Hello good people,

I've experienced this GPU problem for some time with my Dell precision 7720. I downloaded a version from Nvidia website, installed and wrote successfully installed. It appears in the device manager but with a yellow mark.

When I type Nvidia control panel in the search, I can see it but if I click on it, nothing launches. Also when I right click on desktop, I can only see Nvidia rtx desktop manager but Nvidia control panel is not available. In the task manage, I can only see GPU 0 which is the Intel hd 630 but not Nvidia.

I've tried a fresh windows 10 installation and did windows update which installed both Intel and Nvidia but still the graphics card doesn't seem to work. I even tried downloading from Dell website directly, extracted and installed successfully but still not showing up in task manager performance tab.

My bios is set to allow switchable graphics card so my PC seems to be running on the basic Intel hd. Is there any solution I can try to get the GPU to work? Is there a way extract the downloaded Nvidia from Nvidia website so I can get a folder with.inf file and try installing manually form the device manager by searching through harddisk?

any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Which driver version are you working with, from Nvidia?

I've tried a fresh windows 10 installation
Where did you source the installer for the OS? You're advised to install the OS in offline mode, then install all relevant drivers in an elevated command while in offline mode. Install Chipset>MEI>Audio>Nvidia GPU>Intel GPU>LAN>WiFi then connect to the internet, update the OS.

It appears in the device manager but with a yellow mark.
With an error code 43? Use GPU-Z and see if you're seeing zero(0)'s. If it's a yes for both, then your discrete GPU has gone kaput.
