i did have a read through the link you posted but annoyingly the link in it about error 12s is dead so i had a good look around at your situation and most things seem to lead to setup 1.x which is payed for software ?????
Sounds like a bootable eGPU config software that accesses your device before OS load and preps it for boot, seems to fix most error 12 situations but who knows

Regards the bsod check your C:\windows\minidump folder, zip up the contents (or the most recent few) and upload or run the tool in the link i gave you and upload the output file, that will grab your dumps and lots of other useful info, msinfo32, updates log, system info etc etc

yes you are correct, but im not getting error 12 anymore. :/ ill upload them

I know you can plug it in without reboot but the machine does need to be in some state of sleep not sure which though

Had a scan of your dumps and cant draw any definate conclusions from them theres a bunch of random dumps that i think are just side effects and a bunch that are the same blaming ati drivers but im pretty sure they are from hot plugging/unplugging but this is virgin territory for me so afraid i cant offer you to much more

i know, but i cant sleep my computer when i have my internal graphics disabled. when i do plug it in when in sleep and internal enabled, it just BSOD when it gets to the logon screen

but thank you so much for your help! much appreciated!

ive found some similar problems while searching the forum..... i searched "windows not detecting gpu"

heres the hardware lds when its plugged in and "working" no errors

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6758&SUBSYS_E198174B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6758&SUBSYS_E198174B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6758&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6758&CC_0300

i uninstalled everything and shut down. plugged it in, booted up and let windows install it and it installed it as standard VGA adapter but came up with error code 10 this time. any ideas? i dont want to install drivers before this code 10 gets situated.

windows comes up with the drivers update for the card however i end up in the same situation as before.
