I was able to get my Sony VAIO VPCF111FX to do a successful DSDT override, now I have a menu item in device manager that says I have "large memory" when I go to connection by memory. My issue is that every time I connect the eGPU (GTX 760), my computer keeps wanting to re-install the iGPU (310m). Then I end up with code 12 all the time. Ive tried pressing f8 and waiting in boot menu, plugging it in and then starting windows. Nothing. One time I was able to install the driver of another card onto the laptop and it was able to read the card and I messed around with clock speeds but after a few more tests my computer shut off and I was back to code 12. I've tried turning off automatic updates, and I think I will try Setup 1.3 soon but if I've already got the large memory showing up, so I don't want to spend money on something I may not need. Unless there is some crucial part that I am missing from Setup 1.3 that may be a game changer for me, otherwise I hope I can do without. What if I install Ubuntu, may this solve my problem since its OS does not have memory issues? I saw in the code 12 section that Linux does not have this problem. Edit* should I look into finding drivers for my Intel dGPU or will that not yeild any good results?

I am currently trying this now, but I've got an Intel Core i7 - 720QM 1.6ghz

So I am very new to all of this eGPU stuff, and I've got an old 2009 Sony VAIO (VPCF111FX) with 8 GB of RAM installed and an Nvidia 310m dGPU. I got myself one of the newest eGPU boards from B+ with an express card adapter. I'm a pretty standard computer user, but I have somewhat of an idea about what I'm doing. I also follow instructions rather well to the extend of my computer DOS language limitations, but all the n00b aside, I have been trying to install a GTX 760 to my computer. I'm pretty sure I have everything I need, and I've gotten to the point where the option for larger memory shows up in my preference pane for device settings when I go to connections by memory. But obviously when I finally get my laptop to read the card code 12 just pops up and screws me. I have yet to try the DIY eGPU Setup 1.3 process, I have a feeling this might be the source of all my problems but I'm not ready to settle for $25 when so many sources say that by this point I should already be able to use this new card. The computer reads it, everything is plugged in and the drivers have been installed and the other card was disabled. What am I doing wrong? *Don't have pictures of 760 showing up because I'm enjoying it on a desktop right now but it's not mine so I really would like to get this running on my VAIO... Am I doomed?
