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

[anatolymik]

okay working on it

1: loadtable ->ok
2: Reboot ->ok
3: iasl -g ->*.dsl->SLIC inluded
4: will try the modded nv-driver now

5: SLi with modded driver not working. could be that it checks for intel signature? will try the hal-mod now

what your motherboard manufacturer is?

Dont know why but I think the Hal_Mod didnt work

you have halmod not installed. you should disable UAC. enter system as Administrator, and run install.cmd from Windows Explorer

www.xdevs.com\sli\HALMod v0.7 alpha.ZIP

1. Download

2. Unpack

3. run install.cmd FROM WINDOWS EXPLORER AS ADMINISTRATOR

4. Reboot

5. Post screenshots of CPUZ

UAC is switched of. running from explorer was not possible. even with "run as admin".

so just opened cmd with option "run as admin" and run install.cmd inside cmd:





so SLi still not working. Asus Slic should be MSI Slic or the position in the file is wrong?

Schlingel did you install last version of HALMod?
