So far all I can get to work is 347.25 drivers with my m18x r2 with 980m installed. No matter how many drivers I mod I get code 43 and this message in events \VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028&REV_A1\4&1d1dea7a&0&0008 requires further installation. What do I need to do, any help would be greatly appreciated.

can I switch to legacy and flash this with 980m already installed or will it give me the 8 beeps and not let me flash?

You cannot boot 980M in Legacy and blind flash sets defaults, which is Legacy. You are going to have to remove the 980M cards any time you do the blind flash, set UEFI without Legacy and put them back in, but A03 does not support UEFI, so you will need to upgrade to at least A08 unlocked before you can reinstall them.

You may need need to blind flash again. Just pull the GPUs, flash A08, A09 or A10 unlocked and set it up for UEFI boot.

Thanks for response, I was afraid of that.

I blind flashed A03 and now all I get is 8 beeps. I have 980 sli and it wont let me switch to discrete graphics. Tried resetting cmos still no go. When I start it up it goes to the disk config page and I can get into the crtl-i menu but not the main setup by pressing f2 what am I doing wrong? Does it only beep until it restarts itself or am I suppose to wait for the beeping after the restart as well?

I don't get it, the whole reason to buy an alienware was for upgradability and sli and now they kill both. I will hold on to my M18x r2 and AW18 until I can no longer upgrade them and then I buy from another manufacturer.

I ran gpu-z and it identifies my 860m as the gk104 version so I guess I can use the oc vbios version?

Are there noticeable gains?

Did they ever come out with a bios that would work on 3630qm?

Can I use the 780oc bios for my AW 18 780s?

Is this Bios safe on all 7720 models?
