Hmm, hopefully the MSI team are coming up with fixes for the drivers. i'm occasionally checking the driver page

There should be an option for you to go back to the previous build, give it a try and it should work. As for me, I'll stay with this build i guess, waiting for the drivers wont be a huge problem -
I got the anniversary update today, it is safe to update, or should i block the update?

Don't update in the first month as a precaution
Shame on MSI for not proposing an update of dragon gaming center. so many preview of anniversary update were pushed to devs and insiders, why didn't they provide a working version on day one ?hmscott likes this. -
MS should have made it a point to get confirmation from all their partners before rolling out such a change. MS also should have tested and found exceptions, and made them exceptions in the roll out if they couldn't get a partner to move quick enough to implement a working fix.
What's the rush for anyhow? MS should have waited to make this change knowing it would cause problems for users.
MS should put the customer first, and not deprive them of services they know will stop working due to their updates.
I think everyone is tired of MS's preemptive changes and moves that have so much fallout for everyone, everyone that trusted them with their PC and data.
It's MS's fault. -

Have any of you guys used the battery calibration app from MSI?
how useful is it in terms of actually preserving the battery?
Also how do i initiate the calibration? It keeps telling me that other windows are open but i've closed everything, i've even completely closed down Steam but still cant seem to complete the last step

It worked for me on previous laptop. Think I might have shut down some processes to let it run.

It's both MS and MSI fault. I don't see why OEM and partners didn't get the opportunity to develop for Redstone, which was announced 1 year ago approx... So many build were available in the process, they just had to do there job and download them to start adapting drivers to new build. Although MS is certainly not the best in involving manufacturers, it is the duty of a gaming brand to have decent GPU and sound driver support. But as all the rest, they are busy preparing the new lineup every year... Of course there's no cash generation from updating drivers, but in the long run it's your reputation at stake. It's too easy to put all the blame on MS although I admit they have their responsibilities in this failure.

I'm RMA'ing my GT72 due to both hinges seizing. I have added two ssds and an extra stick of ram. Should I remove these before sending? (Never had to RMA before).

Also remove any other upgrades to keep them safe. Like RAM, Wifi cards, SD cards (pull out all dongles), and any other non-MSI parts installed.
If you did a re-pasting, make it clean looking so it goes unnoticed. Sometimes Asus / MSI complain about user modded paste jobs - but be nice and discuss in a civil tone - make sure to point out that the re-paste has nothing to do with the problem(s) and it was working fine before the problem's came up.
Make sure you pack it well. Use a 2nd box to contain the original box with the laptop snuggly packed in it. Roll the original box in bubble wrap - both directions - and make it snug in the 2nd box - peanuts, wadded paper, more bubble wrap.
Also, you don't need to send the power supply / cables unless they are part of the problem that needs debugging. Save weight and don't ship back the accessories, manual, etc.
Use the original box packing material to make the laptop snug in the original box - use the slip cover and keyboard paper if you still have it to protect the finish of the laptop. -
Ok, will pull ssds and ram. It's going back in the packaging it cam in, so all should be good. Thanks.

Don't forget to run MSI BurnRecovery and create a recovery flash boot drive when you get it back from MSIMiSJAH likes this. -
What's you feeling on the following:
Right hinge seized on my GT72, I get an RMA, when I closed the notebook to put it back in the box the other hinge seized and the whole of the lid/screen separated from the body. I booted it to see if the screen was ok and now the screen is damaged too.
I've emailed MSI local support and told them.
Are they likely to try and make me pay the repair costs?

Be patient, calm, respectful, polite, and they will help you. Hopefully they will cover the whole cost, including shipping.
Good luck.MiSJAH likes this. -
Thanks man. I'm always calm, patient, respectful and polite (as long as the conversation isn't about waiting for mobile pascal

MSI has provided a postage paid slip for shipping to them. Will let you all know how this pans out.

Okay I've seen the inside of the new GT72. The new GPU is shaped differently, but it appears to still be the same MXM 3.0 slot.
Upgrading our current machines should be a go.hmscott, AngryPeanut and MiSJAH like this. -
What can be done as a preventative measure to prevent the hinge from breaking. That is worrisome. The obvious is to just keep it open like a desktop. However...besides that?

