bringmeyoursours Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm having issues rebooting from setup 1.30 into windows. It reboots to a black screen, and I can't seem to get the adapter to show up in device manager after the fact. This is a Lenovo Thinkpad E540 with no whitelisting (as far as I can tell), an AMD Radeon R9 380 on Windows 10. Steps taken are as follows : 1.) set long memory (device was detected on hard reboot but never a restart) 2.) ran Guru3D's device driver uninstaller, uninstalled the PCI Express Root Complex (as thats all i saw related to PCIE in device manager) 3.) rebooted into Setup 1.30 from a hard shutdown 4.) ran pci compaction with the scope set as the egpu and the second menu (cant remember off the top of my head what it is), i selected none 5.) rebooted from the setup 1.30 menu and it booted to a black screen. I have tried to unplug the egpu immediately after selecting reboot in the setup 1.30 menu, it comes back with video but having plugged the mpcie adapter in at various times (in the grub loader menu, during the aux menu (F8 key), and the adapter refuses to show up. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the steps inside of Setup 1.30 or I'm failing to understand the hotswapping. If the egpu is plugged in and powered on from a hard shutdown and power on, it shows up perfectly in device manager and in setup 1.30, but always a black screen when in place from a software reboot. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Thanks! To apply any of the PCIe changes made in Setup 1.30 requires that you perform Chainloading rather that a reboot. Proceed then to do this by: 1. Set Chainloader->mode=MBR. Confirm Chainloading to your Windows bootmenu, then into Windows works by doing Chainloader->Test Run. If not, alter the Chainloader settings until it does. 2. Perform your PCI compaction as outlined when highlight PCI Compaction->Run compact and hit F1 (help) 3. Test your PCI compaction by doing Chainloader->Test Run. If system fails to chainload or is unstable review the PCI compaction settings (highlight PCI Compaction->Run compact and hit F1 (help)) as well as (temporarily at least) set your eGPU port to Gen1 speed by selecting PCIe Ports->Gen1 until stability is reached.

Thanks! Further question if you don't mind, after the scope is set as the egpu, should I select none or the internal on the second prompt? Sorry for the pointless repost by the way, I hadn't gotten a notification on here yet! Edit - Compaction with egpu as scope, igpu to 32bit gets the device to show up with the proper driver, but incurs an error 43. Getting closer, I feel.

Juunasv Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 When I used the DYI setup 1.30 on my old laptop, it worked fine with the menu based program. But now on my new laptop, it boots directly to a dos-like menu. When I press F10 to use the menu based, it just comes back to the dos-like program. Did I install it incorrectly? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win7 users who don't want to do the registry override can also do this DSDT substitution. Hi again guys. I wondered if this could help me overcome code 12 error? Though currently my diy setup 1.3 load up in a dos like way, NOT in the menu based way and I don't understand why. Could someone elaborate?

From your Lenovo E560 with Setup 1.30 installed, start an DOS prompt (admin), then type 'cd \egpu\utils' followed by 'setpci -s 0:1f.0 2.w'. Pls note the result of that command on your system, eg: 1e55 below. C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd\egpu\pciutils C:\eGPU\pciutils>setpci -s 0:1f.0 2.w 1e55 C:\eGPU\pciutils> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
