GPU boot order

Well this does involve my MSI motherboard but feel free to move to a more appropate area mod.
Well here is my problem I juist got a Zotac GTX260, so I uuninstalled drivers through windows uninstaller for my EVGA 9800gt currently installed.
I then install GTX260 with no problem. I want to run the 9800gt as a PhysX so I figure all i have to do is pop it back in the second PCIe slot install some drivers and it will just sit idle until it is used. I have nothing plugged in to the 9800gt at this point monitor is hooked up to GTX260.
I go to boot and the screen never turns on. Well after some trubleshooting I find out if I connect my 9800gt to the monitor or a seprate display the bios will show up and the windows loading screen will show up on the 9800gt. Now when windows finishes loading the display will switch to the GTX260 for my password entry.
It is as if the 9800gt will initialize faster display the bios load screen, but when windows loads it sees that the GTX260 is in PCIe 1.
In this way it seemed to work,the GTX260 would be the primary renderer, but when looking at the graph in EVGA Precision it showed the GTX260 working at only 85% where as if by itself it would be 99-100 constantly on. This was in PhysX games and non PhysX games. I had a drop of around 30fps in L4D2 in this setup.
I would expect some drop as having two cards drops my slots to 8x PCIe 2.0 from a single 16x 2.0 but not anywhere near 30fps.
I have tried uninstalling both at same time, separatley install one then the other, all with the same result. If anyone have any ideas or come across this problem the help would be much appreciated.

Just an idea: The Zotac to cooperate with 9800 sets it's speed down. Sort of like SLI.
Booting problem - just another idea - Windows doesn't realize there are two cards involved, since they following above are exactly the same.
But these are just instant ideas, and I do not know how to fix it. But it sounds as the fix has to predate Windows, so you land at BIOS or hardware.
Well the 9800GT would be the one to step its clocks down because it is clocked higher than the GTX260. Windows sees the two cards it is as though the motherboard just wants to boot the 9800GT first almost like the GTX260 takes a fraction of a second longer to start up so it will just use the 9800GT instead. Then once windows compleatly loads it will switch to output on the GTX260 but with the problem stated before oly being able to use 80-85% GPU power. PhysX acclerated games even worked with effects enabled but used roughly 50% of the 9800GT and still topped out at 86% usage for the GTX260.

  • X205-sli1 - boot order switched to netboot by bad youtube - BSOD

    Quick summary: x205-sli1 - windows 7 ultimate 32bit - stock drives, memory, etc.
    Periodically my gf is watching youtube and opens a second ie window with another youtube in it... then tries to close the first one.  Probably 1 in 5 times she does this it results in a BSOD indicating the nvidia driver and the laptop reboots.  After the reboot it constantly scrolls the intel PXE boot messages.  The only fix is to reboot and go into the bios and adjust the boot order back to booting disc 0 first again.
    Anyone every see this before?
    Robert
    p.s. yes, I've done the simple thing and asked her NOT to do that, but I have trouble seeing how a bad video/driver combo can trick the toshiba into rearranging the boot order putting the drive last verse first.

    Try running this program and disable powermizer to stop the blue screens.

    It worked well for correcting a very similar issue with the single GPU X205's
    Also check for an update to flash player.  Adobe has been having issues with flash recently.

