hi guys,

i have a lenovo y700 15" with a gtx 960m 4gb

few months ago i freshly installed windows 10 in my laptop ,everything was fine until windows updated itself and installed my gpu drivers which caused this issue which i thought were faulty and removed them and reinstalled then found out that the drivers was fine but something wrong with my gpu

i got it on 4 of april in 2016

i used safemode and disabled my gpu and now using intel hd 530 for the time being

i thought there was a problem with harddisk but it was my gpu, ususally it stays normal for a while but after few min everything gets laggy and it crashes

when i enable my gpu my processor state is 93-95% in task manager

i tried all possible fixes such as bios stuff and regedit fixes, does gpu die in 2 years ?

as i compared my integrated and dedicated gpu the games which my gpu ran were lagging and stutters for a mili second after few hours of gaming and i experience frame drop in many games due to which i freshly installed windows 10 , but now ive been using integrated graphics card for past days it dosent seem to lagg even though the frame rate is low but its stable unlike my gpu

Did you try rolling back system to a time before the Windows update that causes the issue? Maybe even try a full clean restore to factory from the restore partition? Or did you wipe that when you did a Windows 10 setup?
