The sound doesnt work because lack of drivers or is it cause of efi install?

Ok! AWSOME! I managed to get windows 8 running and my th05 to, well I guess it works since I can use an external display with the gfx card that sits in the th05. I haven't bought a better gfx card yet so no benchmarks can be run. The problem with the "IRQL_Less_or_equal" was in fact the built in webcam, I unplugged it and it booted like a charm, dunno why but I am going to test it again now that the drivers are installed. So I guess maybe that should be added to the guide as well. Will get back to you when I have managed to get a better gfx to try with.

Have seen this message too but its usually gone after one reboot.

Try to boot savemode or low VGA.

Its very strange, I keep getting this all the time even when i try to boot windows 8 installation thru the USB.

I got it to boot into windows 8 once, but then it installed the drivers for the intel 3000 so it got a black screen then after that i removed the file again but it keeps saying "IRQL_Less_or_equal"

I've done as the guide says but I'm getting "IRQL_Less_or_equal" when trying to boot, I've a MBP 15" Late 2011 Core i7 2,4ghz, 8gb ram.

- Update!

I have managed to get win 8 to work it was my Built in webcam that was causing the IRQ problems, i disconnected it from the motherboard and it all ran fine!

I followed Teknotronix guide to install win8 but it wont boot, it says "IRQ_Less_or_equal" any ideas?

Check here for instructions.

Thnx for the reply, but since it worked without installing first on a pc for Tech Inferno Fan i was thinking it would work for me to

I tried tonight to install win8 from a usb stick to a completely wiped harddrive.

The installation goes well until it says "Windows 8 could not update boot configuration" This is when the last steps are perfomed, any ideas? (I'm downloading a fresh copy from msdn network right now to see if it could be an old iso i am using)

//P

::Edit::

No luck with the new iso either :/

So we are getting closer to get optimus to work on mbp 15"?

I've a MBP 15" late 2011 with dGPU Radeon 6770 and iGPU Intel 3000, would your solution work for this one to?

I'm going to try to install win 8 efi mode tonight....

There seems to be some success installing Windows in EFI mode (without sound as usual). Another blog about TH05 and MAC.

Yeah I saw that, the only thing is that if i can't use the Intel driver then i can't use optimus which i really would like to.

So I guess i am stuck then?

The biggest problem is that there isn't a good guide how to use egpu setup, as I asked before do i need to compile my own pci file?

Alright, just because I know how irritating it is to not be helped when others are.

I can't help you, (I haven't even set up my 1st eGPU) but I know that if I could help you, I'd ask:

1. Did you follow everything posted in "First Steps" in the OP?

2. Did you go through the FAQ?

3. Can you ask for help as described in the FAQ?

As for DNA Drivers, they're apparently not going to be up for a while, as per their Facebook page.

Same goes for you. You haven't mentioned what OS you're using... if you're running Mac OS, maybe this will help.

Runing win7 64bit

And if somebody could answer mine would be so great! I really would like to get this running!

Try this but i heared some guys had no problems using egpu setup on mbp 2011.

Thanks but will this solve my problem when the computer hangs when doing compact?

Or do i need to do my own pci file?

i really dont know how to use egpu setup so please if somebody can tell me

Thanks. I'll do so in a second.

It's hard to take screenshots without del-key thats why i just added a few images. TOLUD shouldn't be a problem on MBP right?

Edit: Uploaded the full diag folder MBP-R_GTX560ti_TH05_diag.zip (374,64 KB) - uploaded.to

BTW: just read up the thread and saw some problems using eGPU Setup combined with new MacBooks. I had the same problems while mounting the image (actually i couldn't launch eGPU Setup at all because of an OPCODE failure) but had almost no trouble using an usb flash drive.

How did you do to put it on a usb flash drive? I''ve a macbook pro late 2011 15".

I would be truly greatfull if somebody could write me a guide or something how to use egpu setup, because when I try things in it right now it says "PCI bad command or filename"
