    Setup:
    x220 with replaced motherboard (after motherboard failure)
    latest bios
    egpu (msi 560ti hawk) connected

    Problem:
    after trying to boot notebook it tries to start - fan starts, hdd starts, keyboard light turns on, but after 2 seconds notebook turns itself off and tries to boot again. This happens for 4-6 times (can't remember exact number) and then boots with no problem.

    Did anyone experience similar problems with egpu?
    Thanks!
