What am I missing?

Hi all and merry Christmas / happy holidays

 

I bought myself an unknown laptop. It is called Vision Computer, but has no other name. CPU-Z says the mobo is PBL21, and apparently some Clevo laptops and IBuyPower laptops has this mobo.

Anywho, it works, it's fast and was cheap. It has a 4 core 8 thread intel I7 2720QM, 16 gb RAM, Nvidia gt 540m, ssd and a screen. Note that it doesn't have an iGPU only dGPU.

 

First I tried to just plug and play. Didn't succeed.

 

Secondly I did a successful DSDT override, got the large memory, but nope. 

 

Then I tried some stuff with the DIY setup 1.30 although most of the time, it couldn't connect to the eGPU.

 

I have successfully installed the drivers, when the eGPU was detected correctly. But it doesn't want to play ball.

 

Some advice would be nice. :)

Hi and thanks for replying

 

Yes I am using an external monitor. I forgot to mention that. But still no image on screen.

 

The eGPU is an R9 290 from sapphire.

It worked before on my other laptop.

I managed to install the eGPU driver again. I still have the large memory configuration, but the system keeps recognizing it as HD8600/8700M and keeps giving me the code 45 (not plugged in). The DIY consequently doesn't detect my eGPU. 

Can someone please help?
