#

have you installed the GPU driver from the ACER website itself?

#

these are more stable as the Nvidia drivers and might be the one you could use to revive this GPU

#

well if it does not get recognized, drivers talk from hardware to Software ๐Ÿค”

#

so its normal you would not get any information .

#

Aha,.,

#

Latest aka not the ACER driver.

#

There is a reason Laptop manufacturers make own drivers, since they have dual GPU's and are sometimes tied to that particular driver.

#

acer support page

#

yeah , but if it works ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

old doesn't mean bad

#

If after this, it doesn't work its time for support , and call the person/company who sold you the laptop.

#

So call support, and bring back this laptop to your store.

#

Well ROM chip probably died, where the GPU bios is on.

#

"I bought an Acer aspire 5750g last week" ๐Ÿค”

#

second handed I guess? then

#

yeah so no GPU ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ 520G

#

seems like you need a tutorial ๐Ÿค” for NVFlash

#

if this doessnt work , you are out of options

#

Or use this one , since it has a easy step to step to follow allong

#
nvflash64 --protectoff (if you hear a beep all is well)
before you try it?
nvflash -4 -5 -6 vbios.rom```
#

https://youtu.be/OvpZqas0H0c?t=376 this one seems to be better documented ๐Ÿ™‚

Heres how to flash your NVIDIA or ATI GPU BIOS properly, for improvement or compatibility tweaks, or to fix inexplicable GPU crash problems, by updating the GPU firmware to a newer version. Proceed with care and at your own risk.

Remember after you flash to re enable display driver in Computer Management - Device Manager - Display adapters.

nflash64 /help or nvflash64 --help

#

and see if protectoff maybe has been renamed ?

#

could be you need nvflash instead of nvflash64*

#

nvflash --list (should show you your GPU )

#

first lets see what we got ๐Ÿ˜„

#

could be you got multiple GPU

#

nvflash --list

#

I love Laptops ๐Ÿฅฒ

#

If thats the case its already working on your laptop ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ since you only have one GPU.

#

might not be optimal.

#

and a dead gpu ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

after reboot does it give you any bios information on the GPU? or does it remain dead?

#

if thats the case , no amount of flashing can help you

#

well other thing is, you could try updating the normal bios

#

using the support page

#

Other as that, something went wrong hardware wise, why the GPU is not working GPU wise.

#

Might not work on that GPU I have no idea but it's worth a try

pallid valve
#

You got another system to try flashing it in?

#

Other than that the cards vbios might be irreversibly corrupted

#

Impossible

#

Unless you have 20 grand in soldering equipment
