msi gs70 optimus problem

i was playing a game on my laptop then i connected it to an external screen via hdmi after i closed the game the power button still orange meaning that the laptop (msi gs70 2od) still using nvidia graphic card
restarted the device and the power button stiil orange
disabled the geforce 765 m through device manager and it is still on
reinstalled the nvidia driver and no fix
any thoughts please and sorry for my english

 

Are you sure that's what the light means? Orange light usually means battery charging.

 

thanks for quick replying .no the power lid is blue when it uses intel card and it is orange when nvidia card is inuse also the laptop is pretty hot from right side meaning it uses nvidia card

 

You cannot turn the Geforce graphicscard off, All the external ports are connected via the 765M, if you would turn it off then you would have no screen. That's also the reason why MSI notebooks with optimus are VR ready.

 

i had that laptop for 3 years now and it was fine the 765m in use only while gaming (orange power light) and it is blue when no games are on but now it is always orange just after i turn on the laptop this consumes power and make the device hot over time
all this happened after connecting hdmi to an external screen don't know why

 

Welp, if you would stop ignring me then you would know why, I guess we will never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

sorry i don't ignore you i just want to know why this particularly happened now why it doesn't switch between the two graphic cards as it always had

 

If all the ports are routed through the dGPU then unplugging the HDMI cable will solve the issue

 

it didn't solve it .i thought that there is a program that uses nvidia card but there was no programs using it

 

You're totally igorning me. Because I answered your question in my first post.

You can deactivcate the GTX 765M in your device manager, that way all external outputs should not give a screen and the card should not be working.

 

so sorry danishblunt i already tried but it didn't work there is something missed up since i connected this hdmi cable

 

Hold on, I forgot to ask something important, do you have Windows 10?

 

yes i switched to win.10 since it was released

 

I think I found the problem.

Recently windows 10 Fall creators caused a lot of issues with optimus. Intel fixed this issue thanks to me and other people crying enough about it. They finally released drivers last month to adress this very issue.

Download this driver, install it, restart your notebook, DO NOT PUT ANY HDMI CABLES IN YOUR NOTEBOOK JUST YET, then tell us if it has been fixed.

 

thanks for replying. i did as you said but nothing changed the problem still exists
