Hey, I am struggling to get my setup to work and was hoping that someone here could give me some help. I have the following setup: - 2012 MBP with Windows 8.1 UEFI - Sonnet Echo Express - Asus GTX 770 - Corsair VS Series 650 The GTX 770 is in the PCIe slot of the Sonnet and powered by one 8-pin and one 6-pin connector from the PSU. I used the paperclip trick to turn on the PSU and my display is connected via a VGA to DVI adapter to the graphics card (it only has VGA unfortunately). I installed the latest drivers and the setup at least said that they were successfully installed. The card is detected correctly as a GTX 770, however I am getting an error 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems". Fans of the PSU and card are spinning, but the external display stays black. I already tried several different boot sequences. So far no success with any of them though. Also I figured the VGA connection might be an issue, so I tried a TV with HDMI, but no luck. From what I've learned so far Error 43 could also mean that something is wrong with the card itself. I really hope that is not the case though. Any suggestions what I could have done wrong?

I already tried several different boot sequences. So far no success with any of them. I also thought that could be an issue, so I tried a TV with HDMI, but no luck (my display only has VGA). Though I didn't try all the boot sequences with HDMI yet, so I might try that. From what I've learned so far Error 43 could also mean that something is wrong with the card itself. I really hope that is not the case. Unfortunately the Troubleshoot FAQ only talks about Error 43 in Windows 7 though. Anyway, I guess I'll try the other thread then. Thanks for the help. -

Sonnet power cable is plugged in and thunderbolt cable is connected to MBP. The GTX 770 is in the PCIe slot of the Sonnet and one 8-pin and one 6-pin connector from the PSU are plugged into it, too. I used the paperclip trick to turn on the PSU and finally the display is connected via a VGA to DVI adapter to the graphics card.

Hey guys, can anyone confirm that this setup might not be working with an external Monitor via VGA under OSX? I got my GTX 650 running under Windows 8.1 with my Monitor connected via VGA, however in OSX it stays black and is not recognized. The card shows up though in System Report under graphics. I tried connecting my TV via HDMI under OSX which worked fine. Still I'd prefer to use my monitor over the TV if possible...
