Bios Modder Klem Posted March 21, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted March 21, 2015 yes my laptop boot in windows but device manager only shows the intel HD4000 graphics and dont recognize 580mI think MSI GT60/70 does not compatible with GTX 580M, even if you flash MSI vbios.

kman4you Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 thank you @Klem for replying, actually due to absence of gpu my notebook's fan is running on full speed, so the whole point of this bios unlocking was to recognize alienware's gpu in my notebook. now as u said that it will not help even i flash bios.i want to ask that is there any way to make the fan silent, i tried every software but i got nothing. fan is running on full speed as usual,because i read in msi forums that fan is controlled by embedded controller (ec).Is there any way to unlock my bios and change the settings of ec to silent my notebook's fan.

Khenglish Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 yes my laptop boot in windows but device manager only shows the intel HD4000 graphics and dont recognize 580mThis is normal. The card will not appear until you install a driver. You will have to .inf mod the driver to get it to install.

kman4you Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 @Khenglish i've done the same but at the point (Device manager -> Display Adapters ->) i only see intel HD4000 graphics.no nvidia gtx 580m is shown there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bios Modder Klem Posted March 22, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted March 22, 2015 Also you can try flash in to 580M, vbios from MSI 675M. But you need programmer device or your friends laptop Alienware m18xr2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bios Modder Klem Posted March 22, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted March 22, 2015 Try find your card in DOS. Create bootable USB stick, put on this stick nvflash, boot laptop in real DOS mode, and run nvflash with key --list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is normal, and this you cant solve. Unlock or mod bios does not solve this issue, and you need connect discrete graphic card.</http:> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BAKED Posted March 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2015 580m is not shown in DOS mode.nvflash says no card is availableAre you sure the card works? Try reseating the card.If I remember correctly the Dell version of 580M works in 16F2 but that laptop supported a lot of cards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman4you Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 yes card was in working condition when i pulled it from alienware @Suoah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bios Modder Klem Posted March 22, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted March 22, 2015 Vbios 580M does not support Optimus tecnology, but vbios MSI 675M are support this tecnology. Now you need the laptop where you pulled it from (Alienware), or the same laptop, or programmer device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
