hi
don't want to bore you so gonna make it quick !
got an N56JR laptop , windows 8.1 (not alot of windows updates !) and a GeForce GTX760m ...

so every thing was fine until my windows stopped my GTX760m on bootup , i could disable and enable it from Device Manager it would start working again but there was no nvidia control panel and no switching between intel and nvidia , like the gpu was functional but the software couldn't support it ! now the windows won't stop the GPU at startup but still no software support ! and no switching !

after alot of searching (A LOT !) apparently this laptop have this problem with 8.1 a lot !! as it turns out i should update BIOS for windows 8.1 software-hardware support !

the thing is i don't want to make things worst ! updating BIOS , is it something tricky ? can it make things worst !?! and if it's alright how can i do it ?

the drivers are up to date - can't use nvidia's drivers this laptop only support Asus Drivers (the very root of the problem !) takes 15 sec for a desktop right click menu to show (after unistalling nvidia dirvers or disabling GTX760m it shows quickly !)

help plz !
