Two Razer laptops identical crashes
I have a mid 2020 Razer Blade 15 Advanced and a late 2020 Razer Blade Stealth. When connected to a Razer Core X Chroma with an RTX 3080 or 3090 outputting to a ROG PG65U 4k HDR monitor, the laptops freeze after a few minutes of use, and ultimately reboot. I have tried replacing the eGPU with a new unit, changing graphics cards, reinstalled Windows, and tried a new Thunderbolt cable with no success. I bought the Stealth thinking I had a defective Blade 15, but the exact same issue happens on both laptops. Please help!

Ampere cards aren’t officially supported, so maybe there’s drivers issues. Outside of that theoretically since they’re only pull out max maybe 400 watt spike on an OC Card chroma X should be able to handle it because it can handle 500 watt tgp GPUs. Try also fitting the power slots, I had weird tick tack sounds on first 3070 installation with corev2, but after tightening PSU 8 pins slot, now it works fine, no crashing nor freezing unless I OC it too far. I just got it today and tried with stealth late 2019, I’ll try later with blade 15, I know already the gaming performance/experience would be better on stealth though due integrated TB3 controller on cpu for less bandwidth penalty.

I'm having a similar issue with the 2020 Razer Blade base, however it only freezes when I'm NOT gaming. Plugging in the Razer Core X Chroma will cause my CPU clock speeds to go thru the roof and then eventually freeze. It also happened a bit on my 2017 Razer Blade Pro with the same Razer Core and my CalDigit T3 Plus dock. so frustrating, still troubleshooting.
Wondering if this could be a power management issue. Have you tried updating the BIOS? Have you done any undervolting or other power tweaks that could be causing the freezing?
*Note that some folks have had issues with the newest BIOS, so this may not be a perfect solution. But as last ditch attempt it could be worth it.
