Windows 8.1 Nvidia driver for Alienware 17 R5
#1
Hello, my problem is:
I want to install windows 8.1. The installation is successful, and the windows using the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" driver to my GTX 1070.
Every time when I want to install the offical nvidia geforce driver (the version is not matters, tried a lot of them) the OS stuck in an infinite "freeze loop". If I move my mouse cursor sometimes shows, but 1-2 sec and gone. Mostly black screen. If I turn on the caps lock (the key led is on) same 1-2 sec and turning itself off. I have tried install the nvidia driver in pure windows install and tried install all the windows update and tried after that. None of those worked Sad
I dumped my BIOS looking some hidden setting maybe I can use. I found some, but I don know if I allow them helps me or not.
Someone has any idea what is going on? I know Dell officially only supports windows 10 and yes w10 is working fine, but I really want to use w8.1 if that possible somehow...
My main OS is linux and everything is working fine on linux too.
Maybe I have some BIOS restriction? Any idea?

If the driver isn't made for the OS, it won't work. It has nothing to do with bios. Besides why would anybody want to use Win8.

Extract the driver setup with winrar. Driver is inside the folder "Display.Driver". Try updating it manually using device manager.

The driver made for this OS: 452.06-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe

Same reason, for anybody wan to use win7.

I already did that too, with no luck, same result.
