Finding hardware in BIOS?

I think my nVidia 630M died, since I cannot find it in Device Manager and the drivers cannot find it, but I want to make sure. In the BIOS, It still gives the option to use Optimus, but I don't know if that's just because Optimus is still installed.

I don't know exactly how to find any information on installed hardware in the BIOS, so any help would be grateful.

Update:

It is on a laptop. It has onboard graphics so that's why I'm able to see just fine.

    if i'm not mistaken it is a notebook graphics card right? if you can see display in your laptop then 100% sure that it is ok. the only reason i think you can't see it in device manager probably it was installed by a diff driver. download this software called cpu-z. install or run it from you computer and you will see your computer specs. It will show your current graphics card under graphics tab. You can download it here http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

    uninstall it first, unplug, then plug again then install again, its may help (be sure you have the driver softer with you before uninstalling)
