I have a MSI GE620DX Laptop, and I have had it almost a year. For the last few months, occasionally when i restart my machine my GeForce 555m GT does not show up in the Device Driver.
Sometimes when this happens i am able to just restart my computer again and it reappears, other times i have to do a driver sweep with driver sweeper/driver fusion, once i did a system restore to a day before, and it didn't work, but after a while i restarted my computer again it was there. The most extreme i've had to go is to completely reformat my computer. This is the point im currently about to go to, but i would LOVE to avoid it. I was hoping that some superman of hardware could save me of this.
Things i have also tried:
-i have tries to check safe mode to see if it was in the device manager, it was not
-i have done a driver sweep
- i have restarted my computer somewhere near 20 times
-i wanted to open up my comp, but really don't want to void my warranty if this cannot be fixed before i graduate (i will be sending it back to MSI as soon as my laptop is not key to my education
-i have attempted to install drivers from Nvidia (they don't work because no hardware is detected)
-i have tried a system restore (which i will be trying again tonight)
-i have tried moving/removing all .inf/.pnf and any file with nv that i had permissions to (i read a post somewhere that it might work
I am at the point that i will try damn near ANYTHING to get this thing to show up again (even if it's just back to the iffy position it was before) and i would almost give my life to get this permanently fixed. Many people have told me it is probably something revolving around the actual card, or some soldering issue etc inside the computer, which will have to be fixed by MSI (due to warranty w/e). but if you have any ideas on anything to try, please let me know.
If there is any information you need that i have no provided here, just ask and i will provide asap.
