    Hi guys.

    I cant figure this out.

    I bought a barebone GT70 0ND-444US from Ebay,Installed CPU & GPU from another GT70 0NE-611NE.Bought separate RAM\HDD.

    Everything is fine except from the GTX680M. If I try to open Nvidia settings "adjust image bla bla with preview" it gives me a BSOD with nvlddmkm.sys everytime..

    Am I using wrong drivers?I downloaded the graphics driver for the 0NE since that supports 680m.Old driver...


    Gave me some wierd errors before also code (43) etc...

    Also tried flashing laptop with unlocked bios http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/684088-msi-gt70-unlocked-bios-latest-10m-non-raid.html Didnt seem to make a difference..

    Any tips,thoughts on this??? Im starting to think the GPU is ruined....

    Could be the vBIOS, try use GPUz to check the vBIOS version:

    Looks like the video card is causing the problem.

    No point in trying to flash it with another vbios?

    You can try flash the vBIOS to the stock MSI GTX680M:

    http://gentechpcforums.com/Images/MSI/680m.rom

    My GTX680M says 4GB on GPUZ 0.6.9 and yours says 3GB for some reason:

    I did that,then installed new driver gpuz2.gif

    And then upon opening nvidia controlpanel and trying "adjust settings with preview" it gives BSOD.Nvlddmkm..Trying to play a game also results in this..

    How come mine says PCI-E 3.0?? And yours 2??

    It's just my own Windows registry problem since my Windows was originally installed with Intel Sandy Bridge processor that's why it shows PCI-E 2.0, doesn't really matter.

    But looks like you need to replace your video card.

    Does it say G13E-GTX-A2 on the GPU itself?
