    Hi forum, was just trying the " go into registry and turn off powermizer trick" to stop/limit DPC issues, and the first step was to uninstall video drivers.. baadd idea. Back to the old Blackscreening(besides the mouse cursor) when SLi cards are being used. running on 9400m at the moment.
    where do you find the SMU drivers?
    are these the same as the coprocessor drivers. e.g SMU=-coprocessorr?
    i have got 195.62 installed.. aparently.

    Edit: after finding SMU drivers and installing them via NVIDIA (*facepalm) I'm still getting the same problem... hmm. except now I can confirm I have just one 260M running, not two. SLi still blackscreens.

    go to safe mode and reinstall anything you want then boot normally.
