NVIDIA Graphics Card Not Being Detected in Device Manager

I've recently purchased a ASUS TUF Gaming A15 laptop. It has got two GPUs: an AMD Radeon integrated GPU, and a NVIDIA GTX 1650.

AMD GPU works just fine, but recently when I started a game, i came to know that the NVIDIA GPU had got disabled.

Things I've tried:

  1. Went to Device Manager, it's not there(not even the "Show hidden devices" option works
  2. Tried updating the device driver manually, but can't as NVIDIA's setup tells me "NVIDIA GPU wasn't detected in this system"
  3. Set the BIOS settings to Default.

    Ok, I've managed to find the solution to this problem myself, and I'm sharing it:

    NOTE: This works ONLY for ASUS laptop owners.

    1. Go to your ARMOURY CRATE software.

    2. There go to your GPU Power Saving and make sure the Standard option is selected. I accidentally enabled the Optimized option, due to which the software disabled my GPU.

    And that's it. You now have the GPU visible in the Device Manager. If your GPU name in device manager seems translucent, then you probably need to reinstall the drivers.

    Also, thanks to Sumit and Raju, who took their valuable time just to help me with my problem.

    Ok then I should do that.

    But, if it had actually burnt, why should it be just after i finished gaming? Why didn't it happen while the game was running?

    Please update BIOS to v316 and see if it resolves the issue.
