As of yesterday I noticed a significant loss in FPS when gaming.
I have now come to realize I think my Laptop has stopped detecting the Graphics.
As on system monitor it says dGPU performance 0% fan speed 0 and no temperature.
See here; http://imgur.com/a/oihe9 (I tried the [iimg] code I failed...)
My Specs are : MSI GL62 6QC Gaming Laptop
■Intel Skylake Core i5-6300HQ 2.3GHz
■8GB DDR4 RAM + 1TB HDD
■NVIDIA GeForce 940MX 2GB
■Windows 10 Home 64bit
Does this mean I will have to send for repairs or is there a way to detect it again?
Thank you
 
Try updating the drivers and see if that resolves the problem. Sometimes things are just out of step. You also should check the BIOS and make sure it is actually loading in there/still listed.
