    Hi guys,

    I got an Nvidia GTX 770m for my laptop and it will not show up at all. I've tried unlocking the BIOS via method here:

    https://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m15x-aw-15/876-unlocked-m15x-bios.html

    And it flashed fine but gave me other submenus. The card still does not read in the BIOS or in Windows. Nvidia installer does not find it either. It is from a reputable dealer and I'm doubtful that it's DOA.

    Is there some other trick to get the M15x to read new gpu's?

    Thanks for any help.
