NEED HELP DISABLING INTEGRATED GRAPHICS IN BIOS

Essentially the title is self explanatory. Im having issues with the options that the out of the box BIOS provides on the MSI GT70 0ND 444US, I cant find the options to turn the integrated graphics off because one of my programs is auto defaulting to the intell 4000 graphics rather than my Nvidia dedicated card in the laptop. Its causing issues with game play mostly low frame rate and bad quality graphics in the game. I don't know if i need to unlock or update the BIOS, generally just in the dark on the solution and iv tried a few things, but to no avail. If anyone Preferably a MSI tech specialist can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

In the nvidia control panel you can add or remove what programs you want to run with the discrete graphics, you can also right click a program/app and click run with discrete graphics. I don't think you need the integrated graphics but I also don't think they give you the option to turn it off. I have a msi laptop as well and msi completely takes power usage out of the end users hands, my CPU was throttling to 800mhz and I contacted msi and they said I needed it to to that for battery saving, I told them I always have it plugged in and I want it running full tilt 100% of the time, my gpu was throttling as well. The problem is that it was throttling both even with it plugged in. I finally found a program that overrides that crap!! It's called throttlestop. Now my gpu runs where I have it set to run and I have 4 presets on throttlestop for what I want my cpu to run at, I can even keep it at max turbo speed if I want.

  • How to disable iNTEGRATED graphics On the Y40? in bios

    i want to fully disable the integrated graphics through bios. in the switchable graphics and uma, either use both or integrated basicly. how do i change it so its dedicated instead of integrated? 

    Good luck, but i dont recommend third party softwares to control the hardware of a laptop (especially the ones that have no reviews)
    Chrome should work fine on an integrated chip, heck I could play games on the integrated chip back in 2006. I think your issue may be loss of performance in Battery mode.

  • Z77a g43 | i5 2500k | Disable integrated graphics

    As the title states how do I disable integrated graphics from the bios on my z77a g43 motherboard running a 2500k. Finally got a dedicated video card Radeon HD 7870 

    Don't want it warming up the CPU (Overclocker a few degrees can make a difference ) and to get optimal performance out of my Radeon 7870.
    And yeah the Radeon is already up and running.
    So I'm guessing there's no way of completely disabling it from bios?

  • Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

    need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

  • Disable integrated graphics on Lenovo C200 AIO?

    Hi, is there any way to disable / turn off integrated graphics (intel gma) and use only nvidia ion on my Lenovo C200 AIO? I know that some notebooks have this function in bios, but i can't find anything here. Thanks a lot for reply.

    hey halfman,
    welcome to the forums.
    as i do not have this particular unit with me, i can't say for certain but usually this feature is to be done via the BIOS.
    check your bios and see if it is at version : 14 .

  • Need Help with Corrupted Graphics

    I need help real bad. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find the reason for crashing in game (not blue screening but corrupted graphics) where the whole screen goes like a television that isn't tuned in, and then after anywhere between 2 to 5 mins my computer will reboot. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar issue, and if there is a fix. I'll list my system specs and a couple of things I have done that hasn't fixed it.
    AMD64 3200+ 939 90mn
    MSI K8N Neo2 - 1.4 bios
    2 x 512mb Geil UltraX
    Leadtek 6800u
    Audigy
    SuperFlower 14cm 500watt
    I haven't started to overclock my machine yet as I have yet to fix this problem. Everything is running stock. I'm finding that its random. I can play Prince of Persia Warrior Within for hours on end without a problem. Then play Counterstrike Source and it will go to  after about 5 mins. I decided to try benchmarks and 3dmark01 will do the same thing randomly. Even Battle Field will play for about 10 mins and it will just go to the fuzzy screen. I even heard that some Soundblaster Cards cause problems and have tried using the onboard sound, with no effect. I have also disabled AGP SideBand and AGP Fastwrite in the bios, as also this can cause some issues, to no effect. I thought maybe the video card maybe the problem, and threw a crappy 5700 LE in my machine, still with no effect. CPU temp is around 36c (water cooled) and GPU is around 48c. Does anyone have any idea as to why the screen craps out in just about every game I play. I'm running Winxp Pro SP2 with DX9.0c, with the latest Drivers for everything I'm running (mainboard, vga, sound, etc). If you can suggest something, please let me know.

    X-((Well, This sorta sounds like what just happened to me.
    My graphics card decided to take a dump on me. When I was playing a game the graphics went all garbled and everything froze. System rebooted a couple times, and yes it seems the cards fan stoped rotating and it fried.
    So to me, it sounds like your video. But you say you tried changing video cards with no effect.
    Dang.  Sorry I cant think of anything. But on the bright side, your post was bumped.  

