, so I saw some forums about the Killer network, I tried to change the drivers but nothing, the wireless is limited to 5 mb/s and now my LAN too.... please help, my phone has 4x better internet than my GAMING Laptop.
Also the Atheros drivers are a pain in the ass it's really hard to remove them.
I'm now with the drivers without the Management app.

Hi Tzin,
Which graphics driver are you using?
The quick stream is installed on the notebook with the generic graphics driver from the AMD website.
If you install the AMD's generic graphics driver, you'll find the quick stream program in your Uninstall programs window.(Control Panel> Uninstall a program)
Hi hch , i only can find the "amd cystal manager " under the unintall a program , so when i click into in then only saw the device but dont see the quick stream .

3 : How hard Ssd raid, is how to install Windows? I do whatever I want to install Windows from my driver! Where can I get the drivers?
Thank you

Ok, I got word back from my MSI rep. Apparently, it's a limitation on the RAM that is used for the video card. Other laptops that use the HD8970M or R9 M290X that are not MSI suffer from this as well. This is an AMD goof-up, not MSI's, so don't get mad at MSI. The rep said that they tried to overclock to 1200MHz, but got BSOD's all the time. The rep assures me that the gaming experience is minimally affected (so nothing you'd notice, like 1-2 FPS difference)

Mega 180: MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and other issues...

I just get hand on a MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and installed it on my Mega PC unfortunatelly whenever i open the tray using the mega pc front panel button it will hang my mega pc badly and i have to reboot.
However i found a trick: It will not hang if i open the DVD using the Drive button, it is not convenient but at last works...
Other issue i have with my Mega PC:
* If i connect my USB bluetooth dongle the mega PC will not boot
* Sometimes after booting i loose the sound (nvmixer wont load complaining there is no nforce sound chipset on my mega pc !!) and i have to unplug the power for a while to get it back
* The remote control is crappy unless you can stay 2 meter and aim exactly at the mega pc...anybody found a replacement ??
* The last one was one of my RAM was corrupted and make my PC crash every days or so and corrupt some of my files on the HD :( :( it took me 3 months to find the problem....
Do you know if MSI have any plan to fix these issues some days ??? i am getting tired and thinking of replace my Mega PC with some shuttles ....

Thanks for the advice and here are my reply:
For DVD i want a 16x DVD writer i already tried several devices out there and this one will be my latest try..i can accomodate to eject with the drive button for now...I was hopping that using a MSI model would make it compatible but this one is not... :(
For missing sound devices i use the latest nforce drivers and i already found the root cause on this forum, it seems that if you start the PC when the HIFI mode is already open it will lock the sound device in HIFI and the PC mode cannot find it. The solution is to switch off HIFI mode BEFORE going PC mode...well weird
For USB bluetooth well it would have been nice to leave it all the time because i use it to synch my sony erricson P900 anyway i heard that it is a bios firmware problem so i am back to sync with the phone craddle (USB craddle but this one will not freeze the boot) The USB bluetooth is a PCI GW-BH02U.

