    Yeah, I understand however I'm having more issues with the chip set. Missing the ability to use HD card. It defaults to the intel chips. When I go to divice manager it shows that the chip set is not fully installed. How do I fix that?

    You install the drivers and set It through them, or disable the iGPU by using the hotkeys.

    It's also very possible that the 6990M is dead.

    Card is not dead. I'm upgrading and it worked fine. It's 100 percent driver issue but can't find them.