Okay...sounds like it could just be a rare thing. I baby this laptop so will let you guys know if I have any issues. So far...perfect. I don't game that much but use it for work. My son found it for me and I could not pass up the price.

can anyone help I have got a strange problem in a few apps, I've been in contact with the app developers and they all say its nothing to do with their app, I was using the laptop on battery and it run out, ever since then this appears on 2 apps

This is from Nahimic audio software. It's supposed to help you visualize where the sound come from in FPS. You can deactivate it in Nahimic options.

How?

sorted, thanks so much

I leave the original keyboard muslin paper sheet over the keyboard when the lid is open, and when I close the lid I leave that cover there too to protect the screen from keycap marks.
I never close the lid unless I am moving the laptop outside, inside I carry it open - with both hands.
I don't open/close the lid as part of booting up / shutting down, to reduce the wear on the hinges - and the flexible wires from the screen to the base.
I use wired and wireless keyboards / mouse / trackpad instead of using the built in keyboard and trackpad.
At home off my desk I use a wireless keyboard/trackpad and set the laptop on a table next to me instead of on my lap. That way it's not possible to drop off my lap.
If you take care to consider wear and tear for daily use, it will lengthen the lifespan of the componentsBugs123, AngryPeanut and MiSJAH like this. -
Hi guys,
I have a 4th generation GT72 2QD (6 gb 970M). I wonder about "Nahimic" and "True Color" utilities. Do I need to install them, any noticiable changes coming with these programs??Last edited: Aug 8, 2016 -
Basically, i close the lid a lot. I do however lay the cloth over the keyboard to protect the screen, only when the day is over before i go to sleep.
But this is starting to worry me now.hmscott likes this. -
So i decided to do some internal cleaning of the laptop since im migrating to Holland (Where i currently stay, dust gets in everything). I noticed there was a 14-ish pin connector which wasnt connected to anything. Anyone has any idea what that does?
I'll attach a picture below

Hi guys, I came to share weird problem I'm getting with my GT72 2QE Dominator Pro. My laptop's shutting off randomly a lots of times whenever I try to play a game; and rarely when I'm using normally. For instance, as battery's faulty since months ago, I took the internal battery out and have been using without not so much of problem. I checked the drivers, hardware and the power supply several times if at least one of these factors are causing problem but apparently I have no issue with any of it. CPU and GPU are just fine as when it gets to run games perfectly, it runs at high to ultra settings smoothly without any performance drops for hours and hours. However, I cannot play games whenever I wish to due to this really weird problem I'm getting most of the days. Does anybody know what could be the solution to this weird random shutoffs? I have been trying to solve this problem for months but I'm stuck with it. Thank you in advance..

Oh just one more thing, in Event Viewer whenever this weird problem happens, it comes up with Event 41 Task 63 and after or before this comes up with Kernel-PnP. Also, I've already issued this problem with MSI Tech Support from member center but they haven't given me any solid answer other than to check the drivers again and wait for possible RMA.

How was your battery failing? This intermittent power issue might show up as your battery / AC mode switching back and forth - running on battery then running on AC and back. Also interruptions in power would reset the charging circuit and causing strange results in battery level.
Be sure and ask for the battery to be replaced - send it with the laptop, and explain the problems seem connected or related, the power system / charging system might be the root cause.
Please let us know how the RMA works outKH Chung likes this. -

Intermittent failure = works but occasionally flakes out and stops working:
"An intermittent failure is the loss of some func- tion or performance characteristic in a product for a limited period of time and subsequent recovery of the function. The '' failure” of the product may not be easily predicted, nor is it necessarily repeatable."
Now that we know it was also intermittently failing even with the battery installed, it's likely your internal power is intermittent, IDK what it is, but if you describe the symptoms to MSI they can fix it.
Your battery should have had enough power at 55% to power the laptop, but the power is intermittent at all power levels so you might have noticed it at that level but it could happen at any power level.
Good luck with the RMAKH Chung likes this. -
I'll tell you what happens with RMA.

I'm getting optional driver update in Windows update on a GT72 2QE (4th gen), however no drivers are showing on intel website for these (the latest chipset inf update is from last year...)
Anyone knows if it's safe to update ? Looking at the size it's just inf files I guess....

Not to hijack this thread.....but...what temps should I see with a GT72s with a 980 gtx card running a Vive headset?
It shows GPU temps in the 80's.
Does that seem right?
