    Hello,

    Want to add a new GPU to the bios(white list). Now i'm getting a HAL_INITIALIZING_FAIL code 0x0000005C while installing windows from scratch/booting.

    Notebook: dell m6600 precision workstation
    Newest Dell Bios: m6600A15.exe
    Bios specs using phoenix tool 2.56: EFI/Insyde Bios (dell HDR)

    Want to remove add new nvidia gtx 970m GPU so it will be compatible.

    HARDWARE IDS:

    Old GPU: pci\ven_1002&DEV_6720&subsys_04a41028

    New GPU: VEN_10DE&DEV_0FBB&SUBSYS_14A41028&REV_A1

    I'm opening the bios with andy's phoenix tools, than after the Dump map appears, opening a specific rom with hxd and seeing the following listing


    .....Unknown video vendor....AMD Corp........Intel Corp......NVidia Corp.....AMD FirePro M6100 Mobility......AMD FirePro M5950 Mobility......AMD FirePro M8900 Mobility......ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6330.....ATI Mobility Radeon HD 530v.....Intel HD Graphics.......Intel GMA HD....Intel GM45 Graphics.....Unknown video card......NVIDIA Quadro 1000M.....NVIDIA Quadro 2000M.....NVIDIA Quadro 3000M.....NVIDIA Quadro 4000M.....NVIDIA Quadro 5010M.....NVIDIA N12P-NS2.NVIDIA N12P-NS..NVIDIA N12M-NS..NVIDIA Quadro FX1800M GLM4......NVIDIA Quadro FX880M GLM........NVIDIA NVS 3100M........NVIDIA Quadro FX 380M...NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M..NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700M..NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M...NVIDIA Quardo FX 1600M..NVI

    So the question is how to add the 970m GPU.

    Can somebody help me?

    Regards,

    I'm in the same boat, just with a different card. A tutorial for total noobs would be good. :weep:
