Windows 10: How to enable a hidden integrated graphics card?

Hi,I kept getting BSoD and one of the many ‘fixes’ I tried involved disabling the Intel graphics. This then led to a whole host of problems, which thankfully I’ve managed to fix for the most part, but now my PC keeps crashing when I try to play games. I’ve gone into Device Manager and my GeForce is the only graphics showing as enabled. If I look at the hidden drivers then the Intel one appears, but there’s no option to enable it. What can I do??

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