SD Card Issues and Sound Issues

Hello all,
I bought my Xperia Z2 probably 2-3 months ago and I have to say I do love this phone.
However I have come across a few issues that seems to be, not so common as I cannot find any solutions online (Which is why I'm here).
I am having 2 issues:
1st Issue:
SD Card Issue, this is a funny one as I have not been able to identify what actually causes this issue. Now this all started (or when I started to realise the issue) when I changed some settings in the Camera App. I saw that it was saving photos to "Internal Storage" and since I specifically bought a new SD card for the Xperia Z2, I wanted to store photos on the SD card instead.
So I changed it to SD Card Storage and all is well (At least, that is what I thought).
After taking some photos one day, I got home and wanted to preview them, in the photos app and Album (Sony's Photo Previewer) it shows that the photo is corrupted or missing (Depending on which app I'm using). This really annoyed me as the photos I took seems to be all lost and corrupted. So I tried to use a file explorer (Including File Commander) to find the actual file and open it, but it seems to have the same problem. I get this grey background with a picture of a mountain with like a thunderbolt sign (Broken sign).
Following this, I have also tried to copy some video files onto the SD card and it has been giving me troubles too. I tried to copy videos onto the SD card in 2 ways, first way is to take the SD card out, connect it to a SD card reader and plug that into the computer. After it finished copying onto the SD card, the files would just disappear (I use computers a lot and this was very surprising and new to me... It's like the SD card deleted the files right after it was copied, or maybe even 'hid' the files).
So since that method didn't work I thought I would try putting the SD card back into the phone and connect the phone to the computer then use Sony's MediaGO (Computer App) to transfer the videos and it sort of worked this time. I copied 14 videos over and only the first 2 videos are working, the others are all "Media is missing" or of some sort. I checked the video's format and they are all either .avi or .mp4 which I don't think is a problem as the first 2 videos are in .avi so surely other .avi videos would work too? Guess not...
So it seems like I am having troubles with Video and Photos on the SD card as music is working 100% fine. Used Media GO to copy the music on and it's all working wonderfully.
Some of you might suggest formatting the SD Card, I will say I have... I have tried the above methods before formatting AND after formatting (Formatting using Xperia Z2, or shall I say "erase").
The SD card I have is Sandisk's 64GB Ultra (I bought this to anticipate 4K or at least 1080p video recordings).
If the issue here is SD Card compatibility and I was silly enough to not have seen that prior, then I would gladly admit it's my fault and be happy that the solution would simply mean to buy another SD card.
But that said, I highly doubt that would be the issue due to the fact that the SD card is made for performance (Not the best performance as the Extreme and Extreme Pro range are a lot better) and the card is new.
2nd Issue:
Now this issue is not as bad as the first issue, it's something to do with the sound. I understand the phone has 3 sound controls, one for the Ringtone for when you get a notification or/and phone call, one for Media and one for Alarm.
What I do is I have the Ringtone volume sitting at around 50% and Media will be dependent as I change it when I open an app but the issue I've been having is this:
If I open an app (Mainly games that has sound/music) and I change the Media volume to say 70% or even 20%, whenever I get a notification whilst in-app the notification volume seems to be at 100% no matter what I do with the media volume. This is weird as my default Ringtone/Notification volume is sitting very low at around 50% or even if I change it to 20%.
What am I missing here? Any thoughts?
With the above 2 issues, last resort would be to factory reset my phone but will be willing to do it if there's a high chance of the issue getting fixed.
Your thoughts will be greatly received as right now I'm just lost and not sure what to do with the issues. I'm slowly getting the feeling that I should just give up on the phone and use it for phone calls, music and forget about the whole photo/video taking which is very sad as I love the phone's photo/video taking features.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Rickard,
Thank you for the link, I have started the test and 10 minutes into the test the speed for writing dropped. Anyways I only managed to get through in writing 8GB of data then I gave up. I then started to verify that 8GB of data that was written on the SD Card.
I have to say, it does seem like that SD Card is defective
Thank you for providing the link, what I will do now is get another SD Card and see if the problem is still there.
If the problem goes away I would consider my 1st issue being solved
However I am still not sure about my 2nd issue as this is not related to the SD card. Even without the SD card in the phone I seem to be experiencing this problem.
It's frustrating sometimes as if I'm trying to keep the volume down and play a game I can't because any notifications that comes through will be at 100% volume.
Perhaps there's a setting I'm missing?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Pixelated Graphics and Sound Issue (Gt70 2pc dominator gtx 870m)

Sup.
Bought my first MSI gaming notebook a couple days ago. It's fairly nice but it seems I'm having a couple issues.
First:
Sound issue. I have a Turtlebeach Z22 headset. When using it on my MSI laptop I get a series of pops every couple words. The Z22 uses both usb and aux for the mic/headphones and I have tried everything from swithcing jacks, usb ports, updating drivers and playing around with realtek settings. No dice.
Second: For some reason in game cutscenes have a lot of pixelation.
I have tried crysis 2 and farcry 3 so far on max settings. Any sort of cutscene that uses a video clip (like Farcry's video tutorials) has a lot of pixelation and is sometimes fuzzy. The games are usually fine for the most part. I have updated my gfx drivers played with gfx setting and set launching options to Nvidia as global.
Any ideas?

Do you mean the pop sound? It would be better if you can share a video or sound record of the situation.

Quiet manay people talk about the issue, try to change the game setting to improve the situation.

RAM Preview framerate and sound issues

The same story as usual. A beginner who can't get the framerate right or the sound to play in the RAM Preview. Well then:
Ae CS6.11.0.0378, I think
Demo version
7,9 g ram allocatable
Win7 proffesional
Only .avi and .mp4, can't tell much more than that
All other common factors can think of vary between the layers, with no difference.
Sound preview set to 10 minutes
No mute-related settings activated
Sound and volume checked for each individual layer
I don't know what more to submit, there's probably a lot.
It's quite simple. No sound in the RAM preview, and it keeps freezing, not responding when I start it, and playing at random speeds. The sound does play in sound preview. The framerate is set to auto.
That's about all I can think of. It probably needs a lot more detail required, but not anything I can think of. Any help appreciated.

You can get the frame rate right by dragging a clip in question onto the Make Comp icon at the bottom of the project window.
If you're fooling around with time -- time stretch, time remapping, posterize time, time displacement -- or using Rotobrush or Warp Stabilizer -- you should know that AE doesn't like mp4's as the source video. No telling about the avi.
There could also be compressed audio in the video files, and AE has never played nice with compressed audio.

