Went to play starcraft low graphics setting seem that the Intel was taking the primary slot - so I change the graphics settings to nivida only. Restart required. Black screen on load up. Can get into bios lunch recovery mode etc no change. Seems obvious that's its the GPU settings that had caused this but now I'm stuck and don't know what to do had previously had this issue but had not updated things step by step so couldn't isolate the problem did a fresh install and started again. can anyone help what's my next step.
Thanks in advance.
OK so I don't know how or why but I haven't touch my system since posting orginal edit (sunday 25th)didn't realize I had left it on since opened it up to a lunched OS but it had frozen. Looking at the time it had frozen at 730am this morning reset and its working now only issue is before sc2 would launch now it doesn't

So further poking around and it seems that Starcraft 2 is crashing while doing shaders compliation.
So in an attempt to fix the shaders issue I installed an update from drivers manger for the nivida (recommend) 535.... and low and behold laptop is stuck on black screen we are back to the beginning......
