[Help] DSDT

BrokenBird · August 8, 2010

I am working 70 hours a week on top of having 5 children, which doesn't leave me much time to play around. I really need to system to work.

Here are my specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Maximus Gene III

Memory: 6Gb

Video Card (Primary): EVGA GeForce 9800GTX+ 512Mb

Video Card (Secondary): Asus EN9500GT 1Gb

Sata Hard Disk and Sata DVD writer

Currently my system is working with a single video card with NVEnabler 64, I can use any of the two cards, they both work, but they do not work together in the same system.

Everything else is working, sound, lan, etc...

The other issue is that when I shutdown, the system does not really power down. I can provide my current DSDT.

I am willing to make some adjustments to my system if required.

Thanks.

You will need to edit the parts in red to suite your hardware. shouldn't take too long and some of it like the (_ADR, 0x00010000) and rom revision you will have to find out for yourself anyway.

EDIT - Shut down fix is very easy also - extract and decode your DSDT.aml to DSDT.dsl, post and I can help with shutdown fix.

As I said the GFX part you'll need to do some work yourself.

Thanks, can you point me to where I can get the NVCAP and Rom-revision.

Here is my dsl

Here's the shutdown fixed DSDT

dsdt_shutdownfix.zip

ROM revision can be found by looking in system profiler under graphics

Re: NVCAP - there was a really good post on one of the nvidia forums explaining nvcap but it lokks like its been taken down.

You can see the format the DSDT patch has to be so, your best bet will be to search for someone who has the same card with the same port allocations and has made a DSDT patch.

For example here is my thread for a working 9500 1GB that has DSUB, DVI and HDMI ports.You can use this!

Thanks, when I put your graphic section in the dsdt, I get a lot of compile errors.

FKA · August 8, 2010

please post dsdt.dsl and iaslme log

just a random question-

if you can afford to pay someone 200 bucks for such a simple task-- why not just buy a mac? lol
