--->The Official MSI GT780/GT783 Owner's Lounge<---

Yes the msi logo did appear , I hit del but no response and went to the error

 

Wow, that is very unusual. I'm just grabbing ideas here but try unplugging it, take the battery out and then hold the power button down for about 30 seconds. Then try getting into the BIOS.

If that still doesn't work, hit F11 at the MSI logo screen to see if it will bring up your boot manager, and if it does, does the Patriot Wildfire show up there?

 

I tried to unplug power and power on usin only battery but is the same , I just cannot go in to bios

I tried to press f11 or delete when the logo pop ouT

 

Hi Guys,

I have a GT780DXR-446US since Christmas, but the end of January I upgraded to an SSD. I undid the raid array, kept the second HDD for media, and of course had to reformat the second HDD. I changed the BIOS to AHCI mode for both drives. Installed Windows 7 x64, installed everything I needed (I think, mainly from the MSI website for ths model). Soon after (within a week or two) I started to get BSoDs all the time. Thought it was the Samsung drive and ended up returning to Amazon (it was out of stock and I couldn't wait) so I got a Crucial M4 256gb SSD. Did all the reinstalls...etc, but still getting a LOT of BSoDs related to MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Powered laptop down, took battery out, held power button to drain - nothing. Checked software I had installed, and nothing. I went back to the MSI site and noticed a different BIOS version for non-raid systems only. My machine has the E1761IMS.30H BIOS. According to MSI site, the 30H is for Raid systems only and the 10H is for NON-RAID. Do i need to downgrade to that bios version since I'm non RAID now?

Any ideas on my BSoDs...etc would really help. I'm driving my wife and myself crazy. I love this laptop but need to get it stable. Of course it's been opened so I'd rather not go back to MSI just yet. Any advice would help and I appreciate it!

Thanks!

 

Sometimes it just stuck on the msi logo

 

Did you run memory check?

Type memory in the search box.

How much memory installed?How many modules.

There's 2 slots under the keyboard for 2 modules and 2 more slots for 2 modules accessed through the bottom of the notebook.

I suggest removing all memory modules except 1.

Run the notebook with only that 1 memory module installed.

If all is well take that module out and put another one in.

Test all the modules this way,one at a time,to see if you have a bad module causing the BSODs.

You can also check for file system errors by running in an elevated command prompt(administrator) sfc /scannow and then press Enter

 

I KNEW a particular individual here bought WAY more notebook than they could handle, and only a matter of time before they were in a crisis..... on the weekend no less.

 

you took out the power cord but did not take out the battery, that is not what he said.

unplug the power, remove the battery and press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.

then put back the battery in and power cord and try to boot and go into the bios.

 

How do you exchange your Ssd ? Send back to gentechpc ?

 

He1p, it's probably a good idea to get with your reseller.... be patient, it's the weekend for goodness sakes. I am sure Ken will get with you shortly.

 

When I was at the error , I unplug power the remove battery tha press and hold the power

Put everything back still the same , it won't let me go bios

 

Having fun yet?

 

Guys, it's best He1p get with his reseller. First he post he cannot get into bios, then he ask about exchanging an SSD. Rather than leading him into various paths here, it really is best he deal with Ken.

OH GAWDdddddddddddddd! Touche! (WEEeeeeeeeeee!)

LOL!

 

Can you at least see the boot manager? Press F11 at the msi logo.

if you can then i think flashing your bios and EC might help. that's where i'd start. with a new fresh bios download, a freshly formated usbkey in fat32.

Follow the directions -=$tR|k3r=- gives here to the letter and get back to us.

 

I still think in He1p's case, he is best served dealing with Ken. I would make the same recommendation if he were any other reseller's client..... that he speak with Ken, LOL!

JUST KIDDING DONALD!

