I have tried to burn the ISO to a CD but that didn't work. The Alienware site describes that I should burn the ISO to a CD and press F12 and select CD to boot. I have also tried to make CD as first boot in the BIOS. What happens is that it's just starts the Windows 7 as normal.

I want to try to do it with a USB. Every forum I have seen is that people use ROM files.
I have a ISO file that I downloaded from Alienware site.

I have a Alienware M17x r3 (64 bit)
Nibitor doesn't want to read my bios.
I get this message: Can't start driver: 577

The purpose I want to flash my GPU to the newest is that some throttle issues has been fixed.
I have problem with throttling, And my temperature is getting to 75C. That is not that high whe this GPU can supprt 90-100C

It seems your ISO image is not bootable..
Also, NiBiTor doesn't use a signed device driver. Win7 won't use unsigned drivers unless you specifically tell it to. If you hit F8 and get to the boot menu, select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement", and it'll run. Disabling it is mildly hazardous as it's a security feature, but it'll only last until the next reboot.

From the web concerning Nvidia..
"you can edit bios with nibitor but in tools you choose fermi clocks or voltage and set everything there. Main window is always greyed out for fermi that's why they added these additional tabs."
