As IR1 stated, the gpu and cpu share a common bios. Follow sl7 tuts and it will work. If you have a sli configuration, flash the 2nd vga afterward using the proper bin, I had successfully flashed my gt750m5 card with a custom rom of the gt650m (thanks to sl7) and got them to work in SLI (using modified nvidia driver, thanks again to sl7) issues being nvidia updates.

Posting an update, I found it that the faulty part was the extra ssd (which is 15gb or so), removing it solved my problems.

Hi fellows, been a while. Today I inquiry about y500 from lenovo (gt650m). I curious about how the VGA (main gpu, not the ultrabay) worked, is it part of the bios itself ? Or i can flash it apart ? I want to restore it back to its original form. Lately the computer have problem on the reboot (causing BSOD and somehow no minidump/dump logs) , the error itself is quite confusing as i state : Driver failed to stop (I removed the auto-reboot on BSOD) , so I manually press the reset button to proceed. To my surprise , the computer enter some kind of loop where each time it BSOD but this time with : no_main_drive found, as if the hdd was removed. After a hard reset, it works almost normally. I noticed excessively long boot and shutdown time (same as reboot), was assuming the modified bios was faulty (now reverted to the original using insyde flash tool) which left me wondering if the gpu had not it's own bios (assumed it was shared). Thank you all, i will provide screenshots if needed.

EDIT : reason why it does no longer work is windows 8.1 update.

HI dont know if you guys recall me,svl7 helped me with my y500 (650m) to sli with a 750m (which worked perfectly) but at the time the forum had datalost and i cannot find the post reference to redo the process since i formated my pc. Im not able to re-enable the sli config i manged to setup with the instructions. A hand would be appreciated. Regards, benz.

Hi members, My question here is kinda stupid id assume. But how come the price gap between alienwares laptop and clevo laptops is so huge? I want to build an overkill gaming laptop and be able to change parts whenever I want. (Preferably slowly starting to build towards it from a base.) Regards, Benz.

So what do you recommand ? I indeed want a laptop that i can mod and put stuff in it myself. I just need a base. I have a lenovo y500 650M but I want to buy something else and start adding stuff to it.

Quick question , is 980m card official ? I dont see it on AW website. Thanks !
