Thank you very much, I'll post later with the outcome. But when it comes to the graphics card's fans turning off after 30 seconds, I know that's unusual. Does that maybe mean my power supply isn't enough, or perhaps something else?

Hey everyone, I'm having a frustrating issue trying to use an external graphics card on my laptop. Here's my stuff: -HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC-EXP Beast -MSI GeForce GTX 960 graphics card -650w power supply I have my graphics card hooked up to my computer using the PCIe port. I removed the wireless module that use to be there to attach the cord. I'm currently at the point where when I turn my computer on, the graphics card's fans will spin, and then the fans will stop spinning about 30 seconds in, but the special light on the card still remains on, and my computer, which I have installed the drivers for my card to, will show the card present in device manager. The external screen also does not show a picture, and instead in device manager my graphics card's name has a yellow triangle next to it. The issue is showing a code 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.) I disabled my computer's built in graphics drivers and restarted, but the external card still wont show a picture and still has the fans turn off 30 seconds in. Now I'm looking at my laptop's screen with very basic graphics. Does anyone have an idea on where to go from here?
