    ok i got the gtx 770m in the mail today (yay!) but now i need help with the driver. my guess is i need to mod the inf file but i have no idea how.

    also. i had to disable audio in the bios or the card wouldnt boot into windows. is there a fix for this? i kinda need sound

    o ya im also in the a08 bios. do i need to upgrade it? im VERY reluctant to upgrade bios's after i had some fun and games on an asus mobo (which i fixed) anyway thanks :)

    ok i got the gtx 770m running. but im still having issues with the on board audio. refuses to boot into windows. everytime it "logs in" the screen picks a color of the rainbow and just sits there,
