Hi,

Please do try doing a clean install of the graphics card driver that may solve the problem.
- Go to Device manager and uninstall the Nvidia graphics driver.
- Next is to open Programs and Features then uninstall anything that you see related to Nvidia.
- One completely uninstalled, download and install the latest driver from Nvidia.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed.
- After the reboot, do also set Nvidia as the default GPU.

hey thanks for the help, but now when i go to the nvidia installer for version 368.39 (i went to the website and put in my exact graphics information) it says "Nvidia installer cannot continue - this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware"
