    Hello all,

    I have a Area-51 M17x which in the BIOS I have set the laptop to run on the two GTX 285's instead of integrated graphics but everytime I start up the laptop on battery power the laptop switches back to integrated graphics even though I have set the feature in the BIOS to run the GTX 285's.

    Why is it doing this? How do I get the laptop to start up with the 285's enabled without it changing back to integrated on battery power?

    Thanks in advance.
