HI all
As the title says, crashing is something im now very familar with its a joke, ive tried everything!! Im not asking for any advice, im just here to complain and hopefully some other people see this before buying. Heres my boring ass story, but its needed. To cut the biggining out, my son broke my cheap £500 laptop and just before i bought another cheap one, me and the misses sat back and decided to splash the cash and buy something descent for the first time ever (this being the 4th laptop nearly on the 12 year mark), so we put everything we had into this and some, im by no way mr rich man, i mean we really struggled to get the money together for this, but we done it and between this and an asus i picked this. I couldnt of been happier as this was gonna be MY (lol) toy (not the misses :D) and by the specs i was getting a super beast and something so much more powerful than anything i ever had!! I mean i came from something that had not even a 720p screen, an A6, ddr3 4gb 800mhz ram (Woop,Woop!!), some dual amd/ati graphics crap with a 1gb card and a 750gb 5k rpm rubbish hdd and i was moving up to an I7 6820hk, gtx1070 with 120hz gsync display, 32 GB ddr4 2400mhz ram. 512 ssd and 1tb 7k rpm hdd So you could see my excitement in getting the new monster, beast, hero class, super death class star destroyer yeah? Well course you could! I was so over the moon with my new purchase i thought screw it, i just paid £2.5k i might as well pay the nearly £20 for fast delivery. At nearly 27 hours later it arrived (yes i was counting lol). My eyes lite up, i went into immediate 5 year old kid mode as i ripped the bag from around it, got rid of that first box to display that wonderful picture of my new super beast, i then took a moment as i stroked her outer box :D. I then went into surgical mode and opened the box like i was doing open heart surgery on my child (as much as someone with no open heart surgery training could do :D), gently pulled off her sleaves to guess what? You guessed it! A super beast! And it was sitting in my man child hands, i took another moment as i felt around my sexy ass laptop as my eyes turned into sausers as gods heaven rays shinned down upon her, i turned her a little to the left, a little bit two the right, turned her over to see them wonderful grills and insides to finally lift that screen up..... Ohhh yeah, i was so excited, plugged her in, powered her up, while running my fingers over her keys, feeling them exhausts up on the sides and back... "yeah thats good aint it!", i thought to myself. While still blinded by god rays i installed my first game World of Warcraft, i couldnt wait to finally have my pet run behind me rather than in front of me, no more lag from bad graphics that cant even handle WoW and coupled with my new 72mb broadband i would soon be well on my way destroying in pvp and gaining my god like powers back, finally i had a machine worthy of my skills!!! Erm or not!! After install of WoW logged in and bang crash, "ahh what the **** i thought!" Ok maybe it was just one of them things, logged in for about 3 minutes, bang another crash. I done this over and over, changing graphics settings, power settings etc, nothing helped at the time and over the next 2 weeks i was up all over the WoW forums trying every possible solution known to human kind. In the end i landed up getting a max play time of about an hour, but to be honest i think it was just luck i got that long and no solution had worked even slightly. So with all the complaints on wow forums about crashes and disconnects etc, i thought it must be WoW thing that aint working right since new expan or patch and if thats the case im unsubbed until they fix it, (by which time im pretty heart broken by not being able to play my 11 year crush on my new beast with upgraded internet from 16mb), but i thought oh well i have a beast ill finally be able to play loads of graphics intensive games! Installed steam and bought the game fallout 4 as i liked the end of world type thing and it being open world and all i thought yeah man. Well that installed fine and played fine and i was a happy boy, i thought god dam it WoW sort your shiz nit out so i can get playing again, but i was happy for the next month until.... nah i just got board, it didnt crash, but i did install Witcher 3, Deus x MD, MGS, Skyrim, Batman AK and tomb raider (Thank you for being so understanding steam) and the only one of them ones that didnt crash after 5/10 minutes was tomb raider, but it would crash after anything from 1/6 hours. Now i get fallout maybe not crashing because its not as intensive maybe as others (was playing that all maxed out settings at 55c), and on tomb raider i was playing with all settings maxed out hair works the lot, temps were 65c with custom fan curve), but the crash in tomb raider was the same as all the other crashes and please remember i was trying all these games at different graphics settings, power lvls comfort, sport, turbo etc and nothing helped. With all this happening, its safe to say ive installed windows in every conceiveable way now about 11 times, ive installed all drivers in order off msi support page, ive undated any visual cc package, ive looked into directx errors and tried any fix, ive installed in normal and safe modes over different installs, ive installed newer drivers, ive uninstalled drivers, ive checked system for errors, ive underclocked cpu, ive underclocked gpu, ive done Tdrdelay and TdrLevel reg stuff, i stopped windows updating any msi drivers, i started looking into group policy stuff (oh my days like really), ive searched and searched and searched for so many hours and now a good couple of weeks reading differnet things to do with, swap chain failed errors, device removed errors, application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware errors, display driver has stopped responding errors and then at points including the last few days ive thought i was on to something where i spent 30 hours nose to internet only to be dissapointed with all the results and the crash still happening. I paid £2.5K for this? Are you (INSERT WORDS)? This is a grand more than i paid for my sofa and i have these problems with a brand new laptop thats ment to eat Apples, predators and aliens for breakfast because its a ermmm omnivore? Really?? Ive never been so dissappointed with a laptop ever in my life, i really feel like my £500 lappie worked better...... nah not really when its working its full on beast mode, it ate tomb raider like it was nothing, but being able to play 2 out of 7 games that has to indicate a major problem. But..... and heres the but it, passes nearly every benchmark.... heaven, valley, firestrike extreme, firestrike, timespy, all pass with flying colors (search on 3d mark lappy specs and my name, you will see loads of results from me, loads scoring high) and then skydiver happens and guess what? The same crash all over again is guess what!! I can repeat nearly every time without fail by letting the demo play first before the bench, if i skip the demo and go straight to the bench it passes the test, but its that same fail as in all the games making nearly everyone of them unplayable and BTW when i was benching temps never went over 56c and at the demo bit where it crashes temps aint even 40c. I dont think in any way its to do with temps either, i turned down fans on tomb raider at one point and let temps sat at 75c for about 3 hours and it was all fine. As i said im not here to ask for help, im now going to be going through to repair, as this is a major problem, makes this useless for gaming. And for my £2.5 something better be getting fixed. Hopefully this has a good result and ill keep anyone interested up to date, when ever that happens?? MSI??
JUST HAVE A GOOD LONG THINK ABOUT BUYING A GT73VR ANYTHING, i wish i bought the asus now.
Hope i made someone smile at the beginning, but i really was like that when i received it :D.... curves and God rays, curves and God rays :D
