Win 7 Pro 64, legacy. I concur about a hardware issue as the only change I made to the system was flashing@Swick1981's Bios. Well, it maybe UEFI with Legacy Option ROM.

I'll try that tomorrow evening. I tried to flash the vBIOS with NVFlash but it didn't find a compatible device. Getting late so I'll give it a go tomorrow. Thank you for your help.

I will indeed try the GPU vBIOS. Then@J95's drivers. Fingers crossed.

The problem started when I tried to install freetelly (Kodi) and got a GUI error. In device manger only the basic graphics device was listed (no GTX680), tried to open Nvidia Manger without luck. So I uninstalled the drivers. I tried to install the latest from NV, then dom's modded 602.2. No luck. Are referring to the swick vbios? I will reflash it if necessary. It seemed to flash fine. Thank you for your time.

Ran into a little problem. Flashed Bios Mod without issues but now my graphics card is not recognized. I uninstalled my NV drivers and now they will not install. Thanks

Here is a good find originally posted by skygunner27 at NBR: Quote: How come none of you told me about this audio visualization that comes standard with our M18x? It's sick!! It works way better than the Awesome method used for our old R2's.

I would like to know if anyone can suggest a good alternative to the VIZIO XWH200 Universal Wireless HD Kit? I ordered the internal Tx but did not get the XWH200 kit. So now i'm looking for an affordable alternative. Also, has anyone been able to use an external wireless TV to do basic functions, i.e. word processing, browsing the web, and gaming? Thanks in advance for the input.

2920XM + 6990Ms
you can guess what I want to see right?
Can you say benches. Ordered 7/18, EDD 7/29, Delayed, EDD 8/4
Never done any benching but need to stress my system to check GPU temps and stability, so I will be running some for sure. Actually started a thread to ask for advice without much response.

@rawhide85 you can check out my post over in the benchmark thread, you could see if your 2920XM is reaching the same speeds and scores.

Ordered 7/18 with a EDD of 7/29. As of today 6:00 EST still shows "In Production". I have called Dell EPP reps on 3 occasions, including yesterday, and they still expect a 7/29 ship N(BD). I still don't beleive it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

wow, thats great. Love the laptops specs! Duel 6990, woa! So so sweet! Your all set to own in battlefield 3 and mw3! Hope all goes well with it!
Thanks Jeffery. +1 rep for your response.

mw86- Thanks for the quick reply. I will check my 18 with a fine tooth comb to see if there are any build issues. Also, I want to check my temps on both CPU/GPU to ensure a good paste job as I hope to not have to repaste, the teardown sounds somewhat difficult. What is the best way to document the results so I can share them on here? Lastly, mw86, I posted a link to your mem install at NBR. +1 rep
