GPU issue

[dragoncurt]

Hi guys. I currently own a Dell Latitude E6420 but the problem with it is, is the gpu I think. When I install the 2 drivers the igpu and the Nvidia nvs 4200m then it is fine and very fast when using the web. But sometimes then when I shut it off and then come back to it later that day it can't even run netflix or youtube unless it is really bad graphics like 480p or jittering. I then uninstall Nvidia one and restart the laptop and still slow and it looks as if the windows 8.1 is then fixing the driver uninstall so I turn it off and then on again and it works really fast but once again it will just be slow if I restart/shutdown or even put it in sleep mode. Is there a reason for this as I hate at night when I can't watch netflix. Thanks

that sounds more like a network issue.

you could have a bad wifi driver or your wifi card is going bad.

Do you think so then. Gosh I will see if it is a bad driver then and see if that makes a change. Thanks. Also which GPU should be better my guess is on the Nvidia one. Thanks

you GPU is built into the CPU and the fact that you can see the screen tells me that its likely not the issue.

you may have an nvida  driver for your on board Intel graphics

well you do not need the nvidia driver unless your computer can use it to optimize the on board graphics
