15" Late 2011 Macbook Pro with 2.4 GHz i7, Upgraded the RAM to 16GB, Removed Optical Drive, replaced with original HDD and put a SSD in the main drive slot. I'm thinking my RAM upgrade might be part of the problem, and the age of the laptop might be the other part of the problem.

My most recent email from him told me that i would be eligible for a full refund, but I really just want to get the darn thing working. Im wondering if anyone else has got this working with the same model of macbook pro as me. I have downgraded to windows 7 to see if I can get windows to detect the eGPU and then see if I can just resolve error code 12. Does anyone know if the DIY egpu setup software would help with the windows partition of my Macbook?

some of my more recent posts were removed, I assume because It was thought I was trying to game the system for more posts. I am still having trouble getting my eGPU working on the windows side of things. After successfully installing drivers on win7 and getting the dreaded error 12. I upgraded to win10. I now get one of 3 outcomes when I attempt to boot into windows with the eGPU connected, depending on the timing. 1. Boot succesful without eGPU deteceted. 2. Screen goes black, No boot occurs. 3. Freeze at partition selection screen. I do however have the eGPU fully functional in OSX. Has anyone ever had any success with using Parallels with their eGPU to game in windows? To be honest Im not trying to get incredible performance out of it, I just want to be able to play a few steam games without my MBP overheating and shutting down. Does anyone have any further advice?

Not that I can see. I dont see it under "Display Adapters", or Other "Devices". Im starting to wonder if the windows partition is even booting when I select it from the partition selector, As my keyboard backlight is not on. Its almost like my boot just stops after I select the Windows partition. The question becomes, perform a clean install of 10? or downgrade to 7? Or with neither help my situation and thus is it tied to another issue? I am thinking that my solid state drive upgrade might have something to do with, as my boot happens in close to 1 second. Following these instrusctions I am still booting to a totally blank internal display.

I am looking for some help from this community. I have searched around and read a lot of FAQs on these forums and still seem to be having some trouble and was hoping I might be able to get some guidance. After reading the Bizon box rip-off thread It seemed like the major complaint was the outrageous price. Due to a lack of time to work on projects like a DIY eGPU, I bought a Bizon Box at a $200 discount, thinking I was paying about $100 or so to spare me the time of putting this whole thing together myself. "Bizon-Tech" support seemed helpful at first but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with them... I apologize in advance If this is posted in the wrong place, or if I could have chosen a better title for my post. My hardware is as follows: Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011 Model HDD drive swapped for an SSD Optical drive removed and replaced with an HDD Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 Home Bizon Box aka AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box with ZOTAC gtx970 Using "Bizon-Tech's" setup guide I managed to get all drivers installed on my OSX partition, however, anytime I start a game in Steam it opens and then Immediately crashed before any graphics are rendered. This does not bother me too terribly much because I really want to use this egpu on my windows partition, however, when I try to install drivers I get... NVIDIA installer cannot continue This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Which I assume is because the system is not recognizing the card. However when I plug the egpu in before I boot my windows partition, the internal display does not work, making it impossible to do anything. I tried uninstalling my current video drivers, and the internal display worked when I booted with the egpu already connected, but I was unable to install the drivers, i.e. windows was still not recognizing the egpu. "Bizon-tech support" said downgrading back to windows 7 "might" help, recommended bootlegging a copy of Windows 8.1, and also recommended clean installing win10 instead of using an upgrade from win7. Can anyone give me any sort of guidance on how to get my drivers installed in windows?
