UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows

A native UEFI installation would have the SSD formated to GPT (GUID partion table) prior to installation. Yes you would set the BIOS to "Win8" & UEFI enabled then install windows.

Windows requires to be installed in UEFI mode, we can not just switch to UEFI mode after installation. For that you have to set the "OS" to "Win8" and "UEFI" to "enbaled".

If you previously installed Windows in UEFI mode that will still work for you.

I can't get the system to boot in UEFI mode. I have Windows 8 installed on an NP9150. What settings should I have? With Sager's stock BIOS I could use UEFI mode with just having OS set to Windows and UEFI set to enabled. I could toggle Secure Boot on and off and the system would always still boot correctly in UEFI mode. Now, when I enable UEFI mode, the system will always boot and go to the BIOS screen. I can tell it my OS is Windows 8 or Other and boot in normal BIOS mode, but I can't get UEFI boot to work. I've tried all combination of Secure Boot settings and no luck. Any help please, someone?

Thanks Prema, these look great. I'm excited to try out the P150EM T1 version tomorrow and finally get the fan power back.

I was reading about an undervolted BIOS used on some Sager machines over at NBR. I don't see this at the front page though, so I'm wondering where I find the 680M 4GB undervolted BIOS?

P150EM here and just swapped from a 7970M to a 680M due to AMD Enduro issues.

The 680M is running so much better than the 7970M and I haven't even started with the OCing yet

Oh and also have a 3740QM running with XTU at 4.1GHz.

How did you use XTU on the P150EM. The BIOS is locked and doesn't allow it as far as I know. I have a 3720QM, but both should have partially unlocked multipliers yes? Are you using a custom BIOS or some other hack?

u can tray to use nvidia inspector, this program able to change all GPU profiles. Some mounthes ago, i played in Counter Strike Source without charging and also in grid 3 and new most whanted.

I don't know if that did anything. The Intel 4000 can play CSS pretty much maxed out (just turn down AA) at 1920x1080, but I don't know about Grid.

Haha yeah really, how does one change out the RAM on the video card.... I feel like that would be quite an intensive process.

how much do you guys think these cards will be in a year or two? cheaper due to new tech? or more expensive due to scarcity?

I have flash my clevo GTX580M in the past with a dell bios and it keep working ... but flashing could be tricky

Hope that:

1 it won't brick your card (but i think that if widezu69 done a flash in the other side it could be safe?)

2 Will make optimus working again on your laptop

Some news about my issue with saltius vbios (Remember: the card keep his idle clock of 324 mhz when launching 3d games or benchmark.)

It was my fault, I tried change thermal pad with some supposed more efficient (like i did with my GTX580M), at stock or 853 mhz clock there was no problem but when i tried saltius vbios, the GPU has kept his idle clock of 324Mhz in 3d application (I think that i have done something wrong with thermal pad) after replacement with original thermal pad, the card work like a charm with saltius vbios.

Edit 08/04 : Saltius bios and all Msi based bioses are unstable on my card.

wow how did you manage such high scores with a 580M? it takes insane overclocks and overvolts to get that kind of score on the modded vBIOS 680Ms

I still cannot download these files. I registered a long time ago and don't understand.
