Windows 10: Laptop GPU got disconnected.

I unplugged my hdmi cord from my laptop, and the GPU got disconnected. I tried cleaning the fans and put better screws on the base of the laptop. The integrated card still works, but the Nvidia GTX Max Q design; is hidden in devices manager, and it says its not connected.

• If you have an identical laptop try comparing the wifi and security settings of the one that does not disconnect with the one that does. If you find any differences change the settings of the one that does not work to the one that does.

• If you do not have an identical laptop see this post and the three replies for possible solutions: Wifi disconnects every 5 minutes.

@Samuria : If you have any suggestions please reply.

How do I make the primary display adaptor as the dedicated GPU instead of the intel integrated on my laptop?

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

To make the dedicated GPU the primary display adapter on your HP Pavilion 15-e033tx laptop, you can follow these steps. Note that the process involves both software settings within Windows and potentially BIOS settings, though the latter may not always be available on all laptops.

Method 1: Using Device Manager

1. Open Device Manager:
   
   • Press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter.
     
2. Disable Integrated Graphics:
   
   • Expand the Display adapters section.
     
   • Right-click on the Intel integrated graphics and select Disable device.
     
   • Confirm any warnings that appear.
     

Method 2: BIOS Settings

1. Access BIOS:
   
   • Restart your laptop and press the appropriate key (usually F2, F10, Delete, or Esc) to enter the BIOS setup. The exact key may vary, so refer to your laptop's manual if needed.
     
2. Change Primary GPU:
   
   • Navigate to the Advanced or Integrated Peripherals section.
     
   • Look for settings related to Graphics Configuration or Primary Display.
     
   • Set the primary display to PEG/PCI or a similar option that prioritizes the dedicated GPU over the integrated one.
     
   • Save and exit the BIOS.
     

Method 3: Windows Graphics Settings

1. Open Graphics Settings:
   
   • Go to Settings > System > Display.
     
   • Scroll down and click on Graphics settings.
     
2. Set Preferred GPU:
   
   • Under Graphics performance preference, select the application you want to configure.
     
   • Click Options and choose High performance to use the dedicated GPU.
     

Troubleshooting

• Check for Driver Issues:
  
  • Ensure that both Intel and AMD drivers are up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause conflicts.
    
• BIOS Limitations:
  
  • If your BIOS does not provide an option to change the primary GPU, you may be limited to using software settings within Windows.
    
• Windows Basic Display Adapter Issue:
  
  • If disabling the integrated GPU in Device Manager causes Windows to default to the basic display adapter, re-enable the integrated GPU and try setting the preferred GPU for specific applications instead.
    

By following these steps, you should be able to set your AMD GPU as the primary display adapter, improving overall performance and allowing for better resolution settings.

If the above steps aren't working, it's probable that your laptop doesn't have a mux switch.

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.
