thank you very much for the quick response. is it worthwhile to upgrade to upgrade from f.44 to f.64 bios ? the newer bios have some fixes but i haven't seen confirmation whether the newer bios retains the broken whitelist for wlan.

Good day, recently i managed to take hold of a 2570p and would like to ask whether this mod would work with the newer bioses and whether the newer f.6x bioses have any restrictions compared to older bios revisions that may make them undesirable to upgrade to from bios f.44 which my notebook currently have.

if the pdf that i looked into is correct it would have atleast a mpcie slot so there atleast an adapter that may work with your pc however you may have to ask for someone to modify your uefi to remove any white/blacklist it may have and possibly other fixes as well. it looks like its the hardware acceleration is disabled probably due to quirks to optimus? try updating both igp ang dgpu drivers and see if it make things better sometimes works with games that recognizes the gpu as igp even when set to run using the dgpu

start here : and overvolted versions are here:

what is the wattage of the psu ? the heatsink will likely need replacement

it is most likely gpu fan failure and that would fix it

even at startup ? could you check that all three fans are spinning freely and would increase their speed at power on for a little while maybe one of them are on their way out or have damaged speed sensors maybe ?

does the gpu fans increase their rotational speed along with temperature ?

seems to be a power issue ....could we see your setup ?

I don't know if this works efi systems but on AWARD bios you basically find the stock vbios or module part on the bios then replace it with your desired file and some trimming here and there so that the modules are where they are supposed to. Be prepared with at least a replacement bios chip and a soldering iron as it is highly probable that the product will be unbootable.are you overclocking the 660m ? slv7 has already made an unlocked bios with an overclocked vbios included as well :

likely you have to use bios modding tools to insert the vbios failing that probably with hex editing software best left to seasoned bios modders instead as differing sizes and possibly starting addresses of the vbios and other modules even a different order of the modules is enough to cause the bios to be unbootable.

a skylake w110er with muxed gpu and ips screen bigger backlit keyboard, ability to use four displays with an analog port shared w a digital port ....if it were possible i would also wish for socketed cpu and gpu as well as 4 dimm slots 5 m.2 slots and better cooling.

a w110/w230 successor with smaller bezels preferably closer to the w110 size maybe a bit thicker if that would allow better headroom to cram in hardware. i thinks it has more to do with the flush glass bezels and making the lids thinner rather than making the bezels thinner.

a w110er successor with the following : ability to switch optimus to either igp to dgpu a bigger keyboard w/ backlight a 12 inch screen

someone correct me if im wrong but the gt780 like the gt680 will not work w/ kepler gpus due to the lack of optimus support .

Did it ever reached its rated speed with the current or with another os? Sounds like it doesnt have microcodes for the cpu thus booting with the lowest multiplier of the cpu.Dont know how it could happen w/ a m11 but something similar happens to a portege m100 after a bios update or sometimes service work would run at only 600mhz regardless of processor soldered to the board and will not budge w/ any software until you booted a service tool that will configure the pc to run at the right speed

What drivers are you using

wouldn't you run short on space with an O/D Bay with all the circuitry and cables?

Well if the price gap is big enough I'd say get the one with slower gpu and overclock it given that lifespan does not shorten as dramatically as in older generations.I'd still check for what resources will the prospective applications consume the most.i'd agree with clevo suggestion though it would probably be out of his budget if he had to import one and the risk of loss and the usual hiccups with customs. P.S it looks like your running out of ram not vram if killing processes helps you run solidworks

ahhh....and you couldnt make good useof the dgpu outside of windows

try reinstalling your drivers ??

you have to set the application to use the nvidia gpu using the nvidia control panel or by right clicking and using the run with graphics processor option

Optimus was introduced in the gt60/70 series ,you can't enable the integrated graphics on the older notebooks since the igp is not wired for use.Try reseating the card first and see if that helps (not likely) if not then you need to replace the video card.

I thought bootcamp automatically restarts the mac ? I wonder how well the hackintosh tricks apply to real macs ......read somewhere about someone who got a 7970m working on a p370em using an alternate personality and patching it to make the internal screen work (doubt if its needed though since output connectors is standard mac config but then no imac came with a 7xxx series card and how well the imac takes the uefi) then so its a safer bet with the NVidia I guess. P.S. read that non uefi cards would only work in the mac pro not on the imacs

yep it goes straight to windows (you can hear the windows start up sound and responds to input)(igp is not wired i think )
