    Hello guys, I am a new member in this site. I have a problem, I installed a GF9600M GT 1GB DDR2 mxm-II card on my acer aspire 5520G. It was successful and works but the problem is every time I start the computer during the POST this message appears.

    "ERROR: MXM Structure not found or invalid.
    Reflash MXM ROM or add MXM Structure and associated callbacks to SBIOS!
    POST will be halted for 30 seconds and performance will be limited to
    balanced performance mode until this is resolved..."

    The gf9600M GT is the 1gb ddr2 version and bought it from ebay.
    My card is just running more or less half only of the default speed for core, memory and shader speed.

    It seems I need to do something to my system bios or whatever and I know that its risky and might result to corruption of the bios if not properly done.

    Can you guys help me? Because I have no background on this kind of problems.
