Enable IDT/BIOS after uninstalling nv drivers and boot normally.

i did this a couple of times.

the problem is, whenever i boot normally, i get a pink/orange/yellow random coloured screen.

this is the problem i think:

'BIOS enable IDT -> Install IDT drivers -> IDT control panel -> Advanced -> check enable power management'

i downloaded different idt drivers (different versions for m17xr3), but can't get the idt control panel to pop up.

therefore the question: anyone knows how to access the panel?

@Amir

BIOS settings [Guide] Alienware M17xR3 GTX 780M installation

Uninstall IDT drivers (Programs and Features) -> reboot -> F8 Safe mode -> uninstall Nvidia drivers DDU/third option

BIOS enable IDT -> Install IDT drivers -> IDT control panel

It seems i don't have the control panel in safe mode?

Do i have to enable IDT and access control panel in normal mode (swapping GPU)?

Uninstall drivers using DDU/third uninstall option (safe mode) -> Install IDT drivers first, next install nvidia drivers.

Uninstalled NVIDIA drivers with the third option.

Uninstalled IDT drivers.

EDIT:

it doesn't matter which IDT driver i install (the windows driver update or the AW resource disk),

whenever installation finishes i can't boot into normal mode without getting a screen with a random color.

Hi guys

I got a GTX 780m today and installed it in my m17x R3.

followed the steps and it's working, but with one issue:

i don't have sound anymore. (deactivated HD audio in bios)

when i activate it, i get a blank screen when booting in normal mode..
