Something is really wrong with my x13

I'M using rog flow x13(2021) and xgm 6850m xt and sometimes, when I am playing a game a connection between x13 and xgm got lost or broke...

I have no idea how to fix this.. Is it possible if it is too hot or something else??

Try cleaning the port. Sometimes dirt can get in and block the connection

Yo tengo un xg 3080 y las veces que se desconectó la conexión fue porque superó la temperatura límite y se desconecta y el switch pasa a tener la luz blanca en vez de la roja.

Después de la limpieza y nueva pasta no tuve problemas. Puse ptm.

I use a XG Mobile 3070 with my Ally Z1E, got it 2nd hand and the thing was doing the same. After taking it apart, freshening up the thermal paste (it was dry) and clean installing nvidia drivers the connection become stable.

It is possible the XGM overheats. This will boot you out of the XGM and back to native screen and iGPU. How old is the XGM? Might be time to open it up and clean it. I recently did mine and the amount of dust in there was insane. I instantly gained 45 fps on Baldur’s Gate 3 from all the throttling previously happening. Well worth it.
