  1. No i think i'll take the hit on the card and stick with the 680M thanks for all your support in this hernik
  2. Hi Henrik, I got a reply from Eurocom and it looks like i caused the damage to the card when installing it. So I've just blown close to a grand for nothing This is the reply from Eurocom: Mark our technician has taken a look at your video card and has found that two corners of the die on the video card in question have been crushed. I have attached photos to this email. Damage like this is done when the video card is installed into the notebook and the heatsink is installed with either too much or uneven pressure. As both corners on the same side are damaged, I would guess the latter. When this happens the card will work for a short time and then will fail after it has been heated and cooled several times, causing the cracks to expand. This fits your case to a tee. As a result of this damage, the manufacturer will not replace the card under warranty. We have two ways we can proceed from here… We can send your video card off to the manufacturer and have them replace the die with a fully functioning die. This would take 2 weeks or so and assuming the card can be repaired will cost $175.00 plus shipping. The other option is we can return the damaged card back to you as is. Please be aware that before we ship any video card out, each card is fully inspected and tested to ensure they are in perfect working order. In this case the die was damaged when the installation was attempted.
  3. Hi Henrik, I have sent the card back as faulty but not heard anything back from them yet. I have the 680M installed at the moment and am very happy with that at the moment. i will see what i will do when the new card arrives back.
  4. Hi henrik, Yes they will but I have also managed to source a cheap 680M and have that installed currently.
  5. Hi Henrik, sorry for delay just got back from holidays. i've sent it back as faulty.
  6. thanks Henrik, I may hold you to that if I can't get it to work after my holidays
  7. hi Henrik, not tried it yet. Waiting also for a spare x-bracket to arrive seeing as there is a sheared screw in one of the holes on existing x-bracket on 780M. I am off on holiday next week for 3 weeks so most probably try it after I get back. I appreciate all the help you have given me Henrik. Seems as though you are the only one who is willing to help me out on this forum
  8. thanks Henrik, I will have to wait till my thermal paste arrives before i attempt anything else with it as I have used it all up swapping cards around I did notice my CPU running at 87 degrees so will re-paste that too when it arrives. I can't understand why it worked for about a day or 2 then after the BSOD can't recognize the card. That tells me that the CMOS was ok before the BSOD.
  9. The old GTX660M works fine so looks like 780M card is fried
  10. no i don't think I can coz it's a dell tied down BIOS so not able to do much with it
  11. I downgraded my BIOS to A12 from A13 and it recognized the card but didn't start it up coz there was a problem with the card. I then uninstalled the card and scan for hardware changes and it has gone back to not displaying in device manager. i will open it up again and see whats going on Edit Could it be the VBIOS on the card, how do i install VBIOS on the graphics card?
  12. it shows discrete graphics 1 not detected
  13. I think I've blown my GTX780M :'( i got a BSOD and now Device Manager doesn't recognize it anymore.
  14. Hi there, I'm trying to purchase this software from the download section but after clicking on the link 'Place order and Pay', it just goes to my Paypal summary page with no option to pay for it. If someone could please point me in the right direction to how to buy this software please.
