Alienware M15x, Windows 7 Ultimate, nVidia
Hello,
A couple of years ago, I purchased and Alienware M15x, I have not had problems with it until recently, which I was forced to clean the hard drive, and re install Windos 7 Ultimate. After that I downloaded the drivers, when I got to the nVidia drivers it said "No nVidia hardware detected, Installation will now abort". So I did some research, and came to updating the BIOS, which I also did as well, and on the other forum it said that the hardware will show on the BIOS, well it doesn't. It is NOT showing up on the BIOS I installed the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730, then my computer is HD again, but when I wanted to play a game I realised that I do need the nVidia driver, I uninstalled the ATI mobility Radeon and attempted to install the nVidia, which my computer came with nVidia GeForce GTX 260M. Does anyone have any solutions? I also want to know what all drivers a recommended after re installing Windows 7 Ultimate. I refuse to contact Dell and pay 300 for installation of drivers.

Hi,
The symptoms you describe indicate that the video card is failing and will most likely need to be replaced.
You can find the drivers for your system here. Make sure you install them in the same orderspecified in the article.
