Hi. I'm running an Acer aspire 5755g with NVIDIA Geforce GT 540m, and lately, all my games have been running really slowly. After a bit of googling I find out that all of my games are running on the Intel HD 3000 graphics card, which isn't nearly as good as my Geforce.
This started happening a while ago, just after I tried installing a new driver through Geforce Experience. After googling a bit I try to rollback the previous driver, where my games ran smoothly.(driver 314.24 or something) Then I get the recommended drivers from the Acer website, but I get the same error.
After that I get told to use driver sweeper on all my Nvidia files, and after that it just gets worse. Now I get this error when I try to install any drivers.

Apparantly this is a common thing people get, and there's a fix where you need to go through device manager, but my graphics card doesn't even appear in there. The only one I can see is the Intel one.

Now I am completely out of ideas, I feel like I've tried everything that comes to mind.
I'll be on for as long as I can bare, I'll try to answer any questions.

I'm looking forward to any help.

PS: Excuse me for my mediocre grammar

Installing the Intel drivers worked fine, and I got the same errors for my Geforce. And sadly rollbacking isn't an option for me..

Maybe try poking through the bios and see if there is an option to enable/disable the secondary GPU?

I only found an option to set to switchable and integrated graphics card, I tried both options with none working.

I hate to say this but a reload might be in order or at least maybe try a restore point where it worked if you have one.

Seems to be the only option! Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.

I'll be formatting my laptop tomorrow, going to transfer my files now.

Alright! Took a while but happened. I formatted earlier today, all was fine, I could install my Nvidia driver, but it still wasn't running. I check device manager and got this error..: ''Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)''. What do I do now?
