Lament Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Bought an 870m (MXM) to upgrade from the 660m in my Clevo P151EM. Obviously as it's a GPU upgrade I'll need to modify the appropriate inf from the latest Nvidia drivers. I tried following the guide here, but Windows crashes/freezes when I reboot (after installing the drivers, driver signature check disabled) for a few seconds, and then disabling the 870m with code 43. To fix this I used J95's instructions for Balamut, to no effect (with these instructions the installer doesn't detect the 870m). As the machine is a Clevo I need to edit 'nvaci.inf', which doesn't include the device/hardware IDs for my GPU (which is a good sign, I guess). I used the following in '[NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0...14310]': %NVIDIA_DEV.1199.5105.1558% = Section086, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1D10&SUBSYS_51051558 In '[Strings]': NVIDIA_DEV.1199.5105.1558 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870m" ...which matches up to my GPU (screenshot attached) The Nvidia installer doesn't detect my GPU with that, I've had some success messing-about with inserting the GPU into the various infs, all end with the same code 43 error. Am I doing something wrong here, or perhaps something that I'm completely overlooking? Using Windows 10 x64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
