arvinio Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi so i have a m tech laptop which is pretty much a rebranded Clevo P370em and a while back my amd hd7970m gpu went out in it. I bought a GTX 970M Gpu and installed it in. Following instructions from other users i installed the Prema mod clevo p370em V2 T2 (Win key on the left) bios on my laptop. After i installed it and checked the bios my laptop is not showing that i have the GPU installed in it. Im stuck on what to do next. Can anyone help me out? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) The bios saying there's no GPU means nothing. If you didn't have a GPU, you wouldn't be able to see anything. There is nothing wrong at all. You just need to install the Nvidia driver and you're good to go. Edited June 22, 2016 by Khenglish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaerCadarn Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just make it SLI, if you can afford it and then you're really good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also im having alot of driver issues such as my ethernet and wifi doesnt work. I installed the drivers for them but they still wont work. Im beginning to think that its a bios issue.

Did you also flash the vBios Premamod v2 for your 970m's? Premamod sBios should not be the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvinio Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yes but when i tried flashing the vbios it would say gpu mismatch and close. The bios saying there's no GPU means nothing.

Spellbound Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 If it's saying you have a GPU mismatch perhaps you have one of the later Gsync enabled (lol 1 resistor) GPU's. Is GPU-Z able to read the GPU? If so what is the Device ID? If GPU-Z isn't able to read it, check device manager under display adapters. Go in to properties > details > hardware id in the dropdown. You are looking for the VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx There are 3 different revisions of the 970M 6GB and you may need to just flash with a different vBIOS. If you want to go ahead and confirm which one you need on your own and not wait for a reply you can do the following: Download all 3 vBIOS variants and Maxwell BIOS Tweaker II. You can open the roms in the tweaker and find which one shares the same ID as yours, and then flash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBoneSan Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I can confirm he has a Gsync model. It's from my Clevo P870DM-G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Your system did not launch with the 970m, so your GPU/motherboard combination is not in the Nvidia driver's files. You need to add it. Instructions for doing this are in the link I posted above. There is no bios issue. Don't start flashing random BIOS. Just do the .inf mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok ill do that later today but why is it that the chipset , ethernet, and wifi drivers are not working when i install them on my laptop?

So what i did was i formated my pc then installed the new gpu and flashed my bios with prema mod. Thats where i am right now. My drivers were working before i flashed the bios and thats why im thinking the bios is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvinio Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Im pretty sure that its the bios since the drivers are not working on my laptop. Would anyone have the original clevo p370em bios? Edited June 24, 2016 by arvinio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvinio Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) ok so i followed you suggestion on modifying the inf. and i was finally able to install the gpu driver and my bios is recognizing the gpu. But im still having trouble with my drivers. Do you think i have to reflash to my original bios? Edited June 24, 2016 by arvinio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfectedSonic Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 the bios for your system should have nothing to do with it.(assuming you installed prema sbios) although i do remember that the vbios needed to be the v2 Vbios in order to install a driver over a certain version.( i think it was any driver version 360+) if your still having problems i would first start of with modifying the inf to a 350 and down version driver see if that works. if so that confirms that you didnt update the vbios. installing the original sbios will make your situation worse as the gpu wont be supported at all.(if i remember correctly) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ah good memory @InfectedSonic. Yeah only the v3 system bios supports drivers newer than the 358 series for EM series laptops. I forgot that catch. v2 and stock have equivalent gpu support. For v3 prema changed out the mxm module in the bios with one from another system for proper 900 series support. On a 358 series driver the gpu will still operate correctly under the v2 bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiwepa Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Hello, The bios you flashed should not be the culprit. All my Clevo laptops were/are flashed with Prema work. Never had ,even once, a problem with drivers. I had a P370em: it worked with v2 bios and lately v3 from Eurocom (vga cards bought here). Could you post cpu-z screens (CPU and MAINBOARD tabs)? PS: i at the end you still want to flash original bios, you could find it, with little search, here or at Prema's blog.

matteoumb Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 v3 bios for P370EM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiwepa Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I bought my vga card from EUROCOM, they kindly provided me the bios V3 for the laptop and the vbios for the vga card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
