Prema success!! Thank you so much for the .inf mod! I had to reinstall windows as I kept getting the stupid "driver failed to install" warning, but as soon as I did that everything worked out eventually!! I rebooted windows few times, played a couple of games, and it seems fine so far finally. I can't wait now for your next Premamod release for the BIOS. Really thanks!

Thats' what I thought..

I found out that this black issue on the new nvidia drivers its something almost everyone experienced recently: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/648176/geforce-drivers/monitor-display-blank-screen-issue-after-driver-update-updated-1-23-14-/30/ I was reading to try to deactivate the Intel HD4600 from the BIOS, would it be safe or I'll risk to have my monitor completely black without any GPU running?

Prema I have done it! It took me hours but I have done it... The problem was related to the nvidia drivers, my mod on the .inf file was fine, I had too many errors with "driver failed to install" and I couldn't install it no matter which version I tried. After spending few hours on internet reading different opinions and solution, I discovered mine. I had to reinstall windows from scratch and install the drivers manually from device manager, but with the signature enforcement disabled on the OS. I have yet still to test if I repaste the GPU correctly and what temperatures I will reach at full load. Here a screenshot of the card: UPDATE: Seems like I spoke too soon, I can't believe it... once I reboot windows I got again this black screen ( but I can see and move my mouse arrow, its weird), not sure if its a driver issue, but at least now seem like I can install the drivers again (same method above) with no errors except this black screen issue. Should I flash a new vBIOS? Where I can find the correct one for my card? I have no ideas anymore..

Thanks, I'll do it after work!

Sorry I am totally new regarding the vBIOS thing. Where I can check the version? I've also tried to download the drivers from laptopvideotogo.com after checked my vendor ID on device manager, but they wouldn't install either.

Hi prema, I have installed the 970M on my P170SM, but nvidia drivers keep telling me that the hardware is not compatible. What that could be? I think I am on the latest Premamod as you can see from this screenshot: UPDATE: I just modded the .inf file manually and it worked! I could install the drivers! Now I have another serious issue, the BIOS says VGA: unknown, and when windows 8 boot up I have a black screen. Any help?

we are two here. Waiting for the same card today! Let us know for some feedback. :) - - - Updated - - - I have heard someone says that a few people bricked their laptop by modifing the voltage directly from the BIOS. Instead he would recommend the Intel XTU software for any mod, what do you think about it? - - - Updated - - - Done! Thanks for your hard work!

Prema, just a quick question, if I undervolt my P170SM CPU (4700MQ), with your latest BIOS mod would the setting stick each reboot?

Fantastic!! So the upgrade mentioned in the link is the correct, right? Thank you so much Prema. [emoji16]

Prema Sorry, just a quick question, does this upgrade will be fine for my Clevo model P170SM? I meant, is it the correct model to buy? Just wanted to make sure before spend so much money... Clevo P1xSMA/P37xSMA; VGA Upgrade Kit; NVIDIA GTX 970M; 6GB DDR5; MXM 3.0b; 75W | eBay Can't wait to try it with your BIOS!!! Also, does the latest P170SM mod work already? Thank you so much for your work!

yess!!!!

I did it!! AMAZING!! I'll need time to learn all the options... Thanks for your work!

It happened to me as well, what I did was to update with the latest stable or beta release drivers for your GPU. If thats not working you can reinstall your current GPU drivers. Just use "driver unistaller" tool in safe mode to erase everything: Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 12.9.9.0

I guess another upgrade is coming with Broadwell included...

Thsnk you so much, I was impatient for your reply.

Thank you Paultje. But I have a P170SM, not sure If the P177SM is the same. Anyway thanks again, I'll wait for the master answer.

HI all! I am new to this forum and to the wonderful world of modded BIOS Thank you so much prema for this awesome work! A quick question, this is a screenshot of my stock BIOS: Can I flash your mod? I really wouldn't like to break my laptop, I just wanted to make sure.