 

Transcend TS128GSSD25S-M 2.5" 128GB MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Comes as the primary drive in the MSI GT783 625US model. I ordered a Crucial M4 for my primary drive as well:

Amazon.com: Transcend 128 GB SATA-2 2.5-inch Solid State Drive: Electronics

 

The problem is whe I power on my pc

It just load the logo than the error

I did press f11 or delete when the msi logo but there is noting than it proceed to the error

 

This SSD info is linked in the threads lead post. (which no one reads)

Transcend 128GB, TS128GSSD25S-M

Power down, close lid, unplug from wall, watch TV, something..... till Ken gets back with you.

 

I've read it... and each and every single post in this thread.
That's informed buying. That's anti-compulsive-buying

 

Omg guys I think I fix it I took out my hard drives and is the same but I took out two rams behind and it suxcessful boot into windows

I gonna try put them back in

 

Smells like some bad memories... (grammatically incorrect lol)

Hope you nail it

 

@ MrSeaBass - thanks for the input I appreciate the help. Is everyone liking the GT780dxr446us?

 

okay folks i think i fixed it ..

I removed both ram behind of notebook and it worked


The main cause was hibernation

It was a serious fatal error


#1 i take out my SSD and HDD or swap them
#2 Run only SSD or HDD

Both of them did not work

So i was thinking while people are having fun

I took out two ram module behind

It successfully boot and states fatal error hibernation

so continue > successfully booted into windows

Place back the two rams and booted into windows


I think i need to disable hibernation at all cost from now on

Someone please tell me how to disable it

 

quote from older post, i think its still usefull

 

Firs of all Thank You very much

You are right my system in RAID . I wounder, is it OK to use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.1 with RAID?

Thank you for help

 

The BIOS doesn't allow to to get out of hibernate mode after it failed.

MSI set system to hibernate by default and you can disable it by going to Control Panel> Power Options > Change advanced Power settings to disable it (see attached picture).

Another way to get out of hibernate mode failed easy is create a system repair disk by go to Control Panel> Backup and restore to create a system repair disk.

Insert and boot from system repair disk to boot and then just exit repair console right away and it will stop trying to boot from hibernate mode.

 

@Ken: you mean to say windows hibernate doesn't work on gt780?

 

The problem is I cannot go into bios nor I can put the disc in the drive because everything is not working

 

As for the model with the SSD i can't comment but i'd like to know the drive model and specs myself.

thanks guys, and yes Striker ppl do read and appreciate the 1st post but geez louise there's too much good stuff yunno?

So all of you that have this drive, what's the real world verdict, is it good enough to compete with the big boys of Intel, Samsung 830 and company ?

ATTO, CDM screenshots anyone?

According to their site yes you can, as always backup your files before doing the resizing.

Is It Possible to Resize RAID

 

Hibernate works just fine, it's the Windows glitch in general that sometimes the laptop can't resume from hibernate mode.

When that happens, system BIOS will always try to resume from hibernate but the hibernate image has corrupted so system can't boot successfully, that's what happened to He1p.

 

Thanks. Got it.

It's true. A corrupted windows hibernate file is totally kaput. And it applies on all computers even non-gt780.

 

Problem is how do you insert a system boot disk when you cannot put the disc in since the optical drive is touch button

 

Thanks for the confirmation of the keyboard issue; wasn't sure it was going to be one anyway, but don't want to drop nearly two grand on a system to have it less than perfect.

I run quite often some rather RAM hungry scientific software... if it sees less than 8GB of RAM it won't even load. That and I'm currently doing a fair amount of platform-agnostic coding, so I end up testing it in half a dozen virtual machines.

...

Does the S-Bar get disabled if running linux? Or does the BIOS retain control if Windows isn't found? Worst case on linux is figuring out what signal is sent when a button is pressed, and writing a script to deal with the input accordingly... which is hardly a serious issue.

Thanks. I e-mailed MSI about it a few days ago, no response yet. Maybe they'll be forthcoming. Most I'll have to do is have a look in Device Manager for info when it arrives.

