    1333Mhz DDR3 shows as 667MHz

    Hi guys, I have an alienware Mx17 R2 that I upgraded with 16GB of RAM (1333MHz DDR3) a few months ago, from Crucial. However, I just checked using CPU-Z and speccy and they both show that the RAM speed is 667 MHZ which is very strange. I could supply also a foto of the RAM chips if needed...

    5870m xfire disabled.

    Yes, the vgas are connected with the xfire cable. Maybe I should try again unistall all drivers and use driver sweeper and ccleaner and see what happens, but still I am not very confident that it work...let's see. Cheers

    5870m xfire disabled Hi guys, I have an alienware m17x R2. I recently installed a secondary 5870M but the xfire is disabled. I can see the 2nd vga through the device manager but that's all. CCC also displays the secondary adapter as disabled. Tried lots of stuff to make this work...

    ATI 5870m Bad Bios Flash

    Alright. Thank you all for your answers till this point. I will probably attempt to link 1->8 pins and remove the link once the machine boots up to the BIOS. I can't see any other solution at the moment, and I will have to try at least that, since I spent a good amount of money on this. :(

    ATI 5870m Bad Bios Flash

    Foto of the VGA Card This is the card. If anyone can tell me which one is the VBIOS chip and if it's possible to do the 1st to 8th bridged pins trick to be able to reflash it, would be really nice. Many thanks guys! http://s22.postimg.org/awk21174x/ATI_5870_M.jpg

    ATI 5870m Bad Bios Flash

    There is nothing wrong with my primary 5870M. I own a m17x R2 Alienware and I wanted to put a 2nd one in xfire. I had updated the primary one with the latest VBIOS recommended from Dell. I could see that the card was Rev A01. The 2nd card I bought is Rev A02. I tried to flash the same VBIOS...

    ATI 5870m Bad Bios Flash

    Hi guys. I messed up while flashing a BIOS from ASUS for 5870m to mine which was made for Dell Alienware. The card is now completely dead. If i plug it in, the boot process will not even load the motherboard's BIOS which means that I can't boot from another device and re-flash. I have...
