Upgrade from 6990m - dell to Clevo 7970m v1.1 in alienware m17x R3


Recommended Posts

Hello.

I upgrade my alien to clevo 7970m.ver 1.1 from P170EM . I did everything exactly as in[GUIDE] Installing and Overclocking the AMD Mobility 7970 in the M17x R3.

I ran the laptop, the screen was black and I get 8 beeps. I had to do reset bios and screen start up, after changing bios setting :

primary display to -PEG

disabled internal gpu

again the screen was black and I get 8 beeps. I reset bios to default.

I flash bios with non enduro version from this thread http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo/4428-modified-clevo-7970m-vbios-pack-non-enduro.html .

After install driver from "GUIDE" an restart system message display that no driver for video card was installed. In device manager in video card display radeon 7970m but with ! and inforamtion error "code 43" bad driver.

I flash vBios card with dell vBios, after install new driver and restar I have another problem with dim screen like in this thread 7970M Dim Screen Fix on R3, Sort Of....

Is the way to have 100 % working 7970m in my alien.
