Hello everyone, i have been reading a lot about this topic but i cannot figure out what's my problem.
I have a m17x r3 with win7 and since my gpu did not work anymore i decided to upgrade it and got a 765M.
This is what i did:
- Since this link for the modded A12 bios in this forum is no longer working, i looked for the modded A12 bios on google and found the one on this post http://portables4gamers.com/forum/topic/18078-m17x-r3-bios-a012-bios-a012-unlocked/ so i downloaded the modded version (second link) and installed it
- Starting win7 in safe mode I uninstalled every audio driver and nvidia driver
- Reboot and F2 into BIOS, then Integrated sound card disabled -> disable the integrated graphics - Second Advanced Menu ->Video Configuration -> set display to PEG ->F10
- I then shut down the computer
- Removed the old card, put the new 765M (with thermal pads etc...)
- Started the PC and the monitor "lights up" but it stays blank, i see nothing, just the backlight on, but nothing more: pure black
- Since i could do nothing, I removed the CMOS battery, waited for 30 secs and then put it back in
- Turned the PC on again, now the screen turns on but it stucks on the screen with the alienware logo, the "loading bar" goes from 0 to 100% but I cannot access BIOS, not even boot in safe mode, nor anything else (i read somewhere that this seems like a BIOS problem, not recognizing the gpu...)
- If i put the old (non working) card instead of the 765M, i can then re-access the BIOS
I'm really lost, hope you can help me.
Thanks a lot!
