nubnub11 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi guys, i've recently purchased a 7970m for my m15x to replace my 5850m. I booted up my laptop after installing the new GPU but the screen is black. However, I can see bios page with the alienware logo and the window start up icon. The start up sound also plays but the screen then turns to black.Does anyone have a solution to this problem?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 That's odd, especially because you see the AW logo. Did you uninstall the old AMD driver before installing the 7970m? Do you know which vbios version is on your card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetics Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Or try with safe mode first in Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehmitt Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 when you did the upgrade did you have to get a different bracket? I'm upgrading from the 5800 series and wondered if its just a swap, paste, pad and go? Also what part number was on your card, and do you know the difference with 9XVK3 and the 747M2, thanks for the help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
