farmer bobathan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hello! I am new to these forums and was hoping that I would be able to get help. I have a MSI GT70 Dominator with an Intel Core i7-4800MQ and an Nvidia GTX 870m. I just recently replaced the motherboard on my laptop because the power jack had broken off. The motherboard originally in my GT70 was labelled MS-17631 VER:1.1 but the motherboard that was sent to me (it was advertised as a VER:1.1) is labelled MS-17631 VER:0a. The bios on the new motherboard mention a GT60. Anyways, I'm having problems getting my Nvidia GTX 870m to work and I believe this may be because I was sent an incorrect motherboard. The seller says the version shouldn't be an issue. Is there a significant difference between the two boards or is there another bios I should flash? Thanks for any information you can give me to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exper1mental Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If you run CPU-Z what does it say your mainboard model and revision is? If you run DXDIAG what does say for your BIOS? If you did indeed get a GT60 mobo both of these should tell you just that. I would definitely check to see if your BIOS is up-to-date and then proceed accordingly. If your still having trouble I would recommend contacting Svet on the MSI forums. He makes custom BIOSes that fix issues just like this. With the BIOS I got from him I'll be able to use a 970M with my CZ-17 (which is an MS-1762 or barebones GT70) in addition to a ton of other stuff.

farmer bobathan Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) I have not made progress on this problem. I'm messing around with the BIOS now but using Windows is frustrating because the CPU is being capped at 110mhz. I'm having trouble flashing the linked BIOS because my current BIOS doesn't have the Update UEFI BIOS option. Update: I included a screenshot of the cpu-z window.

farmer bobathan Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Updating here just in case anyone comes across this in a google search in a few years. I managed to fix this problem by flashing E1763IMS.51B bios from the GT70 2PC. I followed the instructions for flashing using the UEFI boot drive. I had to modify the FLASH.NSH file in a text editor to be: AfuEfix64.efi E1763IMS.51B /p /b /n /k /r /x /recovery I also had to put FLASH.NSH, E1763IMS.51B, and startup.nsh in the same directory as the .efi files. The flash seemed to fail when it got to recovery but after rebooting my cpu wasn't throttled anymore. I then had to modify my NVidia drivers' .inf file to recognize my graphics card because the new motherboard, not being the same kind that came with the laptop, changed the hardware id of my graphics card. I just did this last night and all seems to be going well so far. Also, I found the .efi files after much frustrated google searching but the forums won't let me attach them.

CrimsonKing Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 there was no way for you to resolder the original mobos power plug back to the board?? The housing around the plug is really solid...wondering how the heck you ripped it out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloetschkopf Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 You only need Afudos in Dos: Afudos E1763IMS.51B /p /b /n /k /r /x E1763IMS.51B is UEFI Bios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
