Depends on how much you use it and the price you can get for it.

 

I can't tell you the best option, that's something you need to figure out yourself

 

Where is a good place to sell my laptop in parts?

My motherboard died and the part is no longer manufactured so I want to sell it.

Everything BUT the motherboard is in working condition.

How much do you guys think I can get for all the parts?

The video card alone I see on ebay going for around $300

Do you guys think I can get $600-$700 out of it?

 

NBR member area/eBay/Cragislist.

 

The market on here is good for ensuring people know what they are doing.

 

You would have to list your components for us to give you an estimate of its value. Exactly what model is it? Is it stock, or do you have upgrades installed? Where are you located?

 

Does anyone have a link or location for Win8.1 Pro 64bit drivers/utilities for these? Mainly CinemaProII and WinDVD, they both require 3.5 .net framework but framework will NOT enable and I've done everything the internet has suggested lol I was hoping maybe there is just an 8.1 replacement that will use the 4.0 framework....

EDIT: Well, I remembered I had purchased PowerDVD 11 Ultra for an old external BluRay I had prior to getting my 783 and it works fine on win8, so now the only issue I have is Cinema Pro2 not working because I can't enable the .net framework 3.5

Ok, so my fellow there wants an upgrade from 560m to 770m in his GT780, is it straight fit install without a need of crossflashing certain vbios or modifying any INI files for drivers etc?

And would the heatsink from 560m would work directly perfectly for 770m or need some mods/upgrade the heatsink?

Interested to hear!

Thanks!

 

560m HS will not fit. You will need 570m HS or 770m HS. I guess if you go for clevo/dell card you will need only mofied .inf file to swap in driver folder. You should go some pages back in this thread someone asked this questions before.

Cheers!

 

WTP, Thank you sir! I actually had already formatted once again. I found its an issue caused by upgrading 8 to 8.1 without enabling it prior. I will be saving that file for future use though!

THX does not work though, lol if its not one thing It's another. I got the windows 8 version but but the changes are not actually applying....so weird...still researching


WOW I like how the GT780DX lists Win8 drivers but the GT783R doesn't.....lol Thanks again

 

@WTP - How's things?

Does anyone know how to get Cinema Pro II to work for W8.1 Pro U1?

I can launch WMP it with the touch bar, but the light will stay on, even after I shut it down.

From what I remember, CPII just turns on/off WMP correct?

Thanks!

 

Hello everyone,
probably my problem has already been addressed but I could not find anything with the search button.

In practice, I own a MSI GX780 with GT555M GPU I wanted to upgrade and I bought (for my mistake) a GTX560M of the Toshiba Qosmio.

By inserting the card into the laptop turns on and start windows normally the only small problem is that the screen remains black.

I downloaded an updated VBIOS of the GTX560M Clevo to update the bios, to do the upgrade I created a batch file that starts with windows and run all the commands you need, unfortunately not the division updating is successful because the two chips are incompatible.

Has anyone managed to run this card sull'MSI? How?

Thank you for your help
Sergio

 

Either the card is physically wired differently or does not have a bios chip as the Toshiba have it integrated into the system bios.

 

The card comes with no problems. Windows is the only problem is a black screen so it is a constant problem in bios.

any solution?

 

Do you see anything on the screen before OS loads?
Does Toshiba Quosmio ha Optimus enabled?
DID YOU TRY TO BLIND-FLASH MSI vBIOS INSTEAD OF CLEVO OR WHATSOEVER????

 

yes, starting from the bios all black, I realize that loads the OS the jingle boot windows.

I do not know how I could check this?

I tried this in the VBIOS this topic:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/627159-need-gt780-560m-video-bios.html

Thanks for your help

 

If you see something instead of black screen then you need to reinstall Windows. Or do other manipulations with Windows Recovery Media.

 

no, black screen part of the bios, needless to try to format I can update the bios of the card via an automated script that I made, that gives me the opportunity to update the card with the black screen. You just have to figure out which bios to use which can make video card compatible with my system.

 

You see a boot screen?

 

no black screen all time

 

Agreed with Meaker, it's either a card without VGA BIOS, or incompatible design.

 

That's all right.
I relisted the video card on ebay.

As soon as I can sell it I will take another compatible, someone can advise me what are the compatible video cards for my MSI GX780 even though they have different heatsinks I can change that too The important thing is that it is compatible with my system

 

GTX770M on the nvidia side highest end.

The HD7970M is with some work and careful selection.

 

I would opt for the HD7970M from the reviews it looks like a great card, why do you say that it takes a little more work? you mean the heatsink?



