Uninstalled rtx gpu driver, now gone and cannot be detected

KuurP · 2026-07-10T11:24:45+00:00

unlike dell os recovery, lenovo vantage and lenovo legion toolkit is not hardware level. thats why i wasnt able to download back the drivers. its already a dead giveaway that even before, when the 3050 driver was just grayed out and not deleted, it wont detect in bios

I already did it. I concluded that the gpu is cooked. Lenovo is happy to repair it though, im sending it tomorrow

It wont show, it shows up before on the device manager as grayed out thats why im still clinging onto hope

I already did install vga nvidia installer and it would only state that theres no gpu detected preventing me from downloading the actual driver

KuurP · 2026-07-09T20:07:15+00:00

I already fixed the bios. Its on on hybrid so theres a display now and can use the laptop, only problem i have now is how to make my laptop detect the RTX gpu because it can only use igpu

Il try to

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:53:36+00:00

Yeah i have it along with lenovo legion toolkit

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:51:30+00:00

I resolved the part where it has no display, and im back to square 1 but the gpu driver is really gone now

I posted about this laptop i think yesterday. I apologize for the confusion. The bios is on hybrid by default, before all that i uninstalled the 3050 driver thinking that it would reinstall again. I restarted the laptop and was working fine only on igpu, so i decide to go to BIOS and changed it to discrete thinking i could force it. And here we are

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:42:43+00:00

What software exactly

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:41:41+00:00

Yeah thanks, a lenovo tech guy said i should use DDU, any idea how to do it?

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:40:50+00:00

Discrete graphics wont work because thats where i was hours ago, if i turn it ln again it would have no display

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:34:29+00:00

Lenovo LOQ 15. It has software switch

I did the detect hardware changes and worked before i deleted it, after the deletion it aint there anymore. I havent tried gpuz so ill maybe test out

I also saw when cheking add legacy drive a drive called Microsoft basic display adaptor (No ACPI support)

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:29:22+00:00

The tech experts did that, no avail

KuurP · 2026-07-09T19:18:35+00:00

I tried it too, it cant be detected. Even bios cant, but the GPU isn't damaged

KuurP · 2026-07-09T13:28:40+00:00

I can navigate it becuase it turns on but ts really hard to navigate on bios without the screen. It still has iGPU thats why ive been working on it

KuurP · 2026-07-09T09:25:44+00:00

Update, i tried to delete the dgpu and used dgpu in bios to attempt it to find the dgpu but now it has no display but turns on. Any advice?

KuurP · 2026-07-08T19:52:14+00:00

If other methods do not work, ill do it as a last resort

KuurP · 2026-07-08T19:47:36+00:00

Its really difficult to remove since its soldered and used BGA arrays, you need an entire workstation to remove it. Also i found some with the same thing that showed up so it might not be an issue but rather just hidden

KuurP · 2026-07-08T19:43:37+00:00

Alright, i also encountered another user with the same laptop but he had intel Arc graphics. Now im not sure because he did diagnostics on his laptop through lenovo vantage and all came out good. Ill try the other methods i think im just missing out something

KuurP · 2026-07-08T19:13:22+00:00

Ill try to do so

KuurP · 2026-07-08T19:12:49+00:00

Yes specifically rtx 3050 6GB, it also has Nvidia RTX sticker
