Anyone know if it is difficult to swap the screen from the 6xxSx Series?

Correct and by the way...today I wrote with the XMG/Schenker-Support and...the guys told me that they will anounce in a few days a new 17,3" gaming laptop. Clevo P670SE/SG should be confirmed!

Wow awesome news! Do you think that the 3GB vRAM of the 970M is enough for the upcoming games?

New date is the 7th december: Laptop XTREEM EV by Clevo P670SG dla Gracza

Thank you very much for your quick response. But you mean the 17,3" model not the 15" model right? ;-) Do you know when we can expect some more informations or reviews of the P670 clevo?

Prema do you have some informations about the P670 clevo model? Like size, weight, display typs (IPS or TN), supported display resolutions?

Hey folks, are there some images and system informations from the P670 Clevo already available?

I am very intrested in these new models. My favourite is the P670 with ...4710HQ, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB Hard Drive + 512 MB SSD, 980M and 3K Display. But there are still a few questions... - Is it possible to get the 980M with 8GB VRAM in this new models? - And Holy Moly are all displays glossy?!

I rebooted my system now after a little bit more than an hour and....still the same error!

I installed windows now from the scratch...fingers crossed! We will see if it works in 1-2 hours.

New informations: I had now a look into the devce manager (after this boot failure) and ..... it shows only the Intel HD4000 with a yellow triangle and a VGA-Standard-Controller. After the Boot Hydra-Vision pops up with a message that there is no ATI driver traceable. When I have a closer look at VGA-Controller and search for new hardware...windows recognizes it as the 8970M without problems. When Ihave a look at the Intel HD4000...windows says error code 43 (Here the original german wording: Dieses Gerät wurde angehalten, weil es Fehler gemeldet hat. (Code 43)) Good news?

A legacy non win 8 mode? I mean...it looks like your prema mod bios but without these tuning stuff. :-) How can I set UEFI mod in Bios? I will do a clean installation on wednesday ( now its too late and tomorrow I have to save a lot of stuff ^^) My 8970M uses this vBios (picture of my card in this thread): http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo/6405-bios-hd8970m-r9-m290x-p-1xxem-2.html

Thank you for your quick answer :-) And if a windows reinstalltion doesnt fix the problem? What would be the next step? PS: Are these screens from a bios or from uefi?

Thank you for your help ... but I am pretty sure that I am using the normal bios. This is how my Bios screen looks: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1594/dscn0465w.jpg And this how my menu looks (without the Prema Mod stuff): PREMA BIOS MOD Review PS: For more background here what I tried today: I uninstalled all AMD stuff and wanted to test the old nvidia 675MX but the desktop "reloaded" every time with the card so I tried to start the laptop without any graphics card. I thought the HD 4000 should be enough but on the desktop the computer starts to beep very loud and after some time the beeps were quieter. So I puted the 8970M back in and everything worked. Is that a normal behavior? The beeps I mean?

Sounds llike hard work...but why can I not even see the boot screen after a normal shut down? All this make me feel that the card is wont accept by my bios very well (just an idea beacuse the computer shut down before the bios screen appears). Or what is your meaning? :-)

Update: I noticed now that this problem also happens when I shut dow my computer normaly and disconnect it from the power for a longer time (overnight). So the Laptop he tries to boot, after 2-3 sec ,before the boot screen appaers, he shut down and will start again after a few seconds. Is thats maybe a bios problem? Maybe the 8970M works only with the Prem Mod Bios in a P170EM? Prema please help me! Please!

Now I tryed the 13.12 WHQL and... no differences. Has no one an idea?

Hey folks, I changed my GPU in my Clevo P170EM from a Nvidia 675MX to a AMD 8970M. Everything is working perfect expect the hibernation. If I do a normal restart I have no problems! But everything step after step I unistalled the nvidia driver, restarted my computer, made a register clean and shut him down, changed to gpus and boot into Win 8.1, installed the AMD Driver (14.4 Mobility WHQL) and restarted my computer again. I tryed a Bios reset to factory settings, a manuel register clean and a new installation of newer chipset driver. The funny thing is that the hibernation works if there is not so much time between the new boot! So if I only shut the computer down for 10 mins everything works but If I wait 2 hours the computer will try to start and before the bios screen appears the computer shut down and start again after maybe 3 seconds. The big problem is that after this crazy boot the keyboard backlight doesnt work and that that the AMD driver says that no card has been found. In the device manager is only a yellow triangle next to the HD 4000. I hope you can help me! Just to let you know...after this gpu exchange there is still the nvidia settings entry in the windows 8.1 system control but if I click on that it says that no exe has been found.

Just to clarify...my vBios detection works correct with a 8970M in a Clevo P170EM.

But the newer made 8970M still works (without a special vBios) in a P1xxEM right? I am aksing because I ordered one yesterday.

Hey Prema, any progress on P1xxEM and 780M?

@ MasterInTheUniverse I wanna upgrade my P-1xxEm with a 8970M and I read your thread here but I dont know why do you flashed a new vBIOSversion? What is better/different? Do you had stability problems with your old vBIOS?

Oh really? There are other vBios versions which are not compatible with the P-EM? I thought that all vBios versions are compatible but good that I asked. :-)

@ Prema Thank you very much! Do you know if a special vBios is required? PS: What about the AMD-Drivers? Are they now recomendable?

Hi Prema are you still working on the 780M Bios Mod for the P-EM model? Otherwise does anyone know if a 8970M work in a P-EM?
