Heya guys, me again. I have a problem here and nothing I do seems to fix it.
MSI Afterburner says "No Supported Hardware Detected!" upon startup, and when I run Dxdiag, it says Intel HD Graphics family. Even old games play horribly when it's running on it's battery. But when it's running plugged in, it shows up as a Radeon 6470m, and all of my games work flawlessly. I'm really confused about this right now, and has been happening for the past 6 months or so. Also, i don't want to reformat my laptop as I have important files there and I have no External Hard Drive. Help!
