Well Unolocogringo, you're a freakin godsend.... :) I just reinstalled the VGA drivers on that page that you linked for BOTH the Nvidia and Intel cards and it's working like a pro now. I guess I thought I didn't need the intel driver because of the dedicated card, but I was mistaken. However...

I'm going to uninstall drivers and reinstall from that page (I think I had already done that in the past though) and I'll report back what happens then. Thanks.

I did go through MSI's website to download all the drivers for things like the card reader and the audio adapter, but they don't have anything for this laptop (GE60 Apache) as far as video card drivers are concerned. I thought going to the Nvidia website, that I listed above, and downloading...

Good afternoon all, So I just bought a new MSI laptop last week and decided to order one without a hard drive installed to save some money. I also purchased a Samsung 850 SSD and installed it with the windows 8.1 64 bit OS that my school has provided me and I am running into all sorts of...

Hey all! Not sure if this is the right forum, but I figured I'd ask here because I don't know where to go. My question is that I am building a new computer in the next couple weeks with the NZXT Phantom full tower case that I just bought. It has plenty of cooling available with all it's fans...

+1 to Bodeen's build for you. Go with that, possibly a better PSU if you want since there is room in your budget (I'm looking to get a Gold Plus for my build just to keep the power consumption down overall) and you should be set. Goodluck!

Graphics settings in game will definitely vary from game to game, but a 660Ti can handle most games on medium and some on high/ultra with not many FPS drops. Games such as Starcraft 2 and WoW, which are more CPU heavy as opposed to GPU heavy, will be able to run on High/Ultra. This card might...

I think it is a nice looking build, I've been using "pcpartpicker.com" to check my compatibility and I know there are tons of sites out there for that. You're build looks like this on there: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz...

Oh and you could upgrade your RAM to 16GB for about the same price if you are looking to buy relatively soon. Here's the link: 16GB Corsair Vengence 2x8GB 1600 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233246 Make sure to use the promo code: VMEPROMOMAR13 And if you want a...

I am in about the same spot you are, looking for a case that can give sufficient cooling to my 3770k and 7970 with relatively "safe" overclocking. And I've been trying to find out if I really should shell out for a full tower in this situation. I have been reading and it seems like a full...

Oh and possibly get 2x8GB RAM modules instead of the 4x4GB, shouldn't change performance of your system at all, and it will cut about $30-$40 off your total and leave the room open for expansion in the future without trashing anything. In my build I am doing that so that when I save up the...

I see, I thought you wanted an LCD Monitor, but I realize now lol Well if that's all you want the computer for I don't know why you would need the 3570k even, I might even send you back to the 2500k or an AMD processor (sorry I don't know anything about them). I also think that you don't need...

What are you looking to do on this computer? Like what games and resolutions do you want to play at? This will help us determine what/if anything should be changed. Looks like a nice build though IMO. I'd say possibly bump up that 660 to an AMD 7950 or 7970 if you have the cash to spend on it...

Well I figured since I had 33 views and no reply I could give some kind of update to try and kick start the conversation. I have been trying to narrow down variables all day, and I think that the power supply is not the true issue here. I have found that if I blow a fan on the power supply the...
