Kaby Lake BIOS updates P775DM3-G & P751DM2-G

I have the latest official Clevo BIOS's for the P775DM3-G & P751DM2-G

They are all in the one RAR file with instructions.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6ljdabsfoz4qy3d/7th_Gen_Flash.rar

The latest BIOS for the P870DM2/3 are also in there but there appears to be an issue with installing GPU drivers after the update on that model

 

What do you think of this @Prema

 

Well they're not going to be as good as his, but they are the official ones for those of us who don't have access to his BIOS's

 

XMG has also posted KBL Bios updates on their driver repository

 

but why were you not able to install the Graphics Driver after the BIOS update? that's what worries me

 

I prefer not to have the XMG splash screen, especially if I have to ship them back for repair

 

I don't know, that's the warning that came in the text document with the BIOS updates. Only appears to affect the P870 and I won't have 1 of those in until Tuesday to update.

I was also told that the P870 needed a new set of drivers after the update (not sure how true that is) which I should also have on Tuesday

Updated the GPU on my P775DM3-G after the BIOS update with no problems.

 

Make sure to stick to each vendors flashing instructions to the dot or the system will brick during the process.
They are rather old...better stick to the XMG posted versions IF you have a KB chip.
These firmware may introduce more throttle than what certain user are seeing now and returning to old base can brick the system. These are only really for KB support, so don't try to fix what ain't broke.

 

These are the latest ones sent out from CLEVO, BIOS 1.06.04 and EC 1.06.02 for the P775DM3-G, so not sure how they can be 'rather old'

 

Version included in the RAR archive for P75xDM2-G are:
BIOS 1.06.02
EC 1.06.01
EC2 1.06.01

 

The ones for the P775DM3-G are the same as the ones on the XMG site

 

Hi , i have updated my 775dm3-g , and i lost GSYNC

With this update , you have XMG splash screen ?

 

No, this is a BIOS update direct from Clevo

 

After update , in your 775DMG3 , GSYNC still rules ok ?

 

Don't know. I have a non G-Sync UHD screen

 

Are newest EC worth to update, as i have a old one and it's REALLY damn loud, to the point i almost don't want to play anymore. And control center of course has no effects whatsoever.

 

Just installed a G-Sync UHD screen and it's working fine with G-Sync

 

You should be able to, and I would recommend getting the latest EC and BIOS from DVC i.e. your reseller.

 

I don't need to. This is already the latest one available and is the correct one for my Laptop

 

Flashed the XMG Kabby Lake bios/ec to my Sager and now when I launch a game it blanks out and fans go to 100%... I have many regrets

 

Mine came with the standard Clevo BIOS, no Sager, or XMG so this one works perfectly for that. For your system you should probably have waited for a Sager BIOS

 

hey guys, also had no G-sync on my system after update. tried to downgrade back and i think it's bricked now.

any suggestions?

@Prema perhaps?

 

Oh crap. Never try to downgrade across different EC's.

 

People always ask:

"Why do you not list all the files for people to flash"

The above is why. Please contact your reseller for updates, they will hand you the right file.

 

@Meaker@Sager @Prema

is there a way to recover the bios?

 

Not that I know of, sorry. AFAIK you will now need a motherboard replacement. I would contact your reseller.

 

These are complete new code bases that require BIOS/ME&EC to match. If we only do partial flashes, well...now you know what happens.

Mail me the details and files of what exactly you flashed and in which order, I'll check tomorrow and see if there is still hope.

 

i did not flash the ME part, unfortunately and EC was a new version only EC2 was flashed back to older one.

 

EC2 can't brick the system...I need exact revisions to help you.

 

this was flashed as EC P7xxDM3G_EC10601

and this was the bios P7xxDM3G_B10602

when downgrading i used 1.05.06 version, but forgot to use MEset before flashing.

