For reference I have a beelink ser5 5500U mini pc. The windows operating system it’s running on right now is on an ssd that is on the outside via an external nvme ssd and enclosure.
For the last month or so, I’ve been gaming on an 1660 ti that was made into an eGPU for my mini pc by using the nvme slot and putting an m.2-sff-8612 adapter in it. And then an SFF 8612 connects the eGPU to the dock which has my 1660 ti sitting in it. It’s been working great for the last month until about last week where I wanted to monitor my cpu and see if I could change any settings with the adrenaline app( I had an igpu before from AMD). I installed it and chose not to install drivers. However after I installed it, the gpu didn’t give any display output, at this point the fans were spinning when I powered my mini pc on.
After that I plugged my hdmi into my mini pc and saw the gpu would come up only if I had show hidden devices on in the windows device manager. I uninstalled the drivers for the nvidia gpu thinking that I would be able to reinstall the drivers to the gpu. I went to run the exe file but it didn’t recognize the gpu after I uninstalled them, and the fans stopped spinning too.
I then reinstalled windows but that didn’t get them to output either. I’ve also went out and bought another sff 8612 OCuLink cable, and that hasn’t worked either. I’ve also reseated everything to make sure it works. I know I’ve done maybe a couple of things wrong but is there anything I can do to get it to work again? The dock does have a manual on switch but that doesn’t provide any output right now.

To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
