umbrellacorp Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Hello guys I am upgrading from a 6970m to a 780m in my m17x r3 I thought before my 6970 was dead being it stopped working and wouldn't show up in the bios. same problem with my new 780m. I'm running the modified a12 bios. the display drivers or anything to do with windows should have nothing to do with the card not showing up in bios correct? Thanks for any help in advance. running windows 10, a12 unlocked bios,60hz screen and non 3d.

Khenglish Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Have you tried installing a driver with a modified .inf? An unmodified driver will say you have no compatible hardware. Also, the bios saying there is no card often just means it doesn't recognize the card's device ID. The m17x R3 will not recognize a 780m since it was released after the m17x r3.

umbrellacorp Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 the problem is it says you need to have the card working in the bios before you install the drivers apprently. i think it has something to do with the sound working correctly. Verify that the card is properly seated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vEk_ZFAzLI#t=3m51s 1) Enter the A12 unlocked bios M17x R3 BIOS A12 - unlocked & 'SATA fix' , disable the integrated graphics Advanced Menu>Video Configuration>disable IGP>set display to PEG>Disable the Integrated sound card >F10 reboot. Post-Install try re-enabling IDT - install audio drivers first 780m GTX - M17xR3 integrated soundcard working again! NO MORE USB SOUNDCARD! 2) Once in windows disable driver signing. .1 -Open command prompt (Admin) windows key + X .2 -Type "bcdedit /set {current} testsigning yes" (without quotes) enter. .3 -"The operation concluded successfully" .4 -Type exit> reboot. 3) Driver installation. Download GeForce 344.11 WHQL .1 Extract driver using 7-Zip/winrar. Right click extract to "3xx.xx-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql" .2 -Display.Driver folder -> copy/overwrite nvdmi.inf. .3 -Extracted 3xx.xx-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international\ run setup.exe .4 -Select custom install -> check clean install option. .5 -Reboot. nvdmi.inf (unzip) Modded nvdmi.inf v344.11 4) Exit windows 8 test mode. .1 -Again open command prompt (Admin). .2 -Type "bcdedit /set {current} testsigning no" enter. .3 -Type exit>reboot. so i cant set the video to peg because the card isn't registering.
