Sounds like what happened to me with my 1st 980m....

Well to make sure the issue is only with the GPU, you could try the following:

 

1- Run DDU in safe mode and select the option to Shutdown (install new GPU)

2- Replace the 980m with your previous GPU if you still have it. If not, then just unseat, clean the port and reinstall the 980m.

3- Boot with DSE disabled and install the last driver that worked for you (100%) to avoid the chance of the driver being the issue.

4- If it still doesn't work, then you've got a dead GPU... Can you try checking the GPU info from HWInfo? GPUz in my case hanged but you could try checking it as well. In my case it was the vRam that had fried for some reason.

5- One LAST Thing you could try is to do a clean install of Windows... I have reasons to belive that DDU isn't perfect and that there are files not being deleted even in safe mode.

Good luck!

i will give it another try. for now im using my old 680m i don't know how i would fry my vrams im not over clocking it and im running nvidia inspector set to temp limit at 65C so it downclocks when ever it reaches that temp.

thanks for the reply.

hi guys

got a bit of a serious problem here so any help is much appreciated.

while i was browsing the internet my screen suddenly turned black, so i restarted my laptop then for some reason it used the onboard gpu of my mother board.

i restarted again and it didn't change anything.

so what i did was i run DDU and clean un-install the gpu then re-install the gpu driver again.

but its not letting me re-install the gpu driver for some reason it keeps on showing me this.

the screen was showing some flickering too unfortunately i wasn't able to include it on the screen shot.

i was using the 353.00 PEG mode with prema's bios CLEVO_8GB_GTX980M_OC_PM_v1.1.1 for months now ever since i bought the gpu and this is the 1st time i had encountered this problem.

any help/ response are greatly appreciated especially right now that im lost and don't what to do.

Thanks.

System

M17xR4 120 hz pannel using Nvidia GTX980m 8gb non optimus

anyway or any instructions on how to flash this on UEFI mode?

been searching the forums and google for answers but no luck..

as of now im using premas vbios for 980m which is easy to install by just clicking it and its working great but i still experience a bit of shut down or trotting 

i want to give this a try since i saw a forum post that this mod offers more stability for longer period use especially for gaming. thanks

-edit-

also when i tried dragging the vbios on the mnvflash.exe its gave me the "simplified version for OEM only"

when i did this with gpu disabled as instructed it gave me an error that was too fast i coudnt even read it lol

@angel_ennix ASIC quality 64.6% = 1.075V, temps are high due to poor contact between heatsink and GPU die, including thermal pad placement.

got it finished with the positioning of thermal pads, i used copper pads to because for some reason my thermal pads on the black chips isnt touching the heat sink...

temp was reduced from 75C to 67C still high but atleast its not that high...

what is the highest temp a 980m can handle btw im curious..

thanks for your help and hard work

@J95

I was just reading the exchange of posts between you and @angel_ennix and took a look at my own GPUZ info. There is something peculiar which I hope you can explain to me. Here are a few screenshots I took:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16762[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16763[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16764[/ATTACH]

ASIC is decent I guess and I am using Prema's vbios 1.1.1. I didn't overclock my GPU at all currently but isn't the voltage very low? 0.85v?

Thx a lot!

EDIT: Nevermind... NVInspector shows a voltage of 1.062V which I guess is the stock voltage for the GPU. I wasn't aware voltage varied depending if the GPU is under load or not.

yah it depends on where your testing it.

on my gpuZ stats i was testing it on FFXIV everything at max on a DX11 Client so the stress on the card is super heavy lol...

That's normal...ASIC, don't mess w/ voltages.

Run GPU-Z v0-8-6 post ASIC readings

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16760[/ATTACH]

ohhh ok but its pretty abnormal for me cause the temp sky rockets @ 75C is that normal too?

thanks for the reply usually it freezes when it reach 75c + temps thats what im worried about.

and my ASIC score isnt that high either..

Currently I can't test this mod...980M undergoing steroids treatment...

Follow instructions to the letter to avoid throttling (nv_dispi.inf / single GPU) GeForce 353.00 PEG MOD Win7/8.1

thank u im currently trying the fix now..

notice tho for some reason my gpu automatically goes to 1.075V! which is too high i already tried lowering it using nvidia inspector but for some reason it goes back ....

