Hello,
My Nvidia 980M Graphics Card hasn't shown up in my computer ever since the CMOS battery was taken out and put back in (At least, I assume this is the cause, I could be wrong).

For the past week I've been looking all over the internet for solutions but nothing has worked,
I've updated all of the drivers from the MSI website, i've updated my BIOS, among other things, and I can't think of anything else that would work, I'm out of ideas and I really need some help, so any advice would be greatly appreciated :(

Greetings!

I had a similar problem and fixed it by deleting the existing Nvidia drivers, Game Experience, etc., and then reinstalling updated drivers. This fixed my issue with my laptop not seeing my graphics, hopefully your issue is as simple.

Hope this helps!
