Nvidia dead/defective/semi-working?

[disendant]

Hello,
I have been gaming with my Nvidia Geforce GT 130M CUDA.
Recently, while I was gaming, my screen went blank and I had tp force shut down as it wasn't responding.
When I have rebooted it, my resolution has changed, I can't find my control panel for Nvidia and I cannot change to "Increased Performance" in the taskbar. Yes the nvidia icon still remains in the taskbar while the control panel for Nvidia is gone.
In BIOS, it did mention something in the "VGA Bios Version" (No clue what it is) which was "nvidia N10P-GE1 VER 2.94.7A.00.10"
Any solutions on how to get back my nVidia back up and running again? :<

Perhaps Windows has rolled back to a previous system restore? Try re-installing your nVidia drivers

I have done numerous system restores but it still hasn't fixed the problem. Also when I try to re-install my drivers, the Nvidia Installer cannot detect my nvidia chip/card.

Could you try the card in another computer?

 

[disendant]

I don't think so as I think the card or chip (not sure which one) is intergrated into the motherboard...

Oops, my mistake.It thought it was an OEM GT 130. It might be a problem of overheating. I would get the laptop checked at the service centre, as you can't really do much when a laptop GPU gives you hiccups.

Thanks for the advice!
I'll try take it to the service center and see if they can repair it...
If not...I'm uncertain what to do.

Oh and too early to choose "Best Answer"?

Your choice......
