So I got a asus laptop Q550L with an nvidia 745m. Ive had it for 3 years but now everytime I try to start a game or mid game the card stops and disapears from device manager. Sometimes it shows error 31 but my drivers are all up to date.

Solutions anyone??

Could be the solder is falling apart due to constant high temps (Assuming you game on it) with no assisted cooling.
Option would be try reformatting/or clean driver installation. IF no luck than open up your laptop and try finding a replacement gpu in regards to your laptop model. Good luck

I higly, doubt it, I always keep the laptop on a cooling pad to prevent overheat.
