UPATE 2:
Uninstalled Nvidia Drivers and restarted PC.
Installed as Administrator fresh install .
Still same problems.
UPDATE 3:
Reinstalled Windows 10 from usb "clean install".
Still games start with Intel Graphics card ,even changing them at nvidia control panel to launch with nvidia doesn't help

GPU Usage 0%
UPDATE 4 SOLUTION:
Somehow everything started to work on its own, maybe there was some kind of download on the background of windows, and before formating to windows 8 back, I decided to restart windows few times, and everything got fixed.
Thats my strange solution.

Thats my strange solution..... At least its working
So I suggest you to do every possible update on windows and 10 do few restarts, there are some background updates that we can't track probably, so let them settle and restart pc.

MSi GE70 Apache Pro w/ nVidia GeForce GTX 860M Graphics Issues

Hi there,
I recently purchased an MSi gaming notebook with nVidia GTX 860M graphics. However, just recently I've been having game-breaking issues with textures rendering, artifacts and particles as well as the drivers crashing now and again(desktop flashing and flickering).
I've only had this laptop for just over two months and am quite disappointed with issues coming up already.
To get to the specifics; I have recently been playing through the Mass Effect trilogy and, just the other day, started up a file in Skyrim. The following screenshots show my biggest issues aside from the obviously serious driver crashing issues. I believe the issues started maybe a month into owning this laptop and since it has been getting progressively worse. I feel as though I have been all over the internet trying to find a fix to this, I've tried everything suggested, everything that I could think of, and I am just about ready to have it sent back. I was hoping someone may have some other options before I do send it in.

On the title screen for Mass Effect 3 I get these consistent blue and red glowing orbs, they also occur on several other maps within gameplay.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a9c47w320u5xylb/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2043%2016%20AM.jpg?dl=0
Once I get in-game, this occurs everywhere. Textures "expanding" off of characters into random points.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v37un4vespalosx/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2045%2036%20AM.jpg?dl=0
This happens occassionally on characters; ridiculously shadowed faces to the point where they are barely recognisable.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8cebgs4t10ghnh0/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2046%2020%20AM.jpg?dl=0
On almost all wall textures there are white glowing particles like the ones behind the character here. In extreme cases, the wall becomes a texture of textures. All of the textures in the game are miniaturized into a wall of textures on certain objects.
I've also had signs and the game's menus and interface stretched and skewed all over the place. If I continue to play it with the above issues, the game eventually hangs and I have to alt+tab out and back in, or close it using the task manager. All of these issues also occur in Skyrim and any game using the same, or similar, engines. The only game I have been able to play almost seamlessly without any issues is Ragnarok Online 2, an online MMORPG.
I have tried the following:
nVidia's GeForce Control Panel: any and all combination of options.
Re-installing video drivers.
Re-installing DirectX and PhysX.
Formatting and a fresh install of Windows and all games and drivers.
Any other troubleshooting other forums have provided.
Removing the pagefile for virtual memory limits.
Using Intel HD graphics to test for other issues.
PC/nVidia power settings.
The one time I thought it may be fixed, all it took was me plugging in my laptop to cause the issues all over again. I've tried downloading MSi Afterburner to check GPU temperatures and I rarely even go over 65~70. I'm absolutely out of ideas. It was suggested to me by a family member that it may be a hardware issue, hence the consideration for sending it in.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit
nVidia GeForce GTX 860M
Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
12GB of RAM
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. I would really rather not have to send it back. I've also posted this over at the nVidia forums because I'm -hoping- it's a software issue.
Thanks in advance!

To me it sounds like a hardware issue (especially if you have rolled back to factory default and reinstalled from scratch)
It wouldn't be a hardware issue since you can play other games without problem.
Easiest way to tell if it's a hardware issue or not is to run the benchmark tool for example 3DMark 11 and see if the problem also happens during the benchmark.
For the rendering problem you were talking, please provide not only the problem picture but also the picture without problem to let us make the comparison.
I'm sorry to say, but some of the picture I'm not really getting what the problem you're talking about.
For the shadow face, here are few user provided fix which might be helpful.

