Msi Gx710

I’ve tied to install windows xp on mine MSI GX710 for a couple of times, I’ve found some xp drivers on the net, I’d tried to use drivers what I found on MSI site
But every time when I do install xp and when I install VGA driver after I start 3D application or game then is noticeable that laptop working with let’s say 30%
of power what I actually have got in Vista, I tried new Catalyst used mod tool, installation went trough without any problems but performance… that the issue here.
I would like to switch to XP, so if you have any idea how to fix this please help.
Thanx

Welcome to DH.

Would you please post your system specs, it would help diagnose your problem.

You may also want to make sure you updated your chipset drivers. If you haven't, try the Omega Drivers and see if that fixes your performance issues.

Any updates? How did the Omega's work for you?

Yes I’d tried to install Omega driver but did not go through at all so I had decided to switch back to Vista again.
It’s very weird; when I start the game it’s very slow, hard disk is very slow to load a game it takes 3 times longer then in vista
I’ve tried a bunch of different drivers and still nothing,
The problem is that, they (MSI) do not have official XP support for this model.
I really do not know what to do, except to stay with Vista for now. :-(.

First at all for better performace the notebook must be supplied through adapter from power line not from the battery. Second, you should install AMD Power Now Driver for XP (Vista has this driver as default). You can download this Driver from official MSI web (http://global.msi.com.tw) for MSI EX610X notebook (like I understand GX710 and EX610 have the same processors) or go at AMD web and find this driver suitable for your processor. At the end open control panel, than power option and set power schemes on Home/Office Desk!
