I am getting very confused with this issue recently. As the title says there is no option in my Nvidia Control Panel to change the preferred graphics processor (http://i.imgur.com/q7nipy9.png). It isn't really affecting my games but Premiere Pro CC won't load and Photoshop takes way longer than usual too. When I try to load Premiere pro it gives me an error that says "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.". I think that it has something to do with the Nvidia Control Panel issue. These issues started to come up it seems just after I installed the new Nvidia driver. I have re-installed that driver twice now, the second time doing a "Clean Install" or whatever Nvidia calls it. Here are a complete list of my specs http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YnJT23.

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: SOLVED!! At least the photoshop issue :) Okay so what you need to do is download Adobe Photoshop CS6 (I would assume CS5 would work too). Sounds a bit harder than it is but it's very simple. I concluded that this photoshop's issue has to do with CC. Go to this SITE it will give you a guide on how to download older versions of Photoshop! (I would assume CS5 would work too)
 
Solution
Adobe CC does not work well with the new nVidia cards, when I run Lightroom and Photoshop, I have to disable GPU Acceleration or the system crashes.

It's not card/hardware issue, it's Adobe CC

Thanks for the reply! How do I go about turning off GPU acceleration?

I am assuming this is in Photoshop's preferences? Under preferences in Photoshop there isn't a GPU Preferences option.

I solved my Photoshop issue! I had to download Photoshop CS6. I updated my post with a guide on how I fixed it just incase anybody has the same issue with Photoshop.