Re-installing DirectX and PhysX.
NVIDIA moderator says some of the games is required to play some older Physx games, but not sure if it works.
If you would like to have a try.

I'd suggest to post the issue on EA, steam or obioware and see if there are people looking into it.

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
I previously had a problem with my Laptop dying randomly you can read about it in the thread entitled Computer dies Randomly (Battery also dead) click to view
Before I realised the solutions, I thought that maybe my Laptop had become infected with a Virus and decided it would be prudent to do a clean install of the Windows XP operating system.
Everything went perfectly and thought a clean install was a good opportunity to download the “XP Service Pack 3” SP3 and did so, it seemed very quiet though and that’s when I realised I had no sound…
I downloaded all of the sound drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for 3000 N100 (I knew from previous experience that the “SOUNDMAX” driver is the only one that actually works with this 3000 N100) in order to install this you have to install the Realtek HD audio driver, but in order to install that you have to install some other Driver/Soft that only works with SP1 or SP2 if you try to install it with SP3 it will say that you don’t need the file as your Service pack is newer than the file you want to install, this is understandable as SP3 is not final as of yet (but it’s good to know).
My next problem was that my extra RAM was not detected, this was fixed by updating the BIOS, after installing all of the System updates, PC Doctor, everything I could find for 3000 N100 I decided to rest, I pushed the Lenovo care button and it did not work, I found a hot key driver and installed it but still the Lenovo care button does not work, previously when I pushed this button it would bring up the Lenovo menu but now it’s just a dead button, Does anyone know how to get this button working again?
I am pretty sure that everything else is working fine now, just that button not working is very annoying, is there a set routing of installs you must do to get everything working, i.e. bios 1st audio 2nd system update 3rd etc...
Please help, I hope I have helped you...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok first everything works now... except the Lenovo Care button, I just posted the other stuff cause it might help other members, I have searched the forum for an anwser to this problem but there was only one anwser (suggesting to uninstall the driver restart and re-install it) and it did not result in a working Lenovo Care button...
I don't beleive the Lenovo keyboad drivers are in any way related to the Service pack 3 as they do not use the Service pack files, to back this up I also had the same problem when Service Pack 2 was installed...
The Lenovo Care button works fine on Boot up screen to access the rescue and recovery software (So the mechanics of the button are fine) but once Windows XP loads it is just a dead button, I remember it used to open up the Lenovo Care Start bar, I got it working once in the past but I can't remember what I did, I thought someone here might know the anwser...

After Effect errors with GeForce GTX 860M !!

Hello everybody,
I have tried the trial version of After Effect on my brand new laptop MSI GE70-2PE048FR with Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M CUDA v6 - Mobile QuadCore Intel Core i7-4700HQ, 3300 MHz (33 x 100) and Im getting errors while trying to render a test composition using the GPU... First the GPU was not recognized so I modified a file in After Effect diretory and then it get recognized. Even before that, I tried to force the use of the GPU (with checking the special checkbox to force it in the GPU INFO PANEL of After Effect CC) and it was getting the sames errors anyways !
I have been using and testing MSI factory NVidia drivers v332.35 that are not even available on NVidia web site and I have been teting with NVidia BETA drivers v337.50. Got same results.
My configuration :
Thanks for any advice.
I would like to know if after effect is planning to support this GPU ? When ? Or anyone have any clue resoving these errors ?

Restore shipped applications after Windows 8 clean install

I am considering upgrading to Windows 8 by doing a clean install but would like to use some of the pre-installed applications, PowerGo, PowerDVD10 and PowerCinema that came with the A720.
Anyone had any success in reinstalling / recovering any of the applications that shipped with the Windows 7 version of the A720?
I am intending to call Lenovo Support to ask for a backup disk for these applications, has this worked for anyone else?
Thanks

Reading the Windows 8 upgrade instructions they recommend that you conduct a clean install
"Note: Some models can only support the clean install upgrade method. For IdeaCentre models, Lenovo suggests performing a clean install to upgrade to Windows® 8."
Anyone had any success installing Windows 8 over Windows 7?

