BSOD on GTX 1050Ti inside an Core X Chroma - Lenovo P15s


Hello,

I have a Core X Chroma with a Geforce GTX 1050ti inside. I used to run it on my previous Dell machine and it worked flawlessly. Now I have received a Lenovo P15s that has a dGPU (Nvidia T500) - I'd like to use my eGPU with it. When I plug the Thunderbolt cable on it (Windows 11) it goes into BSOD pointing the nvlddmkm.sys file. Starting the computer with the thunderbolt cable on makes it loop into the boot screen and not start the OS. Seems like a driver issue / conflict between the 2 GPUs. My priority is to use the eGPU on this machine, so the dGPU could be disabled while connected. Do you know if there any way to make this work?

Make sure you have the latest drivers for both of the GPUs and that the BIOS of your laptop is up to date. You can try to follow the steps here for further isolation. Feel free to check our self-help page if you have questions or PM me anytime should you need further assistance.

Thank you! That did it! The drivers for the External GPU were being automatically installed by Windows with an old version. Following your first link made it work.
