IdeaPad Y580 Nvidia control panel won't switch to dedicated GPU

Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for a while already, I try to switch the default GPU for Rust PC game. It's set on integrated Intel GPU and I try to switch it to a dedicated GTX660m video card. The problem is, everytime I enter Control Panel, switch it, press Apply it switches back to integrated GPU! I can't play the game because it just won't run on Nvidia GPU and I have to launch it via Steam. How can I permanently switch to GTX600M card? Is there any way to do that instead that control panel which does nothing? Or is there any way to permanently disable Intel HD graphic? Help please!

Dear Qbuteq
Welcome in lenovo community
Have you tried to reset the BIOS
Also you can right click on the game and choose run with Nividia and check .
Just let me know
Thanks

  • NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL APPLICATION HAS STOPPED WORKING

    I have got a big problem here with NVIDIA cards and have not been luck at all. My problem started when I had a clean install of Vista 32 on my HP XW6600 which came with Windows XP installed with an option to upgrade to Vista. When I upgraded I also upgraded my GPU from GT 9500 to Quadro FX1700. When I tried to open the control panel all I got was an error message saying it has stopped working. I never had this problem in XP with the 9500GT.
    I later sold the quadro and purchased the Geforce GTX260 and had a clean install of Vista 64 on my system. But still this nvidia control panel cannot be opened. I am a professional video editor and needs the advantage of two monitors when running Adobe Premiere PRO CS4. I have seen some forums which says uninstall all nvidia drivers, use CC cleaner or Drivesweeper, in safe mode and reload the Nvidia drivers once again. but all this have failed.
    My patience is running out now and I am now considering switching to ATI cards. I wanted to take full advantage of cuda with nvidia and was looking foward to purchase a quadro 5600 for maximum added perfomance. I have just ordered a second monitor from DABS.COM which I intend to hook up with my system and without accessing the Nvidia control Panel I will be in trouble.
    Am I missing something here. PLEASE tell me know if you have got an idea on how to resolve this. I have attached a screenshot of the error message I get.
    System
    HP XW6600 Vista 64
    Quad Xeon 5420 2.5ghz
    250 GB C drive
    750 GB D drive

    GTX 260
    4GB RAM
    ADOBE CS4 Production Premium

    "It has to be that HP thing"
    Bill what is this HP thing. Could you expand on that please because I have just completed a clean install using HP RESTORE plus disc and my drive was completely wiped out. Not even Windows OLD files were left.
    I then installed the drivers using the Original CD that came with the GPU, still the problem remains. I updated the driver using the internet and it didn't help neither. I have also purchased an Intensity PRO editing card and expecting a 22" HD monitor thhis morning for HD editing.
    I think ATI is the way forwad. Which is the best ATI card for HD editing. Budget maximum GBP£150.
    YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

  • Quad SLI option not available in Nvidia Control Panel after complete reformat

    I had a SSD failure on this new build in Raid 0. Before I RMA'd the HD I went with one HD and was able to get Quad SLI running. Now after going Raid 0 with the new HD I had to reformat and I reloaded the OS and then updated all the drivers. Now I no longer get the option for Quad SLI even though my cards are seen by the device manager and the NCP. I can only go SLI on one card and can dedicate a GPU on the second card to Physx. I used the uninstall feature for each driver last night and then restarted in Safe Mode and used driver sweeper to clean out any remnants.  I then rolled back to an earlier nvidia driver on the 500 series with no luck. I installed Live Update but did not use it except to scan my system. It shows the latest Bios so that has not changed since. I also made sure that I was using the latest Realtek drivers. Any help will be appreciated.
    MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) latest Bios
    Win7 64bit Home Premimum SP1
    2 EVGA GTX 590 Classifieds
    16g 1600 Corsair Vengence
    2 ea SSD 120g Corsair Force GT's Raid 0
    Antec 1200W HC gold PS
    Coolemaster HAF X Case
    Corsair H100 H2O

    NO i was not able to get windows to load. I would have an intermittant SSD failure at diferent points during the installation process. I went to a single drive and it installed fine and after completion I downloaded updated drivers and went into the nvidia control panel and activated quad sli. I did have to remove one of the cards during the SSD install in order to facilitate the installation of the Sata cable into the MB. It is possible that the SLI bridge may have gone bad since it was disturbed. I ordered another one to be sure and it will arrive today. While waiting I switched the video cards in their slots to check them and I also verified that the PCI slots are good. Is there some history of a conflict between Raid 0 and 4 way SLI that I should be aware of?

