Properly installing bios + drivers? A04 Mod

I'm going to attempt to change my bios to the A04 mod to disable the intel display and to singularly run off the nvidia gpu. This way, I can install and run off the 275.33 nvidia driver and hopefully fix half of my games being unable load, play, or bsod after 10-15minutes of gameplay.

Though, I could use a hand on the order of things I should do this in. I would appreciate some help.

 

I have the 460m and have not found one game that doesn't play and have never had a BSOD

 

Yes. That is good to know. Congratulations.

 

If your sig is right, then you have the 460m + 120hz screen, so the Intel IGP is already disabled for you. Way less headaches and better stability out of the box.

For us on the 60hz screen with 'optimus' enabled it is often a different experience....

Zoolian982, details of what you will be doing:

Install the modded BIOS using a dos boot disk/usb drive. HP has a nice utility to format a usb drive for this.

After the BIOS installer reboots the machine 'f2' to go into the BIOS. All the settings will have reset to defaults, so if you do not use the BIOS raid mode change the disk settings to whatever mode you used before.

Go to the video settings and disable the intel gpu and change the primary display to PEG (which is the 460m).

Boot into windows. It will re-load graphics drivers based on whatever version you had installed before. Do the inf mod to install 275 or later drivers.