  • Disable integrated graphics on HP Envy dv6-7200ea

    Hello. My laptop comes with two graphics. The intel hd 4000, and the nvidia geforce gt630m. I have searched for an option in the BIOS to disable the integrated graphics (intel hd 4000) with no success. I've set the global settings in the nvidia control panel to use the nvidia graphics card, but never-the-less, programs like PC Benchmark, emulators, games, editing software all use the intel graphics card. All intel and nvidia drivers are up to date. Any help on this matter?

    Hi @ChocoMocoHD ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you do not see an option in the bios to disable the integrated graphics.  This is not always an available option.  Sometimes a bios update will provide that option.  You can check the driver and software page for you notebook to check for a bios update or you can run HP Support Assistant  to help locate and resolve issues.

    A  bios update does have the potential to cause damage, so you may wish to consider contacting HP support for assistance with that process.

  • GX70 Disable integrated graphics?

    Did some googling for ways to disable the 8650 on board graphics and some sources pointed towards BIOS, I had a look around in there and didn't see any such option.
    Is there a way to turn off integrated graphics, I use my laptop plugged in 99% of the time so power consumption isn't an issue. I am applying for a beta and they want my dxdiag uploaded, would rather my dxidiag show my dedicated graphics however it is showing the integrated one instead.
    Any solutions I am missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Quote from: Terranos on 11-December-14, 06:11:06
    Ok, thanks.
    Is there a way to confirm which graphics is being used by which application?
    I know you can configure switchable graphics, but is there any way to confirm that the didicated GPU is being used by a game?
    you can see it by power button if it's blue then it's using intel one if it's orange it's using nvidia one blue can be white as well depending on laptop.

    hi,
    i have a problem installing an ASUS Geforce4 Ti 4200 AGP card into MSI K7N2G-L board, as my pc refused to boot with AGP card onboard. Is there any way of disabling the integrated graphics, as I did't find the option in bios.

    hi
    to disable onboard gfx just install an agp card.
    it is possible you did something wrong during the installation like not insert the agp card correctly or a cable got loose during the install or it could also be a hardware failure.
    can you post the poweroutput on the .3v 5v and 12v rails on the psu.
    check for loose cables.
    uninstall ALL gfx drivers before you change gfx card.

  • Need help installing my graphics driver in windows vista via boot camp

    New to mac so first time on forum as well.
    Love the Mac but i also want to get on some old games. C&C The First Decade mainly.
    I am currently using below.
    Mac mini Mid 2011 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core it
    Memory 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
    Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    Installing windows vista home premium 32 bit
    I have installed windows vista home premium using boot camp assistant and downloaded the windows drivers as well. After i have installed windows i installed boot camp using my Mac OS X snow leopard which installed boot camp 3 or 3.1 i believe and i eventually got apple updates for 3.2 which is what i am now runnning on vista. I had trouble getting my sound to play through my speakers at first but eventually got them working and now it is my graphics driver that i cannot seem to get working. In vista(I also downloaded service pack 1 and 2) when i go to control panel and check out my device control it shows a yellow exclamation point next to the adapter. I guess i need help in getting my graphics installed correctly on my windows. Is there something i should take off to install the correct driver? Or do i just need the correct driver download? If i have the correct driver how do i upload it onto my windows side in the device control.
    When i try to run c&c generals/zero hour i get a directx 8.1 error, red alert 2 is black but i can hear. i know these games can work i installed the graphics correctly the first time when i did not have sound as this is my second time installing windows so the game did load when i did not have sound.
    Advise?
    I was thinking about saying forget this i can't waste hours of my time anymore but i have to be close to getting everything working if i had graphics before and no sound but sound this time and no graphics. I was also thinking about just buying windows 7 home premium sp1 64bit system builder dvd off amazon and reinstalling windows using windows 7 but i want to make sure i can play these games before i spend the money. I thought my mini couldn't support windows vista and if it did only boot camp 4? how am i getting this far to get things to work?
    What is the driver i need to install to get these games working? What do I need to do or what am I missing???
    Do i need to install a different boot camp off apple and find a driver that will get mine to work in vista?
    Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated i have been at this everyday for hours.

    Also is there something, say maybe a driver, that was installed i do not need that is blocking me from installing the correct drivers? What driver in my boot camp folder do i need to install to get to the correct display to run those games.
