Kayelkay Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I am trying to get a GeForce GTX 770M to work in my Medion Erazer X7817, which is an MS 1762 barebone with a 3610-QM CPU, 16GB RAM, and originally had a 670M inside but that has died, so I decided to go for an upgrade.The initial problem is that when I start up the laptop with the 770M installed, it isn't being shown in Device Manager. Not even as a Standard VGA Adapter, only Intel HD Graphics 4000 is present. Thus I cannot install any drivers. NVflash won't detect it either (though I'm pretty sure it's an MSI card, the card itself is green and the seller I bought it from stated it was for both Alienware and MSI 16F3 1763 1762 16F4). Though I know the card isn't dead because the fans don't speed up to 100% after startup, which normally happens when there is no card or a dead card present.So I came to the conclusion that I might need to update my BIOS, but I can't seem to find the right one. I've tried the latest X51 BIOS and the original 30P MSI bios, but when I tried to flash both of those with afudos I got:Error: ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.So obviously I was trying to flash the wrong BIOS.Basically I need the latest BIOS for my laptop, one that will add support for my new graphics card.I know many users are having similar issues, which is very reassuring since I'm not the only one.My laptop: http://www.notebookinfo.de/produkte/medion-erazer-x7817-md-98186/30014555/00012213/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayelkay Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 I figured this out myself, haha! Flashed the E1762IMS.30P BIOS and the 1762EMS2.503 firmware using the /x parameter in AFUDOS onto the laptop (Use -e for the firmware), card showed as a Standard VGA Adapter, installed driver and it worked! Solved by myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
