Windows 10: Problem With Graphics or Something Related

So I have this problem that started out of the blue. Ever since last week maybe, my desktop out of nowhere went black like the background portion, but my cursor and taskbar was functional except that my cursor couldn't bring the right click menu on the desktop portion. Also, periodically now discord will show it's window even though it is in the tray and the window is closed and I have to open it and close it to go away. Tonight I updated my graphics drivers and then the black screen came back. I restart my computer and it is back to normal with the background, on top of that the issue is solved in safe mode. One other interesting note that might help: when I was in the black screen and I had the "performance" section of task manager open, my graphics card was recognized as GPU 2 whereas normally it would be recognized as GPU0.

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.

 

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” ?
