MSI - GT 750 No longer using Nvidia Drivers

[Kioshi Rin]

Hey there I have an old MSI Laptop with a GT 750, it ha a few errors and has only gotten worse overtime, Clock is out of sync, even when resyincing, only lasts 15 minutes or so. Nvidia drivers no longer work, not sure how I can even run mot of the games I do.

How do I go about fixing my laptop, I'm not even sure what to ask, but some advice would go a long way. If there' a webite, or a PC guru, I'm just holding out until I buy a new gaming laptop.

Download DDU app and use it to boot in to safe mode and wipe the Nvidia drivers.

Then download the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.

Let me ask you this before I do that, because I'm not a tech guru. I used to have this compatability mode with Nvidia, I could select games to optimise in an Nvidia panel, I no longer have that, will doing this return that option?

That is the Nvidia Geforce Experience tool. Don't use that it is crap. You do not need to "Optimize" your games all it does is slow down your system you only need the GPU drivers.

Also once you have installed the GPU drivers go to the Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Global settings > Preferred Graphics processor > High-performance NVIDIA processor

Alright doing that now, I apprecite the help. What is my pc doing to play games currently if the nvidia drivers are meed up?

I would like a few more details:

1. "Clock is out of sync" What do you mean?
Are the date and time correct?

If your Nvidia driver is not working, your system (assuming Windows) is using default Windows SVGA drivers for standard VESA modes. That happened to me when I first booted into Win7 when I upgraded to a newer card than my Nvidia driver version supported. But I am a Linux user (which also has drivers from Nvidia) and only rarely boot Windows.

And/or many gaming computers have hybrid graphics with Intel integrated graphics for low power use, and Nvidia graphics when you need more speed for gaming.

Time being out of sync and graphics issues could be dead CMOS battery which keeps BIOS settings in CMOS and keeps hardware clock/calendar running when computer is off.

PS: I have an MSI GE60-2OE from Oct 2013 I think. with i7 Intel HD 4600/Nvida GTX 765M graphics and it no longer even turns on properly. On for 7 seconds with blank screen as power use and fans spin down, off 4 sec, on 7sec, off 4 sec... until I hold power button long enough to keep off (fully charged battery, battery + PSU, or PSU only).

I was just assuming OP was not ech savvy. But yeah I am also curious where OP is getting this error.

Empty Cmos maybe?

If the Date/Time are not holding, then you need to replace the CMOS Battery.
Laptops have this just like Desktops do. On Laptops though it tends to be sealed, with a 2 pin connector

some models might be easier, where its more easily accessable and replaceable, like this:

The clock is never correct? Like with the internet time server, I always have to resync it, messes up some of my games if I don't constantly reset it, not sure how else to explain it.

Making a system backup just in case the download does something wonky.

@Bad_Motha Replaced my battery already thinking that was part of the issue.

Then it sounds to me like the Motherboard is failing. Honestly, that Laptop is really old now, it's time to think towards other options.

Soon as I got it it had a time sync error, so I'm not throwing it in the water just yet.

Try turning off the Clock Sync in Windows
Set the time and date, and regional time-zone.
Then reboot and check the time and date in BIOS.
Once set and checked, power off the system, disconnect the AC Adapter and Laptop main Battery. Press and hold power button for 10 secs. Then come back in a few minutes, re-connect just the Laptop battery and power on the laptop, then see if the time/date is correct still or not.

[Kioshi Rin]

Bios? And if I set it manually it won't be insync with the internet time server, itll be a few secs off, which I think will still have random issues for games.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

No it wont; it only has issues when you're off by hours/days/months.

One way to test this theory is doing Check For Updates via Windows Updates.
If your time/date is way off, it will toss up an error for this very reason.

Just backed up my pc it took forever, am I launching it once i'm in safe mode? Then simply downloading the latest driver? Or a different way etc?
