    Hi all,

    Thanks so much to all of you who have put so much into making this possible. It's awesome.

    Thanks expecially to Nando. DIY eGPU Setup 1.x isvery cool.

    I'm having some problems getting my egpu to work consistantly.
    When it works its brilliant fast and runs cool.
    But it is very hard to get it to boot in and not freeze or show error 12 or just show up at all.

    Lenovo x220t with i7 and 8gb
    zotac 660ti amp
    vidock 4 plus

    i purchased DIY eGPU Setup 1.x to try to get everythings setup ideally

    I'm not sure if I'm chainloading correctly.
    I'm trying to use UEFI mode.
    Not sure I need to on lenovo. If it is needed not sure menu file is correct for lenovo.

    Lenovo has setup partition that seems to have the MBR on it.

    I think I'm using compact right and it looks like it should work. I get 256MB free.

    Do you still need special drivers with a modded .inf file if you want to use the internal lcd? I get awesome performance at 1.2Opt internal when it works and it can run all night long playing metro 2033 and BF3 very stable. But it's mostly miss on trying to get it up and running.

    I know people have gotten x220t's with 8gb working and they even said that they didn't need compaction it just worked. They were using new PE4L.

    Thanks for any help.
