    I don't understand...
    you could flash the 9800M GT bios on it but using a compatible pc or maybe trying a blind flash..
    Have you managed to mount it?

    This thing is starting to get annoying, i contacted clevo europe, and they said if i have a a card that came from the m57tu which is the case then i would need to change the bios. But i have to contact the store who sold me the card first to see what will they say....

    I think that It's better you, not to wait that store and blindly flash the 9800M GT bios once you have fixed the card in the pc (assuming that it won't be recognized..)

    So let me see, i can get the heatsink from clevo itselft, after getting it that means i can install the card properly on my m860tu. Thats about what i know how to do right now. how do i then flash the bios?
