    Have you tried the restart trick where you restart, go into BIOS, change the settings in advanced video conf from SG to iGPU, let it boot, then restart again and BIOS change it back to SG?

    That helps me every single time.

    ok tryed it but no luck ........but i found out that changing from 330w to 240w made a difference (this is the original adapter of the m17x) witch is strange to me because before it was runing great on that 330w (i do still see the power precap but it worked good).
