OK so I just got my computer fixed. They replaced the motherboard? (I think). Anyways now that I got it back, I cant play any steam games or epic games (fortnite) without disabling one of my graphics cards, Intel hd graphics 530 or Nvidia geforce GTX 970M. When I disable my Intel graphics card the resolutiion gos crazy, my resolution basically divides by 2, and when I remove my nvidia my FPS is horrible. Ive tried setting primaries on nvidia manager 3d. all my drivers are up to dat, PLEASE HELP!
 
Sounds to me like they didn't do things quite right when they 'repaired' it. Take it back and get them to fix it correctly. If it didn't do this prior to their working on it, then they need to fix it, on them.
 


Hello thanks, first I had so many spelling errors, and ill try that

 


actually sorry I took so log to respond but I should mention that when I first got my laptop back it was working correctly
 
The one GPU would be attached to the motherboard, so if they replaced it, it may be a defective part. I would still have them relook at it. On them.
