r/MSI_Gaming

Bought a gaming monitor for my son. It develops lines on the bottom. 45 dollars to mail it in. They will replace they say. Then all of a sudden they don’t have the monitor and want to replace with inferior monitor. I gave a list of monitors they have that actually have the features mine has but since they are more money they want to refund without tax I’m screwed out of the shipping as well. Great deal right? Dell actually honored their warranty.

I use an MSI Vector laptop and I was extremely satisfied with the old version of MSI Center, which included the Silent Mode. However, after it was updated to feature only 3 modes (Battery Saver, Balanced, and Performance), I found a way to uninstall it and download the older version. The step prior to that was pausing app updates in the Microsoft Store for 4 weeks, and this method used to work every single time.

However, it seems everything has changed now. I am using Windows 11 Home, updated to the latest build 26200.9168, and it looks like Microsoft has removed the ability to pause app updates in the Store. Whenever I try to pause updates, a prompt tells me that I need administrator privileges to do so, even though I am using my administrator account. I’ve tried every possible way, searched Reddit and YouTube, and literally tried every single method, including writing scripts in Notepad and others, and none of them worked for me.

I am very frustrated with Microsoft and its stupid policies. Now, I will be forced to use the crippled modern version of MSI Center."

So i found today's code for the OLED monitor, however at checkout the code is invalid.

The product still says "live" on the website

Has this happened to anyone else?

What could i do apart from emailing MSI?

EDIT:

Msi responded to me about this, it turns out the code i found was yesterdays. While the msi thing wasnt a scam, it was extremely poor. The website claimed it was "live" but it wasnt till much later. The reason people have been complaining about not being able to find codes, and the codes being redeemed at around 5pm, is mainly because when the code says its "live", its not actually live. It does eventually go live, however you have no idea when, because the "live" tag is actually false. Sale is over now anyway, but just wanted to tell everyone incase they were still complaining of the scam

Freshly built pc it’s been working for a couple days now. I have a Msi b850 gaming plus max and I bought my first game and was downloading it and my WiFi js stopped working only for my pc. Then I got it bk and the speeds went from 120+ mbps to like 5 mbps but on my phone it’s still at 120+. Please help me if u can

I got a new charger for my laptop because its not been working for months and I tried this new charger exact same model I had previous but the laptop still wont turn on no fan or anything not even the keyboard

I just got this (optional) driver update and wondering if i should install this and/or it safe? And what are the changes, not seeing any MSI update details online. I know last update was (1.0.0.15) a few months ago.

I cannot for the life of me set my pwm fans to spin according to my bios settings.

I have purchased all parts 2nd hand and need to know if this mobo needs to be returned.

I have the MSI b450i AC with a 4 pin pwm fan used on the cpu header on the mobo. In bios I set the appropriate settings (smart fan control enabled, pwm enabled and CPU source select) but the fans in both CPU and sys headers spin at 1000rpm. If I set the fans to DC they stop spinning entirely.

I have removed all software that can control the fans and only have core temp running to see temps in windows.

HELP PLEEEEASE!

So I bought the PC around 1.5 years ago and 4 weeks ago my PSU exploded while gaming. I've returned the PC and they said they're gonna replace it under warranty - I just got the PC back and I literally have the same PSU now as I did when it exploded

Wtf is MSI thinking? I'm baffled - My PC has a i7 14700f with a 4070 super

The psu is 500w which is really low considering the specs and IT LITERALLY HAS NO CERTIFICATION on it

anyone else had a similar case to this?

Hey.

So I’ve been on the first version of my bios for my mag x670e tomahawk WiFi for 2 years due to this one issue. Whenever I flash my bios, it always fails and must remove the cmos battery. This is the first and only pc I’ve ever built, so I’m unfamiliar with how to fix this issue. I’ve never really experienced issues though so after the first two failed attempts I just stop trying, but I think it’s time to give it a third.

I mainly dont want to do it since I’m pretty young and am terrified of bricking my setup.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks!

I updated my BIOS today because the version I was running was around 8 years old. After updating I went to play BF6 and realized I would need to re-enable secure boot. After taking the neccessary steps to enable secure boot my computer will only boot to a black screen.

The steps I follow to enable secure boot are as follows:

1. Change CSM to UEFI (This also automatically enables Fast Boot)
2. Reboot
3. Enable Secure Boot
4. Reboot

These are essentially the same steps that I took to orginally enable secure boot a few weeks ago. Has anyone had a similar issue and been able to fix it? I am able to normally use my computer if I reset all BIOS settings back to default.

I know obviously no one can say, but it is the final day of the deal and i was looking to maybe get the item. Based of the previous days, again i know you can't tell, but roughly what time estimate would it be? Any time after a certain time? Thanks for any help
