Wrong GPU model reported after BSOD

Good afternoon guys,


Yesterday after not using the laptop of a while I played a couple of hours using my P170EM/GTX680M.

It worked fine, a while after I closed the game I got a bluescreen since I was already heading to bed I ignored it.

Today I'm turning on my laptop and got 2 BSOD in a roll, after that I went into the BIOS and noticed the laptop was reporting a GTX675MX instead of the GTX680M.

It now boots but still reports the GPU as being a GTX675MX, GPUZ also reports it as a GTX675MX with the bandwith, memory size, speed, texture fill rate of the GTX680M:



Does any one have an idea of what might have happened and if there is any fix for this issue?


Edit: The GPU is actually still functional, Kombustor ran on it


Cheers,

Sagres

 

Still showing the right specs, could be some bios corruption.

 

If you are allowing the Redmond Retards to have control of your driver updates the INF file they applied probably has the wrong GPU name associated with the hardware ID. (You can use an INF mod to rename your GPU anything you want it to be.) Based on what you described, I would guess this is what happened. I'd grab DDU and head on over to NVIDIA.com (or, even better, get a @j95 mod from here https://premamod.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/j95-nvidia-inf/). Then clean out the current crap with DDU and reinstall the driver yourself. But first things first... disable automatic driver updates or this is going to happen again. Or, better yet, disable all automatic Windows Updates.

 

I'll do as you say and check if it solves the issue, I indeed had the automatic updates disabled, I had removed it in the past but somehow they managed to put it back in...

If the previous procedure does not work how could I solve that? That was actually my initial suspicion so I tried using nvflash to reflash a bios on it but it said version mismatch with this bios .
