Hey all,

Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and know of a Fix.

Alienware M17X R3

GTX 780M

Drivers are V340.43

Windows 8.0

All setup from reading information here.

This also happens for SC2 but not for World of warcraft that runs without any issues.

Does anyone have this problem or know of a fix.

I have tried to take the drivers back to a old version but this doesnt make any difference. The same problem soon as the game starts it just black screens.

Thanks in advance.

This is fixed and working now.

Caused by the HD audio drivers, not had a chance to remove the drivers and install the latest up to date ones I found on here but this causes the problem in D3 and SC2 not WOW.

If the drivers do not fix it then it will be using a USB headset to overcome the issue.

Diablo 3 had issues with Nvidia Optimus around the first few launch-patches, It might have returned, check the Blizzard forums for more support, else try running the game with the Onboard GPU and see if it changes anything (or Force running the game with IGP or GPU from nvidia control panel), this might be a more long term solution then updating your audio drivers (which is weird if it would fix that)

      P770DM-G 980M Won't Boot
      By BasedKnight
      I recently purchased a replacement 980M (Clevo model) for my P770DM-G after the original died, however, after installing the card the laptop doesn't boot. I only get a black screen, and after a couple minutes the fans spin to max before shutting down, which is the same thing that happens when I try to boot it without any gpu at all. I've tried the reset procedure, unplugging, removing battery, and removing CMOS, to no avail. It does beep before shutting down (I counted 22 times exactly). Anyone have any insight as to what the problem is?

      m18xR1 ati mobility 4870 black screen
      By mtvgt
      Hi guys,
      i have m18x R1 model with A05 unlocked bios and i try to connect ati mobility 4870 card/s.
      I read ton of posts but people that seem to have similar problem with different card didn't post any solution. Case is when i connect 4870 i get black screen and 8 beeps.
      When i use only integrated graphics (no cards installed) laptop is starting normally.
      When i use integrated graphics (nvidia card installed as master) laptop is starting normally.
      When i use nvidia card installed as master laptop is starting normally.
      When i use nvidia card installed as master and ati 4870 installed as slave laptop is starting normally but in devices manager i see there is error 10 with ati card.
      When i use ati 4870 card installed as master i get 8 beeps and black screen.
      I tried to google for answers but unfortunatelly didn't find any. Do you know if that old card can work in m18x ? Maybe it's not supported at all? Do you have any ideas what else can i try?

      M18x R2 GPU update to GTX 880M black screen problem
      By Eviling Dark
      Hello
      I bought Dell gtx 880m for my m18x r2.
      I thought there would be fewer problems than with gtx 970m.
       
      Installed it and the laptop at the start produces 8 sound signals with black screen.
      I tried to flash a11 and a12 BIOS and it did not help.

      eGPU first time start no display
      By nidhoggur
      Hey guys. So I got this far.
      Connected the laptop HP EliteBook 8460p i5 2450M to this ASUS Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GPU via an express card /34
      And this resulted in my laptops display not initialising which was to be expected I recall reading on different threads here.
      My second monitor is using hdmi so I tried hdmi on the gpu and also connected a hdmi to dvi adaptor to the laptop and sadly the monitor never detected anything,
      Can anyone help make sense of this with me?
       
      BTW I connected the egpu while the laptop was off. Then powered the laptop on

      Black screen on Stock Bios P150SM-A
      By doodloo
      Hello,
      I just posted on the Prema Mod blog, and just realized my misstake... I will kindly ask for my comment to be removed, as i feel right here on Techinferno is a better place for my question.
      I have a P150SM-A / GTX970M with stock BIOS. Had to shut it down to reboot, and when it turned back on, the BIOS kicked in in “recovery mode”. I pressed continue, and after some progress bars it rebooted. Now, it won’t turn on at all anymore: the fans are both ON, the keyboard is backlit solid blue, but that’s it. No screen backlight.
      I have tried numerous things that were asked here: Removed the battery, power plug and CMOS battery and let it sit for 10mn… Same thing. Tried to change RAM slots, but no cigar…
      Is there anything i can do before going to my reseller?
      I don’t have an external screen or rig to use unfortunatelly, and i would really appreciate any direction.
      Notes:
      - When the computer went into recovery mode, I noticed that the HDD identifiers were different, before they were P0, P3 and P5, but this time change to PM SM and SS (So primary master, secondary master and secondary slave… Reminds me of my first PC with IDE back in 1998).
      - Also, before doing this, the computer took an abnormal amount of time before showing me the BIOS (Like it was stuck on detecting some hardware). I also remember briefly seeing a message about an invalid EFI thing… Which is super weird as I dont use EFI.
      - When i turn the computer on, I noticed that Caps Lock / Num Lock are not functional. However, Fn + 1 puts the fans at full speed. Not sure if this information is of any help.
      - Im aware of the method to Fn + B to recover a bios, but I'm not too comfortable doing so, as it might break the warranty, yes?
      Thanks for your help!
