Hello there, i hot almost identical specification to yours, although i still encounter some problems in windows. Could you let me know step by step, how did you get it done?

 

I have 
Lenovo y580 i7 3630QM 256GB mSATA , 1TB 5400ot/min , windows 8.0 64bit
i purchased beast v8.0, ASUS MINI GTX 970 COLERMASTER 500W
After following all instruction in your manual i still have some difficulties. It seems like windows see this card...but it does not allow it to work properly.
It shows error 34.
By the way , I am planing to build DIY case later on.
Please see pictures. Do you know any more forums, links where i can het help? 
thank you

I have similar issue. Did you solved it already?

I'm using Lenovo W520, Intel Core i7 2760QM, 12GB RAM on OEM Windows 10 64-bit with Quadro 6000 and Quadro 4000 for Mac, both show same error.

Did you use mPCIe or ExpressCard?

Did you plug the 6 pin auxiliary power cable to the GPU from the PSU?
