I have 2 graphics card on my laptop which one is the main one how do I check that?
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
Recently I update the NVIDIA one and after that I'm starting to have Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal issue(not sure if it's exact word but I'm sure I see that not less or equal) from time to time only when I'm gaming. please help me

IGD sounds a lot with something with the Intel HD Graphics 4600, as Intel graphics drivers have Ig*.sys, Ig*.dll.
Remove Intel Drivers and install new ones from the net or OEM drivers. Be sure to boot to Safe Mode w/ Internet.

The system probably runs "optimus" which uses the intel graphics for running the desktop and other light activities and then powers up the Geforce when things get tough like a game. It should switch automatically if this is the case.

ok, then do I have to update my Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 graphic card?
because when I try to update it, it says Error: The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer’s manufacturer. Setup will exit.

Allegedly the Optimus feature is built into all the latest nVidia driver builds. I personally have never worked on one, but hopefully someone can chime in here and give you some additional advise.

You may want to try to uninstall all displays in safe mode and wipe the drivers off the system. Then reinstall the newest ones you have.

You can remove the nVidia part easily with the tool in this link:

thank for the help but what I really want to fix is this
Please help me, I have this BSOD error randomly on my screen :

Your PC ran into a problem
Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal (Igdkmd64.sys)

after reading it from other people's post and answers, that's why I'm guessing does it have anything to do with my 2 graphic card thing.
it just happened today as well, 2 times in yesterday and it always happens when I play game.
hope you know what the problem is and you can help me with it thanks a lot wurkfur

Hi okcnaline just done that after restart I went to device manager to check see if Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 still there or not. And it's still under display adapters, what do I do now? just go to net and get the Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 and install it?

sorry I went ahead and went to this site http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect get the latest version for my driver and install it, but it won't let me do it this came up
Error
The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer
Setup will exit

what do I do now?
