Hi

Reinstall the Nvidia driver from LENOVO website...NOT from Nvidia...

All the best Brett

The above may work, and has worked for others.

I recommend you install both the Intel and the NVidia drivers though.

*I also suggest you inquire if your laptop allows the drivers from NVidia to work as the ones from Lenovo are almost a year old. Probably not.

**If you ever reinstall Windows from scratch normally you can use the drivers from the NVidia site (I did so). The following is from the LATEST DRIVERS: http/www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-314.07-whql-driver.html

"Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported (NVIDIA Optimus technology is supported)."

So it sounds like you CAN use the 2013 drivers, though likely ONLY with a fresh Windows install. It may be worth TRYING the latest drivers anyway, they either won't install or you'll get issues in which case you can simply remove them.

Hi

There is a NVIDIA REMOVAL tool on Nvidias site....

Use that FIRST...

Then the drivers from Lenovos site...
