Clevo BIOS Thread

Hey man thnx for your reply. Im a bit OCD about flashing anything. So you are sure?

Cuz Op says:
- P750DM (Sager NP9758) / P750DM-G / P770DM (Sager NP9778) / P770DM-G / P751DM / P771DM

Note that it says P770DM-G and P771DM Without the G? Since I have P771DM-G..
Seems like mine is not listed? idk man..

 

If everything works as it should, and you're not having compatibility issues with your current hardware, you likely don't need to update.

 

Hi, i have maybe a stupid question: my modell number is
"Systemmodell P65_67RSRP"
So i must download the BIOS for the P65xRS System or for the P65xRP System?

 

What exactly do you want to do? Update your P771DM-G to the latest BIOS and EC ?

 

Yes I want to update my P771DM-G to latest bios. to see if it changes a hardware issue im having and if perhaps new options are in the bios.
What is EC?

 

There will be no new options in the BIOS, but indeed some minor hardware issues will be resolved.
I think you should look into this link:
http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P7xxDMG/

I think the latest BIOS for you is 1.05.15.
But first, you need to flash the EC, which is this one:


06/15/2016
1. EC firmware main EC 1.05.04 and 2nd EC 1.05.04 (expect P775DM1/P775DM1-G).
2. Support “Fn + d + power button load BIOS defaults” function.
3. Enter MainEC_0504 folder to refer to readme_EC.txt to update main EC firmware.
4. Enter 2ndEC_0504 folder to refer to readme_2ndEC.txt to update 2nd EC firmware.
1.05.04 P7xxDMx_E04.zip
http://repo.palkeo.com/clevo-mirror/P7xxDMG/P7xxDMx_E04.zip


First flash to the latest EC, then flash to the latest BIOS.

 

The latest version of EC FW for P7xxDM1-G is 1.05.04?

 

I believe so, the versions do not match the bios versions.

 

Latest BIOS for P7xxDM1-G is:
1.05.11
And latest EC and second EC is:
1.05.04

Can grab both here:

Thanks, all up to date.

 

Thank you for this message and all the links.

Finally got myself to update.
Everything went fine, except two things. First one is that instead of my vendor's logo I have a random "Style Note" one. This is, however, not critical and somewhat expected.
However, the second problem is more important - my screen is no longer detected as a G-sync one.

Has anyone encountered the same problem?
I've tried to reinstall drivers with DDU, also strangely I am still able to set custom refresh rates (75Hz, 90Hz...) with Nvidia Control Panel as if it was still recognized as a G-Sync panel (AFAIK this feature is only available for G-sync compatible panels).

/edit After complete driver reinstall 75 Hz is weirdly unstable with entire screen shaking, however 70 and 80 work just fine.

/edit2 looks like UEFI option is not working correctly - I found a topic where someone pointed out that in GPU-Z UEFI checkbox was disabled, so that meant that laptop loaded in legacy mode. I have UEFI boot selected, but it looks like somehow GSync configuration doesn't load properly. Should I revert to an older version of BIOS in this case? Or is it related to vBIOS? I did reflash vBIOS previously, but it was quite a long time ago, more than couple of months.

 

Let's hope someone else can help ya since it passes my knowledge area

 

Managed to solve the issue myself:
0)Initial state - BIOS 1.06.02, EC and EC2 1.06.01, vBIOS https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/186530/clevo-gtx1080mobile-8192-160706 - G-Sync not working
1)Reflashed my backuped vBIOS, DDU, driver reinstall - G-Sync not working
2)Updated BIOS to 1.06.11 - G-Sync finally worked
Source for 1.06.11 - https://clevo-computer.com/en/support-drivers/
Not sure if vBIOS update did anything, but it is mentioned on the download page that it is not UEFI compatible, so might be because of both factors.
So I leave the message in case someone encounters the same problem with their P775DM3-G

 

Friend, I did the same as you and g-sync still doesn't work: ////// Will anyone help me restore this option on the machine?
I've already lost faith: ///

I have P775DM3-g 7700k( BIOS 1.06.11, EC and EC2 1.06.01) with gtx1080 ( vbios 86.04.56.00.2A) and screen CMN N173HHE-G32....

Niaphim can you send me your good vbios?

 

Does anyone know what TCM means at end of the bios version number?

 

Yep, it's the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) state or version, it needs to be enabled for Secure Boot and makes using BitLocker more "seamless", enhancing the security of the storage of security keys
To my mind, it's not advisable to disable that, it simply weakens the security of your system.
Happy Easter

 

ok thanks

 

The problem with bitlocker is that in case anything fails in your machine it won't be possible to access your files from another PC. I might be wrong though.

 

I think you can with the recovery key if you save it?

 

Laptop is brand new, no hardware issues. The ME Disable issue has been reported by @dsanke here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...ds-now-supported.825558/page-83#post-10939871

 

I have a big problem

P775DM3-g 7700k( BIOS 1.06.11, EC and EC2 1.06.01) with gtx1080

In bios the undervolt is stuck at -100. I set 000 save exit, enter the bios and again 100. I clear windows. Does't help, clear cmos, doesn't help load defaults nothig. ?

 

@Prema removed the factory set undervolt in his mod firmware. Use ThrottleStop to manage undervolt.

 

I use throttle stop but, the voltage dropping and going up ... on XTU this same problem. Maybe i must write prema bios ? But I don't find now i Search a loot of forums.

