Setup 1.30 Discussion
in DIY e-GPU Projects

Dear Nando
I'm not absolutely certain if you want comprehensive support-questions like this in this thread, and if you don't, I'm ready to comply.
My issue is a very persistent error 12 that, by all I know, shouldn't be there at all, but nonetheless decisively refuses to disappear, no matter what I try. I'm going to give you a quick overview of the current state of affairs, that I will expand on demand.
The system in question is as follows:
– Alienware m17x R3; Win7 Home Premium
– 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Chipset (HM67 with i7-2760QM)
– Has an Intel iGPU (HD Graphics 3000).
– Had an ATI dGPU, which I physically removed (HD 6990M).
– I'm using a BPlus PE4C V1.2 (mPCIe) with an NVidia GeForce 210 (also tested to no avail with an NVidia GeForce GTS 450 and an ATI Radeon HD 3870x2).
– TOLUD is 2.49 GB as read out by Setup 1.3.
Now this is what I already did (not necessarily in this order; and in varying combinations with several windows reinstalls in between):
Still, after all this – error 12 in all cases. I’m almost at my wits end now, having tried pretty much everything the internet seems to have to offer on this matter; even though error 12 shouldn’t have occurred in the first place, with my TOLUD being well in the acceptable range (plus the address-space being freed up by the removed dGPU; and the laptop even has unused RAM upgrade capabilities, which, as far as I know, should translate into even more free address-space).
Now I wonder if you see something essential that I forgot to try, or if you, who in contrary to me knows what he is talking about and has tons of experience in this field, may have some further ideas to takle that error 12.
=> If needed I will readily provide further information.