  • BootCamp drivers crash Windows 7, slow startup, boot order?, backup drive

    I have 3 issues that may be related or possibly not related to each other. I use an iMac (currently with Leopard 10.5.8 on a completely clean installation of both Leopard and Windows 7 on a freshly formatted and partitioned drive).
    Issues:
    1. Before reformatting and installing Leopard and Windows 7, I tried to install Snow Leopard and then Snow Leopard Bootcamp drivers into Windows 7. This crashed Windows 7.
    2. Slow startup of Windows 7 - Drivers needed?
    3. Firewire backup drive never re-mounts after using WIndows and then going back to OS X.
    *Details of issues*:
    In the past, before I completely re-installed Leopard 10.5.8 with a new Windows 7, with this same pair of operating systems, I always had a slow startup of Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Sometimes this would take up to 6 minutes to completely open Windows 7. The "Starting Windows" message would appear usually soon, but it would tale a very long time before the Windows logo Flag would appear. The slow startup still continues, even after a complete reinstallation of these on a freshly re-formatted and re-partitioned hard drive (This re-installation was done for reasons shown below).
    For a long while I have thought that because I had never installed any BootCamp drivers into Windows 7, then it might start better if I were to install the BootCamp drivers from an installation disk. Thus when I the other day briefly upgraded to Snow Leopard, this time I went ahead while operating under Windows 7 to install into my already existing Windows 7 the set of Boot Camp drivers from the Snow Leopard installation disk. The installation seemed to go well, but it then hung up and never continued when it tried to install the Intel chipset driver. An an hour had passed with no further progress. Thus I force-shutdown the computer, and Windows then never opened until I restarted under safe mode. After that when I would restart Windows 7 "normally", I found also that the Apple wireless keyboard under BootCamp no longer was recognized. The "normal" slow booting of Windows 7 still remained.
    Because of I was not sure just what all might have been messed up, and because I am waiting for new versions of several programs that I use to be made as versions compatible with Snow Leopard, I reformatted the complete drive (Both partitions were merged into 1), and then I reinstalled Leopard on a freshly prepared drive, followed by newly installing Windows 7 on a new BootCamp partition. Both systems were fresh installs on a freshly prepared drive and partitions. These were not from clones of the previous installations. This time I did not try to install any drivers from the Leopard disk. The slow booting of Windows 7 continues.
    Things I have suspected might cause the slow booting:
    1. Boot order of the Windows partition may be set to look for a CD-ROM before booting from the Windows 7 on the BootCamp Partition. To solve this, I have tried to open the BIOS on startup of Windows 7 in order to set the boot order. I am not sure which function key to press, but in trying several, I have gotten a DOS screen that shows Windows 7 as an option, but nothing else. When I select "Advanced", I get a list that includes "Safe Mode", "Boot Logging", and other items, but not anything for boot order.
    2. The drivers for BootCamp might not yet be made for Windows 7, and I need to wait until these are so that these can be installed. After such, then maybe the slow startup might be fixed?
    3. Possibly my Firewire backup drive interferes (permanently?) with the Windows startup process, because after I use Windows and then go back to OS X, the backup drive (Maxtor OneTouch III firewire drive) will not load on the MacIntosh desktop until I unplug the firewire from both the computer and the Maxtor drive and unplug the power cable to the backup drive, followed by replugging all of this in. (Note: The backup drive is formatted for Macintosh and is never seen as a drive in "My Computer" or in "Network Places" when I operate Windows 7).
    Are you able to help/ Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Wilson

    Extra comments;
    I also tried the following, which did not fix the startup (*Once up, Windows works well!*):
    1. Checked for file and disk errors (ckdsk?? on startup).
    2. Purged temporary internet and other temporary files (using internet options and disk cleanup utilities)
    3. Cleared out Prefetch files.
    4. Emptied trash.
    5. Under "msconfig", I found 4 items there as startup items. I disabled Adobe Reader and Quicktime helpers, leaving only thus 2 startup items of the 4 enabled (Bulldog and some Microsoft thing).
    6. Defragmented.
    No better results.
    Sincerely,
    Wilson

  • Having difficulty in Win 8.1 changing boot order drive at the Bios level

    My desktop computer has 32GB of DDR3-1600Mhz Memory plus a 128GB SSD boot drive "C" and 2 2TB SATA drives and finally a 1TB Sata drive.
    My problem is that the 128GB SSD drive is maxed out space wise.  I want to change the boot drive to the 1TB drive, but when I go into the Bios, and slect "Boot Order" it only lists two CD Rom drives and "Windows Boot Manager".  If i go out to look at available drives, it shows all my drives.  How the heck can I select the 1TB drive to become the boot drive if its not even listed under "Boot Drives"?
    Using disk partitioning software, it advises that before copying everything over from the boot SSD drive to the new 1 TB drive, I should change the boot drive so that when it starts up again, it will go directly to the correct drive.  
    Thanks so much,
    Ken

