Hello everyone!

I have a big problem :-(

I bought AMD 7970m from Clevo p370em. This card have stock Clevo vbios for working on p370em on crossfire.

Whem I installed it on my Clevo p170em, after power on, notebook fan speed is full and shuting down after few beep.

Card is normal recognise in bios but I dont have much time to flashing new bios for this 7970m.

What I suppose to do? What is problem? How I can reflashing bios on this card before notebook shutdown? I'm don't have p370em

ps Sorry for my English

Hello I have a Sager/Clevo P170em and when i go through the instructions atiflash fails to flash the new vbios. anyone have any advice on how to make it work? atiflash -p i vbiosfile which in my case is atiflash -p 0 amd.ROM wont flash.

It is difficult to get atiflash to work with enduro systems. atiwinflash will work consistently as long as you force the card to stay on.

Hi svl7 could you check out my 7970m bios and see is it the same? I see it had a different BIOS number and it also adjusts voltage depending on the load.

Note I only had to do -p to flash.

Is it possible to get the overvolted version with ability to adjust voltage on lower clocks.

Hey Khenglish, how did you do it when you flashed your GPU? Atiflash or Atiwinflash?

I have the same setup as you but i`m still not sure what vbios file to use even after spending days researching about it on 150EM systems:(

Any assurance from you would give me agreen light for flashing my 7970m vbios:)

Best regards guys!

Hey There,

I see this thread has been going on for a while now. I am looking to buy two Dell 7970m cards (hopefully not very abused). How can I find out more about the version of each card. The way I read this thread is that version 22 is not flashable. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

Hi I was hoping to get some insight on an issue I have with my dell 7970m install in a m17x r2 that I believe is a vbios issue. My card is running but I'm only getting video output on vga and hdmi. My rgb led screen on my laptop stays black. I popped in my old 4870 and the screen turns on. I have a 15.022 card. Any help would be appreciated.

Where do you find the version number on the card? I remember a comment about "version 22" not being flashable. Is this in all rigs or just Dell products?

I had a 7970m-CF setup previously and I think I found the version number either in GPU-Z or when looking inside the vBIOS of it.

Hello Svl7!

First off, I've been following all the great work recently on the 980M bios, congratz on that!

I have acquired a 7970m from a Clevo seller, I guess he tried to flash his card and it probably bricked it.

I have at my disposal:

- Alienware 18 with 2x 780M

- Alienware M18x r2 with 2x 7970m

- Alienware M18x r1 with 1x 7970m

- 2x Alienware M17x r2(5870m and 580m)

Can you tell me what to try to see if the card is really bricked?

If it is, can I send it to you for fixing it?

Thank you
