    The M14x R2 will stop detecting the nVidia Video Card or show a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager after updating to BIOS A09.

    Fix it

    I'm still on A08, but my philosophy is: Never change a winning team.
    I keep it the same with my system, as I currently don't see an advantage from updating my BIOS...
