Sorry for a long post...
I usually connect my dell Inspiron 15r n5110 into my Samsung smart TV to watch movies and shows. I recently backed up my hard drive and completely formatted the drive and fresh installed windows 10 onto it.
It worked a bit dodgy at first as it was on a 1024x768 resolution but it can go up to 1366x768 so I restarted to make sure it was a one time thing but it started with the lower resolution after when I approach the browser to download any video driver it suddenly switched to 1366x768 resolution just in case I downloaded the Intel graphics driver from dells website but when I ran it the program said I have a version newer than that which I'm downloading so I left it. Then I went to the nvidia website to download the graphics driver and chose a clean installation.
I restarted and tried to open gta 4 which opened until I was prompted to my character and then the laptop suddenly shut down. I thought I was done for but the laptop restarted with no problems. I tried another 2 times before giving as I thought it was a glitch with the modding.
The laptop worked normally as I opened chrome and it ran for the hours I was on it. Then I decided to watch a movie on TV so I connected the Hdmi cable on my hdmi3/dvi connection and started the movie. 1 minute into the movie the laptop suddenly shuts down.
I was confused and thought maybe i should Install the nvidia graphics driver again and leaving intel HD graphics alone but the same problem persisted over and over.
Note: I plug it and run the movie without viewing it on the TV and it just kept running I don't know what was happening as the laptop screen was shut but when I disconnected the movie was 3 minutes in and still running.
Any help is appreciated and sorry for the long post.
