Alrigth. Ill mark this as solved then :) thanks alot for the help!

Alrighty. But since attempting to use only 1 also didnt work out, do you agree with me that this is an RMA/return case? :) Thanks again for all the help you've given. I really appreciate it! :)

Alrighty, thanks :) Do you have any solution to the problem though? or should i just send it back to the dealer?

Alright. I tried setting it so that my dedicated(nvidia gtx880m) ran as the main GPU. While trying to press "apply" i noticed loads of glitching etc. I then exited out of the GPU control panel, and figured i'd reopen it and check if the changes were made. Back inside; i noticed it said...

Thanks again axe0! So you mean i should basically go into device manager and deactivate the integrated intel gpu? (i would like to try to test a game) But regardless of if this works as a solution, shouldnt this be a reason to send my 20 day old laptop back? I shouldnt just accept having to...

Thank you again for your answer axe0! :) But i very very rarely/never "switch" myself, and my previous computer this worked flawlessly. Many/most of these BSOD's occur when im in games running in complete fulllscreen mode, for lets say 25 minutes, shouldnt only the dedicated GPU be running...

Well in most games, the nvidia dedicated GPU autodetects it and starts running. In some i have to assign it. The GPU lamp also kicks in. But i never use it while lets say browsing. So, yes, i guess i use both my GPUs, but not at the same time. I dont know if this answered your question?

Thanks again for your answer :) The laptop is only 20 something days old. I have however opened it up and cleaned it. There was NO dust or anything anywhere by the fans. I noticed no difference from before and after. I also checked and both fans appeared to be spinning sufficiently.

thanks again. I downloaded the manufacturers driver, both for the integrated and the NVIDIA GPU Ran Furmark, which after about 7 minutes resulted in a BSOD with the same "video tdr failure". I monitored the temperatures and when it got to 85c i forced the fans to full, making it drop to about...

Thanks again for the reply. I tried doing as you said. I now tested Titan quest and Metal gear solid. Both games with and without daemontools installed. Either way resulted in crashes. I also noticed some different type of behaviour this time around: During titanquest, the game simply froze and...

Hi axe0! Thanks for the reply. I had daemon tools installed previous to the BSOD's appearing in the first place. I did however still uninstall Daemon tools now, and tested with Metal Gear solid V; didnt even manage to see any intro/logo sequences; straight to BSOD video tdr failure...

Dear eightforums, I recently recieved my new laptop and preceeded to do a clean install of w8.1. There was no OS installed. Downloaded windows updates and drivers from the sellers webpage. Installed steam and played several days of hitch-free Metal gear solid V as well as many many hours of...
