I have a Toshiba Qosmio with a 670m, and up until recently, I've been experiencing some real issues with my GPU. In device manager, under the display adapters category, the only available option is Intel HD Graphics 4000. When I click on show hidden devices, the 670m shows up. However, when I double click on it, the status is
"Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."
Yesterday I followed a bunch of "fixes" that didn't do anything. This included factory resetting my computer. This morning, it was working fine for about 2 hrs and then it wasn't in device manager anymore. If I try to install nvidia drivers, I get an error message saying that I don't have the GPU installed. All help is appreciated, thank you.

As you can see, it's hidden.
And here is the device status: http/pasteboard.co/1yU8HO6k.png
And here is the Nvidia driver install message: http/pasteboard.co/1yUlPkfK.png
