To fix the problem You can: 1- Uninstall the GPU and then go into the BIOS to enable the Revert back BIOS version option. 2- Next, download an older BIOS version released in 2024 from the Lenovo driver website. 3- Flash the BIOS to the older version. 4- Go back into the BIOS and restore it to factory defaults. 5- Once you have completed all of these steps, you can reinstall the AMD GPU and try again. *Note: This process worked for me. This problem doesn't just happen with the M910x; it affects all versions of this PC, such as the M910s and M910t and it have problem with AMD GPU only for Nvidia it work just fine. - Lenovo ThinkCentre M910x Driver & Support: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/thinkcentre-m-series-desktops/thinkcentre-m910x/downloads/ds120436-flash-bios-update-thinkcentre-m910t-m910s-m910q-m910x-m710q-thinkstation-p320-tiny 0:00 Introduction 0:52 PC upgrade 3:52 Lenovo M910x GPU installation 6:57 3D ventilation case design and installing 8:06 Finished project preview 9:11 CPU & GPU Stress test 10:14 Gameplay Description: In this video, I dive deep into turning a standard Lenovo M910x office PC into a playable gaming machine. I upgrade the CPU and install a low-profile Dell RX 6500 GPU, all while tackling the unique challenges of this tiny chassis. To solve the cooling and compatibility issues, I design and 3D print a custom ventilation top cover and a GPU bracket. I also swap the original adapter for a more powerful 300W model to handle the new components. The video includes stress tests for both the CPU and GPU, followed by gameplay benchmarks to show real-world performance in games like God of War and Doom Eternal. I also demonstrate my personal modding philosophy: every upgrade must be fully reversible, ensuring the PC can always be returned to its original state without any physical damage.
