Hi everyone,

I have 1year old MSI 2qe Apache Pro and was working fine until recently (windows 10). The laptop has 2 graphic cards: Intel HD graphics 4600 and Nvidia GTX960M. 2 days ago while opening a game i noticed a massive fps drop compared to what used to be (from 120 to 20). From there, I realised that the nvidia graphic card didnt work.

I downloaded the nvidia driver but it shows:
"Nvidia Installer cannot continue
This graphic driver could not find compatible graphics hardware"

I tried googling, but none of the solutions seemed to work. Initially, in device manager only under "show hidden devices" nvidia was visible, but I formatted the laptop and it is not there anymore.


I found a possible solution that requires the usage of hardware id, however all of pages and videos I've seen extracted that id from the device manager. Anyone knows what to do know? Any other solutions or the ways to get that hardware id?
f.ex. https://www.igadgetsworld.com/how-t...er-can-not-find-compatible-graphics-hardware/

I tried formatting, updating bios, downloading newest drivers, using DDU and some other minor stuff. Anything related to Nvidia softwares, drivers show me error as above or something similar.


Thanks in advance.
