    So i figured this would be the place to ask the question, i installed an hdx 8800m gts in my clevo m570ru and the computer does not display anything it just stays black. I know i will have to flash the bios on the card I just need an idea of what bios i can use that would work and any other tips.

    The 8800M from the HDX is HP proprietary. The odds of you getting it to work is very low. Just as the odds of getting a non-HP MXM III/HE card in HDX to work has proven to be basically non-existent. We've been trying for more than a year now in the HDX owner's thread and so far, no go. Even BIOS work hasn't proven successful.

    I'd sell it and get a normal 8800M GTS/GTX. But if you really want to experiment, you would need the BIOS from a Sager/Clevo that had an 8800M GTX in it. You could try that but likely it wouldn't work.
