    Ok so I just got THE BATMAN AND IM SO EXCITED.
    I got the -S model, with the slightly upgraded everything, 250gb ssd, 1TB hdd, thermal paste, bigfoot networks card, 970m gfx, Core i7-4790 ect.
    It came blank, so I dont know what to do with installing the drivers.

    So far I ripped a clean install of win8 (was desperate) from my bro to get it working, and made sure to take out the HDD and only install with the SSD.
    So far I am able to start up with windows 8 but I cant use wifi for starters, so I literally have to download everything with another computer. I tried going to killer networking to install the bigfoot killer drive, I installed the driver with a usb stick, and restarted the computer, and nothing happened.

    so im lost.

    Basically, im downloading everything from sagers Drivers and Manual page from the p970ZM page for windows 8.1 Im assuming everything for win8.1 will work, and all I have to do is run all the .exe's from the Usb and restart.
    I still do know what Im missing. I know there is a cool control center, and idk if im supposed to download drivers for the 970gpu and for my 4790cpu. Also, I dont know what to do for the wifi card since I alredy tried to install that driver, and all it installed was a bluetooth suite (Even though the website specified it was the driver)

    Please please let me know if there is an official list of drivers in one place to get the Batman running 100%
    Im at a hotel so the sager drivers are a little slow to download, will check back tommorow, and thanks for the help!

    Congrats on the new computer!
    First thing you want to install are the chipset drivers, then GPU drivers then in any order should be fine.
    Your title says P750ZM however you typed in the you got drivers for the P970ZM. Maybe thats just a typo, but if not, make sure you get the right drivers for your computer. You can toggle through the Fn + F11 to make sure the WiFi is on.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I do have the p750zm and I am in the process of downloading the p750zm drivers from sagers website.
    Last night I checked through the list and realized how many of the drivers where actually what Im looking for.

    The only thing I need is the drivers for the chpset and the GPU. Woould you mind providing links for that?
    Or can I google "Chipset drivers for Core i7-4790" and "Nivada 970m Driver" ?
    (Im out right now so I cant look this up now, appreciate the help!)

    There is not a direct link to the drivers themselves, just to the drivers page http://www.sagernotebook.com/drivers.php?cat=607
    You can also see if there are any updated ones directly from Intel and Nvidia. But the ones from Sager should get you up and running properly.

    Rule of thumb is to install the chipset driver before installing any other driver. Since your laptop does not have Optimus, you do not need an Intel HD Graphics driver to be installed before your NVidia graphics driver (the latter can be installed at any time). The driver for your WLAN combo card will vary depending on the exact make and model of it, and it might have a driver separate for the Wi-Fi than for the Bluetooth.
    It seems a little daunting at first glance, but once you can weed through which drivers you need specifically, installing them is a breeze (like you said, just run the setup.exe for each one).
