    GTX765m Detected
    Intel HD graphics 400 Detected

    prob 1: can't hear gpu cooler noise, or even air flow.
    prob 2: hwinfo show 0rpm on GPU cooler.
    prob 3: can't open anything with 765m

    OBs, used GPUz to check 765m usage, no load, fan looks like no working, temps 50 -

    what i tryed:

    Tryed to select a game to use NvidiaCard on Nvidia Control Panel.
    Can't right click on game icon and select what GPU i want to use.

    That is step by step what i did and what is happening, if some one could help me i would appreciate! And sorry about my poor english.

    Hi, I believe you need an unlocked bios so you can set PEG graphics (check if it's there in stock first) and another option titled IDG that needs switching. You end up with no intel.

    Something to do with the bios not having a 'table' for that GPU so it will not switch, I was told. Might also have something to do with the other stuff?

    Try to use the hot-key combo to switch graphics cards, that is supposed to force the NV I believe so that may help?

    Good luck...
