I don't really want to do that... That caused problems for me last time and reinserting the card was troublesome... I remember that when my 970M died, J95 told me to reseat it by removing just the 2 screws with heatsink in place along with fan (or without fan)...

Is your screen fine or did Windows 10+nvidia driver brick the firmware?

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...     GeForce 372.54

Screen etc is fine luckily... That would have been really bad if it happened...Even worse then GPU brick IMO...

I would roll back to whatever OS you were using previously if I were you, mate. Windows 10+ nvidia 355.60 driver bricked my screen in R4.

In regards to removing/re-installing nVidia GPU, you should not have any issues if you are in Optimus. nVidia card is not required at all to POST or boot into Windows.

OMG so sorry to hear that... I'm on 8.1 now and I'm planning on sticking with it... This is absurd... even the new driver did this?

You do have a point about the POST etc.... Makes perfect sense to me... Just want a 2nd/3rd opinion on this from @J95 or @Mr.Fox...

Unlocked BIOS installed... Just doing rest of steps :)

@J95... :P

Edit: I have installed everything however J95 2 points,

1. I don't want to mess around with Creative drivers... I don't have any of those chipset issues and don't want that so I'll stick to old drivers (I have the latest ones on AW website).. do the new drivers actually make any difference?

2. I still have CPU TDP throttle... What settings should I set in the BIOS to prevent this? I have BD PRODCT disabled along with MSR... Maybe [MENTION=119]Mr. Fox[/MENTION] can also help?

Running Windows 10+ Nvidia 355.60 with a GT 750M here. The Geforce Experience update allowed me to download the new driver then it failed saying it wasn't compatible with the version of windows. Downloaded from Nvidia's site and installed successfully. No issues here so far

@J95 , dont know if im doing it right, stock vbios with sli disable

[ATTACH=CONFIG]15531[/ATTACH]

So are you guys using Prema vbios now?

Looking at the version 1.1 released when I go to flash it, it's telling me that my cards ID 05AA doesn't match the intended card's ID.

Haven't browsed these forums in a bit since I've been busy.

post-3012-14495000681553_thumb.png

@tony7755333 Please, try flashing the stock vbios NVFLASH_WIN_5.218_x64 (password premamod.com) and then run GPU-Z render test. ASIC 70.2% 1.062v 3D voltage seems inaccurate. THX.

@jjbettcher I need the missing 3D voltage reading 71.5% ASIC card. THX.

Running W7 with my m18x r1, using mod drivers GeForce 353.49 HF Win7/8.1, is it normal change to integrated graphic card, and when reboot does not change graphic card? Restarting system always still appears 780m.

I'm doing something wrong, or graphic change is not allowed with these mod drivers?

Thanks

@J95 Hello mate

whats the latest version of the drivers you have modded to help with the throttling on the 980ms SLI with m18x r2? Running windows 8.1 and using ur modded drivers 353.00, works good but wanted to install a newer version.

Thanks in advance

Stick w/ v353.00 for the time being...better option than v353.06 anyway.

Hi J95, a little doubt because my English is more colloquial than technical; This version is suitable for my laptop (m18x r1)?
