Ok, thanks again for your help. I'm an IT engineer with 15 years of experience so any PC related stuff will be ok but unfortunetly I'm not an electrician... I dont think the laptop is valuable enough to bring it to a repair service center, its probably going to cost too much without any warranty it will work ... I thought that since its booting and working fine on the integrated GPU that the mobo was not impacted by the burned discrete GPU. This doesnt seem to be the case since the new dGPU is not showing any signs of life... I'm currently in discussion with the seller of the 980M to see what are my options. Is there any way at low level (maybe some dos old program ?) to see if the motherboard sees the dGPU at all ? I suppose it should use some IRQ or "slot" and reserve it ?

This means that its probably a motherboard hardware issue ? I'm replacing the graphic card because previous one "burned" cause of high temp ... From my understanding and please correct me if i'm wrong, there is no hope to make this card work on my laptop ? Thanks again for all your help

Is it possible that its because the laptop bios is not unlocked and doesnt have the vendor ID ? MSI GT72S 6QE Dominator Pro G Model MS-1782 BIOS: E1782IMS.122 EC: 1782EMS1.106 Could an unlocked bios help with this issue ?

I did on both intel and discrete GPU but nvflash states that it doesnt detect nvdia card on the system. Its really like if the motherboard was not giving juice to the card. That why i was thinking that its maybe the BIOS of the motherboard that doesnt activate the hardware.

Hi ! Thanks for the quick reply :-). The thing is that the system doesn't seem to detect the card. How to flash it with blank screen ?

Hi,I have just upgraded my MSI GT72S 6QE laptop with a 980M 8Gb graphic card.When i switch on the discrete GPU through MSI SCM software via the hardware button, the laptop asks to reboot and at boot I have a complete black screen.Even the MSI logo doesnt show up. The OS is booting fine and i can log into windows (blindly or via RDP). The only way to get the screen on is to switch back to the integrated intel gpu. I tryied lots of different stuff found on the internet but I still got the same result. I believe that its a bios/vbios issue.Any help would greatly be apreciated.Thank you !
