    can you give me the ID of your graphic card like this :
    example for my m17xr3 gtx 660M
    : PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0FD4&SUBSYS_04901028&REV_A1

    so you can check yours via : device ID hardware -> display -> hardware IDs

    I got the drivers installed, and its working but only when I disable the sound card. If I don't disable the sound card, I get a solid color screen. Attached is what I had to disable, how can I get sound?
