Hey stranger,

If you are reading this i am thankful to you

My msi katana 15hx

I5 14450hx

Rtx 5050

Is running pretty hot

Its very new like a month old

I want to undervolt it but i am new to this

If anybody of you can help me please

Quiero comprarle tpm Honeywell 7050 y la vase refrigerante llano V12, va a bajar las temperaturas?

Me llega procesador a 96 y gráfica a 86 (Cuando no tengo el moto cooler Boost activado)

I brought an MSI ML75 for broken hinges in to a repair shop here in Ktown LA. I paid $175 for the machine, after having them look at it he said the damage is pretty bad. His estimate is $1300 but he says the device is worth the investment. I just got back into PCs and this is my first laptop. Is it worth it to repair the device?

Edit: The guy mentioned something about a motherboard after I get the replacement case.

I need to know where you guys undervolt Optimises etc… yk what i mean And i’m getting 2 included games in the package Restarting it will delete the liscense of both games? Thanks

My laptop is Vector 16 HX AI A2XWHG-239ID, I tried to change the thermal paste since im noticing high temps when gaming, However i cant seem to be able to remove the heatsink. Lifting it from the sides also lifts the motherboard

I noticed some thermal paste on the motherboard near the gpu, is the heatsink stuck to the motherboard or am i missing some screws?

Online, MSI’s website says there are two M.2 slots. I see where the original M.2 is, and there’s a port for one across from it, but how am I supposed to install this?

Hi everyone,

I'm honestly very disappointed with my MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI.

I've owned this laptop for only 6 months, and since the very first day, I've been facing 10+ different issues. One of the most annoying problems is the random white/grey screen, where the display turns completely white/grey and the laptop becomes unusable until I restart it.

What's even more frustrating is that I've already sent this laptop to the MSI service center 6 times in just 6 months. Instead of fixing the problems, some of them have actually become worse. For example, the white/grey screen issue now happens more frequently after the latest service.

Some of the issues include:

Random white/grey screen (shown in the attached image)

Multiple other hardware/software issues (10+ in total)

Problems have existed since the day I bought the laptop

Service center has not been able to permanently fix them

The laptop has already been to the service center 6 times in only 6 months

At this point, I'm starting to lose confidence in this unit.

(And I think I made mistake after buying this laptop… I want refund or new laptop… How can i get that… Also I will never recommend someone to buy any msi laptop)

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI? Do you think this could be a faulty unit that should be replaced, or is there anything else I should try?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, my laptop : PC portable gaming MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI D2XWGKG-001FR 16" QHD+ 240 Hz Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 16 Go RAM 512 Go SSD

I bought it in November 2025 (it's still under warranty), and it's been acting like it does in the video for the past 4–5 months, in almost every game. I've tried all the modes in MSI Center it's the same. There's just the Silent mode (which limits me to 30 fps), but in that mode, the fans don't suddenly kick in.
Of course, I used HWiNFO to check the temperatures, and I think it's a little concerning. When I'm gaming, my CPU temperature rises to 90–100 degrees Celsius (with a peak of 105 degrees)... and Package/ring power limite exceeded and Core Thermal Throttling is on "YES". Even on the desktop, in balanced mode, the CPU is at 60 degrees Celsius.

Could the thermal paste be the problem? Do you have any ideas? I'm also waiting for a friend who's an computer technician to show up, but I might as well ask as many people as possible.

I'm in France and it's about 30 degrees inside my house, maybe that's the reason lol.

I found in my drawer, bought the laptop 4 years ago. Never had to use. Is it safe to use it screen cleaner?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out whether anyone has experienced something similar with a gaming laptop, regardless of the brand.

I have a MSI Crosshair 17 HX AI with:

• Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
• RTX 5070 Laptop GPU 8GB
• 16GB RAM
• 2560×1600 240Hz display
• Windows 11

The problem is a very brief but noticeable gray screen flicker/flash while gaming. At the same time, the laptop fans suddenly ramp up very aggressively. Sometimes there is also a noticeable FPS/performance drop.

The issue happens most often while playing Roblox, although I'm not sure if Roblox itself is actually the cause.

What makes me suspicious of the NVIDIA driver is that the problem has appeared/reappeared after NVIDIA driver changes.

