Crossfire issue in Win7 RC1 7100

Hello guy's.. I wounder if any of you have the same issue as i get in win7 7100.. My slave card does't insalled correctly, it has that yellow mark on it, in Devicemanger and it does'nt matter if i try to intall any other driver..And this problem is only in version 7100.. =( please help

 

I have the same issue and it's only in W7 RC 7100, there wasn't this problem in all previos W7 betas.

 

Any more info on this, I've been looking for a solution for a couple days now...

i've been googling for a long time now and besides this forum (which i visit but never registered before) i've only found one more link. (doesn't seem specific to mobility radeon like we have though)
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33944676

wanted to add that it is installing my cards as
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2" - No Errors
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2" - (Code 10) Device cannot start.

While i do have two "3870"s i do not have two "3870 X2"s.

 

Just one simple question and i dont mean anything bad but; why do you keep downloading new builds when the old ones 7077-7000 work like a charm? And i had a little glitch like this with some drivers on build 7077 and others didnt scale.. just try E-Wrecked`s 8.12 drivers. They work great for me.

 

this is my first time downloading windows 7 and i figured i'd get the latest build.

 

Ah whell.. try the drivers than.. i believe it should fix it.

 

It sholdn't fix it.

 

tried many driver packages:
Microsoft's Driver.......Fail
From ATI site: 9.4.....Fail
From ATI site: 9.3.....Fail
On Alienware CD.......Fail
ATI 9.4 + Mobil Mod..Fail
E-wrecked's Driver.....Fail
Some others i cant remember... (all of which fail to fully function)
I have yet to try Catalyst 9.5 beta but I doubt it will work.

Many say "Not for this version of windows" etc etc
Some install as "ATI Radeon Mobility 3870 X2"
Only a couple I've gotten to install as "ATI Radeon Mobility 3870"
All drivers i've tried show second vid card as "(Code 10) Device cannot start."

GPU-z reports both cards exist and that Crossfire: "Disabled (unsure on Vista64)"

 

drop these in your inf.
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870" = ati2mtag_M88, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9509&SUBSYS_207A161F
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 " = ati2mtag_M88, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9508&SUBSYS_207A161F
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870" = ati2mtag_M88, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9509&SUBSYS_02401043
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 " = ati2mtag_M88, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9508&SUBSYS_02401043
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870" = ati2mtag_M88, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9508&SUBSYS_0770152D

here
C:\ATI\Support\9-4_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF

this where it should be located if you need more info on how to do it just post for help

 

I am having the same issue, I will try this tip out dondadah88, And i will report if it works.

 

if not i am going to install it myself tomorrow any way and see what's up with it.

 

btw, can you explain where exactly to insert this new info?

 

just try this
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Down...phics-Driver-8-612-for-Windows-7-110849.shtml

 

they are joking with us....

 

I think they think they only need to support the desktop users ...

Lol i didn't read all of it.

 

Having the same issue. Tried 9.3 and 9.4 didnt work, tried the others, didnt work as well
3DMark06 shows 8k-ish result = GG

 

i currently have x64 7 7100 and i am trying to install it now . i will tell you the results. what is your specs.

 

dam it isnt working. i am going to try different drivers.

 

ok i got one gpu to install. it was the master. i am going to force the slave.
edit. i think it is a bug. it won't even accept the one that started with the computer.

 

Damn,

I just finished downloading the latest 7100 RC 64bit.

I'll be installing on my SSD tonight or tomorrow.

I'm guessing you guys will have found a solution by then.

If not I'll try to help too.

 

here us a screen shoot. the master is fine it is just the slave.

 

Just wanted to post and say that I am having the exact same problems as everyone else here.

I even tried to use older driver version 8.56 and it failed. So it would seem the ball is in ATI's court.....which means we may be waiting a while. ><

I don't suppose anyone has a link to Win 7 build 7077 or 7068 I can use in the mean time?

 

i am going to be install more drivers to see what happens..


derbeste welcome to nbr

 

Hey, thanks for the invite! You don't often see such courteousness on the Internet.

Anyway, one last update, I went ahead and tried some desktop catalyst drivers as well and some old Vista drivers modded using the Mobility Modder. Still no luck.

Also, I have a friend here with almost the exact same Mobo and chassy as I do except that he has an nVidia 8700 SLI set up and his works flawlessly (Both are OCZ boards btw).

