A failing/failed GPU seems most likely, but it's going to require some actual (physical) troubleshooting to figure out. Removing and reseating the GPU is not a bad idea. I personally think the chances of this actually fixing anything are near-zero. But you aren't "out" anything other than your time and some thermal paste. Resetting the BIOS settings is also something that I would try. I don't necessarily expect that this will fix anything either, but I would still try it before moving on to more steps. (You could use the option to reset from inside the BIOS setup, or you could just disconnect the power and the coin cell battery for a few moments.) Do be sure to note what settings that you have so that you can put them back. We're looking at a hardware issue if neither of those help. Then the question is: is it the GPU (most likely) or something on the motherboard that is preventing the GPU from being recognized (less likely but also possible)? And the only way to figure that out is to replace one of them and see if it fixes the problem. It looks like you can get a replacement K3100M from eBay for around $30, or maybe think about using this as an opportunity to upgrade...

As the title says - looking for an 8740w US NON-backlit keyboard. OR I want to swap a used US backlit keyboard (pretty good condition, I have two, this one is less used, almost as new) for a NON-backlit one, straight swap no additional payment. You send me yours, once received I’ll send mine. Where’s the catch? Recently I’ve added a second fan in place of the DVD/BD drive and the backlit keyboard is not perforated in this area, where the non-backlit is, so the second fan can breathe. EDIT: Here are couple of photos of the keyboard, as well as comparison with the non-backlit one (it’s a Nordic one). https://imgur.com/a/r9JI1YY

206S, the bios wont work on it...

Thanks for your intresting information.

Hi everyone, I am looking for an archived copy of the Prema Mod (v2 or newer) for my Clevo P151EM (currently running a Eurocom compatibility BIOS). My Goals: Overclocking 32GB (4x8GB) G.Skill DDR3L RAM (aiming for 1866MHz/2133MHz). Maintaining support for my GTX 1070 (Pascal) upgrade, which requires UEFI/GOP support. System Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-3940XM (Extreme Edition) GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070 POWER: 230 Watt power brick Chipset: HM77 RAM: 32GB G.Skill 1600MHz CL9 DDR3L Cooling: P150SM heatsink + IETS GT500 + PTM7950 Stable build for the last 2 years Does anyone have the P15xEM_17_11_PM_v2 archive or a similar modded BIOS that unlocks the memory frequency/voltage menus and maintains Pascal compatibility? I have dumped my current BIOS for recovery purposes. I have had this laptop since 2013 and done some pretty big upgrades on it since then. Now that I have recently finally upgraded to a new laptop, I wanted to have some fun with my old one and see if I could get a little more performance out of her. Thank you for any help!

Hi guys, I have a problem. I own a Dell Precision M6800 with an Nvidia Quadro K3100M GPU. Everything was working fine, and I was using the laptop for CAD programs (Archicad and AutoCAD). However, one day when I tried to launch Archicad, the program either wouldn’t open or it would freeze. I asked ChatGPT what the issue might be, and it suggested that the GPU could be the cause. I was advised to boot into Safe Mode, uninstall the GPU driver, and test whether Archicad would run on the integrated graphics (Intel HD). After doing that, the program worked perfectly. I then attempted to reinstall the K3100M driver, but that’s when the real problem started, Windows no longer detected the GPU, not even in Device Manager. I tried the following: 1. Scanning for hardware changes in Device Manager 2. Removing the Intel HD graphics driver 3. Removing the main battery 4. Removing the CMOS battery 5. Forcing installation of the K3100M driver None of these methods worked. Even the BIOS no longer detects the K3100M, it’s as if the GPU doesn’t exist. I would also like to mention that aside from this issue, the laptop works perfectly. I ran diagnostics using Dell SupportAssist, as well as the built-in Dell BIOS diagnostics, and no errors were reported. The BIOS is updated to the latest available version. I’m wondering whether the GPU had already started failing when the CAD programs began crashing, and after uninstalling the driver it completely stopped working. The last two solutions suggested to me, by Ai, were: 1. Physically removing the GPU from its slot and reseating it. 2. Accepting that the GPU has most likely failed. Thank you in advance and best regards.

Thanks @panda_zzz for the correction. Interesting @erikmiskolin that you have a HP GPU board but dell vbios and it worked (until recently) are the dell vbios .rom more compatible than HP for our needs? maybe worth adding a sticky post somewhere on this forum for known working rom versions and card combo’s

I did a shunt mod, so yeah I hope that this heatsink would help to keep overclocked temps in check.

Nuclear Option's OST. Very saxxy. https://youtu.be/orK76GWKEeY

If we are talking about the 965m mxm-a format, then no, it does not have GM204. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-965m.c2796 The differences from m2200 are basically in the frequencies.

quite a good comparison between AMD, Intel Gram Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Book 6 with Intel X7 Also a few more videos. Panther lake really buries AMD now on battery life, but also vs Lunar lake it's 20% better in real life. Quite impressive. Also OLED is by now better at battery life at higher brightness. LCD can onyl win at low brightness levels (below 200, above OLED wins easily). OLEDs really have improved a lot over the years while LCD haven't that much (and I'm quite sure LG Gram Pro uses IPS Black v2 panels, they just didn't talk much about it). With the OLED on the Gram Pro being anti reflective now too, I think the case for LCD isn't that big anymore. Too bad there is no microLED LCD by LG. There's talk about prices of the new notebooks rising again in March, that's after they already increased them in February.

nope, the M2200 is GM206 n 965M is GM204

this is aimed for creators, most of us hooligans get all the above for free as is.

