  1. Hello everyone. I have an interesting, but I suspect common problem with the EXP GDC Beast Version 7.0 (this one uses the mini PCI express slot on the motherboard) I'll give my specs here first: Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P75-A7200 Processor: Intel i7-4700MQ CPU - Eight cores OS: Windows 10, 64 Bit PSU: Sentey Metal Blade Power Modular - 1000W GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 960 (Previously used the Windforce II model of the GTX 960. I'll explain why I returned it later) I have the CTD switch to the right, and the PTD switch all the way to the left. My problem is this. I can boot the laptop fine, and it will detect the graphics card. I used two different ones, and this was true in both cases. Having uninstalled the dedicated graphics driver prior to booting up with the EXP GDC, I would install the driver that came with the card (in both cases, 355.82), and try to play a game. In nearly every case, I could get no more than five minutes of time before encountering driver errors (Nvidia driver has stopped responding and has recovered). These errors show up in clusters, causing my monitor to lose its display and then come back several times in a row before allowing me a chance to leave the game. When this happened though - it would be a sort of kiss of death. The computer would eventually reach a state where it felt it had to reboot, or where the display wouldn't come back at all, and I'd have to do a hard reset - even if I refrained from doing anything graphically intensive after that. I got the PSU checked today - the PSU is running fine, and at 1000 watts, it should have no issue supply the needed power. The card I'm using has one eight pin socket, which is connected directly to said PSU I have also tried different drivers. The ones I've tried more or less did the same thing - but I had done this swapping on the windforce. I also tried the tdrdelay trick, but that made it worse, so I reverted it. I did have a session that lasted for four hours before the computer suddenly crashed. When I went to see why - the windforce had overheated - which is why I traded the card in for the EVGA. With the same problems though, and the PSU ruled out, it looks like there's another issue - which has frustrated me for the last three weeks. The only light that has ever deigned to activate on the exp gdc unit is the red one. I'm told this is normal, but I thought I'd add that. Any help would be appreciated.
