How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

which version HALMod it was?
you got BSOD because of HALMod, but when you use Modded drivers you make HALMod useless

Think more luck with PPmguire using modded driver?

 

[anatolymik]

use the latest version of HALmod

is the only way which work with the 780, probably because the 780 is at 8x and 4x PCI-Ex

with the 790 did not use the modified driver

because it's AMD. HALMod tells to driver Intel Environment. When that's true.
what Halmod version it was?

what problem he has? as far as i understand he has problems with cert.
who got "NOT ACPI COMP..." BSOD? isn't he?

i did not understand phrase "its not doing anything".

 

[PP Mguire]

Well i did a cold shut down and boot up. Redid everything and now im getting the ACPI Bios BSOD again.

This is fresh install, 190.62 drivers.

check presence of SLI string by using latest Everest.
post screenshots of it.
send me your current DSDT(.dsl and .dat files). you can get it by using "iasl -g"

i think some SLI cert problems. you need to restore last good conf. then do SliStringInstaller once again. and reboot several times. after if send me your current DSDT

 

[PP Mguire]

I unfortunately dont know how to do that.

take a look. look for this in everest. section ACPI.

about dsl and dat files.

get iasl.exe you can find it in folder with SliStringInstaller
run "iasl -g" from cmd
there will be some files. i need to see *.dat and *.dsl files.

 

[JrRacinFan]

I dont know where to find SLI string in Everest and i dont know what files those are.

In SLIStringinstaller package right click->create shortcut to desktop then go in properties and add "-g" to the target like this

That will place .dat files in the root folder of where you placed the iasl.exe

you need to see in DSDT table. and you are seeing in APIC section
you have SLI cert problems for some reason. are you sure you have ACPI 2.0 Enabled in BIOS?

 

[TheWolf]

Don't forget you need to disable UAC, plus be in test mode.

To clarify it: As you can see in the screenshot (right hand side, upper part of the window - title: Table Description) "ACPI: Multiple APIC Description Table" is highlighted. You need to click on "DSDT: Differentiated System Description Table".
After that the lower part of the windows changes and shows the required information.
