Hi good people,
Can somebody PLEASE help me with my case?!
I have MSI GT70 notebook. It came with factory GTX 670M 3GB (which is dead now) and a friend of mine gave me DELL Alienware GTX 680M 2GB. The card is on working state, but it seems that something is not as it should be. The thing is, when I put the card in, sometimes the notebook recognizes it, but most of the time NOT and fails to work, and when it fails it won't recover again until I restart. Then when I restart, the notebook freezes and I should turn it off by unplugging it, wait for 10-15min. plug and power on again. Same thing again, again and again. Also, when I'm on GTX the notebook lags and works very slow, freezes, the screen flashes-recovers and so on. But when I pull of the GPU, my notebook works flawlessly (with Intel HD 4000). The very moment I put it back, the notebook starts lagging, crashing, rebooting by itself, etc etc.
The reason I am writing here is that I NEED HELP if somebody can tell me what should I do to make the card compatible and work with my MSI, knowing that it's Dell Alienware GPU (and I saw on forums that I can use this type of GPU on MSI notebook): Will flashing vBIOS help in my case?I found 3 vBIOS:DELL 2GB -> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/128059/dell-gtx680m-2048-120611MSI 2GB (unverified) -> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/154729/154729MSI 4GB (verified) -> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/131796/msi-gtx680m-4096-120604Wich one of these should I flash on to my Alienware 680M?
Will flashing vBIOS make the GPU compatible with MSI, and if YES, can someone PLEASE tell me and show me the procedures and steps of how should I do that flashing and what vBIOS files should I use.
Thank you in advance,
