Help! GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (Laptop) installed in PC
Without doing the proper research, I purchased a STGAubron gaming PC for my sons birthday. Several months later, I'm finding out the computer isn't what it was advertised to be and we're having several issues with it.
Main issue is the graphics card is meant for a laptop, not a PC. Not realizing this beforehand, my son tried to install the updated drivers for it and now the graphics card is completely bricked out and no where to be found in the device manager, only the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. We have tried a system restore to a previous date but that did not work.
I'm not super tech savvy so any advice/resolutions are appreciated. I'm not sure if this can be a simple fix by purchasing a new graphics card but I'm open to that option.
TIA.
