Ethrem Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 yesWhat files do you have in the directory? You should have 2 DLL files, one 32 bit and one 64 bit along with the executable and the ROM. Not at my computer at the moment but if it has that error I'd imagine you're missing those. Also make sure you disabled any and all security software on your machine to make sure it's not blocking it.

Is your romname to long by accident? It should not have more than 8 letters I guess. 2.) Are you using mnvflash as provided in the startingpost? As good old nvflash won`t do the job anymore on Win 8.x Best regards phila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phila_delphia Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Sounds weired...Could be a case for Mr.Fox. He ought to know about flashing Alienware Bios.Then again: When did you buy your card? And did you get it single or as part of a preconfigured notebook?Best regardsphila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 i have just flashed card !!! problem was when i type command and press enter it takes about 5 min to flash card . I remeber when i flash my 780m in dos it was just 1 min . So when i was flashinh my 980m i was waiting only 2 min not longer then that (stupid:D) .

phila_delphia Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi! I am glad to hear you finally succeeded flashing the card.Unfortunately I am not into external monitors.When I connect my beamer to my notebook all I have to do is activate it through the windows cham bar...But you say the monitor is not recognized at all? Have you checked the hardwaremanager? Perhaps you`ll need a special driver?!Best regardsphila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniegu Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 well i dont think so . yesterday was fine 100% it stop working when i upgrade card. How do i can check it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrem Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 well i dont think so . yesterday was fine 100% it stop working when i upgrade card. How do i can check it??Did you check it before flashing the modded vbios and is this a Clevo or Dell card you got from them? It's a pain but the surefire way to find out is to work backwards on anything you have done with the machine until you find the problem. If last thing you did was flash mod vbios, flash back to stock, reboot and try and work back from there. It's possible the machine doesn't like the 980M or the vbios when it comes to the display port. Drivers can do it too. I can't use Mr. Fox's modified drivers because they break HDMI on my machine.

Ethrem Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I flash without doing backup....Is it Dell or Clevo card? Always make a backup (although I've done the same error myself before). I have vbios for Clevo card but not for Dell card. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hesitate to give you Clevo vbios as I don't know if it works with that card. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand I do not think that the vBios has any effect on the functionability of the external screen.Best regardsphila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniegu Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi. Problem resolved. It was modified driver issue. I have download Mr.Fox driver mod 344.75 and all works fine now. BIG Thank You to Mr.Fox :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbettcher Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm having the same issues Sniegu, I'll give it more time like you suggest.My rig:Alienware 17 (just ordered in Dec 2014)i7 4810mq32gb Kingston HyperX DDR3LHIDevolution - 980m GTX 8gbWindows 8.1 ProSo all you said you did was give it some extra time to flash? Did it also show nothing for a status until it finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 People with crashes/problems could also try the Maxwell Mods for Clevos (Clevo section). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
