No problem, if he included full IDs then the mod is the same as this http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware/8113-going-test-clevo-980m-alienware-m17x-r4-m18x-r2-aw17-89.html#post117687

@Jackyyy you probably need to install AW OSD too http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER01771210M/1/Application_N9PMP_WN_0.32.0.8C_A00.EXE

Hi,my dear @J95! I installed driver then FN+F7 but the Microsoft default single card left.Then i reinstalled driver,the 980m worked.

I don't know why,but it worked! I will do more tests tomorrow.

thank you for your advise!

Primary disk GUID Partition Table/GPT?

Search -> diskpart -> list disk.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13662[/ATTACH]

BIOS -> boot options -> UEFI selected, you must disable "Legacy" "Fast Boot" & "Secure Boot"

'Driver signing' disabled?

maybe I should remove the card before install win8.1?

I'm working on this...nvflash v5.142 has full UEFI support. With release v5.551 Nvidia introduced many changes and up to v5.163 (880M supported) full UEFI still works, past this v5.164 they included OEM support, so full UEFI only for certain configurations, from now on only modified versions with certificate checks bypassed.

I've included all IDs but still couldn't figure out the board ID.

Since you can recover from a bad flash, you could try this. -> @Mr. Fox only! <-

First nvflash 5.163 then 5.142, stock versions. cmd (Admin)

nvflash.exe -5 -6 --override=3 xxx.rom

Depending on the EEPROM support, this could work too.

nvlfash.exe --protectoff
nvflash.exe -5 -6 --override=3 xxx.rom

I haven't received the card (yet)...-> customs <- Of all the countries I've lived...never seen such a mess (not true...2). Bureaucracy in all its splendor, corrupt, inefficient, filled with "chief of" -> 'chief' yet again 'chief' and little workers doing the actual job...unions...:D...:D...:D



You need to disable driver signing, install using v(1) INFs (each driver) -> [URL]http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware/8113-going-test-clevo-980m-alienware-m17x-r4-m18x-r2-aw17-98.html#post118582[/URL] Windows 8.1

• Run DDU/Safe mode -> Clean and Restart (uncheck Intel HD Drivers)
• F8 Boot options. 'Safe Mode' & 'Disable driver Signing' cmd (Admin)

  bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

  -> reboot -> F8 -> select 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' -> Install drivers.
• Extract driver w/ 7-Zip/winrar
• Extracted driver folder "34x.xx-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql" -> copy NVWMI folder.
• Display.Driver folder -> copy/overwrite nvcv.inf(NV drivers v344.91) or nvcvi.inf (NV drivers v347.09, v344.80, v344.75) nvcvui.inf/v347.12.
• Extracted driver folder -> run setup.exe
• -> reboot -> disable Optimus <-

@J95。I tried to install the driver as your list. The GPUZ can show the 980M but the 3DMARK11 can not work with it. And when I press FN+F7,the 980M shielded again:( im crazy now!

thks for your share! @J95.I installed the driver and reboot.then FN+F7,but the 980M was shielded,i dont know why:(

i checked the hardware ID，the driver was not be installed on the 980m but on the hd4000.

what can i do next?

if your card is not DELL's card ,you need to revise the mod inf first to install the driver:)

i have used the Clevo 980m two weeks with Optimus BUT now I want turn off Optimus with FN+F7 and start only with dedicated GPU.

I reinstalled windows from usb to SSD and changed bios setting to UEFI Boot but i'm not sure which mod inf i can use now:(

my Config:

Alienware M17X R4

i7 3940xm

GTX 980M(680M before)

16 GB DDR3-1600

120GB OCZ

500 GB HDD

240 Watt PSU

Windows 8.1(now)

How about GTX660M, do I need to buy new charger and replace something else if I want to upgrade it to GTX680M?

240W Power Adapter and ICD7

Hi @J95.Can you do me a favor? Could you give me a clevo980m mod inf for driver v347.09 to M17X R4?

the hardware ID is:PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05511028&REV_A1

thk u!!!
