    Hello. Please help to deal with the Radeon 7970m, he got me with a broken msi gx60 as the power supply 180 watts. When installing an msi gx740,the image on the screen was not. Flashed the BIOS from dell 7970m,the image is a driver installed,but any 3d application running at 450 / 300. Flashed the BIOS from clevo 7970m, the image is there,but the driver is not installed. Tried the BIOS for allegedly gx740,driver installed but after installation blue screen with error atikmdag.sys. Guys help me,and that already twice had to lift his feet BIOS that would return the card to the normal state after a failed firmware. Sorry for the bad English.

    You can have problems since the MSI vbios is designed for enduro and then you are trying the run a dell vbios on an MSI card, you might just have the wrong combination to get it working, a dell card would have been better.

    Make sure you use the earliest bios files you can.