  • Boot Camp Control Panel Won't Open in Win 7 with 3.1 BC 64bit Drivers

    I have an early MacPro running both SL and Win7 64 bit, each OS on a dedicated drive. I installed BC 3.0 drivers previously without problem. I upgraded the BC drivers to 3.1.
    Now, if I attempt to open the BC Control Panel, I get an error message stating I "don't have privileges to modify the startup disk." I have administrative privileges! I checked the properties of the Control Panel (resides in Win folder/sytem 32) and ensured that I have full user control. Also, I tried to open the Control Panel in compatibility mode with no success---same error message.
    Anyone with a similar issue?? Anyone with a suggestion to resolve the problem.

    I'm having same issue. I don't trust that simply adjusting Digital Vibrance is returning my colors to normal. This adjustmet just makes things grayer to me.
    Problems started after:
    Upgrading SL (10.6.2) on Mac side
    Installing Bootcamp 3.0 from SL disk onto win 7.
    Downloading and updating Bootcamp 3.1
    Colors all look 16 bit and saturated, though nvidia control panel says color depth = 32 bit.
    I've tried:
    Rolling back my driver to previous settings
    manually downloading and installing both nvidia driver versions separately (181.22 32bit + 197.13 64bit)
    Also tried going to control panel checking for driver updates (says latest is installed).
    I own eye-one display calibration hardware but don't want to go through this process until internal functioning appears normal.
    Any suggestions out there for me?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Control Panel won't open/Software License Service fails to run

    I'm not sure what happened, I had left my computer on sleep for about 4 hours, I came back and I was getting these UAC messages even when I was opening elevated mode for task manager.  Soon I realized my control panel won't open.  After some googling, the problem was apparently linked to a service called Software License Service and it was either caused by virus(but I have avast..) or files that somehow got corrupted. I had:  updated my system using Thinkvantage system update + did a system backup+ ran memtest86+ + turned off AMT + turned off Intel onscreen display.  That's all I did before this happened.The error code I get when I try to start control panel through cmd is Error 34 (don't know what this means).  And Software license service won't start.
    *control panel opens fine in safe mode
    *ran sfc, there were problems that 'couldn't be repaired'
    1. Is there any way to fix this, ie is there a hotfix available or something I can just download and install?
    2.Any idea what might have possibly caused this?
    3. I did a quick restore using the backup I did and the problem was still not fixed.  Will a full restore help or will I have to resort to factoy restore?
    Thanks.  *having so many problems with the new thinkpad + vista =/*
    I have a T400(2764-CTO) 32 bit on vista business.

  • ICloud 2.0 Control Panel won't load on Win 7 32-bit

    I installed iCloud 2.0. The install seems to work but the following issues occur:
    iCloud control panel won't open
    iCloud icon in notifications area won't open iCloud
    Outlook 2010 won't open, instead it hangs in the splash screen with "Processing..."
    iCloud is running according to Task Manager
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with the same result.

    Here's what worked for me after looking around this discussion board:
    Uninstall iCloud
    Reboot
    Make sure that if you're using a web proxy (many corporate accounts require these) that you don't use a proxy script file (.pac file)
    For 32-bit Windows 7:
    In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
    On a 32-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files" folder.
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
    Find the APSDaemon.exe file and set it Run As Administrator
    Reinstall iCloud 2.0.
    Note: APSDaemon.exe causes iTunes to hang on quit. I had it renamed to disable it but it's required by iCloud.

  • TS3354 iTunes states I need an HDCP compliant monitor to play HD video.  My Nvidia control panel states I have a compliant monitor and card.

    according to my nvidia control panel my monitor (shimian 27in (apple cinema display) IS HDCP ready, but itunes thinks otherwise.  Running a GTX780 in 2560x1440 resolution.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Ok so I got it going by turning down my monitor's resolution to 1080p. A bit annoying to flip back and forth but a simple solution.

