Do you happen to know where you read it from?

Damn that sucks i wouldnt wanna spend another $700+ just to see if it actually was a bad card cant afford that right now although i wasnt all that impressed in benchmark scores it was only 1000 pts higher than my gtx 670m

Ok so after a failed attempt at installing a gtx 780m after it died only a week of barely any use...didnt even get the chance to do any gaming whatsoever only ran benchmarks on it, it bears me to ask the question, which gpu can i install on my M15x to get the best gaming performance without having the gpu go dead on me?

Ok I managed to get it working again.

I removed the gpu and checked everything, cleaned the gpu port and gpu. I also re flashed the original vbios and took off the motherboard battery.

After putting it all back together and starting it up I've had no problems yet.

the original latptop bios or gpu bios?

No dice man same issue

Yup i plugged in my gtx670m...laptop works fine

Although initially i thought the mobo was the problem cuz when i first put the old one in the laptop wouldnt come on

When u say remove the mobo battery do u mean leave it unplugged from the mobo and try to restart?

Yes i had flashed it...the most ive done on it was test 3dmark06 benchmarks had new thermal pads and evrything i was waiting for my usb soundcard to arrive to finally do some gaming and this happens :'(

oh wow man that sucks i hope thats not the case i will try your idea

Now i have a big problem...for about a week that i had the 780m installed it was working fine until today. I was doing some web surfing out of the blue the screen went black...i tried to restart but now all the laptop does is the scroll lock and caps lock lights blink, and the num lock stays solid...ive only had this gpu in for about a week and i havent doen any gaming on it cuz of the sound issue...HELP!!!

Nice! Congrats for your new card. I managed to get the sound working. Disable the windows auto update and auto installation of drivers first, then uninstall the video driver and the IDT sound driver. Keep the IDT disabled in bios and boot in safe mode. Go to device manager and disable all you see about sound. Then enable IDT in bios and install the drivers for it. I don't remember if I did this in safe mode too. In the end, install the video drivers. From what I noticed, the problem is that even with IDT disabled in bios, there is a sound device in device manager(probably from the video card, and this interferes with the original sound device).

Let me know how it goes . You'll work it out in the end, don't worry.

Hey everyone. I recently upgraded my gpu with the gtx780m. unfortunately, since i am new to this site, i cannot download the modified vbios for this gpu yet. so im still on the locked vbios. i have the gpu installed, but in order for me to be able use my laptop i have to disable the audio card from the bios, which i read somewhere on this site. has anyone been able to get their m15x to fully work properly sound and all, or do i need to wait until i flash my gpu to the unlocked version? any help is appreciated. thank you

What do you mean by pull the center pin from the 240 brick? like break it off from the connector?
