**M570TU/ETU (Sager 5796/5797) Owners Thread**

And isnt the AW m17x and XPs 1730 better than hte 57tu?

 

The processors are better for the M570TU, DDR3 support, a Clevo system, and far cheaper. The m17x can utilize sli of the 9800GT and run RAID0. The Mt570 is a better 'laptop' versus a desktop replacement.

 

Completely different chipset, cpus, memory, and this one supports quads and the 9800M GTX. They are quite different.

 

do you recall how many digits, there are a few sets of numbers around the ram slots

 

I found mine under where the TV Tuner sits. M570TU it siad.

 

Sad there is no new vBIOS . Doubt there ill ever be any.

 

I will buy a QX9300 QS next time for my M570TU.

For all who think that this will not work ... Guru BTO from Germany sell the M570TU with QX9300! We dont need the M570ETU!

I never trust sites like these. Who is to say it is not an M570ETU incorrectly marked as an M570TU?

 

^^^ very true.

only a few sites have correctly marked/tagged it as ETU.... even Clevo has not done it.

 

From the outside they look exactly the same, it is only a minor change on the motherboard. You're welcome to try a quad in your mobo, but it has been tried by various people unsuccessfully

 

hey guys am still dealing with 2 issues would be nice if anybody could help:

1. my m570tu freezes after 2-5 minutes when i active the silent modus in windows vista 64 bit. just a restart via power button helps, so no working silent modus for me very annoying

2. my esata device freezes the pc 4 30 seconds after activating, then the drives works 4 minutes till it hangs up again and crahes the whole pc, usb works fine

maybe i should reinstall vista you think that might help?

greetings from germany

Can you Post more informations ?

Bios version / Chipset driver / Service pack / installed drivers & software

 

ok
windows vista sp1 + all updates
office 2007 ap1 all updates
intel chipset driver latest from the official hp
intel turbo memory & matrix driver latest from the hp
latest realthek hight definition audio driver
video2go latest video driver + modded inf
for the other device i used the offcial sager page to download the drivers...

yesterday i reinstalled windows vista completely fine in silent mode
so it seems to be a problem that only appears in a complete windows vista environment.

i thought maybe its my virus scanner (norton antivirus gaming edition 2009)
but it also happend after i deinstalled it

so i realy have no clue what causes the silent modus crash error
happens in my new vista as well

i now tried to deinstall the hotkey manager... hotkeys still work maybe it helps.

greetings flode

ps i forgot. the bios is up2date. 1.0.10 & 1.0.0.9 ec...

 

Hi!
I am planning to buy 2x2GB RAM kit in to my 5796 instead of my 2x1GB. What would you recommend?

 

Flode, I'm not sure what is going on with your silent mode. As far as I'm aware, there is no silent mode, so I'm kinda confused. The fans have Full and Auto, but no silent like found in the M570RU.

As far as e-sata is concerned, a mobo replacement fixed the problem for me. The 570TU seems to commonly have faulty mobos.

DRevan, the best and most powerful memory out there is Kingstons new CAS5 1066mhz DDR3 ( KHX8500S3ULK2/4G ). It comes with a heavier cost, though. They have almost double the memory performance when compared to the standerd CAS7 ram that comes in the system. A new heatspreader helps keep the high end memory cool in intensive applications. They run about $228 for 4GB. 5-5-5-15 vs 7-7-7-20.

If you don't care so much about memory speed and just want a good, cheap upgrade, I've always like G.Skill. 4GB can be had for about $90.

could someone with a M570ETU post the serial number reported under the battery? Thanks

 

Is this a good gaming notebook to get if your not ready for the d901 (too expensive. http://Zepto.dk in Denmark is selling it (Hydra A17) for a good price at the moment. Is the T7350 or the P9500 a big difference? Will i be able to upgrade this baby down the road? Is a new model coming very soon? Because the text at the website indicates that they have a limited number of them in stock...

 

My system was delivered last week.....

SYS-BJJHKAA

Model no: M560ABAT-8

G0839M570PA08SL00502

 

What a monster of system quilty997 !!
very future proof..congrats..

Thanks for the info, Can I ask you where these infos are reported? maybe here http://www.pcw.fr/contents/media/l_Model[1].jpg ?

 

here's a small, poor quality but visible picture of the battery,

the top and bottom numbers that I posted are on the white stickers at the top and bottom of the battery,

the model number is painted in green directly on the battery itself and I assume refers to the battery

I'm curious about what you want the numbers for

 

because a Clevo reseller asked me serial number with wich he can identify a M570 E TU (quad support)..
I asked them to buy a M570ETU motherboard..

 

I've had my 5796 for about 4 months and I have two nagging problems.

1) My BOIS looses about 2minutes a day.
2) 1 out of every 5-6 boots produces a nasty crackling sound from the speakers.

Neither are really show stoppers but it is a pain to re setmy time every few days, and reboot to get clear sound. any Ideas. I'm waiting for an answer from sager tech support now.

 

@mike

there is a silent mode. the button left from the power button sets the fan speed down so its low noise. thats what i call a silent mode. i tried reinstall windows but having the same issue.

