    original gpu is 880m

    is the gt72 edp panel or lvds?
    there are a few model of gt72 with lvds panel, pascal does not work with the lvds connection


    you might also want to grab the gt72vr vbios and flash it on that 1070

    Sounds more like the card is dead; if it was a BIOS issue directly it probably wouldn't boot at all, or would just show black screen. Unless even using the iGPU it still doesn't display anything?
