    I recently purchased a Clevo p750zm, which is running phenomenally. However, it came without a CPU or GPU, so I'm currently borrowing an old 765m (pulled out of a Dell machine) in the Clevo.

    Everything booted up just fine, and the BIOS recognizes the 765m. The HWInfo application also recognizes the 765m, so I figured that was a good sign, unfortunately, I don't think that's the case.

    When I tried manually installing the drivers, I was given "the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". So, I decided to go the "Geforce Experience" route, where it finds the drivers for you. I got a similar error there as well. Finally I tried downloading dell drivers thinking they may be different, no dice there either.

    I looked around the devices and features, and I can't seem to find the 765m. I figured it would be under display or something... but no go.

    Anywho, was just curious if anyone had any advice. If not, not that big of a deal. At least it's running ^^

    I was finally able to find someone with a similar issue, and it had a nice detailed description I could follow along. Unfortunately, it appears it did not fix things in totality. I am still receiving the following error, after following the advice on these two threads:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/installing-nvidia-drivers-by-modding-inf-files.746245/

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...-drivers-that-are-considered-unsigned.762824/

    Attached will be a picture of current error.

    Would appreciate the help, been spending far too much time trying to figure this out.
