Windows 10: Graphics Drivers Chronically not working.

A few weeks ago, everything worked great. Then one day my computer started crashing when playing games that require heavy power and gpu usage. I did not update anything. I did not change any settings. But on CS2, a game where I used to average 40-50 fps, now I can manage 10-15 at best, and that is with the lowest possible graphics settings.I checked my device manager, and it says that there is a problem with my Nvidia QuadroT10000, and has stopped the device. Code 43. I have tried restarting and reinstalling the driver multiple times, but it always stops the device and delivers code 43 within

Custom Driver : Intel HD Graphics & ATI Combo (Alpha) - by nIGHTmAYOR

according to laptop support page they do list an old downloadable driver for intel for windows 7 , weather this is related to there being several variants of that laptop or this laptop has switchable graphics i may just suggest you reset the bios and see if things change , if yes you may be able to apply step 2 , if not then apply step 4 and call it today , you are still better off being on the high performance gpu .

Out of curiosity can you take a snap shot from Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click the “Graphics Settings” ?
