I was playing around and saw that windows was seeing my gpu as a usb device, so i clicked eject and broke my machine
Took me an hour to fix cause the gpu was not recognized anymore

I did that once to the 3.25 floppy drive in my computer (connected via a USB internal header on the motherboard and an adapter) and I had to re-enable it within the Windows Device Manager.

What did you think was going to happen lol
I do it every time I bring my laptop away from my desk without shutting it down first:

A bit more intended as it’s my RX6800 eGPU.
Big red buttons need to get big red smacked, I guess.
On the other hand, it’s a 1050.
Looks like you have PCIe hotplug enabled in bios

If that was an option on my computer, I’d have ejected it just to see what would happen. +1 monkey brain brothers.
Omlette du fromage
That’s one of those moments where I wish I could quick save IRL
I know it’s a mistake to press that button but I’d be so curious to
Just to future proof the thread, how did you fix it OP? There’s nothing that’s more annoying than finding a thread where OP has a computer issue and then just says “nm, I fixed it, it’s all good,” but then they never actually explain how to do it.
This is the most important information that’s needed lol
That said… I’d also be that person that goes “hmm… I shouldn’t click that, right?” And then two sessions later “yep…”
id rather question why he is able to do it in the first place
Whoa! It turned your text to gibberish!
^^^^^jk
Oh non.
Windows : FAFO.
You : Bet!
lol
Sacré bleu
DO NOT EJECT THE GRAPHICS CARD! DO NOT EJECT! WHY THE F ARE YOU EJECTING TH-
Literally me playing nier automata: what’s removing the os chip do?
Thanks, I knew pcie was hot swappable but never tried that, don’t even have the option. Le cool!
“Oh, merde… Oh, merde!”
do CPU next 😂
I dread the day I may accidentally eject the GPU.
What is even the point of this option? So that the programmers could have a laugh at gullible users?
I think everyone has thought of trying this at least once. Glad to see what happens.
