Ok so the crash happened again. @nrp
All I had open at the time (and I had just hooked everything up) was task manager and another cpu temp monitoring software. Nothing heavy. I had plugged into the topmost left port with the thunderbolt cable at the time. I also had my headphones plugged into the laptop.
I then switched the side of the laptop that I plugged the egpu into and it’s working smoothly on the other side (so far). Scratch that, it just crashed again ( Literally as I was writing this 
) All screens frozen (I had two displays hooked up to the graphics card) still displaying everything but audio just cut off and I can’t move anything or type anything. The fans in the laptop have gone on full (or at least it sounds like it.)
I’d also like to add that when I have the egpu plugged In, and I’m listening to audio through the built in port, there’s a strange crackling. I tried different aux cords, then tried the same cords in a different computer and the issue only happened when I was plugged into the audio jack with the egpu.
If you need more info let me know!
Edit: I’ll also add that I had an Ethernet cord hooked up to the egpu box but I’m not sure if that’s relevant or not
