  1. That is correct, I can't seem to get the internal monitor work with the egpu on Windows 10. external works fine.
  2. In regards to the reset loop, I followed someone's advice (I can't remember who) and did the following: 1. Turn on MacBook while holding the 'option button'. You will load into a screen where it prompts you to boot Windows or OS. Make sure egpu is off 2. Wait for 3 to 5 seconds 3. Turn on egpu 4. Wait for 3 to 5 seconds 5. Select and boot into Windows or OSX.
  3. Macbook Model: 13'' 2014 Mac Pro - i7 3.0ghz, 8gb Ram GPU Model: LeadTek Hurricane GTX 970 External: Thunderbolt 2 Akitio chassis Power Supply: DA-2 Dell 220W, modified pci-e split with dc barrel, paper clip trck Operating System: Windows 10 Home Hey guys, I have finished building my egpu using Dschijn's guide, however I'm experiencing a few problems and would like your expertise or input in pinpointing the problem. The problems I am experiencing are: Windows would go in reboot loop each time I start up with my egpu on. Once I disconnect the egpu, windows logs in fine. When I sometimes do successfully log onto windows with the egpu, the device manager in windows reports that my egpu is detected and is working fine. No system errors are reported from the device manager Once I do start up a game or a benchmark test, the software would freeze or crash immediately. What I've troubleshoot so far: I've installed multiple versions of the Nvidia display drivers. From 350.12, the latest driver 361.43 as well as drivers from windows 7 and 8. They've all installed fine. However, end up with the same reset loop error, or freeze/crash when starting a game. I've tried installing windows 7 with different drivers. Same result. I've modified the gpu by removing bolts, chassis and sawing metal pieces, so that it can fit in the PCI-E slot nice and slugly. Same result. I've tried using an HDMI cable to connect to an external monitor. Same result. What I can conclude: Is not caused by optimus mode Is not due to the GPU being misplaced. I've made sure the gpu is fitted in tight and snugly Because windows can detect my hardware, perhaps the GPU and akitio chassis is not faulty. GPU fans, akitio LED and internal fans are working fine. I would appreciate some input/advice as to where in my setup went wrong. Regards, 06187 or call me 'Numbers'
