    Can you be more specific about what did not work? What steps did you follow? Don't skip any like disabling driver signing enforcement.

    Are you sure the card is ok? Also alwats go through what you have done if you know a little more, we can't just assume you are taking the right steps and know what you are doing.

    No.
    You're mistaken, the detection of the card will work fine when installing the card with a wrong section, you will have no error 43. However if you do any rendering your boost clocks will bug and cause glitches like boosting on max speed when idle and go to idle speed when doing something demanding. Error 43 is either a hardware defect or you didn't connect the card properly into your notebook.

    I suggest for now to take the 870M out, clean the connections with isopropylalcohol and reinsert the card properly, tighten (dont overtighten) the screws properly and see if the card runs after that.

    How about checking it for yourself? try installing 970M/1060 with wrong section number intentionally. that is not hardware fault at all. why? because both cards returned error 43 when i tried to install with wrong section number.

    j95's inf mod doesnt makes this issue.

    i never "assumes" my hardware/software errors, i always test and try multiple solutions.

    i am sure card is okay. already tried writing vbios and it worked. which means the communication between card and my laptop motherboard is fine.

    I have done that tons of times, you don't need to tell me to check anything. I do .inf mods and vBios mods several times a week due to the high request here on the forums. The only time you get Error 43 is broken hardware, broken contact, broken vBios or fresh installed driver without rebooting your system. A wrong section will never cause Error 43. @KY_BULLET is one of the guys who I helped with this in the past and he will gladly confirm the card never reported Error 43 after a wrong section flash.

    I dont care how many times you have installed with your inf mods. just try it and talk about it.

    This is not a hardware problem as i said. if this is hardware problem i shouldnt able to write vbios to this card.

    It means you can write to the flash chip on the card, not that the core is working ok. It could have failed meaning the drivers won't load.

    Also by assume I mean I can't just assume people know what they are doing unless they explicitly prove so in their OP, you did not so I asked the basic questions first.

    I can't put the cart before the horse.

    That's why my highly modded notebook works and you can't handle a single GPU upgrade :cool:

    if the core dies when you tries to install driver itself by any ways, your OS must be crashed. or, any other symptoms like unrecognizable by BIOS/OS itself.

    no, the card itself is fine and okay. so please stop asking about card's status.

    No, the card can appear and boot fine and 3d load tip it over after moving past software rendering. Different symptoms this time but if a fully unlocked inf is not working it's a bad sign.

    No, most GPU failures appear for the most time when trying to install drivers. :rolleyes:

    @Meaker@Sager I think this is like trying to help a brick wall. lets tell him its the sector and then let him go through million numbers, maybe he will give up.

    Okay. so another main reason that i think this card fine is it ran w/o any hassle on P150SM-A laptop. so please stop asking about if card is dead or not. card is not dead.

    so nobody answers to my original question instead claiming card is dead without any sort of evidences? Great.

    I don't think the 7 or 8 series Kepler rebrands ever worked on EM series on stock system BIOS. And I don't know if Prema's mod was ever finished and released.

    6, 9 and 10 series all work fine

    Nope no error 43 at all. This was on an 9 year old D900F with a 680m. Listen to these guys, they know what they're talking about.

    I think you might be correct on this one. At least I don't remember a single EM that ran any GTX 7xx or GTX 8xx card.

    I'm also pretty sure Prema said that it basicially isn't possible to get these cards to work in the HM + EM models unless you do some risky hardware/software modding.

    Yeah you tend to forget older models since the new market is basicially overflowing with new notebooks. So in a nutshell unless your name is Prema you won't get the 870M working in a P150EM ever,

    I had an EM around when they first came out, it's crazy how long ago that was now.

    Why would anyone want to upgrade from a 675MX to a 870M anyways?

    The 675MX is faster than a stock 870M with the proper vBios. o_O