  • Nvida control panel won't let me set up to single or clone display with mbp

    In mac os, I have no problem using the external display. But in windows (bootcamp), in the nvidia control panel at the multiple display set up menu, whenever I chose single or clone play for my external monitor(I actually want to use the external display) and when my external display is on, my mbp would flash ones and the Nvidia control panel would blinks then blinks, and keep readjusting back to laptop single display. But when my external display is off, then I chose the single display for my external monitor, my mbp would turns black; then when I turn the ex monitor back on (it shows no signal), instead, my mbp's play would come back on...
    Please help me on this, I've google it and found no solution. Thank you.

    I've been googling to every website, can't find anything. Asked around too, nobody encounter the same problem. Still no solution. Because of this, I havent use window for a long time. The main reason I want windows is to watch streaming TV in Tudou, I want to use Tudou's video accelerator that's only compatible in windows...

  • Logic Board Replaced -Nvidia Control Panel Missing

    Hello kind readers and helpers,
    My laptop had to have the logic board replaced (twice) because of a faulty Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card.
    Upon its return, the Nvidia Control Panel was missing from the System Preferences and I'm now limited to the
    adjustments I can make to the screen. The Nvidia Control Panel used to be there before the board got replaced.
    I really need access to more detailed adjustments as I edit photos and video on my laptop and the current
    display setting adjustments available in system preferences are just not cutting it... I need my Nvidia Control Panel
    back!!
    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? I went to the NVidia website to try to download the drivers, but they
    have no support for laptops!! Ough, faulty graphics chips and no laptop support!! Really?!
    Please help me guys!!!
    Thank you so  much! =)

    Hello guys,
    Just FYI, with the Nvidia Control Panel the resolutions available to me were much higher than those available in the display system preferences; 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz (VGA) and  2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (DVI). Now, the highest resolution available is 1920 x 1200.
    Thank you for your time and support! =)
    Ahhh, now it's making sense. You have a 17" (I have a 15"). 1920x1200 is the highest resolution possible on the built-in 17" display. Your MBP can output 2560x1600 to an external display, but that's dependent on the external display's capabilities. I wonder if that Sys Pref you're asking about only shows with an external monitor? Would that fit your experience?

  • My nvidia control panel dissapeared from mac pro

    My nvidia control panel dissapeared from early 2008 mac pro running 10.6.7 osx snow leopard with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card.I have tried reinstalling the driver from the nvidia website,time machine,and software updates.Nothing seems to bring it back. Solutions anyone?

    Hi Jack,
    Yes the GT120 will work with the DVI port but the mini-displayport will not function on the card so you'll be limited to using one display. The handy thing with adding a GT120 to a 2008 Xserve is you can use it for compressor if you want to, to render videos.

  • Nvidia control panel for gtx680mx on iMac

    Hi,
    I baught the late 2012 iMac and was wondering if Apple provides the all features/software for the NVIDIA GTX680MX that it comes with. When NVIDIA drivers are installed on the PC, the drivers that are installed on the system have the NVIDIA Control panel and the settings specific to the video card to tweek the video settings. I dont see them on the system prefrences or anywhare. I do not see any Mac/OS X drivers on NVIDIA'swebsite either.
    Cheers,
    Sameer Jaffer

    NVIDIA drivers are included with OS X, and Apple updates them with every maintenance updates. Those drivers don't include the NVIDIA Control Panel, as it happens in Windows, and there isn't a NVIDIA Control Panel for OS X

  • W520 and hooking to TV - No DisplayPorts show connected in NVidia Control Panel

    I had hoped the video would go well, leaving me to just have to worry about the audio issues when trying to drive my TV from the W520. I have the latest BIOS and NVidia Optimus drivers from the Lenovo site.
    When connecting the TV to the laptop DisplayPort I tried to bring up the NVidia Control Panel (and also Desktop->Screen Resolution) to see if I could see the second monitor. The 3 DisplayPorts show no connection in the NVidia Control panel. Is this indicative of the cable maybe being bad (Should I at least see one connected even without a cable)?
    Other thoughts?  Thanks,
    Eric

    hey ericvn,
    have you updated the drivers for your nvidia yet ? The current version right now is 8.17.12.6871 and if yours isn't this version; do update it.
    if yours is this version, try uninstalling and reinstalling and at the same time do test the cable on a different unit.