 

OK, rename the 1.0 6.01 BIOS file to 'P7xxDM3.BIN', but it on a (FAT32) USB stick and boot with 'FN' and 'B' buttons pressed.
In recovery mode do not load setup defaults or make any changes other than executing recovery flash.

 

fn+b does nothing on that p775dm3. but now trying fn+B on p870dm2 i bricked that one too. bad luck today...

fn+B should be working without the USB installed right? thats how it worked on the p870dm2, which i bricked that way.

 

Why did you try and downgrade the DM2?

 

with p870dm2 i did not downgrade. i bricked it with FN+B. i could not get out of the recovery menu even after reboot, so i went into recovery and it flashed something out of the blue, without any USB stick or BIN file. kinda stupid, if you ask me...

 

@Prema

do i stand correct that FN+B should bring recovery menu even if i did something wrong creating that USB?

 

ok, great news: p775dm3 is up and working after CMOS battery reset!

bad news: p870dm2 is sill playing dead on me...

 

​

 

thankfully this time downgrading went well. you can call me a "guinea pig", haha

Too many heart attacks for one day.. Stop bricking your high end laptops

 

Hello,

Anyone know what to do about VGA drivers for the P870DM3-G upgraded to a i7-7700k and the clevo Kaby Lake BIOS?

 

Yes use the modified inf and driver signing disable.

 

First:
How to disable Driver Signature Enforcement

launch command prompt as administrator then paste this command:

Code:

bcdedit /set testsigning on

Then reboot

After you install the driver, reboot, then re-enable Driver Signature Enforcement again to get rid of the annoying text in the bottom right of your screen which says you are in tesitng mode

to do this, launch command prompt as admin again and pate the following command then reboot:

Code:

bcdedit /set testsigning off

Use this modified INF. Place it in the display.driver folder overwriting the existing file

To extract the entire GeForce driver.exe to a folder, right click on it and choose Extract to XXX where XXX is the folder name grabbed from the actual file name. you need WinRAR or 7-Zip to do this

Download Modified INF File

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. It appears that Windows update also finds the necessary drivers.
I have one issue. Which ever drivers I install one of the GPUs refuses to work and it give me error 43 in device manager.

 

you never want ANY driver from Windows update

disconnect from your network to prevent the auto installation of the driver once you reboot after the uninstallation

uninstall your current driver using DDU in safe mode, make sure you don't have any Windows password otherwise you will be locked out forever in safe mode and your password won't work

then install the 376.60 driver again

select custom install, then uncheck 3D Vision Driver and GeForce experience as the GeForce Experience in that driver is old

also tick the box which says clean install

 

wait... upgrading to Kaby lake on p870dm3 gives problems with Nvidia drivers been installed?

 

Yes. Nvidia needs to add new device IDs.

 

Ok. So I reinstalled windows, did not connect to Internet, installed the modified inf drivers and I still get the same code 43 error on one of the GPUs. Should I consider that there is hardware damage on one of the GPUs?
Might there have gone something wrong during the bios update procedure that allowed me to install a 7700k cpu?
Please help. Thanks.

 

You might want to check you re-assembled everything correctly such as the aux power plugs and sli cable.

 

Bummer, I installed the new KabyLake Bios and Windows 7 went blue on startup saying "the bios is not ACPI compliant" Duhh. I hate win 10, but I probably will do a @Mr. Fox Win 10 Install USB and give it a try. Can't go back to an older Bios anymore. Unless @Prema knows a safe downgrade procedure...

 

So, this is just a quick update:


It appears that my slave GPU is dead. Having read online that the issue might be because of static build-up in the system I went ahead and removed both GPUs, swapped between each other and then reset the CMOS. Upon boot, I was greeted by a screen full of messed up pixels. None of the display outputs worked and I still got that error in the device manager only that this time it was with the other GPU.


I than swapped back to the original configuration the two GPUs and the display started working again normally so my only conclusion is that the slave GPU is dead/faulty/about to die.


Hope this helps anyone in this situation.
