Ralkef Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I recently upgraded from a 580m to a 770m on my M17x R2. I have the card working perfectly however I have to disable the onboard HD audio for it to work or else I get the dreaded white screen like so many others have also reported with this upgrade. I have have been doing a bunch of digging around on this site and others to see if there ever was a GPU BIOS (vBios) or system (Alienware) Bios update anyone had come up with the resolve this issue. I have seen others request this as well but I have not come across a solution.I have seen threads for the R3 and R4 where people did swaps of video cards to eventually get their onboard audio to work however I have never see anyone report success with that on the R2.Many thanks in advance for any direction you can provide.Thanks!

netomx Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Same problem I have. I dont remember how I did it on a friend's R2 but I upgrade to W8 and I have that problem.... Luckily, his old HDD has W7 and working good. I will try today what I think it did: use old card, install w8, install all drivers, expect sound card (his working w7 is using windows's drivers) and then swap the video card.
