Hey guys, recently I purchased myself a Dell Precision M6600 with a I7-2620M, Radeon 8900M firepro and 8GB RAM. I also purchased a I7-2960XM and went about installing it after having the laptop a month or so. I have the latest bios for my laptop, A15, aswell as working drivers for all devices that are necessary.
Installing the I7-2960xm has gone well, no issues surrounding installation; when i turn on the laptop the screen turns on... or at least the backlight does, no actual post, no bios, no windows login screen. The computer successfully boots as you can hear the windows chime and you can connect via teamviewer to its screen. I was unable to get the HDMI to output (no recognition of anything being plugged in) and cannot test the VGA or Display port (no monitors that support that input).
In device manager only the integrated intel 3000 graphics adapter is detected, my old CPU did not have integrated graphics) and the drivers were downloaded by windows 10, however i rolled them back to older drivers as they didn't appear to work (turns out none of them do in my case).
My Radeon Firepro 8900m is not being detected at all, it's not in the device manager anywhere from what I can see. I'm running out of ideas as to how to get the display on the laptop itself to post, at this moment i don't care if it only recognises the intel graphics, i just want the laptop screen to post. If anyone has any suggestions please leave a message, any obvious reasons as to my problem may not be obvious to me, please go ahead and point them out. Posted below are screenshots from within the laptop of the CPU-Z information (motherboard, video output, bios info etc).
