    Hi,
    I bought a gt780 and i tried to use the P1 to play a game, when i press the p1 touch sensor, the turbo turns on and after like 10 sec the turbo turns off and the P1 button light doesnt turns on like the wifi or the others.

    I need help.
    Thank you

    The fix for this has been posted many times in the GT780/783 Owner's Lounge...... see the 'How To' section, HERE!

    As far as the software, the download links from the MSI site should be the latest versions. Software provided on the CD tends to be a bit dated. Check your versions....

    When TDE is activated, the P1 button will remain lit, plus you get an on-screen pop-up when turning it on and off.

    :)

    I would, if the download versions are newer than what you have installed.

    I haven't tried it, but installing the newer versions over the older ones will probably fine. I generally uninstall the older ones by habit, to insure a clean install.

    My Comodo Internet Security (very good and free) blocked the P1 function in the same manner until I told it to stop.
