Technical Issue with MSI GT70 0ND-492US

I've had this issue intermittently since I bought this laptop. I have had a software issue(I believe) since I got it, and it's a bit of a nuisance, so I was wondering if you knew any fixes.When something goes full screen, or I tab out of a game, my display will not pop up. Sounds will play so the game or whatever is working, but there is no display, just a backlit black screen and I have no way to get back to having a screen aside from restarting my laptop. It's rather annoying, and I was wondering if you guys have any ideas as to what this could be.

What games?
Are you setting them to Fullscreen Windowed mode? Or fullscreen non-windowed mode? Games generally don't like alt+tab unless they are run in Windowed mode (which tends to perform worse than in non-windowed mode).

  • 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

  • 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.

  • MSI GT70 0ND BIOS unlock request for intel vt-x virtualization

    Hi, I'd like to request an unlocked bios for an MSI GT70 0ND.
    I'm trying to enable intel VT-X virtualization, so I tried the official bioses as indicated here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158790.0
    However neither of the windows 7 64bit bioses seemed to change anything, although the 30U version reactivated the raid settings which I had set to ahci.
    I should also mention that the guide for flashing the bios on the official page indicated that after flashing the bios and waiting 15 seconds with no power and battery out, that there would be a screen saying 'CMOS Checksum Bad' but this didn't happen. It simply turned off again really quick, and restarted with seemingly the exact same bios. However I know it did something because with the 30U version the raid options were re-enabled.
    Looking furthur I found this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160434.0
    Indicating that I should request an unlocked bios.
    I've already sent svet a donation. The confirmation is : 83957137919249941
    Svet, Can you please make for me a custom bios with as many things enabled as possible including Intel VT-X?

    Hello, what is your current BIOS version?

  • MSI GT70 0ND-490NE

    Hi! Is adapter 957-16F21P-101 (19,5V, 9,2A output) Compatible with my msi gt70 0ND-490NE (Battery says output range 19V 9,5A, old adapter had 19V, 9,5A). Im currently running on battery. Could the new adapter harm my laptop?

    There's actually 2 places for the memory. 2 sticks are right under the keyboard, 2 sticks are on the bottom accessible by removing the bottom plastic panel.
    My GT70 came with 12 GB (4GB x 3). 2 sticks were under the keyboard, 1 stick was on the bottom. I added another on the bottom for 16 GB.
    Anyway, all that aside, if you have questions on disassembling the GT70, go to the following guide, it's very accurate:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/uploads/156/MS-1762_Disassembly_guide.pdf
    That should be able to help you with removing the memory sticks.
    If I was in your shoes, I'd consider just buying all new memory. It will probably cost more for you to RMA the memory or laptop (in shipping it to wherever it would need to go) than to just purchase some new memory.
    Thanks for help
    I just removed the Ram on DIMM slot 3 and now im working with 24GB ram without any problems

  • MSI GT70 0ND - Upgrading Video card

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

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

  • MSI GT70 0ND-622AU - Accessing BIOS/Finding Windows Product Key

    Hi,
    Looking for answers to the following questions on my MSI GT70 0ND-622AU please.
    1. How do I access the BIOS? There's no "Press blah for setup" prompt when powering on. Only an MSI screen.
    2. How can I locate my Windows 8 Product Key. There's no stickers on these laptops including under the battery. I'd like to install an SSD as the primary drive and assume I'll be needing it to install the OS.
    Thanking you in advance

    Per Microsoft's new rules, the key must be embedded inside of BIOS, which will only activate with matching edition.
    You can use http://rweverything.com/ to check your ACPI -> MSDM to find out what your key is.
    However, if you still cannot activate your OS then you will need use recovery DVDs to restore the OS back to the stock one.

  • IOMMU (VD-T) support in MSI GT70 0ND us492

    Hello,
    I recently purchased the MSI GT70 0ND us492 and loving it! 
    I also need linux on my machine and i prefered using oracle VirtualBox rather then dual boot.
    In order for my linux to recognize my geforce card (for CUDA and graphics in Ubuntu) on my virtual machine I require IOMMU support.
    I know that the CPU chip supports VD-t (intel's IOMMU) but i have no idea about the motherboard inside the notebook.
    I can't event find the motherboard name in the notebook. 
    I would love some help, or at least to know if it's supported.
    maybe i need to update my BOIS?
    Edit: if i need to update bios how do i know if i need to flash the x50 or the x70 version (AHCI or RAID)?
    Thanks a lot!

    If your laptop is running the SUPER-RAID or you have two Hard Drives in RAID then you need the RAID BIOS, if your OS is intalled on one HDD your need the AHCI.
    I believe you have the same exact model I do so you want the one WITH RAID.
    I'm not sure of this but you may need to have Svet unlock your BIOS to see the Virtualization options. See this thread for more information on that.

  • 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<<

  • GT70 0ND-492US Powercord problem.

    Hey, I'm in New Zealand and just purchased a GT70 0ND-492US and found that the cord that goes into the power-brick is not the correct type (however, the cord which is connected to the brick and goes into the laptop is correct). I am wondering if a standard Desktop PSU 3 pin Kettle cord will work with this power-brick (as at the M/F port exchange they both state 10A 250V), without causing any internal damage to the laptop.
    Thanks! Luke.

    I wouldn't worry about the laptop as much as I would worry about the power brick. Most likely, as long as the correct voltages are going to the correct pins, it won't matter.
    From what I remember about Austrailia/New Zealand AC Power, it shouldn't matter much. If you have the correct adapter from another computer to plug into the wall outlet and the power brick, just try it. It shouldn't hurt anything, as these cables should all be pretty standard at this point.

  • Medion Erazer X7825 + GTX870M with MSI GT70 Bios possible ?

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

    SSE is an exclusive program for MSI Gaming Notebook; not for OEM product.
