    Hi I got a new Dell XPS 15 L502x with Nvidia 540M, I downloaded the driver from the dell site but when I try to install it the installer tells me that no compatible hardware was found? Any solution for this? I only have the Intel graphics installed at the moment.

    Is the driver not already installed? Dell ship their machines with all drivers preinstalled I thought?

    I formatted the laptop with the Win Pro CD that came with it.
