[HELP] Nvidia GT630m problem

No need to feel bad to yourself you're just trying to help :) It's a simple yet sometimes hard to avoid mistake.

Thanks. Yes it is :)

"This is usually necessary for best performance if you are gaming"
Not true. On a relatively old Graphics chipset new drivers are actually marginally slower. The tweaks are only for the latest graphics chipset features and games.

It is what is a reliable and good driver that matters for more modest users on older cards and games.

The newest drivers are for those with expensive latest Graphics chipsets/cards Desktop PCs and latest games.

Do your own tests, you will find that this is true.

As far as BIOS goes it does not matter, the OP won't get a Laptop MOBO BIOS update either. Those tend to finish 1-2 years after the manufacturing date of a PC/Laptop.

I said "usally" [emoji4] It still applies for older graphics cards. For example a GTX 660/670/680 will still benefit having the newest drivers for playing the newest games. Don't have any sources right now. But this is kinda off topic.

But if installing older drivers (which should be done using DDU to delete current drivers) doesn't work, I would have thought a BIOS reflash could fix the problem?

Sorry, didn't notice it was a laptop until now... Haha, was late when I wrote this.

Well, what Helmut said is probably a good idea. Although I don't agree with him that having the newest drivers installed is not necessary. This is usually necessary for best performance if you are gaming, in general. But with your card I'm guessing Battlefield 1 on ultra is a long shot, and you'll probably be good if you choose an older driver.

You should visit Samsung's site and look for a firmware/BIOS update there. Although it is the same that you currently have, re flashing it or re installing it may help. Be sure to choose the exact right model. If you don't know, press start and then type "dxdiag" and hit enter. Your computer name and model will appear here.

EDIT: The BIOS I'm referring to is not GPU BIOS. But BIOS for the motherboard itself. But I can be worth trying out. But: You do this update at your own risks!

EDIT: And to answer your question: do not, ever, flash a desktop GPU based BIOS on an "M" (laptop) card [emoji4] That would probably brick your GPU.

The current version bios is P09ABI. About one year ago, i have updated from P08ABI version when i instaled windows 10. It's secure to reinstall the P08ABI now?
I'm downloading the 347.25 and 361.91 nvidia driver version to test.
I did not use the notebook for a few months, but I had to use it again because my desktop was stolen. It was working normal, but after some windows updates began to present the error in question. I work with edits of images and things like that, and it's almost impossible to run some programs on Intel HD Graphics 4000. I know the GT630 is not a strong card, but it's better than HD 4000. I still need to use this notebook for a while, Until you buy a new desktop.

Try the drivers first. I highly suggest using DDU between each install of driver. Reinstalling/reflashing BIOS should go totally smooth. Although I can't guarantee that.

Hmm. First of all; did you use DDU?

Yes i used it. In Secure mode, clean and restart system.

Then try the following:
1. Download firmware/BIOS on support site for your laptop.
2. Tell windows to not install device updates automatically like here: Stop automatic driver updates on Windows 10 | Windows 10 content from SuperSite for Windows (this may have been done by DDU, but make sure it's off)
3. Check the user manual for how to flash BIOS.
4. Uninstall drivers using DDU.
5. Follow the manual like a slave.
6. When BIOS is flashed and you have booted to Windows 10; install Nvidia driver.
7. Reboot and cross your fingers.

NB: Flashing BIOS can go wrong and brick your system. Do it at your own risk [emoji4]

Flash bios, OK!
Unnistall driver via DDU, ok!
Install driver again, OK.
Stop show error code 43, no....
I go try install old bios version now.