Apple TV 2.3 and sound issues

The 2.3 update seems to have cured the hang and reboot issues that were introduced in 2.2, BUT now when my TV show audio playback contains sounds like "ssssss", car engines, or white noise, I'm getting a strange oscillation in the audio. It's pretty irritating.
Anyone else?

MSI GX60 1AC Win8 Drivers of sound and touchpad

My question is: are the drivers provided by msi on site of the product the modified somehow versions of generic drivers, or maybe it's better to go to realtek site and synaptics site and download newst ones?

Those drivers are not modified.

Yosemite graphics and sound issues

this is my computer:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
i have been dealing with a very inconsistent problem since i've downloaded yosemite.
I'll start with the one consistency.
my computer no longer chimes at start up. Thought it was a hardware problem. I have run an AHT to no avail. no problems detected. although it may be an issue with the lack of RAM seeing as 'the internet' recommends at least 8GB for Yosemite.
itunes takes approx. 10 minutes to open. (also may be a RAM problem to this is regardless of whether anything else is running)
as does iphoto
Now the inconsistent stuff:
the computer crashes when dealing with any time of image files may it be picture or video.
most of the time the computer will have some trouble playing video files and at times the whole computer will crash very spontaneously. I have updated the flashplayer as well as my media player of choice VLC. I do have stints when VLC will work just fine for several films but then will randomly crash.   When the computer crashes it will go into a start up loop of the gray apple screen to a blank gray screen which will then crash and restart again and again.
I can't, for some reason, never get the recovery mode to work. Command R takes an eternity and then goes to gray screen. Command D shows no problems.
I have reset the PRAM and SMC which at times works and at times doesn't in my quest to get past the gray blank screen.
after the computer has started up in my juggling act there is a graphics problem note.
youtube on safari is very glitchy. the glitchiness sort of began with Chrome so deleted it and started to use Safari sometimes no sound. sometimes the video lags. i have to move the scroll around a bit for it to work. once it gets the hang of it its fine though...
when the computer comes out of sleep it may take 30 seconds when i haven't used it for a while which i understand is a hardware sleep thing. i have heard stories of the black screen and functioning mouce and this happens here quite a bit. from 5 to 30 second of time. the main interesting point is that it at times starts up ok and at times will give me a very glitched out login screen, yet the login panel itself is fine.
i have been thinking about downgrading to maverick again or even lion for the sake of installing a new operating system and to deal with the RAM but i think there is a collection of minor problems and i don't really know what i'm doing completely. I will buy more RAM if this issues is salvageable. all in all i'm one those OMG my computer ***** now that i've downloaded yosemite people.
can someone please point me in a self suffiecent direction? are there any diagnostics i'm not looking into?   is my computer just too old for Yosemite? am I doomed to pay some mac wiz a ton of money? can all this just be a clunky OS and too little RAM?
i hope this helps other people and thanks for anything you have to add.

Also when I do a command R reboot, the computer freezes on the gray screen with the fan running vigorously. I have to shut it down by hand to do anything.

IPod Play/Pause and Sound Issue

After the recent 3.1.2 update I'm having a problem with my iPhone's sound cutting out. It's not the speaker because I can reboot the iPhone and it will come back. I'm also having the issue where when I hit the play button in the iPod app after it switches to the pause button it immediately reverts back to the play button. Has anyone had/resolved the issues?

I was just coming in here to search for an issue like this, and found this thread.
I started experiencing what seems like this same issue yesterday. When playing MUSIC ONLY on the iPod, iPhone 3G, random skipping, within the songs, pausing etc. is occurring. This is not occurring when playing podcasts however.
The other oddity here is it does not happen, when playing through headphones. It's only happening when using an auxiliary cable through my car stereo. I know there is nothing wrong with the jack, or plug, as other devices, including another phone\ipod work just fine.
I'm calling Apple regarding this as I literally just had the phone replaced due to a problem with the ring\vibrate switch falling off, so this is a new\replacment 3G. It's been updated to the latest of everything, so this is really disturbing me at this point.

Satellite A665 beeping and sound issue

I have a Satellite A665 and when I start the computer, there is a long high pitched beep initially and then as it goes for a short time through the start up process, prior to Windows, it beeps again. The beeping is coming from the bios, I believe since I have uninstalled the sound components in Device manager to test this. Once Windows 7 is completely booted up and the sound components are reloaded, the speaker icon vibrates and has a continuous loud hum. It is a high pitched hum that never goes away and the icon vibrates like crazy. I have reseated the RAM and am at an impasse as to what to do. It does sound like a BIOS issue but not sure what the next step may be. It is 2 years old and out of warranty.
Thanks!

