    Hey. Before doing this flash, I just installed a Blackcomb Eurocom 6970M in my Alienware M17x R3 and cannot get it to work. It boots up into Windows but runs on Intel HD video and in device manager it states the 6970m "failed to start". If I flash it with the Stock with Overdrive vbios, will it work? Thanks!