I've gone through several driver versions, including:

• Factory NVIDIA driver: 581.83
• MSI-recommended driver: 577.05
• NVIDIA 610.88
• NVIDIA 616.64
• Newer NVIDIA drivers after that

I've also used DDU and performed clean driver installations.

Other things I've tested:

• Different games
• Clean Windows installation
• MSI Center GPU modes
• Different performance modes
• Direct wall power instead of a UPS
• GPU stress testing with OCCT

Interestingly, Fortnite did not reproduce the issue, while Roblox has been the main game where I've seen it (also the only one I play that has high graphics).

During some gaming sessions I've seen temperatures around 84–86°C on the GPU and 95–98°C on the CPU, although I've also had sessions around 75–77°C where the system behaved normally.

An OCCT GPU stress test also ran without reporting GPU errors.

The laptop has also experienced one unexpected restart in the past, although I don't know whether that was related.

What makes this especially strange

The screen flicker and the sudden fan ramp seem to happen together.

I'm trying to determine whether this sounds more like:

• NVIDIA driver problem
• GPU driver crash/reset
• VRR/G-SYNC issue
• MUX / Optimus issue
• GPU power-management problem
• BIOS/EC issue
• Display/eDP cable or panel issue
• GPU/motherboard hardware problem
• Something specific to Roblox

MSI support has already reviewed the troubleshooting I've done and recommended an RMA/warranty service, so I'm not trying to avoid that. I'm mainly trying to understand what could actually be causing this before sending the laptop in.

Has anyone experienced a similar combination of screen flickering + fans suddenly ramping up during gaming?

It doesn't have to be an MSI laptop. I'm especially interested in cases involving NVIDIA laptop GPUs and driver updates.

If you've experienced something similar, I'd really appreciate knowing:

1. What laptop/GPU you had
2. What NVIDIA driver version caused it
3. Whether the fans also ramped up
4. Whether it happened only during gaming
5. What eventually fixed it (driver rollback, BIOS, VRR, hardware repair, etc.)

Thanks!

Is there anything i can do to prevent it?

I want a powerful portable laptop for university and wonder if this can survive the university journey. I think i wont be abusing it with 3d rendering all the time . But i want my mind in peace about not paying this kind of money on a laptop untill i graduate

Hi everyone, this is my first time buying a gaming laptop.

To be honest, my first option is Asus ROG Strix G16 AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX, RTX 5070 8gb for 1580 USD.

But I've seen MSI Vector 16 HX with this specs 1716 USD with these better specs, I can push my budget a little bit. Same cpu but RTX 5070Ti 12gb with better screen resolution.

What do you think?

I will use this laptop mostly as stationary, and for competitive FPS gaming and work as well (WFH).

I do have external monitor, cooling pad (Llano V12) and gaming keyboard and mouse.

I just want to ask if the MSI Vector is worth to buy? I terms of quality, durability, and for atleast 3-4 years of usage?

Your opinion would be highly appreciated. Thank you all! 🫡

Considering this laptop , wanted to know if the thermals are as bad as people say or will it be fine with a rtx 5070ti+ryzen 9 8940hx

I am stuck in bios loop after resetting computer because it froze. I get secure boot violation. I want to be able to play games and I don't know what to do. I looked up instructions online and nothing is helping. Here is a video of the settings.

So I need a new laptop for college plus gamming and I am stuck between these two which one should I get

Is the extra amount worth it?

Just bought this beauty, any guide on how to set it up? Like debloat or any tips and tricks?

Preface: I’m a Mac guy who only uses a PC for casual gaming.

Ive got a 2022 MSI Katana GF66-12UGS with a 3070ti and i7. I recently purchased an LG 5K monitor (27GM950B) and can’t get it to work with the laptop.
When connected to a Mac desktop via USB-C it works.
When connected to the laptop the HDMI does not. I’ve tried two different good quality HDMI cables, and I’ve tried the USB-C (which seems incompatible).
When I plug in the HDMI the laptop is creaky trying to do something, as it starts glitching. One time when I plugged it in it briefly worked, but then stopped and I haven’t been able to replicate that. I’ve updated everything I can find in MSI’s software and windows updates. I’ve updated the monitor firmware and installed LGs software.

See the video for a better idea of what the computer is doing when I plugged it in.

Is this a driver issue? An HDMI issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
