Question Is my Gpu still alive ?

[Corvo&thepuppa]

It's been a week since my RTX 3060 (laptop) is missing.
Couldn't find anywhere , device manager , nvidia inspector. I've tried every possible thing.
Is this the end of my beloved one ?

Hi ! I've updated the Bios and HP assistant too , nothing changes.
But I'm curious about what you said on IGpu , could my RTX simply being disabled ?
however , there is no option in the bios that could do such a thing , i've almost considered that i could retrograde the bios to the former version ( AMI F.10)
(i've suspected the recent bios update to be the main antagonist)

You should be able to do a bios rollback. Try these out and see if any work : HP Notebook PCs - Recovering the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) | HP® Customer Support

Edit: also at this stage, I'd prob try a Win 10 install than 11.

if the bios was the real problem then the system wouldnt have booted, and many other users may have been effected by it

even if the igpu is disabled, it would still draw power and get heated, if its heated the fans would have been spinning, once try the hp omen software and check if the gpu is being displayed in the hp omen software

It's not displayed unfortunately , one step closer to my greatest fear : The Gpu died

This is not true. However, the bios being updated, can bring all sorts of bug fixes, performance improvements and compatibility.

Having it up to date, simply rules out one more potential cause.

To the OP! You should

Here is some more info : The left cooling fan is working (cpu) but the right isn't (Gpu)
Recently Hp forced the Bios update and now is AMI F.20 (before F.10)
I've heard That windows 11 (2H22) is messy with some of NVIDIA's gpu

Omen Bios don't give that much information : I can't find my GPU there , but i can do Video memory test ( always succesful )
Nvidia latest drivers won't install because it said that there is no hardware to be recognized
device manager : none
dxdiag : none ( only amd )
nvidia inspector : none
system information : none

Usually my Gpu didn't go above 80C°.

(I'm really grateful that you take your time to answer me even if this looks like a dead end)

Regarding the cooling fan. Have you recently opened the case to clean it or the fans. Make sure the small connector is snug in place or the fan simply won't work.

if the fan connecter is not connected properly, the system would have automatically turned off to prevent overheating, but thats not the case here.
