Hi everyone,
Is there any way to make a nVidia Quadro K2100M card work in a Dell Precision M4600 laptop? The card fits in the slot properly so that's not the problem. I am running the latest A16 bios on the machine. All chipset drivers are up to date as well.
The card I am trying to use came out of a M4800 machine, so I would think it should work fine, but apparently not. The bios says "unknown video card" but it lists the correct memory size for the card.
Windows will not load and gives blue screen error "hal initialization failed" upon boot.
Ubuntu will load, but only if "enable optimus" is checked in the bios. Ubuntu is able to recognize the video card in "System Profiler and Benchmark" but it cant do anything with it.
Dell's list of drivers shows a driver that works with the k2100m in a M4600 so surely there must be some way to get it to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this card to work in a M4600? Could flashing the video card bios possibly fix it? If so, where would i get the vbios file?
