Hello There Forum , Thank You For This Amazing Thread And So Helpful And Amazing Skills Were Used Here Espically Nando4 So Here is My Problem And Story with it :
First My Laptop Iam Using Is Dell XPS 1645 (i7 , 2GB RAM , 500 GB HDD , ATI 5730 Raedon , INTEL CHIPSET PM55 ) And My eGPU Is ( Nvidia GTX 680 Classified 4 GB GDDR5 , PSU 550 Watt)
Setup I GOT : ( 1.x Setup ) , (Nvidia - Verde Driver V.306.97 WHQL , With Modded nvam.inf) , (PE4H v 2.4 With EC2C , Delay Switch Putted On SW1 , Default (0) Seconds)
Screenshot Of My Setup 1.x :
I Am Getting Error 43 Which I Really Searched The Old Thread From The Notebook Reviews Forum and Searched The Troubleshoot section for the Fix , I Tried The Latest Fix There By Nando4 , And What I Did is :
1.Boot eGPU Setup 1.x with 2GB installed ( I Am Already Only Using 2 GB OF Ram), run Setup 1.x, select to Video Cards->Save(Win) and follow instructions generated from within Windows.
2. Doing Insturctions on Save (WIN) Option And Booted Win7 Set PC To Sleep , Connect eGPU EC2C Card , Power On , Created The Dump PCI Using RW-Everything Version (1.5.3.7) , Restarted!
3. Boot eGPU Setup 1.x ( eGPU Was Connected Already!)
- select Video cards->Load to load the PCI space dump created when it was working with no error 43. <-------- ( When Dump Created Using Windows Error 43 Was Still There , and As Instructions It Says It's Okay)
- Check Nv-Flash I Get This Message " Nvidia Display Adapters Present in System : No Nvidia Display Drivers Found " ( But I Had The Verde Nvidia Driver Already Installed And My GPU Is Detected At Device Manager As Nvidia GTX 680 But With Error 43)
- perform 32-bit PCI compaction on the iGPU+eGPU.
- select startup.bat->edit, remove the 'call vidinit' since it might interfere with your load dump.
- select Apply config.Run startup.bat
- select Chainload mbr
After Last Step When i Boot My Windows I get (Error 10) In Device Manager , Also I Tried to Sleep (Stand By) -Power On eGPU - Plug It In , Power Win7 on Back From Sleep Mode- And I Also Get 43 Error After Blinking Screen Black and back to normal
So Iam Totally Confused About The Hotplug Is it When i boot setup 1.x I Plug My Egpu and Press F5 To Refresh And Then Do The Error 43 Fix Steps Above and After Chainload mbr I Boot Normally Or Shall i Remove Card And Re-insert it Ater Windows Boot I Don't Know About That ! I tried All BTW but same result error 43
Iam totally Confused If someone whom been through this can provide me with full Details , And Sort the Steps for me from first to last i would be so thankfull i really wanna test my New GPU
Thanks So Much
