Windows 10: GPU/Graphics Issues.

Hello! I'm writing another question/issue report since this has been haunting me for months. Issues I'm having: - Playing a game, hardly any issues at all, frame rate is fine, etc, I play on high graphics, especially Roblox- I'll be responding to something on Discord or just playing the game - My screen freezes, for a second I can move my mouse, but then after the entire screen freezes- Screen goes black, as if it turns off, then turns back on- Sometimes I get a popup saying if I want to connect a certain audio device like my monitor instead of my microphoneSometimes I'm able to get in like...

having issues with multi GPU

I’m trying to offload certain apps to my iGPU on the second screen, using the new graphics settings in the recent win 10 release. the issue is it’s only showing my 1070. lists it as both power saving GPU, and
high performance GPU.

I’ve been fiddling for a while now with no joy, and i’m really hoping one of you guys has an idea they can suggest to sort this!

I can extend onto the second screen no probs with it plugged into the iGPU, but the 1070 is still listed as both power saving GPU and high performance GPU.

Are there requirements for this? certain level of iGPU for it to work?

Thanks

Edit - setting the secondary screen connected to the iGPU to be the "main" display in graphics settings makes my iGPU show as both power saving and high performance GPU, I just can't seem to get them
to be one and not the other.

 

Custom Driver : Intel HD Graphics & ATI Combo (Alpha) - by nIGHTmAYOR

according to laptop support page they do list an old downloadable driver for intel for windows 7 , weather this is related to there being several variants of that laptop or this laptop has switchable graphics i may just suggest you reset the bios and see if things change , if yes you may be able to apply step 2 , if not then apply step 4 and call it today , you are still better off being on the high performance gpu .

Out of curiosity can you take a snap shot from Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click the “Graphics Settings” ?

 

GPU

Hi,

This issue may happen if the GPU is taking more time to display the graphics on your monitor and if the graphics card or driver is already problematic.

As an initial troubleshooting step, try to uninstall then reinstall the graphics driver and see if the issue will persist:

• Press Windows key + S and type devmgmt.msc.
• Press Enter.
• Expand Display adapters.
• Right-click on your graphics driver.
• Select Uninstall.
• Click OK.
• Restart your computer.
