Nope, it's working fine. While logged in, try refreshing the page.

Driver Signature Enforcement. Open command prompt in Administrator mode then type: "bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" (without quotes) -> Hit enter -> reboot -> Keep holding "F8" key -> Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" -> finally Install drivers.

Let the Comedy Begin!

Did you change BIOS sound card settings? those are required for the 780M only, not 680M. You will need to install IDT drivers.

@HaloTechnology Run Memtest then try clearing CMOS, This was after upgrading to RS1? if so try a clean install and use Win10 native AHCI drivers. @haXBOXpro, @Shiroe you need to clean install modded Creative drivers from HERE (latest full package), otherwise Recon3Di control panel won't work. Just disable DSE (F8) before and after installing drivers.

Yeah, I want the card not the laptop. Although MSI understood pretty quick the importance of GPU Upgradability, they're still lousy in the CPU department, incl their ultra-restrictive warranty policy. Greedy bastards, done with laptops.

Clevo 1080 MSI 1080 Cutting corners, besides the obvious Cubist adventure *Duchamp* Gone, gone, gone missing Inductors, Caps and MOSFETs...filling pockets. Hopefully MSI's 1080 won't include this wonderful EC feature. Lesson learned: don't trust Clevo with anything beyond 1K.

Yep, already obsolete P870DM-G flagship, hopefully MSI's 1080 will work fine, even if I need to hard mod it...just not to spend a single dime on Clevo anymore...
