GPU bricked?

[skjelfjord84]

Hi everyone.

Most people do stupid decitions from time to time. And I've just made one.
I bought a laptop coming back from repair by the store it was purchased in.
The previous owner claims that he never got the charger back and for that reason this laptop as been laying around ever since.
Well hey! I'll take it of your hands. So! just bought a new Charger. Got it up and running. But to my surprice to find out that the Graphic card don't work.

So! trust me I've spend the last 48hrs on getting the Nvidia graphic card back up and running. But without success.
Been trying most stuff. I've even tried to flash it with Nvflash with a BIOS that seems very close to what I have. But Im unable to flash the BIOS as well. since it gives me an Error Message that says that no graphic card where detected and something about EEPROM not found/missing.

I'll attach files so that people are able to see. and come with Ideas. Is this GPU fried?

Please come back to me with ideas and possible solutions

Images added are
* GPU-Z
* Device Manager
* DxDiag txt
* DOS Flash Picture

As that guy. I've also done the HP diagnosis on the entire PC. The weird thing about all of this, is that programs notice that there is a GTX 1050 Ti 4096MB in the system. Whats bothering me is that the system refuses to use it. And I also get this EEPROM error when I try to flash the GPU BIOS. (also have a battery issue as this guy in the thread are experiencing)
But non the less. This PC also has no Warranty. Time has expired. so! I have a feeling that this is gonna be expensive either if I repair this PC or if I buy a new one.

But thanks for the thread.
Had a chat with Nvidia for 2 hours earlier today. And they where not able to come with a conclution or solution

Laptops are different animals when it comes to have discrete GPUs. Very often the BIOS is “custom” for said manufacturer and no BIOS but the one it left the factory with will work.

You can always use it as a door stop or paper weight.

I ran into this issue with an hp.

Well. I've been off for awhile. And I thought I could get back in and give an update on how things turned out.

Everything is working fine now. All the GPU Code 43 solutions out there didn't work out for me.
So I went into Registery Editor and just messed around for awhile and deleted everything that I could associate with Nvidia and the GPU.
Than I just kept going as usual that evening. The morning after, when I started up the PC. I noticed something was different.
Went to Device Manager and found out that the GPU was no longer marked with a warning triangle.

Fired up a game. and man! worked like a charm.

So YES! I got lucky problably. Since I have no experience with Registry Editor at all. I just went with the ambition that this PC is crap anyway. So I might as well just take the chance here and screw things up really bad in the worst case.

Well! Everything is working fine atleast.
Although, I cannot give a walk through of what I deleted and edited. So Im not much of help to others who has this propblem.

In the future to delete all driver based files and registry entries you can use DDU (display driver uninstaller) Glad you got it working!
