Hey guys, so just recently everytime i boot my pc up and i go to get on a game i'm getting like 25fps so i checked it out, and its saying i'm using intel graphics, then if i restart my pc a few times it fixes? nothing is plugged into the motherboard for it to even be picking up the onboard graphics?

So i've just disabled the Intel HD graphics in the "device manager" and my screen went black then came back, i checked and its now using my GPU again? could that be a fix, or if anyone knows why it was even doing that in the first place i would appreciate it

You need to go into your motherboard BIOS and disable onboard video or choose PCIEX graphics card and save. After that you need to boot into windows and completely remove ALL intel graphics drivers and install graphic driver for your GPU whatever it is