@Quilty997

nice notebook grz

greetings flode

 

Sorry, I misunderstood your original post

The model number on the base of the latop itself is M571TU and the serial number is:

NKM571TU8G00042

 

Wow that do you know. I"ve never even hit any of those buttons! Good to know. No problems when I hit mine. You might try the latest BIOS, or contact your manufacturer to have them repair your mobo.

 

Folde have you tested the button without any driver after a clean windows installation ?

o.t
i am form germany, too

Vista 64bit. My sig is not showing up for some reason.

Sager 5796/ x9100/ gxt 9800 1gb/ 320 7200rpm hd/ 4 gb ram/ glossy 1920x1200/ 4gb turbocache/ vista ulti 64-bit/ bios ver:1.00.0.6

 

Can anyone point me to the newest bios for the M570tu?

 

Flash KBC/EC firmware first!

KBC/EC 1.00.09
BIOS 1.00.10

 

http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/esupport/MarketDLOut.asp?model=M57xTU&go=GO&type=BIOS - for future use.

I flashed the bios first and than the EC ... nothing bad happened .

 

silent mode seems to work after a freash install of windows or while installing no issues at this time

but after installing the drivers & software at some point it happens.

alos it doesnt freez at the moment i press the button it takes some time.

yesterday i viewed tv 2 hours in silent mode no problem but then when i downloaded something and went afk system froze after 10 minutes its kind of crazy.

and i have no such issue with no silent mode system is realy realy rock stable

 

can you do both or do you have to reboot between flashes?

 

It will automaticaly reboot once either flash is done.

 

you need to flash in real dos (not just a command prompt) and yes, you need to flash the kbc/ec, reboot, then flash the bios

 

thanks....

 

BTW, the latest BIOS is .12. Sager will get you a copy if you contact them.

 

i dont wanna contact sager can some1 pls upload latest .12 bios pls and post the change list would be great!

 

No idea where to get it. You'll have to contact somebody. Its not available for download anywhere that I know of. They put it on for my while my system was being repaired.

I'm not going to contact sager so you can be lazy Something you have to work for.

 

theriko thanks for the two updates. Worked like a charm and my laptop booted without all the crackling noises! Wired thing I I had to re reg Vista and reset my desktop background afterwords.

Now does anyone know of Bitlocker is going to freak out about the bios change? I disabled it before I flashed the bios. I couldn't find any info on whether a bios update would effect thumbdrive key users.

 

Spoke too soon. The Bios update caused my computer to randomly reboot. It took a few to figure it out but it is User Pinning that is doing it. Time to see if there is an update for turbo memory.

 

I wonder if .12 is the beta .10-3 BIOS I am on...

 

Wholey Mary Mother of God what have I done!?!?!?! In 20 years of my computer geekdom I have only had one BIOS flash go bad. Though this one appears successful. I’m wondering if it didn’t bring more problems to the table than the origonal BIOS. Since doing the BIOS update My computer went nuts see other post I then did a fresh install of Vista 64 bit with latest drivers yesterday I could find. I have had 3 BSOD realated to Graphics card hardware issues. 3 random reboots that did not even leave any Error report. A slew of error reports telling me to update my ICH9 drivers to the latest drivers which the error report link points to the same ones I loaded. 2 error reports telling me to update my Robinson turbo memory to the latest driver which it aslo points to as the one I have already loaded and a Power BIOS Server crash. I’m trying to go through each one at a time but the random reboots are really freaking me out.

 

Where do you find these bios files?

I just got a Zepto Hydra A17 and they don't have a never bios on their website.

 

You should just read the previous posts knrj.

LordSmack, maybe you could try to flash the bios again, or revert to an older BIOS. You can find previous BIOSes on Clevo's website.

Here's the link again: http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/esupport/MarketDLOut.asp?model=M57xTU&go=GO&type=BIOS

 

I have worked through each issue and to my suprize the Power BIOS Server crash is associated with the Hot Key Utility. What does that thing do anyway? I got the latest drivers from Sagers site. Maybe I should go back to the one on my Driver CD. I haven’t seen one of those Random Reboots in a about 5 hours except for maybe one time when I left for an hour and came back and my laptop was back at the login screen. Didn’t seem like a reboot, more like sleep mode, cause half my apps were still running, and several had to be restarted. One Question though. I tried to use the latest 64 bit Gforce drivers downloaded from Nvidias website. I uninstalled my old sager drivers, restarted windows, tried to load Nvidias drivers. First I got an eror about trying to run Nvidias 32but uninstall program in a 64bit enviroment, then an error about not running 64bit vista, when I clicked OK I got a third error stating I dod not have a compatible video card. So went back to Sagers drivers. They work pretty well.

 

Thanks you very much!

However Their ftp site does not work All their directories are empty

 

knrj: For me it works. Not the first ftp link, but the second. So just try again, it will probably be up again some time soon.

 

LordSmack: Maybe you've download the wrong drivers, try the ones from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/.

I think the latest official mobile drivers are are these:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22783

The drivers from laptopvideo2go do not have the physx engine included so you will need to download that separately: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22708

 

Clevo's website does not work for many people, myself included. Your best bet to get the latest BIOS is to contact your manufacturer, eg Sager, Eurocom.
