Can I use my laptop even if my secondary video card (NVIDIA) is craked (broken) ?
A few mouths back my father used some "super military grade" thermal paste that would become rubbery after 2 hours after being placed on the GPU .. it became solid as a rock and the k factor was lower than an average chinese paste BUT today when we wanted to replace it , when we tried to take the radiator of the cpu and gpu's the nividia gpu got busted 😀 the laptop is a Dell latitude E6420 the i7 version with a NVS-something nvidia gpu it does not matter what i want to ask is if he can use his laptop without the nvidia graphic card (the laptop also has a intel HD graphics card) , the thing is that the ssd can be used only tn that laptop (and i think motherboard ) and it has a lot of important data on it . we tried to boot it and it worked , he made some hardware test and everything was alright BUT after the test ended the laptop turned off and after we press the power button the hdd power ..etc leds are blinking once then it shots himself down again .. sometimes we get a white-ish screen but it does not do anything else . i believe that the laptop can be used without his secondary GPU but i need your help i dont know how to disable it permanently . please help 😀 sorry for my english i am still learning 😀 <<offensive language removed by moderator>>
Edit: I managed to access the bios but i cant find any method of suspending the video card ..
