> I loaded the graphics driver but it didnt change. Someone suggested to change "Switchable Graphics" to "UMA" in BIOS but i couldnt find any such option in my laptop BIOS.
It only had two options for Switchable Graphics "Fixed" and "Dynamic".

Hi Somik,

 

I have the same problem with a GT 630 and a laptop HP DV6 6b03ss and the adapter as yours. I'm able to install the drivers (the software detects perfectly the graphics card) but then it appears the code 12 that is about resources overload. I'm using Windows 10 64bit but I think I'm gonna downgrade to windows 7 because Windows 10 deals with the drivers in a very strict way and windows 7 it's more versatile in this aspect.  

 

My bios is the same as yours, I only have the dynamic and fixed mode switch. Yesterday I tried to put it on fixed mode, uninstall all the display drivers including the integrated Intel HD 3000 and finally install the GT 630 (Blocking all kind of windows updates to prevent automatic controllers instalations). With this configuration I was able to solve the code 12 error, but another error ocurred, the code 43.

 

CODE 43:

A device driver notified the operating system that the device failed.

This circumstance can occur if the device hardware fails or if the device driver fails.

 

After this error, I've tried to solve it switching the bios to dynamic mode again and installing older drivers, and it made it worse, now at the startup, windows shows a blue screen with the following error:

SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION (nvlddmkm.sys)

This makes me think that the Bios is blocking this kind of configuration disabling the graphics for security purposes (I think it's something about the whitelist bios, but I'm not sure).

 

Now i'm lost and I don't know what to do, I don't open a new thread because I think we are in the same situation.

 

Thank you for sharing your problem, finding another person with the same problem it really helps in this kind of situations.

Someone help us!

Thank you in advance.

Hi Enda,

 

thanks for the post.. I have almost given up on finding a solution to the blue screen problem. Still own a beast and card which does not allow me to play any games. Please let me know if you are able to solve the problem yourself - I also think that it's a whitelist issue or BIOS restriction specific to HP

Hi!

I have HP Pavilion dv7 and NVidia GTX 650Ti, win7 x64.

I solved errors 12 and 43 with the help of DIY program. Windows works perfect, there is no errors in device manager. 

But when I try to launch any game or video the blue screen appears(((

Dont know what to do. 

Do you know anything about LED indicator on the adapter? Why is it red? On every video guides it is blue.

May be something wrong with the power source?

Hi,

 

I have tried below setup and got stuck with BIOS BLUE screen error. Can someone please help me with the correct modded BIOS and the steps to use it. Would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks

 

My setup-

HP Laptop DV7t-6c00,  GTX 1050ti and eGPU Beast 8.0

BIOS is F.1C

 

Steps so far -

 > Connected eGPU and got blue screen, so TURN ON eGPU only after Windows loads

 > Now Device Manager shows that GTX 1050ti needs a restart but i still get BLUE screen BIOS error with auto-restart whenever i start laptop with the eGPU as ON. It goes on in loop.

 

Thanks,

Somik
