Orson Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi all. The whole set is working fine, right now I'm going to buy GTX 750 Ti but one thing irritates me a lot - "Nvidia Driver stopped responding" error. I am getting this glitch every few minutes, but only when surfing internet, watch movies, etc, games run smoothly (I mean with no errors, GT 730 does not let to play smoothly ). Usually it gets right by itself but sometimes I have to restart my TV or even hard reset the notebook. While gaming, stability is fine and I get no errors whatsoever. What causes such glitches? I noticed, that it happens every time I plug something off from the socket bar. I could point to small voltage peaks influencing a shitty EXP GDC electronics but I am not entirely sure. Even when I don't touch the bar I keep getting this error every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I have a system with the same misery and tried with exp gdc and pe4c adapters and both failed time-time when plugged in another charger in the same room, so its probably not the adapter. Same thing, in 2d so much more driver crashes, in 3d just sometimes. I think thats some misery where 1 system plugged in with 2 wires to the electricity network because all the parts working fine in the same room with a traditional desktop system(psu+gpu). So my next step is to power the notebook with the same psu (12-20volt dcdc converter), its worth 3 bucks for sience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure I'm following - You want to use one power supply for both notebook and eGPU adapter? What PSU do You use? Mine is classic 220W dell. Edited April 18, 2016 by Orson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes, im using a coolermaster 550w atx psu and right now waiting for dcdc converter shipping(2-3 weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sounds interesting. Where have You ordered the converter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 From ebay [link], but nothing guarantees it will solve anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doink Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Funny part is running dota2 in the background(windowed with engine_no_focus_sleep "0") while browsing almost ~100% solves this issue. Btw i'm still waiting for the converter, but i can confirm running from battery without the charger helps nothing... So we need some electrician expert here who has idea what is going on. Usually when these crashes happen the gpu fans stops spinnig(system freezes) but sometimes just black screen and freeze or black screen and music continues.

In my case, the fan starts to run widely and then slows down. And yes, music/sound is untouched. Anyway - maybe it's caused by optimus? Ever tried to disable it? I'm afraid I don't have such option in my Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doink Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) dc-dc converter arrived and the same shit happens, its not that sensitive now at least but still crashes. Plugging in a random 120w notebook charger still kills it almost all the time. Edited May 8, 2016 by Doink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Update: i just put the atx psu as far as possible from the egpu and it solved the problem so there is some interference happening between those guys. Probably a metal case could shield them but i don't care enough to start building cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabloretriever Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Hi, i also have exact problem. Now i put the exp gdc outside the pc closure. Do you think that using ups or surge protector could solve the problem? Edited August 31, 2017 by diabloretriever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
