error with gtx 960m graphics card on my dell inspiron 7559 laptop......
so i just got this laptop second hand on carousell a feww days ago and everything seems fine until i tried updating the gpu driver, then the laptop will freeze after the nvidia updater says that the driver has finished installing, and then proceeds to give me a blue screen error of driver power state failure. I then went into safe mode and deleted the driver and i can finally reboot my laptop but the laptop doesn't seem to use the gtx960m when im gaming even when it is shown in the device manager. The nvidia control panel does not work too and it says something that goes along the line of this software is not compatible with your driver. I also tried installing the driver from dell's official website but even when it seems to have installed without crashing the graphics card still ain't working. Also sometimes there will be an error 43 message after i changed the driver. I've also tried installing gpuz and check the gpu info and i can see that a lot of the gpu's info is unknown there. The last time i tried installing the newest gpu driver the same freezing happened, but instead of the driver power state failure error i got the dpc watchdog violation one. I've attached the dump file in this post as i'm not familiar as to what the results mean.
