Hardware:
•Dell Alienware m17x r4
•NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M (9.18.13.697)
•Intel HD Graphics 4000 (9.17.10.2817)
•Targus USB 3.0 Dual Video Docking ◦http://tinyurl.com/c97pvqq

BIOS:
•A09

Issue:
•When attaching the Targus dock to any USB3.0 port the main laptop display just start blinking on and off, and will not stop until the device is disconnected. This issue occurred on the upgrade install of Windows 8, and a clean install. This issue does not happen on Windows 7 x64 Ent.

What I have tried:
•I have installed all the latest Video/DisplayLink drivers, which are all Windows 8 drivers.
•I have tried both an upgrade to Windows 8 and a clean install.
•I have rebooted the laptop several times, and have cycled the power on the Targus dock.

I have not found any information on this issue so it may be very new, and help would be greatly appreciated.

I have also tested my Lenovo T530 with Windows 8 and it has the same issue. The T530 is similar to the Alienware since both have Intel and NVIDIA cards.
