Hi @thattechman,

Don't know as the manual is not explicit but try getting into BIOS > Device Information > Video Controller and check if there is an option there to disable the Nvidia GTX GPU and use the integrated Intel GPU as the primary (and only) display adapter.

Did you look in System Configuration or Video to see what options are there regarding the graphics adapters?

by

It will not go into windows for more than a few minutes before BSODing, when i did get to the graphic adapters it was fine until the gtx 1050 showed up and then almost instantly it bluescreened

Try getting into BIOS on startup if possible i.e. don't go into Windows.

That's what I meant about looking at system configuation or video. If there are any settings in BIOS not in Windows

by

All those settings i sent above are from the BIOS, not in windows.

In video all you can do is ctrl the brightness, and in system config it has as follows: SATA Operation, Drives, SMART Reporting, USB Config, Dell Type-C Dock Config, Thunderbolt Adapter Config, USB PowerShare, Audio, Keyboard Illumination, and Misc Devices
