Thanks for continuing to look into my issue! Some updates on my end: I can't put the computer to sleep in safe mode, so I can't test whether the problem occurs there or not. Not currently running any of MSI's MB management software (I tried to install it all the first time I ran into the...

It's all new hardware, unfortunately. The system, since built, has never not had this problem. I'm open to getting an RMA on individual pieces of hardware - I just don't know which to RMA or if that's even the best solution. Thank you!

Here's the chkdsk results - testing safe mode now!: Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS. A disk check has been scheduled. Windows will now check the disk. CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... 178432 file records processed...

Awesome - thanks for the suggestions! I'll try safe mode in a moment, but because it'll take about 4 hours to determine if the solution worked or not, it'll be a bit before I get back on that one. I'm getting the drivers straight from the MSI website for chipset, USB3, and Ethernet drivers...

Hello! I've been fighting with this problem for about 3 weeks now. I've tried pretty much every solution I could find online and have been unable to make progress, so now I've admitted defeat and am begging for any help anyone can offer. Here's what's going on: [code="css"] New homebuilt...

inzone - Yes, I've tried to use the "Have Disk" option to select the driver files directly. It often looks like it's going to work for a few moments before responding that my computer isn't compatible with the drivers. I'd like to thank you all for you help - I'm currently prepping to revert...

rdg1101 - Yeah, I definitely grabbed the 64 bit. I grabbed the 32 bit as well before I realized my mistake. Unfortunately, it's the Device Manager that's reporting Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Brett - is there any way to force the default VGA driver to use a custom resolution?

Thank you all for your replies! I've actually downloaded the files that you mentioned above, but the computer says I don't meet the minimum requirements for the driver installation. Is there some way to confirm that I'm actually using the Intel graphics hardware? The Sony page also listed an...

Greetings all, I just upgraded my Sony Vaio VGN-SZ491N laptop with an SSD and Windows 7 64-bit. Unfortunately, as I learned after going to Sony's website, Sony only offers driver support for XP and Vista. While I have been able to get most of the laptop's features up and running with updated...

Just as a brief update: Disabling the functionality of the Mouse on/off button and FN+F9 would be an acceptable solution to this problem. I just can't figure out any way to do it. Thanks again for your help! JM

All: I'm having a bit of a conundrum. My Toshiba touchpad has developed a bad habit of disabling itself at random. The device is listed as a Synaptics Touchpad V7.2. I'll be typing along, or moving the mouse, or just doing nothing at all (waiting for a download to finish, for instance) and...

Thank you for the suggestion! Firefox was set to "use system settings." I changed it to "No Proxy." This didn't seem to fix the problem. Some more information: For a common example: I type in usaa.com and get the aforementioned error. If I go to google and type in usaa.com, then click the...

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere -- searching hasn't yet solved my problem... Also sorry if this is in the wrong section. My problem: I'm using a laptop computer on a home wireless network and for quite some time now a number of websites don't load. Firefox displays an "Unable to...

Wow! You guys are fantastic! I bumped my RAM voltage up to 2.0 and dropped the tRAS to 15T and it works perfectly! Just curious, what tipped you off that it was a RAM voltage problem? I was almost certain that it was a problem with my sound card, but was very wrong! Thanks so much!
