Hi just went through a deep clean virus removal from a java drive by attack.

Virus is gone computer is all clean however my GPU (Nvidia GeForce GT525M) has stopped working, It runs on optimus with a built in Intel one and only the Intel is being used on everything i try and run, games, everything.

I dont know if my GPU is dead or whether it can be fixed with something to do with the software.

What ive tried:

Installing latest drivers
Installing latest BETA drivers
Installing original Dell drivers

Doing all the above from a total uninstalll and driver clean of nvidia drivers and software

Also tried setting global setting to run all applications with the Nvidia in the nvidia control panel with no effect.

Also tried setting the exact processes e.g GTA4.exe (Grand Theft Auto IV) to run the Nvidia with no effect.

I have a GPU monitor widget on my desktop which only shows GPU temp at around 50C and after one driver install showed half GPU load being used and 4 x the full VRAM being used which was something as usually i got no readings however the GPU still did not work and it seems unrealistic that with nothing running the GPU would be maxed out.

What would be my next step im trying to get this to work im going crazy ive been dealing with this for 2 days straight.

Dell and Nvidia are useless, no-one is on the forums and no-one is prepared to help me!

Any help is really appreciated!!

Ash
