I have an Acer Nitro 5 with an RTX 3060 graphics card current version: 31.0.15.2802, latest. When I open the Device Manager, it is detected and says "This device is working properly".

Windows not detecting dedicated gpu at all on laptop

I have an ASUS FX505DT laptop. Just recently after starting up the pc as usual the gpu was not detected at all. The only evidence there is even a gpu there is that the drivers are installed in device manager. The driver is not reporting any problems. There is no setting to enable the gpu in bios, nor does it list the gpu in hardware information on the bios, only the integrated. It isn’t listed on dxdiag either. The pc crashes frequently.

 

Integrate gpu is hidden in device manager and not detected by anything

so i dont know what i did to cause this, but recently i noticed that my nvidia gpu was the only one that showed up in task manager. i didnt think much of it until i was solving a problem with something else when the helper noticed that my primary gpu was my integrated gpu. the thing is, my integrated gpu wasnt being detected by anything. i tried to install graphics drivers for it but it said that i didnt have anything which supports it. however, i turned on show hidden files in device manager and it was there. the problem is that it isnt being detected. i went into uefi to try to fix the primary gpu problem, but it was on my discrete gpu and i could switch to my integrated, but im scared if that will mess something up. i'd like to here your guy's ideas.

my laptop is a lenovo legion 5p.