As soon as I decide to buy the card I'm showing it to confirm compatibility and never fall into the previous error

 

So for the last few months my GT780 have been shutting down while playing Diablo 3 or any graphic intensive game. I finally install GPU temp and the temp is constantly in the 95C when running game. I am pretty sure this is not normal and the reason for the computer shutdown. I had been playing Diablo 3 since I got the system and never have the problem and I am not sure what could be causing this. Is the GPU failing? The cooling system not working? I have clean out the fans but not sure what else I could do.

I have not been using the laptop since I got a new Lenovo and gave the MSI to my daughter but she only play League of Legends and never have the shut down problem.

Thank you and help or suggestion is really appreciated. This gaming laptop is sadly reduce to just playing LoL and it's pretty depressing.

 

hi and welcome !

looks like an overheating problem. 95c is pretty high. mine usually stays below 75-80c, at most 85c when i game.

As a suggestion i'd redo the thermal paste on the gpu&cpu.

if you're not the technical type or not comfortable redoing it , any local computer repair shop will do it for cheap.

 

I have taking the notebook apart before but mostly to install basic stuff like HDD and new RAM. I never actually remove the motherboard out of the chassis if that is something that need doing then I might take it to local shop.

thank you again.

 

no need to remove the mobo. just the heatsink that covers the gpu and cpu.

you'll need thermal paste like arctic silver or mx-4 if you're not at ease with doing that (less problematic for beginners).

some rubbing alc 90% or highest you can find.

you may need to replace the thermal tapes on the various places, that's more stuff to order online if you don't have any handy.

imho, i'd swing by a local shop and see what they charge. the stuff i listed above will run you into the 15-25$ range + shipping, if you check on amazon

 

WD-40 works much better than alcohol in terms of cleaning on thermal paste.

 

I'm planning to reformat my lappy again just to give myself a clear fresh system again.

I'm unsure though whether I should download the latest drivers again or stick to the current driver versions I had since last 6 months. Only my Nvidia driver is the latest, the rest are 6 months ago. Any advice?

 

Use the latest if you can, you can revert any packages you have issues with.

 

WhatsThePoint used to post here the links of the latest drivers, I am so spoiled by him with his great effort to provide them in this thread.

Still, I appreciate for what he has done for all of us GT780 owners.

Hopefully I get things right this time, haha.

EDIT :
Guys, I'm using Killer 1103, so which driver is it better for me?

http://www.station-drivers.com/inde...Killer-Performance-Suite-Version-1.1.46.1056/

http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/resources/driverdownloads/

The one from qualcomm website offers Ver 1.1.38.1281 while the one in station-drivers.com offers Ver 1.1.46.1056.

I'm confused @_@

 

can anyone running nvidia GTX 770m in your MSI laptop GT780/GX780 or barebone series dump your GPU VBIOS and share with me? Want to flash DELL 770m to MSI laptop compatible VBIOS

Thanks!

one info, is possibile to swap mainborad of msi gt780dxr with one recent, example, ms-1762 or 1763? i change only cpu right?

 

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded my VGA from 560m to 770m, I put inside new heat sink with bridge and when GPU temp is up to ca 7deg lower(70) CPU is 10 deg higher (also 70). Is this ok for the CPU? I also experiencing FPS drop and its strange
Only in WoT(don't play other games now), no temp correlation, no drop in stress test (furmark)
this is card with clevo bios, can this be the issue?
temps GPU/CPU degC
idle 38/43
game 70/70 ;62 with 100%fan
furmak 73/71
power brick 180W i5 2430M w7
Any suggestions?

 

According to NBR member majster msi who sells a lot of parts in the NBR Marketplace:
"If you want to swap ms-1761 to ms - 1762 you need also to swap hdd board , sensorboard and sensorboard tape"

You cant just swap mainboard because other components are different.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi...11-motherboard-compatibility.html#post9584780

 

It's going to require him to replace a lot of parts, and bear the risk of having something that doesn't work.
Way too much hassle and I wouldn't recommend it.

 

I agree.

In the long run it's probably better to buy a working used model with the desired components or save up and get a new heart's desire.

I love my GT780DX and hope the epoxy keeps holding the hinge inserts and all the replaced parts keep on ticking.

My new Gentech built GS60 is good but I have a special fondness for Sandy Bridge notebooks that were simpler to redo and update

 

I got another situation, what would the cause of the problem be when your laptop hangs/freezes randomly?

My cpu and gpu temperatures were only about 50 Celsius,then the laptop suddenly hang. This is the most recent occurrence and had nothing to do with temperature, happens very randomly.

