    check your manual to see how to access the boot menu
    - you can make the necessary change there..

    - be very careful and follow the instructions to the letter..

    It's just Optimus switching to the CPU to save power. To change it follow the best answer from here.

    Well, if it's equipped with Optimus (and you are not running Win 7 Starter) and if you don't have any trouble when doing things requiring an actual GPU and not the intel graphics chipset, it's far far better to leave it as it is.

    Unless looking at videos or playing games or video-editing or using programs with CUDA support (or GPU acceleration), Intel's chipset is more than enough, and batteries will last more on a full charge.

    Cruzz, did you try setting the nvidia card to be always on in the global settings panel in nvidia settings? Also, what nvidia card do you have if you don't mind me asking?

    When you go to the BIOS, does it say anything about the graphics? Mine has switchable graphics enabled. So try that.
