  1. do i paste both the nvdmn.inf and nvcn.inf into the 320.49 driver "display.driver" folder or only the nvcn.inf.
  2. Thanks for your input, i tried to do it this way but it did not work. when i set IDE to AHCI, to gives me BSOD then restart even in safe mode, so i had to set it back to RAID. my hardware ids for the GPU is PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_119F&SUBSYS_04901028&REV_A1 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_119F&SUBSYS_04901028 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_119F&CC_030000 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_119F&CC_0300 i cant find these line in the modded .inf, maybe this might be the reason, not sure. As i said im not good at modding drivers. any advise would be appreciated. thhank you
  3. i changed display to PEG and the IGD was disabled. i still have the same problem. Now in safe mode i cant install the drivers, its not detecting the card. i also tried a new driver 320.49 beta with no luck, it did not detect the hardware either. When the display is in SG, the 311.27 does detect, but not the 320.49. how about the pci express graphics, should change anything in the options.
  4. I did install the unlocked bios A12 for the R3, manage to find the video config options, and i did disable the integrated GPU (didn't touch any other settings). I reinstalled the 780m, got pass the boot screen onto the screen where windows 7 loads( the windows 7 animation) then no login screen or anything, my whole screen is just showing different colours or sometimes just white, then a beeeep, then it restart (or crashes not sure, no BSOD). So what I did is I booted into Safe Mode, and everything works as it should, got to the login screen, typed in my password and it loaded. I checked the device manager, to verify display adapter, it said standard VGA( ok!!??), so i uninstalled the current nvidia driver which was the 320.xx and had to restart. Got back into safe mode, installed the driver which is available on the upgradeyourlaptop's ebay page Index of /support/drivers/upgradeyourlaptop/Alienware. The driver version is 311.27, it detected the device and installed, but there was no screen blinking or anything during the process (which is weird right?) and then said installation completed and i closed the setup (which was the only option available). I went back to the device manager/Display adapter, where now it shows the GTX 780m.(was so excited). so i restarted the system went back into normal mode. I have the same problem still, the screen stays white or red or pink or..... then a beeep and it restarts (my guess it crashes cause i got a crash report when i went back into safe mode). In Safe Mode its still show the adapter the is 780m. I'm not sure what is causing this, my guess, i have to tweak something the the bios setting or maybe installed a Vbios update or a modified version. Or maybe the driver is not working properly. As i said i'm not sure. I also checked the screen resolution/ advance setting, and no information about the GPU is available under the adapter tab. it all says not available. Checking the adapter properties, the driver is 'VGAsave'. I need advise, anything u got is most welcome. thank you everyone.
  5. Ok, so i finally got my gtx 780m, installed it and everything was perfect, the Thermal paste, thermal pads and the X- Brakets fits perfectly. Plugged it in, then put everything back together AND BAMMMM!!!!! (lol, nah didn't explode). Its stuck at the load screen (the alien head logo boot screen). So i had to reinstall the 460m for now. Right now, its past midnight, too tired to go at it anymore... I'm thinking it might be the Motherboard Bios, I have version A12 installed. i read somewhere (can't remember where) it requires A11, but its for R4 as far as i know. I'll try to install the bios in the morning and try it once more. If these does not work, i'll contact eurocom for some help.
  6. ok guys, the 780m is on its way in the mail, i will let u guys know how it does. Figures Cross!!!
  7. i haven't done any major upgrade on my system since i bought it, i only added RAM to it. My current spec is: i7 2720qm gtx460m 256 ssd 12 GB Ram I wanna get the gtx 780m, i've already done all the research i could, as far as i know as of right now, it will fit and work. But ( there's always a but:distrust:), i read somewhere that there might be some issue with the TDP. something about the 780m uses 122w and the voltage is higher than my current graphic card. I'm buying it on ebay from upgradeyourlatop. they said it should work fine. So is the TDP relevant or not? will my rig be able to handle the heat and power requirement. What other issues should i be concern about before buying the card? 'm buying it on ebay from upgradeyourlatop. they said it should work fine. thanks for the adviceI
