  1. I managed to resolve my flashing problem. I've emulated the 780m, that didn't solve my over clocking problems. I have noticed that my core clock doesn't fire up straight after a system restart like it use to before taking the 340.43 update. Nvidia Inspector allows me to over clock again, the moment I fire up Nvidia Control Panel, which obviously, is kicking my core clock in at 993mhz. It seems that I'm having to use more voltage with minor over clock settings, since taking the 340.43 update. I've supplied you with my stock vbios in your request thread matey. I was hoping that we could work together, to come up with a solution. I'm willing to test any vbios for stability ext.. I will also donate to you again, for putting so much effort into this.
  2. Tried if. I've tried to even emulate the 780m. It fixes my issue until I restart, I'm back to square 1. I isn't have this problem at all before I updated to the beta driver. That beta driver must have something to set a flag of some sort. Not just in the vbios, but somewhere else as a clean flash would resolve my problem if it was related to just the vbios.
  3. I reverted back to stock. It appears I that I can still alter the core, memory and voltage, where as before, I couldn't at stock. With the latest driver, running +20 on the core clock in heaven. My driver crashes mid way through the test. My temps are at 73c (which is good), but I should be crashing at +20 on the core clock. I flashed the vbios from Slv and John, and yeah, let's not even go there. I don't think the vbios is broken in any way shape or form. I seriously think that Nvidia implemented something new in the latest beta driver. It's hammered my 880m, and the damn thing now acts worse than an Intel 4600HD.
  4. Hi Slv, how you doing matey? I donated to you the day I downloaded the 880m vbios you came up with. I've since been having some odd problems with your vbios for the 880m. Nvidia Inspector, EVGA and MSI, all function as if my vbios is still stock after each computer restart. The only way I can get the over clocking functions working again, is to start Nvidia Control panel before opening Nvidia Inspector. I also have a few other problems, such as, driver crashes during Heaven Benchmarking. Plus, EVGA acts up with your current vbios for the 880m. I was wondering if you could take a look at my stock vbios and create me a more stable vbios for the latest beta driver if possible please matey? I've attached my stock 880m vbios link for you to take a look at. If you would like me to provide anything. I will be more than willing to do so, as I'm seriously reconsidering getting rid of my 880m at the moment. FileSwap.com : nightdex's stock 880m rom.rar download free
  5. They don't have any problem as far as I know. I'm about to test it on Windows 7 now.
  6. Well, before I updated to the latest beta driver, I had no problems over clocking my 880m. Now, since updating, I have nothing but problems over clocking. Here's just one of my problems. I restart my AW, instantly, I'm unable to over clock in any program. I have to start up Nvidia Control Panel to kick my vbios back in to action again. I'm in the middle of formatting to Windows 7, as I'm starting to think Windows 8.1 might be the issue. I'll post back with my findings. If it doesn't resolve my problem, that's it, I give up. I'm glad your 780m is functioning correctly matey.
  7. Excuse me, what? I've been told that the 780m runs nicely regardless of whether you're running stock or modified. Shame that the same can't be said about the 880m. I'm in the process of downgrading to Windows 7, in hope that this fixed my problems. At this point, I'm thinking it could be Windows 8.1 at fault. It's not exactly renowned for being a very good OS.
  8. Avoid the latest beta driver. It may kill Slv and John's vbios. It's crippled me left and right for the time being, along with a few other members here and over at NBR.
  9. I don't see how would work since I have an AW with just 1 pin for the live.
  10. Cant, I have UEFI. I'll lose all my partition and what not. It's windows 8/8.1 or nothing for me.
  11. If we can get someone on windows 7 to comment on the new driver. If those particular users still encounter the problem we face. I would say secure boot isn't causing the problem. Although, I would say without a shadow of a doubt, that Mr. Fox is indeed correct about the cancer that is "Secure Boot". At this point. I'm willing to try anything to bring my 880m back to life with Slv's and John's vbios. I don't care if I even have to try multiple vbios flashes and driver installs. I really don't care as long as I find a solution to my problem. Failing that, I'm done. I'll sell and get a 780m.
  12. I hope you find a solution matey, I really do. I place my bet on it being #2. I really doubt it costs Nvidia a lot to manufacture these GPU's.. So I doubt they even care about fulfilling warranty replacements/repairs. Bad business practice if you ask me. Ive already joined in have my thoughts. I'll add more as I go along. I'm still attempting to resolve my problem. Sick of wasting my time on little problems like these, just because Nvdia or Dell/Alienware feel that need to toy with things that are already fine.
  13. Personally, I wouldn't put much faith in the next mobile GPU from Nvidia. If this is the kind of practice they use these days, then I'm out. I've not spent over 3k to just get stuck with a throttled intel 4600HD. I will try anything at this point to resolve my problem.
