    I have finally got my P770ZM-G updated/upgraded to be close to what I had with my P750ZM that died. It is running with the following:

    4790K
    32GB Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz RAM
    980M
    Samsung 950 Pro - 512GB
    1TB 7200 rpm HD
    2TB 5900 rpm HD (pulled from a Seagate Backup Plus Slim case)


    When I bought this replacement system, it had the following:

    4790k
    16GB Samsung 1600Mhz
    970M - G-Sync w/ Prema vBIOS
    1TB 7200 rpm HD

    Should I "attempt" to flash the 980m to Prema's vBIOS? I don't know how to do that but I am sure that I could figure it out. :)

    Now I just need to find what to do with the spare parts I have sitting around. 4790 cpu, 32GB of Samsung 1600 RAM, 1TB 7200 rpm HD, 970m G-Sync with Prema vBIOS, 4k screen from my P750ZM and a few other things. Suggestions?

    You may find his system bios and vbios combined would remove the driver issues. Make sure you get a vbios that matches the card (don't flash a non g-sync card with a g-sync bios and vice versa).

    Congrats on getting it back together!

    When you had it on on the "Price Check Forum" I sent you a PM, PM'd again, I might be interested in some parts.
