System: HP ProBook 450 G4 (2016 model 6/7th Gen)
Proc: 7200U 2.5Ghz (brand: Core i5 - 2 cores 4 threads - 3 MB L3 Cache - TDP 15w )
Chipset: i5
iGPU: Intel HD620
RAM: 16GB 2x8GB SoDIMM 2133Mhz (note: I had to physically remove the pre-installed factory module and reinstall it in simm slot B and place the new module in simm slot A to get the laptop to boot with the new module.)
OS: Windows 10 Pro 6.3 14393 (64-bit)
External Keyboard: Logitech G810
BIOS: Family P85 version 1.23 - Manufacture HP

 

eGPU Gear

Dock: EXP EGD (External Graphics Card Dock) BEAST version 8.5c using ATX (PC PSU) - green light is on - fans turn only when connected to laptop via PCIe m.2 to HDMI data cable.

PSU: Corsiar HX 750w
eGPU: Radeon RX 580

 

 

Is there a way that I can get a BIOS update so I can install an External Graphics Card with a PCIE Dock (this one 'EXP GDC Beast') through the PCIe m.2 slot that the factory WiFi adapter was installed? I've tried to do this; but I keep getting a ACPI_BIOS_ERROR (Windows BSOD with the frown 😞 emoticon) from windows when it starts. Windows will not allow itself to load when something else is connnected to this port with power at the same time other then the factory card. There are work-arounds like DSDT Overrides with PCI Compaction BIOS (from 32bit(4GB) to 36bit (56GB limit). Can I get an update pack for the BIOS and maybe some Graphic card detection utility for windows 10? This would make a lot of people very happy.
