Newbie Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi, I'm new here and really need help/advice. I have an m17x r4. I switched it on today and the gpu started acting up, I have 2 graphics card. an intel one and an nvidia 660m. The nvidia one is not showing up in devices. and when it does (after clicking, show hidden devices) it says in the device status box "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."I don't understand what this could mean or how to fix it. I have tried updating the drivers from the device manager screen but it doesn't help. Any help would be much appreciated. thankyou so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoldago Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 hmm 5 days old, but maybe you still need help. it's possible that your graphics card died or perhaps it only has connection problems. you can try to plug it out of its slot and plug in again. you can check in bios if it works or not, on the main page you see "Discrete Graphics 1" that can be "Nvidia GFX" or "Not present". if you dont know how to do, there is a very good teardown video on YouTube.
