GT 555M driver not picking up card

[Mazzacre]

My guide is going to have to wait until the weekend, I am swamped with work. For a quick guide, look up "Installing Nvidia Drivers, Have Disk Method" tutorials on youtube.

I spent over 2000 dollars 2356.38 dollars to be exact. If I can't load drivers or Dell tech either.surely this laptop is not ready for prime time. It shouldn't be rocket science. And the m14x was sent back for a full refund.

i'd suggest trying to role back to a more different bios version. The bios that the M17x r-3 currently is shipping with is bios version A09 and it limits the HD speeds to SATA II instead of SATA III. Previous Bios don't do that so people have to role back to A08 to get it to work again. Perhaps something similar is happening with the m14x because it appears you are not be the only one with this issue. I could be wrong though, but I just wanted to try to help you out.

Edit: Nvm it appears you already sent it back

heeeeeeyyyyy, i guess dell FINALLY listened to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyone with the m14x check out your Drivers and Downloads | Dell [United States]

and whatll ya know, a08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and guess what else, no more video card "!" in device manager! im going to mess around with drivers real quick and post my findings. its still a little sad that they couldnt have communicated the update with me after all the complaining i did about it...but yes, i can confirm that with my service tag, a08 has officially been released.

looks like dell isnt ALL that bad afterall.

anyone feel free to post a new thread stating a08 has been released...anyone with older m14's please confirm that it shows up with your service tag.

my laptop wouldn't even detect the geforce gt555m card when I got it the other day, and after I downloaded the ao8 bios, it detected it and I could play the old republic on high settings.

i still can't download drivers tho

Dell support called this morning to apply the new bios update.I told him I returned.

very surprised they called to let me know.

well it appears the a08 did not fix.

heres my problem in further detail.
in device manager i show standard vga graphics adapter in "!" device cannot start, code 10.
i try update driver manually by doing "let me choose" and then "have disk" and navigate to whatever nvidia folder the nvam.inf file is in...selected and open, then select gt555m and i find about 5 or more of the same 555m, every one that i select it says it "does not support this type of windows". even though ive downloaded the drivers from dell and nvidia for the windows 7 x64, i still get the error on all drivers i select.

this just sucks, ill never go into driver updates again, this is just ridiculous

Well if you want to change anything, there are still time as long as the Order statue hasnt been update to the "In Production" if it still "Order Received" then you can still change it by call Dell NOW.
