Even after getting drivers it's still not recognized via thunderbolt, it just kinda works. I fear it may have something to do with the hectic installation of the eGPU (for some reason none of the thunderbolt recognition that was in the manual happened, and I had to install drivers manually, which took about 2 hours (while on-call with DELL support) because the laptop kept blue-screening with "internal memory management errors". I've plugged the eGPU directly into the wall so it's not a power issue, and at this point, I'm out of ideas.
Most guides I find online recommend turning off power conservation on the PCI-E (Link State Power Management = Off), setting Power management mode to "Prefer maximum performance" in the NVIDIA Control Panel, setting up Tdr & TdrDdiDelay, or disabling Intel Iris Xe, (basically anything in this gudie) but none of these fixes have worked. Within a minute it's back online, but anything that was using the GPU is now obviously crashed and it can make playing video games impossible. I'll be playing a game, or sometimes just watching youtube, and my monitor will randomly disconnect and my egpu's RGB lights will turn off (indicating that it's restarted). This seems to be a relatively common issue - egpus randomly disconnecting/restarting - but I cannot fix it with any of the guides online.
