These are the lines of the nvdmi file I have modified, don't think they are correct as this happens, going a little further than before, and the screen flashes like it is installing something then it fails -

Thank you for this I have found a guide, but I am confused by many things, I gather this is my graphics card memory address PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_11A0&SUBSYS_04901028&REV_A1\4&361D66C5&0&0008 but I have no clue where to paste it? I will carry on reading, thanks for your help so far. -

I have just purchased an Nvidia Geforce 680m and I am trying to install this into my Alienware m17x R3. So far I have the machine working, but the driver is not installing, I have tried disabling the onboard sound card and the integrated video card and making sure the video card is set to PEG. I have removed all the old drives for the card I was using which was a 580m. I have also tried all the drivers on Eurocom's web site, but all I keep getting is an error after checking system Nvidia Installer cannot continue this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. I am running windows 10, any help would be gratefully appreciated. TIA I have also tried an old windows 7 nvdmi.inf. I have v12 unlocked bios installed -
