I have an Alienware M18xr2 with A11 unlocked Bios. My current drivers are 399.24 that will install Nvidia said the new driver is 537.13 but fail to install. Nvidia GeForce gtx 980m Properties PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028&REV_A1 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&CC_030000 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&CC_0300 I am looking for someone to help to change INF files to allow me to install new drivers or a good tutorial for me to do it myself. Thanks Richard

I need help, will this help to protect the EDID from being corrupt when installing win10 on a M18xr2. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/overriding-monitor-edids?fbclid=IwAR3EDOKduw3cH_mKn0gEwR2OVZHF39KylsYyKKVPeyrwAC5Ks5OwX16RpQ8 thanks

No post Power on, lights on fans on black screen no backlight Beeps x8 and repeats I have the M18R2A03WIN bios for the blind flash I also still have m18xr2-SwicksModv2 for the upgrade I have not tried to downgrade yet the 980m is in right now I do have a 280m that I can put in is place.

I have a M18X R2 running windows 7 with a11 unlocked bios with 980m. I have been running without an issue for over a year. I just installed EVGA precision Xoc to check fan speeds and temps and it was running fine until I restarted. Now I get 8 beeps at start up and can not get into bios. I found out that EVGA precision will affect a number of Alienware laptops, m17x r3, r4 m18x r1, r2, 17 r1, 18. I have read that it affects the bios, vbios, and display. I have removed the ssd and removed the installation for EVGA. I am in need of help to fix my new paperweight. Thanks

I did unlocked bios and have the 980m with modified drivers for the 980m works great Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I had 2 260 m Nvidia graphics cards go bad so I upgraded to 2 285 m Nvidia graphics card now I cannot get it to do SLI. I have changed out the cable to the one that came with the cards instead of the one that I was using with the 260. Any help will be appreciated Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Upgrade to the a11 unlocked bios Then install video card you will need modified Nvidia drivers I have a m18xr2 with m980 with win 7 love it Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I don't think you need the modified drivers for Windows 10 that's how my laptop originally was sent I got it used but I needed Windows 7 for my 3D printing scanning and art programs Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I have a single 980m. Your heat sink brackets and everything should work including your SLI cable. Are you going to be running Windows 7 or Windows 10. To run Windows 7 you will need the unlocked a 11 bios and modified NVIDIA drivers. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Already have the a 11 unlocked bios installed that way I could get my M 980 running Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I thought it was worth a try what's the m17x R2 was not made for 8 gig chips but it would work Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Has anybody tried to install 4 16 gig ram modules in the m18x R2 I am thinking about it hard core. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
