eDP cable is for M17x/AW17 series, M18x is LVDS only. Yes M2000M + Tesla P6 should work in PEG but I haven't tested it. fastest card I have tested is RTX 5000 in slot 2 PEG with m2000m in slot 1.

A4500 was 8 beeps. no pc not even aw18 was able to boot it with stock vbios. flashing dell vbios allowed it to boot but code 43. 7 beeps doesn't sound right, you said it can go into bios, so can you see that?
-
Temps can get a little high in the 80s but 980M doesn't run full power in m15x anyways. pretty sure I need a vbios mod for that. 970m should be perfect

I tested up to RTX 5000 in SG and PEG. SG is limited to DX11 M2000M + RTX 5000 works DX12
-
In order to use GPU2 in SG or PEG mode, you need to perform registry edit. This is assuming you are on Windows 10 or 11. Here's the guide: Now we need to hear @Braintwistah opinion on the bios, I think he has some GPUs to test too
-
You can run rtx 3000 but it will be limited to dx11. For some reason dx12 doesn't work with intel hd 3000. I am still looking into that

Good to hear the bios works well. I haven't tested tesla m6. Is it in SG mode or PEG? PEG shouldn't work in M6 since it's missing display outputs. Do some more tests, run 3dmark firestrike to make sure the card actually clocks up. I haven't tested M18xR1 yet,but M17xR3 SG fix broke clocks and needed 100 more bios builds to fix. I ported the logic to M18x so it might work. PEG fix: BIOS/display handoff patch so Maxwell can boot as primary GPU. SG fix: BIOS policy patch plus ACPI/AML porting so Intel graphics can own the display while the NVIDIA card is handled correctly as the secondary GPU.

Attached is a bios made with time, effort, money, and love. This file is BUILD 285! ***Alienware M17xR3 BIOS Version A26CS Changelog:*** -Updated CPU Microcode to latest available in 2026 -Updated Intel RST (RAID) OPROM to 12.9 which supports TRIM in RAID0 for SSDs -Updated Intel iGPU vBIOS to v2171 -Fixed PEG mode allowing Maxwell 2 (980M, 970M, M3000M, M4000M, M5000M) and Pascal (P5000, etc) to work (Turing is still not working in PEG eDP) -Fixed SG mode for Maxwell 2. Pascal and Turing work as well. Need amphere and ada testers! -Added BIOS overclocking support! You can overclock a 2920XM/2960XM in bios! Untested on QM but you can test for me. -Some other changes I might have forgotten. I am still trying to port 16GB memory support, UEFI support, and potential Above 4G DECODE Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16WRgMK4qCosFdiPED0PBV3QhXl36-tLY/view?usp=sharing Feel free to buy me a coffee or 12 pack of beer: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XBHCLPNYCMDP2 I still have more plans to update these BIOS' but wanted to get some feedback at least since I don't have a inf amount of cards.

Following my M17xR3 bios, I have decided to release this one early. Attached is a bios made with time, effort, money, and love. This file is BUILD 285 (from M17xR3) ported to M18x! ***Alienware M18xR1 BIOS Version A26CS Changelog:*** -Updated CPU Microcode to latest available in 2026 -Updated Intel RST (RAID) OPROM to 13.5 which supports TRIM in RAID0 for SSDs -Updated Intel iGPU vBIOS to v2171 -Fixed PEG mode allowing Maxwell 2 (980M, 970M, M3000M, M4000M, M5000M) and Pascal (P5000, etc) to work (Turing is still not working in PEG eDP) [NOTE: Pascal doesn't work on LVDS display so for now, this is only true for M17xR3. Pascal DOES work in SG.] -Fixed SG mode for Maxwell 2. Pascal and Turing work as well. Need amphere and ada testers! -Some other changes I might have forgotten. I am still trying to port 16GB memory support, UEFI support, and potential Above 4G DECODE Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-RfvaQ9otmHO9HjbiRn2nYnDiK_lxDlc/view?usp=sharing Feel free to buy me a coffee or 12 pack of beer: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XBHCLPNYCMDP2 I still have more plans to update these BIOS' but wanted to get some feedback at least since I don't have a inf amount of cards.

Try this M2000M vbios: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18D_VxdfP5vFDvV3QWdOqQ7v5JwK4SxtM/view?usp=sharing Also I made a post for M18xR1 bios and M17xR3 bios
