Nvidia MX150 Driver Update Fail / Crashed Windows 10 / Error Code 43

P

Hi all,


I have been 6 days straight trying to enable my MX150 graphics card on my Acer Aspire laptop (E5-576G).


The problem initially occurred when the card just stopped running and I figured a simple driver update would get it up and running again - WRONG. My laptop completely crashed and had Blue screen of death over and over, and over. I could not get back into Windows and there was no restore point and no Amin recognised.


After 3 hours of youtube (via iPhone) I found starting the laptop, holding ALT and F10 repeatability, I could boot into safe mode. Just a black screen with a trashbin and no other functions. I watched more vids and was finally able to reinstall Windows 10 via USB with the help of an IT expert in my office. Originally I could not install via safemode and I had no Admin recognised. He sat with me for an hour and reinstalled my admin in BIOS, installed Windows 10 and I have a working laptop again!! He now has a bottle of 12 year-old scotch to enjoy on his summer vacation.


However, after getting home and trying to reinstall the graphics driver - the laptop crashed again. This time less severe as the blue screen does not repeat like before and I can load back into normal Windows mode. I have had several crashes and several restore points activated trying to install several different versions of the driver form Nvidia and with ACER.


I have read every possible forum and watched around 25 hours of help videos, but nothing seems to work. I do have hope because a similar problem occurred with someone else with the exact same model who was told there was no solution for the fact the card was factory installed in the Philippines via Legacy settings. Mine however was installed via UEFI and so they may be a chance.




Things I have tried to install the driver:


  • Windows auto update to look for compatible drivers
  • Complete clean with DDU and reinstalling with serval driver releases via Nvidia, ACER and 3dGURU
  • Alternating installing between safe mode and normal mode
  • looking to remove incompatible software (there is none as windows is fresh)
  • Selectively removing diver components in control panel and reinstalling
  • Direct Installing via exe files saved on my desktop
  • Updated all windows components


Possible solutions not yet tried:

  • Enter the BIOS and change Graphics Controller form UMA to DISCRETE
  • Install windows 8.1 Pro and install the compatible driver again
  • Physically opening the laptop to ensure the video card correctly inserted (doubtful as the system can read its presensce)


From what I can gather, the main problem seems that there is no dedicated RAM to the driver. It says Not available as is does with Colour, Bits/Pixels etc.. How I can go from here is a mystery to try to get VRAM allocated to the GPU.


I have included several attachments and tried to be as specific as possible, though please let me know what other info I can provide or if you think trying one of the Possible Solution might work..?


If anyone could please help with a solution to this issue it would be endlessly appreciated. I know absolutely nothing about computers and only learnt the word 'BIOS' this week. I feel as if I have completed a masters degree IT over the last several days.


Many thanks to the Community in advance!!


Miguel
