    I have a question about booting XP with this product.

    It turns out that, whenever I try to boot XP with this machine, it says that the HDD isn't recognized. Now, from what I hear, there is a BIOS driver that does the trick.

    If this is so, is there an official one. Also, how do you upload a BIOS driver at the BIOS screen? Is it as simple as loading the driver to a USB flash driver?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The alt + insert doesnt open anything up when i press Delete to get into the bios.

    I just reformatted and reinstalled again with no luck. It crashes pretty much every program that is running. Do you think this is a driver error or hardware. Im not to concerned about it but i would like to use this feature and if i have to send it back then i will.

    Thanks

    Edit. Windows vista also said that when it crashes it is because of DEP. Is this just a generic error or something else?

    strange i use turbo all the time unless the notebook is on my bed. be careful to give it good airflow if youre going to use turbo elevate the back (i use a dvd movie case to prop the back up) and i make special care to make sure nothing obstructs the airflow.

    if the notebook is on my bed i have turbo off and im very careful not to let my sheets crumple near the fans blocking it off.

    @ the guy asking about grid

    runs perfect for me even at 1650x1050

    Hi eveyone,
    I just received a MXM HD 3850 mobility and the vbios seems to be corrupted or wrong.
    Could someone post here a 3850 vbios coming from his MSI GT735 so I can try to blind flash my card.
    Thanks a lot

    I have a question for you. On the GT735 is there a back plate on the bottom of the gpu that the heatsink bolts to. Please let me know. I still need a back plate because mine wont read my temps correctly.

    yes, you can upgrade, but the only card that you can upgrade to "hassle-free" is a 3870.

    Where would you be able to buy one of those cards from? I live in canada. And one more question can you access the advanced settings in the bios on the gt735?

    They are hard to find right now, Eurocom sells them for $300.00 new, if you hit Alt + Insert that gives you more Bios options..

    Will the 3870 work with the GT735 series' power supply?

    Alright, and one more quick question. Do I have to pay somebody to do switch out or I can do it myself? And if I do have to pay who can do it for me?

    Hi,
    can someone upload a video bios of his GT735 radeon HD3850?
    The easiest way is via GPUZ, click on the green arrow and that's it, you've backed up your video bios.
    Thanks

    You should flash it to a 3870, it would preform better..

    hi guys!

    I've got a question:
    I send My notebook to RMA service to get a replacement of the touch sensitive panel, they also cleaned the fan, heatsink and others... the notebook looks like new at arrival. well, by now I'm running on Windows 7 ultimate (everythings are working great, also better than vista). But, when I activate "turbo mode" and run the "performance test" (Windows experience evalation on Computer Propierties) the Turion cores increase their temperature to quickly to >100°C ... and when reach the ~108°C the notebook shut down (ok, this last is normal).
    My point is, when I was running vista, the notebook NEVER shut down by overheat, even when runing the performance test and even with dusk in the fan. Then I can't understand why now my turion is hotter than before... must I wait to get dust in the fan and heatsink? hehehe.
    On stock mode, the processor goes to ~90°C. So, I want to know how hotter are going your processors... Anyone is running W7 ultimate??

    Thanks guys!

    I have heard that the GT735 does overheat on turbo mode. If you go into the bios and under advance hit ALT + Insert more options will come up. See what overclock percentage its set to. If it's set to 24% lower it to 16% and see if that helps. If it does not try to invest in a good notebook cooler http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=304671 You can also take the back cover off and check the fan and vents to make sure there is no dust build up. You can even re apply thermal paste if needed.

    hi!,
    I'm tried it... but under advanced tag, ALT+Insert, nothing happens, Another combination works?; Also, my GT735 has an warranty sticker, and I have 3 warranty months more so I can't Void the sticker :(.The notebook has not dust, I checked it; I think Thermal paste could help... but... what can I do?

    thanks a lot!!

    What do you think I must do? I'm thinking I need apply thermal Paste, My notebook is getting hot quickly since I send it to RMA service; maybe they forget apply thermal Paste when they cleaned the processor heatsink and fan... but I don't want void the warranty... what can I do?

    Make sure you have system control manager installed...and at the bottom right screen you should see a icon that looks like a eye. While in battery mode press eco and it should stay lit!

    There must be something wrong with your fan or fins...being block by dust....sadly to say..but MSI crammed all this performance into 1 fan. Be sure to blow both exhaust fins..from both sides and the fan very good with some can of air. I can run mines on turbo all day long and nothing happeneds....some times though when running turbo and gaming stutter occurs so you have to turn it off. I figured on turbo mode it only increase Ram@800mhz and 2.2 to 2.6ghz it's not worth it to have a 20-30 degrees increase in heat! I rarely OC'd the MSI GT735.....

    quick question guys, anyone here have a spare gpu heatsink for the 735? i need one pretty badly. if one of you guys has a warranty through msi or a contact number and can order one, that would be amazing. I have a 4850 sitting here dead in the water, waiting for a compatible heatsink.


    as for your overclocking problem, what is your standard temp for your processor? and you said something about a sticker? does that mean you cant pop the bottom panel and take a look inside? if thats the case send it back to msi to have em look at it again, clearly either the heatsink isnt seated properly, or theres an issue with the thermal paste, or the fan.

    can you hear your fan spin up at least? hopefully they remembered to plug it back in.

    I'm having an issue with 1080P Playback with HDMI. My laptop shudders and pixelates when playing movies back from HD. (I'm no newbie either so comments like Defrag are worthless.)

    To my knowledge it's never played them well as I just got a full 65" 1080p TV, plays 720P fine, but on 1080P CPU is running around 60-90%. Anyone else seen this? (FYI Turbo does not help)

    And before you say it can't handle it Google FITPC2I I have one of those and it works just fine on a Atom 600.

    VLC doesn't do hardware acceleration on ATi video cards yet. Splash lite does, though. It'll decode your 1080p Blu-Ray backups using ATi Avivo (hardware acceleration). VLC should be able to do the same in an upcoming update.

    Hmm, you should've pm'd me, since I don't check this page very often. I got 7520 by using turbo. I also updated the drivers for the 3850. Before the turbo I was still getting around 6800 or so.

    I don't know why yours is so low. Maybe you forgot to update the drivers or maybe you have something somewhat taxing on your computer running while you're running the 3dMark? I'm not sure, but try the turbo and the drivers. Also, in case you didn't do so already, set your computer's power plan to "high performance." It makes a huge difference.
