    I bought an MSI GS73VR with a GTX 1060 in it last week and now I can see that the frame is bending.

    Can someone tell me why?

    The GS series are very delicate. It doesn't take that much force to bend them.

    I mean the only way this could happen is by you applying pressure on it, how you do it, we don't know.

    What am I looking at here? I don't see any bends....just a fingerprint magnet.
    And um....*edit* are you talking about those two things sticking out on the far left?
    A better picture would really help here.
    that looks like something next to slot openings.
    It would be easier with a better picture.

    Looks like the ethernet port and the first USB port ?

    That surely did NOT happen by itself...looks like you put the laptop in your backpack or some other place and something got caught on something....

    It is happening on both sides. It seems like heat from the notebook heating up is causing it. Is there anyway I can stop it?

    There is no way your notebook is reaching temps high enough for heat to cause this.

    Impossible. You're notebook wouldn't be running right now if it heated up to the point in which it was causing the frame to melt.

    It reaches 80°C. IDK what else is causing it. If someone can give me a valid answer other then it being shoved in a bag, which it isn't, I would appreciate it.

    Ok, if you don't like reality let me help you then.

    Little aliens from mars jumped into your notebook and made multiple campfires which caused your case to bend. It's totally not your fault, you're flawless, it's the aliens fault.

    Are you lifting it up one handed? I've seen this before on the stealth, part of the reason I didn't buy one.

    Is the backpack you are using, causing pressure around the mid-center of the machine?
