    Hi guys,

    I recently bought a Y570. But I have the following problem:

    After some time, the screen is flickering. This is only happening after laptop runs for some time and heats up a little bit and only and only when it is on intel graphics.

    When it is on gforce graphics, it is perfectly working.

    I do not know what is happening. Is it a hardware issue or software issue?

    Is it possible to manually turn off intel graphics completely and run gforce(from bios or etc)?

    Or if this is some conflict between two graphics, is there a fix or some firmware you are aware of?

    Please let me know
