Is there a possibilty that I will brick my system?If you follow my instructions you shouldn't run into any issues, I'm confident that my mod works fine. Nevertheless I need people to confirm this, especially that the Nvidia card performs as I intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sounds like it... A GPU-Z screenshot of a system which runs on BIOS R0081C8 will tell me all I need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draig Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi, i have tried your bios hack for win8. I get an error. See pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvbppc Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is the USB created using the HP DOS tool supposed to boot UEFI mode? I tried creating a stick and it would only boot in Legacy mode. Is there any potential concern running the flash tool in Legacy boot mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannis_ch Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I tried flashing in Legacy mode and got this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any potential concern running the flash tool in Legacy boot mode?Well... let me put it that way, since when can you run DOS in UEFI mode? So yes, that's all legacy. Possible concerns...?? Why do you think there would be any?I tried flashing in Legacy mode and got this [ATTACH=CONFIG]6048[/ATTACH]Just follow my instructions... you didn't use my prr tool.

giannis_ch Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sorry I missed that bit. I used it now, got no errors, pressed enter, flashed and got the same message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draig Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi, i have tried the new instructions. I used the prr.exe befor i tried to flash. I get the error on the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Okay, that's possible as well, but that would be a bigger problem. I would need access to the system in order to figure out whether I can solve this or not. If anyone (or you) is willing to let me poke around on his system with team viewer... let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadisious Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks for keeping up with us new Win8 users. I'll be testing this as soon as I have enough posts. I'll keep you posted with my results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbushnaq00 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 After doing the bios mod, I am sure the tempretures will rise, specifically in the CPU. Is there anyway I can increase the cooling of the laptop to avoid over heating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway I can increase the cooling of the laptop to avoid over heating?I'm not sure the BIOS mod will affect the heat of the CPU... because this overclocks the dedicated GPU. The overall heat output of the system will surely increase when the dedicated GPU is enabled and you are gaming. The only thing you can do is set the fans to "performance" which will keep them at full/high speed when needed.AFAIK, overheating hasn't been a problem with this laptop as long as fans are on full. Even from those with Win7 model with BIOS already overclocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned before, as soon as I get 5 posts, I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll message you and give you access to do what you need to do.Thanks again!!

mbushnaq00 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I got the same error too. Used BIOSfixer to generate a new R81C8fix.ROM file from the backed up & modded rom file, booted to DOS using the the usb, ran the prr tool, no error message, ran the command fpt -f R81C8fix.ROM -bios = error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah, my prr tool is useless in this case. Someone already let me take a look at his system. I think we can still flash it, I'll post here as soon as I have a solution, should be pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris-00 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 svl7 Thank you for all your hard work.I do have a question though, how do I check the vbios number? The only thing I could find was 80.07.4a.00.05 Thanks for all your help! For you and the people that wants to be really sure about what bios you have, instead of using gpu-z try cpu-z. The info you need is in the ‘mainbord’ tab. Ok 4 more to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I was asking for the vbios version, not bios version... reading helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