I can be quite picky about how loud fans are; but I'm currently suffering with a laptop that doesn't spin the fan much (also it's not a very big fan) so it's a very, very hot system. I've come to prioritise decreased temperatures over whisper quietness.

If all else fails, there should be a little emergency eject hole on the drive itself which you can trigger with a bent-open paperclip or some other very thin thing.

 

OH that little tiny hole ??????

but i tried to push gently noting happpen

 

Yeah.

The emergency release physically disengages the drive locking mechanism (catch) so that the tray can be drawn open manually. Last time I had to do an emergency eject on a tray-loading drive it was quite a 'clunk' when it disengaged, but that was on an old IBM that was built like a tank, so modern drives might not be so stubborn.

edit: I just tried it on a tray-loading laptop ODD I've got laying around, and a small jewelers screwdriver (if you've got one) works wonders. Also, it's a much more modern drive (bought ~mid-2010) and barely took any effort at all to get the mechanism to disengage. Then as I released pressure, the tray popped out gently.

 

So you just poke the hole ?

 

Nah, it's not on the same page of Samsung 830 etc. It's still a snappy drive though. It's only SATA 2. I've seen mixed reviews. I replaced mine w/ a M4 before getting to use it much, but it felt good to me while installing and accessing/loading the games.

 

It should be that simple, yes.

 

Thank you. I will try that out.

It has 16GB of RAM installed, so I imagine 4x4GB modules.

Any other thoughts? I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and it found no issues. I do get very random crashes - things like AVG having unspecified errors, and gmail checker just crashed now. Very odd.

Thanks for your help. I'm desperate!!!

 

sfc /scannow found no errors.

 

FYI:

Thanks to the helpful contributions of jetherson, another well-educated and well-rounded guru/geek amongst us (so SHOW SOME RESPECT, and give 'em a little love), I have added his suggested 'thread search link' to the 'top' of thread's lead post.

In an effort to minimize the continual repeat questioning here (consuming a good portion of this thread's volume), I ask all informed members, PLEASE direct the lessor informed HERE when this occurs.

And now, a little satire, sarcasm, and rant.......

Perhaps I need to delete all the links of the lead post, because NONE of the newbs even bother looking at it or doing Google searches...... I mean after all, 'Whats The Point'..... and WhatsThePoint does seem to enjoy answering the same questions over and over again. I know! How about this? If anyone has a question, just PM WhatsThePoint (he HAS to be pulling his hair out by now, and finger nails must be down to nubs). This way we can reduce the threads clutter..... fill his PM inbox with this nonsense, and not the thread! Sounds like a plan to me! LOL!

WhatsThePoint, you are now dubbed the threads official 'Answer Smurf'. I would post this to the lead post (making the official announcement of your new title), but 'WhatsThePoint', no one reads it! Long ago, I grew tired of this, over and over again.

To add another humorous note to all this, some time ago several folks here made a call for FAQ's to be added to the thread. This was suggested to provide a 'One Stop Shopping' place of GT780/783 info, to eliminate the myriad of repeat questions consuming the thread.

In theory this sounded reasonable, but understanding a bit of human nature, I PM'ed several of these folks explaining; 'most want instant gratification, and many are too lazy to even Google search', and many will not THINK to do this..... 'most won't read it'...... 'dumb@$$'es abound' who can't pour milk in their breakfast cereal, let alone operate a notebook PC without screwing it up..... AND I even bet them that in spite of a FAQ's section, 'repeat questions will still continue'. What really tinkles me here, is the folks who believe we have nothing better to do, than sitting here answering their repeat questions..... like we are getting paid, or it's our job or something. Better yet, those folks who actually get mad, because their questions don't get answered right away, LOL! After much insistence for a FAQ's section, I posted THIS. Guess what? NOT ONE INDIVIDUAL HERE bothered to PM with any suggestions whatsoever! Seems many have suggestions, but few are willing to contribute or do any of the leg-work. WOW, imagine that!

