Hey! Engineering Major as well! What a great deal on that XPS. Im still deciding between a Asus Zephyrus G14 or a LG Gram or a Dell XPS. On the eGPU thing.. Im curious too!

GOtcha

Well that solves everything!

Hello everyone! So I'm about to enter college as an Electrical Engineer Major and was wondering if MacOS is alright for it. Not just MacOS but the m1 macbook. Im hoping to get some feedback on whether this is doable or else I will just resolve to a windows laptop. It's just that the integration with my phone and ipad is what really wants me to get a mac. I think for my major its bunch of CAD software along with MATLAB but I also have my desktop as well. If not I will probably resolve to the Asus Zephyrus G14. But then that laptop has no webcam which bugs me especially in this time with the pandemic. Cheers!

Try resetting cmos

And may i know your specs?

Make sure to check to see if your cable is plugged in all the way.

Try using a DVI cable. See if that works

You will be fine. even a 650 watt PSU will be fine.

I would recommend replacing the thermal paste on the GPU. That should help or else you might want to try placing it in a different PCIE slot.

The next step might hit you here. I would reset everything and wipe your whole hard drive. It might have old drivers that are still intact with the new ones and they might be interfering with the new ones. If it doesnt work after that. I would send it in for a RMA if it still has a warranty.

I would recomend the MSI z170 Gaming m5 I have that board its amazing.

i think a 970 is more expensive
