ssj92 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just to copy/paste in the event that post ever gets deleted or something: Further reading of experiences around the AGA in this and other forums, made me even try the plug and unplug technique proven to work by some users with the 3000 series (https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware/PCI-e-3-0-x4-for-ampere-3080-3090-question/m-p/7894720#M43691), however I had no luck until I did the following: Uninstalled AWCC using Revo uninstaller (advanced scan and deleting found entries is mandatory after uninstalling) Restarted system Uninstalled Nvidia drivers Restarted system Installed the Chipset INF utility Restarted the system Located the following subkey in regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PnP\Pci Generated the HackFlags entry with a value data of 200 as depicted here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/error-attach-pci-express-expansion-chassis) Reinstalled Nvidia drivers using the latest package Restarted system The card was still being detected as “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter”, so I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers Restarted the system Generated the HackFlags entry with a value data of 400 as previously described (this value worked for me) Reinstalled Nvidia drivers Restarted the system After restarting, the card was outputting video and recognized as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Reinstalled the latest AWCC Restarted the system After restarting, the card and AGA were also being recognized in the AWCC Important notes: The HackFlags entry never worked for me until I uninstalled the NVIDIA drivers each time I modified the subkey; for this reason I suggest testing systematically the 200, 400 and 600 values always uninstalling and reinstalling. Apparently AWCC can interfere with process since I tried everything depicted below and it did not work until AWCC was uninstalled. The AGA and card were connected to my laptop the whole time Alienware Area-51M : Intel Core i9-9900K @ 5.3Ghz | nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 | AX210 | Samsung 970 Evo+ Alienware X14 R1 : Intel Core i7 12700H 12th-Gen | nVidia GeForce RTX 3060 | AX411 | SK Hynix 2TB PCIe4 Alienware M18x R2 : Intel Core i7 3920XM @ 4.7Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 3000 | AX210 | Samsung 980 PRO Alienware 18 R1 : Intel Core i7 4930MX @ 4.0Ghz | nVidia Quadro RTX 3000 | AX210 | SK Hynix 1TB NVMe Clevo X170SM-G: Intel Core i7 10700K @ Stock | nVidia GeForce RTX 2070S | AX210 | 256GB+2x512GB CS Studios YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CSStudiosYT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