    That is impressive for a OEM.  However, I think it is probably not a good idea to try to make a different drive the boot drive.  Typically with a unit set up like that, the SSD is only used for essentially the OS and special programs that need the extra speed of the SSD.  Then use the other drives for data and nonessential ( for speed ) software.  About the only advice I can give is to reassess the way software is installed to get some things off the SSD or replace the SSD with a larger capacity unit.  I think switching boot drives will be a nightmare you will not enjoy.

  • Changing Boot Order on Dual Boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu

    Hi there,
    Recently got a HP Pavilion g6 2213sa which came with Windows 8 (spit!) and this disgusting UEFI BIOS replacement (double spit!).
    Anyway, I need to dual boot Ubuntu on my system, so I installed Ubuntu. Normally, on a non UEFI system, a "Grub" bootloader installed by Linux would take over the startup process, and allow you to choose between either Windows 8 or Ubuntu on startup.
    However, on this computer, startup is just booting straight to Windows 8 despite the fact that Ubuntu and Grub IS installed.
    Now, upon startup, if I press F9, then I get to change the boot-device on a one-time basis. I can either select "OS Boot Manager", which loads Windows 8, or "Ubuntu" which loads the Grub bootloader which allows me to select Windows 8 or Ubuntu.
    However, when I press F10 to enter the Bios Setup with the intention of changing the boot order permanently, the Ubuntu option isn't there. Instead it has OS Manager, USB Disk, CD Rom, USB CD Rom and Network Card.
    Thanks, HP for, the crappily designed BIOS.
    Anyway, can anyone PLEASE provide me a way of changing the boot order so that GRUB is loaded first and NOT this crap Windows 8 rubbish (that I would happily bin if I didn't need it for work). 

    There is the same problem in HP 2000 laptops (in my case specifically, HP 2000-2D22DX). I did some investigation using trial and error, and this is what I found out:
    There is some sort of a "recovery feature" or so that on every boot sets the very first UEFI load option to point to one of the two locations, in this order:
    \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
    \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi
    This option is displayed as "OS boot Manager" (for the first path) and something akin to "UEFI partition" for the second path, completely ignoring the actual name given to it (when you look at the EFI variables through efibootmgr, you can see that what is displayed as "OS boot Manager" actually is set to the name "Windows Boot Manager"; why anyone would do such renaming is beyond me). If you try to change the boot order so that this slot isn't the first, the UEFI will overwrite the BootOrder variable on next boot and reset it to point to "OS boot Manager" anyway.
    By default, both of the paths above contain the same Microsoft bootloader (if you check the md5sum of both, you'll see they match).
    So, until HP releases an updated UEFI that allows turning this "feature" off or rearranging boot options through the F10 UEFI setup, this is what you can do to get dual boot with the least amount of hackiness:
    In Windows, mount the UEFI partition (mountvol S: /S mounts it as the S: drive) and copy the file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi to use some other name (for example, I copied it to "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi~", but you can change the name to anything else).
    In the Windows command prompt, update the Windows UEFI entry to point to the new name: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi~ (adapt to your set name accordingly).
    Optionally, change the name of the Windows boot loader so that you would be certain that it points to the new file location: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} description "Fixed Windows path"
    Install the other OS. In my case the bootloader was installed into \EFI\opensuse\grubx64.efi.
    Delete the two files, \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi and \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi.
    Use efibootmgr to delete the "OS boot Manager" entry: sudo efibootmgr -b 0000 -B
    Set the new OS bootloader to be the default bootloader by using efibootmgr with the -o option. In my case, I had an entry called "opensuse" in slot Boot0001 and the updated path Windows entry in slot Boot0002, so I had to do sudo efibootmgr -o 0001,0002
    Update GRUB to point the Windows entry to your renamed file (you'll have to create a new file in /etc/grub.d and rerun grub-mkconfig).
    And that's it, now the UEFI will boot GRUB by default (it won't regenerate the "OS boot Manager" entry since it won't be able to find either of the two hardcoded paths and will "fall back" to properly reading the BootOrder variable), and the F9 menu will still allow choosing to boot Windows directly.