 

yeah i know. i guess it is a ati thing. someone else have my same setup. i am going to ask him for his inf.

edit. never mind. i give him my inf. i am going to look for it.

 

Update:

I just tried to install the 9.5 Beta drivers. They won't install whatsoever even after the trick Dondadah88 posted of moving those strings into the .inf.

Evidently 9.5 does not yet support Win7 at all.

Looks to me like we may all have to wait a while to use our xfire systems unless we rollback our OS builds.

 

Looks like we are going to have to look at the different builds to see whats different.

 

hellcry has 7100 and he doesn't have a problem. but it is 2am at his area.

 

Really? This is the same 7100 that came out yesterday that we're talking about right?

And are all the versions in question 64bit?

Well I guess I'll find out tonight if it works for me.

Gonna get rid or the Raid 0 set-up I have and use an SSD for the OS and use one of my 250Gb drives for everything else.

 

hi all im currently running 9.5 beta drivers, i did post em on here before but i dont think anybody trusted em

they are 64 bit and they are meant to work on vista and win7

you do need to mob mod em as well, but i modded them in a separate folder.

if you like i can post the download and what i did to make them work

im on vista 64 by the way not win 7, just thought these drivers may be of some help.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2WP56V95

and for these to work on win7 you may have to install manually through the divice manager.
and to be honest i think these are the best drivers ive installed on the m17 even tho i only play gtaiv and bf2 it seems better.


well don i clciked your ati score on these drivers: p8400 processor 1x 3870 4gig ram and 160 single hdd i got 8340 or something like that only slightly lower than yours with t9600
http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=6F2929C3FA3332EF4AF454C0BF3EBE0D

 

ok i will install it and post results.

 

7100 64 bit only bsod for me almost right after installation i dont even have time to install the ati drivers.

 

also bud when you mob mod them unrar the file and put it into its own folder, i never mob moded them via c/vista ect

i put the files into their own folder then went to mob mod and opend up own folder and mob modded that way, then closed the files down-re opend and clciked the setup file

might make some sense i hope

 

nope i blue screen and had to go to safe mode and delete the driver.
now i am stuck at

 

thats odd bud these drivers do work in win7 ( might be older build they work in )

odd that your getting blue screen.

sorry that these drivers never worked for you bud.

 

i will reinstall later tonight because of i like win7 alot better then vista.

 

right bud may help you amd released windows 7 9.5 8.612

I'll check the WHQL driver/Mobility Mod and get back. I dont think i've tried this one yet.

 

OK, I'm unable to fully Mobility Mod the WHQL drivers. It says it's successful in the program but nothing was changed in the INF.

Any workarounds?

 

I get the same problem with the second card.

A few of my programs don't work either so I'm going back To Vista for now.

Good luck guys.

 

Also, no matter what driver I attempt to install, windows comes back with "this driver is not compatible with this version of windows" (something like that).

idk what to do anymore... im fresh outta ideas. this seems like a ATI/Microsoft level fkup. i bet it has to do with that retarded GPGPU implementation. what a waste...

 

no solution yet? Anyone ? got that lappy is so sluggish now

 

There is only one solution for the present - install W7 7077 or 7106.

 

Hi guys,

Ive since gone back to Vista due to this issue. Everything was fine with 7077 but something has definitely gone belly up with 7100.

Ive looked all over for a solution guys and it doesnt look good.
I would suggest going back to 7077 and if you dont have it then download it from TheWindows7site team through IPtorrents. Its a private tracker and if anybody wants an invite then I will assist.(PM only) All these Windows 7 builds are clean compared to some on Mininova that were found to contain trojans.

I found 7077 excellent apart from when I un-plugged my Xbox 360 controller from my USB port the system crashed BSOD stylee.

 

I'm contemplating build 7077, is there much of a difference between 7077 and 7100?

 

7106? You mean a newer version than RC1?

Greetings
Julian

 

I can only find a 32bit of 7106.

Julian - I believe this version is older than the RC(7100) although the number doesnt sugget it.

 

hello, i m french, so i apologize for my poor english, i have the same problem with the slave card, using the 32bit seven rc version. i hope you will find, thanks

 

yeah i couldn't get it to work. so i went to win7 7000. i am waiting for a update which will come. just need more people to complain.
