    Hi folks,

    what happend....

    I upgraded the CPU and I got some issues with my LCD (see picture), so I switched to my 6990m (PEG only) and everything was fine.

    Now I upgraded my PEG to 680m and the issues are back. Switching to PEG only will not help.

    I reflashed the BIOS 2 times
    I reflashed the VBIOS 2 times
    I resetted the BIOS 2 times

    Strange is that this is ONLY i I use the internal screen (native)
    External screen PERFECT
    HDMI out & HDMI in on the M17x PERFECT

    Specs:
    M17X R3
    CPU : 2920XM ES
    GPU : 680M
    RAM : 12GB
    Screen : 1920*1080 60Hz

    So any suggestions?

    Cheers
