Integrated Graphic card(Nvidia 1050Ti) not getting detected on my Predator 300 PH315-51

Asanul

I am not a very graphic intensive worker so i haven't checked that before but i found that my GPU is not working after opening the back pannel of my laptop few days back as this laptop was completely dead for almost 24 hours.

this laptop consist a NVIDIA 1050ti along with the UHD 630. the dedicated 1050ti is not getting detedted. checked all the troubleshoot steps like.

1. Control Pannel > Change what power button do > unchecked fast startup
2. bios updated with the latest version > 1.26
3. VGA driver reinstalled
4. reset the laptop without removing the personal data
5. Predator Sence reinstalled > its still showing 'Discrete GPU is idle'
6. even tried to uninstall all the drivers form laptop using DDU.

but still unsuccessful to detect the. I don't want to visit to Acer service centre as it is out of warranty. please help if any one have any other way of solution.

Have a look at this troubleshooting guide "5 Ways to Fix Nvidia Graphics Card not Detected on Windows 10" if you haven’t already done so? The PH315-51 comes with either the GTX1060 or the GTX1050Ti gpu's and all these gpu's should work 100% as they are very reliable. If all the Device Manager fixes don't work then your integrated NVidia GPU is faulty/burned out due to a mosat short that has allowed the vcore to burn out that has destroyed the gpu (you are very lucky that it didn’t burn the cpu out) as when this happens, its usually the cpu that burns out first, which would have destroyed your laptop and it would not have worked at all.

If the Nvidia dedicated gpu doesn’t bother you, and reading that you are not "a very graphic intensive worker" then only use the Intel UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics, keep this graphics up to date to its last driver, but uninstall all the NVidia drivers and continue using your laptop like you are.

If you want a new motherboard, these are all the mobos used by Acer for the Predator 300 PH315-51 models. these mobos are available and the i7-8750HQ + NVidia GTX 1060 is about US $392.69 this mobo is for sale and available on eBay now, which and if you have the i5=8300HQ cpu would be a great upograde for this laptop and for this laptop to run Win-11 OS also, so consider all that. Good luck, hope you sort out your issues and hope this has been of some help to you.