Is the m2000m/m2200m which I think is the quadro equivalent of gtx 965m (correct me if I’m wrong) I had the no-post with my 965m card, suspected wrong vbios so no boot, didn’t even get the “enter bios” or hp logo displayed. so your not alone with the issues with the 8570w playing nice with cards. that said, guys on here have put 980m amongst other cards with a truckload of fettling and an 8770w heatsink. As I plan to run a 980m KBX very kindly did an image of his vbios, so we have a proven working 980m/8570w i think the best card we can throw in on a “normal screen” 8570w is a 1060m/980m (requires heatsink mod) if we exclude guitarg’s awesome work. That is in a different league

So cool! (If it works, of course!)

Simple online search shows a few options but might need to buy the 2080 cooling setup. I have the external graphics amplifier working on the Area 51m with good results.

finally arrived: palmrest n 2x4GB 2133(2x4GB still on da way) arrived too... maybe will put tomo all together 🙂

Hello again, For future generations, if anyone has a similar performance issue, I've found the cause. After installing a CPU, I must have broken a pin in the CPU socket. I didn't notice it. All GPU and CPU benchmarks, in separate tests, seemed fine. The R23 showed >15,000 points. The GPU drew 140-165W during benchmarks. The only issue seemed to be a drop in performance with 3dmark Timespy and in some games. The only thing I didn't check first was the PCI-E bandwith. It turned out that the PCI-E only worked at x1 3.0, not x16 3.0 as it should.The cause turned out to be a broken pin in the CPU socket in the PCIe lanes group. The lack of connection caused the system to go into safe mode, so it would only run at x1 3.0. The laptop works, but significantly worse. A few screenshots below for documentation.Now I need to find someone to solder a pin for me from another identical socket. Wish me luck and take care of your pins.

My tests of the HP Fury G1i range showed they had significantly lower CPU/ GPU power limits that throttled performance much quicker and the fan noise was incredibly loud in comparison. Pro max range is clearly not without its teething troubles but for us it’s certainly the best balance of performance, fan noise. Alot more effort has gone into the cooling solution vs HP in my opinion and that’s important if you work in an office with colleagues or don’t want earbuds in all day just to block out the noise of the HP under heavy load!

Hello, Did you replace these screws? If so, could you tell me exactly what kind of screws they are and do you know where I could buy them?

What is the alternative for competitive play to make sure you can watch every level of the hardware? Each time game companies up their watchdog/guardian programs, hackers and mod makers figure out a way around it. It has been escalating till the final solution is to monitor every nuance of the hardware as the final solution and now mod makers and cheaters have met their match. The only way around this, and it has been attempted, is post level compromised systems that can get in there to subvert the tpm / secure boot mechanism. On the other hand, making two distinct forks could and should be the way to go with one targeting single player mode but even then that has to be worth the effort for the game makers as again the real money is made from multiplayer and long term sustainability and monetization. If there was a financially large enough compelling reason to offer a single player version of the game devoid of big brother being knee deep, they would do it but I suspect that single player only audience is very small. Surfing various gaming forums and reddits, there is low to no outrage to this because it restores the integrity of the game not because they're sheeple lol. As a player, I would definitely set up two individual installs of Windows which I've done in the past for other reasons with one targeting game play only and the other for personal use. I'm with you. I don't want a game company having access to every level of my hardware. Good unboxing and nice overview.... Couldn't use OLED due to heat, but I don't like the USB display interface but that's just me. Thing runs so cool including the memory, wicked.... You can sign into your MSI account RIGHT NOW!!111 and enter the raffle for the right to spend ~$5500 after taxes to get 3-10% more performance over your existing 5090 while sucking down insane power.....

Ok, that is slick.....real slick.

I forgot to mention the cheapo screen they plastered on the GPU. But I expect it's difficult to make everything top notch within the price target/advertising budget. They could have made it even better when you know the card is a limited Edition and made mostly to promote MSI. They won't make huge profits from only 1300 cards where they give away 50-100 of them. Promoting Cost Money, then do it properly when you first are at it. Get back some of the costs is probably the icing on the cake. And probably the reason for some of the cost savings. This gen Lightning isn't like in the old days where they produced more of the Flagship cards. If you wanted a card, you could get one.

That only partially makes sense and doesn't explain why they are going full Nazi retard and forcing such draconian anti-cheat blocks on single-player campaign. I honestly think it is as much a social engineering experiment to see how all of the zombie gamer sheeple react to being told how things are going to happen and driven by nefarious intentions as much or more than the surface-level appearance of an effort to make cheating more difficult. And yes, I do fully expect the gaming sheeple to value their online gaming experience more than personal freedom and autonomy. When a game uses a different EXE and config file for SP vs MP forcing this feces on everyone carte blanche is purely a butthead dictator move.
