[Windows 11/10] Troubleshooting - Failure to Detect Graphics Card
Applicable Products: Notebook, Desktop, All-in-One PC, Gaming Handheld, MiniPC
Should you encounter a scenario wherein your system fails to detect the graphics card, such as when the graphics card is absent in the Device Manager or only displays the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, kindly refer to the ensuing common troubleshooting methods.
For gaming laptops equipped with both discrete and integrated graphics chips, please check the GPU mode settings in the Armoury Crate application (Armoury Crate > Device > GPU Power Saving > GPU Mode).
When 'Eco Mode' is applied, independent graphics card information will not be discernible within Device Manager. It is recommended that you opt for 'Standard' to ascertain the detection of the graphics card. Further information is available in this article: Armoury Crate Introduction.
Should your device not feature this particular configuration, or if you have already configured it for 'Standard' mode, please proceed with the subsequent troubleshooting methods.
Regularly updating BIOS, Windows, and drivers can enhance system stability and performance. Ensure that your device is using the latest versions. Learn more about updating BIOS:

Try performing an EC reset (hard reset) or RTC reset can restore the hardware to its default state. For detailed steps, please refer to this article: How to Reset Embedded Controller (EC Reset), Real-Time Clock (RTC), and Hard Reset.
Attempt to revert the BIOS settings to their default values. You can reference this article to understand how to restore BIOS settings: How to Restore BIOS Settings.
After restoring the BIOS to its default state, if the graphics card remains undetected within the BIOS settings screen, it is likely a hardware issue. We recommend seeking an assessment at an ASUS-authorized service center.
Note: The screens below may exhibit variations due to product models or BIOS versions.
If the issue started recently and you have previously created a system restore point or if the system has created an automatic restore point, you can try restoring the system to a point in time before the issue occurred. Learn more about How to restore the system from a created system restore point.
If all troubleshooting steps have been completed but the issue persists, back up your personal files and perform a system restore to return your device to its original configuration. Learn more: How to Restore (Reinstall) the System.
