Help with Clevo P650SE?

[flamer7]

Hey there guys, I just bought the clevo p650se and installed windows 7 on it. However, as there is no disk drive, and I dont not have an external one, I can't use the windows 7 disc drivers that come with it. Can someone give me advice on how to start everything?

Sorry you meant the drivers >< my mistake

 

everything you need will be on each companies site, eg graphics drivers from nvidia, intel chipset stuff from intel, 

 

if not, if you have any other PC in the house, copy the driver disk to a usb stick

Aye, one question though. when installing intel chipset, at hm87, it got stuck for a long time, so i cancelled the installation. Is it supposed to take really long or ?

It can take a while, its  not 100% essential to install though,

if you have another computer you can copy the files onto an external harddrive and then run it off that, thats what i did

That didnt help they do a few versions, what resolution? if its 1080p thats an understandable reason to be less sharp than your retina display, if its 4k then it should be as sharp if not sharper

haha sorry, its a 1080p. Everything's pretty damn sharp, I guess coming from a retina display you would feel abit weird, but I'll get used to it

Yeah retina display is quite a bit higher resolution, will just take time to get used to

[flamer7]

Yeah I guess so, thanks for the help shadowcaptain!

Sorry, one more thing. I have a ssd+hdd, and whenever I install something it prioritises installing the the ssd, which is small. Is there anyway I can get it to always install in the HDD instead?

I dont know about making everything do it by default

 

I just manually choose where I want my files to be installed, when you install the program just change the file path

 

For steam origin its much easier, create a directory for your other drives, when you install the game there is a drop down list

Ah okay, no prob. thanks!

[Flanelman]

You could try upscaling it

Other than selecting it each time for each download/install im not too sure if there is somewhere to set the default. 

- I am no match for ShadowCaptains response times. GG.

I have this laptop as well. I'm assuming you have the sager rebrand? if not look up sager np8651 its the same laptop and they host drivers online. As for the blurry go to your screen resolution and change the dpi scaling to 100% makes it much better imo. I think windows defaulted at 125% on mine.

I already had it at 100%, but thanks for this. I'll slowly, but hopefully quickly, get used to it.

In case you need drivers again, they are available at http://www.clevo.com/clevo_down.asp?lang=en

Few more things, on the right side, the usb port beside the SIM tray doesn't work, while the two others do. Is it my drivers, or is it simply not working? And, whenever I install synaptics driver, it says synaptics 64bit enhancements has stopped working. I can move the mouse with the touchpad, left and right click, but nothing else! I can't scroll, zoom etc.

 

And, for some reason, the GPU indicator constantly shows that my dGPU is being used, even from windows boot screen to current use! Why is this happening? I have drivers for both nvidia and intel graphics

MySN and Eurocom have drivers on their sites, but some drivers better be the updated ones - like Nvidia drivers

Try contacting your Clevo reseller. They should be able to fix this for you. Did Windows come installed on your machine? And in case you think you got the wrong drivers, you can buy a cheap external DVD reader/burner and run the autorun setup from the disk itself, or just copy it out on another machine and run it from a flash drive.
