You could try using DDU to remove all traces of drivers before reinstalling the latest drivers - only ever used it for NVidia drivers, but memory tells me they do AMD too.i_pk_pjers_i likes this. -

You could try swapping the cards and reseating the Xfire cable and giving them a re-paste.

Fallout 4 Performance Report!
I am happy to announce that Fallout 4 runs well AT LAUNCH (for once) on Sager NP9377! I am playing with ULTRA settings except God Rays on medium and get constant 60 FPS. However, 1 caveat:
SLI currently does not work! Hoping this is enabled at some point.
GPU usage ranges from approximately 50%-93% depending on the area (inside or outside, day or night). Temperature on the GPU hasn't gone above 71 to 75 Celsius in over 1 hour of playing.
Conclusion: Even left to one GTX 980M Fallout 4 runs well AT LAUNCH.
Anyone think SLI will get enabled later on though?
Cheers!
EDIT: I raised the approximate average GPU usage and temperatures after playing a little more. Still running well. Had to disable SLI entirely though.Last edited: Nov 10, 2015hmscott and MickyD1234 like this. -

How are you moving from driver to driver? Clean installs or over the top?

Hopefully it's just the xfire cable or similar.

I'm about to blow a gasket... Came in to watch Hulu, it wouldn't load so I rebooted... BSOD System_Thread_Exception_Not_Handled... Wouldn't boot into safe mode or anything... Had to refresh my PC in order to fix it. Not that I had a lot of apps on there but really? That's also a new BSOD for me, I haven't seen it before and I find it odd that it happened when I haven't installed any new apps or updates.

Well that's lovely... It was ntoskrnl.exe and ntkrnlmp.exe that triggered the crashes. That would generally be a voltage issue except that after the first crash the system reset the CPU to its defaults and it did it again so I have no idea.

Did an optimized reset in the BIOS and left the CSM option off after it just did it to me again... Let's see if it continues. I'm running everything stock but I forgot that CSM can be glitchy. I don't know why it chose just now to glitch though. Maybe I should just go to Windows 10 and get on with it...

Try disabling streaming - or don't install GeForce package (or 3D Vision) - disable / don't install anything you don't use. -

That kernel error is what I see when I don't do a chkdsk after a few crashes when tuning - which can get ugly pretty quick. These days I do a chkdsk after every unplanned shutdown - even if it comes up at first and says it's ok and you don't need to scan, I still scan - and often it tells me to Repair - and I reboot repair immediately.
If you are running write-back cache in RST that increases the risk of corruption from a crash.
I was just playing with 4.2ghz again, and had a series of crashes while pushing things, and ended up turning off write-back cache, I got tired of the constant Repair reboots
Hopefully it's only disk corruptions -
Considering it did it after a refresh, which is basically a full OS reinstall without losing customizations, I can assure you it isn't disk corruption.

0 errors on iRST. I think it's just a stupid random windows error. I hadn't installed a single system update since I got the original install fixed that Sager botched so I'm installing all updates and then removing the 10 and telemetry updates with my batch script.
-
Wow chkdsk was sure fast... No errors either.

Has anyone tested a full size 980 in there clevo yet? Thinking about upgrading from a single 980m.

Yes no extra room at all for a larger PCB.

Hey all, does anyone know if I remove the primary GPU will the machine boot and run just of the secondary or does it simply look at the first GPU ?
Trying to work out if my 2nd GPU port is dead before I shell out $100 on a new crossfire cable
Both cards work fine off the first port but half the screen artifacts when crossfire enabled no matter what card is in what bay
Literally can't be arsed stripping it down again if there is no benefit to doing so
Cheers

I'll plump up and buy a replacement crossfire cable and hopefully it might be the problem
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk -
I would contact them and see if the cable works in the SM-A as well (I don't see why it wouldn't, the SM-A is a minor refresh of the SM and its in the parts section for the P377SM-A as well). Save some bucks. -

You know, I think my fan control is whack... Whenever I fire up a game, the GPU fans kick up just a bit (like maybe 20-30%) and temps quickly rise up to the 80s and the fans don't go any higher but when I saw that, I forced max fans and it dropped all the way down to 66C - and that was playing Witcher 3 maxed out (including Hairworks and HBAO+) on a single GPU! I wish there was a way to manually control the fans... if I could get them to run at the 80% they used to run at with 880Ms, I would be thrilled... forced max fans is stupid loud, you can hear it all through the basement :/

Courier shipping to the UK is about that expensive yes.

How difficult would it be to upgrade my NP9377 from its current single 980M to dual 980M?
I bought my set in the US and have since moved overseas. There's a local Clevo reseller where I am at now that sells that P377-SM as a local variant and offers the upgrade on other Clevo machines but reading up on the process, involving vbios flashing and what not, makes me rather uncomfortable to have it done by someone other than Sager.
I've done some reading that, on the other hand, says that since the NP9377 natively support 980m, its just a plug and play. -

Yeah, it should be somewhat easy to install. Just make sure that it comes with the appropriate heatsink as well, but I believe most Clevo sellers will include that already.

The bios can read the GPU as "unknown" but still interface with the card just fine.
