Chosen Solution
I need help with my Asus G750jw, everything was working fine and then the next day I cant find my Gpu in device manager and will only show integraded graphics. I have all ready tried to look for hidden devices and install previous drivers, also my fans are both blowing at max speed and cant fix that. Before this my date kept resetting to 2009 on my laptop as well. Can anyone help me with these issues? Thank you
Hi @ lockeofnarshe , This is just to add to @oldturkey03’s answer above. Here’s an image taken from a teardown video of your laptop, showing the location of the CMOS battery. It looks like a CR2032 battery but my eyes aren’t what they used to be. The link is to the first of two videos, the second one follows on automatically when the first video finishes and the battery can be seen in the second video.

It may be a tight fit as the battery is supposed to lock down when pushed in and you have to gently pry it out when trying to remove it. You are reinserting it the right way aren’t you? Usually it is with the +ve on top. Also if you have a Voltmeter, check the battery’s voltage. if it is <2.6V DC replace it! Back to your other problem, I don’t know the laptop but did you check in BIOS > Advance at the Graphics configurations settings to see if there are any options regarding the Nvidia GPU at all? A corrupt BIOS due to the CMOS battery problem could have disabled it. Looking at the user guide for the laptop I found this which may be worth a look:

please take a look at this website and try reinstall the drivers https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-…
lockeofnarshe this “before this my date kept resetting to 2009 “ is a BIOS/CMOS issues. Commonly caused by a bad CMOS battery that but may be specific to your motherboard. There could also just be a capacitor that holds the power for the BIOS settings. Check those settings as well and see what it tell you about your GPU (not just the OS) After that try to reinstall the drivers etc.
