[Alberto_R_Intel]

Raymond_C, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.

In order for us to provide the most accurate assistance on this scenario, we just wanted to confirm a few details about your system:

Are those new computers?

When were they purchased?

Were they working fine before?

When did the issue start?

Did you make any recent hardware/software changes besides updating the graphics driver to 30.0.100.9805?

Is there any particular reason why you needed to update the driver to that version?

Just to confirm, besides the built-in monitor of the laptop, you are connecting only one external monitor to the computer, is that correct?

Which Windows* version are they using?

Please attach the SSU report from at least 5 computers that are showing the issue so we can verify further details about the components in those platforms, check all the options in the report including the one that says "3rd party software logs":

Any questions, please let me know.

Hello, thank you for your quick reply.

All laptops are brand new computers purchased about a few months~a years ago(since we didn't deploy it all at once to our user). We haven't noticed any problem in the first few weeks since users didn't report any issue. but user start report they have a flashing screen error about three months ago, but from what I heard it already happen while but recently getting serious.

We keep updating the bios/Docking FW/ Docking drive /Graphics driver at the latest version every week because the Lenovo support told us to do so, but seems like not working at all. All users connecting only one external monitor to the computer. The user mostly is using version Window 10 20H2 right now but the detailed version is unsure right now.

Unfortunately, For the data safely we are unable to provide the SSU report at the moment. But I will provide it after my supervisor approve. Thank you very much.

Please advise next step. Thank you very much.

Hello Raymond_C, You are very welcome, thank you very much for providing that information and the pictures.

"For the data safely we are unable to provide the SSU report at the moment", no problem at all, we completely understand that situation.

You mentioned "6. Monitor Directly plug into the laptop or monitor plug into docking display port then type-c plug connect to laptop without any problem", based on that statement and due to the number of computers that are showing problems, what we suggest to do next will be to get in contact directly with Lenovo Support so they can debug this issue. It seems the problem is related to compatibility between the docking station and the laptops, so the best thing to do will be to get in contact directly with them to confirm that information, to report this scenario, to verify if they have a fix for this subject, if they can reproduce the problem using the same exact computers that you are using, if a physical inspection of the devices is needed and for further assistance on this matter. If necessary they will get in contact directly with Intel® internally to work on a possible solution for this scenario like for example a new driver release:

Hi Raymond_C, You are very welcome, thank you very much for letting us know those updates.

"But we will keep in touch and exchange the detail we both observed", Yes, that will be the best thing to do in this case, hopefully, they will be able to identify the issue and provide a possible solution for it.

Any other inquiries, do not hesitate to contact us again.

For this case follow up, we confirm that the docking HDMI out port is not compatible with type-c input. so all our users switch to use DP port until today all users don't have any errors occur anymore.
