M17xR3 Upgrading Problems

Hi, guys. i am such a noob on hardware upgrading. I wish someone can help me out.

I recently upgrade cpu and gpu from 2630qm and 460m to 2820qm and 770m. Someone helped me to upgrade and test well. but when i got my laptop back, there's no sound. and the technician told me i can not enable the integrated sound card, so i have to buy a external sound card. i am wondering if there's an alternative to solve this problem.

the second is.. i bought a 128g ssd. i found it is too little space for me. so i think i need to buy another ssd/hhd. what should i do? and i was trying to install win 7 by myself, when it reboots, the screen turns to white, and machine died.

someone plz help, thx

 

Does the system BIOS have on-board audio enabled?

 

any 2.5 inch Hard drive should fix inside your system just fine.

This should help hopefully with your sound issues: 780m GTX - M17xR3 integrated soundcard working again! NO MORE USB SOUNDCARD!

 

Great suggestion bigtonyman! I would suggest adding a 1TB Drive for storage and keep the current SSD as boot drive.

 

thx for replying. i was busy with my school. i cant find audio selection in BIOS menu

 

if i add the ssd or hdd in the laptop. will the system detect the new space automatically?

 

thx, i will look at that discussion
