    Okay i just made a new post for clearing things up .

    First let me tell how it started .
    I bought a month ago a BTO 17CL46 aka Clevo P170EM
    The gpu was a GTX675M , a few weeks later on i orderd a HD7970M from eurocom , they told me everything should work and should fit .
    Which it does for the fitting part ,

    Let me summon the list what i have done .

    *Update the bios to 1.00.4
    *Update the EC to 1.00.5

    Done this with the 675m installed .

    *When i was done with this i took out the GTX675M and installed the HD7970M

    First went just fine , did go straight into the bios for checking out if the bios saw the HD7970M and he does .
    Then the nightmare came , Nothing bloody f*cking (sorry for my language ) works . Eurocom did send me a disc with the 12.5 drivers on the same as what clevo and bto have uploaded on there site . So i tried to installed these the follow things happend ;

    1: Installed whent fine but when i had to reboot (did this setup for 3 times ) i got everytime a crashed system @ the loading screen from windows 7 64 bit .

    2: Afther one night spending trying to figure out what is was i decide to do a fresh install , now i did the disc first once agian this time the install whent fine afther the install it doenst say i need to reboot and if i check device manager it says the device works properly . When i shut it down and turn it back on or just re-boot i get in device manager Code 43 Device stopped working .

    I trieded every single posebillity that is posted on the net so far .
    Like :

    * Drag the setup 12.5 driver from the disc of to you HDD and install it from there with only the display driver and the rest deslected this work until i reboot i get the same bull with code 43 .

    * also tried to install stock drivers dont reboot and then install 12.6 or 12.7 overit and then reboot doesnt work .

    * if i do install the stock drivers from the disc and i install the fullpackage then i get a blue screen of death or the i get stock with a black window and a white stripe thats blinking .

    SO im realy realy clueless what to do ? the wiered thing is i can install all the drivers like 12.6 and 12.7 the none mobility and it does sees the card but tells me that code 43 is there . But when i use the download tool from AMD it says that there is none card decteded ?

    Sorry for the long post but if there is some one that can think with me i would appreciate it allot .Because i payed allot of money to get it here .
    And im at the point of pulling my hair out .

    Ps : when i installed a drive and i dont reboot or i do one out of the 5 times it does take the boot and i open GPU-z i get :

    * Default clock -1
    * Core clock -1
    * Memory -1

    did you repaste? haha, that would explain the crash. its also possible they thought you said p170hm and sent you a 7970m with enduro disabled.
