NEED HELP!! P375SM - Upgrade From 8970m To GTX980M

Hello everyone!!

I've changey my crossfire 8970m to a 980m, everything is butter smooth games, temperature!!

But when i go to bios it says unknown card!!

Is there something that i should do to make it regonize?!! will it be a problem?!?!

Should i put a new vbios or change something in my notebook bios?? right now i'm using prema V2 and here is the card!!

And when i'm in windows the brightness doesn't work

Any ideas?!?!?

Any help would be awesome!!

 

Don't worry about bios. We all have the same "unknown card".

 

It's normal and don't have any effect on GPU working.

 

Hmm but what about the screen brightness problem? i cannot change it!?!

 

But the brightness doesnt work on windows 10, i cannot change it!

 

Do you have hotkey installed? Or, sometimes, FN change not working and only way is using hotkey slider.

 

Yeah the problem is that WINDOWDS dont let me change the brightness

 

Tried everything, uninstall reinstall using DDU removed generic pnp monior reinstall the hotkey but nothing is working :/ this is horrible cause i like the brightness in 75%

 

Do you have Prema BIOS and vBIOS?

Hey man thanks for the help and yeah changed the vbios and still no brightness :/

 

OK!! new update!!

Found this here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...obile-gpus/brightness-controls-not-working/4/

AND yeah it F***ing work!!

Now i'm trying to figure out why the FN commands do not work and when i put in 0% the screen goes all black and if there's something to block me doing this!!

 

What version of the stock BIOS is that BIOS based off of, and which OS are you running?

 

Hi there man... well i´m not using any stock bioses... all of them are from Prema the P375sm and the 980m

 

Right, I got that. But if the Premamod is built over (not sure if that's the appropriate term to use) the Clevo 1.03.xx BIOS/EC or older, and if you're running Windows 10, that might have something to do with your loss of hotkey functionality.

 

Oh sorry i think is based on EC-03 (not so sure) cause it worked before i used to have two 8970m and everything worked fine..

Will look into it when i get home right now i´m at work :/

 

Yeah 1.03.01





Is it good?!

 

It's good for Windows 8 or older. But that's assuming it's based on the Clevo version designed for Win 8. I'm not as familiar with the workings of the Prema BIOS. Typically 1.05.xx is designed for Windows 10.

 

Hmm, i wish there was a bios with this update from prema.... i would even pay for someone to build a good custom bios!

But who to trust this, and in case of failure my board would become a paperweight

 

True, a bad flash will leave you with more problems than what you started with.

 

Right now i have one of those boards with a bad bios... i have no idea how i will fix it...

 

For anyone who did this change and had issues with brightness i've created an script with autohotkey that acts exacly like the Fn brightness key the difference is that i now use the Winkey, for me is working perfectly

This is the script u can compile it with Ahk2Exe and in the end of the script just thange the location of the icon to a directory path of your choice, the ico file is going too.
