Ok so I took everything apart. That's the easy bit I guess. Now to put the slave gpu into the master slot and repaste. But what should I do with the second heats ink if I'm not going to insert the second gpu anymore. Should I leave it in? And another question is can I use wet wipes to clean the old paste because I don't have any of that special alcohol

Thanks for the reply. I now know for sure it's the gpu because I can input the password even if I can't see the screen and after hitting enter the WiFi e Led turns on. But I've never taken it apart. It would mean I have to repaste as well...

Hello. My crossfire 7970m clevo p370em boots to a black screen. Sometimes I get a blue one with lines or just random corrupted pixels. This points me to belive the gpu has died especially since the hot keys for keyboard lighting work. When it was last working, crossfire was disabled so I am thinking that the second gpu is still working but I don't know how to switch to that one. Is there a cable I can unplug inside the laptop? I am not good with hardware meddling.. Also,if I can't even see the bios is it possible that the motherboard is the problem? Please help, any info is great. Thank you

Hello all I have some noob general questions before I go ahead with my first ever bios update. Please if any of you can help me with these: 1. Do you have to leave the battery attached as well, not only the PSU? 2. If so, then when it says "disconnect the PSU for 30 seconds" at the end of the process, do you also have to take the battery out and then put it back in? 3. What mode do you have to select in Rufus when creating the bootable stick? MS-Dos or FreeDos? 4. I disabled Intel Anti Theft technology but I don't know how to disable UEFI. I am inclined to think that my motherboard doesn't support it or something. Is that a mandatory step? to disable it I mean 5. Does it matter if you use an USB 2.0 or 3.0 port when you boot from the flash drive? I appreciate any responses before I build up the courage to go ahead with the update I know, I know, I'm a pu$$*
