with a typical undersize battery, is not truly portable, and should always be plugged in to use anyway.
\- After doing all of this, I downloaded and installed the latest BIOS from the MSI Katana GF66 website. I then installed Windows 11 operating system, followed up with Driver Booster freeware, which quickly got everything up to speed, followed by the more thorough but manual Driver Identifier freeware, as the drivers downloaded from the MSI Katana GF66 website are not all user friendly.
Well... that's the best I can offer on this, so I hope it helps.

Looking to price check a MSI laptop I’m looking to sell used
I have a MSI GL65 9SC I purchased In 2019. I7, 8GB ram and NVIDIA GTX 1650 graphics card. Laptop is in great shape. All buttons working no issues with screen. Obviously the battery is shot and has to be plugged in 24/7 to work. Can’t find much info on these used online. I’m probably not digging deep enough to find a price but what is a fair used price on this laptop? Looking to sell it to a buddy and give him a friendly discount. Thanks!

Any issues running fivem on msi vector 16 5070ti?
I’m interested in buying this laptop as Walmart has a pretty price point on this. I’ve seen two people say it overheats and crashes when playing fivem. Anyone have this issue? Sharing link for full specs.

LF Laptop recommendations 😢
SHS Student here, currently looking for a good laptop na 30-35k or 40k max. Mayroon kayang affordable but palong-palo sa specs/performance? Medyo gamer din ako pero strict lang sa budget so sulit talaga ang habol. What are your recommendations for me? 💔🥀

Issues
I tried turning on my Katana 17 this morning and nothing would happen, so I looked up a YouTube tutorial and it told me to do something called an EC reset by holding the power button for 30 seconds.
Did that, the computer starts, and I’m shown SECURE BOOT VIOLATION Invalid signature detected.
I press ok and now I’m on a red and black screen that says MSI click bios, and I’m not sure what to do.
There’s options on the side in read like F9: optimized defaults, and F10: Save & Reset
Any help would be great as I’m not very tech savvy , I don’t want to change anything on my computer but I don’t know if it’s alright to save & exit.

MSI Raider 16 HX AI A2XW
Hey everyone!
I just got my hands on the new MSI Raider. I ended up grabbing it from Canada Computers since it was quite a bit cheaper than other laptops with similar specs. My configuration has the Intel Core Ultra 9, RTX 5090, and 64GB of RAM.
I’ll be putting it through its paces with a mix of gaming, heavy Python scripting, and GIS workloads. Before I start setting everything up, I wanted to ask if anyone here has the same model?
Would love to know if there’s anything specific I should watch out for, settings I should tweak out of the box, or just general advice for this machine.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone Else Have Sound Stuttering Issues?
I seem to have some sound stuttering issues from time to time on my Crosshair 16HX. Basically it sounds like interference once in a while. I'm not sure why this is happening. Anyone else have this? I guess I could simply try and reinstall the sound drivers but I wanted to know if anyone else had this issue.

Help- msi gf63 thin
my laptop as of recent is... in some rough shape. it began hard crashing recently and each tim I run a check when able it says nothing is wrong and all is operational.
the ssd is fine, the ram, it says my gpu and cpu is OK, even the battery.
as I try to continue using it, it has full lock ups where I cant even turn it on. it shuts itself off, lingers on a black screen, and hard crashes even on the boot up.
the laptop is about 3 years old. ive replaced just the keyboard and put some new thermal paste in hopes it was a heating issue, but nothing seems to be fixing the crashes.
right now, it powers on, but the screen is unresponsive

Finally Happened to me as well! MSI GE76 Hinge broke on its own.
My laptop is almost 4 years old and I thought I was lucky and my hinge is not going to break. But it happened today. It broke on its own. I was not even opening the screen. It was in open state since night and it just broke.
When will the class action lawsuit bring justice?

My laptop stays around 90-95c when gaming and not able to undervolt it
I have a msi thin 15
I5 11th gen (not able to undervolt because it's bios locked I think)
Rtx 3050 4gb vram
16gb ram
My laptop cpu is always around 92-95c when gaming and my GPU stays around 85-88c and I never noticed it and recently checked the temps
And I did change the thermal paste