Can't launch games from GeForce GPU

I can only launch games from the Intel GPU (which is shockingly good on USF4, Saints Row IV, Gat Out Of Hell and other games it shouldn't be running so well).... But can't launch with my GeForce GT 750m. Now check this out: I recently reformatted and this happened. I've tried the newest drivers, older drivers, even the extremely outdated ones from the HP site... Both the intel and Nvidea... I've tried uninstalling both of them (completely) and re-installing. I am at a complete loss and doubt anyone here will be able to help me, but it's far better than sending this thing into be repaired by the incompetent, rude, mindless, lazy people at the HP Repair center. (I paid $250 for a watranty, but fear using it again because all the do is damage my computer and break something new every time they fix something. Likeseriously, I feel sorry for people who actually pay for HP repairs as they just mindlessly replace things that aren't broke and do an even more shady job than China)

I was able to still purchase TV Shows and Music individually, but the darn games wont delete. Today I ordered a 3G Nano as a X-mas gift for my son and just want to buy the new version of Tetris, but some games that I was considering for my 5G Video in the past wont go away.......
I have recently rebuilt my library file (very painful) and the games are STILL THERE! The shopping cart items appear to be linked to our Apple ID's and not the iTunes library.xml or DB file.
Hopefully Apple will get this fixed soon!

Can i install geforce gtx 750 ti on my h9-1170t pc?

can i install geforce 750 ti on my h9-1170t pc?

Soughy85, welcome to the forum.
The problem with installing the GTX 750 ti is that it requires UEFI Firmware in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS, HP didn't begin using UEFI in the motherboard until mid-October, 2012. Here is a card that has a switch that allows it to work with a standard BIOS and UEFI. The only problem may be the length of the card. It is 9.84". You can make a template the size of the card and try it in the space to see if it fits with room for good airflow.

L7780 All in One - Windows 7 Clean Install - Error when printing

I have a huge problem with a failry new L7780 all in one. I has stopped printing from my laptop. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 with a clean install from Vista....ergo I formated the disk and then reinstalled Windows 7 . And, now every time I print I get the following message "the job has failed due to an error on the printing system"
The printer is selected as default.
The printer does connect through wireless onto my network , and does appear on my PC as connected. However, once I press print after a few seconds it seems to disappear.
I have not altered any network settings and MAC address is off on my router. It was working fine on 2 Home pc's running XP, worked great with Vista. And its only this one Laptop with Windows 7 that can't print to it for some reason.
However, sometimes when I have shutdown...all of a sudden it prints out what I asked it to 30 minutes ago.
I have tried installed and re-installing drivers.
I have tried forced start ups .
Switching it off at the mains.
Resetting the network adpater.
I can only think at this stage there is a compatibility issue with Windows 7.
Any clues? Any help anyone can offer.
Cheers,
Steve

If this sounds like your issue:
After installing the product on a network, you turn the computer off, and then on, and the product loses functionality. The product no longer prints and the product icon disappears from the Devices and Printers menu in Windows 7 (64-bit).

Windows 7 Clean Install on SSD

I have an X60 Tablet and a W700ds both with Lenovo OEM Samsung SSDs installed. I'd like to install WIndows 7 64 on the W700 and WIndows 7 32 on the X60 Tablet. I have read a bit about SSDs needing to be formatted and the OS needing to be installed a certain way to avoid problems later. Is there a guide or can you write a reply with the steps needed to clean install on both of these machines. I'd also like to get as much of the EE I can on the X60, but definitely want to get the entire EE with the W700 I paid so dearly for. The WIndows 7 64 Ultimate disc is coming from Lenovo so perhaps it's already optimized for EE?
Please direct me to a guide, or post one here. My capabilities as a computer user are high for someone that is NOT in a computer industry so I am not afraid to do things that may be considered risky for someone computer illiterate.
Since I only have Vista on the hidden R&R partition, I plan to eliminate that and just use Acronis since I already own it. Too bad I can't get restore discs with the Windows 7 preload for both machines.

