Nice. If dell will be fixing this then M18xR1/R2 machines are out of luck. Only AW18 will probably get a fix.
-
is it going to be a software patch or update

The comments are most like ours here and you will find it throughout almost every page with a Windoofs10 review. So the majority (regarding the comments on the links) find it crappy too, so I guess! But I still wonder why it hasn't popped up in the channels, TV, Newspaper, etc., yet.
What you will find is more like: "Oh, there are some reported bugs about some bricked LCD's, failed installations, non functional System Recovery to go back and so on.... But it will probably be fixed soon and then Windoofs10 is a great OS, bla bla bla...."
Would laugh my ar** off, if someone like John Oliver would pick up this theme in his LastWeekTonight. Oh that would be.... most entertaining!Papusan, ajc9988, PC GAMER and 1 other person like this. -

I just thought I'd mention that NVIDIA has released 355.98 WHQL drivers, in case anyone was doing any testing on every driver version.
-
Could it be an "upgrade" issue then? Not that it makes it better though.... -
Am i screwed? I got my M18x R2 yesterday 780m sli.. installed windows 10 and was about to install Nvidia drivers and thankfully come across this! but.. has windows 10 written that EDID already or will I be ok if I install windows 8.1? I installed with full UEFI as well, what a nob
-
You will know when your EDID is corrupt because the display wont work anymore when you startup from a cold boot. -
My observation is this, if MicroSoft and/or NVidia can screw things up, they can be unscrewed. The programmers that thought of how to do it were in class with either smarter or shiftier people than themselves. It seems to me that the brute fix is now available via the blind EDID flash route. Now, there are a finite number of places new code could have been written to make it continue to happen after a BIOS and/or hard drive wipe. Are any tools available to read/write this MicroSoft "infect my Windows computer" area, I mean Windows Platform Binary Table? Are there any other places code can be written at the motherboard level?

So stressful! so.. is it still a no go if I flash the BIOS and install windows 8.1?
-
How please? I'll Google in the mean time to see if I can do it
-
But give it a try! Do a fresh and clean install.... and wait! -

Edit: You should be able to save your Report as a .txt-file. -
Screenshot posted in previous page mate
-
I realise that, but it's only half the battle!
You have to save it as a txt-file and copy & paste it in above mentioned Reader and only, if the checksum is "true", then it is okay, for now -

installed windows 8.1 - ill try EDID and save, windows 10 wouldn't output the txt file and also ***My LCD is reporting 64HZ!** is this it?? is this whats going to slowly fry my lcd
-
failed to extract EDID do I need to be connected to an external monitor or something? same output as windows 10

http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm
But this only gives you what is in the registry from the last cold boot of your machine. It will not tell you in 'real time' what info is in the EDIDCaerCadarn likes this. -
AFAIK there's real-time option in MonInfo
-
Thanks for pointing it out!
@mrsweet1991: You can give it a try. Shouldn't hurt! -
-
ok, I had a program that opened it up like that, but how do I convert to txt for that edid reader? it only gives bin and hex as an output I think
-
Hex is good, but as pointed out; neither MonInfo, DumpEDID or AIDA64 will not show you the values on the eeprom itself. They all extract the registry version only. For an eeprom extract; use the DOS or Linux tools (links at the end).
The 64Hz is not a good sign, btw ...Scerate, CaerCadarn and syphear like this. -

Hey
I did not know how he would like to do it but i think this one should work - http://www.askvg.com/win32-disk-imager-write-any-bootable-image-to-usb-drive-in-windows/ -
It's ok I done it now, used 7-zip, extracted the zip then extracted the .img

Nope. You should write it to pendrive, not unpack using 7-zip. Write to pendrive using that tool and boot from usb.

Lenovo used Windows anti-theft feature to install persistent crapware:
Everything about this would explain the 'infection' we've seen so far, except the ' bios flash = fail'. Fortunately, the creator of this rootkit provides the answer in their FAQ:
Checked my 7's autochk.exe files, needless to say:
Code:sfc /VERIFYFILE=C:\Windows\System32\autochk.exe sfc /VERIFYFILE=C:\Windows\SysWOW64\autochk.exe
. No matter, removing the module alone and the ' key database' should suffice, only need to locate it first ...

Installed NVIDIA's brand new driver on the M18xR1 (never touched by Windows 10) and the M18xR2 this morning. M18xR1 is working normally. M18xR2 LCD is bricked again. Block 14 was changed from 90 to 00. The web-based EDID reader says it is good, but we know it's not. So, don't trust it 100%.
Good EDID:
