You need to switch the Video mode to SG in the Unlocked BIOS to see the 1060. It's found in the second Advanced tab You need to run a modified Nvidia driver to run any Nvidia card that wasn't released with the laptop. https://null-src.com/posts/nvidia-notebook-driver-inf-mod/post.php

I am using a custom unlocked vbios that i've had unlocked back on my msi gt70 and it seems to work. I would strongly suggest trying to install the unlocked bios on your m18xr2 and try with that. Also try to boot with hdmi connected. If the lines still appear it is either a vbios/driver/ monitor chain issue. Worst case scenario it could be a bad GPU. Hope for the best. Pm me your email so that i may send you stuff.

Hello @Leomm try to use ''NV Clean Install'' - you will find it if you google it. That is a helpful program that mods the drivers and it installs them for you, no hussel with inf modding. Please use that and tell me what happened. Normally, due to your GPU vbios, as I can see - according to the subsystem id - the drivers should work Plug&Play. What bios is your system running? Hope it helps. And for the throttling problem -- go to bios -- activate the IGPU-- save -- login to windows -- restart-- deactivate igpu and set to peg -- and also always peg on -- if your are running the (A11 unlocked bios) save and reboot. If all of that will not work then the vbios might be corrupted, i will give you a different one if you want maybe that will work. Best Regards.

Hmm... I noticed, when there is no problem, when I turn on the alienware it first pulls 200 watt then it go down to 118 watt until it is finished booting up. Then it settles at 147 watt. When the problem is there I can already see it when I turn it on, because under the whole boot season it pull 80 watt and when finished it settles at 105 watt. What the hell can be causing this strange behaviour? Because now after one night without using it. It is now working again???

Here is the final result, I used the same colour as my car, a metallic blood red. What could be very cool would give it some sort of coating which changes colour as it gets hotter. But first I need to test it for the long gaming sessions.
