[gleaming solar]

help

[finite ridge]

its using your integrated graphics instead of your gpu

[gleaming solar]

yes

how do i change it

mann

[ocean glade]

Hold on

[gleaming solar]

ok

[ocean glade]

What's your driver version

[gleaming solar]

425.31

[ocean glade]

Right click what error you getting

[gleaming solar]

it used to show nvidia card in high performance

[ocean glade]

Show me the error cuz I don't wanna uninstall official latest driver xd

[finite ridge]

425 is a weird version

[gleaming solar]

which error ?

[finite ridge]

thats like 100 down

[gleaming solar]

thats device manager

you mean right click ?

[ocean glade]

Click properties

[gleaming solar]

then

[ocean glade]

Show me device status

[gleaming solar]

@ocean glade there you go

[ocean glade]

Yeah

Have you updated your bios?

[gleaming solar]

idk

how to do that

💀

[finite ridge]

u download bios version

put it on a usb

boot into bios

flash utility

select driver

[gleaming solar]

man man

[finite ridge]

do you know what motherboard you have

[gleaming solar]

lemme check

[finite ridge]

and do you have a usb

[ocean glade]

Your problem could be solved using updating motherboard and gpu bios

[gleaming solar]

oh

[ocean glade]

Given that you have installed the correct driver for your system

Or you can just roll back to old windows driver just by uninstalling it completely lol

[ocean glade]

But this option I'd prefer for both performance and stability

[gleaming solar]

ok

[gleaming solar]

how to do it

[ocean glade]

You gotta tick that option to remove manually made driver updates

[ocean glade]

Hm that well

First you gotta update your motherboard bios

What's your motherboard model

[gleaming solar]

how to check

[ocean glade]

In windows search type msinfo

[gleaming solar]

system information

[ocean glade]

Check everything until you find your system details

[ocean glade]

To check your gpu version

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

[gleaming solar]

ok

[ocean glade]

U got acer?

[gleaming solar]

no

[ocean glade]

Can you show me the whole motherboard related page

[gleaming solar]

in msinfo ?

[ocean glade]

Yes

[ocean glade]

Okay

[gleaming solar]

its a peice of crap

ik

[ocean glade]

Did you download gpu tool

[gleaming solar]

installing

[ocean glade]

Idk I'm a programmer I can still make it work xd

[gleaming solar]

lol

[gleaming solar]

hmm

man my nvidia driver has most of things at 0

bruh

[ocean glade]

Seems like your system has no bios update lucky

[gleaming solar]

so

what do i do now

[ocean glade]

I think

You could try turning on iGPU mult-monitor in bios

Try finding it

[gleaming solar]

so it used to show me "nvidia gt 740M " on high performance in graphic settings

but now it dont

what do i do for it

[ocean glade]

Like I said if your motherboard bios support igpu multi monitor feature (enables both Intel and discreet gpu simultaneously)

If not then uninstall the gpu driver completely

And let windows install it for you

[gleaming solar]

i did that before

[gleaming solar]

and downloaded clean installation

still not showin up

[ocean glade]

Did you enable "delete the driver software.."?

[gleaming solar]

no, whats that

[ocean glade]

It'll delete changes you made

[gleaming solar]

[gleaming solar]

i dont care, i just want better performance

[ocean glade]

Man just do that

Once you finish click on "scan for system changes" windows will use its default driver for you

[gleaming solar]

@ocean glade delete the software for this device

select it ? or not

man i might be too annoying for you

[ocean glade]

Nah I'm just talking to bunch of ppl

[ocean glade]

Ofc yes

[gleaming solar]

done

[ocean glade]

Let windows install default driver for it

[gleaming solar]

how

should i restart my pc

or something

[gleaming solar]

will it do automatic?

[ocean glade]

Fastest way is in device manager check for "scan new changes" 🤌🏻

Or similar

[gleaming solar]

ok

nothin happened

[ocean glade]

Hmm wait 2 more mins

[gleaming solar]

ok

[ocean glade]

If that doesn't work then reboot

[gleaming solar]

alright

[marsh aspen]

Might be a dead gpu

[marsh aspen]

Have you seated it correctly

It should at least show up if it is

[gleaming solar]

i am rebooting

nothing happened

[ocean glade]

Open event viewer

Windows Logs > system

Show me the errors you received

[gleaming solar]

Rebooting, rn on mobile

[marsh aspen]

Mb try the easy things first before doing the more finicky things

[gleaming solar]

What?

