I took apart my m14x r2 to clean it out and re-apply thermal paste, cause my dedicate gpu stopped being detected in BIOS. After reassembly everything seemed fine, but after ~10 hours it just shut off with no restart. It would power back up and after 1-2 seconds turn off. After disconnecting the charger and letting it sit for a day it turns on but then it repeats the whole process again. I'm on regular bios A14. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thank-you My AKiTiO Thunder 2 arrived this morning. I have a DA-2, just waiting on cables and trying to decided on a graphics card now. I'll be sure to do a write up when I've got a setup sorted.

So when there is no physical connection between the Monitors and the MacBook during gaming and is just occurs under 3D load I would assume that is related to electromagnetic interference. Seems like your sound hardware is sensitive to such waves and the eGPU is emitting these under load. Are you only using the ATX PSU to power the GPU and the AKiTiO? Guess via the powered riser? Is the riser "shielded"? Maybe you can carefully apply some aluminum foil around the flat riser cable? Is the CM Elite 130 closed? Does the ATX PSU have a connection to ground of you power connector in your house? Can you seperate (create a distance) between your sound hardware and the eGPU?

Never had this issue with mine. I'm afraid that your GPU might be dying. If you had GPU issues even before the disassembly it's pretty it's dead. Maybe try to downgrade bios and possibly install unlocked bios from techinferno and try to downclocl your video card. I don't know. Maybe go to some well known service center that you can trust...

I couldn't find anything on this and I'm really new to this so forgive me if this is common knowledge I got an eGPU setup within the week and have been messing with it on my Sager NP5165 / Clevo W150HRM laptop, I also got eGPU Setup 1.30 I noticed that the setting enable x2 mode didnt work for my laptop or any Series 6 chipset in general because this was controlled by something called the "Flash Descriptor" Didn't even know this existed So I did some research and everything that came up said it couldn't be done or not without doing some form of "hard core hacking of the bios" whatever that means but regardless I couldn't find anything on how to enable this feature I downloaded FPTw64.exe and dumped my bios I opened the bios in FITC.exe version 7.1.20.1119 because from my understanding other versions will give an error upon opening the bios I navigated to PCH Strap 9 and modified the PCIe setting to allow x2 I built the bios but an error was spit out and the file was no good... Opening the file in UEFITool.exe showed that some offsets were changed, attempting to flash the resulting file didnt work So I dumped my Descriptor region with FPTw64.exe "FPTw64.exe -d Dec.bin -Desc" and compared it with my built bios using HxD hex editor The first time I did this there were 17 discrepancies, so I went through each and every one to see what they did Ultimately I narrowed it down to one hexadecimal that controlled the PCIe x2 settings I saved the hex change, opened the file in FITC.exe and sure enough the setting was set to PCIe x2 I used FPTw64.exe to flash the Descriptor region using "FPTw64.exe -f [FILENAME].bin -Desc" The flash was successful except my keyboard stopped working so I had to hard reset Rebooting into eGPU Setup 1.30 showed the change worked Although my understanding is this settings does nothing for me since my laptop is only equipped with a single PCIe x1 port Also my computer has USB 3.0 set to port 2 and ethernet set to port 4 so flashing the modified descriptor region disabled those on my laptop Reverting my Descriptor region required me to use MESET.exe to unlock my flash descriptor to flash back, which is weird because I didn't have to use it the first time I hope this helps someone with a Series 6 chipset who can actually utilize it

Correct, nv_dispi.inf Win 7/8.1. Remember to disable driver signing before installing drivers (Win 8.1). - - - Updated - - - @haXBOXpro the reason for missing Win 10 INFs Windows 10 + Official 353.62 Drivers are Killing Samsung and LG Notebook LCD Display Panels
