Hey everyone! First of all, I'd like to thank everyone contributing on these forums, it's awesome that so many people are working together to figure out eGPU setups! Here's my hardware setup : - 2015 retina MBP (i7 Intel Iris 6100) - Akitio Thunder 2 - 500W EVGA ATX PSU - Nvidia EVGA GTX 960 Notes : - Using the barrel plug mod with the ATX PSU to power the eGPU setup on its own. - The GPU fits into the Akitio without any mods, no riser needed. - I can boot and use the eGPU in OSX El Capitan no problem, I can confirm the hardware works properly. I used the automated script, worked like a charm. My problem : I simply cannot get it to work on Windows 10. I have tried every boot sequence I read about on these forums. If I install a fresh copy of windows or uninstall the nvidia drivers with the uninstall tool, I can manage a boot. I see the "Basic display driver" in the device manager and can install the Nvidia driver no problem. Once the driver is installed and I restart I can never get past the spinning wheel with the eGPU powered and connected at boot. Sometimes I get" BAD_POOL_CALLER" or some IRQ Thing BSODs instead. Other times Windows tried to repair itself. If I try to plug it in during the spinning wheel I either get the no driver installed error or Error 12 (I only managed to get error 12 once, don't remember how I did it) I've seen talk about DSDT overrides or using DIY eGPU Setup 1.20 or 1.30 but I'm not sure it will actually fix my problem or what will fix my problem? Can anyone enlighten me on what I am not doing or doing wrong? Thanks!
