crashfive Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 m17x R2I have tried everything I can possibly think of to get this stupid video card to work.I upgraded from 5870 to 6990 and there are no compatible drivers I can find on the internet. -Dell drivers, no-go-AMD drivers, no-go-Eurocom drivers, no-goIts a Dell (sub-vendored card) I bought it off eBay from a guy that took it out of his 17xR3 in CF setup. notebookreview forums have a description how to upgrade, but everything is outdated and has broken links, so that's a no-go.I see people's signatures in this forum with updated video cards, is this the one series that was not plug and play and is not compatible with 17x R2?

comanche12 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I would suggest looking up M17x motherboard beep codes for starters. my guess would be that the vbios of your new card are conflicting with the original m17x bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
