<![CDATA[ Re: Lenovo Y580 doesnt detect NVidia graphics card ]]> https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1396/1592818/1593888 Just go into the BIOS look for a setting called "Graphics Device" or something like that, and make sure it's set to "Switchable Graphics" instead of UMA or whatever.  Then when it starts up it should recognize the card.
