Is there anyway to disable IGP in y510p without interfering with the 750m, this could be through the modded bios or windows.

Yea, i cleared out my restore points not too long ago, so i may just have to reinstall windows

This has happened for a while now, so i don't exactly remember. I'm on windows 8 and i have a lenovo y510p so my os is on my 1tb hdd and i have a 24gb ssd( i uninstalled express cache cause i could never get it set up right).

Now what've noticed is when i try to shutdown the computer, after a little while the computer crashes and restarts and gives me this error in the dump file:

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.

The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Also i have an update that isn't installing for some reason and i'm not sure why, this may be the cause of it, here is the windows log:

Hmm odd, expresscache keeps giving me ecbase.dll cannot be located when i try and install it.

Has anyone had issues where their y510p hangs when shutting down or restarting as in the laptop is stuck on the "shutting down" or "restart" screen. The only way i was able to shut mine off was by holding down the power button.

Nope no RAID support with this machine, so Intel SRT SSD caching ain't happening. You need to download the ExpressCache software from the Lenovo website to enable SSD caching.

Do you have another link because that link redirects to an amazon page.

If you don't really need more than 8 gb I would suggest to go with 2x4GB better/faster RAM instead, higher speed and lower CL.

Honeslty I agree with him, unless you have some specific reasons for 16 gb of ram, 8gb is the way to go.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to switch either manually or automatically between the 4600m and 750m when the laptop is unplugged. It seems that whenever anything graphically intensive is run the laptop relies on the 4600m instead of switching to the 750m, it makes sense power saving wise, but if i don't care about saving power it can be quite frustrating.
