Hi, I'm back again with the same issues, with a Lenovo n580 laptop with un-whitelisted bios, using a exp gdc beast v8.0 mpcie edition. Im tryihng to use this external dock with my XFX R7770 Ultra Overclocked Edition to make games more playable. However Windows 10 is not detecting the card. I know my computer is because most times when I start the computer with the dock, the screen turns on, but no Lenovo splash screen, and windows doesn't load. The graphics and the psu's fans are turning and there is obviously interaction with the system, it just isn't working and I do not have the expertise to solve this. Please help!

Try hooking up an external monitor to see if you are getting output. Many times with the external gpu adapters the computer disables the laptop display. If you find that this is the case, check for a BIOS setting to enable the internal display while using the external GPU.

It is not a RAM issue...
