So I bought an Aorus Gaming Box off ebay since people bought them all up as they were the cheapest way to buy a GPU and then sold the docks themselves for fairly cheap. I put my 970 in it, and connected it to my Razer Blade 14. At first it didn't do much and I had forgotten that I needed the Razer Graphics Switcher app since I have a dGPU already. So I brought up the Thunderbolt Config app and saw that I needed to allow the box to connect, and once I did the fans quited down and I saw the 970 show up in device manager but it had a yellow triangle. I thought that I probably needed to restart so it would boot with just the 970, but after doing that I could get into Windows for a few seconds and then it would bluescreen. I remembered I needed the graphics switcher app at this point so I went and installed that, however I still get a bluescreen a few seconds of having the dock connected now. Do I need to try uninstalling my GPU drivers all together now I reinstall my thunderbolt drivers?  I can't even get my computer to forget the thunderbolt settings because it bluescreens too quickly once I plug it in, and I don't have the option to forget the device if it's not plugged in.

 

Just for reference the specific bluescreeen is an IRQ_NOT_EQUAL error or something to that effect, I'm pretty sure that's a driver issue, correct? I haven't tried disabling the dGPU yet though.

The yellow box usually means that you have no driver, you have a bad driver, or that the device is nonfunctional, first just right click it and update the driver.
