Thanks Arise, you are right. I finally found the culprit, it was the pcie riser, tried with another one that isn't powered and works perfectly fine. I'm not sure if the riser is faulty or something else is amiss but seems fine without a powered riser. Wish i have written on this forum before making the stupid decision to buy an exp gdc board.

Thanks Arise for the reply. Already tried that solution, but as i've mentioned above everything goes black after installing the nvidia driver. I'm using an external PSU with a riser like in the picture to power up the gpu. Tried with an ATI card as well but the same happens, after installing the driver the screen goes black. It seems like the motherboard is not made to support an eGPU at all? - - - Updated - - - Yes, the monitor is connected to the eGPU not the internal one and boots fine until the windows drivers are installed. I've tried a clean install, linux and even another ATI card but the same thing happens every time. Black screen after the drivers are installed.

Hello, I'm trying to use an eGPU in a mini-itx box that i've made recently but with no success. The setup is: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87-TN: GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-H87TN (rev. 1.0) CPU: Intel I5-4570s RAM: 8GB eGPU: GTX 560-Ti OS: Windows 8.1 pro I've tried to connect this in two ways: - With the internal PCI-E x4 slot. The GPU is recognised this way and windows boots, but after i install the driver and restart everything goes black. In device manager i only see the nvidia gpu, i think the intel hd is disabled by default. If i try to connect the gpu after windows has booted, it automatically shuts down. Doesn't work if i try sleep first either. - I've also bought and EXP GDC v6, but this is even worse. After i connect everything, the screen just stays black, it won't boot at all no matter what i do. If i first boot it up and then connect the eGPU, it won't get recognised in windows. My question is, will setup 1.x help me at all with this problem? Or i should give up on this little project? Thanks in advance.
