Hoping someone has seen this issue before. I’m trying to use an external gpu setup with my framework 13 laptop. I’m using anADT Link board and a 7700XT powered by an 850w PSU. When I plug in my cable matters USB4 cable my framework will instantly shut down and reboot several times before going into windows recovery. I’ve installed all amd chipset drivers and even reinstalled windows however nothing seems to work. Thanks for the help!

- Windows 64-bit
- Windows 11 Pro 24H2
- AMD 5 7640
