you need to start reading through the forums.....at the very least, the first and last few pages http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/4668-lenovo-y410p-y510p-unlocked-bios-wlan-whitelist-mod-vbios-mod-132.html#post108176

try this : disable fastboot (i dont know whether this is actually necessary) disable secure boot in bios boot into bios and in bios settings (one of the tabs), change the bios boot option from UEFI to legacy then in boot priority, select legacy ( even if it does not list your USB) save and exit I faced this 'USB not visible in boot menu' issue when i was flashing the bios. Switching to legacy solved my problem

I dont know what exactly you are doing.... but the steps i followed were : 1. copy everything in the fptw folder to C:/ 2. run cmd as admin 3. type"cd/" and enter 4. type "backup.bat" and enter Hope this helps On another note, one thing I noticed... while flashing the EC file, at 50% progress, my laptop rebooted automatically. I hope thats how it was supposed to happen. For now I am leaving the deault settings in the modded BIOS. If there are any GPU related tips (which are risk free ), please do share. Thanks

u have the SLI model ? Mine is non SLI and I have never faced a crash to date. Using it for 10 months now

I used to face this "Display driver has stopped working" error earlier. However, recently it doesnt come up any more. I think upgrading the drivers solves the issue since all my stuff is up to date. Either the video driver, or one of windows updates.

there is this video on youtube which compares the 2 laptops : y510p and y50......y50 pretty much dominates against the y510p (alteast the indian variant). I kind of wish the y510p also had a 4GB GPU option back when it released

With a single 755m GPU, the cpu temps are usually around 70-75 C during heavy gaming. Sometimes they touch 80 and during turbo may go upto 82. I downloaded IdeaFan today and hopefully with the improved temperatures, turbo will be active longer

Hey...I have a y510p ( i7 and single 755M gpu) i updated my BIOS recently (today actually) to v3.05 directly from v2.04. I noticed my average idle cpu and gpu temps are up by 5-8 deg C. Is the latest BIOS the best version available ? Secondly, does the modded BIOS help improve gpu speeds (without any tinkering around ie. on default settings ) ? I do not plan to change my wireless card. So I was wondering whether its worth going down that route. Thanks