Hi, I'm afraid I can't give a guide. However, I did this upgrade on a T400s with an SSD, and it did not go smooth for me. What happened was I chose the custom option but did not format the drive. After a while it failed giving me a message it could not find all required files. Then I started again, the SSD was then full and the wizard told me I had to format. I did and it installed a generic Win7 with no Thinkpad drivers. I then pulled the Thinkvantage Toolbox from the 2nd CD and eventually I managed to most of the drivers through that program. Some were still missing (notably the Express Card and the Ericsson Mobile Broadband adapter which I got manually when I finally understood which ones were missing). I'd recommend downloading as many drivers as possible from the website in advance. Good luck!

Windows 7 clean install on U500-1DD activation issues

Hello,
I have a problem with my newly purchased U500-1DD notebook. I didn't like the way the auto-manager partitioned the hard-drive, so I went ahead and formatted all partitions and split them according to my needs. The problem is that the laptop, although it came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, didn't have the Windows 7 install cd/dvd nor any other ultility cd/dvd's. I went and downloaded a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit from Microsoft's MSDNA whatever, installed it, but when I try to activate it using the cd-key on the sticker on the back of the laptop, it says invalid cd-key.
I rechecked the cd-key and I wrote it correctly. On the sticker it says Windows 7 Home Prem OA . Do I need a special Win7 kit or something ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi -- I couldn't find the "message user" button.
I have a similar problem -- well, I'm not there yet, I'm in the planning stages of replacing my laptops harddrive. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7, and I have the "Windows 7 Home Prem OA" product key on the sticker slapped to the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have an OEM copy/iso of Windows 7.
I suppose I could wait for the call in thing to happen, but I would like to have everything ready and set in stone before I dive into this project.
Now, I've seen that you can get the OEM version off of torrents, but I don't really like that idea. I've never trusted torrents, and with something as important as an entire operating system I REALLY don't trust torrents.
So, my question is did they give you an official link to the OEM iso? If they did, I would really be that. (and, if it's up on an official website, I don't think there's any problems with posting the address here)
Thanks!

Windows 7 Clean Install on T500 with Vista

So my thinkpad t500 was infected (the entire recover area was also infected). It came with Vista and I just got the recovery media CDs for Vista. But I don't want to install Vista. I have a legitimate copy of Windows 7 that I purchased and completely formatted the entire laptop (all the partitions including the recovery media partitions which were infected). IBM does not sell Win 7 recovery media (if your laptop came with vista installed) unfortunately.
Now I have win 7 working but I have no internet connection.
I tried to install Thinkvantage 5.02 so that thinkvantage can automatically download the drivers (but the internet connection is not working so that is not going anywhere).
I had downloaded a couple of drivers from lenovo's website. I installed one of them called 7vr722ww.exe. It did not work (no internet connection). When I go to device manager the network adapters say they are upto date.
Any help with downloading and fixing the OS would be great. A step by step approach would be better. I saw some tutorials online but they are not very useful but I could have missed something here.
I tried this tutorial : http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/642274-patchysans-guide-clean-installing-windows-7-thinkpad.h...
and could not go beyond step 8 (updating drivers does not work). I also don't have anything beyond the recovery discs for vista (not windows 7). I looked for any executables in the two recovery cds for vista but found none.
Thanks for any help that anyone may be able to offer.

