I've had this issue for a few months now without even knowing. I bought a gaming computer, and for over a year now, I've been playing all games on lowest settings all because I thought my video card was getting old. However, something has been wrong with my graphics card for a while it seems.

For graphics, I own a Lenovo IdeaPad y510P, that has both Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600, I'm assuming the onboard graphics, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M.

The GT 750M is almost always disabled, or not working. At the moment I can't get the error messages, because it just so happens to not have the yellow error symbol in the Device Manager, but 95% of the time I start up my computer and check it's off.

I also have no access to the Nvidia Control panel, and get the error message '' You are not currently using a display attached to and NVIDIA GPU ".

I've tried updating my drivers for several different things, but now I'm stuck because nothing I do is working. I've updated my driver for the GT 750M back to a 2013 version atm to play it safe.

I'm not excellent with computers, and would appreciate any help. Thank you.
