screen goes black after plugging radeon

Question

So I have a latitude E6530 with intel graphics 4000 and no dedicated gpu. That's why I decided to buy and external GPU adapter which I can plug to my laptop by expresscard. I tried a few different gpus from nvidia, radeon and even dell. All of the nvidia and Dell gpus weren't working at all (my laptop didn't decect them, everything was like normal etc) but when I tried radeon gpus there was nothing on screen. I tried radeon HD 2400 and there was nothing on screen (but other than that the system was booting up normally) and today I tried radeon R7 360 2GB and got the same result. Nothing was on the screen but windows 10 was booting up like normal. I changed the volume, tried logging in and turned it back off. Then I unplugged the radeon GPU and everything was like normal EXCEPT volume was increased which means I definelty was in the system at some point. I just couldn't see anything.

So, all the radeon GPUs not only they don't work, they also for some reason turn off my integrated intel graphics 4000. Can someone help me?

When you write 'the screen' -- which one?  Bear in mind that any of these external GPU adapters will work only with an external monitor -- they cannot feed a video signal to the internal display panel.

The monitor needs to be plugged directly to the GPU;  that said, these devices are not universal --  you may have to try more than one before you find one that actually works.

I tried plugging in an external monitor to a GPU and to my laptop. Nothing worked

That's what I did and it didn't work Also I tried 2 radeon gpus not just one. The issue is with only radeon gpus, all the other ones are not even visible to the system