  • How to change the boot order? Frustrated!!!

    Guys, I feel stupid.  A frustrating place to be.  Please bear with me if I am doing something stupid.  I added a mSata second drive.  Works fine.  Lenovo X220, Bios 1.16.  PC boots from the new drive.  I don't want an operating system on the new drive, just want it for storage.  So I entered the bios by pushing the blue thinkvantage button and can't find a way to permanently change boot order.  I hit F12 to TEMPORARILY change boot order, every time I boot the PC.  Major PAIN!  I tried to enter the Intel Boot Extension Management Engine, but it needs a password and I don't have a password.  Any thoughts?

  • U300s: Cannot access BIOS to change boot order

    I was dual booting Windows 8.1 Update and Ubnutu 14.04
    From the windows disk manager I deleted all Ubuntu partitions and rebooted my notebook. I was immediatlly present with the grub rescue promt. Normally this is a quick and easy fix, by booting a windows USB/CD and repairing the windows MBR. 
    My problem is I can't access the bios or the boot menu to change the boot order. Nothing I've tried has let me get into the bios to set my USB stick as the first boot option. 
    Using the small recovery key button on the side of the notebook which normally boots the notebook to the screen where you can choose which drive to boot does the same as the power button. There is no bios flash screen or abililty to press any keys before getting to the grub screen. 
    I've drained the battery and left over night hoping this would reset the state it seems to be stuck in but that also did nothing. 
    Here is a short video showing what happens when I boot the notebook http://youtu.be/2FpC2Deuawk

  • Re: Satellite A210-10A, crashes when changing boot order

    Hello,
    I have a serious problem with my Toshiba laptop, Windows Vista 32bit, 1.8Ghz, 2Gb RAM, AMD Turion 64 x2
    There is one hard disk partitioned as two 75Gb drives (C and E).
    The problem is that, whenever I enter the Boot menu (to boot from CD), or if I change within the BIOS the boot order and then restart, the computer crashes (power cuts off suddenly).
    Then the only way to recover, is to plug out the AC/DC adapter, wait 5 min, and start again. Then, either everything goes on normally, or Windows system recovery launches, after what it will reboot and work fine.
    It might be important to know that I repartitioned the E drive to have 30Gb for installing Win7 later on. The annoying thing is that I never tried changing the boot order before repartitioning, so I don't know whether it has something to do with the problem or if it was there before.
    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    It looks like the Bios related issue. Have you tried to update it or reflash?

    Maybe this took place before but you didn't check.

    I had used the "Create a recovery drive" option. You find this tool by pressing the windows key and typing in recovery drive, and clicking on the Settings category. This launches the Create a recovery drive application. This tool apparently copies over the recovery partition from the hard drive. Thanks a lot for your help.

  • A45-S120 - WinXP corrupted, unable to change boot order to restore from DVD recovery medium

