Hello, 
I managed to link GTX1060 via GDC adapter (into original wi-fi slot, it should be mPCIe 1.1). The latop is Clevo W150.
 
It is working on the 372.70 driver, but the driver crashes and recovers like once per hour under load. That is extra annoying since most of games and even some other programs then run in background and can't be reached again, or crash as well into some unexpected error. Now I have a clean install of win10 and win7, both have this same problem.
 
So I now have just two ideas what can be causing it: either some of the VRAM chips are unstable, but detection programs I tried were clean. Or maybe the card pushes data faster than mPCIe 1.1 can handle. Unfortunately, the laptop BIOS has pretty much no other settings than selecting a primary boot device, so that's not the way to find out. 
 
Or maybe it's something else and I hope you guys can help me. Best regards, Def.

I have no experience with that kind of setup, but I would start by installing the latest nvidia drivers (right now it is 382.05).

That's the joke, 372.70 is the last driver eGPU setting works on. Everything newer causes graphic card to show error 43 in device manager. New drivers are not a way to go.

Disable CSM in your Bios

There is no such option. It's 5 years old laptop and the BIOS is... thin on options. There is just a settings of local time, harddrive settings and primary boot device settings.

Bummer doing this cleared all my error 43 on my computers running under Windows 10.

Might be power delivery problem, are you using a quality PSU with the eGPU? Do you have the 6 pin and 8 pin power plugged into the GDC plus the 6 pin for the card?
 
You might also have a bad mPCIe cable.

PSU is brand new Corsair. Plugging is right, otherwise I think it would not work. If the cable was faulty, the drop should happen only if I bump into it. Besides, when I disconnect the 1060 and use it as a laptop, I get a different notice than driver error (Precision software saying there is no supported hardware vs driver and sometimes Precision pro gram crash). 
 
I really think it's a mismatch in eGPU and mPCIe slot speed. But I don't know how to fix it.
