I'm aware that this problem has come up before and is likely solved, but I am new to the forums so i need to post to have full access to these resources, so i figured i may as well start a new thread.

I'd still like to start fresh though.

The computer I plan on putting this into is a MS-1762

Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

i7-3630QM Quad-Core 2.4ghz

8GB DDR3 @ 1600mhz

Chipset: HM77 / Intel Ivy Bridge

 

My goal in this thread is to be prepared for when the card arrives. I have never flashed a VBIOS before so I will take all the help and advise I can get.
