    Hello,
    My setup is
    Lenovo T520, 6GB Ram, Intel HD 3000.
    I bought PE4C-EC3C V1.2 and Nvidia GTX 470, which is powered by a 400 W Power supply (which only has 20 pin power connector though)

    The eGPU and VideoCard are detected w/o problems and Device manager shows no errors.
    The issue that I face is that with newer NVidia Drivers e.g. 3xx, the external LCD is not Detected
    With older drivers e.g. 258 - the external LCD is detected, but
    1. If I boot with egpu connected- it automatically switches to the external LCD, I can login, and right after login - the system freezes
    2. If I boot w/o the egpu and connect it after windows booted - windows starts switching screens and finally freezes
    3. If I connect it during Sleep - then the laptop will not even go out of sleep mode.

    I am not using Setup 1.xx, as the installation of the gpu completed successfully

    I hope someone can help me
