    Hi

    With the 13.4 drivers I were able to modify my bios.

    I did that 10 times under dos and then i tried it once with atiwinflash and it failed!

    The screen stays black and it won't boot from any device (USB, floppy, HDD, SSD)

    Is there a kind of crisis disk for Clevos because I already tried the Crisis disk with Fn+B, Fn+ESC and Fn+F but it won't even start when I press Fn and I tried to blind flash but it seems that I can't boot from USB or floppy without working gpu. I think it gives out an errorbefore boot from any device would be possible.

    Thanks in advance

    Your best bet is to ask a buddy/reseller with a CrossFire capable notebook to insert your card in his second slot. He then needs to flash the card for you.

    Hi

    Thanks for your answer! I already tried to find someone with an SLI or Crossfire-capable laptop but that sounds easier than it is

    The other option is to get a machine with a muxed connector like the 5935G that still activates the dGPU but defaults to the IGP.
