    hello,

    Im having trouble with my "new" 5870m (bought it here in the marketplace)
    the alienware doesnt start and i get the scroll and caps flashing which means that the video card is not working properly...as soon i install the gt 540m everythings works...whats wrong??
    i also downgraded the bios to the A08 version but nothing changed...the card is the red one from dell


    thanks :(
