m5500 vga bios flash help

[raaaaaaaandy]

I have a Alienware m5500r3 I changed the bios on my 9300m GS so it will beep for 1 sec and removed the throttle clock speed, now I just need to flash the BIOS.

I have made a USB flash boot disk with the BIOS, Nvflash etc set USB to be first in boot priority.

The laptop starts shows alienware logo then _ flashes on the screen, when I press keyboard buttons it beeps.

Can anyone please help.

I made a dos boot cd and copied my new bios and nvflash.

I typed the nvflash -4 -5 -6

but it asks me to confirm that I want to flash the BIOS

just above that it says

Firmware image PCI Subsystem ID (10DE.0000)

does not match adapter PCI Subsytem ID (1584.2295).

So should I flash it or have I made a mistake with the Hex editing or using Nbitor.

I used quipsters guide to change the BIOS beeping to 1 second and copied 3d clocks to throttle clocks in Nbitor.

Yeah, it seems like you did everything correctly and you are good to go. So far I flashed 3 different cards on 2 different notebooks,

and I have always gotten this warning message so far.

It is important though that the checksum of the Bios is correct.

I hope you double-checked that. Now it only takes the courage to press the 'Y'-key,

and after 10-15 exciting seconds the flash procedure should be over.

Thanks, it worked, it now just beeps twice at most, and I have the full speed of the graphics card. Only problem is that I cant install the latest nvidia drivers in Windows 7 64 bit, even manually searching for the driver does not work.

The desktop drivers worked, so if you can't get notebook drivers to work try the desktop ones.
