Problem with Intel HD Graphics 620 x Nvidia GeForce 940mx

[TTSL]

We bought a Laptop Dell 7460 (i7) with Intel HD Graphics 620 and Nvidia GeForce 940mx.

The intel driver cause problems on Windows 10 (1703), as Crashes and many times alternating the Display between Black Screen and Desktop Image, sometimes resulting in Blue Screen Error (video_tdr_failure (igdkmd64.sys)).

We contacted the Dell Support, but they didn't offer a solution.

On Linux, Ubuntu (16.04), the problems happen too.

The Laptop just Works with the Driver Intel HD Graphics 620 disabled!

Hello Ale_TSL,

Thanks for the information you sent to me. I would like you to try updating some of the computer drivers in a specific order. Please install this driver first, and then restart the computer http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=HMDR4 http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=HMDR4 Install this other driver, and then restart the computer one more time http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=PF0V2 http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=PF0V2 I would like you to reinstall graphics drivers as well. Since your computer comes with two video cards the graphics drivers need to be installed in a specific order. You can download both video drivers from the following links: Intel video driver https://downloadmirror.intel.com/26772/eng/win64_154518.4664.zip https://downloadmirror.intel.com/26772/eng/win64_154518.4664.zip NVIDIA* video driver http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=3V5Y8 http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=3V5Y8 As soon as both video drivers have been downloaded on the keyboard press WinLogo key + r, then type in devmgmt.msc, double click on Display Adapters -> Intel HD Graphics -> Driver tab -> Uninstall -> Select the check box Delete the driver software for this device -> OK, but do not restart the computer yet. Please uninstall NVIDIA* driver as well. In Device Manager double click on Display Adapters -> NVIDIA* GeForce 940MX -> Driver tab -> Uninstall -> Select the check box Delete the driver software for this device -> OK, and then restart the computer.
