So, I have a laptop with a decent CPU for gaming and I bought a NGFF to PCIE adapter.
Its just re-wireing, no active components.
Tried with my 1050Ti got a black screen and the laptop doesn't seem to boot.
Got my old 8500GT and it worked like a PC, same with my 560Ti and a r7 270.
Bought a 1070 Strix, same black screen so I sold it.
I just bought an RX480 with the idea that Acer (my laptop make) didnt purge the AMD cards, guess what. Black Screen when I turn on the laptop, usb devices dont work its just a really fast fan and nothing else.
Is it a whitelisted ngff slot?
Because Ill set myself on fire and go Doomguy on these corporate monkeys that sell me a product only partially.
EDIT: I dont care if I brick a card, should I just change hardwareID from the rx480's bios or what?
