Robbo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Question.I'm swapping out a potentially faulty MB on my R3 to correct a screen issue that I've narrowed down. I upgraded to the 780m as well so I have the A12 BIOS flashed to the current board, but the replacement board will have an older BIOS set flashed by default.Can I still boot into windows with IGP enabled and the card installed in order to flash to the A12, or should I create a bootable USB with the A12 on it in order to update the replacement board?Thanks ahead of time.Considering you have to remove the card anyway to replace the motherboard, then you may as well boot it up without the 780M and flash the modified A12 BIOS having just booted up using the IGP. Then you can put in the 780M, and go from there. But, I don't think it would hurt trying it with the 780M installed - if it doesn't boot up you'd just remove the card. You have nothing to lose either way, that's how I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Enable IDT/BIOS after uninstalling nv drivers and boot normally.i did this a couple of times.the problem is, whenever i boot normally, i get a pink/orange/yellow random coloured screen.this is the problem i think:'BIOS enable IDT -> Install IDT drivers -> IDT control panel -> Advanced -> check enable power management'i downloaded different idt drivers (different versions for m17xr3), but can't get the idt control panel to pop up.therefore the question: anyone knows how to access the panel?