[marsh aspen]

Like reseating your GPU and other shit

[gleaming solar]

Wth is seating?

[marsh aspen]

Putting it in the mobo

[gleaming solar]

Mobo?

[ocean glade]

Laptop..

[marsh aspen]

Oof

[gleaming solar]

Alright

[ocean glade]

Expand the red color errors

Eventid 7009

[gleaming solar]

uhhhh

[ocean glade]

Click any one and show me the details

[ocean glade]

Use general view

[ocean glade]

Hm

Those are old not relevant

Show me the latest one, check ss

[gleaming solar]

that is gone

[ocean glade]

Do you even know what salad bowl crap service is? I never heard of it lol

You gotta do two things

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/

https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner

First link is for your gpu issue

2nd is for your salad dish

[gleaming solar]

ok

[ocean glade]

Once done, run adwcleaner and scan

[gleaming solar]

ok

[ocean glade]

Salad.bowl.service is for crypto currency mining.

[gleaming solar]

i install this ?

[ocean glade]

Yeah

[ocean glade]

Possibly abused your gpu to the point gpu died 💀

[gleaming solar]

i used to crypto mine

but i was doing cpu mining

not gpu mining

[ocean glade]

If you wanna do crypto mining you gotta have adequate cooling system. On laptop.. Mhm no advantage sorry

[gleaming solar]

64 ?

[ocean glade]

64 for 64-bit system

[gleaming solar]

ya still made 32$ something

in 20 days

then i stopped

[ocean glade]

Man there are different options like digital gold investment etc you can earn more

[finite ridge]

this guy

[ocean glade]

Even I need to research more

[finite ridge]

used his pc

to mine

crypto

??

[ocean glade]

Laptop*

[finite ridge]

BRUH

[gleaming solar]

you mine with ps5 ?

[finite ridge]

lmfaoo

nah xbox

[ocean glade]

YouTuber named NetworkChuck can teach you help with mining

[gleaming solar]

i dont mine now

[ocean glade]

Good good

[gleaming solar]

now?

[ocean glade]

Those are PUP. Potentially unwanted. You can remove em of you want

[ocean glade]

You'll have to search for your gpu and then install it's bios

[gleaming solar]

how to do

[ocean glade]

I never tried that way but it should work in your case

[gleaming solar]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1112384971022282782.png?size=160&name=ohmygod .gg%2Fglop

[ocean glade]

First take a backup of bios

NvFlash64 usually creates an auto backup, but it's good practice to create a manual backup using tools like GPU-Z that you downloaded

Extract the downloaded BIOS file: Make sure it's in a .rom format.

Make sure you're running nvflash64 as admin

[gleaming solar]

Ok

[gleaming solar]

I spammed enter button

And it closed

[ocean glade]

Check those commands, it's cli

[gleaming solar]

mann

isnt there any easy way

[ocean glade]

nvflash64 [bios_filename].rom

[gleaming solar]

what if i download nvidia driver for my graphic card

will it work

[ocean glade]

I mean sure give it a try

[gleaming solar]

which version should i download

for my graphic card

[ocean glade]

I never faced these problems just helping you with my experience

[gleaming solar]

damn

you professional

[gleaming solar]

should i download the latest ?

[ocean glade]

Your laptop came with 8.1 windows

So try that old driver first

[gleaming solar]

can you give me link

so i dont download any stupid versions

@ocean glade

[ocean glade]

https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/134856/en-us/

[gleaming solar]

thanks

[ocean glade]

It could not find the gpu

Yeah you gotta flash gpu first

[gleaming solar]

how

[ocean glade]

Just for your sake try the latest driver you downloaded

If that doesn't work then we'll do flash stuff later

[gleaming solar]

ok

[gleaming solar]

same error

now tell me whats flash gpu

[ocean glade]

I gotta do some stuff

Just research online in mean time

[gleaming solar]

@ocean glade ..

[ocean glade]
