    I have a gaming laptop -> MS 16F32 and it's initial GPU died.

    I bought a used GTX 670M from Alienware M15X laptop. Modded inf file (nvmin.inf), installed it through setup.exe, but I have many bugs with it. Games don't run like they should because I get nVidia kernel errors (stopped working and recovered itself errors). For example, when starting campaign in Crysis 3, I get nVidia error and black screen. Have to do task manager thing to terminate Crysis 3. Mortal Kombat 9 Komplete Edition I see the in-game menu screen with random blue squares on screen and shortly after I get nVidia error or the game freezes.

    What to do? Did I installed the drivers correctly? Can I flash VBIOS to my older MSI GPU and make it work like it is supposed to work?

    Any advice is appreciated.
