    my new hp fx3600m came in the mail the other day and now i precede to get it to work on my sager np5793 or clevo m570ru-u and so far its driving me crazy im stuck right now with no display and once my computer makes it through post it starts beeping every second for about 30 seconds and then turns off i found out that there is a VGA fan alarm which is causing this to happen, i put my dead video card back in there and it works fine just have no display at all. i have no idea what to do i cant flash the vbios on the fx3600 to a 9800m gt because it shuts down so fast. i did manage to blind flash the bios with the dead video card in it but once i put the new one in there i get no where. im guessing the card is not on the right vbios to be compatible because my VGA fan is not spinning unless i turn it on, yet when i put the 8800m gtx in which is dead the fan turns on. so far i have nvflash on a flash card and its bootable but i must be using the wrong bios or not the right commands. i have no idea what im doing wrong, this is frustrating as hell. please give me your input on how to properly do it cause i know people have successfully done it.
