    Hello
    I have a problem with the Clevo P150em
    I have installed various drivers, old ones, Windows 7 SP1 , Widows 10 and the same problem. Graphics card error and no sleep and hibernation and trouble with Wi-Fi
    long time to connect around 4/5 min.
    After installing the drivers most often, the laptop stops responding when the Windows LOGO is displayed. It also happens that it will enter the desktop and then a black screen will appear with the cursor in the upper left corner.
    When trying to install new drivers, for example, Intel pops up a window: "Your computer does not meet the minimum hardware requirements"

    After analyzing the problem, I came to the conclusion that it was a power problem and it was not a fault of power supply or motherboard just Prema Bios.
    My version is: 1.02.17PM v2 Ver 4.6.5.3
    If the bios is bad and you have the same opinion, then please provide a link to the latest version and explain step by step how to upload it.

    Another issue is graphics drivers

    Which drivers are best for HD7970m

    amd-catalyst-9.1.0.0

    amd_catalyst-12.4.0

    amd_catalyst-15.7.1

    Or maybe with crimson you are acting eg

    amd crimson -17.7.2

    Maybe I need to change the bios in the graphics card
    to the drivers from Crimson to work with HD7970m
    Let's know whether someone succeeded and thanks to him running Battlefield 1
    If so please write down how to step by step.

    Hi Onemenhalogen,

    Have you tried a clean install without installing any Radeon drivers, and only relying on the iGPU. I used that method on my P150EM and i found my GPU had died that way with some help from these forums. It might help you isolate the issue a little better.

    As for that third link of the Xeon PCI Express Root Port, I have the exact same thing showing. I would say thats normal.
    It may just be a Motherboard part that was compatible from Xeon parts and they saved some money. Someone here might know better and give more clarification.

    Ccleaner from augustus 2017 contains malware.
    Raptr in this month(sep 2017) will be shutted down.
    Some nVidia stuff on AMD platrofm? [​IMG]

    If win7 x64 then:
    1. Install DDU
    2. Reboot->F7->Save Mode
    3. Uninstall drivers amd, intel
    4. Try drivers:
    -intel win64_153345.4653
    -amd 17.9.1
    5. Report back

    HI Husar
    I have tried clean installation and only version 152812 works
    There is even an option of chibernation but still no sleep.
    No longer talk about my HD7970 which is not working and should.


    Hi Kothletino
    Thanks for the info but I'm up to date, so I'm using the proven version of Ccleaner 5.29.
    This save mode is related to DDU?
    You are the first person to give any of the following :)
    But I'm convinced that this will not work.
    The HD7970m is a good card so Crimson does not work with this card.
    Because then its parameters would have improved by some 15/20%
    And no one would buy a new laptop when it works on everything ULTRA
    I was watching YouTube and Crimson's solution but none of it worked.
    And that is why I do not play BF1 because it requires the latest drivers: /

    But if you're sure what you're writing, I'll check your settings even though it's a blue screen.

    I strongly believe that your "motherland language" will help Us to find better understanding of the problem. Priv here or there Proszę. [​IMG]

    I am pretty sure that it's not a problem with or within prema's bios but may have to do with "ULPS".

    You could try to wipe your gpu drivers with DDU, and while in save mode, try to install the newest crimson drivers, worked perfectly with my P151em and 7970m

    If this doesn't work, something MIGHT be broken and I don't think it's gonna be some software-thing :(

    Hi there,

    It's been a long time (years) since I've logged into here. Anyway it appears I cannot log into Prema's mods site anymore. I have a Clevo P150EM and I'd like to know where you got your Premo mod 1.02.17PM v2 Ver 4.6.5.3?
    Is there any newer version released currently? I'm having difficulty locating where all the Premo mods can be found specially for the P150EM model.

    Thanks a lot and hope someone can reply. Is Prema still around and active somewhere where I can ask him questions?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. Would you happen to now where I can message him directly? Sorry for this noob question but I've not been on the forums lately for a long time now so I wouldn't have any idea where to message him directly.

    I really need to get my hands on whatever latest mod there is available for my Clevo P150EM - it's been a very good laptop for me and still working perfectly for me even after 5 years of service. I wonder what is the last version mod for this model that has been released since then.
