Hello,
I have a Smasung QX310 laptop with nVidia Optimus Technology. When I go to the device manger it shows; Intel(R) HD Graphics and nVidia GeForce 310M under Display adapters.
Now my issue is that I am trying to play Total War: Attila and I am having problems with the game. I just get a black screen after the Campaign loading screen.
When I first installed the game it ran ok but it informed me that I needed to update my drivers. So I used Driver Boost and updated my drivers and that is when this issue happened. I can hear the game sounds but the screen is all black.
I don't know if this issue has any thing to do with this laptop having two video cards. Or maybe the driver update did something.
I read on an other thread that I can try to set my nVidia card as my primary but I cant locate the nVidia Control Panel.
I tried to run the game in window mode and saw this error, display driver for windows 7 has stopped working and has recovered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below are the first few pages of my laptops DxDiag:
