Update - dumped my current HD8970M vbios with GPUz [v0.7.8].
P.S. atiwinflash and sapphire TRIXX poops out the exact file too, I just renamed the file from "Thames".

I think enthusiasts should purchase nCards base on the community behind it... LOL
The dedications, the amount of efforts put into the research, discovery, and documentary. Niiice

Very interesting findings indeed, but do you think the amount of work justifies the result? XD
Personally, I would recommend including dust filters just in case.
Thanks for sharing~

Well, doing zero product testing seems to be the only way to sell in the recent years...
This is just sad.

All those icons look interesting at first, after a few times. It's just look plain useless and boring...
That's why I uninstall them upon the notebook arrives... LOL

My P157SM HW spec:
i7-4700MQ [w/o OC]
8192MB DDR3 [nothing fancy]
HD8970M [or R9-M290X as they call it now-a-days]
Firmware:
PremaMod Bios: 1.03.04PM v2 with EC 1.03.01 and ME ver 9.0.31.1487 [default settings without the logo... ]
Stock HD8970M firmware
OS:
Currently running Win8.1Pro x64, but the problem persists in Win7Ult x64.
Driver:
Tried every drivers under the sun for the HD8970M and I dare say all HD4600 drivers that can be found (including beta drivers too...), wiped with DDU between installations.
Symptoms:
Cold boot, the "GPU indicator lights up from boot and never switches off", HD8970M [Code:12 or 43] in device manager.
- "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. blablabla..." pop up.
- "ACP Kernel Service Driver service failed to start... A device attached to the system is not functioning." in Windows event viewer. (probably related to amdacpksd?)
Restart notebook after running it in that state for 5 to 7 minutes, everything works fine after that reboot, superb performance, just a little bit noisy after gaming for a while which is to be expected.
Proposed solution at the moment:
- "Dump the bios", flash it with someone else's [Enduro ver. then Non-Enduro ver. if that doesn't fix the problem] shall be working on it during the coming weekend [19th July, 2014]

I hope this is worth my trouble... LOL such pessimism,
[Epic fail] P157SM, HD8970M [R9-M290x] fails to launch every first boot.

Nothing works. I give up. Booting twice seems to be the only solution. FUCK!
