BSOD when GPU driver is loaded/detected 0x116 and 9F

I have seen many a people to disable optimus successfully. I linked one of such threads to you. So I know that it can be done.

I'm sorry then, but my BIOS don't show any option for disabling Optimus, even after flashing my bios.

Azseral, where are you getting your Nvidia drivers? I hope from MSI. Many of the OEM companies alter their drivers to work the way they built the laptop to work, so drivers downloaded from Nvidia or anywhere else will not work right.

Neither MSI or NVIDIA drivers are working. In both cases BSODs appears. And since MSI latest driver is before 340.xx I would not be able to play newer games. I aways used NVIDIA drivers with no problems.

Any help?

Try this and see if this helps. Just for right now, don't disable the Nvidia card in Device manager..

First set the integrated graphics as preferred .....

1. Open Nvidia control panel.
2. Click on "Manage 3D settings".
3. Click on the button below "Preferred Graphics Processor"
4. Change it to "Integrated graphics"from the drop down menu.

5. Apply it.

Now restart the computer.


Now, disable nvidia graphics card in the device manager.

1. Click on the start button.
2. Type Device Manager in the search bar.
3. Click on the resulting link. The Device Manager window will open.
4. The third one should be "Display Adapter". Expand it by clicking on the "►" in front of it. Your nvidia card name will be shown.
5. Right click on it. Choose "Disable" in the context menu.
6. A dialog will appear with some scary words. Dont be afraid. Click on "Yes" .
7. Restart the computer.

Hopefully the nvidia display is out of use now, and so there will not be any further chance of graphics switching.


Let us know how the computer is running after doing it.

Hello essenbe, thank you for the response.
When my computer detects the Nvidia GPU, the right click in the desktop takes minutes to open, and then minutes (seriously, minutes) to open Nvidia Control Panel, when it opens without BSOD 9F, it stop working and that's it. MSI afterburner does not even open with Nvidia GPU detected.

At the moment my NVIDIA Card is already disabled in Device Manager, i disabled the GPU earlier without using Nvidia Control Panel, because i can't get access to it. To use only the Intel, so then i can use the non-gaming functions of this machine with the Intel GPU.

And with the NVIDIA GPU disabled, the computer runs perfectly, no crashes, no problems. BSODs only appear when nvidia gpu is loaded and detected.

There isn't a solution for my Nvidia GPU, is there?

Thank you again.

From your description, there does not seem to be. If it locks the computer up, just by detecting it, there seems to be serious problems with the GPU.

That's so sad. :/
all that money for nothing. But that's what life is supposed to be, ups and downs. Thank you for your help :)
Thanks to Golden.
Thanks to Arc.