Ok I am using 32 bit system (or I think I was but I accidentally installed using the 64 bit dvd! I am going to do another clean install to fix this tomorrow)
This time around (on my second/third attempt at clean re install) I kept the wifi radio signal on and win 7 installation asked me for a password and I entered it at it worked! (had some issues because I was trying to simultaneously connect via ethernet but once I unplugged the ethernet cable I am now online using my clean installed machine).
I am now downloading thinkvantage system update and it is downloading a lot of recommended and other drivers.
In my third time around clean install I deleted the 2 partitions that my thinkpad came with and combined all into one partition and formatted it (so as to avoid the virus from re emerging , unless the virus in the bios in which case I don't know what I can do).
Win 7 created its own 100 MB partition and lets hope that thinkvantage does the right thing and creates the recovery media and cds which I may then use to create my own recovery CDs for this computer.
I see that system update has ended the downloads and installs but I dont see any system recovery options. How do I get the recovery and rescue software on this ?
There is something strange that win 7 (and vista on t500 ) does: the computer freezes upon startup and I have to ctrl+alt+del and then click on task manager to unfreeze it. Is this happening with other people?
I must say that buying lenovo's thinkpad is like the most awful experience ever. I have a 2004 thinkpad from IBM and it still works just fine (with xp) and works better than my brand new 2009 T500! ... the T500 by lenovo is just awful. Months after buying it the right button of the mouse on the laptop stopped working. I use an external mouse now because I did not have the time to send and mail the entire laptop (I had to make do and now the warranty has expired and they wont even renew it!). When I try to type on the keyboard I accidentally triger the laptop's half functioning mouse ! it is just an awful experience altogether with the shoddy workmanship and garish clunkiness of design.

Windows 7 Clean Install on Pavilion M6 1000so

Hi.
I have a Pavilion M6 1000so with an AMD A70M chipset / controller.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a windows 7 (x64) driver to load when trying to do a clean install of Windows 7?
(I cant see the disk drive in windows 7 setup)
Thanks.

Hi, Frank:
Your notebook should not require any additional drivers to install W7.
Below is the link to the W7 x64 driver download page for your notebook.

You will first need to visit the AMD website to install the chipset driver, which you should install first and reboot before installing the graphics and audio drivers.
You want to download and install the first file listed.

If you need to get the AHCI driver, you can use a free file extraction utility like 7-zip and extract the AHCI driver out of the chipset download. It will be in the Packages folder.
If you made your own W7 installation media, most likely the issue you are having is due to a bad burn of the DVD or an incomplete ISO file download.

Xp pro clean install on sata but can't get it access my old raid hdd setup

Hi,
I got the Neo4 nforce4 platinum board and i originally setup 2 300gb maxtor ide hdds to raid which had my old xp pro setup but its seen better days and wasn't legit but i own officially now and decided to do a clean install to the 250gb sata hdd i have. install went well with the exception of loading up the nvraid and storage controller during install which for some odd reason wouldn't copy to the sata hdd but none the less everything runs correctly and after i reenabled the raid, thats where i have a problem.
now after it was set in the bios and rebooted, windows found it as an unknown device which i then set it to the legacy nvraid setup files and installed fine but the problem is that it shows the raid hdd but gives me no access (nor did it come up with the correct name for the drive that was set but the size given was correct) and looking at computer management, it tells me i need to initize a drive which happens to be one of the 300gb hdds thats part of the raid ??? so from seeing that i know theres something wrong so i'm asking what can i do to correct this and get access to the files I already have on it? i don't want to lose what i got on the raided hdds, just wanna burn off whats needed and then wipe the hdd's.

Guys, I Finally got it to show up correctly I first did a mistake with changing the primary ide to nvidia's driver in which caused a BSOD lucky enough last known good option worked and going back to device manager, i noticed it mentioned a dual ide under secondary ide which i thought i'd try the nvidia driver on. sure nuff, after a reboot it found the 2 hdd's as raid and installing the drivers for them gave me access like before
Thanks for the help guys tho theres still one last thing i need to go and change now that i noticed it: the northbridge fan died and i searched around the forum and saw a few ppl recomend but i'm not sure what i can really fit as a replacement due to my Evga 6800u + nvsilencer 5 and didn't see any of the topic mention someone with the same. any suggestions on that?

Lighting effects filter not available on PScc - using windows 8.1 with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card

I have Photoshop cc and Lightroom 5.5. My computer runs windows 8.1, 64 bit, with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.
I am trying to use the lighting effects filter, but it is grayed out so I cannot select it.
Can you tell me what I need to change in order to use the lighting effects filter?

This is the Lightroom forum. I don't use the lighting effects very often in Photoshop. But if I recall correctly, it will only work on 8-bit images.
