Hey all. I tried googling my issue but found no results for the past few days.
My issue is whenever I connect an hdmi cord from my laptop to an external monitor, my OS immediately freezes. I cannot move the mouse or use any keys. I can't even adjust my screen brightness. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OS:
Linux MyPC 4.4.0-109-generic #132-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 9 19:52:39 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
GPU:
NVIDIA-SMI 384.111 Driver Version: 384.111
(Laptop also has intel integrated graphics)
If any more information is needed I will definitely be happy to add to this. Thanks again!

Re: HDMI Forces OS to freeze
Are there any BIOS settings on the laptop to select which GPU is used instead of Optimus?
Re: HDMI Forces OS to freeze
My laptop has intel integrated graphics and a nvidia chip. It uses the integrated graphics by default and I can setup certain programs to use the nvidia gpu. I don't have any BIOS settings other than defaults.