 

Prema is already tagged. If he see it maybe he can help or come with advices.

Please feel free post pict of your ThrottleStop FIVR settings.

 

I give in Throttle stop -125 uv. but some times voltage randomly drops 1.130-1.26V

 

Have you tried with a smaller undervolt? Not all processors are made the same, some might not be able to handle the -125mV. Try with -0.75.

 

I try on 0.00 in throttle stop and Voltage Jumps around 1.26-1.36 @ 4.2 GHz when ale cores active and set 4.2 all time.

 

Voltage will spike upwards with no load. Run longer benchmark test as Cinebench R20 and follow load voltage.

Edit
Cinebench R20

 

I run the CB r20 voltage jumping aroud 0.100 i Cod Warzone same

Laptop runa all time stanie but this jumping voltage Marks me angory. In bios voltage i setup adaptive

 

Then try out override voltage in Throttlestop

 

I take 0.00 in throttle stop when I test. Think this -100 undrevolt in bios colidate

 

@Prema Can you help me ?

 

If you want to ask for his help rather than getting him to read through a thread you might want to collate your question into a post.

 

Hello. I bought an used Clevo p670se last month and notice that im not able to use its graphic card gtx970m because apparently its not compatible with win10. I'm trying to update the BIOS to see if it works with the graphic card but i also can't do it. The bios version i have installed is 1.03.07 and im trying to install 1.05.01 which is the only one i could find. I went pure dos and updated the EC but couldnt do it to the bios. Whenever i run the meset.exe the laptop shuts down and then the bootable usb post doesnt show up to install the flashme.bat. Can you guys help me updating it? Also, you guys think that updating the bios may help with the graphic card issue? Thanks in advance

 

I've got the gtx970m in my p640re running win10.
Installed latest driver straight from the NVIDIA website.

What error do you see that makes you believe it's not compatible?

For the bios update, did you disable uefi boot before trying the update ?

 

I tried the drivers on nvidia's website but it says "this nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows" and "this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". I contacted nvidia but they said i should contact the manufacter and check what i should update before the graphic card.
Considering that this laptop was originally a win 7/8, i thought that updating the bios would make everything compatible with the new system.
Yes, i disabled the uefi before updating

 

You might just need to install a modded driver,

Try the method Peeling posted here :
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/need-driver-for-doom-eternal-442-74-for-gtx880m.832252/

 

I tried this the other time and the graphic card updated successfully, but everytime i needed the card to work, it crashed :/ i had to restore windows to get the factory version installed that at least isnt crashing. My only hope was that updating the bios it would be fixed, but even the bios couldnt be updated.

Edit: i made this video when trying to update the bios. am i doing this right?
i believe this is the right way as i successfully updated the firmware this way. anyway, if this is wrong that may be the reason i couldnt update the bios.

Edit 2: I tried updating only the flashme.bat without the meset.exe and this is wahts happens:

pdr region does not exist
gbe region does not exist

any thoughts on how to solve it?

 

Could this work in my case? I dont know what efi shell does so im not sure if this is helpful to solve my problem.

 

Consider this Nvidia driver website as well: https://laptopvideo2go.com/

 

I've got an Eluktronics Eluktro Pro P775TM1-G (8700k and GTX 1080) with the following BIOS and KBC/EC versions:

BIOS: 1.05.02TEI
KBC/EC: 1.05.02

What is the best way to update these? It is out of warranty with Eluktronics.

 

You can flash XMG bios for XMG ultra 17, works fine for me.

 

Regarding this issue, I have been able to persistently disable Intel ME on my P775TM1 using 1.07.27 dsanke BIOS.

1. After flashing the BIOS I forced optimized setup defaults to load, by pressing F3. This fixed other issues as well.
2. Configured the BIOS as I would like, then used mesetx64 to disable ME.
3. Entered Setup-> Advanced -> PCH-FW Configuration. Set ME Status to 'Disable' and 'Unconfigure ME on RTC Clear' to 'Disable'. Pressed F4 and system rebooted.
4. Immediately powered down the system and powered it on again. Intel ME remained disabled at each cold boot.

 

I have a Clevo P650RG that currently can't make the touchpad work. Installed tons of drivers, but the only time it works is when I uninstall the device. Once I reboot, poof, gone. Could it be the BIOS or EC/KBC firmware? I currently have these:

MB Series: P65_P67RGRERA
BIOS Version: 1.05.18
KBC/EC Firmware Revision : 1.05.07

Thanks in advance!

 

If it is ever working when uninstalling/installing driver - it's driver issue for sure.. Try disabling windows automatic driver installation/download, enable windows test mode and disable driver signing, clean/delete drivers and do fresh install.

 

^ Good idea to have an external mouse handy when you do this. You'll lose touchpad functionality until the new driver 'takes'.

 

Apologies for a late reply. Here is the one I have now (GTX 1080) and since when I bought my laptop.

 

Thanks for the reply mate. I will definitely try that when I get the time. But shouldn't I have the same version for both KBC/EC and BIOS ? I bought the laptop with them being both 1.05.07, but out of desperation for some problem it had I updated the BIOS (later found out it was the store that messed up). However information about KBC/EC is very scarce to say the least, and I don't have that muchknowledge about the subject tbh

 

No, it doesn't relate to bios / EC issues.. Also they are not supposed to be of the same version #..
