    Hello.
    I've gotten myself in a problem that I cannot solve. I just bought myself GS60 2PE Ghost pro
    and the first thing I did was make a clean Win7 install (not a fan of 8.1 and bloat). But then the problems appeared with Nvidia misbehaving and gave me bluescreen every time the nvidia card was being used. Tried everything to fix that but in the end nothing worked.
    So I thought to myself that it would be better to just factory reset. But since I made a clean install the partitions are wiped... So no F3 and no BurnRecovery. Tried to speak with support but they are not really helping so far.. And since I live in Sweden there aren't any phone support or anything alike. Even trying to making a legit clean install of win8.1 posed a problem. Because I had no clue about the changes Microsoft made to windows 8/8.1, that the keys are different depending on the brand and also the customized OS. So I can't even make a LEGIT install of windows at this stage. I can't find a way to regain the partition nor Burnrecovery. Been googling for days now without an answer.. I'm just so tired on all this I feel like I'm been punished.. I just want to factory reset everything and be done with it.. But I don't know how :(​

    It still puzzles me everytime I see someone opting to go back to Windows 7 and isn't doing it for compatibility issues with a killer app. That said, I read somewhere that the new Nvidia chips have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and older so if that's the case then your situation is really ironic lol.
