M17xR4 gtx 680 2gb gpu driver update
Hello, I have a M17xR4 with a gtx 680m running on windows 10. Currently all my drivers are loaded but when I try to upgrade my nvidia drivers past 307 which is the version on the dell website, I can get the boot screen and the windows logo screen but when it flips over to the windows log on it stays black. I don't have any beeps or errors. It appears everything is loading in the background I just can't see anything. If I go into safe mode and roll back the driver to 307 it boots up just fine. Is there a fix for updating the nvidia driver to the latest version?

Hi,
Unfortunately, according to the policy document, the Alienware M17XR4 series will not be supported on Windows 10. Some users have successfully installed Windows 10 on these non-supported systems, but they did all the driver investigation (example = installing 7/8/8.1 drivers) to force it to work. Dell does not have the resources to do this on non-supported systems. You could also try posting this on the Notebook Review and Alienware Arena forums for assistance.
