Mo Facta Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi all, Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to disable specific PCIe slots, maybe via a SSDT or DSDT patch? The reason for this is because of the problem I'm facing outlined in this thread: I want to disable the PCIe slot my Windows NVMe drive (non-M.2)is plugged into because it is causing the GPU to fail to initialize. Unless anyone has another idea? Specs and info in the linked thread. Thanks in advance. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Facta Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks @MaLd0n. The device instance path in Device Manager is SCSI\DISK&VEN_OCZ&PROD_Z-DRIVE_R4_RM84\7&327935FB&0&000000. Am I looking in the right place? If you could give me a bit more information on how to do what you are suggesting it would be highly appreciated. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Facta Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks. I found the locations path. It's LOCATION PATHS PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0103)#PCI(0002)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0000) ACPI(_SB_)#ACPI(PCI0)#ACPI(GPP2)#ACPI(PT02)#ACPI(PT20)#ACPI(X4_0) Using MaciASL I found the location path. Can I simply delete the entries and put it in DSDT patches in EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched? Sorry for my noobness. I really need help here.

Mo Facta Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 @MaLd0n can I perhaps attach my DSDT and you can help me disable the PCIe slot in the location path? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Facta Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thank you so much. Give me a few minutes, just running your app. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Facta Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) @MaLd0n, I tried the app but it hangs on CPU logs for a long time. I tried it several times and it won't go past. I ran ioreg and I've attached it as a txt file with my DSDT. Hope that's ok.
