Yes. There is a manual with full details at the path I gave earlier.

To cheer You up a bit, soon, when Sandy Bridge family of CPUs will be released, all of our existing MSI laptops will be discontinued. It is inevitable...
-
The barebone version is still available. I paid about 200 more for mine, which did have slightly more upgrades. Is the infrared operational?
-
Karamazovmm Overthinking? Always!
the chassis is probably being replaced with the FX versions

I figure the GE600 is just a smaller version of the GE700 so here goes:
Anyone know what the safe load/idle temps are for an Intel i5-450 and for the ATI5730?
I am getting CPU idle: 44c Load: 77-78c
GPU idle: 52c Load: 75-78c
Thanks in advance -
On windows webcam driver and software (CameraRecorder) is anyone getting 1280x720? I'm only getting 640x480. MSI advertises HD(16:9) and 720p but the specs sheet says 1.3 mp but doesn't 1.3 mp suggest (4:3)?

I've got a serious problem with the wireless device
1st of all sometimes it's just like that it simply does n't work !! there was a studio dell right next to my GE600 , studio was connected but mine could n't even find a wireless network ! I tried turning it on & off but it was n't of any help
And a much more severe problem is this wireless device has caused a couple of blue screens so far !!The last time was when I tried to disable the device from adaper settings ( Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections )
Can anyone help me out this misery ! ?
And I've also got the same question :
-
maybe you can try reinstalling your wireless driver.
with the same program i get 1280x720 also but is the program simply just upscaling the images and videos? i ask because the driver is from 2006 and it may not support that 720p resolution. -
Hi everybody!
I got a GE600 a month ago and I have a problem since the beginning.
There is a very acute noise, a sort of whistling, continuously. I don't know if it comes from the battery, the processor, the hard drive or any other component.
I just know that it seems to stop a little when the hard drive shows some activity. You hear the HDD scratching and working and at those moments, it doesn't whistle anymore, but start again as soon as the HDD stops working.
I don't know what to do and it drives me crazy.
Any clue? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I just checked, it's not the battery, and I'm more and more sure that it is the hard drive...
EDIT: the noise also stops when I scroll down or up a page in my web browser!??
EDIT: I'm not so sure anymore, the noise comes from the right side, not the left. It's located exactly under the "0", "." and "Enter" keys. -
If you play an audio or video file from a flash drive (USB stick/thumb drive) -- does the noise stop?
-
The noise stops when the CPU is being used, especially when it's hard at work: when I turn on the computer (when the MSI screen appears), when I copy files, when I scroll on web pages, etc.
Other than that, it's making the acute noise 99% of the time... I tried listening/watching media from an USB drive, it briefly stops when opening the file, but during playback it continues
Where can it come from? I'm desperate :'( -
I think I'we got the same problem with my GT628. Maybe the CPU is the reason, because I recently upgrade it. Since then I hear this annoying "whistle".
-
I got this answer from the customer service (the French one):
-
There was a similar problem with Asus systems and they disabled the "idle processor" setting in power management to fix it. Not sure if that would help here or not, sounds like this may be a bit different.
Luckily, have not noticed it with mine (yet anyway). -
When you say "Power management", you mean in the BIOS?
Sadly, the GE600's BIOS doesn't have any interesting features... I'd flash it but since the problem may have this condenser thing workaround, maybe I'll stay at that for the moment. -
Yea, I'd stick with the condenser thing for now.
The power management setting was under the windows advanced power management tree (windows power options plans), but it needed a registry tweak to show it. Probably not worth worrying about, as it may not be related to this at all. It might also be unique to Asus, not sure.
Good luck! -
Well... I may have spoken too quickly, because the noise is not so sharp anymore, but I can still hear it.
Do you think you could find the tweak you're talking about? It would really be helpful and could help me resolve this mysterious problem -
-
You might be able to go there and search, I tried, but did not see it again. If I run across it again, I will post it here.
Good luck! -
Hey guys, I was trying to burn an .iso to DVD today and it seems like the optical drive won't burn DVDs. I tried using imgburn and the built in windows 7 feature and neither worked. I've been trying to find drivers/firmware for it and haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? Windows lists the drive as Optiarc ad-7560s.
-
I have not done much with it, but I did burn the recovery DVD's and it seemed to work fine.
Do you have a -RW DVD you can use to test? If so, try writing something smaller like some mp3's or videos and see if that works. Might be an issue with the ISO file.
I doubt that the driver is the problem. The drivers shipped are pretty up to date, I think. Most likely something else.
Good luck! -
Thanks Bron, I only have a couple DVD-Rs right now. I'm thinking that for whatever reason the drive might just not like the specific disks. I moved the ISO to another laptop and burned it with no problem. I'll have to try another dvd out later and see if that fixes it. Like you said, I'm thinking the drive is probably fine since I've definitely read DVDs and burnt/read CDs within the last month.
-
Thank you Bron, I'll look for it.
Another probem I have: in Performance mode, Youtube videos often crash the computer completely and I have to hard-shutdown with the Power button.
Any fix for this issue? -
You need to update your graphics drivers, from the MSI website.
-
Okay thanks a lot
-
Damn...
Now that I have installed the ATI MSI drivers, I can't switch between Performance and Eco modes.
Anyone had that problem?
EDIT: I'll try to install the latest BIOS, but well... I wouldn't want to screw it -
MSI Global ? Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more
You must use the driver on this page. That one includes the Intel graphics driver too. It's the one I am using and certainly works fine. -
All better now, thank you.

