    Is it possible to run w/o the dedicated graphics card (nVidia)? I took mine out and the fan is running full throttle, my power LED is orange and I lost wired Ethernet driver.

    Im not aware of disabling that slot in BIOS (.30C)

    Any other options?

    Are you running an optimus based system?

    The GX60 is the only one I know can (because I have done it).

    Then it had the same response my 16F2 had and no it's not possible.

    Or are you saying it's booting but no behaving quite right in which case there is nothing you can do about it as far as i'm aware either.
