[Y510Man]

Hi everyone

i have problem with updating my y510p lenovo laptop nvidia driver ,my current nvidia driver version is 327.62 which i download from lenovo website,Now for better performance in new games like gta v and witcher3 ,i decide to updating nvidia driver,first remove my nvidia graphic driver from add or remove then download nvidia ver 350 from nvidia official web site , which nvidia website confirm it support my graphic card which is Gt755m , then i install new ver and during install i check clean install , after successful install , restart laptop , then there was problem . when i try to open nvidia control panel it wont running and an error showed up and said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" .

i try to open a game , game running in really low fps and i find out game run on hd graphic of my laptop and my nvidia graphic wont run .

The only way to repair was i install my last nvidia driver 327.62 and run a system restore .

guys what is your suggestion and how i can update my y510p nvidia driver ?

Thanks

Try downloading NVIDIA GeForce Experience. It will automatically detect your GPU and update your drivers, a safer option in my opinion. Also, make sure you do a clean install (select custom installation, there will be a box for it near the bottom). Once you've done that, let me know if anything changes.

thank you ArChLinuxOS

i did that before , i use geforce Experience to update driver , and i had a clean install and also had a clean install in safe mode ,install was successfully finished But the problem still exists ,i cant open my nvidia control panel and had same Error .

Is the card showing up in Device Manager? If so, does it show any errors or is it supposedly functioning properly?

sorry guys for delay
yes , card showing up in device manager and it seems like setup successfully and ready to use , but when i try to open a game , nvidia control panel wont open (with same error) and  games run on intel graphic .

Hi Y510Man,

     The video graphics installation order is important. You need to install the Intel Graphics first, and then do the Nvidia. IIRC you should un-install the Nvidia driver, then re-install (or upgrade) the Intel HD Graphics driver. Reboot, and install the new Nvidia driver.

     I don't know why, but every time I upgraded my Y470 Nvidia driver, I had to use this procedure. First install, or re-install, the Intel driver, then install the Nvidia. You can't just upgrade the Nvidia driver without a re-install of the Intel. I think it has to do with the Optimus setting, and the automatic switching.

    Let us know how it goes.
