HP elitebook 8570w with nvidia 965m MXM A upgrade !!!! This is my HP elitebook 8570w with an i7 initially it came with a NVIDIA Quadro K1000M wich was too slow. What i did was find a fast MXMa slot gpu like the nvidia 965m MXMa DISCLAIMER - i do not have any fault if you damage your laptop with this procedure. I have donme it in 2 8570w laptops and worked easily both times. But you do it on your own risk STEPS TO DO - do not install 965m card before doing STEP 1&2 STEP 1 : download Nvidia drivers and do some driver editing as seen here http://null-bin.blogspot.gr/2015/08/how-to-modify-nvidia-notebook-driver.html and then install the driver STEP 2 : boot into bios and set the BOOT MODE to UEFI NATIVE like seen in this picture https://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/attachments/psg/Hardware/179833/3/HP%209470m%20-%20Boot%20Mode.jpg SHUT DOWN the laptop STEP 3 : install the mxm card. STEP 4 : power on your laptop - it should normally boot into windows - CAUTION - because the screen backlight doesnt work until windows boot it make some time for the screen to switch on. when you first boot after installing the card wait for some time. 5-7 mins max. if the laptop doesnt boot into windows then try lighting your screen with a good led light source so you can see the screen . check this video to see what i mean that the screen backlight doesnt work on boot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlEtnbZYaUI STEP 5 : enjoy your new 965m gpu :-) the card you have to buy is N16E-GR-A1 4Gb MXM3.0A i bought from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-965M-Graphics-GPU-Card-N16E-GR-A1-4Gb-MXM3-0A-half-size-/122538577859?hash=item1c87de4fc3:g:~xkAAOSwd~RZOTnz with BIOS VBIOS: 84.06.52.00.27
