M17x R4 upgrade to gtx880m
Jonathansmith68 replied to Jonathansmith68's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
So, I did change to windows 10. Disabled legacy. Had the gtx880m detected with modified drivers. Then something updated and was never able to get the card detected again. I finally took the card out and put back in the 675. Havent messed with it since. But still willing when I get motivated again. Also when I first installed it, I get these red dots on the screen before any drivers were installed. -

I gave the a11 bios a shot but it's still the same. Switched to peg and everything loads up fine, just no picture. I then turned off legacy rom and it finally gave me a picture but it wouldn't load my OS. Tried to reinstall windows 7 but would not see my USB drive. -
Yes, I’m going to beat this dead horse again. My problem is after installing the card and modified drivers my computer sees the card, but when I fn+f7 to switch to dedicated card and reboots everything loads correctly, but the monitor goes blank. While it’s blank I can hit the fn+f7 key then enter. It will reboot back to integrated graphics and the monitor will come back on. I am sure that when I do switch to dedicated graphics while the monitor is blank, I can install a hdmi cable to external monitor and see everything. My Alienware is the 60hz 1080 monitor. I also have A10 unlocked bios installed.
