    Hi, I have an HP 8570w and recently i have bought an NVIDIA Quadro K2100M (N15P-Q3-A1).
    I have installed that graphics card into my HP 8570w but the display doesn't work, it remains black.
    I have reinstalled the original video card K1000M and all work correctly, so i don't know if the new graphic card K2100M is broken or if i have to do something to get it working (for example update or modify bios configuration).
    I have the latest Bios (version 68IAV F.43 10/08/2013), what i have to do?
    Kind regards.

    IIRC HP like to integrate the vbios into the system bios and leave out a bios on the video card, if there is no vbios chip on the original card then its a safe bet you need to unpack your system bios, integrate the vbios from the new card and then package it back up for flashing.

    I have returned the graphic card to the seller who said to me that I had to flash the vbios of the graphic card to get it works with my 8570w (he sent to me the bios file, but I did not know how to flash it).
    I don't know the chinese but I think that there is a right vbios version for the HP 8570w (with not DC display) in this forum: ¡¾Ô­´´¡¿¹ØÓÚ·ÇDCÆÁµÄ8570W 8560WÉý¼¶K2100MÏÔ¿¨VBIOSÎÊÌâ½â¾ö·½°¸ÑéÖ¤³É¹¦¹¤¾ßÇý¶¯_»ÝÆձʼDZ¾ÂÛ̳
    Is there anyone that have installed a k2100m on a HP 8570w? If it works, with which version of vbios and where I can buy it already flashed?
    Thanks in advance
