Changalang Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So this is where I'm at. I have a Clevo P150SM-A, put an i7-4710MQ in it, and don't plan on using a discrete gpu at the moment.I scrounged up a non-working Quadro FX 2800M and plugged it in just for the temperature readings so that I can boot.I flashed Prema's (thank you by the way Prema) P150SM-A mod v1 successfully, and managed to turn the dgpu off.The problem is that it won't stay off.Whenever I shut down/sleep the laptop, the dgpu comes back to life on reboot. That is, it's still non-functioning and undetected, but it starts drawing voltage and overheats (since I didn't think to get a heatsink for a gpu that I didn't plan on using).I've figured out that if I change the dgpu generation (say for example from gen1 to gen2), and then f4 save and reset while the laptop is connected to my ac adapter, the dgpu will then be turned off again.I was hoping there would be a more elegant solution to my little dilemma.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Guest Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Just disable the dGPU in BIOS, then save and exit. After that make a full shutdown from within Windows. Then remove the AC Adapter for a moment, plug it back in and then only reboot.Should stay off after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgottenbhs Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Is there a way to disable the dGPU in the P170SM-A with your latest bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgottenbhs Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My apologies, by dGPU I really meant iGPU. Anytime I run the WEI tool it only reports on the HD4600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not possible only via driver. (only the iGPU is connected to the monitor and also used by dGPU traffic. No iGPU = no picture). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
