Hello, I bought a GTX 980m for my alienware MX18R2 which had a SLI of 2 GTX 675m. So I updated my BIOS A12 version provided by Dell but when I install the GTX 980m, my pc beep 8 times at startup and nothing happens. I do not have access to bios. So I reinstall 1 GTX 675m to find a solution on a forum and here I am. I understand that it is possible to flash the bios via a bios manufactured by a person who knows how to do it. I come to ask you if it would be possible to give me a bios for mla motherboard so that the series 900 works. Here are the info of my laptop: Operating System Windows 10 Professional 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7 3610QM @ 2.30GHz 39 ° C Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology RAM 12.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28) Motherboard Alienware M18xR2 (U3E1) Graphics Generic PnP Monitor (1920x1080 @ 60Hz) 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M (Dell) 52 ° C Storage 238GB Samsung SSD 840 Series PRO (SSD) 39 ° C 698GB Western Digital WDC WD7500BPKT-75PK4T0 (SATA) 38 ° C 14GB Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 USB Device (USB) Optical Drives PLDS DVD + -RW DL-8A4SH DiscSoft Virtual SCSI CdRom Device audio Sound Blaster Recon3Di and: Motherboard Manufacturer Alienware Model M18xR2 (U3E1) version A12 Intel Vendor Chipset Chipset Model Ivy Bridge Chipset Revision 09 Southbridge Vendor Intel Southbridge Model HM77 Southbridge Revision 04 BIOS Brand Alienware version A12 Date 13/09/2013 PCI Data PCI-E x16 slot Slot Type PCI-E x16 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x16 Slot Designation J5C1 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 0 PCI-E slot x1 Slot Type PCI-E x1 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x1 Slot Designation J6C1 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 1 PCI-E slot x1 Slot Type PCI-E x1 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x1 Slot Designation J6C2 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 2 PCI-E slot x1 Slot Type PCI-E x1 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x1 Slot Designation J6D2 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 3 PCI-E slot x1 Slot Type PCI-E x1 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x1 Slot Designation J7C1 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 4 PCI-E slot x1 Slot Type PCI-E x1 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x1 Slot Designation J7D2 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 5 PCI-E slot x1 Slot Type PCI-E x1 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x1 Slot Designation J8C1 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 6 PCI-E x16 slot Slot Type PCI-E x16 Slot Usage Available Data lanes x16 Slot Designation J8C2 SME Characteristics, Hot Plug Slot Number 7 I thank you in advance.
