Help with 670M installation into a Sager NP8170/Clevo P170HM

Hi, thanks for reading. I have a Sager NP8170 with a burned out 6990M GPU. I've baked the 6990 many times and decided it was time to replace it. I purchased a GTX 670M from Sager, verified that my system BIOS was up to date, and updated my EC firmware with files sent to me from Sager.

When I install the 670M and start the computer, it freezes on the Sager screen and will not allow me to F2 or F7 and gives an occasional BIOS beep.

What is the issue, and how do I fix it?

From what I've read in the link below, I think the GPU may have a VBIOS that is too new and needs to have it flashed to an older version.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have system BIOS version 1.01.10LS2 which Sager told me is the most current

I have KBC/EC Firmware version 1.00.09SA2 which I just updated from .06 with a file sent to me by Sager's tech support

The 670M Sager sent me has VBIOS: 70.24.49.00.02 and has a Jan '15 sticker on top of the card.