I had this problem before I reformat but I didn't expect it to happen again after reformatting. Is it a hardware issue or a driver issue?

I just couldn't figure it out and I would love to solve this issue because I always had to perform an improper shut down.

 

I had some few second freeze ups with a few different NVIDIA graphics driver versions on Windows 7 before the GTX570M was replaced under my 3rd party 3 year extended warranty.

With the new card,Windows 8.1 Update 2 and the most recent 340.52 driver I have no issues now.

It's hard to tell where your problem comes from without being in front of your notebook.

I've been using the KUC Windows Update Checker to delete obsolete and replaced updates that are no longer needed.
KUC a utility to check you Windows 7; 2008 R2; WMS; or Win embedded update status

Have you run sfc /scannow as administrator?

 

I also experienced before a few seconds of freeze before then it went back to normal. But I don't face that anymore, I faced a permanent freeze where I could not do anything except pressing the power button to shut down the laptop.

The problem happened to me while I was using my laptop,I just don't know how it happened.

I have not run that yet, it will help me detect the problem?

 

I've had my 780DXR for a few years, and rarely used the mic, the I used it a few times, friends said they couldn't hear me; I cranked it, it worked once, then nothing. I searched and searched and found this.

Having been fortified by already watching 16 min of youtube where some amazing dude took one of these apart to the bottom to replace the camera and the sound card and the audio plugs... it only took 3 hours of looking for a size zero Phillips to go after this. About three minutes, and I made sure to take a bit of patience in cracking the top seam. That piece of plastic is HUGE, 5/8" x 1 3/16". The reverse was massively easy. You can't tell I cracked the seal I even got the sticky plugs in perfect back over the screws. I put the plastic bit away in case I ever want to stick it back in. Compared to replacing the screen on my better half's Motorola tablet, this is massively peasy easy.

I definitely am in your debt, thanks for doing the probe, posting the pictures.

I don't know if I got this thank you linked back to the proper poster, it was a few years ago... lemme see, thank you Whats The Point!

 

Okay, I give. I did the peel the plastic out, nothing.

I have searched until I'm blue, I've read until I'm blind. I have the MSI GT780dxr. I usually use it for graphics rendering and occasionally listened to some downloaded music on headphones. Recently I started using the microphone for Skype voice calling; and used it for a few months of weekends. My friends said I got distorted; then it went 'out' and I turned it up and they said it was okay for a few more weekends (so maybe 40 - 60 hours of use). Last weekend it totally was DEAD. Dodo. I tried what I could, and put a webcam on with mic, got streaming video but no sound to Skype. Tried to record sound, nothing. I could hear friends but they couldn't hear me. I tried a different headphone with mic, nothing. I did the surgery What's The Point suggested; nothing.

I can hear on the corner speakers, I can put out to the headsets, I can put out to jacked in speakers. I can get no sound across to anyone else. I ordered a set of USB plug headphones with mic as my last resort; they come in a few days. Not that I can't use them anyways, but. Is this meaning I should get a new audio card? It seems my plugs are fine, I make good contact otherwise, just no mic no matter what I toggle and I've been everywhere. If someone covered it please point me there. Thank you.

 

What audio/video device was skype set to use?

 

Realtek Hi Definition Audio

 

Do you have enough bandwidth?

Is you CPU overloaded at the time.

There's an app to improve Skype video calls but I don't know of one for audio problems.
http://www.nodewave.com/software/windows/ForceSkypeHDVideo/bin/ForceSkypeHDVideo Installer.msi

Audio calls should be possible with most internet connections. Video calls use a lot more bandwidth



Close other applications that use the internet, especially those playing music or video.
Cancell any file transfers in progress.
close any other process that's taxing the CPU that is not needed.

Make sure netFramework 3.5 and 4.5.1 are installed

 

CPU is not overloaded.
I witchhunted and no, I do have adequate bandwidth.
I will look up the Skype video app, thank you.
I have netFramework 3.5 and 4.5.1 installed.

I did also complain bitterly to my provider because they are sort of squeezing off the low end accounts; they are finally going to 4G and want everyone to buy the premium speed connect on the other side of their coin... and I refused to pay the $1080 for two years of 'faster service' when the service I *had* was working... I wrote my State Attorney General and told them too about this.

The provider sent me a pair of USB connect Koss headphones with mic, that arrived this afternoon, and that is working perfectly. With their compliments...

Thank you for the help.

 

Just installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview on a spare SSD in this GT780DX.

Install was identical to Windows 8.1 and went very smoothly from a SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 flash drive.

Default drivers were installed for all my hardware except the Realtek USB 2.0 card reader that had to be done manually.
