ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme Sli and M.2 Issue

[PeterD]

My core build is as follows
ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme
2 x MSI GTX 980TI in Sli
Samsung 950 Pro m.2 SSD
2TB 7200RPM

I am getting an error when windows loaded
"this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (Code 12)
See http://1drv.ms/1NRRNnc

it appears to relate to the sli card with m.2 hdd.

What i have tried is different brand and model SLI GTX 960 , 2 x different video cards non sli.
Both have the same problem.
If i remove one of the cards it works fine
If i remove m.2 and install on standard hdd it works fine.

I am really not sure if it is not possible to work with m.2 and sli if it is a motherboard or chipset limitation for the number of pcie lanes .

If not can I change to one of the intel PCI 750 Express cards will that have the same problem?

Appreciate all help

These look nice, you can get them in red or black, shipping is kind of slow, i purchased a red one but have not used it yet

Are you using the latest BIOS?

Yes, already using latest BIOS from ASUS website

I have an M8E, 16GB Gskill, 950 Pro in M.2 slot, Intel 750 in bottom pcie slot, 2X 980ti in SLI, no issue



I do have Wifi/BT and Thunderbolt disabled in the bios, Win 10 and Win 7, I will try enabling those and see if there is any issues

I enabled Wifi/BT and Thunderbolt without issue.
Try reinstalling the Intel Chipset driver, if it still won't clear that up, double click on that pci to pci bridge, click on update driver, click on browse for the driver and point it to the motherboard disk or the folder that you have the intel chipset driver saved

We disable the Thunderbolt and seems to work, but when enabled, same problem occur.
Already tried install chipset driver from CD or from ASUS website as well, same issue.
Double click pci to pci bridge to search for driver, none found

With Thunderbolt disabled does device manager still show missing driver? is it the Thunderbolt driver missing.
I guess as long as you don't need Thunderbolt you are OK, not perfect solution
I couldn't install the Win 7 Intel USB 3.1 driver until I found these and then was able to manually install through device manager

If we disabled the Thunderbolt, it doesn't show up in device manager anymore. But we prefer to keep the Thunderbolt enabled, as seems you guys had it working without issue.

Are you using a fresh installation? And which slots are you using for your GPUs?
