Okay, update: I tried an old ATI HD3500 or something, got picked up in windows right away after rebooting. I guess it`s the GTX590 that`s not playing nicely here.... Any tips on getting it to work?

Hi all, Not sure if there is a dedicated forum for Ares-V7 adapters, but I`ll give it a shot! Summary of my project: I want to be able to use my X201T for CUDA, and a GTX590 is an ideal card for that, though power consumption is 365W. Specs: Lenovo X201T/win7 32-bit/i5U520/4GB/HDD/EXP GDC Ares 7.0/GTX590/Silverstone ATX 1500W/Dell 220W adapter - bios controller version 1.15/INTA PCI IRQ in bios (8x) set to 11 (dont know what that is) I hooked up everything like this: - GTX590 in EXP GDC Ares 7.0 adapter - hdmi - expresscard to laptop - 2x8-pin on adapter to Dell 220W - 2x8-pin + 2x6-pin from GTX590 to ATX psu Videocard is running, fans spinning nicely, the green LED of the adapter is on. Installed Optimus HD3000 drivers, GTX590 won`t install Upgraded Lenovo bios from 1.17 to 1.40 In BIOS expresscard is ENABLED Also booted with the adapter plugged in Also plugged the adapter right before windows logo, or short after BIOS logo Also switched the little switch and booted up But nothing happens, no recognition in windows after scanning for new hardware. What is missing? I am no expert in this field, but I am kinda clueless by now. Do I need windows 64-bit? All the best, whersmy
