aduy

ok so I was able to find that holding down fn+b forces a bios reset. I have removed both hard drives and only have the usb inserted. I know the usb boots dos but I think it may not be selected as bootable in the bios. I think what I need is a video of someone reseting the bios to stock. then rebooting and changing the boot priority to usb with a recording of the screen and of the keyboard. or if someone can tell me what I need to type in order to boot usb. I know hitting f7 brings up the boot order menu but im not sure when to hit f7 and what to hit after that.

I pressed the function keys for the sound to turn up and i still didnt hear anything. I can however hear the gpu and cpu fans turning on.

Im not sure, ill turn the sound up and see if makes the windows boot up sound. I flashed it in windows and then rebooted. this wasnt the first time I had flashed it this was though, and the previous times worked fine.

ok so I flashed a 680m vbios from klem, using the windows nvflash onto the 680m in my p150hm. then restarted my laptop. it bluescreened during shut down and then the screen went black. can someone help me setup a blind flash usb for my 680m. I tried on my own but i cant tell why its not working. any help would be greatly appreciated.

right but I want to overvolt as well, doesnt that need to be with nibitor or something of that nature?

Hi @Klem I was told that you could possibly help me with a gpu vbios. I got my laptop back on 2011 from a reseller. its a p150hm and had the 485m in it. recently I swapped in a gtx 680m from ebay. it came out of an msi and had the 80.04.33.00.24 vbios. it loaded up fine in my p150hm, however on quite a few games I was getting some nasty triangle artifacts. I used nvidia inspector and found that it was factory clocked at 771mhz. so i got a stock 80.04.29.00.01 vbios and flashed it. so far no more artifacts. the temps werent high either which is strange since it was overclocked compared to a stock card. anyways I was wondering if you could do an overvolt overclock 80.04.29.00.01 vbios for my 680m. I read a thread saying the best setup was something like 1.037v 915 core speed and 1125 memory. Let me know if you can help me out. also if you want to make one with the msi bios it might also work, but then again i dont want to brick my gpu.

cool! can do you have a link?

whats funny though is my card came with an msi vbios and it was factory clocked at 771mhz. it was artifacting pretty bad though so i flashed the 29 clevo vbios. however I did notice that it was using the 33 msi vbios which for the most part was working fine, except the artifacts. doesnt that disprove the notion that in a p150hm i need to run the 29 vbios?

ok so does that mean ill have to find some way to overvolt and oc it myself? it doesnt appear to be overclocking it from what i can tell.

Im a bit confused as to where the download link is. I bought my 680m off of ebay and it seems to have an unknown vbios flashed onto it thats running at 771mhz. anyways can someone point me in the right direction. also I have a p150hm, so ill need the appropriate vbios for that as well, the older the better.

Man, I lapped the crap out of my heatsinks back in the day, I remember I had added a few extra heatsinks and some blowers at one point as well. the resellers tried to make their own versions as well and marketed them as "copper cooling upgrades" the biggest thing was cutting the holes in the cover, and raising the back of the computer up.

I was able to score a 680m for about $200, so far im happy with it, except in fallout 4 it has some triangle issues, and the screen blacks out when I close the lid. other than that its nice fast and cool.

will this even work? im curious as ive heard that above the 680m gets more difficult to just put into an older laptop.

interesting, so are you saying that with a bit of work, you can enable all the cores that are potentially there? you may want to contact one of the resellers directly, im sure they have a bin somewhere.

pretty cool! finally swapped in a 680m into my now antique p150hm. its funny how back when I bought my laptop in 2011 my old laptop from 2006 seemed so outdated. I guess I did buy a top of the line one this time around though, now with the 680m its still at least can run a lot of modern games with decent settings. not bad considering I bought the card for $200, plus i should be able to sell off the old 485m for a few bucks. Has anyone been able to get cards past the 680m working in the p150hm?
