No thoughts?

I had flashed both cards with svl7 880m vbios in dos. The card that I flashed back with its original is listed in Nvflash and works fine, the other card is listed as unconfigured. Both cards show up in device manager and other programs but the unconfigured one doesn't have all the sensor feed back and sli can't be enabled, but sli does try to enable. Nvidia inspector has both cards listed but the unconfigured one has no specs listed and can't be changed. Thanks for replying

Does no one have any ideas?

Hey guys, I have a m18xr2 with two 880m's. I had flashed a vbios from this site onto both card and lost all video. I managed to put the original vbios back on one of the cards using one of the original 675m's to get video. That card is working perfectly. Unfortunately the other card isn't listed in nvflash. nvflash has the working card listed with a note saying unconfigured display adapter found, device not accessible. Both cards are listed in the device manager with no issues, but the second card isn't working. I have spend a long time on google trying to get the second card to work but have failed. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Thanks in advance.

I need help. I have a m18x r2 with two gtx 880m. I flashed both card with a vbios and lost all video, I was able to put the original vbios back on one card easily but the second card I cannot. Nvflash just list one card with a note that the other is not accessible. Device manager lists both cards but the one with the new vbios has a yellow triangle and it says Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). Any suggestions?

got a new motherboard, integrated graphics works and i was able to reflash one of my gpu's but the other one nvflash can't find. Any suggestions?

I have looked up blind flashing but I don't think it will help as the odd time it dosn't shut down right away, going off memory of key strokes i'm fairly sure I get into nvflash even tho the screen is black and I enter nvflash -i0 -6 880m.rom, there is then two short beeps and I hit y twice. I don't remember the beeps when I flashed the bios before so it might be giving an error message. I have also gotten into windows, I can tell because my keboard lights change depending on temps, and the lights change as they should. So every so often it will boot but nothen ever on the screen. I also just tried putting in one of my old gpu's but it didn't change anything. No change with one card or two, and no change with none (integrated). Could a bad vbios flash afect the motherboard?

Any ideas anyone?

I just tried one of the vbios from here and now my computer won't post, I have the original vbios on a usb stick but can't use it as the comp won't post. If anyone can help that would be great. Been playing with it for several hours, the odd time it will boot into windows but the screen stays black. On one of the time it was going to boot I blindly put the original vbios back on both gpu's, at least I think I did, hard to tell with a black screen. Still won't boot most times and no screen, any thoughts would be great.

Hey guy, I'm having trouble getting my voltages back to stock. I have two gtx 675m's. I overvolted them from .87v to .92v and I think that's the cause of my computer crashes but when I put the stock vbios back on the clocks when to stock but the voltage didn't. Any suggestions?

Could someone answer garsard please

Everything I've tried has failed. Guess I'll be looking at replacing the cards. I would like to keep two cards, but can't afford them now so I was thinking about one GTX 880M for now and then getting another one later. As far as I can tell one 880m should be about the same performance wise as my two 675m's. Will the 880m work with my M18X R2, and would I need a better heatsink? At stock speeds the 675m would stay at 79 degrees wile running heaven benchmark. So if there are no more suggestions to get my cards running, never crashed on battery I suspect because the power state is limited on battery. I also noticed the voltage is still going to .92 v instead of .87 v even tho I put the stock vbios back on.

Does anyone has any ideas?

Just had two crashes that were different. The screen went black and then the computer beeped one beep per second. After the second time it failed to boot 5 times, finally got into the desktop and switched to integrated graphics. Now there is a lot in the event viewer. Event id 41 - The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Event id 4 - Driver detected an internal error in its data structures for . Event id 1001 - The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xfffffa801fcfc4e0, 0xfffff880057a5f38, 0xffffffffc000009a, 0x0000000000000004). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 030715-30076-01.

Any thoughts?

the event viewer this time logged a bug check, saying it rebooted from a bug check. What causes this?

Spoke too soon, was playing quake 1 and it crashed after about half an hour and rebooted. Any suggestions?

The driver finished downloading and I did a clean install. Ran Heaven Benchmark for 1 1/2 hours and no crashing, would only last about 5 sec before. so far the driver seems to have fixed the problem . Thanks for the help.

The only errors it logged was it had an unexpected shut down. It has two GTX 675m in sli.

Hey hans123, thanks for helping. Is event display the event viewer? If so I did not find any nvklm anything. I am currently downloading the latest driver and will do a clean install. I have limited bandwidth a day so it might be another day or two before it has finished downloading. Also so far it hasn't crashed on battery but the gpu's are limited to P8 on battery so that might be why.

Hey guys, for about the last month my computer has been freezing and then restarting when under load. the problem has been getting worse to the point that now internet explorer will make it restart. I suspect the GPU's are failing because taking the oc off the gpu's was the only thing that improved the issue but didn't fix it. Right now I'm running on integrated graphics and so far no issues. Any thoughts on this, I'm I right about it being the GPU's failing? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Guys, go to this thread. Has a link to a good program. http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m18x-aw-18/8733-alien-fx-question.html

Hey Guys, was searching the net and found this program. Seems to work very well for changing the lights with temps and a few other things. Enjoy! MiniApps

Can anyone fix the download link for x64?

Hey guys, I was playing with Alien FX and got thinking it would be awesome to have to lights change color depending on cpu/gpu temps. Maybe blue for cold, green for normal, yellow for warm, red for hot. I could find a way to do this. Is it possible to do this?

Hey Mr. Fox, you said there is no advantage to going from A08 to A10 unlocked on the m18x r2. I am on A03 unlocked. Would I notice anything going to A08?
