Don Philippo Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I will try to find help in this Forum here. I changed my GPU from 6970m to a Clevo 7970m. The new GPU is shown in Bios - and i installed the latest driver from AMD. But know the problem: No Bios and a lot of other Information is shown in differnet tools. I can't Switch to the new GPU. The Alien is just running with the Intel GPU. Here some screenshots: Is the adaptor 0 the Intel GPU oder the AMD GPU? I really Need help - can someone connect to my Alien via teamview?? Thanks, Philippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Philippo Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I tried to flash some vbios version but all failed. In the meanwhile i'm pretty sure, the adapter 0 is my amd GPU. But i have no chance to flash it with atiflash or atiwinflash. Other ideas or solutions for my problem?Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdblaster Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Did you follow the guide on how to install 7970M in R3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Philippo Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Exactly, but switching to PEG and turning off the iGPU results in 8 pieps and a black screen. Reseting the BIOS (back to SG) and i can start the R3. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think clevo vbios doesn't work for m17x R3.After the fail, I got Dell 7970 and it worked flawlessly except for the dimmed screen which could be solved by hwinfo.

papamancs Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hi.I have: Alienware m17x R4 and Alienware m17x R3so I did this for R4 with 7970: I've created a bootable FAT32 USB drive with rufus. ( https://rufus.akeo.ie/ ) This created a FreeDOS system, the boot files. FreeDOS option must be selected before formatting.I then downloaded the VBIOS: ( https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/132831/Dell.HD7970M.2048.120629.rom )I renamed the file tu 7970.rom, then copied the memory stick.I downloading that: AtiFlash3.95 ( https://app.box.com/s/b3433fed2ee8ffbb1938 )The contents of the zip file is copied to the USB flash drive root directory, wherein is 7970.rom.Then the machine is restarted. F12 is pressed and the USB storage boot option to choose from.Freedos started ....The following command at the VBIOS update occurred: atiwinflash -f -p 0 7970.romI hope you succeed. Remember to the VBIOS upgrade always involves high risk, and just do it at your own risk at all of the above.Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Philippo Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I tried two different vBIOS for the HD7970M: Dell.HD7970M.2048.120629.rom Clevo.HD7970M.2048.120605.rom I changed the name to HD7970M.rom Clevo.rom because DOS only takes 8 characters in the name. I used the ATIflash tool. But every time i get the same error. First of all i unlock the Bios and get the answer that the ROM is now unlocked. The next is to get Infos to the Adapter and detailed Infos. -i and then -ai Now i tried to upload/Flash one of the vBIOS to Adapter 0 - but always the same error: Failed to read ROM Error: 0FL01 Someone here to trade in my clevo card to a Dell 780M card ???

Don Philippo Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Tried it - but no adapter 1 found!I'm pretty sure that adaptor 0 is the Clevo GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
