Guest VinylPusher Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi, I wiped my laptop on Saturday and installed XP Pro (genuine version with slipstreamed Intel SATA/AHCI). Every time I enable SLi, not only does it refuse to enable my Dell 2405 as the SLi display (over VGA) but when I reboot XP, it fails to load. I have to power-cycle it and then it loads without a problem. If I shut-down from XP and the switch back on, it boots fine. If I disable SLi, I can reboot fine. This happens with 169.17, 169.12 and 169.09. This is driving me nuts. I've tried rebooting without my external monitor attached. Made no difference. This is a completely fresh install of XP. Chipset drivers are correctly loaded, as are all ancillary drivers (networking, bluetooth, wireless, audio). I have not installed Dell Quickset, System Utilities or the touchpad driver. Has anyone come across a similar problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VinylPusher Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I should mention, the system is otherwise perfectly stable and posts a 3DMark of over 7900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