    I have a Toshiba A45-S120 laptop that has previously worked fine. I hadn't turned it on for several weeks. When I tried last week, after the WinXP splash screen came up, the progress bar completed one pass and then the video froze and showed a ghosted image of the WinXP logo off to the right of the real one and the two images were displayed in alternating vertical stripes, almost as thought you were looking through vertical blinds. At that point, there was no further boot progress.
    Pressing Esc got me into the BIOS page, so it doesn't appear that there was a hardware video problem. The only options that I can could in the BIOS were the time and password (which is not set). With the recovery DVD in the drive, I couldn't get the system to boot to the CD/DVD drive no matter what I did. I tried all the suggestions of F12, F2, etc., and nothing highlighted any of the row of icons across the bottom of the Toshiba spalsh screen. When I booted, unless I pressed Esc, the system recognized the failed Windows boot and went into the text screen giving me all the safe mode start options.
    After typing the above, I had one other thought - to try to force the issue, I replaced the hard drive with one that should have been blank but I got the same louvered WinXP logo. Thinking maybe I had a drive that wasn't blank as it should be, I tried a known blank drive. Now I get no response from the system at all when I try to power it on, even when swapping back to either of the other hard drives.
    Is this stuff symptomatic of a dying system or is there something I can do to resurrect it and force the DVD restore somehow? Refurbishing desktops is a hobby of mine but I haven't had much experience with troubleshooting and repairing laptop issues, so thanks in advance for any pointers.

    Solved!

    Well, I have good news and confusing news to report...
    The dongle worked as advertised.  I booted with it installed, powered down and removed it, then restarted the machine.  I was able to change the boot device and enter BIOS with the ability to change the boot order, etc.
    I then ran the recovery process.  The ghosted image restored and then, when the machine restarted, I got the same problem that started it all... the WinXP splash screen came up, the progress bar completed one pass and then the video froze and showed a ghosted image of the WinXP logo off to the right of the real one and the two images were displayed in alternating vertical stripes, almost as thought you were looking through vertical blinds. There were also 4 or 5 thin vertical stripes that were flashing as though video was being displayed though them like it used to if you used an older monitor with a new system that couldn't display things properly.  At that point, there was no further boot progress.
    In order to do a bit more troubleshooting, I booted the system with a live Linux CD - it booted and ran OK.  I then tried installing Ubuntu.  It started and then the screen went wonky again, with pixellating lines all over.  I then repartitioned it, ran scandisk on the hard drive overnight (no errors), and reran the recovery process.  Same shadow image when the XP splash screen appears - and it does this both during the ordinary booting process as well as during an attempted safe mode boot.
    As I was typing the above, I remembered one other thing I meant to try.  I reset the BIOS to default values and reran the recovery process - still a messed up WinXP splash screen after the progress bar makes 2 or 3 passes.
    If anyone has ideas, I'd be grateful for the help.

  • W520 UEFI boot order changes not persistent

    I have had a W520 for the entire summer.  I have always double or triple booted my laptops because of the nature of my work, but this is the first system I have ever owned with UEFI.
    The problem: the W520 BIOS/Firmware/UEFI or whatever you want to call it does not keep the GPT boot order of the OS's that I attempt to save.  When I reboot and go back to the BIOS after saving it, it is in the same order that I started, which is in fact, the order that I installed the operating systems that, starting with the last one that I installed, first.  I called up Lenovo tech support and very quickly they conveyed to me that Lenovo only supports single boot of the operating system that came bundled with the installation.
    I thought a later BIOS would help.  No such luck.
    As much as I have read about UEFI, I know that the boot order is stored in the UEFI NVRAM.  There are some third-party utils that can edit the NVRAM configuration, but I was not able to find a cookbook guide clear enough wear I was OK messing with the health of my well populated analysis workstation.  If anyone has any experience with a step-by-step solution, I would be interested in hearing, and even paying, for your expertise as needed.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    It doesn't change the boot order, it create a new item "boot from file".
    Are you using a virtual machine or physical machine?
    If you are using a virtual machine, you can change the boot order from hyper-v settings.
    If you are using a physical machine, you need to change the boot order manually.

    [please answer thanx

    If you go back into the BIOS then you can restore it to defaults.  Please use the following link to find out how to do this:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07110&dlc=en&lc=en&cc=us
    This will take the boot order back to the default settings. 
    I would also suggest attempting the recovery again if this doesn't help.  If it still doesn't work then you might have a hardware issue and you should contact hp for service at 1-800-hp invent.  Hopefully this helps out.
