Bronze Level Poster
I've had my LT just over 12 months, shortly after buying it I had a problem where the graphics card wouldn't handle the software I was using. Support told me the chassis came with it's own graphics card & to use the main card I had to authorise it each time I used that particular software. The software has advanced & has now thrown up problems which I believe are directly related. I've put a ticket in for support but while I'm waitng for them to come back I wondered if anyone one here knew how to make the main graphics card run continuously or is it a return job.
My spec is.
