    Yep guys! I have the solution now for the for the solid color screen when taking these steps to upgrade to the GTX 880M card. There is actually a prerequisite to this. You must have the IDT High Definition Audio driver installed BEFORE doing this! Hopefully this will save someone in here a whole lot of trouble! 🙂

      It's nice to still see other people working on this upgrade! I upgraded my M17xR3 a few years ago (I bought an inexpensive GTX 880M off ebay, I think it was an MSI variant) and I've never been able to get an image showing on my laptop screen since. The screen is always black, though, the backlight works. The computer displays an image fine via the HDMI Out to an external monitor, I've just never been able to get it to display on the laptop screen since the upgrade, even with modifying the Nvidia driver. Do you happen to have any experience with that?

      @drek9k2 8 месяцев назад

      New computer at that point Jesus what processor did you even have? Second gen core i7 with a GTX 670m would be old. That must be a core Duo or something, Sempron not sure but whatever it is it'd have bottlenecked a MXM GPU if you even can find it. Also Dell's BIOS is trash literally the majority of problems with a Dell is the BIOS, the rest is down to the motherboard and the inability to exhaust heat.

    @Tailz94 7 лет назад +2

    Hey there nice video. Very detailed, but unfortunately even though I followed your guide to the letter. I end up with a White or Pink Screen when Windows 10 loads up. The only way to stop it is to disable HDA in the BIOS and Windows 10 will load. I've lodged a support claim. I hope we can sort this out after paying as much as I did plus waiting time to get my 880M for my M17X R3

      Hey there over 2 years later and still not working! Despite also having support to try and fix it. Nothing has occurred, my suggestion is someone at Eurocom get a M17X R3, our the 880M in it and run the latest version of Windows 10 to see what I’m talking about and get this issue fixed. Windows 7 isn’t gonna be around forever support wise and the benefits of Windows 10 is being missed out on right now

I am trying to upgrade my alienware GPU, I had originally purchased it with an AMD radeon HD 6900m series, I recently bought the 880m nvidia geforce GTX, do I have to download both files listed in the link for drivers, or either one of them will work?

    Is the 7970M heatsink compatible?
    Is my 7970M fan compatible?
    My m17x r4 got an i7-3610QM processor. It's ok?
    my ac adapter is a 240W it's ok for this kind of upgrade?

      Here are all of our upgrades for the Alienware M17xR4: www.eurocom.com/ec/upgrade(2,259,0)ec For heatsinks you will need the three pipe for 100 Watt cards. Yeah, a 240W AC adapter will be ok.

If not, you can contact them through chat and tell them the problem then they should release a patch after a day or too for you or worse option, you need to go back to the previous build.

    Hello friend and thank you for a great guide, however i have encountered a little issue.
    After installing the new GPU my windows goes blue screen on login. If i switch the IGD back on, windows loads normally but no sign of Nvidia in the device manager.
    Will a clean Windows installation with the IGD disabled fix this? (windows 7)
    Thank you and best regards.

      if i do upgrade it to a14, will i still have the "unlocked" options? also, i did everything listed on your description... i hope its not a physical problem with the card itself.

    hello eurocom, i need help with my laptop. I have an Alienware m17xr3, I switched the default graphics that came with (AMD ATI 6990m) to a Nvidia GTX 880m,
    which is the latest known video card to work with windows 8.1, at that point it was working fine until I tried installing windows 10. Display was showing a white screen, and every time I tried resetting the laptop, it was not going past the boot stage without showing that white screen. Once again I reset to the BIOS, and switched the display mode from PEG to IGFX. And now it’s stuck at no POST with 6 beeps. at that point I took it to a repair shop, but its stuck at the alienware logo without ever reaching the OS. How can I fix this issue?
