Windows 10: Resetting laptop with dead gpu.

I have a double gpu laptop and I recently found out that my nvidia gpu is dying. It first started with apps running on it having visual glitches and a few weeks ago, all apps running the nvidia gpu crash when I start them so I disabled the graphics card in device manager for good. Because of unrelated issues, I'm rn trying to reset my Windows 10 and the whole pc freezes at "Installing Windows 65%" every time. Could this be because of the dead gpu ? If so is there anyway around it ?

Big Update = Disaster ( update, enable and using dead dedicated GPU )

Hi Derek,

There are many possible reasons that might've caused this issue. The most probable cause here is your dead GPU. We'd like to know more about your issue. Kindly answer these following questions:

• What made you think that your GPU is dead?
• Have you considered taking your Laptop to a technician for the removal of it's GPU?

We'll be looking forward for your reply.

Regards.

@Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

@W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.

Thank you for your quick reply



I was playing Game normally before anniversary update. After update, I experienced some lag, pixelated graphic, game freeze, and force close. I even can't playing movie or music video smoothly. Disable Nvidia GPU via Device Manager. Everything back to normal.
Using intel hd4000, I can play movie smoothly and some game with low setting without any problem.

Another big update on May 2017. after waiting for 2 hour. it start with black screen and never ending circle loading. I can move my mouse pointer. but nothing else show up. I'm leaving it alone for another 3 hour. Nothing Change. Then I connected my Laptop
via HDMI to external monitor. The monitor show black screen and mouse pointer, nothing else. My Laptop display show normal working windows and I can go to device manager to disable the Nvidia GPU. It working fine for now.

I'm also try to download and install previous Nvidia driver and the oldest one available. Still same problem. The only way that working is to disable Nvdia GPU via Device Manager. But when another big update come and Windows 10 push to install new driver
on Nvidia GPU, I'm afraid I will experience same problem. It will update, enable and using Nvidia GPU.

The funny thing is I regularly update my GPU driver whenever the latest version available through official Nvidia website. I manually download and install the driver. No problem arise. And when Anniversary update it. It's dead now :{

And Yes I will lookout the best technician out there to remove my Nvidia GPU Chip.
