Long story short, I have one M18xR1 and one M18xR2 and Radeon 6990m, Quadro K2100m, GTX 770m and FirePro m6100. On the M18xR1, only the 6990m works, perfectly. Other GPUs either show blank screen (no boot) or 8 beeps. I tried Mr Fox procedure [solution] M18x R2 Fails POST with 8 Beeps Switching Graphics Mode from IGFX to PEG - Alienware Forum - Alienware Club - Dell Community but it does not help. It only change from 8 beeps to blank screen. All GPUs work on the M18xR2. But the K2100m, 6990m and 770m make flicker screen for the first few minutes (around 5 to 10) and then the flicker goes away. The m6100 works perfectly, no flicker at all, but the fan does not spin. I use HWiNFO64 to control the fan. The R1 is on A05, The R2 is on R12 BIOS. Anyone have any idea about this. Please help me. Thanks

UPDATE I managed to make it work on the M18xR2 - Mod the AMD driver 13.352.1009 - Forced install (not using CIM) it on the M18xR2 but the fan does not work - Install HWiINFO64 to control the fan

Hi buddies, I am trying to install the FirePro M6100 into my M18xr1 and r2. The Firepro m6100 was taken from Dell Precision M6800 What happen is: - The M18xR1 powers up but shows black screen and does not boot at all - The M18xR2 boots to Windows 7 64bit but I could not install driver. Catalyst installer shows "Package install failure", I have tried both drivers from Dell and AMD. I also tried install intel HD first. Fn+F7 does not switch to IGP. Can anyone give me a direction to try. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I am trying to install the FirePro m6100 into the M18xR2. I could not install driver. It shows "install package failure". Do you think the modded BIOS will help.Thanks
