I have a laptop with two graphics cards; Intel HD 3000 and NVIDIA GT 550M. When I enable both cards in Device Manager, my laptop screen flickers and freezes. The NVIDIA doesn’t work alone but the Intel works alone, so I have to disable the NVIDIA and use the Intel.

How do I rectify the issue to make both work together without any conflict?

PS: Both card drivers are updated to latest.

U have no choice than to go back to the default driver that came with the laptop.

Unless the manufacturer issues an updated driver, u are stuck.

What u have is a switchable graphics card and their drivers are mostly non upgradeable.

Just uninstall the updated drivers for the 2 cards and install the default driver from the manufacturer website and u will be fine

Thanks Bro
Are you sure this would work?

Yeap it will.

I used to have a hp dm4 core i5 with switchable graphics (intel and amd radeon hd) which i use for 2d/3d motion graphics, etc and the love affair was good.

Not until i decided to update and couldn't find an updated version on the manufacturers website so, i went dirty and got updated drivers from amd and intel seperately (just like u did) and bam, trouble started, our love affair went sour.

It went on for days until I rolled back before things were fine again.

So, just give it a shot.

The issue is once those manufacturers come up with a model with switchable graphics, they hardly update it rather, they abandon that and start working on something new.

Anyway, give that a shot and lemme know!

Cheers bro!

Bro, I did this and I still have the same problem. Could this be because I upgraded the laptop from windows 7 to windows 10? Both the original versions of Intel and NVIDIA drivers that were installed on the laptop can only work with Windows 7.
Do you think downgrading to Windows 7 would work?

Why not downgrade back to win7 since you noticed this after win10 upgrade.

I didn’t do the upgrade. Bought the laptop with Windows 10 already installed
