I ran into a BSOD while using BlueStacks yesterday, and I noticed that my laptop gets pretty hot when I play Roblox along with BlueStacks. After uninstalling BlueStacks, I found that Roblox is still only using the integrated graphics instead of my Nvidia MX250 GPU, which is kind of odd. The driver version for my GPU is from November 2020, so I think it's time for an update! Can someone walk me through how to update the graphics drivers? Also, could my GPU be malfunctioning because it's not being recognized?

Another quick method is to use the Nvidia driver download site directly. Just enter your GPU details, and you should see the latest drivers listed. A refresher here—ensure your antivirus isn’t interfering with BlueStacks after you update your drivers.
You can update your graphics drivers by visiting the Nvidia website and downloading the latest drivers specifically for your MX250. You can also check if your laptop manufacturer's website has the latest drivers available. Another option is using the Nvidia GeForce Experience app if you have it installed. Lastly, don’t forget to check Windows Update, as sometimes it can help with driver updates too.
The easiest way is to just Google your GPU model with 'drivers' added at the end, which should take you to Nvidia's official site where you can find the latest drivers. But remember, before you dive into gaming again, ensure that virtualization is turned on, as conflicts with BlueStacks could lead to BSODs.
Also, if you can access Safe Mode, that’s a good place to troubleshoot issues related to BSODs. Don’t forget to look into enabling virtualization if it’s currently off.
