My Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-55-50BS) is not detecting the GPU. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Whenever I restart my laptop, the gpu stops working and won't work until i type the command "bcdedit /set pciexpress forcedisable" and restart, but that also isnt guaranteed to work. Does anybody know how to fix it? or should i get it repaired (if it is broken)

    If the "bcdedit /set pciexpress forcedisable" command doesn't work to make your dedicated gpu to be detected, then your dedicated gpu's vram or the gpu chip is about to give up its functionality or its solder needs refloating.

    if you are computer savvy, get a heat gun and refloat the gpu and its vram chips with the heat gun and see if that revives the gpu functionality, if it does, don't expect that to be a permanent fix, as it could be that your gpu and its vram are fried. Good luck and hope this is a solution for your problem, otherwise use the cpu graphics or change the Nitro laptops mainboard, if you need a reference for your Nitro laptops board, then tell us your Nitro exact model like AN515-xx.
