So every time I play a game after like half an hour or so, my game crashes (blue screen giving the error VIDEO DXGKRNL FATAL ERROR ), then when I relaunch the laptop my discrete GPU is gone, like missing from task manager and hidden in device manager. To fix it I have to restart my laptop then the Nvidia drivers come back and when I play my games again the same problem happens after a few minutes of playing the game. It's never happened unless I'm playing a game.
I have tried:
I have tried:
- reinstalling the graphics driver from NVIDIA.
- removing the graphics driver using DDU in safe mode and reinstalling the latest one.
- running sfc and dism
None of the above methods helped.
My laptop is out of warranty so don't suggest I take it to the Dell service center as they will just say to replace the motherboard, I know that and that will be like buying a new laptop.
My laptop is a Dell G3 15 3500
