ule_1 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, I thought I'd give the eGPU a go. Got everything installed and seems to be mostly working in windows 10, however, whenever I start up any 3D application/benchmark, the card/system crashes (with black/blue/green screen and audio looping). I have tried the card in a PC, works ok. Had the PSU (CM 550w) tested - ok. I can get the card to run on 640x480 res, but anything above that = instant crash. Any help is appreciated!

Akitio is powered from the psu via 1x molex through to barrel connector. Any ideas Dschijn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschijn Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Huuuuuuh. Have installed all the latest driver? Bootcamp driver? Nvidia driver? can you run benchmarks? What happends if you monitor the GPU with GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happends if you monitor the GPU with GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner? All the latest drivers, even installed the OS X patch to test in there to ensure it wasn't OS dependent. System crashes after 1 second heaven test in OS X, as it does in windows. Afterburner and GPU-Z doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. I also tried powering the Akitio with the standard power supply that comes with the unit. I have attached a video of the behaviour. The test below crashed to a black screen, however it is sometimes green, purple, etc. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxjEaWeXbHZwNTNVNVJLblpaN2M/view?usp=sharing Thanks for your help Dschijn!

Dschijn Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can you make a test in Windows with lowering the GPU power in MSI Afterburner as much as possible? Also can you test another PSU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find someone with a PSU that I can test with and post back my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ule_1 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I went out and bought another PSU... System works perfectly. I guess the first one I bought was no good, even though it tested ok! Thanks for your help Dschijn, greatly appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
