Windows 10: Graphics card is not working and unknown device appearing at device manager

Hello, I've noticed that my GPU is not working when I'm playing my games. However, when I read the status of this driver at Device Manager, it says it is working fine, however I doubt that.

So, I went to Control Panel, and then device and printers and I notice that my laptop needs to be troublehsooted, and luckily my error was listed, saying doesn't have a driver and a weird error saying unknwon device, which I've saw at device manager. I tried to restart my laptop after the fix is applied, however nothing changes. Please help!

X800 GTO2 = Unknown Device

I flashed the BIOS on my X800 GTO2 last night and it is listed in the Device Manager as an Unknown Device. Is this normal?

 

Network devices listed under Unknown in Device Manager


I have a Dell Inspiron M731R laptop upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Home 64-Bit that suddenly quit connecting to the home network. Was using wireless, so switched to an Ethernet cable, but still no luck. I just discovered that ALL of the network-related devices are now listed under an "Unknown" tab in the Device Manager. A check of properties of each item in that folder says they are all working properly, but that obviously isn't the case. I tried uninstalling each of the 4 items, but when they are recognized again they still show up under the Unknown tab. Any suggestions would be welcome.