Of course I am still open to any suggestions or help here..... just PM me, but PLEASE, do provide supporting links! I do not have the time to do all of the research.

Anyhow, this notebook series has been around long enough, that chances are, if you have a question, it's most likely been answered...... MANY times! Probably at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the bulk of this threads pages are consumed with repeat information. PLEASE folks, before questioning, try reading the thread..... it's not like it's a long gothic novel, and as simple to read as Dic-k (gee wiz, I got word censored/filtered here, LOL!) & Jane...... or try searching (Google)! Who knows, the lead post MAY even be helpful too!

In summary, I hope everyone was entertained here, and do ENJOY LIFE!

 

Hey everyone! New guy here, wanted to thank everyone for a great thread that lead me to the GT780.

Placed an order with Ken over at GenTech PC (thanks again Ken) and got my new laptop last week. So far it has been really great, its my first gaming grade computer and I don't think I will ever go back! I didn't get too much on top of the standard system, I did take advantage of the free extra ram upgrade to 16gb and I opted to add a second 750gb HD in RAID 0 configuration (wow does this thing boot fast!).

Anyways, I am wondering what everyone's overclock settings are for the GT780DX-406us specifically. I have downloaded Afterburner and I ran up to 700/1400 and 1750 on the memory without any issues. I was playing BF3 on Ultra and was maintaining ~25fps (not too bad) with the temp never getting above 62C. Curious to know how much further I can push it without risking damaging anything.

Also, are there any other things I should get or download to get the most out of my new toy?

Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread what a great resource! Just for the sake of mentioning it I have indeed looked through quite a bit of this thread, mostly before finally deciding this was the system for me. All the links in the first post were very helpful and I did look through a lot of the information. I have had a lot of trouble with the "search this thread"...Seems like nothing I type in is within this thread, I tried "clock", the letter "a", and "MSI" with no results for any of them.

 

OMG! jetherson!

LOL!

 

have you tried removing 2 stix of ram from under the laptop and try these things again ?

 

I'm still hav'in fun!

In all seriousness ,I have never minded sharing my knowledge and experience to those just starting out.

I come from the days of wooden ships,iron men,Tandy TRS-80 and Commador 64.

In the mid 80s I actually liked Apple.

There was no Internet back in the day.

The Internet is a great tool and I hope governments leave it alone(rant).

All things come at a price.My PM box is often full so new messages are lost.I can no longer post photo attachments;my forum limit has been reached.

So many times someone has asked for information that was posted already on the SAME page or within a few pages.

There's no excuse for laziness.It eventually costs others that are looking for help.

If you truly need help after doing the basic searching and self help youself;I'm here to assist and on many occassions learn something new myself by your asking and a learned person answering.

I'm in the September of my life and still blessed with a great memory.

Hi guys.

I want to hook up 2.1 or 5.1 speaker to my 780dxr but still on survey. Is built in sound card able to produce in par quality with pc sound card? Im want to buy this Edifier s530d.
Btw, i just able to identified 2ports at left side of the lappy.. The green is for audio out, pink for microphne.. The other 2ports i have no idea what they are for.

Thanks

 

LOL! Preaching to the choir here. Glad you're having fun, but as I said before, soon I predict you'll be asking, 'WhatsThe Point'?

Commodore 64? Heck, I had 3 of them, AND a VIC20! Also, a Timex Sinclair 1000..... you forgot that one, LOL!

September? Now see, there is a difference..... I think I am in November!

 

Don't bother buying another 2.1 . Gt783:780 itself

My master volume is at 15% and media player at 20%

It's still so loud clear and no distortion

 

My speaker will produce crackling sound if the lappy is up 24/7.. I need to restart to get rid of it. Yes, the speaker is good enough for me alone. But i need external speaker to rattle up my room with loud bass volume.