I have not tried updating the bios since the sound was so severe I doubted that would help but I may try that.
I uninstalled all sound devices in Device Manager and then rebooted and the sound was unchanged. That is what leads me to believe the issue is not with the sound devices. I had the speakers unplugged and the devices uninstalled and the sound remained unchanged. The only part the sound system plays in all this is that the sound icon (little speaker in the lower right hand corner) vibrates like crazy once Windows boots up and the devices are reloaded. If you turn up the sound on the speakers, the hum or beep is constant and gets very loud.
I have been repairing computers for over 40 years and I have never seen anything like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

G5 start up and fan issue-tried evertything

I need advice here...I have a G5 iMac 20" flat screen that I purchased directly from Apple in 2005 and also had them add additional ram when I purchased it. I have had no problems with it other than fans running load on occasion. Here's what happened...I was working online and the computer froze, mouse and all, a force quit didn't work so I pulled the cord and tried a restart. The start up sound did not happen although it sounded like the computer was on. The screen remained dark and the power light came on and off. After about 1 minutes the fans kicked in very loud (think: plane taxing the runway loud). I have tried many restarts, sometimes the light comes on, sometimes it doesn't. I have unplugged everything, tried restarts after that, I have also gone through the steps to reset the PRAM and also the SMU with no change. Only one time did it actually start up, screen lit and progress bar moved but then everything froze halfway through the start up. I inserted the Disc 1 into the slot and attempted to start up using the disc (holding down the C key) and it turns on, no start up sound, I can hear the computer 'running' the disc but it will not fully start up, the screen is dark and I cannot eject the disc.
Am I dealing with a hard drive issue? Does the ram need to be moved to another slot? Help!

More than likely, when you pulled the cord you corrupted the drive. If you have access to DiskWarrior or TechToolPro, try running them. You can also take the back off and check the [LEDs|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2831] to try and pinpoint the problem.
By the way, to eject the disk, hold down the mouse button while powering off.

Slow Start up and other issues

Hi MBP users please help if u can...
I have a very slow start up time the last 2 days.
When finally up the hard disk is makes random ticking noises (not good when I'm recording music)
Also In the last couple of weeks I have been getting 'Random Shut Downs' Although this may have been due to a 'one click' surge protector and gang socket. This has been taken out of the loop and replaced with a standard gang socket - and I have no random shutdowns today.
I have read through previous posts regarding these issues and tried these solutions:
Verified disk permissions
Zapped the PRAM
Apple Hardware Test
Nothing has worked - so I figure its time to start afresh - with a complete re-install!
I'm not looking forward to this as my software (Logic Pro) will take an age to set up to my requirements
Just wondered if anyone may know of another solution
Also as a side-note when I start up - I sometimes see the Hard Disk as my previous lap-top name/image (G4 PowerBook) could this be part of the problem?

Could be - because of the disk image, you actually have two mountable disks with OS X systems on them. Having two Mac OSs is not a good idea, and since one of them is not a valid Mac OS for the Intel-based MBP, this is a problem. Your occasional flash of the wrong disk suggests that this is your problem.
You might try opening the disk image from the G4 and deleting the System folder from it - you don't need it, and that is a likely source of the problems...
Ps. 7+ minutes - wow!

Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

I have had my *Toshiba Satellite Pro* with *Windows XP* for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and has given me no problems until a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it came the very unwanted and unliked "Antivir Solutions" virus. I did everything I could to get rid of this disaster (thanks to the help of support forums) and I think I managed to get rid of it, but ever since then my computer has not been the same.
I was having trouble downloading a PDF document a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart which caused the computer to have a hissy fit, deleting my user account which meant I had to set all that up again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the time you press the "ON" button to when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes each time you click an icon for the program to actually start..
I have tried defragmenting the system and have tried uninstalling unused programs to speed the computer up, but it hasn't worked.
I have also run several antivirus programs (such as Norton, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure I have no nasties messing me up, but they come up clean.
May I also add- The sound is messed up also. Whether I use the inbuilt speakers or external speakers the sound is disjointed and broken. As is any Video I play.
I just don't know what to do.
I cannot really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 out of the 24 hours in each day...
*What can I do?*

Hi nicoletrist,
I dont know what notebook you have exactly but I think the slow Windows start is caused due the viruses that you have or had.
Few years ago I had also a virus and it was causing a very slow start up, it did take up to 10 minutes until Windows was loaded and the only solution to get rid of this was using Toshiba recovery disk.
I would recommend the same to you. Use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings and backup your data because everything on HDD will be deleted.
Im sure after using recovery disk your notebook will run like a charm again! :)
