Which by the way is also the reason why this was the last pc I purchased with an nvidia graphics card. Intel graphics -> much less trouble...

You should have saved yourself some money and not bothered with a graphics card then, especially not one that expensive.

It came with the laptop that I wanted for other reasons. But as I said. Intel graphics for me in the future.

Of course, but your posts read like "I bought a V8 muscle car and ran it on cruddy gas and it still did the school run".
