  1. Nope, I just flashed the vBIOS from prema's site which I thought might be updated compared to the one that came with the card. The one with the card only allowed me to use drivers from 359 and below, but after flashing the vBIOS again I was able to update it to a 361 driver which worked.
  2. Yeah, I've tried downloading it directly from the eurcom site but the driver only supports Windows 7 and I 've got windows 10 so I get a compatibility error message. I've also tried running it in compatibility mode, but it still doesn't work.
  3. Hi sirana! Thanks for the tips. I did all of the above, but still nothing. CSGO is getting less than 50 FPS in the main menu and even less in game. I've been checking for any nVidia GPU activity but everything seems to be taken over by my intel HD 4000 integrated graphics. I noticed that after unintsalling the intel display driver, my 970M was finally showing some activity but I wasn't able to start a game to see if it was actually working due to crashing caused by insufficient specs I believe it was. MSI Afterburner is reading my nVidia GPU's temps, but there it is flatlining every other graph regarding GPU usage.
  4. Hi all, I've my GTX 970M working for a good while, but I decided to re-apply the thermal paste today because my card seemed to get a bit hot and my gaming would suffer from fps drops. I figured re-applying the thermal paste would work, but it didn't. I then uninstalled the drivers and tried reinstalling different drivers to see if they'd perform better, but for some reason my FPS is constantly below 60 FPS no matter what game it is. I've tried checking my settings in nVidia control panel, I tried flashing the vBios, I've changed countless settings to try and make it work but nothing is working. I also noticed that when I use Speed Fan, the GPU section doesn't consistently show my GPU temps. It stays at 0 Celsius for the most part, but then randomly reads 47 Celsius. Any ideas of what could be wrong or how to possibly fix this?

Any ideas of what could be wrong or how to possibly fix this? **EDIT** So I've noticed that the card just isn't working at all, which explains the low FPS. Although i'm not entirely sure why it's doing that. MSI Afterburner shows that it doesn't have any activity as well as the built-in nVidia GPU activity application I've got going on my task bar. In-game the icon isn't even colored, it's just black and white. I updated my bios with Prema's latest for my P150EM and I flashed my vBios, but still nothing. I've also tried installing 5 different drivers and they all yield the same results. Help would be much appreciated!!!!!
  6. Hi all, It didn't dawn on me until recently after I purchased a new external harddrive with USB 3.0 that the transfer/write speeds seem to be really slow for USB 3.0. It got me thinking so I checked the Eurocom website for my laptop model for the drivers and they don't have drivers for USB 3.0 eXtensible Host for windows 10. I went onto Intel to try and find it but I couldn't find the drivers for windows 10 either, only windows 7 and 8. Any idea what might be the issue here and how to get my speeds up to par?
  7. Don't use the latest drivers. I'm using 358.50 so hopefully that'll work for you too
  8. Sorry, I wish I could help you!
  9. Yeah, I've done exactly what that video I link shows, but when I type into command prompt screen it closes on its own. The person I bought the card from provided me with thermal pads so I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to, sorry.
  10. Okay, well it's good to hear that the buzzing is normal. I've tried running the ModMe.bat file but it just says that it can't open the 970vbios.rom file. I've also tried running the nvflash.exe file but it quits on its own and doesn't allow for any typing. I tried using this video as a guide, but all of the menus close on their own. NVIDIA Inspector says that my current bios is 84.04.22.00.EC [MODIFIED].
  11. Hi all, I just received and installed a new GTX 970M into my Clevo P150EM. It was a bit tricky at first but I finally got it to work by modding the .inf and installing the 358.50 driver from nVidia. However, I had a couple questions. The card is working but I can hear a buzzing sound when playing GTA V, The Witcher 3, etc... Also, when the game is fullscreen and I click anywhere within the game, the screen flickers and then minimizes. I've also been trying to figure out how to flash Prema's vBios for the 6gb 970M onto this card, but whenever I try to take the write protection off a menu pops up with a beep but then promptly disappears. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  12. I was actually looking online on eBay for cards similar to mine, but the ones that are going for around $400 dollars all have 2gb, whereas the 4gb version on rj-tech is going for upwards of $900. Is that just rj-tech blowing up the prices out of proportion or am I missing something here?
  13. Yeah, I was actually looking through rj-tech and thought they'd be the cheapest option. I was a bit confused because the P150EM wasn't listed under the models so I wasn't exactly sure whether or not it would be compatible. So this GPU from rj-tech would be the one to get for my laptop, correct? Apologies in advanced, I'm still new to all of this upgrading stuff!
  14. Thanks for the insight. I'm hoping to be able to sell my 680M for around that price so hopefully there is a pretty good market for this card. I'll probably just go ahead and purchase a thermal pad to put onto the 980M. I'm pretty new to customizing the internals of a computer, especially a laptop, so will I need to buy a thermal pad AND thermal paste to apply?
  15. Hi All! I'm pretty new to this forum, but I've been very interested in possibly buying a GTX 980M for my P150EM. I recently got this P150EM from a trade on craigslist and couldn't be happier (especially since I learned that I could upgrade the GPU). I'll just start off by asking the questions that I definitely want the answers to. I've looked on eBay and it's become painfully obvious that the GTX 980M is worth a pretty penny. I've got a GTX 680M in my laptop right now, so would I have a good chance of selling my GTX 680M on eBay or some other site where someone would buy it? (Unless someone here is interested in buying it The 980M's that I've seen for sale on eBay don't all come with the heatsinks, but just include the 980M itself. Would I need to find one that includes the heatsinks as well or would I be fine with using the same heatsinks I'm using right now for my 680M? If you guys have any other tips on what to look out for and how to get it working flawlessly it would be much appreciated!
  16. They're about 700-800 bucks now. Can't afford it right now but hopefully someday
  17. I haven't seen much of a difference, but my laptop is a powerhouse so battery life wasn't great to begin with anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about batter life though.
  18. Hmm, I'm actually thinking about flashing my card. Hopefully I won't run into the same problem.
  19. I was worried about it at first, but everything runs smoothly. No issues with compatibility or anything.
