    I have a Clevo P370sm3 with 970m sli and Prema Bios and I cant seem to install newer drivers for the graphics cards. My current version is 353.82.

    I have tried installing them from Nvidia website and nothing works. I know I need to modify a certain file, I did this before but it was many man years ago, I know its a INF file.

    My current specs are below,
    windows 8.1 64bit
    17.3 inch screen the 120hz version
    i7 4710qm
    16gb ram 1600mhz
    970m sli
    17.3 inch screen the 120hz version
    x2 2tb 5400rpm and x2 500gb SSD raid 0 for the OS
    the bios are custom prema bios for the p370sm3

    There was an incompatibility between the Prema video BIOS and NVIDIA drivers after 359.00. He released an update to address this. Download the latest version from him and flash your cards.

    Indeed, but OP you need to mod the inf file or drivers won't install... Laptopvideo2go has modded inf files so extract the driver and replace the inf with the one from them..
