Thank you! But do you think it would be safer/better if I get back to Windows 7? I want it to run smooth, and plan on getting a second 980m too, Swick1981 mentioned a guy named woodstackz that sells them, is he from this forum? Also, will I need a modded driver for the 980m or can i just download the latest from nvidia?

I think yes, this bios is not for free.

Would this Bios work on Windows 10?

Isn't it the Swick1981 Bios that you're talking about? Also, would it work on Windows 10?

Will this Bios work in Windows 10?

Can I boot in Legacy mode as well on w10?

I just donated U$6,00 and still cant download.

Oh, after the donation I need to purchase a membership then.

Thank you for clarifying, but it wont let me download it yet, should I make a donation first?

Hello everyone, I've been lurking for some time around this forum, it always helped me with my m18x, but now since both of my 680m gpus fried, I purchased a 980m and tried to install it just to get the famous 8 beeps. I know I need to flash a Bios to get it to work, but I'm really a noob on those things, I rarely touched Bios stuff before, so I got a little scared of the amout of stuff I need to do just to get this GPU to work.

I know there's 2 versions of this Bios here, I dont know which one to get, the svl7 one or the Swick1981 one, but I can't download them with this account yet anyway, even if I donate to the creator. 

If possible, I would appreciate some directions, tutorials, whatever. My M18x R2 configs are below.

Windows 10.0.19041

x64

Intel i7-3920XM CPU @ 2.90GHz, 2101 MHz Overclocked to 4.10 GHz

Bios Alienware A12, 13/09/2013

SM Bios ver 2.7

1.01

Legacy Mode

16GB Ram

Thanks in advance!

I would like to be able to download the Bios too, also donate. I would like to know how to proceed.

Also, should I download the Swick1981 version or the svl7 version.

My bios is A12, M18x R2, originally 2 680m in SLI, would like to upgrade to a single 980m.

Didn't Nvidia added support for 980m on m18x? I remember reading it somewhere around here, now I'm worried about the drivers, because I'm about to install a 980m on my m18x r2 and i really need it to work properly.

Hello everyone, I found the forum a long while ago but never made an account, theres a lot of great people here who helped me a lot with their threads and advices, I have a M18x R2 Alienware, its old, but I love this rig and I'm trying to upgrate it as much as I can.
