So my r2's old gpu died and I decided it was a good time to upgrade. Got myself a clevo 8970m on BR44465.003. My laptop posts and I can hear windows starting but no LCD.

I ended up trying this card in my 17 (r5) and although my bios can see the card neither atiflash or the device manager will recognize it. I have no idea what to do.

Go into device manager and see if any of he system devices have a yellow triangle next to them. Usually it would be the PCI controller. If anything does, make a backup and uninstall that driver. Windows will automatically replace it with the default driver agai and reset any settings that may still be keyed to your old card.
