Specs: HP DV7-1020us with Intel core 2 duo T9600 2.8ghz CPU, 4gb ram. PE4C version 3.0, PCIe x16 interface for mPICe eGPU adapter EVGA GTX 1080 windows 10 Modded F.2d bios the system has 3 mPCIE slots. 1 for wifi, 1 for an avermedia media card, and spare mPCIe slot. I figured with the spare mpcie a lot I'd have a perfect setup for an eGPU system. But. I matter what I do I can only get the eGPU eGPU to be recognized after I reboot the system from a sleep state. the laptop won't boot with the eGPU in either a delay or always on state. I have to turn off the PSU, start laptop, turn in eGPU @ hp bios logo. 1.30 doesn't recognize the eGPU at all. No matter what I try. I've booted the eGPU with 1.30 loaded, hot swapped, and removed all mpcie cards before loading 1.30. I've pulled and reinstalled the eGPU will 1.30 was loaded and still it never recognized the eGPU. while in Windows I can go into a sleep state, restart and the eGPU is recognized as a Microsoft display adapter, and at this time I can install drivers. Downside is the drivers force me to restart. This requires me to shut down, unplug eGPU, restart laptop, and plug eGPU back in. But upon Windows loading there is a driver conflict between the GTX NVIDIA 1070 drivers and the legacy drivers that drive the eGPU. Because of this conflict I can't go into a sleep state. I have to reload eGPU drivers, which forces a fricken reboots and I'm back to square 1. ive tried all this with all cards removed, with just the wifi card in and got swapping, and with the eGPU the only mpcie card in the system. anyone have any suggestions? Is there a bios function I should be editing? Or a different sequ nice in setup 1.30 to get the eGPU to load at startup?
