Graphics Card not working properly. Can it be a Windows 10 issue?

[Prem Patel]

Hi,
I have an nvidia 860m graphics card (Lenovo Y50 Laptop with an i5 processor) and I cannot launch any games with it. I've uninstalled and re downloaded everything from the drivers to the games. My final conclusion is that something is wrong when my computer tries to use my graphics card, but I don't know how to fix it.

For when I launch Witcher 2, it says "Direct3D 9 device initialization error"
For when I launch The Legend of Korra (game) it says "Error : Graphic::Startup() FAILED. No Graphic Memory"

I looked at other threads, but I don't know how to reset a graphic card's BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

You cannot reset a graphics card bios. You can flash it but it but you aren't experiencing an issue that can be fixed by a bios flash.

Make sure you have the windows 10 driver installed from here for your graphics card

Bear in mind that windows 10 is a new operating system and isn't likely to support all windows 7 games in addition to Microsoft still working out issues.

Yes that fixed it!!! Thank you soo much!! I installed most of those drivers but the one that did the trick was obviously the nvidia vga driver
