Whenever I set a custom resolution using CRU or Intel Graphics Control Panel / Command Center after the monitor has gone to sleep, and just at the point it is about to wake up I get a dxgkrnl crash recorded and the monitor stays blank.

I believe CRU and Intel tools use different registry settings, so it's odd there's a problem with both sets of tools.

That sounds like a driver bug that you should report to Intel support, especially since it also affects custom resolutions through their own control panel.

Hi.
I have some problems with nvidia surround.
I got two monitors from ali

and laptop MSI GT72VR with 1 mini Displayport and 1 HDMI. Both monitors connected via these ports.

I tried to create some custom resolutions with different settings in CRU, but it still not working with 3 displays.
Can i do something to make this work?

What resolutions are you trying to add? Do the resolutions work without Surround?

I tried to copy resolution parameters from additional monitors to main and on the contrary. I made it in CRU and in Nvidia control panel. Nothing works properly... The main laptop's monitor doesn't take part in array.

Oh, I misunderstood. If you're trying to make the laptop screen work with Surround, I don't think the driver will allow that. NVIDIA says "Surround is not designed to work with an external monitor and laptop display."

Hi, I have a I7-7700HQ (Kaby Lake) and Windows 10. I tried installing the software mentioned for Kaby lake and I got an error while doing it. Is there a new software I need to install to get this working?

Thank you.

Just try it with the latest driver.

Hey Toasty, I've been using CRU for over a year now and it helps me a lot, thank you. I'm using it on a laptop (MSI GL72 GQD, GTX950m and intel HD 530, i7-6700hq) with a broken screen, with a connected external 120hz monitor. The problem I faced was that most games defaults to 60hz even when desktop was set default to 120hz. My solution was adding a custom resolution below 1280x720 (currently playing on 800x450) and making 120hz the only option for it. However as you might guess it makes games look pretty ugly and sometimes even unplayable. I don't have high hopes for fixing it, but perhaps you have an advise?

If you get rid of all the 60 Hz resolutions on the external monitor with CRU, then 60 Hz shouldn't be available at all. If it's a DisplayPort monitor, all you need is one detailed resolution for 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz and no extension blocks or anything else. If it's an HDMI monitor, import hdmi.dat for an HDMI extension block with no resolutions. Then it should use 120 Hz no matter what.
