EGPU issues on Acer Laptop

Hello, 

 

Sorry is this is the wrong section I am new here

 

 

Before I start I am connecting though my old wifi card slot. A  PCI Mini

 

I recently brought a Nvidia GTX 950 along with a EXP GDC GPU dock (Latest Version) and a 550w power supply plugged into the 6pin slot on the dock.

I have had some issues with the setup, I have everything powered however, when I boot i get a black screen with some back light on my screen on the laptop and nothing happens. The monitor that is connected to the GPU has no signal. I have tried hot swapping straight after when the bios finished loading and the fan just spins really fast like a blow dryer. Also if I plug it in while windows is on nothing happens nor is the GPU detected. If i remove the GPU and the dock is left plug in it will boot up. I am currently running a fresh install of windows 7 with my Intel graphics drivers installed and my 840m is UNINSTALLED. Any solutions to making this GPU work? I tried the delay switch but i had no luck with it. Still gets stuck on a black screen.

 

Specs:

 

I5-4210U + Intergrated graphics

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Nvidia GT 840M (Uninstalled)

Bios version 1.32 Z5WAH

8gb RAM

 

Laptop model:

ACER V3-572G

 

Any help would be fantastic :(

 

Thanks for your time

 

P.S Can anyone tell my why some of the words I write hyperlink to ebay?
