Shark Tek Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Hi guys, I search the forums for answers of how to make SLI work on my mobo LanParty SLI-D but no one works for me. Recently I bought the twin for my Leadtek PX6600GT TDH and after following all the sugestions of this forum I can't make work the two cards on SLI mode. The main problem that I'm having now is that when booting with the two cards installed with a driver the windows loading screen appears without issues but after finishing a Blue Screen shows saying something about "IRQ Less Than or ......" and then the machine reboots by itself. With one card I can boot but with two isn't possible. I tried different drivers versions and brand without any luck. I even update the BIOS of the old video card to the new one and nothing happen. I remember that the first time that I installed them it boot without problems but after loading the default values (after a big mistake of me) in the Mobo's BIOS the blue screen began to appear. I don't know if I'm missing a setting in the DFI BIOS or something else. My system also have a SATA2 HITACHI Desktar 250GB, Western Digital IDE HD 80GB ATA-100, 1GB PC4000 Ballistix, AMD64 3500+ and XP SP2. Drivers tried: Nvidia latest, XtremeG, NGO and Leadtek. Versions from 76.50 to 77.7* Another thing on Suse 9.3 Pro (Linux) and/or WINDOWS SAFE MODE, the system starts with cards connected as SLI without any issues.

malinois1 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Uninstall your drivers. Then install both vid card. Boot into windows. Then install your vid drivers. Also make sure your jumpers are set right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Tek Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I did everything that you are suggesting now. Jumpers are correctly set, everytime that I uninstalled a driver I use "Driver Cleaner" to take care of anything left by the other. I switch bridge connector many times too. Do I need somekind of DFI's BIOS tweak to make work SLI on this mobo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Tek Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 What PSU? :confused: A good one, I think so. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA21111 Another interesting thing, after uninstalling the driver on SAFE MODE when I boot into windows I receive a windows Crash message, saying that the system has recover for a system error. After sending the report the browser opens with more information about the crash and says that the error was caused by a Graphics Device Driver. :drool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Tek Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 i know she bought the twin but maybe they had a different bios. Dude I reflash the old card with the new BIOS. Using the same rom of the new one I modify the Vendor ID allowing me to use that ROM to flash the old card with the flash tool of leadtek.

davidhammock200 Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 A good one, I think so. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA21111 Technical Information: 20-pin mainboard x 1 4-pin P4 mainboard x 1 5-pin SATA x 2 4-pin to 8-pin adapter x 1 power cord x 1 20-to-24 pin adapter x 1 Peripheral power x 6 4-pin FDD x 1 6-pin AUX x 1 No, not for DFI N4's & although it has enough power for your current video, it won't handle highend SLI. DFI now REQUIRES native 24-pin ATX molex & 480W for all the DFI N4 mobos. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...22&postcount=34 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Tek Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 In conclusion you suggest that I get rid of my current PSU and buy a another one that support SLI. I hope that this help me, remember I will be using 6600GT not a High End. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick a proven winner! :nod: PSU Guide: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10854 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
