Well, after a lot of google I finally find out why my laptop it shutting down after 30 minutes: "The ME region needs to be cleaned from initialization data and reflashed. You need to dump with "fpt -d spi.bin" and follow the cleanup guide. If you receive error 26 then check this post and ignore the first and last sentence." Right now i'm stuck on the "error 26", and the solution it's not that easy so we'll see how it goes Edit: This is the fix for the error 26 : "Intel Anti-Theft needs to be disabled as it is EOL since 01/2015 and can cause issues if left activated nowadays. You need to reflash the ME region with one that is clean+configured and with AT disabled. For that you need write access to it's SPI region and thus either a programmer or the "pinmod" is required. For the latter, you need to find what audio chip your system has, find it's pinout schematic online and look for pins SDATA_OUT and DVDD. Then, short these two while the system starts during POST and stop when the OS starts to load. Once booted, check (use FTK - check here)"fpt -d spi.bin" and it should dump the whole SPI image without the error 26. Remember that this process is temporary, if you reboot or shutdown you will have to do it again so if you succeed (not so easy with such small audio pins nowadays) try to do everything together. When that's done, take that "spi.bin" on another computer (to not have to do the "pinmod" again) and follow the Engine cleanup guide which has detailed instructions on how you can remove any initialization dirt while keeping OEM settings (clean+configure) and how to permanently disable AT at the same time. At step 8 of the guide, additionally go to "Descriptor Region > Master Access Section" and set all Read and Write Accesses to 0xFF (6 in total). The previous step will disable the SPI image protection so that you won't have to redo the "pinmod" if for some reason you need to reflash or change something. Once you are done and the system is fully operational/repaired, you can re-enable that lock if you so desire as Intel recommends for security purposes. When you finish the guide and have a modded SPI image with a ME region which is clean+configured and without AT, go to the laptop and flash it using " fpt -rewrite -me -f outimage.bin followed by "fpt -greset" command. Once the system resets, check if the problem is gone, if you can now see the Intel ME interface at Device Manager and if MEInfo and MEManuf tools report everything as being ok. Your system is Ivy Bridge (Panther Point PCH) so you need to use ME 8 firmware and system tools, nothing else."

Current GPU temp its 46°, CPU temp 49°

The battery doesnt work. I will check the gpu temp and report back

Hello I have a strange issue with this laptop:Procesador: Intel Core i5 3210M (2500 MHz - 3100 MHz)RAM: 8GB DDR3 (1600 MHz)Video Cards: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Integrada) NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (DDR3) (1GB) BIOS version : P04RAB MICOM Version: P04RABIt stopped working for no reason, it turned on, I could hear the cpu fan but It got no image , so i took it to a tech store and the guy manage to "fix it". It now turns on but it shuts down after 45 minutes with no warning and not by overheating (I have checked the cpu temp), the tech guy has no idea why. I checked the charger with a multimeter and the voltage output is correct. Any help would be apreciated.

I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Dual-X OC in my rig , a nice card but cant run games at 1080p Good luck everyone !

My first gpu was a Nvidia Geforce MX4000 128mb ddr, a few years later I change it for a Nvidia Geforce fx-5200 256mb. On ther 5200 I managed to run resident evil 4 o my first pc ( intel celeron 1ghz + 512 of ram )

I'd like the keyboard because mine sucks, the space bar get stuck almost every time

I want an SSD because I need more boot speed on my potato PC

Ok, I just install it and no issues so far, play darksiders 2 for over 1h and all good, but on MGS V Ground Zeroes I still have the windowed mode issue , must be the game then. Thank you all for the comments

Has anyone tried the omega drives on a 7790 dual oc ? If someone has tried , does the drivers working fine ? Im asking because in the past i had issues with the drivers on this card so I'm always reluctant to update. Rigth now im using CCC 14.4 but im having some issues on Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes, the game works fine , but every 10 minutes changes it from full screen to windowed mode automatically , no idea why

My motherboard ( MSI NF725GM-P43) ,has a PCIE 1.1 slot and my graphic card is PCI 3.0. My keyboard (Genius KB 200), has broken keys, spacebar sucks and some other keys get stuck when pressed.

nice info

Well I fix my first problem by restoring my system , the other problem was fixed by using AdwCleaner

awesome post !!!

Well , I just restore my system , and the network connection shows on my system: now the problem is this one : I cant access the properties on the IPV4 protocol
