    Hi. Is there any custom bios etc. that can help me? Some time ago I installed newest official bios (BIOS217 from 2013), but I still can't update drivers. Now I can't even try to launch new games :/ (it says that I have too old drivers). My BIOS/EC 1.02.17/1.02.11

    Maybe you should consider downloading the latest Bios from Schenker XMG's Homepage or better get Prema's Bios (and donate him a little bit).

    Let us know how it went.

    Edit: according to XMG the Bios/EC you are sporting should be the latest "official" ones.

    So if you are downloading and installing the latest Nvidia drivers, what error messages do you get?

    That's usually a hardware error...maybe take the card out and clean the contacts.
