    Hey guys

    I got a problem with my rig. Whenever I try to use the EGPU my system freezes.
    Everything appears to be OK. The driver for the EGPU is installed correctly and does show any error codes.
    Few times my CPU temperatures went through the roof, which could be the reason, but it is pretty inconsistent.
    Can you help me?

    My rig is:

    Laptop ux32vd
    intel i5 3317u
    10 gb ram
    256 gb ssd with windows 10

    egpu:
    pe4c v3.0
    sapphire r9 290 tri-x oc
    750 watt psu

    Got the system stable by downclocking the gpu.

    But now whenever I turn of the laptop it reboots with a changed driver, from r9 290 driver to radeon pro 8600/8700M.

    Any thoughts on that?
