    Hi there,
    I hope this is the right platform to ask. Sorry if not.
    My notebook has a intel graphics card and a nvidia card.
    Instead of switching to using the nvidia when necessary it just says the intel has a issue and stops working properly. Could anybody tell me how to fix this?
    Thank you :)

    What Acer is this one ? Sounds Like you need to update Intel Graphics Driver and or Nvidia Graphics Driver, switching is done thru Optimus,,go to Nvidia and download the latest graphics driver.