Win8.1?Win10? I assume you're using dedicated graphics, not Optimus? (120Hz screen)

win 8.1 and yes sir non optimus

thanks for asking i forgot to put that on my post

-------edited-----

ill try older nvdia drivers too to check just to be sure

dont wanna risk on frying my 980m

Hi guys just wondering if someone would mod a Nvidia driver for me if thats ok.

im using gtx980m currently using driver 353.12 which is a bit buggy for ff14 causes it to randomly freeze

i need something higher than what i have or prolly the latest one

my hardware ID is : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_057B1028&REV_A1

thank you to someone who will do it

Hi guys need help ASAP.

keep having problems with installation of 980m on my M17xR4, i got the unlocked A11 Bios and already have this following settings

UEFI enable + legacy boot Disable + fast boot Disabled + security boot Disabled.

i also got the GPU on PEG mode and i already tried enabling and disabling the integrated graphics.

so far the results arent pleasing the laptop keep on using the on board GPU, i already tried putting my 680m and installed M17xR4_05511028_9xxM_358.50 then swapped back to my GTX980m but still

no success. i dont know what to do anymore or what im doing wrong.

my m17xR4 are using the following: Windows 8.1 in full UEFI +unlocked A11 bios + 120 HZ 3d monitor non optimus.

any response or answers will be helpful please thank you.

how come i cant install the a10 bios on my m17xr4 keeps on telling me invalid frimware..

Edited--

i tried doing blind flashing keeps telling me error 28 protected range users

any tips how to by pass this?

i need the unlocked bios badly to install GTX980m on my m17xr4

thanks

2nd Edit--

weeew noob mistake guys i forgot to run prr2 before flashing.

A11 works fine now thanks

guys i need help badly and really fast.

so i insert the card and it game me 8 beeps so i restarted it and the display works, but when i went to my device manager i saw my m17xr4 was using the microsoft gpu instead of the gtx980m

im using a 120hz monitor with win8.1 installed as a UEFI mode GPT partition with legacy boot off + windows 8 speed start up off + secure boot off.

and when i look at the bios it said that display:Nvidia GFX

fast response is very much appreciated thanks guys

--------Edited------

tried with moded bios running the gpu on PEG mode

and i installed the drivers M17xR4_05511028_9xxM_358.50 while on my gtx680 then swapped back to gtx980m still the laptop uses the inboard gpu..

damn its driving me nuts

--edit--

got it fix thanks to those who help

@angel_ennix read this *** Windows 10 + NVIDIA WHQL Drivers are Killing Alienware and Clevo LCD Panels *** | NotebookReview

hmm informative link thanks

guys need help

for some reason when i run my bions in UEFI mode with legacy boot disabled my main laptop monitor end up being not recognize for some odd reason,

which requires me to use my external monitor i dont know how to fix this im using GTX680m by the way.

if i unplug my external monitor while on UEFI mode the laptop gives me 8 beeps.

hi guys so im planning on buying a Acer GN246HL as my external monitor so how do i set this up to run @144 HZ

the display port available for this monitor are only DVI, VGA and HDMI and my m17xr4 has a mini DP.

so would a DVI to mini DP converter work to reach 144hz or do i need a Dual link converter?

answers are appreciated thanks.

Edited~

Im gonna be using GTX980m which is on the way.

i'm a bit late but its better than never lol. thanks~

so i posted this same problem over on nvidia forums but didn't get any answers from anyone including nvidia staff members so i decided to seek help from our forums.

as the title states every time i restart/shutdown my resolution restarts to the lowest which is 800X600 and this only happens on any update above 353.06,

so im way behind from the update now.

im using GTX680m 4GB on windows 7 ultimate edition with m17xr4

already tried editing my registry default X and Y resolution and disabling/enabling services related and non related to windows with no result.

ill be happy if someone can help me because i already asked for helped on the nvidia forums and i didn't received any help or useful reply.

thanks

Mine's been fine at 1.05V for over a year now, max temperatures in the Summer are 71degC (usually 65-68degC though). If your temperatures are high and you're using a lot of voltage then you might decrease the life of your card - you definitely want it under 90 degC, and under 80degC if you can manage it. (I've not heard of anyone frying their Kepler mobile card yet, apart from the guy above!)

nice to know since im also running GTX680m at 1050V i have my fan Set to 4600 RPM when ever my GPU hits 80C and i was able to maintain it below that temp while playing shadow of mordor on high settings. i have it Over clocked too

thanks for sharing. btw i tried using the vbios you have for 680m but it wouldn't let me flash it im using GTX680m 4gb version

------Edited-----

nvm it worked i used the clevo Vbios for dell

@Robbo thanks for the reply, about the cpu upgrade the reason why i asked is because i saw some one on you tube who did an upgrade on his M17xR2 and he was able to do so just making sure

hi guys wanted to ask if its ok to use another monitor for my m17xr4 as an extension and if its ok if that 2nd monitor would be at 60 Hz refresh rate and my main monitor is on 120 hz

i'm using GTX 680m 4 gig by the way. thanks

ill go for lol

hi guys just wondering is it worth to upgrade from i7-3740QM to the later i7-4XXQM would it boost my gaming speed or should i just go for an upgrade Vcard?

thanks.

im not a new member but i havent introduced my self yet so hello peeps

i'm an avid gamer i own M17xR4 system looking to upgrade the parts and overclock my GPU

guys just wondering is it worth it to upgrade from I7-3740QM to the later i7-4XXQM? would it boost my gaming speed or would it be better if to upgrade the video card instead? thanks.
