A tricky question for a computer technician (could be software or hardware?) solve it if you dare

TC, I know not everyone is made of money, but it's time to upgrade bro.

This is about as cheap as you're gonna get a new laptop with a dedicated GPU:

Or you could wait a couple more months and get a laptop with an Intel I5 + Nvidia 1060m GPU for $800 range. They're putting 1060s in laptops right now, but those are actual desktop 1060s going into laptops, which is why those laptops are $1300+ range. The "m" designates the GPU as being for laptops. The 1060m models aren't out yet.

He's not using integrated graphics, his GPU is an Nvidia G96m

Device manager states the opposite.

Most of the modern computers switch between the graphic adapters automatically and he could have captured the screenshots with no load and descrete graphics off, but the adapter should be present in the device manager.

And to be honest its not only path of exile, i cannot load any game.

It's time to give Goliath a 21 gun salute. Sounds like a real soldier. You got 7 years, almost 8 out of a laptop, so Goliath died a natural death due to old age.

Btw i forgot to add these pictures, why you're saying i have G96m? where did you saw that because i had an argument with a friend about it. I remember that i do have nvidia G96m but my buddy says the opposite that it's integrated graphics. I remember at the early years that i also had Nvidia control panel in my computer but with the years and the many formats i forgot i had that and thus the reason i state too i have nvidia G96m. But why are you saying that? i mean where your eye catch that?

It can't be due to his aging i refuse to admit that...Goliath has more to offer...everything was splendid a week ago, wut the heck happen now suddenly xD

I can still watch movies and use editor tools just fine, well it's not anything with serious programming or serious image or video editing but still, some stuff are working ok.

And btw even my laptop is too old it's appearance and condition it 100% GG i had a stable computer for 15 years (i think it was...pentium? yea ah good times xD)

Im so annoyed by that, even if that's the case... even if it is about smth broken i wont rest if i dont find what exactly is it. I must know or i'll freak out. ;_;

What you need to do at first is reinstalling the laptop with a compatible operating system. Which OS was it initially with? Probably win 7?

Mind that Vaio are pretentious. Get sure that you use the proper OS, supported by all Vaio drivers. Then download and install all the drivers and utilities off their shitty site.

Vaio doesn't exist anymore as a brand, and the software support could be problematic. Be aware that you may eventually need to look out for some of the drivers all around the internet. Beware of viruses.

This SC is where it says you have an Nvidia G96m:

Something else to point out is that it says your monitor frequency is "1hz" in the above SC. There is no way that's correct. So it's possible you don't have a G96m either. Speccy is definitely giving you some screwy readings.

If you do have a G96m, then it's possible the GPU crapped out, and your laptop is using integrated graphics instead, which might explain why you can't launch some games anymore when you used to be able to.

I came across with some new clues serlock, have a peak on this strange picture, it shows something really disturbing that i didnt noticed earlier with just one glance. BUT upon a closer look and investigation i can say this seems fishy.
