Hello everyone! I recently purchased a Tesla M40 GPU, as I cannot afford anything else in this market.

I have been attempting to get it to work in my system to no avail; I originally tried installing the card in the Dell which ended up resulting in a Code 12 resource allocation error (which to my understanding is due to the bios not allocating BAR space for the card correctly). I naively purchase an Asus Q87-M board thinking it would have above 4g decoding but to my surprise it appears that it doesn't. Regardless, I tried changing every other setting in the bios that I could to try and get the card to work (setting pcie to gen 3, disabling audio, etc), but even with the Q87 board I still get the resource allocation error, likely for the same exact reason.

I would imagine there's an option for it in the bios but its just locked away considering the z97 board from Asus does have it unlocked from the factory (logic being same socket/manufacture; apologies if this is incorrect).

I knew going the Tesla route there would be a bit of DIY within windows aswell as cooling etc, I'm just not experienced what so ever modifying bios and I don't want to screw anything up. I do have lot of experience within Windows (and other OSes) w/ python and JavaScript on a hobby level so I'm not too shy about attempting any of this myself as long as I have somewhat beginner friendly instructions.

Anyways, I don't wanna ramble on too much

The latest version of the Q87 bios can be found by searching "Asus Q87-M Bios Update" on Google, unfortunately I am unable to post links

Thanks in advance <3

This motherboard has 32 bit pci slots. Only 64-bit PCI, PCI-X and PCI Express buses support 64-bit decoding.
So this motherboard don't support it.
