    So i finally upgraded my GX633 from vista 32bit to 7 64bit, and so far it has been amazing except for a few issues. First there are some drivers that i cant find (yep a 64bit os with driver issues).

    Here is a pic of what i am talking about.

    i believe some of these drivers have to do with the turbo and eco buttons. I went to MSI's web site to look for drivers, and all the drivers are for a 32 bit os.

    Finally when i put the laptop to sleep it will wake up, but the display will not turn on. I have to pull the battery and let it sit for a few mins before it will work again.

    any ideas as to what would cause this?

    You need to get the following drivers, yes the drivers on the MSI website are 32bit but inside the driver you will find it will include the 64bit driver so my advise is download it and install it.
    I assume you are missing the following: chipset, audio, vga, cardreader, SCM, CPU driver (AMD only), TV-Tuner, Turbo Wireless, Lan and CIR (IR device) this can all be found on the MSI website.
