I'm trying to give my old 15" Asus X54C laptop some gaming life with a EGPU.
The setup i have:
ASUS x54c Intel CPU/GPU
[Mini PCI-E Version] V8.0 EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock
Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3 ram (I will buy a better one after i get this to work with the laptop)
What i did until now:
I connected the adapter, the power supply, the PCI-E cable to the PCI-E wifi card slot, Monitor to the R7....
After booting up the laptop the fan of the power supply and graphics card start to spin and the adapter emits a blue light showing that it is "working"
PROBLEM: Black screen on laptop and external monitor.
If i power on the setup after windows boot the card is not recognised in device manager.
I tried to hot swap the wifi card with the setup and the card showed up in the device manager but i wasn't able to make it work even after instaling drivers, rebooting and hot swapping again.
Please Help!
