MickH Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have a Dell M6600 with an Intel i7-2760QM that seemed to have a failing GPU. Everything else works fine. A user on a different forum posted that he was able to install a K3100m onto his M6600 with no issues. I purchased a K3100m on eBay. It was listed as a Dell card: eBay Link When trying to boot to my original miniSSD, the Windows 10 boot logo would show, but it wouldn't go anywhere from there. When I used a bootable USB drive with a Windows 7 installer loaded on it, it was also not progress from the boot logo. I learned that I could possibly install the Dell vBIOS on it to allow it to operate, so I used Rufus to create a bootable Windows 98 USB drive. This wasn't able to load. I tried booting into Ubuntu from but received a notification that there was a problem with "acpi_tb_load_namespace" I don't remember the exact message. I tried booting directly to OpenSUSE. This warned me that there is an issue with my PnP-BIOS. Is it possible that flashing a new vBIOS could resolve this issue, and can that even be done? I'm trying to begin a major CAD project, which is why I purchased the laptop in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

taipei888 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Have you tried removing CMOS battery or try resetting BIOS to default? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sliderfra Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 hi, M6600 will not work with Kepler cards IIRC. You are strictly limited with Fermi cards, or you can try "newer" AMD Firepro (M6000, M6000) that also work with M6600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
