Thats for the pointer no I did not do that yet. I'm also thinking of changing the wifi card on the machine to a Intel 7260AC which will require me to hack the bios. So can I just skip this vbios update and flash the bios to the one on this forum? Will take take care of the dual graphics card on 8.1.

I have a y510P with dual graphics cards. I dont play many video intensive games though. But just working on it I notice that the heat on the left side of the laptop is much higher than the right side. The graphics card on the ultra bay is on the right hand side. Is this common?

Hi,

I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 along Windows 8.1 on my Lenovo Y510p. Unfortunately the hibernation test fails under Ubuntu (The OS is unable to boot after the hibernation test). Has anybody got hibernate to work with Ubuntu or any other flavour of Linux?

Thanks,

Keith.

Nope, Lenovo will not sell you an upgrade for the wifi card. When I spoke with a rep he said its perfectly fine for me to do the upgrade myself and that it would not void the warranty. Just that I would have to put the old wifi card back in when sending the machine back to them for any warranty issues.

Hi all,

I purchased a Y510P (Dual graphics cards) a month or so ago. It came with Windows 8 and I upgraded it to Windows 8.1. I also upgraded it to the latest Nvidia drivers. Unfortunately the second graphics card does not work with the latest driver (version 335.23). When I go to device manager it shows the error message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". Reinstalling the driver from the recovery partition (version 311.54) did the trick. I guess the newer driver should be able to get better performance out of the card.

Is there any way around this?
