Can run certain games on intel, but not GeFroce GPU

This seems to be an issue with Saints Row IV and Gat Outta Hell. If I right click and run from the Intel 4600, the games run (shockingly well for the Intel). But when run through my GeFroce 750m, the games freeze up at the first screen. Just some sound, the start of animation... And then frozen. I've googled this and played around with the display.ni file all day only to get the same result. I've re-installed my graphics drivers and am clueless. I've had this same exact setup but re-formatted and now I have this issue. The games were located on a secondary drive that wasn't formatted... But I re-installed them and the same thing happens. I know these games worked before without an issue, please any help would be cool. If you're just going to google it, maybe you'll see something I missed, but the chances are, I've tried it.

I had a go at it, because I'm willing to try anything, I don't care about reformatting at this point... But now I can't re-install the GeFroce drivers, and when I went to the device manager, the GPU isn't even listed. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware issue. Not a connection issue. The GeForce GPU was working and worked with other games before using this uninstall tool.
Assuming you've played with some of the settings for the game(s) in Nvidia Control Panel I would try DDU then re-install drivers.

Did you make a restore point as suggested on the DDU site? Also enable hidden devices in Device Manager. Reboot again.
Try installing the drivers.

Nah, I just restored from a system image of only drivers and windows updates and nothing else really installed. I tried running the game and the same thing happened. I wonder why the heck my GeForce 750m poops on the Volition games I have, but doesn't mind the others. I mean, I ran these same games a month ago.

Maybe need to try an older driver if you are on the latest one. Did you have the same driver a month ago?

I've tried several older drivers, it's strange. Because I've had the exact same setup as before. I'm clueless.

Is strange, I'm kind of out of ideas too. Just seems something had to have changed on your system. Was the image you restored from taken before or after this started?

Yes. ... A system image of simply windows 8.1 with updates and drivers and that's all. And the games worked on it before. I've since then done a fresh install and it's all the same. I've literally played these games on the same exact system image I've used before, I'm baffled.

Just as an update to anyone who's seeing this... None of my games are launching from the 750m... The default is set to it, so when I ran Ultra Street Fighter 4, I assumed it was using it. Got an A in the benchmark with the intel, that's pretty sweet... But now I'm seeing nothing is running on the GeForce. I wonder what the hell I did or could have happened. This stinks of driver issues, but I'm not seeing how it could be as I can re-format and install old drivers all day with the same problem occurring.
