Hi all,

first excuse my bad english pls :x

I bought a new Computer with a gtx 1080 in, a Manli gtx 1080 Twin Cooler.

When I play games and the graphicscard need to work, the 2 fans start to speed up around 3k rpm and then fall of to the normal speed, it last for like 1second, sounds like a tubirne -.-' the temperaturs are below 70°C when this happens

When I'am on the desktop or browsing in the internet, everything is fine.

I've read in the nvidia forum, it should've been fixed with a driver update, i got the newest one, the driver version 375.65 , the problem is still there.

I used the DDU to clean install the newest driver, the problem is also still there but seems to appear a bit less then before.

is there maybe a bios which can fix this issue for me or maybe other solutions?

ok, thank u for your help, very appreciated!

Hi,

I recently downgraded my Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 and want to know: Do I need to flash the modded vbios again? I deleted erverything, a complete formatting of my computer!

Greetings

Why is your score with single gtx880m so much higher then mine?

I've also the modded vbios from svl, is this because I only got 8GB Ram and I7 4710MQ ?

Maybe the Intel GFX slows my Graphiccard down?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4712MQ,Alienware 04WT2G

flashed the modded vbios and got this score:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4712MQ,Alienware 04WT2G

seems a bit low on stock or its just normal?

Do I need to reinstall the nvidia driver after I flashed my gtx 880m vbios?

Any bios will work, only real difference in A13 is an ACPI entry for Win8.

hey,

thank you for your answer svl, but I don't know what this ACPI entry is

Do I need this stuff? I only use my Laptop for gaming and rarely for some office work.

hi,

I'll get my Mainboard replaced soon by Dell because of Win 8 and the key blablabla^^ I'll update the "normal" W8 to 8.1 and my question now is, can I still use the unlocked A11 Bios from svl?

Because for W8.1 there is only the A13 Stock Bios on the dell driver-download page, no A11 or can I just run the A11 from the Win7?

hi,

I'll get my Mainboard replaced soon by Dell because of Win 8 blablabla^^ My question is, will be my modded gtx 680m vbios effected by this change and do I need to flash it again or does nothing happens?

grettings

hi,

I want to switch from the unlocked A11 Bios back to the stock A11 from Dell, can I easily direct flash it or do I need some extra tools?

Uninstall your Nvidia drivers (and if you want the Intel HD as well), reboot, change your bios settings and install the Nvidia driver.

it worked, Now I only got the nvidia graphic card in my device manager and I can start programs

thank you very much svl7!!!

Post a screenshot of your device manager.

here are the screenshots:

before bios setting change:

after change:

there are no nvidia or intel gpu, at least an standard vga adapter. there must be an option that I need to enable I think or something else

EDIT:

If I rightclick on the Videocontroller(VGA kompatibel) and update driver software, it wont work, no driver software found.

It's not possible that you disabled the IGP and the PEG, else you would have no picture on the screen at all.

You need to set the primary display to PEG (in the video configuration of the advanced menu) and set internal graphic device to disabled (in the internal graphic device menu, which is in the video config menu as well).

If I remember correctly there's an option that says "always enable PEG", enable that one as well.

Thank your for your answer but it dont work, these are my bios settings:

My Computer starts and there are in the device manager no nvidia graphic and no intel graphic card, if I rightclick on desktop there is no nvida control panel and the computer tells me there is no nvidia graphic card in my system. Something went wrong, there must be another option that I need to enable to only use my nvidia. Pls help me

This is something I also wonder, as far as I know, boards with BIOS A10 or newer won't downgrade to an older BIOS, not 100% sure though.

There is nothing more you need to do after disabling the Intel Graphics, your system will automatically choose the GTX680M so no driver worries or anything like that.

I downgraded my A12 to A11 and flashed the unlocked A11 with Method 2, I disabled my Intel graphics but it also disabled my gtx680m, my pc start with an other vga adapter. My system tell me I got no nvidia graphic card, there are also no graphic cards in the Device Manager.

Now I've done a huge mistake, i forgot to change Display mode from SG to PEG, instead of I changed it to PCI and now my computer deosen't start and 8 anoying beeps appear. The Trick with the remove of the AC, hold 30secs the powerbutton and then put ac back in and start with FN+Power wont work. Would be nice if someone can help me

-problem solved-

Next problem: windows tells me i got no nvidia graphic card, what can I do to get back my nvidia only without the intel?

I successfully flashed from A11Dell bios to A11unlocked ty svl7

hi,

I'm currently on the official A12 Dell Bios and want to use the A11 unlocked version to disable my Intel graphic card and only use my gtx680m. Now my question is, can I use Method 2 and directly flash the unlocked A11 bios?

Is there something to attend If i disable my Intel Graphic card?

I've downgrade my bios to A08 right before I tryed the usb recovery method

yep I followed the guide step by step, download the bios, renamed the file, put this file(only the rennamed) on a empty fat32 formated usb stick. removed the akku and power adapter, put the stick in the eSata slot, press the end button(and hold it) and put in the power adapter. My laptop start... little time a black display but its doing something->restart(automatic).... some beep sound--->restart(automatic) with alienware logo and normal windows boot process. After this, nothing was changed!

Yea I used the original Dell A05 Bios

I've tryed it 2 times with the usb recovery, it beeps and restart like in the Description of the Guide but it dont work for me! :/

I think i can't use the unlocked A10 Bios

Does it mean I can change my RAM Clock to 1866MHz without any Issiues?(I got 8Gig of standard Intel RAM in my M17xR4)

In the M17xR4 Unlocked Bios Thread, svl7 posted a little "guide" how to disable your integrated Graphiccard. I'll try it and post my result here soon!

Ok thank you, I'll try it but I need 2 more Posts to use your downloadlink :/

Edit: I tryed to install the unlocked A10 Bios but When it restart, I always get the error that "this firmware isn't valid press any key to reset"

If I press any key, the old Bios loads and Windows start normaly, what I'm doing wrong?

At the moment I use the original Dell A10 Bios

hey svl7,

I also want to use your unlocked A10 Bios but I'm a bit scared At the moment im running the orginal Dell A10 bios but I want to use your unlocked Version to disable the integrated Graphic so that I can only run my Nvidia gtx 680m.

I've read that someone in this Thrad does the same and his Laptop wont start anymore and a lot of beep sound comes out of it.
