I have an Alienware Aurora R7 I was trying to fix an issue with my NVIDIA control panel not recognizing my GTX 1080. So while messing around (like an idiot) I disabled the Intel Driver instead of the GTX 1080 driver. Instantly my screen went black, and an orange light is on instead of blue on...

Hi guys, I hope you all are doing well. On a two-day old computer I bought it froze completely while I opened Netflix on Chrome. This seems to be an issue with Netflix as multiple PC users report the same issue online. No minidump or BSODS, no error in the event viewer other than the forced...
