    Hoping for some help....

    I have a GT740/1727 Whitebook, and I am attempting to do a re-build and have been unable to find the drivers for Win7 x64. Ive checked MSI's site, the links on this forum, and several web searches... and have not found current drivers for all the system components.

    I was able to download and install the latest bios, however, my firmware is quite old and was not able to locate that.

    Also, Ive downloaded what I think are the correct video drivers off NVidia's web site, but they will not load, says the correct hardware does not exist.

    Anyone have drivers and firmware they would be willing to upload so I can grab them? I can even give you an FTP location if that helps.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Ive been pulling my hair out on this one.

    I think your system has this configuration by default, but I am not 100% sure so be careful.

    B.T.O. MS-1727 Notebook Intel Core i7-720qm ATI HD5870 17

    Information: MSI Europe ? Notebook - GT740

    BIOS download trough this link: MSI Europe ? Notebook - GT740

    Firmware download trough this link: MSI Europe ? Notebook - GT740

    Driver download trough this link: MSI Europe ? Notebook - GT740

    Utility download trough this link: MSI Europe ? Notebook - GT740


    Download only the things you need, but keep in mind flashing BIOS/EC Firmware are at your own risk I am not responsible for any failure during flashing.

    Good luck

    Sorry to bump an old thread but I feel this is the best place to ask

    Does anyone have a custom BIOS that swaps the FN and ctrl keys?
