okay nando, thank you very much! I will need to sleep a bit over this, but probably eGPU is not really efficient in my case and a new desktop computer the solution with the best price/performance range.

It is working now, but with a very bad performance. With dGPU I have around 6050 in 3dmk6, with the new GTX 760 I onlz have 5403 (SM2: 2139; HDR: 2065; CPU: 2571). I'm using the standard 327.23 nvidia driver right now. Is there anything I can improve using Setup 1.x or with another driver? Whats the best compaction method? (All except SATA oder only eGPU?), should I disable unused ports?

Ui, now I have it working!! I changed language to English and installed Setup 1.x again. I needed to use mkdevcon to make a new devcon.txt. For the compaction I have chosen deactivate dGPU.

I can't remember such a failure during installation (but I didn't pay attention to it yesterday). Now I still have the same problem with PCI compaction: not successful. Please find the current diag after this change here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/khp02154hcqhc9v/diag2.zip I will try to change my Win8 language to English, deinstall Setup 1.x and install again. BTW: simply loading kizwan's DELL 1557 aml was also not working (error screen when loading win8)

I can't remember this failure during installation. But I haven't paid attention to it anyways. For PCI compaction (4GB, selective: only eGPU) was not successful. Please find the current diag after this step at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/khp02154hcqhc9v/diag2.zip

Dear nando, thanks for your fast reply. to 1.) it is detected correctly. On the right side I can find the entries [email protected] (NVidida) and the same for port 5 (p5) to 2/3) I ran it successfully until PCItool snapshot. As written there my system was frozen (I waited >10 minutes). However, please find the result here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v9i6e55h8cgkb1g/diag.zip Now the dsdt.aml was loaded successfully (at least I got not reply at all), but when chainloading Win8.1 shows an error. I guess my dsdt.aml is wrong (to long or something), but I haven't understood that point really well. May it be possible to load kizwans file for the DELL Studio 1557 dsdt_Dell 1557_C8000000_36bit.aml ??

Hello guys, my Dell Studio 1747 with an Core i7 720QM, 4 GB Ram (2x 2GB) and an internal Radeon Mobility 4650 is not working with the eGPU (an EVGA 2GB 760 GTX ). I'm using Windows 8.1 and successfully bought and installed nando's famous Setup 1.x software. I'm getting the popular "code 12 error" when I plug the eGPU in or if I try to boot with it Windows 8.1 is not loading. I also found it is because of my TOLUD (please find my device manager at Bild (mLjRYtlyV7.jpg) anzeigen - imgBOX.de ). To solve it, I tried PCI compaction in Setup 1.x - without success. Regardless of the options I choose I receive in red letters a failure ("Set other PCI compaction options, then try again"). Then I tried a DSDT override. Since I'm using Windows 8 it is not working in the traditional way, but there is a substitution as it can be found here: http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D-28.html#post31421 I generated a dsdt.aml (please find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4w7haqec0cwnr0d/dsdt.aml ) and copied it to my C:\eGPU\dsdt.aml folder. My DSDT = 0xBF7E7000 as you can see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wc9n07lyeiomc9u/DSDT.jpg . If I'm using "pt MEM writefromfile 1 0xBF7E7000 dsdt.aml" I get an error: "file "dsdt.aml" not found (I also copied the dsdt.aml to C:\eGPU\config and C:\config to try it - but without success. Please help me. I really want to get it running. Greetings, Eric
