Hi Henrik,

I have not done it yet.

To do it would be better on what? I'm afraid of doing stupid I bought 32gb DDR3 in 1600 for my alienware MX18R2 and I will take a second 980M 8gb.

At this level I would be at the maximum capacity of the motherboard.

In the hope that it is good for a little while

Hi,

 

Thank you, i have receiving your mail.

 

when I update my BIOS, I'll keep you informed.

 

Thx

Hello Henrik,

 

This is my email : [email protected]

 

Thank a lot

Hello,

 

Hello,

You think I can install this bios now after going to UEFI? I am in A12.

The system is stable but the graphics card is down fps on furmark, the games I do not see any decline.

 

 

 

Another question that has nothing to do, I looked at the processor to see if I can change it or what to put.

 

You could know which one would go on my motherboard?

 

thank

Hi Henrik,

Yes, thanks for your help

By cons, what is it that I go back to the way of the previous bios?

I did a test on Furmark and it is true that the graphics card drops quickly from 80 FPS to 20/30 ... then I find that it heats a lot (70/80 degrees).

 

In fact, 5 minutes before you post your first message on my subject, I bought this bios:

 

What do you think of this bios?

 

Thanks again for your help, it's really not my area to play with the bios

Hello,

 

I have win !

 

Thx for your help !

 

Here's what I did:

 

- save all my info on an external hard drive
- remove the drivers from my old graphics card
- remove my 2 GTX 675m
- created a windows 10 bootable usb key in NTFS via the windows utility on the windows site.

 

So I boot on the bios I changed the mode to UEFI and disabling the "load legacy option rom".

 

- turn off the pc
- remove the battery and disconnect the mains

- add the gtx 980m

 

Turn on the pc. This one has boot on the usb key. And the little problem.

My SSD was not the right format. It had to be put in GPT format.

For that, during the installation of windows, at the moment where windows asks you on which partition / hard disk you want to install windows, it is necessary to make:

 

- SHIFT / top arrow / F10

Dos starts and you have to type:

Type "diskpart" and press <Enter>.
Type "list disk" and press <Enter>.
Type "select disk #" and press <Enter>.
(Replace the # with the actual number, for example: select disk 1)
Type "clean" and press <Enter>.
Type "Convert GPT" and press <Enter>.
Enter exit and press <Enter>.

 

Continue your windows installation.

Once finished, launch windows update. Windows update will download the correct drivers for your graphics card.

 

I'm happy to have succeeded !!

 

 

Let me know if my bios is good or not

 

Thx

Hello
I think I put the BIOS in UEFI but it does not change the 8 beep at startup.

I will try to make some pictures if it can help me

 

Thx

Hello,

Thank you for your answer !

I will try this immediately

Hello,

I bought a GTX 980m for my alienware MX18R2 which had a SLI of 2 GTX 675m.

So I updated my BIOS A12 version provided by Dell but when I install the GTX 980m, my pc beep 8 times at startup and nothing happens. I do not have access to bios. So I reinstall 1 GTX 675m to find a solution on a forum and here I am.

I understand that it is possible to flash the bios via a bios manufactured by a person who knows how to do it.

I come to ask you if it would be possible to give me a bios for mla motherboard so that the series 900 works.

Here are the info of my laptop:
