    Hey guys,

    Awhile back I flashed a custom bios to my gtx680m and I can't remember how I did it.. Well I just updated my drivers on my video card to the latest ones (320.49) and now my bios is saying 80.04.33.00.32 [INVALID]. I would like to either get it back to the stock bios or try another custom bios that lets me overclock..

    Thanks!

    Probably not, especially if you get back the standard vBIOS

    I just linked that for a guide, I am on the GTX 780M, you have to procure your original vBIOS (or one that works). You have to get a user of the AW R4 to send you a copy theirs (try the R4 owners lounge) or search google for it.
