eGPU Frustration beyond my mental capacity.

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?

Are you powering these cards with external power too? What from? Could be a power delivery issue

What model? What rail is it connected to (if it has different ones)? Do you have a computer to test this PSU in?

 

Edit after your next comment: please press the reply button so we're notified, and it seems definitely like a power problem.

I have tried it with my 600W V3 CM PSU and its the same but I just remembered that I can hotplug the Video Card and when I do that in Device Manager it says that "The device doesnt have enough recourses"

well that makes sense. typically a slot like that won't have enough resources for a newer pci-e gpu which is probably why older lower end ones work fine

I actually just read about it and the problem is that the PC boots with the 8500gt and then when I swap it the rx480 gets code 12, and no I have tried it on another ngff slot on a pc and it works, 4 PCIE lanes are enough for a 1050ti or a rx480. Even the flipping 1050ti doesnt have ALL of the pcie pins on the bottom.

does the PSU have a jumper on it since it doesn't have a mobo to tell it to be on?

Oh my god its obvious that if I dont turn the PSU the laptop will just work without the Video Card because it doesnt work without electricity does it?