got an annoying problem !
My GE600 sometimes shuts down automatically right after resuming from a hibernation ! and the shutdown is a normal shut down ! just like I my self clicked shut down from start menu !
I checked Event viewer in hope to find something suspicious and found the following :
P.S : I'm using the win 7 home premium provided with the laptop. -
PreuX...that could be malware. Have you run a virus scan with the latest defenitions. Perhaps your current AV software hasn't caught it.
How can I get my PC to boot after a sleeper virus? - computers windows viruses | Ask MetaFilter -
Lots of people (with many different brands, PC's, laptops) have had this problem, I believe some said gfx drivers, some said BIOS update needed, maybe other things. Many just stopped using hibernate, some got it fixed. Don't know the details, but some searching/googling might turn up a fix or you might check with MSI as to whether they know if a BIOS update would help.
I don't use hibernate myself since so many have had trouble with it. Systems boots fast and I use standby instead if I don't want to shutdown for some reason.
Good luck! -

To any ge600 owners... If you didn't know, the graphics in this system are MXM. If you aren't using the 5730 you could probably get a couple hundred for it...
-
Well, the 5730 isn't really that powerful, but definitely enough for multimedia. But the low resolution should allow it to play a quite a good amount of games with good FPS.

The card is nothing special, true, except for the fact that its type A small form factor. You can probably put it in a number of 15" acer laptops which normally have a gt 240m. Now, thats worth it to some people.

Every game I have wanted to play, plays beautifully. Suits me perfectly. Will last me about 10 years I reckon.

Hi there.
Now that Firefox 4 is out, I'd like to use WebGL and hardware acceleration in my web browser.
Sadly, it seems an update of the GPU is required:
What should we do?

Here is something to try:
Modified ATI Catalyst 11.2 Switchable Graphics Driver - Guru3D.com Forums -
I wrote to the French MSI support and the "technician" just told me to keep checking their website for a new driver, as he personally doesn't know if and when there will be one someday...
Sorry guys -
I have a terrible problem with my GE600
This afternoon all of a sudden the speakers stopped working !!
If I connect a headphone it will play sounds just the way it used to but the speakers are mute ! and there's no sign of failure on windows side , I checked everything related to audio and audio devices and they all seem normal but I get no sound and BTW when I turn on cinema mode the woofer works !!So basically the only audio devices that don't work are those two square speakers at the sides of touch panel . And one more thing that I'm not quite sure about is the speakers do make sound ! but it's very very low , I put my ear on one speaker and I think I heard an extremely low music playing .
I googled it & found this :
[ubuntu] MSI GE600 Speakers not working - Ubuntu Forums
which seems to be the same case as mine only happened in Ubuntu and hence my superior knowledge of Linux I don't understand a thing what those guys are talking about !
Please help me with this annoying problem . -
problem solved !!!
under playback tab of Sound window in control panel I checked and tested every audio device and there were a couple of speakers there , among which I found the beloved good ol' speakers ! set them as default and now it works gr8 !
cheers -
It happens sometimes indeed
Anyone for our GFX driver problem? -
Hi folks!
I found THE effin' solution!!!!!!!!!
Easy steps:
1) Install the official AMD/MSI driver from their website (on this page: MSI Global ? Notebook - GE600)
2) Reboot, enter BIOS setup with "DEL". In "Advanced", put the graphics on "PEG".
3) On Windows, you'll be greated by a nice 800x600 resolution, but that's normal. Download this: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/mobile/catalyst_mobility_64-bit_util.exe => it will itself download the latest ATI Mobility driver (for me it was 11-3_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl.exe).
4) Install it normally, the full package!
5) Reboot one time to finish the installation properly.
6) Reboot again, enter BIOS one more time and put the graphics mode back to SG (Switchable Graphics).
7) Back in Windows, it should work just fine
Please note that I'm on a GE600-005, with Core i5 and ATI Radeon Mobility 5730 HD
Enjoy! -
hey not sure if this is where i should post but... i have the fullhd version of this notebook. it runs pretty hot, 50~55C at idle. i stressed it with prime95 and it was around 90-95C hitting 100C at max. i'm using the ATI gpu with an i5-460 at 1920x1080. it's been turning off lately during games (even older games like portal 1) which is what made me check the temps. what can i do to bring the temps down? i have it sitting on a hard surface and elevated on thin blocks for better airflow. i checked to make sure vents are clean. are there replacement heatsinks or fans that work better? or some software setting i can change?
-
uhh.. nvm dumb. i just didnt open it up enough. it was dust buildup inside the fan. just didnt turn enough screws. make sure you go all the way. also remember to plug the fan back into the motherboard. i always forget that part.. 40-45C idle ~70C games
-
wow the GE600 is MXM? just why companies hate MXM so much? they removed the MXM in the newer GE620.
