AW M15x Throttling Issue Investigation - Stock clocks and overclocked.

UPDATE 12/15/09: John from Dell spoke to engineering about this issue and unfortunately the response was a disappointing one.



4. Install the HP USB Key Utility



5. Launch the HP USB Key Utility and do the following:

- Insert your USB thumb drive.

- Select File system as "FAT32"

- Select Format Option as "Create a DOS bootable Disk..."

- Checkmark the box that says, "Quick Format"

- Locate the directory you extracted the Win98 files.

- Format the USB key using the the Win98 files.



6. Copy all the files from step #3 to the USB key

- nvflash.exe

- newbios.rom

- oldbios.rom

-etc.



7. Set your M15x bios to boot from USB Storage Device.



8. Attach the USB key to the system, reboot and it will load a dos prompt.



9. At the dos prompt you will need to type: nvflash -4 -5 -6 A y newbios.rom and when it asks if you want to flash the file, press Y.



10. You are done! If everything went well, you will now have 1v for your 2nd level 3D clocks which should enable you to overclock your GPU using RivaTuner. Be sure you do not use NST to overclock, only RivaTuner will do the job if you are applying the throttle fix.
