Aoshi_x Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hello everyone, I've been lurking for some time around this forum, it always helped me with my m18x, but now since both of my 680m gpus fried, I purchased a 980m and tried to install it just to get the famous 8 beeps. I know I need to flash a Bios to get it to work, but I'm really a noob on those things, I rarely touched Bios stuff before, so I got a little scared of the amout of stuff I need to do just to get this GPU to work. I know there's 2 versions of this Bios here, I dont know which one to get, the svl7 one or the Swick1981 one, but I can't download them with this account yet anyway, even if I donate to the creator. If possible, I would appreciate some directions, tutorials, whatever. My M18x R2 configs are below. Windows 10.0.19041 x64 Intel i7-3920XM CPU @ 2.90GHz, 2101 MHz Overclocked to 4.10 GHz Bios Alienware A12, 13/09/2013 SM Bios ver 2.7 1.01 Legacy Mode 16GB Ram Thanks in advance!

Hi! In your case, you need this bios: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoshi_x Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Thank you for clarifying, but it wont let me download it yet, should I make a donation first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoshi_x Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I just donated U$6,00 and still cant download. Oh, after the donation I need to purchase a membership then. Edited July 9, 2021 by Aoshi_x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoshi_x Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thank you! But do you think it would be safer/better if I get back to Windows 7? I want it to run smooth, and plan on getting a second 980m too, Swick1981 mentioned a guy named woodstackz that sells them, is he from this forum? Also, will I need a modded driver for the 980m or can i just download the latest from nvidia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
