Hello!

I made near the same egpu case inspirated by you.

Yeah most of my problems have been PSU-related. I now run my GTX670 with a Dell D220P 220W AC-adapter, no more bluescreens/display driver resets etc.

Of course using the DELL PSU requires some solder skills, so it's probably preferred to just get a 'new' ATX PSU instead.

Please report back!

EDIT 1: The most sensitive part of eGPU-system is the 5v feeding the PE4L, if your PSU is degraded (of age) this voltage can be dipping/ripple = instability.

EDIT 2: Also, check the PE4L's expresscard-cable by lightly wiggle it during benchmark, bad cables is probably the #2 cause of failure.

EDIT 3: #3 cause of failure: Different display card drivers can cause a lot of instability issues, if you know that you recently upgraded/downgraded them, revert back to your 'stable' drivers again.

So...

I bought a new 203w xbox psu. I soldered the floppy and the molex conncectors to the psu. Then, i tryed a lot of benchmarks and games, and everything is work fine!!No blue screen..

All in all, The psu caused the problem....

Thank you!

Hi there.

The first thing I'd do is testing with another PSU, do some benchmarking etc.

Tell me how it goes!

I ran the heaven benchmark. Everything is worked fine.Next, i maxed out the settings,and i started the benchmark, after 1-2 minute i got the blue screen....

I think the problem maybe the psu. Remember, its a very very old p4 psu. I'll try it with a new psu...

I use my egpu setup since 2 or 3 moths, everything is worked fine. But nowadays, i get blue screen death after 10-15 minutes playing.

I run a crash dump analysis with "whocrahsed", and it says:

I reinstalled the driver, but the problem is still there... Please help!
