Model: 2020 Legion 5 1660 ti (updated to Win 11)

Describe the issue: Stuck on intel graphics only, nvidia control panel doesnt open, 1660ti does display in device manager

What have you tried already?: Updating, installing and clean installing nvidia driver. Switching to dedicated gpu result in black screen (require blind bios to fix). Rest nvidia service in task manager, services.

When did it start producing the issue: discovered today

Did you install new drivers or software?: yes, new and old, according to the reconmmendation and talks with other people on this server

do yall want me to do the DDU?

fallow plover
storm edge
#

yep

fallow plover
storm edge

Hybrid mode must be on

#

Get driver 522.25 afterward

storm edge
#

give it a try

pine comet
fallow plover
#

Huh?

pine comet
#

1 sec

#

@fallow plover @storm edge I did the DDU, still not working, when I switch to dedicated only, it returned with black screen, I have to blind bios to get back to hybrid

fallow plover
#

Does it show up in device manager?

pine comet
storm edge
#

wait, you finished the DDU, now install driver

pine comet
#

after DDU

storm edge
#

did you boot to safe mode before launching DDU ?

pine comet
#

also microsoft .net excpet error occur on every start

pine comet
#

safe mode (from option 4)

fallow plover
#

Hmm

#

Ok last ditch effort

pine comet
#

yes?

storm edge
#

time to clean install Binbows

fallow plover
#

Find another legion user that has the same specs as yours and ask them to back up vbios

fallow plover
storm edge
#

must've done something to get such problem

fallow plover
pine comet
#

vbios sounds dangrous from what yall have talked about

fallow plover
pine comet
#

my laptop is already hopping on half a leg

fallow plover
#

Because your GPU is half-alive rn

#

And you're out of warranty

pine comet
#

so whats next

fallow plover
#

Pay attention plz

pine comet
#

ok, will tag them when I find em

storm edge
#

there are two staffs in this server that has the same spec as you iirc

fallow plover
#

Try to find someone with exact CPU, and amd or Intel CPU like yours, no need to match exact CPU but make sure it's the same amd or intel

#

Oh yeah maybe ask SoraTsuki

storm edge
#

Undervolti also

#

i still like the clean install idea

fallow plover
pine comet
#

Appreciate yall spending the time with me here

storm edge
pine comet
#

I have spent alot time trying to fix this

fallow plover
pine comet
#

Im just going to say this is the end of the road for my legion

#

thx

storm edge
#

noo

fallow plover
#

Bios could go haywire without touching sometimes

pine comet
#

ima just going to use the laptop with cpu graphics

#

it will be fine

#

I just wont play any game

fallow plover
storm edge
#

or Undervolti

fallow plover
#

You can grab his vbios and flash

#

Worth a try at this point

#

Because I know the GPU is half working

pine comet
#

maybe, ive accepted this pc's fate

#

thank yall again

pine comet
#

@worn lynx oh great one, lend me your vbios so I might be able to revive my gpu and play genshin once more

worn lynx
pine comet
#

🔥

fallow plover
#

Now follow the vbios flash in #1020285176531669012

pine comet
#

one more piece of information I discovered yesterday:
the HDMI display port no longer works

fallow plover
#

Yes because that port is connected to dgpu

pine comet
#

ima just going to post pics along the way incase those help

image.png
fallow plover
#

pine comet
#

#

fallow plover
#

Did you forced flash it?

pine comet
#

was there supposed to have something that displayed for force flash?

#

I will try again and record

fallow plover
pine comet
#

there is a quick nvidia promp that opended up and displayed exception caught

fallow plover
fallow plover
pine comet
#

thats what I did first time

fallow plover
#

anything warning pop up after putting in the command to flash?

pine comet
#

first time core isolation

#

second time just a general yes or no prompt

#

I disabled core isolation inbetween

fallow plover
#

So did it sucessfully flashed yes?

pine comet
#

fallow plover
#

fallow plover
pine comet
fallow plover

If you still want to try, try to nvflash in safe mode

Closed, GPU is indeed dead.

pine comet
worn lynx
#

you might have hw acceleration off

#

pine comet
#

unable to enable HW acceleration

fallow plover
pine comet

#

do u use any other os

pine comet
#

hypothesis:
new windows update
somehow windows can detect the gpu post update
detect vram
vram not working
[insert miracle here]
revives gpu

pine comet
pine comet
#

hmm

#

blue screen of death

#

2nd time now

#

so with this new change

#

I got back my gpu

#

but now its a unstable system

pine comet
#

so

#

update

#

after new windows update

#

the GPU died again

#

I rolled it back

#

still dead

#

pine comet
#

Im in pain

sinful gale
#

Poor pogg. Being given hope only for it to be taken away immediately after

#

slowly losing his mind

pine comet
#

I have once again reinstalled windows

#

the GPU is alive? again?

#

so it seems reinstalling windows fresh brings it back to life

#

@fallow plover

#

but the gpu seems to dies if anything changes or goes under any kind of prolong load

#

then its dead until the next windows reinstall

fallow plover
#

Maybe it’s vram that died?

#

Maybe just chuck the laptop to a reputable shop

pine comet
#

Nvm

#

seens like vram works fine

pine comet
pine comet
#

another day, once again dead

sinful gale
