Windows 10: Problem with usb c thunderbolt - freezes the laptop

Ruben Folha · Mar 15, 2023

Hello, The Thunderbolt usb c input on my computer ASUS TUF DASH F15 stopped working with a dock station I had been using for almost a year. I tried other multi port usb c I have and the only one that still works by usb cable only, is a usb c to vga adapter from dell. All the others have stopped working. And every time I connect the usb c multi-port to the computer and connect the video cable the computer freezes, locking up and the fans start working in turbo mode. Can someone help me solve this please? Thanks! Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator free version

Is there a real need for USB Type C

Back then it was more expensive and usb c IS NOT THUNDERBOLT. Thunderbolt 3 makes usb c really useful. I personally would not buy a laptop that has usb c without thunderbolt. The other part about your laptop not having thunderbolt would be that a 4xxx series mobile cpu most likely does not have thunderbolt support (limit of pci lanes)
Edit: Displayport comes from thunderbolt 3 not usb c. The reason they didn't use usb c was at that point usb c was almost useless besides some very pricey peripherals.

Usb - c / thunderbolt issue

Hi,

Recently purchased a Razer, currently transferring files over from my ATOM RAID 2 TB EXTERNAL SSD, USB-C / Thunder-Bolt 3 Drive to another External connected via USB 3 via Windows 10.

Any time I attempt to transfer files, the ATOM RAID begins to transfer and then the speed shoots to 0 and the drive is disconnected, then re-connected on its own accord it seems.

When I attempt to run Crystal Mark Test on it, it makes the disconnected Audio as the Test begins, with the test never being able to start.

Through the only process of elimination I have, I disconnected the drive and connected it via USB 3.0, with the cable provided and tests were fine and Crystal Mark was able to begin and finish. Unfortunately I don't have any other USB-C or Thunderbolt External Devices to test the port out.

The SSD worked flawlessly on my iMac 5K Thunderbolt 3 Drive.

I have formatted the Drive to NTFS, several times but that has not changed anything.

I have perused Device Manager, but I cannot find anything in specific detailing Thunderbolt or USB-C, only USB 3.0 and the device hence also appears under a USB 3.0 nomenclature. I haven't used Windows in sometime, so I'm unsure if USB-C is labeled USB 3.0 regardless.

Attached are some screenshots.

The Drive is labeled VIOLENCE, even after failure of copying files, it remains connected it seems, or it disconnected and reconnects instantly. I hear two audibles, so I'm assuming the latter.

Hopefully I can resolve this today and hopefully it is not a Hardware Issue, my Razer Blade has been flawless otherwise

As you can see on the FINAL Image, Windows Devices labels is as USB 3.0, even though it is connected to the USB-C port
