    I have an alienware m5500 with win7 and am trying to get a 8600m gt working in it and all I can do is get past about 25 beeps at boot up. Then when trying to load caodmw I get an error "directx has encoutered a serious error". It boots, but cannot load game. I have tried installing the newest drivers from the nvidia website but it will not let me it stops and says it cannot find the correct drivers. Please HELP!!!!
